Aishwarya Krishnaraj Rai
Aishwarya Krishnaraj Rai was born on 1 November 1973 in Mangalore. Her father Krishnaraj Rai was a marine engineer and her mother Vrinda Rai is a writer. She has an older brother Aditya Rai who is in the merchant navy. He also happened to co-produce Dil Ka Rishta in 2003, which starred Ash. The family moved to Mumbai where she studied at the Arya Vidya Mandir and later moved to Ruparel College. She was aspiring to study architecture but that did not take off while her career in the glamour industry took off.
Ash won the coveted Miss World crown in 2004. Soon after this she pledged to donate her eyes after her death. She went on to become the brand ambassador for brands like L’Oreal, Pepsi, and Coco Cola. She struck a pose for many international magazines like TIME and was also voted one of the most attractive and influential women by several polls. She is the first Indian actor to be part of the jury at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. She has appeared in The Oprah Winfrey Show, Late Show with David Letterman, and 60 Minutes. She was also the first Indian actress to be replicated in wax at Madame Tussaud’s Museum in London.
She was briefly involved with actors Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi before marrying actor Abhishek Bachchan, son of the iconic Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. They were married in 2007. The couple have acted together in many movies. They were seen in the latest Lux ad and have been roped in to be part of PETA’s Lovebirds campaign.
The Rai Magic
In 2000, her Tamil film Kandukondain Kandukondain, saw a good turnout. She took on the role of Shirley, Shahrukh Khan’s sister in Josh and then played his love interest in Mohabbatein which won her a nomination for the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award. In Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai, she played Preeti Virat, a rape victim and was considered for the Filmfare Best Actress Award. The year 2001 was a quiet year for Ash.
The year 2004 saw Ash in her first English film, Gurinder Chaddha’s Bride & Prejudice, an adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice. Her performance as Neerja in Rituparno Ghosh’s Raincoat was praised. This was followed by her second English film in 2005, The Mistress of Spices, with Dylan McDermott of The Practice fame. Her dance sequence Kajra Re from Bunty Aur Babli became one of the most popular tunes of the year.
She had two films out in 2006. Umrao Jaan with Abhishek Bachchan failed to do well while Dhoom 2 where she played Sunehri and shared a ‘controversial’ liplock with Hrithik Roshan was a big hit. In 2007, she played Sujata opposite Abhishek Bachchan in Guru, based on the industrialist Dhirubhai Ambani and it was successful. Provoked, which was based on a real episode of domestic violence, won critical acclaim. The other English film, The Last Legion, did not do so well.
Jodhaa Akbar, released in 2008, in which she acted the part of Jodhaa Bai with Hrithik Roshan was average. The sequel to Sarkar, Ram Gopal Varma’s Sarkar Raj, in which she plays a CEO alongside Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan, is said to be one of her best performances till date.
In 2009, Rai looked her gorgeous self in The Pink Panther 2 with Steve Martin.
Going Strong
She was also busy shooting for Mani Ratnam’s Raavan with Abhishek Bachchan and Endhiran with Rajnikanth in 2009. Both movies will be released in 2010 along with Action Replay with Akshay Kumar and Guzaarish, in which she will play Hrithik Roshan’s nurse.

Actress Kareena Kapoor refused to give dates for her beau Saif Ali Khan’s home production, Agent Vinod, as she had already committed all her dates for Reema Kagti’s film, opposite Amir Khan

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor |
Bollywood diva Kareena Kapoor has decided to shoot for Aamir Khan’s film rather than finishing boyfriend Saif Ali Khan’s Agent Vinod, which is running behind schedule. The actress is busy until the end of June, although she still has some important action sequences to shoot for Agent Vinod. This forced the Agent Vinodteam to put the film’s shooting on hold.
A source tells us, “Kareena has allotted her dates in April, May and June to Reema Kagti’s film, with Aamir Khan and Rani Mukherjee. Despite the fact that Agent Vinod has been delayed many times over for various reasons and now is in its last stage of production.” The source further added, “Most of the shooting is over. But there are still songs and sequences that require VFX. And yes, a schedule with Kareena is pending. But she’s busy with another film. So, we’ll just have to wait.”
When one wonders why she didn’t give priority toAgent Vinod over Kagti’s film, Sriram Raghavan (director of Agent Vinod) quickly rises to his leading lady’s defense, “She was committed to the other film from some time. But that’s okay. Saif and I will be busy with other scenes until she becomes free. I also have a couple of visual-effects scenes to put into place.”
Well Bebo! We appreciate your professionalism and the fact that you don’t seem to believe in the school of favoritism, poor Saif!

