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.

Deepika Padukone - Bollywood Actresses

You know until I had a poll on one of my Hubs at HubPages, I never realized just how popular Deepika Padukone was.
When they found out there was a poll, her fans flocked to her defense easing her up over Katrina Kaif.
But not by a whole lot....evidently Kat has a lot of fans too.

Deepika was actually not born in India but in Copenhagen, Denmark...but her family moved to India when she was a year old.
So she might as well been born in India.

She made her big screen debut in the 2006 Kannada film, "Aishwarya" and has gone on to appear in close to thirty films.

Katrina Kaif, Dimple Kapadia and Shreya Ghoshal

The 55th Idea Filmfare Awards 2009 will be held in Mumbai on February 27, and since the focus of this blog is on Bollywood women, here are the actresses that are nominated....

So who is gonna win?

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

The Bengali beauty hasn't had many successes in Bollywood lately, with only Ayan coming out this year.

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.

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.

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.

Deepika Padukone in Chandni Chowk to China

source: http://www.desihouston.net/

Chandni Chowk to China may have not done very well at the box office in India, but the film has netted Deepika Padukone a lot of good press in China.
Deepika has been nominated for Best Actress at the 33rd Hong Kong International Film Festival.
She is the first Indian actress to ever get this honor.

Chandni Chowk to China starred Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles with Hindi cinema veteran Mithun Chakraborty and Hong Kong action cinema veteran Gordon Liu in supporting roles.
The film was shot in China and in Bangkok, Thailand and it was distributed in the U.S. and co-produced by Warner Bros.
It was Warner Bros. first Hindi film.

The film got negative reviews by critics, but what struck me as unusual was that the fim was reviewed in the US by USA Today, Newsday, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Entertainment Weekly and the Chicago Tribune.
To me this testifies to the widening appeal of Bollywood films.

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?

Bollywood Actress Deepika Padukone's Birthday

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

Very impressive list.
But I matched that list against the most popular (highest searched) Bollywood actresses and it came out like this.....
Aishwarya Rai

Bipasha Basu

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

Women at War

Women at War

Priyanka Chopra is honing her skills in martial arts for her roles in Love Story 2050 and Drona; Aishwarya Bachchan is learning the art of sword play for Jodhaa Akbar; and Deepika Padukone is practising hard on her breath-taking stunts for Made in China.

The leading ladies of Bollywood are flexing their muscles with a newfound excitement to usher in the New Year with loads of action in their forthcoming films. So, does that mean it is a new phase heralding the advent of action heroines in Hindi cinema? According to filmmaker Junaid Memon, it is a trend which is getting increasingly popular, and is reminiscent of old Hindi films like Fearless Nadia. Says he, “It’s good that directors and producers are working on action-packed women-oriented scripts. They have realised that today’s female actors are not mere glam dolls, and that they can do much more. It shows that a female actor, too, can carry an action film on her shoulders.”
