Deepika Padukone and Bollywood Actresses on Twitter

CNN.com has an article up about the incredible rise of Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone.
I didn't realize her path to stardom was so humble, but in reading this, I think in the future, the life of Deepika might actually make a good film itself.

"After deciding to become a model at the age of 16, she was picked out of a music video by acclaimed director Farah Khan and cast in her next film opposite Shahrukh Khan. "Om Shanti Om" went on to become not only a hit in India, but also gained wider acclaim among western audiences."

I mentioned awhile back about Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat using her Twitter account, but I really had no idea so many Bollywood beauties used Twitter.
Besides Mallika, Aishwarya Rai, Preity Zinta, Bipasha Basu, Madhuri Dixit and Ayesha Takia all have Twitter accounts, among others.
You should be able to find their accounts with a Twtter Search.

Aishwarya Rai News

A lot of people talk about family values, but Aishwarya Rai not only talks the talk, but she walks the walk.
The beautiful Bollywood actress was set to recieve the ‘Officer Dan Ordre Des Arts Et Des Lettres’(officer of the order of arts and letters) from the French government.
But Aishwarya's father was ill and Aishwarya asked the French goverment to post-pone the ceremony until he was well.
She wanted her entire family there for the ceremony.
Now that her father is well enough, she has informed the French authorities to go ahead with it.
To understand the gravity of what Aishwarya did, you have to understand that there is only one higher French civilan honour to receive, the Legion d’honour.
And in 2007, the Officer Dan Ordre Des Arts Et Des Lettres was bestowed upon Shahrukh Khan.

As I mentioned before, Aishwarya will star with Steve Martin in the Pink Panther 2 in 2009. She will play Sonia Solandres, a criminology expert.
She will also star with Abhishek Bachchan in the Hindi language film Raavan, a present day version of the Indian epic Ramayana. Aishwarya will play a contemporary Sita.
Aishwarya will star with Vikram in the movie Ashokavanam, this movie will be a Tamil language version of Raavan shot at the same time. Aishwarya will play the same character in both movies.
