THEY are hep and happening. Queens of the soap and role models to millions of young girls. Over the past more than a year, the small picture tube has been virtually invaded by a new set of young ladies who are setting new fashion styles and social trends.
These young new divas have not just elbowed out the well-known ones but have made them look like the generation past. Much of the credit must go to, who else? Ekta Kapoor, who has introduced a slew of new ladies who have cast a spell on the Indian audience. Stars who were nobodies till a year or so ago but are top of the pops today.
The good wife is always in a designer saree, complete with sindoor and mangalsutra. But the fiance can wear jeans and a sleeveless or noodles top. At least that is what the small screen seems to be preaching.
1.Shweta Tiwari
She is leading the band is who has attained heady stardom with her role in Kasautii Zindagi Kay. I would say she is bold, good looking ,tall and has immense screen presence. She can dance well and act too and her dialogue deliverance is quite spontaneous. She has all qualities for the leading heroine in Hindi films.
2. Prachi Desai
If purity needed a synonym in today’s Indian television industry, Prachi Desai would be the top challenger. The 17-year-old actress did wonders with her portrayal of Bani in Kasamh Se and is the undisputed number one actress of 2007. Not only did she elevate the character to a new level, but she also became one of the most popular faces in the industry. Desai is Ekta Kapoor’s latest blue-eyed-girl and there is a lot more expected from her in the years to come.
3. Divyanaga
She is a beauty, pretty and lovely in herself, although I am not watching any of her serials but in between when IÂ see her in Saas Bahu aur Sajish, I have become a fan of her. Recently she won best actress award. She embodies innocence in her looks.
4.Pravina
I dont know her off screen name, but she does a fabulous job in Baa Bahu aur Baby. Rcently her character has been killed in the serial, hope she will get resurrection soon. She is witty and her screen presence is immense and colossal.
5.Lubna
She is the Hema Malini look alike of Baa Bahu aur baby. Somehow even when she does overacting, it is not irritating and the way she portrays the character as the eldest bahu she is marvellous.
6.Richa Gujarati
She used to be the bahu of Babhi, recently has character has been given to somebody else. I always used to feel this girl has immense potential, and that has been materialised, it is learnt that she has signed a film with Abjieet Sawant, the Indian Idol. She performs has role quite candidly.
7.Panchi Vohra
She became a bahu very recently in kayamat, but from the very beginning, I had predicted that she will be the Rani Mukherjee of TV and that has really happened. She is sober, beautiful and with no ommps. Very simple and very innocent. 8.Pallavi
This dark girl fares well in Karam Apna Apna. She fully justifies with her role as a daughter from a lower middle class family , but now a bahu of a very rich family.
9.Sangeeta Ghosh
This lady has vivacious screen presence and recently we saw her in Des Mein Nikla Hoga Chand which won her a instant fame.
10.Kavita Nagpal
She plays Rakesh Bedis wife in Office Office. Although she is very plump and old enough for the role she play, but still I like the way she enacts her role. She is simply superb. Readers now you give your choice of bahus in the TV and let us see which bahu wins the most of the vote.
According to grapevine, King Khan will be seen with Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor in the forthcoming movie Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi by Yash Raj Films directed by Aditya Chopra. Deepika’s love interest will be SRK, but SRK’s heart has been stolen by a village belly Sonam. SRK will enact the role of an NRI who returns to his country wherein he find the village girl. Since both girls are not in best of their terms {following the Ranbir Kapoor breakups), the off-screen sparks will be more interesting to watch than the onscreen ones.
Aditya Chopra, Filmmaker of DDLJ and Choor Choori Chupe Chupke fame, recently finally got divorced from his wife and now intends to marry film star Rani Mukherjee. According the grapevines the Chopras (his father and mother) are not happy with the marriage, so to keep good terms with the alienated first daughter in law, they have gifted her with a bungalow in Juhu and some whopping crores to keep her lips lock. Aditya’s first marriage is 6 year old. Seems Rani too is following the steps of Hema Malini , Sridevi and Karishna Kapoor who all happen to marry , already married men and now that Kareena is also on the way. May be these girls are more fascinated in braking a contentedly nuptial home and also looks like that they have an affection to men much mature to them in epoch too.
Katrina Kaif has vehemently denied that Salman Khan manhandled her recently, as she says it is just a media hype and nothing of that sort happened. Hmm… she needs to defend her beau’s image as she is fully aware that if she does not bestow a statement like this, he is going to manhandle her for a second time.
OSO director Farah Khan gave birth to triplets last week in Mumbai. She delivered 2 girls and a boy, the names may be something like Om Shanthi Shanthi!! It is understood that she has undergone a successful IVF insemination. The next generation of choreographers and directors are on the anvil! Congrats Farah and her 13 year younger husband Shirish (Sh!!!!!! Not a joke).
Homage to the legendary and the eternal tragic queen Madhubala on her Birthday/Death Anniversary in February
Her childhood days
Madhubala is India’s Hindi film industry’s, delicate, semi-tragic, mortal survival. She remains a seductress even 35+ year after her demise.
