The Hottest Bollywood Women on the Blog Last Month

Well without a doubt the most loved lady here last month was Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu.
She was well ahead of everyone else.
The only lady that even came close to challenging her for the number one spot was Indian actress Deepika Padukone.
Coming in at number three was Ayesha Takia, and from what I have seen, it seems like there are still a lot of fans out there of her first film, "Taarzan: The Wonder Car".
The gorgeous Amrita Arora came in at fourth place.
Beautiful Parineeti Chopra came in at fifth place.
Bollywood actress and wife of Team India cricketer Harbhajan Singh, Geeta Basra, came in at sixth place.
Telugu, Tamil and Bollywood film actress Tamannaah was seventh.
Indian actress and a former model Aarti Chhabria came in at eighth.
"Dirty Politics" star Mallika Sherawat came in at ninth place.
And finally, Iranian born, Norwegian actress Negar Khan rounded out the top ten.

Bipasha Basu - Model of Fitness

While the lovely Bipasha Basu is still an actress with over fifty movies to her credit, her fitness DVDs are getting a lot of attention as well.
So far she has released three...Love Yourself (2010), Break Free (2011) and Unleash (2014).
Besides her DVDs she also worked with John Abraham on a fitness video called Bollywood Bodies back in 2009.

More Priyanka Chopra and Twitter

With over 22,000 followers, Bollywood beauty Priyanka Chopra is leading the pack as far as female Bollywood Tweeters go.
As of right now, Priyanka Chopra is at 22,873 and I think her closest rival is Mallika Sherawat at 11,448.
Although Mallika's account is verified which is something Priyanka should look into doing!
There are Twitter accounts listed for Bollywood stars like Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, you cant tell if they are real unless they are verified.

Twitter is a great way to keep up with the stars.
For instance Priyanka said a few hours ago....
"Hey ma peeps.. In kuala lumpur for a new commercial.. Hope u guys will end up liking the campaign.. Can't tell u what it is yet but soon..."

And Mallika said...
"Just got bck frm th Long Beach evnt wth mom n dad:)I spok on Bhalf of JagritiCharity,an amazin org helpin women in urgent need.G'nite all:-)"

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.

5. Rani Mukherjee
Rani Mukerji (Mukherjee) has two movies this year (Luck by Chance and Dil Bole Hadippa) and one set for 2010 ( the animated Koochie Koochie Hota Hain).

6. Deepika Padukone
Deepika was recently diagnosed with malaria after becoming ill during a shoot in London. But she'll get better and shooting on Sajid Nadiadwala's Housefull will continue.

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.

9. Shilpa Shetty
The Indian film actress and model has two movies coming out this year, The Man and The Desire.

10. Bipasha Basu
Another Bengali beauty with five movies this year, including her first Hollywood movie co-starring with Billy Zane.

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."

You can read the whole article here.




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.

Bollywood Actress Raveena Tandon News

34 year old Raveena Tandon is looking as good as ever, and starting to show up more too.

The Bollywood actress, producer, and former model showed up recently at a Sunday afternoon Tinker Bell book reading for children at Crossword, Juhu, Mumbai on May 17.
By all accounts the beautiful actress had a great time and so did the kids.
Raveena made sure to pay attention to the kids, sitting and talking to them after she finished the reading.

Also, along with Jaya Bachchan, Suniel Shetty, Ayesha Takia and Urvashi Sharma, Raveena is set to star in the new Bollywood movie by Revathy Varma called Chassni.
Chassni is a remake of the Tamil film June R.

At Karan Johar's 37th birthday party, Raveena showed up with just about every other actor and actress in Bollywood including Kareena Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, Bipasha Basu, John Abraham, Karisma and Shah Rukh Khan among the over 100 guests.

Bollywood Actress Bipasha Basu News

Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu is all over the news these days.

First, she seems to be starting a trend by not wearing make up.
Actually Ameesha Patel started it first, but you know, I wonder how many Hollywood actresses could pull off the no make up look?

And Bipasha is playing Diva again.
At Thursday night's launch of Shiamak Davar's sports wear collection, she was a no show.
Even though Bipasha is the company's brand ambassador and she was in Mumbai.
Rumor has it that she didnt attend because Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan were also invited to the event, so she was afraid she wouldn't get solo media coverage there.
Of course Bipasha's spokesperson denied this.

