Some of the hottest divas were out at the launch of Pooja Makhija's 'Nourish' launch event. Raveena looks especially amazing. I am waiting for her to come back with a good role.
Bollywoods brightest divas were all in attendance at Shahrukh Khan's party held in honour of his cricket team. Here are some pics of them arriving at his residence.
After 14 years, 34 films and very few hits in between, actor Sushmita
Sen has decided it’s time for a break. Unlike other stars, Sen, 35, is
pragmatic about her Bollywood career. “You know, I'd love to say I’m
working on something, but that’s not true at all. I’m actually just
pausing because I think I have to pause now. It’s been too many years
and I kind of look at all the work I’ve done, all the flops I’ve
delivered and I have to reassess a little bit,” she says.
There is
one film in the pipeline and she’s hoping the director will announce it
soon. The role, she says, is new to her and she’s a little jittery.
There’s still a spark in her eyes at the thought of films. But doesn’t
her decision to take a break, weigh heavy on her? “Not at all. Acting
has given me a platform most people struggle to have; I got it on a
silver platter. As an actor I have done my work diligently and with as
much dignity as I possibly could, but whether it’s the choice of script
or taste of audience, when you do it regularly you lose that objectivity
and I have lost that objectivity.”
Her focus now is her children
and her companies. “I asked myself, do I really want to do this. With a
baby at home and my companies, the I AM foundation, I have a lot more
that needs my attention right now. It’s time to focus on
them.”
Sushmita Sen on the ramp
The
actor flew into the Capital a few days ago to walk the ramp for
Delhi-based NGO Khushi, which she has been associated with for four
years. She was accompanied by her daughters Renee and Alisah, who sat in
the audience to watch their mum sashay down the runway. “They are my
heart and soul,” she gushes at the mention of her children.
A
proud mommy, she shares how Renee has just completed class 7 with great
grades and how baby Alisah, now a year and seven months old, has picked
up words such as ‘kiss’, ‘up’, ‘walk’. “The words sound like commands,
she’s a little princess who has us wrapped around her little finger. She
can operate any remote control, any gadget without being told what to
do, she’s going to be an engineer,” she says. What about Renee? She
says, “Her only aim in life is to be an actor. I have taken her for some
shoots to show her that it’s not easy, it’s not all fans and looking
pretty, yet, she still wants it!”
Now let's take a look at Sush at her peak in 1999's 'Sirf Tum' in one of the most gorgeous diva moments in Bollywood history: Dilbar!
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.
