Queen Bee's New Avatar!

Meenakumari, Madhubala, Waheeda Rehman, Hema Malini, Sri Devi, Madhuri, Kajol and then Rani... No actress has been able to set the BO on fire than these powerhouse of talents! But the new glam look of our homely Rani hasn't been taken well by the media and her fans. Yes, she did set a trend in KKHH but that was way back in 1997! I don't mean actresses over a period of time cannot live up to the glam image. Certain actresses do - Eg: Priety Zinta in KANK and JBJ. She was ultra glamorous!
Rani's no doubt looking good losing oodles of pounds but I personally feel she's trying too hard. Rani, you have lots of fans...I guess you should just focus on what you do best - 'act' and the rest of the magic will follow!

Back with a bang!

The Hindi industry is surely a ticket to success. In the dog-eat-dog world, for some, it is instant rise to fame and for many; it is a slow climb up the hill. Here’s a look into some of them who have slogged in the industry and are currently super stars!

Shilpa Shetty- The long-legged dusky beauty made her debut with King Khan in ‘Baazigar’.With a string of blinks and misses, she was a go-getter! She could only boast of item songs and a nose job! With ‘dhadkan’, she said ‘phir milenge’ to her acting prowess! An enthusiastic person, she went with the flow and hit the bull’s eye with ‘Big Brother’. She is on cloud nine with meetings with the British PM Tony Blair and Queen Elizabeth 11 and also launching perfumes, restaurants, and brand of clothing. Shilpa is now an International star!

Saif Ali Khan-The ‘Chote Nawaab’ of Bollywood was criticized for being feminine and an actor who could only play second fiddle to the ‘Khiladi’-Akshay Kumar.Farhan Akhtar’s ‘DCH’ changed it all for saif, who received accolades for his spontaneity and comic timing. This led to a string of popular films and he received the national award for the best actor for ‘Hum Tum’. ‘Parineeta’ and ‘Omkara’ were immensely surprising! He is a ‘langda’ in his real life relationships but ‘langda tyagi’ in reel life walks away with all the awards and the glam Bebo too!

Arshad Warsi- Famous as ‘Circuit’ with the ‘Munnabhai series’, he debuted in ‘Tere mere sapne’. Arshad is inimitable and excels in comedy and dialogue delivery and not to forget, he is a natural dancer too! He proved his acting abilities in films like ‘Waisa bhi hota hai: part 2 and ‘Kabul express’.

Himesh Reshammiya-He started his music career to fulfill his father’s wishes. Made caps lucky not just for him, but for his tutors too! Rem, vineet of Sa re ga ma pa? It was with ‘Bandhan’ and’Pyar kiya to darna kya’ that he befriended Salman khan and went on to compose almost all of his films with hits like, ‘Tere naam’ and ‘Maine pyar kyu kiya’and showed his immense gratitude to Sallu and family in the award functions. Gave Emraan Hashmi the popular track from ‘Aksar’ –‘jhalak dikhlaja’ too! From a mind-blowing composer, to a nasal singer and a masses actor, who salutes the rickshaw-wallas in Germany and not to forget an animated Himmesh, he is sure to give the audience unlimited entertainment!

Watch out for more such snails that will rock in the years to come!
