Who's the hottest in Sari: Priyanka, Bipasha or Vidya?

Bollywood actresses and their various style mantras are always in big focus whether it is their western outfits or otherwise. The Indian traditional outfits have always been something which has been under the scanner as soon as the B town actresses wear it. However, no other garment has made such an impact such as the sari.

The sari is the most popular garment in the traditional Indian context of fashion. This attire has undergone quite a change in the way it used to be draped around a woman.

The Bollywood top female stars who look simply great in this six yard cloth are of course many. But the ones who truly look stunning are Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu, Vidya Balan, Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone and Shilpa Shetty.

Who can forget Priyanka Chopra in the Desi Girl number from the flick Dostana, , looking piping hot ? Or Bipasha Basu creating a storm in her beautiful sari at the IIFA Awards?

Even Deepika Padukone at the Cannes film festival in an exquisite sari was the talk of the nation, while Kat is well known for her wet sari look in most of her films. Vidya Balan makes it a point to look as cool as ever in sari at most formal events and ditto Shipla Shetty, who is quite often spotted in this attire at public events that almost start the nation’s heart beating a tad bit faster.

Well, with most of our Bollywood stars opting for this Indian attire to look their best it seems like the fans of these stars just can’t get enough of them. Each time a star appears in a designer sari-it becomes a rage with almost every one wanting the same look.

The sari has traveled a long way from being a modest garment to being transformed into the most fashionable garment from the Indian attire range. Now with all these beauties mentioned above looking astoundingly smashing in the sari it’s a tough job to pick who the best one is. What do you think?

Ash, Kat, Priyanka & Shilpa: Plastic dolls of Bollywood

The world of glitz and glamour is such that there are many who fall prey to it before realizing what a great demand this particular world has of the perfect look.

Speaking of getting into the perfect mould, our Bollywood stars are not far behind in seeking the perfect look and body albeit with a little magic with the cosmetic surgeon's knife.

Ever since the new generation of top crop stars have set the trend, having perfect teeth is no longer considered a hindrance as it is an uncalled for rule that if one has to join in the bandwagon of tinsel town then going to the best dentist in town is the first step to be taken.

There are names like Koena Mitra, Rakhi Sawant, Shilpa Shetty, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif and even Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to name just a few have undergone at least some sort of cosmetic cure in order to get the perfect look.

Even though most of these top notch stars have denied taking any such step, gossip columns do crop up with news about them having become plastic dolls of Bollywood.

If reports are to be believed at least 80% of Bollywood actors have undergone cosmetic treatment to get their perfect look. Well, it is actually quite difficult to tell what's real and what's fake in today's plastic dolls of Bollywood.

Vidya to visit Silk Smitha's home for The Dirty Picture

Vidya Balan will take a sizeable chunk of time off to explore Silk Smitha's life before getting into the part for Milan Luthria's Silk Smitha biopic, The Dirty Picture. Smitha was the controversial queen of sleaze from Tamil cinema who died under mysterious circumstances in 1996.

Currently focussed on completing Sujoy Ghosh's Kahaani in Kolkata, Balan intends to visit Eluru, Smitha's birthplace in Andhra Pradesh, as well as Chennai, the late actress' workbase. She will also meet people who were close to Smitha.

Says a source, "This is Vidya's second biographical character in a year. Just as UTV made sure that her part as Sabrina Lal in No One Killed Jessica was approved by her family, Vidya wants Silk Smitha's family to give their go-ahead."

Balan is aware that the team behind this film, producer Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms and director Milan Luthria, got into trouble with their last film Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai.

Says a source, "They had to eventually deny that Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai was Haji Mastan's biopic because of pressure from his family. Kangna Ranaut's character was modelled on Madhubala. By the end of the film, they were all denying any resemblance to her."

Says Balan, "I was surprised to hear that I had reservations about doing certain scenes in The Dirty Picture. We haven't reached that stage of discussion. We're still discussing the contract."

Apparently Balan will mention in the contract that the film is indeed and irrevocably a legitimate Silk Smitha biography. Says the actress, "One has to be very careful about portraying real lives on screen, especially controversial ones. Of course, the role comes with a sleazy connotation. But I never go by the character only. I go by the entire script."

Reportedly, director Raj Kumar Santoshi is also keen on signing her in an author-backed true-life role.

Balan sighs with happiness, "I'm glad filmmakers show so much faith in my ability to portray real people. I'd love to do a comedy with Raj Kumar Santoshi. To do a role like Sridevi's in Mr India, I'd give my right arm."

Inspired by Shakira, Katrina has no marriage plans

Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif says she drew inspiration from pop star Shakira for the sizzling item song "Shiela Ki Jawani" from her upcoming film "Tees Maar Khan".

When asked by reporters here about comparisons of her dance in the superhit number with that of Shakira, she said she can only dream of such comparisons.

"I can only dream of such comparisons. To be very frank, I drew inspiration from her. If my dance in the song 'Shiela ki Jawani' reminds the viewers of Shakira, it's a huge reward for me, " said Katrina Kaif, who was in Kolkata with her "Tees Maar Khan" co-star Akshay Kumar Saturday for the promotion of the film.

She was all praises for director Farah Khan and gave her the credit for the grand success of the song.

"We have worked hard for the song. But the credit goes to Farah and her conceptualisation of the song. She is a brilliant choreographer, " the actress said.

"Tees Maar Khan", directed by Farah, is slated to release Dec 24. It has already hit the headlines for its scorching item song "Shiela Ki Jawani" featuring Katrina.

Asked about her role, Katrina said she is not so bold in the film as it seems from "Shiela Ki Jawani".

"My role is of an aspiring actress. She is not so very aggressive as it looked in the song. She is very naive and sweet. She is the girlfriend to Akshay in the film. She lands herself into trouble because of her own stupidity. It's a fun kind of a character, " the actress said.

Katrina Kaif also says she has no plans to tie the knot right now, but feels that marriage is a cute thing.

"I don't have any plans. But I think marriage is one of the cute things. You have to leave it in god's hand, " said Katrina.

When the question about Katrina's marriage was popped to Akshay, he shot back: "Why do you want her to get married? She is a very talented actress. She is making her career. Let her make it."

The movie revolves around Tarbez Mirza Khan, a criminal played by Akshay, and his girlfriend Anya played by Katrina who gets the job of robbing antiques worth Rs.500 crore from a heavily guarded moving train. The film is an action comedy.

"What is challenging for me would be to design for women with heavy busts, plump arms, short necks, double chins, wide hips and saggy bellies.


People believe that swimwear is only for those who have the right curves.


What they fail to understand is that one can look flattering by creating an optical illusion!" And the sex siren will create her own illusion by modelling for them.
