Bollywood’s leading ladies say they have never felt mediocre to men and mull over opportunities are escalating for women in the country.
On Womens Day today i.e. 8th March,2008 ,BestDesi.com asked Bollywood stars on what they feel being a woman , this is what they opined:
Shilpa Shetty:
As a woman I’ve nothing to grumble about. Today when I go abroad I’m proud to symbolize my film fraternity, my gender, my country and myself. I guess I’ve been singularly lucky. I realize there’re so many women in our country who are still aggressive to earn a living. But I think things are varying very fast. Opportunities for women aren’t incomplete any longer.
Hema Malini: 
I’m proud to be a woman and an Indian. With the prominence that I’ve achieved I’ve no problem getting what I want. But I know it isn’t so with a lot of women in our country. I sympathize with their distress and I do want to work towards getting better their lot. That’s one of the reasons I joined politics.
Ekta Kapoor : 
Being a woman is no annoyance. Though I won’t say it’s an benefit either in today’s India - at least not in the corporate world. Yet lots of women in rural India are made to believe they’re deprived by their gender. Yes gender bias is fading. I think our inherent advantage as women is that we’re stronger than men even though we’re more perceptive.
Bipasha Basu: 
The new Indian woman cuts across all age groups and class structures. We acclimatize better to situation because we are not playing by the rules of others. We are flexible and are able to bounce back from every prospect. I know women who go to work, take care of house and home, and be mothers without breaking a step. I don’t know many men who can do that. Somehow we never tire out ourselves as much in the place of work as men do.

Meet Indian women detective Bhawana Paliwal
Women are there in all types of job stream, teaching, secretatrial work, police, doctor etc.etc. But her job is different. Meet Bhavna Paliwal of New Delhi is, a private detective being hired by Indian brides to investigate about their suitors.
Bhavna Paliwal, is among one of India’s wedding detectives, who are being hired here in growing numbers to dig out out the truth about prospective mates.
In India, hiring a wedding detective like that of Paliwal has become a familiar prenuptial habit, as important as the heavy wedding gold and the multi-cuisine ten-course meal served on plates.
Confidential detectives are in business in India for several years but today their services are more essential than before. As there is a tremendous enhancement in the business class of Delhi, so is the augment of dowries. Those dowries, in turn, have boosted the encouragement for hoax.
Grooms from United States come in haste, marry, then rush back home with the booty, leaving behind what have become known as “abandoned brides�. Meanwhile, in India, young couples who meet over the internet are getting away with lies that gossip would once have exposed.
Anupam Mittal, founder of Shaadi.com, an internet portal that celebrated its millionth match last year says,

During his hey days Govinda was a greater star and who was friendly with the tiny actress, when she was staying with her parents in an Andheri apartment. Out of emotion, he had given her that bungalow, which does not exist now. Now that nothing emerges between them, Govinda is asking her to return the Bungalow.
During earlier times, when Rani was a struggling actress, she wanted to stay in a modest place, so Govinda had transferred the bungalow in her name so legal battle may not help him much. Now that Govinda came to know that Rani Mukherji had bought a expansive home in Juhu’s Janki Kutir area, Govinda started taking advice on the ways of getting back his erstwhile property. He is still seeking advice only, not talked to Rani directly.
IGovinda and Rani Mukherji have worked together in several hit movies like ‘Chalo Ishq Ladaye’, ‘Hadh Kar Di Aapne’, ‘Pyar Deewana Hota Hai’ etc and their on screen and off screen chemistry were awesome. And this rewarding of a bungalow to Rani by Govinda is the result of these repercussions of those days.
If Govinda wants to unlock the Pandora box that would unquestionably go not in favour of Rani, but it would also pitch terrible radiance on Govinda who wants back something gifted at some point of time to somebody unusual!!
Perhaps Govinda did not know that “small gifts make friends, a great one will make enemy�.

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.

