10 Most Beautiful Women In Bollywood

10. Madhuri Dixit



She is called the goddess and the queen of Bollywood all at the same time. Well, I don't agree with that, but she is gorgeous. Her smile just radiates happiness, femininity and beauty and that is hard to find all in one woman.

9. Karishma Kapoor



For a long time, I thought that Karishma was... well, ugly. But the more I've looked at her the more I've realized that she has something about her face that is just... gorgeous. My favorite feature of hers is her lips which have a very beautiful shape to them. She has a beauty that isn't straightforward and isn't the kind you see everyday, but it shouldn't be ignored.

8. Aishwarya Rai



This woman is known as the most beautiful woman in the world and all one has to do is glance at her and they know that she is extraordinary beautiful. Her eyes are her most amazing feature. They're a gorgeous bluish green, which is something that we do not see in Asian women very often.

7. Deepika Padukone



Wow. That's all I can say for Deepika really. Wow. She has such presence in beauty, not only in her films but also in her pictures. Like Karishma, she has a different face, but it is seductive and breathtaking.

6. Rani Mukherjee



My favorite feature of Rani cannot be seen, but heard. Her voice is mesmerizing and incredibly sexy. She can make men and women everywhere weak in the knees with just a few words. And to match her voice is an almost equally as beautiful face. She's on the shorter side, but she's full of spunk, attitude and personality that can be rare to find.

5. Shilpa Shetty



Shilpa Shilpa Shilpa... Everything about her face is pleasant to me. She has a cute nose, nice lips and gorgeous, expressive eyes. One of the sexiest women ever to touch the Bollywood screen.

4. Kangana Ranaut



One cannot even begin to comprehend just how much this woman has captivated me, both with her beauty and with her acting skills. There's something quiet, unassuming and mysterious about both her looks and performances that is special considering how loud and overly-energetic some actresses can be.

3. Kareena Kapoor



Many people I know can't stand Kareena - and that's putting it nicely. They find her mean and ugly and the only good thing they usually have to say about her is that she is a good actress. What do I say to them? POO POO! I adore Kareena with everything in me. She's innocence, sex appeal and attitude all in one and she IS a very talented actress. Her tendency to say mean things about her costars can be unbecoming, but hey, not everyone can be perfect like our next two ladies.

2. Madhubala



This woman... is the true goddess of Bollywood and is the true star and face of Bollywood to me. She had such a beautiful, girlish charm about her that I have yet to find in any other actress, Indian or otherwise. She has a strange face that is surprisingly gorgeous and no one can quite compare to her.

1. Kajol



I know no one is surprised by this, but that's because I love, love, LOVE her. Her face is something special and her unibrow gives her more character than all the other actresses on this list combined. She has this "I'm amazing and I know it" look in her pictures that works for her and not for others. Her eyes are soulful and expressive and she has the most beautiful skin I've ever seen. For me, she is the queen of Bollywood now and forever. Forget Madhuri, forget Kareena, forget Aishwarya - she has a talent and a beauty that cannot ever be matched up with by anyone.

Review: Break Ke Baad *Spoilers*



Break Ke Baad
Stars: Imran Khan, Deepika Padukone
Directed by: Danish Aslam
Released: 2010


Oh. My. God. I had no idea going into this movie just how much I was going to absolutely fall in love with it. Let's get right to the story:

So we have Abhay Gulati (Khan) and Aaliyah Khan (Padukone), two young adults who have been friends since they were very little and have been dating for almost as long. Aaliyah is stubborn, selfish and dreams of being an actress. Abhay or Gulati as he is affectionately called by his 'Al' is mature, dedicated and completely lost. He doesn't know what he wants to do with his life, but he knows it's not in his father's business. Things change however, when Al gets accepted to a college in Australia and decides to go which involves leaving Abhay for a year. Without considering his or her mother's feelings, she leaves. For the first few months, Al and Gulati do their best to talk on the phone, but after a while it becomes too stressful for Al to handle and she tells Abhay she wants to go on a break.

Abhay gets worried about what might be going on there, so he comes to see Al in Australia, where she breaks up with him - really breaks up with him. He however is determined to stay there and win her back, so he gets a room in the house she shares with Nads and Cyrus - a hilarious brother and sister. At first Al completely repels against "Mission Gulati", or Abhay's plan to get her back, but it isn't long before they become friends again. Near the end of her school year, Al gets offered a movie deal and excitedly takes it until she finds out just how unhappy it makes her mother. She goes back to Delhi, leaving Abhay behind heartbroken but with his new and booming restaurant.

After some convincing from her mother, Al decides to go back to Australia and take the movie deal. While there, she has a heart to heart with Abhay and tells him that she hopes he'll get married so that he can move on from her. He doesn't deserve to be unhappy because of what she did to him. So Gulati goes back to India and very soon after, Cyrus gets a call from Abhay who tells him that he is getting married. After realizing that she still loves him Aaliyah gets on a plane and goes to tell Abhay that she wants to marry him. After arriving and giving Abhay a long speech abut why they should get married, she finds out that she was the one he was going to marry the entire time. During the credits, we see that they are living a happy life, spending their honeymoon on the set of Al's movie and have a daughter named Sarah.

This story completely blew me away. One of the taglines for the movie is that it's a love story that's a little different - and I couldn't agree more. I thought it was great. We see so many Hindi love stories about the couple who fight the urge to love each other, but we don't usually see a couple that is together, breaks up and slowly gets back together. Put a great story together with comedy and some very sweet scenes and you have a great film.

The acting was superb as well. I found this to be Imran's best role yet (which I believe is partially thanks to having Deepika as his costar). He was very convincing when Abhay was supposed to be happy and when Abhay was supposed to be sad. I was very impressed and his comedy was great as well. He's making his way everyone and he's definitely the next big Khan - look out! Deepika was amazing as well. I hated... hated Aaliyah. Al was way too selfish (and coming from me, that's saying a lot) but Deepika's performance as her was top notch and completely different from her role in Om Shanti Om, the other movie I've seen her in. With Imran as her hero, she had more room and time to shine, which was in a way stolen from her when she was with Shahrukh.

The music was... Let's just say, it's been a while since I've loved a song as much as Adhoore. Because I know very little Hindi, most of the time my liking for a song is because of the way it sounds, but with Adhoore, I also love it for the lyrics. They're amazingly sweet and fit perfectly with the movie (which they should). The other songs were great as well and fit very nicely with the scenes. I'm downloading the entire soundtrack as we speak.

I would also like to mention that I was never once bored with this film. Again, coming from me that's saying a lot. I didn't think it was possible, but I actually fell in love with this film completely and has now become my new favorite movie over My Name Is Khan (don't get me wrong guys, that movie will ALWAYS be top notch to me and will always be deeply loved, but come on..). This movie affected me in the way I think Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge affected a lot of other people. It just hit me in so many ways and I loved the chemistry that Deeps and Immy shared in the movie. I said a while back that they looked like the new SRKajol and although there will never truly be another one of those, Imrika looks very promising to me.

Shahrukh Aur Sunita Hamesha!
