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.

Today SVOI Chotte Ustad Final!

In continuation of the previous post of Chotte Ustad

There is no second judgment that Anwesha is the unsurpassed candidate for the Chotte Ustad title.  Howsoever, even Star Plus is bountiful by giving more exposure for Aishwariya, the end result has to be that Anwesha of Kolkatta will bag the crown.  Her code number is 9 for the voting lines, which itself is a unambiguous clue that she is the obvious winner, as numerologically 9 is a very powerful number compared to 11 of Aishwsariya.  The precise talent, correct aptitude, flair, endowment and above all, the  right contestant has to win ,and that is Anwesha.

The pre-eminent and the most greatest part I like about Anwesha is that all along with persuasive and credible singing, she possess down to earth intrinsic worth, a quality which is personified in her body language, perhaps she got it genetically from her mother who always keeps a optimistic, buoyant and positive smiling face even when Aishwariya is being praised ;dissimilar to Aishwairya’s mother who makes unconcerned and undaunted facial expressions when Anwesha is praised. What I mean to communicate is that Anwesha’s naive and raw qualities are too personified in her singing capabilities.  I am stressing the point again that Anwesha is the best gifted sweet melodious singer and so please help her win the title.

King Khan and Ash come together for movie

Sharukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai are getting together to act again after a long period of gap.  This couple could not come togther after Devdas was due to the fact that Sallu bhai was very possessive of Aish.

Salman Khan had made this very clear on the sets of CHALTE CHALTE (2003), in which Ash was to act opposite Sharukh, but then due to a fight on the sets between Sallu and Sharukh, Ash could not star, and later Rani was chosen.

But at present everything is over between the old lovebirds. Today Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is enjoying the triumph of her first post marriage release, JODHAA AKBAR. She is also known to be “The first fully active actress after marriage!”

The onscreen chemistry between SRK and Aish are noticeable, there is no two opinion about it. The fact that their pairing in films like, JOSH (2000),  MOHABBATEIN (2000)  and  DEVDAS (2002) proved to be a big knock , cannot be shorn of.

The general view was that Aishwarya when Josh was released, Aish shared a better chemistry with SRK (who played her brother in the film) than with her love significance, Chandrachur Singh. Ash and Sharukh have that kind of appearance, which draws people to their films. Till today, their item number, ‘Ishq Kameena’ from SHAKTI -THE POWER (2002) is amazing.

Bachchan Bahu was asked if she was ready to work with Sharukh, she said that she is ready to work with him, provided that there is a proposal worthy of her consideration.

That is a statement worth to be listened by filmmakers.

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.