Bipasha has several movies coming out this year including Aa Dekhen Zara (a romantic sci-fi action thriller movie), Pankh, Lamhaa, Sob Choritro Kalponik and Chaimera.

Here is a video from Aa Dekhen Zara:

Bipasha Basu at the 15th Nokia Star Screen Awards

Bipasha Basu was at the 15th Nokia Star Screen Awards.
But she didn't seem to have a very good time.
She was supposed to do her Lucky Boy act from Bachna Ae Haseeno.
Bipasha was all geared up and ready to go until the Sajid Khan-Ashutosh Gowariker incident delayed the awards ceremony by 20 to 25 minutes.
That threw the whole production behind over an hour, and she was in no mood to go on with the act, so she changed her attire and removed her make up.
The organizers finally got their act together and got Bipasha to agree to take another shot at it.
By then though she was pretty much fed up with everything, but she did get made up again and went on with the show.
By all accounts though it was a less than stellar performance.
But can you really blame her?

Priyanka Chopra News

Priyanka Chopra got the thumbs up for 'Hottest swimwear of the year' from buzz18.com for the gold swimsuit she wore in the movie "Dostana".

And it doesn't stop there.
Priyanka also won the Best Actress Award for ‘Fashion’ at the Nokia 15th Annual Star Screen Awards.

And evidently Priyanka and Katrina Kaif had a few words about who was going to perform the grand finale of Star Screen Awards.
Priyanka wanted to go last, but so did Katrina.
The closing number was called ‘Five Divas’, and had Bipasha Basu , Deepika Padukone , Anushka Sharma , Katrina Kaif and Priyanka all performing.
Katrina won the arguement and got to perform last.
Well what do you expect?
Look up Diva, "a star who is a "diva" is arrogant, difficult to work with, high-maintenance, manipulative, fussy, highly strung, privileged and demanding".
Okay it also means the feminine of the Latin word divus, "god" so "goddess" would work too.
But get five Divas together and what do you think would happen?

Who is the top Bollywood Actress?

India Times has posted a list of the highest paid actresses in Bollywood.
The list goes like this....
Kareena Kapoor
Aishwarya Rai
Katrina Kaif
Deepika Padukone
Bipasha Basu
Priyanka Chopra



Very impressive list.
But I matched that list against the most popular (highest searched) Bollywood actresses and it came out like this.....
Aishwarya Rai
Kareena Kapoor
Katrina Kaif
Deepika Padukone
Priyanka Chopra
Bipasha Basu

The top spot looks like a fairly even battle between Aishwarya Rai and Kareena Kapoor.

So just who is the reigning Queen of Bollywood?

Engaged actresses have limited scope in Bollywood: Bipasha Basu

Engaged actresses have limited scope in Bollywood: Bipasha Basu

Labelling Hindi film industry as "male-dominated", Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu, who has long been associated with actor John Abraham, says engaged actresses have limited scope in the industry.
"There is a limited choice for actresses who are already involved in a relationship," Bipasha said.
"Your personal life has an indirect impact on the offers that come your way. Once you are bonded into any relationship the choice is limited and one has to take right moves," she said. Bipasha alleged that the industry is male dominated.

'I never got a chance to understand Kareena', Bipasha Basu

'I never got a chance to understand Kareena'

While her new found friendship with one time foe Kareena Kapoor remains a mystery for many, actress Bipasha Basu admits that she never got a chance to understand Kareena.
"I never had a chance to understand her but now the awkwardness is gone," the dusky actress said on the sidelines of an event.
Both the actresses were said to have a good time at a recent party organised by Kareena for beau Saif Ali Khan. It is said that both could not see eye to eye during the shooting of Ajnabee, Bipasha's first Bollywood picture.

"Diamonds are a girl's best friend and Gili offers a wide range of diamonds to choose from. I hope this association is amiable and mutually profitable," Bipasha said in a press statement.

