The Top Ten Bollywood Actresses Last Month

Amrita Arora, Number One in June.

I haven't done this in awhile, so here is a list of the top ten Bollywood actresses on this blog for June.....

1. Amrita Arora
The beautiful Bollywood actress born in Mumbai, India blew away all the competition and came in at number one.
Amrita has three movies in 2009, Kambakth Ishq (with Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor and Aftab Shivdasani) , Team - The Force and Season's Greetings (with Sohail Khan, Tabu and Shreyas Talpade) .

2. Koena Mitra
Number two on the list is Indian actress and former model Koena Mitra.
The Bengali beauty hasn't had many successes in Bollywood lately, with only Ayan coming out this year.

3. Katrina Kaif
Coming in at number three is the Hong Kong-born British-Indian actress and model, Katrina Kaif.
Katrina not only has 2009 releases (New York, Blue, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, De Dana Dan), but even releases planed into 2010 (Rajneeti and a Padosan Remake) .
And she is one of my personal favorites.

4. Twinkle Khanna
Twinkle was very popular in the 90s in Hindi and Telugu films, and now she is an interior designer (she did the interiors for Rani Mukerji's new house) and co-owner of The White Window store.
Her last film was Love Ke Liye Kuchh Bhi Karega in 2001.

7. Mallika Sherawat
Mallika Sherawat is getting a lot of press for her upcoming movie "Hisss". And a lot of attention on Twitter.

8. Preity Zinta
This honest and outspoken Bollywood beauty has two movies this year, Main Aur Mrs. Khanna and Har Pall.

Bollywood Actress Shilpa Shetty News

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty will be marrying her fiance Raj Kumdra in October of this year, but until then, they are renovating a 5 million pound Surrey home at St George's Hill.
Shilpa seems to be getting into the country life, saying that she can't wait to start raising a family there.

The home isn't the only thing Shilpa and Raj co-own.
They are also co-owners of the Rajasthan Royals, a franchise cricket team that represents the state of Rajasthan in the IPL (Indian Premier League).
Last year, the Royals won the inaugural DLF IPL T-20 Tournament.
Of course Shilpa isn't the only Bollywood celeb to invest in the Twenty20 format of the game.
Shahrukh Khan, Juhi Chawla and Preity Zinta also have interests in the Twenty20 format.

Shilpa also has two movies coming out this year, "The Man" and "The Desire".

Shilpa Shetty in "The Desire"

The Desire is an upcoming India-China joint film venture that has created a lot of publicity for famed Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty.
First, everyone freaked out when it was rumored Shilpa was going to shave her head bald for the role.
A major cosmetic company heard about it and "compelled" her not to do it.
So the bald look was achieved through make up.
Reports say she was all ready to shave off her hair for the role.

Then Shilpa and co star Jaya Prada took lessons in the classical Indian dance form of Odissi. Odissi is one of the eight Indian classical dance forms.

The Desire will star Shilpa, Jaya Prada, Chinese superstar Xia Yu, Anupam Kher, Sachin Khedekar, Sheetal Menon and Nakul Vaid.

Bollywood Actress Shilpa Shetty Hosts Indian Brother

Bollywood Actress Shilpa Shetty Hosts Indian Brother

Shilpa Shetty, a Bollywood actress, will host an Indian version of the reality show “Celebrity Big Brother,” Reuters reported. Ms. Shetty was the unexpected winner of the British program last year after many viewers complained that she had been racially abused on the show. Ms. Shetty’s experience, which was covered extensively in the British press, prompted one sponsor to pull its advertising. In India, where it is called “Bigg Boss,” the program was first shown in 2006.

Top gun Branson puckers up for cheeky smooch with Bollywood actress the Daily Mail:

"Richard Branson sweeps a Bollywood actress off her feet and gives her a cheeky kiss during a promotional show for his telecoms business.
The Virgin airline tycoon stunned former Miss India Neha Dhupia with the move which sent-up actor Richard Gere's ill-advised lunge at Celebrity Big Brother star Shilpa Shetty during a live press conference in New Delhi.
Hollywood star Gere was threatened with court action after grabbing Shilpa Shetty and kissing her on the cheek when they appeared on television together."

Bipasha Basu, Madhuri Dixit, Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai and Shilpa Shetty

Bipasha Basu was recently voted the Sexiest Asian woman by a leading newspaper named Eastern Eye in UK. Madhuri Dixit followed close at number two, Priyanka Chopra at three and Aishwarya Rai and Shilpa Shetty among the top five. Such titles are not new -- Indian screen divas have earned the tag time and again but contrary to popular beliefs, these sexy tags do little to help their acting careers.

Bollywood Actress with the best body?

Actress with the best body?

Shah Rukh Khan may have pumped up a great bod only now, but Bollywood's women have been working hard in the gym for a long time.

That's why we seem to have a new breed of hotties with leaner and fitter bodies. Shilpa Shetty is a case in point. Remember her from the rather plump fashion disaster in Baazigar to the leaner and svelte one in Life In A... Metro?

Indian actress Shilpa Shetty to launch yoga DVD

MUMBAI, India: Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty is filming a yoga DVD and plans to market it overseas later this year, her publicist said Thursday.

The two-hour yoga DVD is currently being filmed by Shetty's production house in southern India's Kerala state, said Dale Bhagwagar, Shetty's spokesman.

"Shilpa practices yoga every day and she believes it should be a way of life for everyone," said Bhagwagar. "Yoga has become a fashion statement in the West, but Shilpa wants to educate people about the original form of yoga, the ashtanga yoga, with the right techniques and breathing exercises."

The well-known Indian actress underwent intensive training this month in preparation to ensure she perfected the "asanas" or postures for the DVD, which will initially be sold in Britain and Dubai.

Shilpa Shetty, the new Bond Girl?

Shilpa Shetty, the new Bond Girl?

Post ‘Big Brother’, there has been really no looking back for Shilpa Shetty. The latest is that the flavour of this season is now leading opinion polls as the first choice for the Bond girl’s role opposite Daniel Craig in a Bond series movie.

It all started after ‘The People’ website in the UK raised the question about whether Shilpa would agree to play the Bond girl’s role, right after she won ‘Big Brother’. Since then there have been opinion polls across the internet and vast discussions on whether Shlpa qualifies for the ultimate glam role or not.

Interestingly thousands of people have actually voted for the dusky beauty and she has topped almost seven of these polls.

Surprisingly Halle Berry who was Bond girl in 2003’s ‘Die another day’ and who replayed the famous ‘Ursula Andress bikini shot from Dr. No’ has come second to the Indian diva.

However there is a downside as well. There are also sections of people taking part in these discussions who have been saying that things aren’t all that rosy and this could also end up as yet another big Bollywood rumour.

After the Aishwarya Rai and Gulshan Grover rumours, now it’s turn for rumours about the latest international celeb from India.
