Top 10 Bahu’s Of India

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.

Women’s Day, 8th March , Bollywood Babes talk to us

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: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: 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 : 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:  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.

Ekta Kapoor denies reports that Pulkit Samrat of KSBKBT serial has won the court case

Pulkit Samrat, who plays Lakshya in the popular soap “Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi”, has accused  Ekta kapoor that she had poorly paid and under-utilised and this has bewildered the soap tycoon.

Pulkit has earlier filed a petition in the Bombay High Court against Balaji Telefilms Limited for non-payment and also for a contract that restricted him from working with any other production house for three years. He claims that the case has been won by him.

According to Ektha, “Pulkit seems to have misconstrued what the honorable bench’s verdict. My lawyers know exactly what the court said, and it is not what Pulkit is making it out to be,”

According to sources in Balajai,Pulkit wanted to give away serials and wanted to work in films. So for that intention, he made some lame excuses on health aspects and hence he could come for 3-4 hours in a day for the shooting. This has disturbed the whole situation as the time table was mismanaged. The whole matter started thereafter. But it is not true that Pulkit has won the case , as the case is still pending in the court. It is understood that he took a break when his track was at its peak in the serial and this has infuriated Balaji camp.

According to reports, Ekta will litigate the newspaper, Mumbai Mirror, for publishing the ambiguous report, which suggested that Pulkit has won the case.

Ekta Kapoor launches new serial Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil

Ekta Kapoor's is launching her new serial Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil  3rd March.

Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil
The time slot of the serial will be 8:30 p.m prime-time , thus replacing the oldie, Kasautii Zindagii Kay. It is hoped that the show becomes an amazing hit.  

The name of the leading lady of the serial is Aditi Gupta. But since Ekta is  fond of numerology fixture and is very gullible about it, it is understood that she made a bit change on the lady’s name, she simply added another D in Aditi to make  it more powerful.

So wait and watch for another capacious serial from Balaji.
