Neha Dhupia "Bollywood Hero" Updates

Back in May I posted an entry about Bollywood actress Neha Dhupia being in an upcoming comedy miniseries titled "Bollywood Hero" for the Independent Film Channel starring Chris Kattan (Corky Romano).
Well from the looks of it, everyone else has caught up and announced it in the past few days...LOL

But the update part of this is that

1. Neha's character will be called "Lalima", and as Neha puts it herself, "My character is overbearing, typical Bollywood heroine who is known more for controversies than her acting skills."
"overbearing, typical Bollywood heroine"...that might not set too well with other Bollywood actresses!

2. The mini series will have cameos by Keanu Reeves and Drew Barrymore.

3. The show will be aired on IFC, an independent film channel from August 6 onwards.

And riding the hopefully good reviews of the mini series, Neha will have six movies coming out, "Paying Guest", "Pappu Can't Dance Sala", "Raftaar","Raat gayi baat gayi", "I'm 24" and "De Dhanadhan".

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.

Riya Sen News

Bollywood actress Riya Sen has raised a few eyebrows lately by saying that she needed to lose weight.
The normally size zero actress says shes gained a few pounds lately.

Despite that, Riya has been named the brand ambassador for the IPL (Indian Premier League) website.

Maybe that will help, because by all accounts, this lovely actresses' career is not going anywhere.
Which is surprising considering she comes from a celebrity family.
Her grandmother Suchitra Sen is one of the greatest Bengali actresses of Bengali films.
Her mother Moon Moon Sen was also an actress.

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?

Tamil and Telugu Actress - Trisha Krishnan

Trisha Krishnan born on 4th May 1983 as Trisha Krishnamurthy in Palakkad, India, is a Tamil-born actress in the Tamil and Telugu film industry. She rose to fame with her roles in Saamy and Ghilli.

Born to Krishnan and Uma Krishnan in Palakkad, the Tamil Iyer actress got her early education from Church Park School and pursued her higher education in Ethiraj College, Chennai. Later, she modelled and won Miss Salem in 1999, Miss Chennai in 1999 and Miss India Miss Beautiful Smile in 2001. In school, she participated in several cultural activities, sports and school band. Trisha is said to be a good ballet dancer. She studied in the same school as former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J.Jayalalitha.

Trisha first made her debut in films when she was offered a small cameo in the film Jodi. However, the first movie in which she signed up to enact the role of the leading lady was Priyadarshan's Leysa Leysa. A string of flops marked the beginning of her career, such as Manasellam,and Alai. However she was well suited for her role opposite Surya in Mounam Pesiyadhe and won critical acclaim.

She then played Vikram's lady love in the mega blockbuster Saamy. The next huge film she took part in followed immediately afterwards, was Ghilli with Vijay, which was a remake of Telugu blockbuster Okkadu.

In 2004, she starred in Varsham in Telugu which went on to become the biggest hit of the year and turned her into an overnight sensation. In 2005, she starred alongside Siddharth Narayan in the telugu flick Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana as the village girl Siri. The movie is about a rich boy, who tries to marry a girl - however her brother opposes. It is directed by Prabhu Deva, was successful at the box office . Trisha quoted that "'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana' is the best entertainer that I have seen in my life" and she won 2 awards for the film which include the Filmfare Award and Nandi Award.

Another film she was called up for was Mani Ratnam's Aayitha Ezhuthu with Siddharth Narayan, Madhavan and Surya, which was the only time she dubbed herself for the film. Her later movies, Ji, Aathi and Aaru did not do well either - though Aaru was received well by critics and both dubbed in Tamil and Telugu and produced by Saran, who had previously directed several successful movies . Her recent Telugu movie, Pournami, directed by Prabhu Deva, was also a flop. However, Something Something ... Unnakum Ennakum, where Trisha acted opposite Jayam Ravi which released in 2006 did well at the box office. Something Something ... Unnakum Ennakum is a remake of the Telugu movie, Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana where she plays the same role again.

Her Telugu film, Stalin with Chiranjeevi which released in 2006 created Indian record by collecting a share of RS. 130.8 million in 5 days. This got another entry for Stalin into the record books for the highest collected so far for any South Indian film in the first 5 days. This film grossed 5.3 crores on its opening day. In the U.S., it collected around 65,500 USD on the opening day. In the first seven days, the film grossed Rs. 17.6 crores worldwide, which was yet another record for South Indian film industry.

Her Telugu film, Sainikudu with Mahesh Babu released on November 30, 2006. There was high expectations in the trade circles from this film especially after the smashing hit Pokiri but this high budget film started off with a below average talk. Despite receiving bad talk from the film trade, the film managed to get a fantastic opening in India and overseas. The movie did very well abroad and is an average grosser.

Trisha also recently replaced Rani Mukherjee as the Brand Ambassador of Fanta India.

Her next release after Sainikudu is Aadavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule where she is cast opposite Venkatesh. This film is Selvaraghavan's first film in Telugu. The film released recently on April 27, 2007. The film is a family entertainer and is receiving good response from the audience especially from the family audience. The collections of the film at the box office has been encouraging.

Her other projects include four Tamil movies, Bheema with Vikram, Kireedam with Ajith, Sathyam and Malaikottai with Vishal. Due to some reasons, Sathyam movie shooting was not started as scheduled so Trisha is supposed to play the female in Malaikottai. Bhoopathy Pandian of Thiruvilayadal Arambam fame will be directing this movie.

Indian Film Actress and Model - Riya Sen

Riya Sen (born Riya Dev Varma in Kolkata, India on January 24, 1981) is an Indian film actress and model. She is often regarded as a sex symbol.