Mumbai Based Bong Model Bindu Chowdhury
Bindu Chowdhury(5 ft 5 in, 36-26-36), perhaps not many will remembers this name. However, two years ago, this pretty Bengali babe made a name for herself by winning the controversial and Ekta Kapoor’s first reality show ‘Kaun Jeetega Bollywood Ka Ticket’. Naman Shaw was her partner in this dance reality show. As the title suggested, the winning jodi was to be cast together in film produced by Sunil Shetty’s Popkorn Entertainment. Unfortunately, equation between Balaji Telefilms and Popkorn soured. Low TRPs and recession has forced 9X to shut down its activities. As a result, poor Bindu’s dreams were shattered. Naman at least had TV to look up to, but Bindu had to settle for modeling assignments.
This long wait is over as Bindu has finally bagged not one but two films. The first one is a low-budget film called Bloody D. The plot is similar to that of the international horror flick Saw. The other film is directed by actress Mandakani’s husband.

The film went on to become one of the biggest hits of the year.Since then, Sherawat has been known for her courage to express her opinions in public, as well as because of the reaction to some of her statements.

She also made news when she won a small role in a Jackie Chan movie, The Myth; she made a widely publicized appearance at the Cannes Film Festival to promote The Myth.However, her performance in the 2006 film Pyaar Ke Side Effects co-starring Rahul Bose won her praise from around the industry, and the film also garnered decent collections at the box office becoming a moderate success.

She is now beginning to work in the Kollywood (Tamil) film industry as well after her item number in a Kannada film. Her debut was Dasavathaaram, starring Kamal Haasan, Asin, and Jayapradha, in which she plays one of the lead antagonists.Her first 2007 release was Himesh Reshammiya's Aap Ka Suroor - The Real Love Story, where she played a "vampish role".

Rani Mukerji stretches it

Mumbai: Wonder how Rani Mukerji got to shed all those kilos before stepping in front of the camera for her film Dil Bole Hadippa? Regular yoga sessions and a carefully manipulated weight training programme seem to have done the trick.
Sources say that it took Rani over a year to knock off about 10 kilos that was making her look a little bloated in front of the camera. Rani had hired a team of experts to get into her new slim avatar which included fitness instructor Satyajit Churasia and yoga teacher Payal Gidwani.
Satyajit Chaurasia is the celebrity trainer who was the brain and hands behind Aamir Khan's six-pack figure in Ghajini.
Says Satyajit, "Rani has been working out (with me) for a long time now. But it was in April last year that she decided to tone up and lose the flab. Thus, we devised a combination of cardio and weight training for Rani. She walks on the treadmill for 45 minutes and does weight training for 30 minutes for five days a week."
But that was not all, there were some rigorous sessions of workout as well. "Rani also did as many as 300 to 500 stomach crunches everyday. And the session would end with stretching exercises. Rani is a very diligent person. The progress might be slow but due to her extra care about her exercising regime, she lost a lot of inches around her waist."
As for Payal Gidwani, she has been previously famous for Kareena's controversial size zero look for the film Tashan.
She reveals, "When I initially started teaching yoga to Rani, it was tough. She had no stamina and there were problems with her nerves, so she would often get cramps. Thus, I conjured up a two hour regime for her that included 45 minutes of walking and one hour 15 minutes of yoga. Slowly, her body began to showresults and we stuck to our schedule. There was no need tointroduce power yoga as the desired results were visible. Rani now enjoys yoga a lot."
Workout regime:
Treadmill: 45 minutes
Weight training: 30 mins (5 days/week)
Stomach Crunches: 300-500
Walking: 45 minutes
Yoga: 75 minutes

Sexy & stylish

Aishwarya Rai
The elegance personified actress never fails to look her best, be it sari or any other outfit. This golden color sari adds glamour to her persona.

Here Shilpa looks like a new bride. This red color sari, her make up, hair and sindoor gives her a perfect bridal look.

Katrina's hardly seen in sari yet it's a pleasure to see this beautiful actress like this. She is looking beautiful in this blue sari. Her long earrings and curly locks add a lot to her beauty.

She wore such transparent saris in most of her films. Rani looks a perfect Indian beauty in Sari.

We like her selection of saris. Pink is one of her favorite colors. The Pink Panther actress is at her prettiest best here.

Shilpa looks extremely sensuous in this green sari. Apart from her perfect body, her make up and accessories add oomph to her personality.

Riya the seductress



Seems like this Bong bombshell is going to set the screen on fire soon. We guess she has had enough of the de-glam image while shooting for Ritparno Ghosh’s Bengali film. It’s time to return to reality and get into those glam shoes all over again, Riya.

Riya Sen, who is going deglam these days, is trying to assure people that she can act too! Having bagged a role in Rituparna Ghosh’s film Nauka Dubi, Riya says this movie is special to her for numerous reasons. To begin with, she gets to share screen space with sis Raima.