Actresses in late 20s should not be made feel old: Bipasha

Actresses in late 20s should not be made feel old: Bipasha:

"Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu today rued the trend of making actresses in their late 20s feel 'old'.
'I agree that Bollywood is a male-centric industry. But, I expect the media to be intelligent. If heroes who are over 40 are paired opposite much younger heroines, it is not talked about,' Bipasha told reporters here 'But if I am romantically paired against heroes two to three years younger than me, a big issue is made out of it. It is really unfortunate,' she said responding to questions on being cast opposite Ranbir Kapoor in 'Bachna Aae Haseeno' and Neil Nitin Mukesh in 'Freeze'."

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.

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.

Bipasha Basu to feature in mobile games

MUMBAI: Mobile gamers and fans of Bipasha Basu have a lot to look forward to. Games publishing company Jump Games on Tuesday announced its two-year, worldwide contract with her to create and distribute a serial of mobile games featuring the glamorous Bollywood actor.

The first game of the series will be titled "Bipasha Basu Jet Ski Champ". In the game Bipasha will be seen as a master Jet Ski rider challenging the world's best to an adrenalin-pumping jet-ski ride across exotic circuits.

Bipasha's fans will be able to play as a character in Jump Games' latest speed fest.

"This is something novel for me and I am looking forward to a fruitful gamming association with Jump Games," said the actor.

"Through these games my fans will get to see the athletic, adventurous and skillful side of me," said Bipasha, who is an avid sports fan.

"It's (the game) a conscious effort to choose my films and related work to bring out my sporty, exploratory persona. Lets hope my fan like it.

"Bipasha is one of the most successful celebrity brands around today and her personality lends wonderfully to games. We are hopeful that the titles created for her will do well," Jump Games CEO Salil Bhargava said.

"Apart from this game, there are two other titles in the pipeline, which will feature Bipasha in completely different avatars. One will be a casual title based on the popular urban sport of bowling. The second title will have Bipasha playing a sci-fi princess all set to save the planet from galactic enemies," Bhargava added.

In India, Jump's games can be accessed and played on networks like Hutch, Idea, BSNL and Reliance World.

Bollywood Acting 101: Looking Away Shyly

VERY good article about "Looking Away Shyly".
Well worth the read.

Bollywood Acting 101: Looking Away Shyly
August 01, 2007
Aditi Nadkarni

The couple is atop a slow moving tonga. O.P Nayyar's music is beating miraculously in sync with the clicking hooves. Now no matter what the hero says, sings, whispers, bellows, mutters, we all know what's coming: the heroine ducks her head, giggles and then just as the camera moves in, her kohl-lined, mascara tinged, eye-liner framed eyes, look up, then down, then up again before she bites her lip and looks away, even more coyly, if that were possible. This is the "Looking Away Shyly" phenomenon that has preserved the virginal, chaste image of Bollywood heroines.

I’m in love with Bipasha Basu: Sienna Miller

I’m in love with Bipasha: Sienna
Asish Samanta
Friday, July 20, 2007 23:59 IST

After Hours spends an exclusive evening with the British actor in Mumbai…

Sienna is a beauty with brains and with a cause! She recently attended a dinner party hosted by the British Deputy High Commissioner Vicki Treadell at the latter’s residence. Here, Sienna, who is representing IIFA and ‘Global Cool’, charmed the guests with her down-to-earth attitude.

She looked her stunning self in a striped floor-length knit gown. Her cutting edge style sense was obvious in the way she had accessorised her outfit. She wore a set of Amrapali earrings and a bracelet that was gifted to her by Bipasha Basu.

“She also gave me a lovely necklace with all the Goddesses in it. I couldn’t wear it all together, else I’ll look like a Christmas tree,” she quipped.

“I will wear that tomorrow though,” added Sienna who couldn’t stop praising Bipasha. “She is an awesome woman. I have never met anyone who is so beautiful, strong-willed, intelligent and well-spoken,” said Sienna. Bipasha got a Cartier ‘love’ bracelet from Sienna in return for her gesture, “I am in love with Bipasha,” laughed Sienna.

The dinner was also attended by Mehr Jessia and her husband Arjun Rampal and Sienna obliged the shutterbugs present by posing for a photo op with the star couple. Sienna was wearing flat sandals she had earlier bought from Linking Road and joked, “I feel so short in front of you two,” and stood on tip-toe to pose for the pictures with a smirk on her face.

A source revealed that unlike earlier reports Sienna had a great time at Salman’s party and was now looking forward to her trip to Café Leopold’s on Saturday, which she has heard a lot about.
