Bigg Boss 5 : Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone evicted from Bigg Boss house on 31st December 2011




Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone, whose entry into the Bigg Boss house created a buzz, has become the last contestant to be ousted from the reality show this season.

Sunny's eviction came just a week before the finale and she feels that people did not vote for her because she did not create much drama on the show.

"I feel sad that I couldn't make it to the final after being so close. I don't think it's because of my work that people didn't vote, but probably because I didn't create much controversy or pick up fights," Sunny said over the phone from Mumbai.

The 30-year-old actress maintained a low profile in the house and said that she found good friends in fellow contestants Akashdeep Saigal (Sky) and Juhi Parmar.

"I am lucky to have made two good friends in the house. When I came in I didn't think that I will stay in touch with anybody but I will keep contact with Sky and Juhi," she said.

Force One 4WD SUV Car to be Launched in Auto Expo 2012 : Features, Photographs, Specifications




Pune-based Force Motors, who forayed into the passenger car segment in August 2011 with its Force One SUV, will be presenting two more variants of its flagship model at the upcoming Auto Expo that will kick start on January 5.  The much-awaited 4X4 variant of the Force One SUV will be launched at the Auto Expo along with a luxury edition of the SUV, which the company refers to as 'a luxury weekend getaway version.'

"We will show a four-wheel drive and a concept luxury weekend getaway version at the Auto Expo 2012, with the latter having luxurious interiors," Prasan Firodia, managing director, Force Motors said.

The Force One has already secured a reputation of having incredible road presence thanks, mainly to its impressive personality. It has sourced its 2.5L Diesel engine from Daimler AG. The engine is capable of providing the 4WD SUV a maximum power of 140Bhp with a really impressive peak torque 315Nm. If the two variants live up to the expectation that the auto experts have from them, the SUV segment is definitely going to witness some serious competition in the near future. Market analysts as well as consumers will be interested to know the result of this competition and to see whether Force One is going to win the battle over its rivals, including the Mahindra XUV500.

Bigg Boss 5 : Mahek Chahal to return on Bigg Boss, Mahek will have to compete with Shonali Nagrani and Laxmi Narayan to win this chance to re-enter the show. The person who receives the maximum votes by the audience will enter the house

Bigg Boss 5 : Mahek Chahal to return on Bigg Boss,  Mahek will have to compete with Shonali Nagrani and Laxmi Narayan to win this chance to re-enter the show. The person who receives the maximum votes by the audience will enter the house




This season's Bigg Boss has seen many twists and turns and as we get close to Christmas, one last bomb is yet to explode. Mahek Chahal, whose eviction received a lot of mixed reactions, has been approached to re-enter the house again as a wild card contestant



But Mahek will have to compete with Shonali and Laxmi to win this chance to re-enter the show. The person who receives the maximum votes by the audience will enter the house

When contacted, Mahek confirmed the news, “I have been out for more than a week and in this time all that I have done is viewed the episodes of the 10 weeks that I was in the house. I was quite shocked at most of the footage that I saw and I now know the realities of so many people who are still in the house.”



Mahek added, “I very seriously want to enter the house and teach them a lesson for back-stabbing especially since I considered them to be my friends. Moreover I want to settle scores with Sky and make sure the audience knows about the plotting that Pooja Bedi and Sky have done against me to get me out of the house.”


Since Shonali and Laxmi have not really added any spice to the show, we hope that Mahek does come back on the show as the fireworks that would follow would surely be really worth watching

Equity linked saving schemes or tax saving mutual funds, ELSS - an easy way to save taxes if you have not totally exhausted your 1 lac limit under section 80C.

Equity linked saving schemes or tax saving mutual funds, ELSS - an easy way to save taxes  if you have not totally exhausted your 1 lac limit under section 80C.




Equity linked saving schemes or tax saving mutual funds are one of the better options for you to invest if you have not totally exhausted your 1 lac limit under section 80C.
See whether the investments you have already made such as the PF that gets deducted from your salary each month; life insurance premium that you have paid or need to pay; tuition fee for your 2 kids, if any; and the principal amount of your housing loan, all add upto Rs.1 lac. If not, then ELSS could be the better option to choose from amongst the other products under section 80C, provided you have the appetite for risk.
- First, it is the only product which has equity exposure (100% equity) and thus can offer you superior returns as compared to FDs or NSCs. The New Pension Scheme (NPS) also has exposure to equity, but it is limited to only 50%.
- As a mutual fund, ELSS offers you all the advantages such as diversification, expertise of fund managers, convenience and ease of investing through ECS and you can invest with as little as Rs.500 unlike other equity mutual funds.
- With a lock-in of 3 years, ELSS also has the shortest lock-in period. So, your funds are not tied up for 5 years or 6 years like in FDs and NSCs.
- As a category ELSS funds have performed well, the 3 year lock-in period giving the room to fund managers to take long calls and thus reap benefits.

However, there are some points you need to consider before investing in ELSS.
1. All things said and done, you should invest in an ELSS only if it suits your requirements and goals. The younger you are, higher the propensity to take risk and invest in aggressive investments like equity. So if you are nearing retirement, ELSS may not be the best product for you. Similarly, if you have some important goals coming up within the next 3 years, then locking in your monies in a risky investment like ELSS would not be advisable as markets could be having a bear phase and hence your ELSS investment may not fetch you good returns though you may get some tax advantage.
2. While selecting ELSS you choose should look at its track record and definitely at the mutual fund promoting the ELSS, its investment systems and processes. Always remember there’s more to a mutual scheme than just returns. Look for consistency mainly in the performance with relevance to risk and returns, portfolio turnover ratio expense ratio and the portfolio of ELSS.
3. Now is probably the time you can invest in ELSS and avail tax benefits as once applicable in its proposed form the new Direct Tax Code (DTC) might take away the tax benefit from ELSS, from April 2012. So get going!

Bigg Boss 5: Ex Miss India Shonali Nagrani evicted from the reality TV show Big Boss , She managed to survive in the Bigg Boss house for 75 days

Bigg Boss 5: Ex Miss India Shonali Nagrani evicted from the reality TV show Big Boss , She managed to survive in the Bigg Boss house for 75 days




The ex Miss India has managed to grab a lot of attention and made a lot of fans.
Well like every Saturday one contestant gets evicted from the Bigg Boss house. This time around Shonali Nagrani is the unlucky one to part ways from rest of the contestants. The IPL anchor has been in the house since inception of the show. She has managed to survive in the dicey atmosphere of the Bigg Boss house for a while now. In the 75 days that spent in the house, she lived every moment.

Shonali was seen dancing to the tunes of the wake up song almost every day and she would not resist herself from flaunting her trademark hip shaking moves! The pretty girl from Delhi has made the most of her time in the house. The beauty queen has also made a close friend in the form of Siddharth Bhardawaj the self proclaimed youth icon.

 Shonali was always seen hanging out with him during rough patches and post fights. Siddharth would seek her shoulder whenever he was in trouble. The duo was seen bonding quite often in the show. Shonali would teach Siddharth how to cook, keep his calm and motivate him in not giving up easily. Seems like Shonali would miss a dear friend from the show.
