Bollywood Women 3
81Bollywood Women 3
Well here is my third Bollywood women Hub.
I really hadn't intended to do more than one...maybe two, but people seem to like them so here goes.....
Kangana Ranaut
Kangana Ranaut was born on March 23, 1987 in Bhambla, Himachal Pradesh, India.
She started out as a model, then moved onto theatre in with the Asmita Theatre Group in Delhi.
In 2005 she was actually spotted having coffee in a cafe by Hindi film-maker Anurag Basu, and he offered her a leading role in his movie, Gangster.
(It may have been Bollywood, but it sounds like a Hollywood story to me)
Gangster came out in 2006 and was a smash hit with critics and at the box office.
Kangana was so good in Gangster that she won the...Asian Festival of First Films, Best Actress, Filmfare Best Female Debut Award, Filmfare Fairever Fresh Face of the Year Award, IIFA Best Female Debut Award, Star Screen Award for Most Promising Newcomer - Female, Zee Cine Award for Best Female Debut, Stardust Superstar of Tomorrow - Female, Bollywood Movie Award - Best Female Debut...and that was just her first movie!
Kangana followed up Gangster with nine more films, and has five more set for 2010.
Amrita Rao
Amrita Rao was born on June 7, 1981, in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
Like a lot of other Bollywood actresses, she started out as a model.
Her modeling led to commercials, and that caught the attention of Bollywood film directors.
Amrita's film debut was in 2002's Ab Ke Baras. The film was also the debut of Arya Babbar, the son of Hindi and Punjabi film actor, Raj Babbar.
Since her debut, Amrita has gone on to appear in seventeen films.
She has also racked up an impressive list of awards and nominations.
Esha Deol
Esha Deol was born on November 2, 1980, also in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
Both of Esha's parents are actors. Her father is Dharmendra, possibly one of the greatest Bollywood actors of all time, and her mother is Hema Malini, an Indian actress, director and producer and Bharatanatyam dancer-choreographer, whose career spanned over forty years and one hundred and fifty films.
Before becoming an actress, Esha was a state level soccer player and was selected for the Indian national team.
Besides soccer, she is a skilled Odissi dancer.
(Odissi is one of the eight classical dance forms of India)
Esha's first film was 2002's Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe, a Hindi remake of Julia Robert's Sleeping with the Enemy.
She has gone on to appear in over 20 more films.
Rakhi Sawant
Rakhi Sawant was born on November 25, 1978, again in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
Unlike most of the Bollywood actresses I have done entries on, Rakhi started out as a cabaret dancer.
And Rakhi has had several run-ins with the the law in India which is odd considering that her father was a Mumbai policeman and she has said in interviews that she is a follower of Jesus Christ and reads the Bible.
Well, you know what they say about preachers sons/daughters, maybe it applies to policemen as well.
Anyway, she had her acting debut in 1999 in Dil Ka Sauda and has gone on to appear in over twenty films.
Rakhi made the news recently when she appeared on the reality TV show, Rakhi Ka Swayamwar, and chose her future husband, Canadian businessman Elesh Parujanwala, from seventeen contestants.
The couple was supposed to marry immediately, but they decided to postpone the marriage for an indefinite period of time.
But since the recently publicized kiss between Rakhi and singer Mika Singh, it looks like the wedding might be off.
Lara Dutta
Lara Dutta was born on April 16, 1978, in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India.
She is not only a Bollywood actress, but also a UNFPA Goodwill Ambassador and former Miss Universe (2000).
2000 was the same year that Priyanka Chopra won Miss World and Dia Mirza won Miss Asia Pacific, giving India a "hat-trick".
And Lara made a 9.99 score in her finalist interview, the highest individual score in any category in the history of the Miss Universe contest!
Lara's first film was the Tamil language film, Arasatchi made in 2002, but it wasn't released until 2004, making the 2003 Bollywood film, Andaaz her debut.
In Andaaz, she co-starred with the former Miss World, Priyanka Chopra and she and Priyanka jointly won the 2004 Filmfare Best Female Debut Award.
Since then, Lara has gone on to appear in 30 films.
Prachi Desai
Prachi Desai was born on September 12, 1988, in Gujarat , India.
Although she is a Bollywood actress, she is probably best known for her role as Bani Dixit (Bani Walia) in the Hindi television drama Kasamh Se.
Pracchi also appeared on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, the Indian version of Britain's Strictly Come Dancing.
As far as Bollywood fims go, she made her debut in 2008's Rock On!!(the movie won seven Filmfare awards) and followed it with 2009's Life Partner (with Govinda, Genelia D'Souza, Fardeen Khan and Tusshar Kapoor).
In 2010 she will be appearing in Once Upon A Time In Mumbai with Ajay Devgan, Emraan Hashmi and Kangana Ranaut.
