MUMBAI: Considering how long Malaika Arora Khan has been burning up the big screen, who would have thought she was once a gawky schoolgirl?From a rather quiet start, the diva slowly rose up the ranks in Bollywood to become one of the industry‘s biggest pin-up girls. For those wondering about the woman behind the star, catch Tarana Raja Kapoor in an exciting conversation with Malaika on celebrity chat show Let‘s Talk this Friday, May 30, 2008 at 7.30 pm - only on Zoom, India‘s premiere glamour and entertainment channel.

Apart from an interesting peek into her professional and personal life, the bombshell speaks about her first item number - the gorgeous Chaiyya Chaiyya, alongside Shah Rukh Khan - that earned her the ‘sex bomb‘ tag almost overnight. Also, did you know that Malaika‘s classmates in school referred to her as a bunny rabbit, on account of her buck-toothed appearance?

Malaika reveals her fitness secrets and speaks candidly about her decision to marry, which surprised many at the time. She talks about her move to the glamour business, saying, "While in college, I was majoring in child psychology. All of this happened rather surprisingly and, like they say, the rest is history." There‘s another surprise when she speaks about her much-discussed fashion sense. Apparently, Malaika takes the trouble of dressing up only if forced to make a public appearance. At home, she admits to being anything but fashionable.

The conversation turns interesting when Tarana mentions the fact that Malaika proposed to hubby Arbaaz Khan after a five-year courtship. The actress also speaks about her roles as wife, mother and daughter-in-law, saying her family always gets first priority. She says motherhood is the best thing that happened to her and admits to son Arhaan being her biggest weakness.

MUMBAI: MTV Hero Honda Roadies 5.0 - the baap of all rides meets its end at Kuala Lumpur and Ashutosh Kaushik, the seedha-saadha village boy was declared the ultimate Roadie! The exhilarating journey which began with a big bang in Goa finishes off with an explosion in Malaysia where the most laid-back no non-sense guy turned out to be one of the ultimate schemers of MTV Hero Honda Roadies 5.0.

This small town ‘dhaba-wala‘ went through three rounds of auditions in Delhi, Lucknow and finally Jaipur where he was chosen on account of his astounding ape-like antics. The simpleton thought airports had platforms and was unsure whether he‘d get food on the flight! Along with the Thai-boxing escapade he was the only Roadie who got away with not eating the nauseating oriental fare. Love at first sight was just a village fairy tale till he set his eyes on fellow Roadie, Sonel! So at the end of it, third-time-lucky Aashu had first-hand luck all the way. Even though he wore his heart on his sleeve, his mind was on the game and feet on the ground, showing true Roadie spirit all through the journey! Says Ashish Patil, General Manager MTV India and VP Creative & Content, "After a 16 week long grueling journey full of action, adventure, fights, betrayals, drama, accidents, romance, jealousy across 3 countries - MTV Hero Honda Roadies 5.0 reached its climax. Where two friends fought it out to find the last Roadie standing. This has by far been the most explosive season of Roadies!"

Comments an ecstatic Ashu, "Roadies ne mujhe joh sikhaya hai woh mein apni puri zindagi mein nahi seekh paata. Duniya ki sair bhi ho gayi aur naye dost bhi ban gaye!"

The Roadies have come a long way with the hard-hitting reality of dangerous tasks and even more dodgy contestants. Every vote-out was a bitch-fest, filled with back-stabbing and lying. In the midst of all the bogus comradeships and phony flirt-trips there did surface friendships, bhaicharis and a whole lot of love stories!

Says Raghu, AVP, Shows-MTV, "Throughout the journey crafty schemes, devious plots and blatant deception all lived in harmony. Roadies is a reality show that not only tests how strong you are physically but also mentally. This is time around the tasks were more dangerous and the game more twisted and Aashu outsmarted them all!"

MTV Hero Honda Roadies 5.0 showed an astounding 60% increase in viewing, rating over this season and has a fan following of over 1,50,000 members on Orkut and 13,000 members on Facebook. The mere popularity of Roadies has generated an underground cult following that discusses each Roadies Episode, contestants, the task and much more.
