Scorching hot 30+ girls rock B-Town

Scorching hot 30+ girls rock B-TownB-Town debutants get older, giving their young
competition a run for their money

Gone are the days (well...almost!) when aspiring actresses
tried every trick in the book to mask their real age.

Bollywood is now seeing a whole new crop of 30 plus actresses
who are making no bones about debuting at an unconventional
age.

Name: Nargis Fakhri
Age: 30 plus
Bollywood debut: Rockstar (2011)
This half Czech-half Pakistani model started off with the
popular television series America's Next Top Model in 2004. 

It took her a good five years before she was featured in the Kingfisher calendar, but now
Nargis is undoubtedly one of the most-talked about new faces in the industry, even without a
single release.

Her evenings out with Ranbir Kapoor are discussed a lot more than her potential as an actor.
But if she does manage to match up to rockstar Ranbir in the film, we guess she'll be here to
stay.

Name: Mahie Gill
Age: 35 plus
Bollywood debut: Dev D (2009)
Her profile on the Internet may say otherwise, but Mahi had well crossed her 30s when
she made a very impressive debut in Anurag Kashyap's Dev D. She started off with theatre
and a few Punjabi films, before landing the role of the very lovely Paro. 

She continues to make choices that differentiate her from the rest, like her upcoming film Not
A Love Story with Deepak Dobriyal.

Name: Barbara Mori
Age: 30 plus
Bollywood debut: Kites (2010)
Kites may have given her little reason to fly high, but that doesn't take away from the fact
that this Spanish beauty was gutsy enough to kick-start her Bollywood career at a much later
stage in life. 

She started her acting career with a Spanish television series when she was in her early
20s. And though Kites did not really take off at the box-office, we can't say we don't
want to see more of Mori. 

Name: Monica Dogra
Age: 30 plus
Bollywood debut: Dhobhi Ghat (2011)
Dhobhi Ghat was almost a whole new phase in the career of singer Monica Dogra, who
had already created quite a mark for herself as a musician with her band Shaa'ir and Func
(established six years ago). 

Apparently, it was her voice and her individualistic style that got her the film. Her role as
an NRI photographer not only suited her to the T, but also distinguished her from the usual
 crop of starlets.

Name: Poorna Jagannathan
Age: 35 plus
Bollywood debut: Delly Belly (2011)
Already an established film and television actress in America
since the last seven years, it was Poorna's turn as a sexy
journalist in Delly Belly that got more men to stand up and
take note than any recent debutant in B-Town.

Her bohemian looks and self-sufficient attitude not only
separated her from the rest, but also portrayed her as
someone who can handle 'grown-up' roles with style and
 sensibility.

Katrina v/s Ranbir: Clash of the rockstars

Former sweethearts Katrina and Ranbir gear up to play similar roles, albeit in different movies
Even before Ranbir Kapoor sets to rock the big screen as a rockstar in Imtiaz Ali's next, his rumoured ex Katrina Kaif has managed to master the art of playing the guitar.

The actress, who apparently plays a musician in the film, was so keen on getting her notes right she that would ardently practice the guitar whenever she'd get the time.

Thankfully, for her, there was a well-established musician within the crew to help her from going out of tune.

Says Pakistani singer Ali Zafar who also plays an important part in the film, "Katrina is a very curious girl and quite keen on learning new things.

I used to tease her a lot about the way she used to hold the guitar and play it. But she made sure she got it right. "

A song in the film called Dhunki required the actress to perform in front of a huge crowd, and she obviously wanted to get her moves right.

Adds a source, "She is someone who lived on fruits, and kept away from anything oily for two months before Sheila Ki Jawani was shot. That way, she is quite obsessive about getting her act right. "

Clearly for Katrina, whose roles have been as conventional as it gets, to play a rock chic even for a day was a bigger challenge.

Adds Ali, "It is easy to typecast someone, but I always used to tell her that I want to see her with kohl under her eyes, messy hair and completely wild. I must say she managed to do justice to it too. "

The actress will also share the stage with Ali Zafar and Imran Khan during the promotions of the film where they plan to perform gigs across different cities.

Kangna booted out of Dutt camp. Has their friendship gone sour?


While it has been widely reported that Kangna Ranaut opted out of Ram Gopal Varma's Department to do Vishal Bhardwaj's sequel of Ishqiya, there seems to be more to her exit than meets the eye.

The latest is that she was ousted from RGV's movie for declining two films with Sanjay Dutt (who plays the lead in Department).

And that's also why she apparently wasn't invited for his wife Maanayata's birthday party last month, though they are believed to be good friends.

A well-paced source reveals that the first movie Kangna refused with Dutt was his next home production, the remake of Satte Pe Satta.

"Even though she gets along very well with Sanjay, Kangna felt that she should space out her films with him, lest they get too repetitive, " says our informer, adding that this refusal wasn't taken too unkindly by the Dutt camp.

Now, Preeti Sans Panties !

Mahi Gill Goes Bold in 'Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster'


Here's a look at how far the actress has gone in 'Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster' Mahi Gill stunned everyone with her bold portrayal of Paro in Dev D. 

But in Tigmanshu Dhulia's Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster  (the new-age adaptation of the old classic Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam), she goes a step further.


Not only has she shed her clothes but also has a lengthy kissing scene as well.

A source says, "The film has erotic scenes between Randeep Hooda and Mahi Gill. There is a love-making scene where she is dressed like a royal bahu and seduces Randeep's character.

Initially she had a few reservations, but once Tigmanshu assured her that it will be shot aesthetically she was game for it." 

Says producer Sunil Bohra, "It's a romantic scene in the film. Though people will find it very hot and sensuous, Tigmanshu has shot the sequence aesthetically."
