is pooja batra supposed to be in here ?

hi! pooja this is vijay from U.S

she will be in a while , boss

those who live in Bombay/India: What has the reaction been regarding Border out there. Is it a hot topic for conversation?

aur ab.....anil kapoor...asli ya nakli? :)..ha..ha..ha.....

Hey Beast...what makes you think Pooja is your beauty???

pooja has become like the trains in India. First they announce she is 10 minutes late (knowing she's 30) and she just becomes more late and they announce she is 30 minutes late (knowing she's ????minutes late).

ya most people think border is cool

Abe ghar pe baithke kya kar rahi hain!!!

anurag.. didn't you chat with J P Dutta two weeks back on the rediff chat? he was here and his film is doing well..

ya guruji but after that she makes a lot of people happy.

guruji where r u from

Judaii Judaii Yeh Judaii hi ho rahi hain!!!

REDIFF: Yes I chatted with him and it was fun, but I wanted the reaction of the people. I'm sure it's different than that of the director. I know the movie is doing well but I just wanted to know how people in India are reacting to it. How about you (REDIFF) what are your impressions of the movie?

Give me a time rediff, a specific time please.

pooooooooooooooooja ..

well critics also feel its a good movie but has an overdose of patriotism.

What ????? Is she still not arrived - my god I had to rush with my work at home to be here and I thought I will miss `Miss Batra' REDIFF NOT FAIR !!

aati nahi.....aati nahin...yeh kya ho raha hai yaar?

Sorry, everybody. We are in constant contact with Pooja Batra. She says that she will be here in a 30 minutes. It's really not our fault. We are trying to make the best of the situation.

TO THE PERSON MASQUERADING AS REDIFF... IF YOU HAD THE LEAST SENSE OF INTEGRITY, YOU WOULDN'T DELIBERATELY COME ON A NEWS TYPE SITE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A PROBLEM WE ARE HAVING BY POSTING SUCH STUFF. THEN AGAIN, IF YOU HAD ANY INTEGRITY, WHY WOULD WE HAVE TO EVEN TELL YOU THIS?

Yes Surekha. We're in Bombay

the place looks like waiting for the big star, while the extras perform... sab ko mera salaam... pooja ke intezaar mein...

Hi guys, time's up I'm here

Hey Beast, lagta hai aapko aur intezar karna padega...your beauty's gonna come after 2 damn hours!

OKAY we are waiting 4 ur BEAUTY so till then tere's a song 4 u guys out there ..... Another day has gone, I'm still all alone... How could this be??? You're not here with me... You never said goodbye, Someone tell me why??? Did you have to go And leave my world so cold... Everyday I sit and ask myself ... How did love slip away, Something whispers in my ear and says... That you are not alone For I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay, You are not alone I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart... You are not alone...

Rediff - if its `THE' Anil Kapoor on line then chalo usi se baat kar lete hain !!

sharky ...saach bol raha hai? ya time 23:00 tak shift kar diya gaya hai?...authentic info do yaar!!!!

Pooja is here and we will be starting the chat within 5 minutes. Enjoy.

alors, is that pooja batra, or another ghost masquerading around...

Rediff: Is it possible to change your type to bold or a different color when you type this way everyone will know its you and no one will be able to pretend to be you

Hey Pooja am I glad to see you're here or what??? So howz it goin'???

POOOOOJA - How mean can you get by making us wait for so long - anyway welcome madam - how do you find your Virasat success ?

BEAST is from Delhi actually but is in Sydney at the moment DrRATNA

Good evening Pooja. Are you wet?

hi pooja!!! let me the millionth guy to tell you...u are gorgeous...was dragged to see Virasat. Had no regrets in the end!!!

Abhe Ghar pe so rahi hain aur hero logon ko wait karva rahi hain!!!

Okay, folks, we are very sorry for the delay... but then, Pooja Batra is here and I am sure you will find, as we do, that she is well worth the wait... so hey, say hello and go ahead with the questions! Pooja, welcome to the Rediff Guest Chat from all of us here...

Surekha: I'm not mean I just got stuck in Bombay traffic. It feels good after the film did well. Sorry for the wait. Chao

Is html permitted in here?

Hi Pooja! Why so late ? We have spent hours waiting for you!

Ok guys. Time to own up. All the talking done by REDIFF is actually me and 2 other friends sitting next to me. So, actually no one knows the position. That includes all the REDIFFS.

Pooja is ANil Kappor shorter than you?

Hi Pooja

Hello pooja, I am a great fan of you. I like your latest movie VIRASAT. What difference do you feel in this medium other than modelling in which you were earlier.

Vikram: I hope you are not dragged to see my other films Vikram. Thanks a lot for the compliment.

Abhe Ghar pe so rahi hain aur hero logon ko wait karva rahi hain!!!

Pooja, Where do you live in Mumbai?

HOW DO WE KNOW SHE'S THE REAL THING?

Tom: Films are tougher than modelling. Money is better. Thats the only difference. Bingo

Hello from france. Pooja, Haven't seen Virasat, but sure have seen you. must say, a worthy addition to Bollywood. -:)

Will nudity expose you to the awards night? Comments.

Jaggu: No. What made you feel so?

Pooja you looked STUNNING in Virasat, but don't you think you are a bit to tall for Hindi films, hardly any hero out here is very tall, even Anil Kapoor and you were almost equal in heights and if I am not mistaken you were not even wearing heels?

Helloooo Pooja.... and the rest of the common people out there!