1. Unadulterated smile:
This is the real baby smile, as one cannot counterfeit it. The eyes are beamed up and a small crow’s feet is observable around the eyes. Lips are raised and parted and full set of teeth is visible.
2. Synchronised smile:
This can be done by an confident smiler as it is a hard one. The smile has to be affectionate while accumulating a presumptuous penchant body, as the smile and the body language has to be parallel.
3. Adoring smile:
This can be faked easily, because this depends upon the relationship with the person you are facing. This is done by slanting the head towards the others.
4. Courteous smile:
This is a smile used by politicians as no facial expression is visible and the eyes too does not give any expression.
5. Uncomfortable smirk:
In this head is twisted forward and eyes look away or may be even down. To be used in situation like when you are late at work or forgot to do some work given by your spouse.
6.Forged grin:
One of the lips is higher than the other one. The eyes are glazing elsewhere. Can be shown when you are not interested in seeing the other person.

Before returning to India and setting up his company Infosys, its Chairman Mr. Narayanmurthy worked in Bulgeria. He had a very horrific time during his preceding days of staying there. Civil war cropped up there and Mr. Murthy had to proceed to his homeland. The money he possessed was also limited. He somehow caught a train to Paris. In the train journey he got acquainted with a girl and started conversing with her in French.
Thinking that they were talking against communism, the Communist soldiers on the platform seized and put him into jail. When the soldiers were sure that he is in Indian and thus they allowed to him after 48 hours. Two days of hunger and a long walk on the highway to grab hold of some transport to railways, he learnt his lesson of life.
It was at this time that he decided that not communalism but free enterprise with a flexible bend for ill-fated will resolve the predicament and removal of poverty to an extent.

If tax figures are to be believed, King Khan is a bigger king of the marketing world too.
 
A major share of his advance tax money has gone into paying for his income from endorsing a swerve of products and other sources, which is a whopping amount of Rs.270 million. Sources in the advertising agency for which the superstar has worked divulged that his income from endorsements fetches him Rs.1.5 billion ($38 million) a year, the highest for any Indian advertising “model”.
Amitabh Bachchan does more endorsement that King Khan, but his annual endorsements do not cross Rs.1.2 billion.
King Khan will continue to hold this position for more years as he has a strong threshold in the Bollywood compared to many others stars as there is no one yet who can opponent his magnetism.
In the current fiscal, his earnings from this source may go a little above Rs.1.5 billion as he has been made brand ambassador of more products - and more are waiting, the sources added. His movie does not fetch him more than 50-60 million per film.
A big large piece of his income from outside Bollywood in the current year also accrued from hosting STAR Plus’ “Kaun Banega Crorepati” quiz series for which he received Rs.10 million per episode.
King Khan received a profit of Rs. 400 million on his home production Om Shanthi Om when he sold the right to Eros International for whopping Rs. 750 million whereas his original expenditure was only Rs. 350 million. Rs. 50 million was the fees which he gave himself for working as hero in that movie, which is not included in the profit of accounts.
King Khan does not augment his fees unlike his contenders. It is implicit that he is not avaricious on this part. Even though his latest movie OSO is a super duper hit, he does not intend to increase his fees. That’s the star excellence he has, and that’s why he is victorious.
“Shah Rukh chooses his movies carefully. First, the subject matter must appeal to him and, if it does, his opting to star in the movie would largely depend on the credibility and antecedents of the producer and the director,â€?said an executive of the star’s production banner, Red Chillies Production.
In disparity, Shah Rukh behaves like a ’star’ when he shoots for TV commercials. There he refuses to negotiation on anything, particularly on his price. “Why should I compromise? TV commercials are what they are – commercials, laments the Badshah
“Had the industry not put me in a position where I am today, would the companies have chosen me to be their brand ambassadors?” he asks.
Is King Khan, then, robbing Peter to pay Paul? As one advertising agency executive put it: “He is, but his breaking and entering seem like a communal deal.”Â
