Sonakshi Sinha In, Zarine Khan Out?

Sonakshi Sinha was born on June 2nd,1987.
She just made her acting debut in the Hindi action film Dabangg, along side her mentor Salman Khan.
Yes, Sonakshi is the new protege of Salman, replacing the Katrina Kaif look a like, Zarine Khan who just debuted in the not so epic Veer, alongside Salman back in January.
Maybe Zarine looked too much like Katrina.

Anyway, as opposed to Veer, Dabangg opened really well with some single screen theatres reporting 100% occupancy, while some multiplexes reported an 80 to 100% occupancy.
It actually beat the record opening day of last years mega hit, 3 Idiots, netting 3.26 million the first day.
So far it has pulled in over 31 million dollars worldwide.

This bodes quite well for Sonakshi, and makes you wonder what will become of Zarine now.

And as for Sonakshi's future, there is a rumor that she has beaten out both Katrina (gasp!) and Deepika Padukone to star opposite Akshay Kumar in Joker!

Shweta Tiwari goes for a makeover

Shweta Tiwari goes for a makeover

Gone are the mile-long sarees and the sindoor and long mangalsutra she sported as Prerna of Kasautii Zindagii Kay.
Enter flat abs, shorts and bikini tops! Ask Shweta if it’s a deliberate attempt to change her image now that she’s on the verge of signing some Bollywood films and she denies it.
“There’s no attempt of that sort at all,” she says, “I have been doing photo shoots like this earlier too but yes, people are not used to seeing me like this.” The actress adds that she loved her character in the soap that made her a familiar face on the small screen but she admits that she does not want to get stuck with an image. “In case I get glam roles in films which are good, I will take them up,” she says.

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.