Pooja, tell us about Shock adikuthu sona, your appearance in a song from a Tamil film Aasai.

Pooja, You mean to say that you don't get money in modelling?

Ranjita: It was a good peppy song so I did it. Did you like it?

is my BEAUTY here??? If yes reply me back... *waiting*

Pooja are u coming to States in the near future!!!

Pooja, the recent article on rediff about tall actresses and short heroes talks of instances where heroes were jacked up on special shoes etc.. had any similar experiences?

Tom: We do get money in modelling but it's not good enough. Plus there is no money in the market right now.

Pooja: How did you manage to bag the role of Virasat?

Where are you from in Pune and are you related to Sudhir Batra

Pooja: Was there any difference beteween your role in the first half and second half ? Was someone else dubbing for you ? (well you definitely looked good in teh second half in your Sari! :-))

Hello Pooja, I am from Bangalore. I liked your performance in VIRASAT. Which are your forthcoming films?

Pooja: Could you tell us what is your education background??

Khopdi: Nope not so far, but I'm hoping to work with short actors so I'll tell you about their shoes later on.

I saw Virasat. It was actually different from the rest of the movies.

Hey Pooja! Which uear did you participate in Miss India? By any chance are you from Delhi?

hi!pooja and other friends, this is vicky from U.S,i am very much happy to see u in rediff

Hello Pooja , which movie are you going to do next ? And with whom ?

Hey Pooja! You acted in Tamil films too? great. How was the experience compared to Bollywood

Pooja, you did that Lyril ad and if i remember it correctly that was a long time ago. So how old are you now. And also, could you give us your other vital statistics like height, weight and figure.

Ameen: B.A in Economics from Fegusson , Pune, MBA in marketing (correspondence) from Symbiosis Pune.

I must say this. You look....well how do i say this.......IF LOOKS COULD KILL, THEN I WOULD BE DEAD BY NOW

Delhi-ite: I did not act in a Tamil film, merely did a guest appearance in one Tamil film, But I have finished a Malyalam film called Chandralekha with Mohanlal.

Hello everyone!!!!

REDIFF: Is Pooja really here or is this someone just pretending to be her?

so how much time was spent at Vaishalis in Pune - what year were you in Ferguson?

Viraasat script was lifted from a Tamil movie. Have you done original Bollywoodies?

Pooja: Any forthcoming movies of yours ?

hey pooja! you have an MBA!!..but you look so dumb!!

hey pooja, can u tell how women are attracted to men

Pooja: How do you spend your time when you are not shooting?

Hey Pooja, have you ever posed in the nude?

Pooja..well..it was just a check...I liked your performance in Viraasat...keep it up...

Pooja - what is your next moie and with whom ?

Delhi-ite: Thanks. Yes Boss: My next release is Bhai with Sunil Shetty, and Sonali Bendre, probably in August end, then there is Shyam Ghanshyam, Vishwavidatta, Saazish, Hum Tum,all under production.

Is this really Pooja Batra? I saw a person logged on with this name 30 minutes ago.

Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer, she's a juvenile scam. Never was a quitter, tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look... Heavenly bound cause heaven's got a number when she's spinning me around, kissing is a colour. Her loving is a wild dog, she's got the look... She's got the look... She's got the look... What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue. When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you and I go: la la la la la SHE'S GOT THE LOOKS

Poojaji, u looked ravishing in Virasat... Are u acting in any more films with Anil Kapoor... u two looked great together

hi pooja !was your dad in the army,posted in poona. i'm a really big fan of your's

Pooja: What made you go into acting from modelling ? (BTW, Is this the REAL Pooja Batra?)

Delhi-ie: Reading, eating, films, fighting and listening to music I guess.

Pooja are u originally from Delhi!!!

Pooja, you haven't answered me. How did you get the Mani Ratnam's home production Aasai, though it's just one-song appearance. Wish the song had made it like Sonali's Humma Humma. Pity.. Tell us about your experience doing the song with Prabhu Deva's brother...

Pooja : Dont you think you got probably half the role you deserved in Virasat

Pooja, how much did you get paid to do Virasat? Is it money that prompted you to switch to acting from modelling?

Pooja, I guess You have been Miss India in past. What made you to switch to films?

Anjali: Yes my dad is in the army and was posted in Pune, and I really need fans like you. Thanks a lot.

where do you want to be 10 years from now?

wow .. !! so many movies .. u acting as a lead role in any ?

hey pooja, at least ur not telling hi! I'am speaking to you from a such a long distance.

Pooja: How abt sending me an autographed snap of yours?

Pooja: who dubbed for you in Virasat. She was not very good. You need to find someone better. Better yet, you should dub your own voice.

hi pooja who is your favourite actor

WHAT'S UR B-DATE .... POOJA ji

Tom: Yes I was Miss India 3, in 1993 I modelled for three-and-a-half years and I guess I was a little bored after all those years and I wanted to do something constructive. So the switchover.

Hey Pooja how tall are you? and do you think Shettys are sexy?

Pooja: Are u gonna be in US anytime? How abt meeting your fans (like me)?

Beast: 27th October and the years for you to guess.

I don't mean to be mean... but the audience was chuckling when you were speaking English in Virasat here (in New York). The accent wasn't really right for someone coming from London. Though, I really liked your role in the movie.

EVEN I NEED UR autographer snap ..... POOJA

Pooja: You didnt answer me. Did someone else dub for you in the second half of Viraasat ?
