Bollywood's biggest stars perform at NDTV - Toyota Greenathon

Bollywood biggest names came together to support NDTV and Toyota Greenathon - the biggest ever initiative to spread environmental awareness. The programme kicked off on Feb 7 and was live for 24 hours during which Bollywood bigwigs took the green pledge to save the environment and enthralled the audiences with their mind blowing performances.

Bollywood Buzz brings you a special slideshow on some of the top-notch performances of the day.

Madhuri Dixit who is currently in aamchi Mumbai made sure that she could also play her part in supporting this noble cause. Needless to say, the Dancing Diva's performance left the audiences asking for more.

Govinda may have done his bit for his locality and community as a MP but this time as a citizen of the country, Chi Chi did his bit by gyrating to some of his chartbuster tracks and thereby promoting the cause to save the environment

The Greenathon commenced on all NDTV networks on Feb 7 at 7 pm IST. Some of the activities as a part of the initiative included round-the-clock clean up drives in Mumbai city and Yamuna Ghats in Delhi; a 24-hour marathon run by Milind Soman; and a musical extravaganza by renowned Bollywood stars. Among the many performers who sizzled on stage for this noble cause were Bollywood hotties Bipasha Basu and Malaika Arora Khan.

Next in line at this star-studded extravaganza were funny man Arshad Warsi and the beautiful Dia Mirza. While Arshad grooved on stage in his new look (with moustache et al) Dia looked her prettiest best. The acts were choreographed by Shiamak Davar and his troupe.

It was not just actors and actresses but also singers who pledged this cause. Sunidhi Chauhan who has given many a chartbusters in recent times gave a power packed performance along with other singers such as Shaan, Kailash Kher, and Sukhwinder Singh. All in all, a good time was had by everyone and the right message to save our environment was conveyed in the right way through this initiative.

Govinda hit by a mini bus

Bollywood star Govinda had a narrow escape on Saturday (January 31) when a bus hit him in Amritsar, the actor said.

Govinda was jogging with his son on the road near M.K. International Hotel in Ranjit Avenue when a mini-bus hit him after its driver failed to spot him due to the fog.

The driver was able to apply the brakes just in time as the vehicle was about to run over Govinda. He was hit by the bus but was not majorly injured.

Govinda visited the city with his family to pay obeisance at the Golden Temple and is staying at the M.K. International Hotel.

"We had paid obeisance at the Golden Temple yesterday (Friday). Maybe God saved us because of that," Govinda told reporters in this Sikh holy city.

Govinda resumes shooting for Naughty At 40

Putting an end to all the speculation over the future of "Naughty At 40", actor Govinda resumed shooting for director Jagmohan Mundhra's movie this week.

"It was never Govinda's fault that the shooting had halted. We had some production problems which have now been sorted out. Govinda has never been troublesome. For a 3pm shift he arrives at 2.30pm," Mundhra said.

He said it is time the industry realised that they are in the throes of a recession. "Actors within the industry have realised it and are working accordingly. There are reports of how Govinda has been troubling my project 'Naughty At 40'. But the truth is that the project being in trouble has nothing to do with Govinda. On the contrary, he has been unfailingly disciplined and punctual."

The shooting is now taking place in Punjab.

"We shoot for 25 days and the film will be done. The days of stretching a film and its budget are over. Stars now need to cut their prices and give their dates at a stretch. It's the only way to work."
