AISHWARYA RAI BACHCHAN IN ROBOT
|
|
Another year bites the dust. While it was memorable for some actresses, most would want to Ctrl-Alt-Del 2010 from their memories. Here’s a look at how it was the various beauties of tinsel town.
Aishwariya Rai
Aishwarya had a poor 2010, as far her movies are concerned. Only ENDHIRAN (Tamil film dubbed and released in Hindi as well), did well at the box office. She was appreciated for her performance in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali directed film GUZAARISH, but the film didn’t do well. Even RAAVAN and ACTION REPLAYY failed at the box office.
Bipasha Basu
It was a shocking year for Bipasha, as one of her yesteryear advertisement, showing her topless suddenly got leaked in the world of net. But unlike other heroines, she took it in her stride and moved on as the controversy died. Bipasha surely does not believe in blast from the past. On the movies front, all her releases this year- PANKH, LAMHAA and AAKROSH were major duds.
Priyanka Chopra
Piggy Chops appeared in an absolutely new avatar this year as she stepped into the shoes of Akshay Kumar and hosted the ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 3’, establishing herself as the new khiladi girl of Bollywood. However, her Bollywood releases in 2010, like ANJAANA ANJAANI and PYAAR IMPOSSIBLE failed miserably.
Celina Jaitley
Finally the ‘Hot Bod’ Celina Jaitley is in love once again and this time she has confessed to be dating with Dubai based hotelier named Peter Haag. Last time it was gay activism and now her love life. Celina surely is not making news for films anymore. She was a part of HELLO DARLING, which was a major flop.
Deepika Padukone
It is a long time since Deepika and Ranbir have separated. And ‘Break Ke Baad’ (pun intended), she is in news for her romantic links once again. In this one year, the sought after actor of B-town is speculated to have rediscovered a soft corner for Siddharth Mallya, son of business tycoon Vijay Mallya. Though the pair remains hush-hush over their relationship despite their series of public appearances together, media has always speculated that the chemistry between the two seems to be a bit more than mere friendship. Although she was part of KARTHIK CALLING KARTHIK, HOUSEFULL, LAFANGEY PARINDEY and KHELEIN HUM JEE JAAN SEY, only HOUSEFULL was a success.
Dia Mirza
It was an absolutely silent year for the Bollywood beauty with only HUM TUM AUR GHOST releasing. Even that didn’t do well. Perhaps that is why she is always found busy on Twitter, sharing her feelings with her fans.
Sonam Kapoor
Bollywood style diva Sonam Kapoor turned a fashion mentor in Mumbai as she shared her expertise on fashion at ‘Fashion Class with Esprit’ at the Esprit store. ‘The Fashion Class’ saw Sonam ‘tutoring’ Esprit aficionados, who turned out in huge numbers to get tips from the diva. She shared tips on ‘boyfriend dressing’, the travel must haves this winter, tips on casual look for a relaxed brunch with friends and the Hi-glam look for an evening out with that special someone. She gave a hit in the form of I HATE LUV STORYS but her film, AISHA failed to create a splash, though it was liked by many critics.
Jacqueline Fernandez
She was the new ‘Dhanno’ girl of Bollywood, as her item dance number in HOUSEFULL made the Sri Lankan beauty quite a famous face. Although in the later half of the year, Malaika Arora as ‘Munni’ and then Katrina as ‘Sheila’ took the credit away completely.
Kajol
After returning from exile in 2009, her first film of the year MY NAME IS KHAN roared at the box office as her fans loved to see the Shah Rukh- Kajol chemistry once again on the big screen. Her next release of the year- WE ARE FAMILY was also liked by a certain segment of her fans though the film did just okay. Moreover, Kajol gave birth to her second child this year, welcoming one more member to the Devgn family.
Madhuri Dixit
Madhuri Dixit made a comeback this year as she was seen judging the popular dance reality show ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa season 4’. She also joined popular micro blogging site Twitter this year.
Malaika Arora Khan
Malaika Arora Khan banged her fans as she appeared as ‘Munni’ in the most sizzling item number of the year ‘Munni Badnam Hui’ in the film ‘Dabangg’.
Mallika Sherawat
She appeared at the red carpets at the Cannes Film Festival by wrapping a snake around her, visited a snake temple, but luck was not in her favour as her much talked about Hollywood debut film HISSS failed to make a mark in the hearts of global audience. However, Mallika absolutely gets the credit of becoming the first international ‘nagin’, truly something unique.
Neha Dhupia
Neha seems to be happy being in the sidelines than being the lead actor, as she continued to act as the supporting actor in the movie ACTION REPLAYY, which failed in the box office. However, she received appreciation for her role in the offbeat B-Town movie PHAS GAYE RE OBAMA.
Preity Zinta
Preity Zinta remained absolutely silent this year with not a single film released, However, the only matter that pulled her name to the lime light was all the controversy and problems associated with her Indian Premiere League franchisee ‘Kings XI Punjab’. Cracking the whip, the Governing Council of the IPL on Oct 10 terminated the contracts of two glamour franchisees - Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab, sending tectonic tremors in the cash-rich annual event. But recent court reprieves brought the smile back on her face. She surely is keeping fingers crossed over IPL.
Anushka Sharma
Moving on from her simple girl next door image of RAB NE BANA DI JODI, Anushka Sharma was seen in a glamorous role in BADMAASH COMPANY. It was an average affair. But her next release BAND BAAJA BAARAAT, showed her acting prowess.