Â
Madhubala’s father, was Ataullah Khan, a Pathan who had immigrated from the Pakistan. She was born, February 14, 1933, Valentines Day, in the Malad suburb of Bombay. Her birth name was Mumtaz Khan, the third of 11 children. Bombay Talkies studio was located in the Malad suburb where the Bombay Talkies was located. She was interviewed at the age of 8 by DeviKa Rani and Himanshu Rai, for an audition. Having impressed by her performance they put her in the movie Basant. The song was a super hit, after she acted in many films as a child artiste. Â
Under the direction of Kidar Sharma, at the age of 13 Mumtaz was signed as heroine opposite Raj Kumar who done the debue with this movie. It was on this film that producer Devika Rani gave her the name Madhubala, which means, “young maiden made of honey”. After that she acted in 17 movies, even when madhubala was not 17.
Madhubala grew within the studio complex. When her friends went to school she gave shooting for the movie, her father was very possessive about her and he doted on her money.Â
Chemistry with Dilip Kumar
She featured with Dilip Kumar in the film Tarana and their off screen affair too started and it is said that this was one of the legendry tragic love affair.
Madhubala and Dilip Kumar were deep in love, but her father opposed. He did not like the affair, as whole her money, property etc. was under his control. Their affair was at that time took to court also as Madhubala’s father did not allow her to go got location shoots with Dilip Kumar. Since her family was totally against the affair, it ended up on a bitter note. Dilip once told about Madhubala that “I love this woman and shall love her till my dying day.” The affair though, had come to a bitter end.
Her love affairs
Old stalwarts say that her first director Mr Kidar Sharma, who gave her first break was in deeply love with her, but madhubla never reciprocated, he was a married man too. Later film Mahal was made by Kamal Amrohi, they too had a serious love affair. Film Mahal was a super hit due to their serious affair.Amrohi was again a married man,madhubala told him to divorce his first wife, she even offered him lakhs of rupees for that. But he wanted to be devoted to his first wife. She became heart broken and then left him in sway.Â
Madhubala was proposed by three men, Pradeep Kumar, Bharat Bhushan and Kishor Kumar. She selected Kishor.They had a civil marriage and Kishore converted to Islam and was renamed Karim Abdul . His parents refused to attend the wedding and never really accepted Madhubala as they thought she had broken their son’s marriage. When Madhubala went to touch her father in law’s feet they moved away.Â
 Â
She moved back to her bungalow because her inlaws were torturing her. Madhubala realised that she had made a mistake in marrying Kishore; who was ineffective and parsimonious. What a catastrophe!!Â
The Screen divinity
She is considered the most beautiful woman to have ever appeared on the Indian film screen. Her untimely death and tragic romance with Dilip Kumar has superior her to legendary significance. Many journalists have claimed that Madhubala was very immoral, and obsessed many lovers. May be it is the thoughts of these journalists’ conjecture. Madhubala was lively and flirtatious, yet this is no proof of carelessness.

She’s gorgeous, intelligent and very much her own person. Sarah-Jane Dias, Pantaloons Femina Miss India-World 2007, talks on her preparations for the Miss World pageant.
Age:24 yrs
Height:5’9’’
Stats:35-27-37
Was the Femina Miss India contest always part of the larger plan in life, or was it just something you decided to enter?
It was unquestionably not on a impulse. I’d always wanted to be a Femina Miss India since I was a little girl. Then I read an ad in the paper this year and knew it was time. I was 24… I didn’t want to look back at 60 and regret not having given it a try.
You dreamt of being famous?
Yes. I enjoy being famous. Initially, it was a attraction, now it’s a job.
How do you feel being among the Femina’s 50 Most Beautiful Women in India? I can’t believe it. For someone as low profile as me, it was overwhelming.
You are thinking of getting into Bollywood?
For now, I’d really like to stay focused on the contest. But I also want to do a lot of things in the future, Bollywood, etc. And I definitely want to have an album of my own some day.
What is your dream role?
Any role in ‘Shantaram’. I’d have the best of both worlds. I mean, it’s Johnny Depp and Amitabh Bachchan!
Tell us your fitness mantra.
I’ve been in training for about three months now. Deanne Pandey is my trainer and she is really the best. She’s extremely dedicated and constantly updates my workout so that I don’t get bored. I do a bit of kick boxing, yoga,weight training and cardio and I eat healthy.
Your advice to the young girls who would like to experience Femina Miss India.
Young girls out there should not let anyone control their minds. If you give up your autonomy, you’ve lost a massive part of yourself.
The worst analysis you have received so far?
Bodily criticism is the easiest way to affect a girl. I got a lot of that during the pageant. I decided to get healthy, and lost six kilos in three weeks.
The secret to your beauty..
Water. I try to drink at least three to four litres a day. It’s wonderful and flushes out all the toxins.
What do your carry in your make up box?
I always carry some sort of gloss, because my lips tend to get chapped a lot. So I have my gloss from The Body Shop.Also, transparent mascara and of course the Bobbi Brown eye shadow, blusher and bronzer in one.