Riya Sen is the grand daughter of Suchitra Sen, a legend in Bengali cinema, and daughter of Moonmoon Sen, a former actress. Before moving to Mumbai, she lived with her parents and sister Raima Sen, also an actress, in Kolkata. Her father Bharat Dev Varma belongs to the illustrious royal family of Tripura. Her paternal grandmother Ila Devi, was the princess of Cooch Behar, whose younger sister Gayatri Devi is the Maharani of Jaipur.

Before entering show business, she studied at Loreto House and Rani Birla College, both in Kolkata, but dropped out of both institutions. She also briefly studied at the National Institute of Fashion Technology. Since her Bollywood debut, she has moved from Kolkata to Juhu in Mumbai.

Many have commented on the strong resemblence between her and her mother, Moonmoon Sen, a sex symbol in her time. However, her sister Raima has a very different image from them both.

Riya Sen first appeared as a child artiste in the film Vishkanya, where she played the role of the young Pooja Bedi. At the age of 15 she was cast in a major role in Bharathiraaja's Tamil film Tajmahal. Her Bollywood film debut was supposed to have been in Love You Hamesha, opposite Akshaye Khanna, but the film was stalled and she ultimately made her debut in N. Chandra's low-budget comedy Style.

Though Style met with success at the box office, most of her other films have not done as well. An exception was Jhankaar Beats, another comedy in which she co-starred with Shayan Munshi, Juhi Chawla, Rahul Bose, Rinke Khanna and Sanjay Suri. Most of her appearances have been item numbers and cameos. Her few leading roles have been in low-budget films

Riya has also appeared in Bengali,Tamil, Telegu, Malayalam and even English films. She was slated to appear in Anjan Dutta's The Bong Connection, with her sister, but was eventually dropped from the project. She was replaced by Peeya Rai Chaudhary. It would have been the second time the two sisters acted together, after director Ajai Sinha's The Bachelor. She has also appeared in a Bangladeshi film, titled Money Porey Tomakey. Her most notable South Indian film to date has been director Santhosh Sivan's Ananthabhadram, which was also the director's first Malayalam venture.

Riya became a popular model when she appeared in numerous music videos for songs by popular singers, including Asha Bhonsle, Falguni Pathak, Jagjit Singh and Sonu Nigam. She was one of many Bollywood stars who appeared in Haath Se Haath Mila an anti-HIV/AIDS music video.

She is also an advertising model. A high point of her modeling career was when she replaced Lisa Ray as the Lakmé Girl, but she has since been replaced by Yana Gupta. Her other notable assignments include Colgate, Limca, Vatika, Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate, and Margarita King.

Riya has appeared on the cover of a number of magazines. In 2004, she was featured partially nude in leading Indian photographer Dabboo Ratnani's annual calendar, which is a major happening in the Indian glamor industry. In Daboo's words, "Her mother saw it much later, after the calendar released. She thought it was too sexy, and Riya shouldn’t have done it. But the response to the photograph was superb. Riya was so thrilled that for her next ad campaign, she asked me to light her up like I did in this." She is the only female face to be featured on the calendar on four consecutive years (2004-2007).

Though the depiction of kissing on screen was (and still is, to some extent) considered inappropriate in India, Riya has regularly shared on-screen kisses with her co-stars (example Siliilay and Style).

Shortly before the release of her film Silsiilay in which she starred with boyfriend Ashmit Patel, a clip was circulated through Multimedia Messaging Services and the Internet, that showed the two in intimate situations. This was one of a number of such scandals that erupted where celebrities were caught in compromising situations using cameraphones. Shortly after this incident, the couple split up. The actress has however denied that it was her in the MMS clip.

She is trained in Kathak ( classical dance form of India) and kickboxing.
During the filming of Shaadi No. 1, she was hit by a motorbike, and supposedly had a near death experience.

Rimi Sen - Bollywood Actress

Rimi Sen, born September 21, 1981 in Kolkata, India, is an Indian actress working in the Bollywood film industry. In an interview with journalist Vickey Lalwani, Sen revealed that she does not use her real name, Shoumitra Sen, "because it is so unusual."

Sen moved to Mumbai to first become a film actress. She was noticed when she auditioned for a Coca-Cola advertisement, impressing Priyadarshan, the director of the ad. Priyadarshan cast her in his hit film Hungama, establishing her in Bollywood.

She then played Amitabh Bachchan's and Hema Malini's granddaughter in the hit film Baghban. Her next big hit was the Yashraj produced Dhoom. Her next releases Phir Hera Pheri and Golmaal have been successful at the box office. Her latest release Dhoom 2, released on November 24, 2006, is another big hit, though she has very little presence in the film.

Rimi is now going by the screen name Rimii. She explains the name change as a career move: there are many other Sens working in Bollywood right now, and a single name may help her stand out from the crowd and stay apart from others.

Glamsham.com interviewed Sen in July 2006 about her work in the movie Golmaal. In the interview Sen said, "I play a sweet and beautiful girl in the film. The best thing that I like about the film is that though it has four heroes, I am the only heroine. Rohit Shetty is amazing as a director. He can make even a black African look pretty."
Ligali, an African British group, condemned her statements and said it showed "how normalized anti-African ideology is within Bollywood and its audiences. It would be unlikely that her racist comments will hinder her career or that of the journalist and media organisation that published this anti-African statement."
Jaspreet Pandohar, Bollywood film critic for BBC Movies Online, said that Sen's comments were "shameful but not entirely surprising. It not only reflects her ignorance of other cultures and belief that black people can’t be naturally beautiful, but also illustrates India and Bollywood’s long-running obsession with fair skin. The sad thing is Rimi probably doesn’t even realise her comments can be construed as offensive and maybe sometimes even racist . It would be practically unheard of a British actor making these kinds of racist comments in the open and to the media. She's currently still in Indian Cinema."
