“You have to understand that she’s an individual and you can’t judge the entire community on the basis of one person’s behaviour. You shouldn’t even judge Pakistan through me. The whole Pakistan is not like Ali Zafar or Veena Malik,” Ali told IANS.

“And such individuals are there in very entertainment industry. In India also there are women who ride on controversies. It happens everywhere. It happens even in Hollywood,” he added.

Veena came to limelight after her link up with tainted Pakistani bowler Mohammad Asif. She rose to fame in India after appearing in the fourth season of controversial reality show “Bigg Boss”.

Ever since she has been making headlines for her alleged link up with her “Bigg Boss” inmate, actor Ashmit Patel, or her sudden disappearance while shooting for the Bollywood movie “Mumbai 125 kilometres”.

Ali says he makes sure he doesn’t do anything that gives a bad name to his country.

“I pay all my taxes. I make sure all paper work is in place and streamlined. I want to work in a manner so that I stay away from controversies,” he said.

“Whatever films I do, I make sure that I don’t do scenes or say dialogues or do stuff that could hurt people back home. In my capacity, I try and keep everyone happy but that’s just me. Everybody has their own style of working,” he added.

For Ali, being controversial is not the best method to boost one’s career.

“It’s unfortunate…I think one should avoid controversies as long as possible, they may help you in the short run, but I don’t think those who are talented need controversies to boost their career,” he said.

“It’s always good to stay away so that you can work smoothly. You try to stay away from trouble for your own sake and for the sake of other people. I think anybody who comes from there (Pakistan) to here (India) should be cautious and conscious, otherwise it puts others into bad light,” he added.

After making a name in his home country with his albums, Ali forayed into Bollywood with debutant director Abhishek Sharma’s “Tere Bin Laden” (2010), which won him critical acclaim from all over.

He was later seen in Yash Raj’s “Mere Brother Ki Dulhan” and right now he is looking forward to the release of his new Hindi film “London Paris New York”, which hits the silver screen March 2.

“Madame Tussauds unveiling on March 7, 2012. See you then,” tweeted Madhuri, who has moved here from Denver to play a new innings in Bollywood.

Known for her natural acting talent and graceful dancing, the 44-year-old is the latest Indian film star to join the A-list line up at the Madame Tussauds wax museum, which also houses statues of Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan.

Madhuri’s wax statue has reportedly cost 150,000 pounds and it was completed in four months by a team of sculptors and experts in hair, makeup and wardrobe.

The actress is remembered for her performances in “Tezaab”, “Ram Lakhan”, “Sajan”, “Beta”, “Dil”, “Hum Aapke Hain Koun!”, “Dil Toh Pagal Hai” and “Devdas”.

After playing a successful long innings and reigning filmdom, she bowed out of Bollywood in 2002 when she married US-based doctor Shriram Madhav Nene. Post-marriage, the actress moved to Denver and got busy with her husband and later two sons.

After marriage, her only release was “Aaja Nachle”, but it didn’t do well at the box office, however, the dancing queen struck the right chord with her fans when she appeared on the small screen as the judge of dance reality show “Jhalak Dikkhla Jaa 5″.

She is currently working on her official website and plans to launch it soon.

“Most journalists have an exam sheet which comprises – what is your favourite colour, your favourite holiday destination, what you like to do in your free time. This is not an interview, this is a questionnaire. I feel to make a good interview, be it print, radio or TV, it has to be a conversation. Fifty percent of the job is yours, half the job is mine. That is how you make a good interview,” the 29-year-old said here at an event.

The actor revealed if ever given an opportunity, he would love to interview actor Salman Khan who, according to him, rarely opens up.

Kareena made her debut in 2000 with “Refugee”, while Imran stepped under the arclights in 2008 with “Janne Tu…Ya Jaane Na”.

“You are not kind of tip-toeing around and worrying that she has this ego, you can work with her like an equal and that is the best thing about her. I have always believed when you are comfortable and happy working with your co-actor, your performances improve,” said Imran.

“Ek Main aur Ekk Tu” is set for a Feb 10 release.

Imran, 29, says Kareena, 31, is aware that she is a good actress and her confdience kept the atmosphere light on the sets.

“Kareena comes on the sets with this thing of ‘lets do work’. She doesn’t have time to waste on things like, which angle you are shooting me from, my costume, hair, make-up is like this and all. She is utterly unconcerned about this stuff. She is a good actress, she knows it and she has that security and confidence to just do her work,” said the 29-year-old.

Meanwhile, Imran also brushes aside issues of any major age difference between him and Kareena.
