The Best Bollywood Item Numbers - Part 6 - Madhuri Dixit

Here is a woman that many Bollywood fans would consider to be a legend...Madhuri Dixit.
Madhuri is not only a legend, she is also a pioneer in the modern trend in Item Numbers.
Even though she doesn't have as many as you might think she would....

1988 - Ek Do Teen - Tezaab
1992 - Dhak Dhak - Beta
1993 - Choli Ke Peeche - Khalnayak

Here is Madhuri in the number that launched modern Item Numbers, Ek Do Teen from the film Tezaab.
This scene was so popular, that afterward, Madhuri was refered to as the "Ek do teen girl" of Bollywood.
The sequence also won the very first Filmfare Best Choreography Award.

The Best Bollywood Item Numbers - Part 5 - Koena Mitra

Bollywood actress and former model Koena Mitra has done her share of Bollywood Item Numbers.

2004 - Saaki Saakhi - Musafir
2007 - Heyy Babyy - Heyy Babyy
2009 - Honey Honey - Ayan

Here is Koena in the number Honey, Honey from the film Ayan.

The Top Bollywood Actress on the Net

I used to do a lot of top tens here, but it seemed to really be pointless.
One lady kept winning over and over and over.
That lady was Katrina Kaif.
But now an "old school" favorite is taking back over, Aishwarya Rai.
Yes Ash finally topped Katrina in searches in March.
Why?
I dont really know.
She did five movies in 2010 (Raavan (Hindi), Raavanan (Tamil), Enthiran (Tamil), Action Replayy (Hindi) and Guzaarish (Hindi)) and not a single film in 2011.
Maybe Kat is finally wearing down...or Ash is getting that "Legend" status.

You know what the sad thing is?
I never really got the whole "most beautiful woman in the world" thing.

The Best Bollywood Item Numbers - Part 2 - Kareena Kapoor

The Best Bollywood Item Numbers - Part 2, Kareena Kapoor
http://bollywoodwomen.blogspot.com/

Another really big Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor has done a few item numbers during her career.

2009 - Marjaani - Billu Barber
2011 - Chammak Challo - Ra.One

Here she is in the musical number Chammak Challo from the film Ra.One with Shahrukh Khan.
The storyline of Ra.One kinda reminds me of The Matrix mixed with Tron, but you wouldnt know it from this dance number....

Bollywood Actresses - Vimala Raman, Sayali Bhagat and Amrita Arora

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.

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.
Some reports say that Sayali was caught off guard by the wedding announcement.
I'm no expert, but I think I would have went with Sayali.

And finally, now you can keep up with the lovely Amrita Arora on her Twitter account here:

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?
