Ah, Mallika Sherawat … who can resist her? While hot-blooded males are fixated with her heaving chest, we women can’t help but envy her ‘droolicious’ curves. Even if the original Bollywood bombshell tried to dress down when she was in Kuala Lumpur, you could still see her slipping out of her semi-transparent, tight angelic white dress.

But the 32-year-old actress is quick to point out that she is more than meets the eyes.

“Sexy is just one part of me,” said Mallika matter-of-factly during this backstage chat at the Kuala Lumpur International Film Festival.

“There’s more to come from me, acting-wise.” She is, of course, talking about her buzzworthy Hollywood-financed Bollywood project, Hisss. Directed by indie filmmaker Jennifer Lynch, the India-set mystery is tipped to boost Mallika’s profile as an A-list actress worldwide.

“We’re taking the Indian legend of a shape-shifting snake to Hollywood,” enthused the actress. “I’m thrilled to play the snake-woman.”

Will Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment has inked a deal to produce two movies with Indian entertainment company, UTV.

Trust the Bollywood sexpot to make sound remarks about current affairs. After all, the conservative segments in India, including the Indian press, would like to hang her out to dry for speaking her mind all the time.

“If a chemical drug like Viagra is accepted by society and by the world to ignite desire, then what is the problem with my audio-visual called cinema which ignites desire?” Mallika was once famously quoted. “Both are basically doing the same thing!”

It turns out that Hisss is not her only deal with Tinseltown. Come next year, you’ll get to see the actress in The Aquarian Gospel, a semi-religious film that explores the missing years in Jesus Christ’s early life, somewhere when he was between 13 and 30. According to her, the more popular belief is that Jesus had visited Kashmir. And the movie chronicles his journey from Israel as a young boy, through India, Tibet, Persia, Greece and Egypt where he meets people of all creeds and sages from different faith. “We’ve already finished the principle photography.”

The actress plays Saraswati, one of Jesus’s loyal friends whom he bonds with while he travels through India.

“Saraswati is celibate (a brahmacharini),” she gives a gist of her character. “It’s a nice contrast to the kind of image I’m known for.”

Nice, but controversial. Yes, that is so Mallika.

“Who cares what people say about me? I am right on the ball,” she has been quoted as saying about her controversial choice of films (and public persona) in a previous interview. “And I don’t think one should take oneself too seriously.

“Be like the Buddha, I always say, smile through life. It will immediately look better.”

Now, if only her love life could be better, too. Mallika, despite her status as Bollywood’s kissing queen, has surprisingly managed to stay man-free. You don’t even hear the slightest romantic rumor about her. Well, she has admitted to being married once, but that was before she joined the film industry.

“I use my free time to read scripts and prepare for my next starring roles,” she said, with the longest of smiles.

Haifa Wehbe was born on March 10, 1976, in Mahrouna, South Lebanon. Growing up in Beirut, Wehbe enjoyed listening to jazz and R&B music. She got an early start in modeling, and was crowned “Miss South Lebanon” by the time she was sixteen. In 1995, nineteen-year-old Wehbe was runner-up in the Miss Lebanon competition; a title that was later revoked when it was discovered that she was married, had a daughter, and therefore did not qualify as a “Miss.”

A year later, Wehbe started modelling for several magazines, and soon after released her first album, It is Time. In 2005, she released her second album, I Want to Live, featuring the successful single “Hayat Albi.” It was followed up with her signature hit song, “Ana Haifa (I am Haifa).” On June 10, 2006, Haifa performed as an opening act for 50 Cent, at his first concert in Lebanon.

In addition to being known for her stunning looks, Wehbe also has a reputation for being catty and hypocritical with other women, especially when criticizing them for wearing revealing clothing. Wehbe, however, is no stranger to exposure herself. At the 2004 London Lebanese Fashion show, Wehbe sported a skin-tight dress that stole the spotlight from the show’s models, who seemed conservative in comparison. In March 2006, a video of her dress coming undone reportedly hit the internet and went straight into cyber-circulation, creating a scandal in her home country. Her management later stated that the video was fabricated and “not worth worrying about.”

Outside of show business, Wehbe has become engaged in designing her own line of diamond jewelry, as well as being a spokesmodel for Pepsi.

Forget about Mumbai mayhem. Let’s talk about Bollywood beauty! Is Katrina Kaif the new Aishwarya Rai?

Move over Aishwarya Rai Bachchan! Katrina Kaif could be the new number one actress in Bollywood. Her debut film Boom, in which she stars opposite Amitabh Bachchan, bombed and she was quickly written off, especially as she did not know Hindi.

But acquiring high-profile boyfriend Salman Khan was proved the turning point in her rapid rise to fame. But then one can’t play down the fact that the British Asian Kaif’s last five films (Namastey London, Partner, Welcome, Race, Singh is Kinng) have all been blockbusters. The turn around has come as a surprise as her voice has been dubbed in all her movies and critics have consistently found her acting and dancing skills wanting.

There is no denying the fact that Katrina Kaif is among the hottest, sexiest and most successful actresses today in Bollywood. And when Katrina decides to take out time for an exclusive interview, you better value each minute of her precious time. Riding high on the success of her films like Race and Singh Is Kinng, Katrina is now looking forward to create magic on screen with Salman Khan in Subhash Ghai’s magnum opus Yuvvraaj. Speaking from the sun-clad beaches of Goa (where she is shooting for Raj Kumar Santoshi’s Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani along side Ranbir Kapoor), the gorgeous Katrina Kaif pours her heart out and talks about everything from her next release Yuvvraaj to her future projects, from romancing Salman Khan (on-screen) to being part of the ‘Race’ to be the No.1 heroine.

The world waits with a bated breath to know whether she is single or indeed seeing someone. She was asked the obvious question on the show and she confessed that she is still single. Well, before jumping from your seats, there is more to come. She tactically replied that as for her, a person is bound to be single until he/she is unmarried! Got the logic!

In her career so far, she has delivered maximum number of hits with Akshay Kumar. As a ‘jodi’ they have been terrific and come with almost 100 percent success rate. Katrina speaks about Akshay, his professionalism and his dedication in front of the camera. She also speaks about Vipul Shah, the man who gave her a challenging role in Namastey London and the biggest success of her career - Singh Is Kinng.

Getting nostalgic about her initial years in the world of cinema, Katrina spoke about her film down south, ‘Malliswari’, the film she had done post the debacle of Boom and before the success of Sarkar. She talks about her good working experience with Venkatesh in the film and how she wasn’t really worried about the film’s language (Telugu) and mainly wanted to gain from the experience!

Is this the ultimate triumph of mediocrity over real talent in beauty-obsessed Bollywood? Katrina herself is surprised at her success: “It is humbling. I am one of the few actors who have been given a second chance in this industry. I am extremely proud of all my films.”

Besides gracing the silver screen and stages, Sammi is also the face and spokesperson of popular watch maker Titus.
