Indian film actress and model and a trained Bharatanatyam dancer Vimala Raman will be making her Bollywood debut in Ambapali, a remake of the 1966 film starring Vyjayanthimala Bali and Sunil Dutt.
Vimala has gotten rave reviews for her work in Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada films.
The film will be directed by Ashutosh Gowariker and possibly Salman Khanwill take up the Sunil Dutt role.

Indian tennis player Sania Mirza will be marrying ex-captain of the Pakistan cricket team, Shoaib Malik in April, leaving Shoaib's ex-girlfiend, Indian actress and former Miss India Sayali Bhagat out in the cold.

Bollywood Actress Katrina Kaif, The Good and The Bad

While Mallika Sherawat seems to be conquering Hollywood, Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif seems to be conquering everything else.
Katrina has been honored with the Rajiv Gandhi Award under the Best Actress category in Hindi cinema.
Katrina is also being listed as the most "Googled" actress in Bollywood cinema and she was voted "The Sexiest Woman in India" by FHM.

But despite all that, everything isn't coming up roses for Katrina.
Actor Jackie Shroff’s wife, Ayesha Shroff has come forth and announced that Katrina Kaif's real name is Katrina Turquotte.
Katrina has always maintained that her Kaif surname was due to her Kashmiri father, but Ayesha says that the name on Katrina's passport when she came to India was Katrina Turquotte.

StarBoxOffice.com has more info on this including....
“She used to work to support her huge family and she didn’t have a very respectable job in London. Kaizad Gustad picked up the very attractive lass off the streets of London. The makers of Boom concocted the Kashmir father-Brit mother story so that Indian audiences would accept her."
You can read the full write up here

Now the question is, is Katrina really Indian at all?

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.

And she is one of my personal favorites.

Sushmita Sen and "Do Not Disturb"

The actresses in Bollywood must really be competitive.
I keep reading about their Diva like behavior and catty remarks to other actresses.
And they seem to be threatened very easily.
Even actresses that are famous for getting along with other stars are affected.
Case in point.....

"Inside sources from Do Knot Disturb claim Sushmita Sen is having sleepless nights over her role in her upcoming David Dhawan comedy Do Knot Disturb. It is a multi star cast film starring Govinda, Lara Dutta, Ritesh Deshmukh and Sohail Khan along with her.
Our sources reveal, “The film for the first time brings together two former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen and Lara Dutta. But Sush is not really insecure about her role being shortened as compared to a much younger and hotter Lara."

Full article here

Of course it's not just Sushmita.
If you read this blog you've seen several similar stories about other Bollywood stars.

But it appears their fears are not unfounded.
Just recently Pantene ended a long relationship with Sushmita in favor of South Indian actress Asin.

Besides "Do Not Disturb", Sushmita is working on a Tamil film "Marmayogi" this year.

Manisha Koirala Comback

Manisha Koirala was born on August 16, 1970 in Kathmandu, Nepal.
She is a Nepali actress who works in Indian films, although she has appeared in a number of Tamil films.
Manisha is also an accomplished Bharatnatyam and Manipuri dancer.

After being out of the spotlight for awhile, Manisha is trying for a comeback in Bollywood.
She is making the rounds, and she got some good press when designer Maheka Mirpuri announced at the unveiling of her new fashion collection ‘Pure Optimism’, that Manisha had been her "muse".

And this year she will be appearing in Deepti Naval's "Do Paise Ki Dhoop, Char Aane Ki Barish", Jahnu Barua's new movie and Mani Ratnam's "Raavan" (set for release in 2010).

Will Item Dancer Preity Pose Threat To Rakhi?

Will Item Dancer Preity Pose Threat To Rakhi?

Bollywood is changing too fast. There was a time when very few girls were ready to do item numbers and those who did such a job would like to come out of this image. However, there is a revolution-taking place in the industry. Rakhi Swant was known as an item song girl, and was kept away from doing heroic roles. Now, every Bollywood actress is proud of her item number and shoots to fame on that count. Name a top actress and she is named after her item number whether it's Aishwarya Rai, Bipasha Basu, Urmila Matondkar, Kareena Kapoor or the Queen B Madhuri Dixit.
