UBD's Bollywood-Bytes 18-Feb-2011

Priyanka Chopra
The former Miss World has been rumoured to be joining the star cast of 'Dhoom 3'. Last week we heard that Aamir Khan had been confirmed to be joining the franchise and now Piggy Chops seems to be the front-runner for the new female lead which was last played by Aishwarya Rai, supported by the fabulous Bipasha Basu. Rumour also has it that 'Slumdog Millionaire' star Freida Pinto is in talks for a role in the movie.

Anushka Sharma
She has received universal praise for her role in 'Patiala House' as Simran, starring alongside fellow UBD Dimple Kapadia. The 22-year old actress has signed her next movie. Another Yash Raj Productions like her first 3, it will also star Ranveer Singh. The couple were last seen together in December's hit film 'Band Baaja Baaraat'.






Sushmita Sen
Former Miss Universe has expressed her hopes that India would once again bring home the title she won 17 years ago. The ultimate diva tweeted:  "I so want India to win Miss Universe again. It's a victory long due. I know you feel the same way... All thoughts and ideas are welcome. Let's as a team find that beautiful and intelligent representative from India,". Well it would be nice to find another winner, since the last one was Lara Dutta in 2000.





Katrina Kaif
Has signed a film with Salman Khan. It is set to be produced by Yash Raj Films. Apart from Salman's cameos in Katrina's films in recent years, this will be their first outing together since 2008's 'Yuvvraaj' which bombed at the box office. They previously had hits in 2005 (Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?) and 2007 (Partner).






Rani Mukerji
Our favourite Bong Princess Rani was seen at a recent launch of a womens cricket website. She seems to be doing more self-promotion than ever in her career. I say go for it! She as won over the masses with her latest film 'No One Killed Jessica' so she better rake in all the attention while she can. The 32-year old star is currently working on a new project with Kareena Kapoor and Aamir Khan.





Narmada Ahuja
Govinda's daughter Narmada is aiming for a slimline figure to mark her entry into B-town. "I make sure I eat according to my activities and balance my diet according to the available food. Yoga advocates the need for moderation in food and the tendency to eat healthy to live and not live to eat,".She is yet to sign a film but is getting into shape in preparation. Good on you girl. Rumour has it she was supposed to debut opposite Salman Khan, but he felt uncomfortable as Govinda is one of his closest buddies. And since then the 2 have not been on talking terms.
