Oddly enough, the man that discovered her, Salman Khan, is Katrina's boyfriend.
This of course stirred up a LOT of Bollywood gossip.
Her debut film was Veer in 2010, a film that unfortunately didn’t do very well, even though she did get nominated for the Zee Cine Awards. Best Female Debut.

Bollywood's Mallika Sherawat Conquers Hollywood

Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat is continuing her assault on Hollywood, and it looks like she's winning.

Friday (August 14) Mallika will be getting an honor that no other Bollywood star has received.
Because of her contributions to the Hollywood film industry and charities, she will be made an honorary citizen of Los Angeles by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
Also in attendance at the ceremony will be the former Mayor Richard Riordan, Council member Jose Huizar and the Los Angeles City Council.

And according to rumors, Mallika is considering getting her body insured the way pro footballer Cristiano Ronaldo got his legs insured.

Mallika made quite a smash at the premiere of Quentin Tarantino's new movie.
Her outfit got as much attention as she did.
And she got quite a lot, talking to not only Tarantino, but Brett Ratner and others as well.
Her dress for the premiere has been pretty much universally slammed by online fashion sources.
Me?
Actually I kinda liked it.
Realize of course I grew up reading comics, and the dress reminded me of the femme fatale/super villainess' from the comics.
When I saw the pic of her and Brett Ratner (who made X-Men: The Last Stand) I thought " If he does another X-Men movie, there's his Black Queen!"

From what I saw, Quentin looked enamored with Mallika.
Could we be seeing her in an upcoming Tarantino movie perhaps?
Maybe we should wait and see how Hisss does first.

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:-)"

Bollywood Women: Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Asin

Shradha Shrama

Production house Spectra Multimedia is working on a project titled "The Secret Life of Kareena" loosley based on the lfe of Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor.
Shradha Shrama was offered the role of Kareena, but turned it down saying that the film's script portrayed Kareena in a negative light.
Not only Kareena by the way, but also Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor are portrayed in the same way.
The character based on Saif Ali Khan is the film's villan!

Kareena Kapoor

How can they get away with a film like that without Kareena's permission and not get sued?
If someone tried that with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, they'd be slammed up against a wall of lawyers so fast it'd make their heads spin!

Priyanka Chopra

And speaking of Shahid, he and girlfriend Priyanka Chopra made a little news when Priyanka refused to kiss him during a scene in the film "Kaminey".
Priyanka doesnt like public displays of affection and wasnt told about the kissing scene in advance.
Director Vishal Bharadwaj didnt push the issue, but explained to her that the scene was intregal to the storyline.
Priyanka understood his point of view and proceded to film the kiss.
"Kaminey" will hit the screens on August 14th.

Asin

After all the sniping you read about between the women of Bollywood, its nice to read about someone that really gets along.
In this case it's Asin and actress Sridevi that are getting close.
Asin and Sridevi live in the same building and the two are often seen together along with Sridevi's two daughters.
Sridevi has has starred in hundreds of Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam language films and been nominated for a ton of awards, so Asin could do a lot worse for a mentor.

Priyanka Chopra - Bollywood Actress

Priyanka Chopra was born on July 18, 1982.
She is a Bollywood film actress and she was Miss World 2000.

Priyanka was born on july 18 1982 in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India to Ashok and Madhu Chopra nee Akhauri, both doctors. Priyanka is very attached to her father.While her father is of Punjabi heritage, her mother is from Bihar, a state in north india. She spent part of her childhood in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. Her family frequently moved since her father was in the Army. She studied at La Martiniere Girls' College in Lucknow, as a young girl and later came to the United States, where she was a student at Newton North High School, in Newton, Massachusetts and John F. Kennedy High School (Cedar Rapids) in Iowa before returning to India to complete high school at Army Public School (Bareilly). She began college at Jai Hind College in Mumbai but left after winning the Miss World pageant. She is now rumoured to be dating Usman Ali, a 21 year old from London

Priyanka was crowned Miss India World and later Miss World in 2000[3]. In the same year, Lara Dutta and Dia Mirza, both from India, won the Miss Universe and Miss Asia Pacific crowns, in a rare triple.

When she won the Miss World crown, she became the fifth Indian woman to win the the title in a span of just seven years. India's Yukta Mookhey had won the same national and international titles in the previous year.

Beauty pageants were banned in her conservative home state of Uttar Pradesh in the year she won the title, and she received death threats as a result.

After winning the Miss World title, Priyanka became an actress. She first acted in a Tamil film Thamizhan (2002) and since then has acted in many Bollywood films. Her first Hindi film was the big budget The Hero: Love Story of a Spy (2003) which was a flop. She became more known from her next film Andaaz (2003) which was a hit, for which she won her first Filmfare Award. Coincidentally, her co-star in that movie was her Miss India compatriot, Lara Dutta.

She then acted in a series of flops until Mujhse Shaadi Karogi in (2004) which was her second hit. She followed it up with Aitraaz, a Hindi remake of the Demi Moore-starrer Disclosure which was yet another box office success. In the same year, she particiated in a world tour aptly titled "Temptations 2004" with Bollywood's leading stars, including Shahrukh Khan, Rani Mukherjee, Saif Ali Khan, Preity Zinta and Arjun Rampal. In cities that she did not appear in, either Celina Jaitley replaced her or it was just the other 5.

In 2005, she had many releases, though most did moderately at the box office. In 2006, she worked in two of the most successful films of the year - Krrish and Don - The Chase Begins Again.

Priyanka Chopra was voted Sexiest Asian Woman of 2006 in Eastern Eye, an Asian newspaper published in Britain.
