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.
