Maninee De is very busy!

At a time when almost every second television actress dreams of becoming a leading lady in Bollywood, Maaninee Misra comes as a pleasant surprise.
She minces no words when she says that she has no illusions about herself. "I’m in my early 30s, I have a kid and I’m happily married. I believe I’ve got more than I ever dreamt of," she says. For somebody who never thought that she will become an actress, Maaninee says that it doesn’t matter to her if she does not get to play lead roles, whether in films or on television. "People who play only leads get stuck in the whole business of always wanting to play leads," she reasons.

By P. Sreekumaran

The’ migratory bird’ is homing in, at last. Stumped as to the identity of the person?

Well, it is none other than Mamta Mohandas , who had hopped over to neighbouring Tollywood after making her cinematic debut in Malayalam cinema.

Mamta did attract attention in her maiden film, ‘Mayookham. A realistic movie, directed by veteran Hariharan, saw Ms Mohandas impress with a subdued performance.

Bollywood diva Madhuri named for Padmi Shri

Bollywood diva Madhuri named for Padmi Shri

Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit, who won many hearts with her million-dollar-smile and returned to the silver screen with Aaja Nachle after a five-year hiatus last year, has been named among the Padma Shri awardees this year.

The ravishing actress has several hits to her credit, including Tezaab, Dil, Dil To Pagal Hain and Devdas.

Though her comeback film, after marriage to a US-based doctor and two kids, proved to be a dud at the box office, Madhuri remained unfazed. "I have never been a part of number game and we are not the racing horses who should be numbered. Either the work you do is good or bad. I have come back not because I miss the media archlights or being written about... it's secondary. I missed my craft!" she was quoted as saying.

Bollywood's sexiest singers

Bollywood's sexiest singers

Earlier, a good voice was the only critera to sing playback in the movies. But today, the stress seems to be on looks as well.
Good grooming seems to be as big a requirement as singing well. Reality shows know this well, and make sure their top contestants look better as the rounds progress.

Of course, this sweeps in Bollywood music as well. After all, stage shows are a big part of today's music scene, and even Himesh Reshammiya goes to extremes to cut an image for himself.

Is Rani Mukherjee the new Mrs Chopra?

Is Rani Mukherjee the new Mrs Chopra?

Is Rani Mukherjee married to top producer Aditya Chopra? No-one is saying but my source tells me the alleged couple will make an announcement very soon. This is because Mukherjee’s latest and perhaps last film as a leading lady, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag (A Stain on your Reputation), is released this week. Why is it that in 2007 Bollywood actresses still feel the need to appear single in order to be successful? The key exception of course is the new Mrs Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, who is as busy as ever with her Bollywood and Hollywood projects.