The obsession you disgust about yourself..
I’m very hard on myself…
Do you have boyfriends?
I’m single… but have no time for a relationship. I’m dating a couple of
guys though.
The biggest support you have.. My family.Although they live in Muscat, I know they are always there for me. I gain my strength from them.
Where do you see yourself after an year? Travelling around the world, hopefully as Miss World!
The wait for an interview with this rising star is worth every minute of it. Cheekily intelligent and naughtily witty, Darsheel (Ishaan Awasthi) Safary is a star in his own right. Quiz him on his now famous quotient and he gloats, “I think I’m famous but my mother, father and even Aamir uncle have warned me to not feel so proud.†A student at Shiamak Davar Dance School, “it all happened when Amole uncle (writer and creative director Amole Gupte) came to watch me perform at a show. Even Shiamak uncle recommended me and then I auditioned before Aamir uncle.†He switches from the playful to the all-attentive mode as talk veers towards his equation with Aamir Khan. Even as Aamir taught him how to cheat in the game of Uno and the difference between two kinds of tear bananewalla glycerines, “my biggest kick was working with Aamir uncle and that too with perfection. It’s a big word but we just had to be perfect.†What about Kiran Rao? Was she a Khatra Aunty? “She was very nice.†But didn’t Aamir lose his temper even once? “Sure, he did. He scolded me once at Panchgani. We were supposed to go to bed by 8 pm. But I always used to party from nine till three-four in the morning.†And just who were his partners in crime? “I made Tanay, my best friend in Taare Zameen Par and Sachet, my brother in TZP , party with me. There were other boarders too who joined in. But I was the only one yawning at the next day’s shoot.†Has his image in school changed post-TZP? “I have these four friends Keval, Ashay, Heet Thakkar and Raj — they’ll be happy I named them — who have always encouraged me. But the others bullied me saying, ‘ Pata hai tujhe paisa mil raha hai. Zyada urr mat .’†Is that why he doesn’t want to talk about the bullies in school? “I’d much rather talk about my hero Hrithik Roshan. I like him 5,000 times, no, make it five million times. It is my dream to work with him.†Though he would like to work with Aamir again, Darsheel reasons why the actor isn’t his hero. “If tomorrow I work with Saif, I can’t say he is my hero. I need to have my own choice, you see.†And what’s the little master’s choice when it comes to his female fans? “I get bugged when girls touch my cheeks,†says Darsheel, the irritation ringing clear. Explains why it took a lot of cajoling from Aamir to convince Darsheel that nobody (least of all girls) would laugh at him if he sat perched on the toilet bowl. Darsheel has already made female fans at Greenlawns High School where he studies. According to Darsheel’s mother, girls from eighth and ninth standard are vying for his attention — and have already become his fans. They find him cute, particularly his bunny rabbit smile. “Nobody has made fun of my teeth though. They wanted the character to have bunny teeth. So, they are lucky for me,†says Little Man Tate.
MUMBAI: Two women were allegedly molested by a group of men on New Year outside a five-star hotel here.
Police said no complaint has been filed yet in this connection, but the local edition of a leading English daily published a series of photographs on the incident.
“No such complaint has been registered with us. We had adequate security arrangements outside the hotel, where personnel from the State Reserve Police Force were posted and closed circuit cameras installed,” Additional Commissioner of Police Archna Tyagi said.
The incident took place at around 0145 hrs(local time) on Tuesday when the women, along with their male friends, were heading towards Juhu beach from a hotel in the suburbs.
A mob of 70-80 men reportedly tore up the women’s clothes, molested and groped them while their male companions, overpowered by the crowd, watched helplessly.
Update: While searching online for more information and pictures i found this website nitawriter
This image from her blog.
Mumbai, January 2: Downplaying the shocking incident of two women in Juhu being molested by a mob of 70 people as a “minor issue”, Police Commissioner D N Jadhav on Wednesday accused the media of making “mountain out of molehill.”
“Such things can happen anywhere anytime. Here also where I am. Don’t make mountain out of molehill,” Yadav said responding to questions by the newsmen on the incident.
The two women were groped and molested by a mob of 70-80 people near a five-star hotel from where they were returning after the New Year celebrations early Tuesday.
“It (the molestation) is just an offence,” Yadav said while appearing to target the media at the same time when he asked “Why are you blowing it out of proportion?”
Stating that no one has come forward to file a complaint, he said the police was registering a case on its own.
“I can’t keep police behind every man,” the Commissioner said, adding that the police were investigating the case.
Update: 15 nabbed for molesting NRI girls on New Year
Friday, 04 January , 2008, 00:44
Mumbai: Fifteen youths were arrested here late on Thursday night in connection with the alleged molestation of two NRI girls from California on New Year.
Of those arrested, two had surrendered before the Mumbai police.
The police action comes more than 48 hours after the incident in which a rowdy group of New Year revellers allegedly ripped off the clothes of the two girls, who originally belong to Valsad in south Gujarat.
