“Bollywood Barbie” - Ashwariya’s Loss and Katrina’s Gain!
The legendary Barbie doll company which is celebrating it 50th birthday anniversary in India, first approached Aishwarya Rai to become a new face of the dolls. But Aishwarya declined the offer due to her professional commitments. Eventually the offer goes into the kitty of another gorgeous Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif who is not less than Ash in terms of beauty and style.
Katrina is very happy with the assignment and also recently sizzled the Lakme Fashion Week ramp in Barbie doll outfits.
Excited Katrina says, “It is so much fun to endorse a Barbie doll. “Almost every girl has grown up playing with the doll and so have I, so it feels great. My sisters would be really happy to know that I am endorsing this brand.”
Bipasha Basu as a Director?
The hot and sizzling Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu, who has just spent nine years in the industry and now she feels that she has enough knowledge of cinema and can take on film direction.
Bipasha don’t only want to be a floor-burning sizzler forever, instead wants to use her experience of the film industry.
“I’ve learned on the job. I now understand script, character, choreography, camera angles. So, I guess I do see myself directing a film,” says Bipasha.
“I know I’ll be fantastic with things from behind the camera,” adds Bipasha.
Talking about her style mantra, Bipasha adds, “Nowadays I take more interest in the way I look. I’ve become conscious of what suits me. I won’t do anything that I don’t follow or don’t feel comfortable in. Fortunately we have such capable choreographers. They know I’m not a professional dancer. So, they give me movements that are fun and more me. I understand all that now.”
Frieida Pinto to do another International film!

Arjun Rampal and Nicole Kidman starring in a movie together!
Yes, you are right, the one and only gorgeous, Oscar winning Australian actress Nicole Kidman will be in India for an ad shoot along with Bollywood guy Arjun Rampal. Guess what? all the other Bollywood biggies must be feeling jealous about Rampal.
The ad film is for a carbonated water and ginger ale beverage company and Arjun will feature in the ad along with Nicole Kidman. The ad is being produced by director-producer Sir Ridley Scott of American Gangster and Body of Lies fame, while being directed by Shekhar Kapur.
The shot is of five days, which will start from today in Udaipur. It was Shekhar Kapur who recommended Rampal’s name to Ridley Scott’s production house. Rampal was once in demand supermodel of Mumbai, who used to do ramp walking, commercials and brand endorsements. But he gave up modeling nine years ago for his Bollywood career. Now the actor is happy with this assignment in between his Bollywood career.
While leaving to Udaipur, Rampal said, “Working with Nicole Kidman is going to be fun.”
He later added, “This is a dream team to work with. I really appreciate Nicole Kidman as an actor, she’s very very good and I’m excited to be working with her.”
But, there is doubt that whether Kidman knew that Rampal too is an actor. On that note Rampal said, “But she will once she is here.”
