Top 10 Hottest Curvy Bollywood Divas

Top 10 Hottest Curvy Bollywood Divas

Top 10 Hottest Curvy Bollywood Divas

By Nidhal

Thankfully, the size zero fad is over. We Indians love our ladies with curves. Whatever be your body type – skinny, voluptuous, plus size, athletic or anything and everything else, women have curves, period (let’s not body shame please) and admire the ones who flaunt them tastefully, proudly and uninhibitedly! Ladies, you all have us slobbering. Fitness goals re-chalked and how!

1. Vidya Balan – Unarguably, the lady who had been hounded by the fashion fraternity, media and so-called fans for not fitting into the archetypal Euroepan-model like frame, the way Vidya chose to turn the cards in her favour with ‘The Dirty Picture’ (wherein she owned, flaunted and celebrated her natural curves) had everyone sighing over this South siren. Vidya Balan today is the first actress whose name explodes in one’s mind the minute “curvaceous” is mentioned.

2. Parineeti Chopra – Hounded in the name of being advised for long by every Tom, Dick and Harry for not being “in shape”, Parineeti transformed herself by 180 degrees by opting for a stringent fitness regimen that has enhanced her curves all the more. The baby fat that she had has now made way to toned and taut muscles. And that’s how you shush naysayers.

3. Huma Qureshi – Unapologetic about her naturally voluptuous curves, Huma Qureshi clearly owes no one perfection and is comfortable in flaunting her natural self like no other as evidenced by one of her iconic magazine cover shoots that stands nothing short of epoch- making. A powerhouse performer, she is the textbook definition of voluptuous.

4. Ileana D’Cruz – An angelic semblance and a waistline to kill for, South siren Ileana D’Cruz blends naivety with a dash of notoriety and mischief. No wonder Indian apparel highlights a woman’s curves tastefully and Ileana is no exception to that.

5. Jacqueline Fernandez – She oozes cheerfulness, boisterousness and joy, period. Sri Lankan beauty queen Jacqueline Fernandez has curves to die for. An athletic body frame with curves thrown in at the right places, who says that woman of only a particular body type qualify as curvaceous women? Jacqueline is here to refute you all point blank.

6. Sunny Leone – Unbridled and uninhibited sex appeal with a devil-may- care attitude wrapping it, Sunny Leone aka Karenjit Kaur Vohra has a body that’d leaving many drooling uncontrollably. The way she has shushed all her critics for belittling her previous career by never playing the victim card along with her noticeable and drool-inducing curves certainly raises her desirability quotient by leaps and bounds.

7. Bipasha Basu – Another fitness freak’s on our list and for very valid reason. Bong beauty Bipasha Basu has the quintessential gym-girl look with all her curves adorning her chiselled physique even more. Better hit the gym soon for that body is a work of dedication.

8. Chitrangada Singh – Bearing a strong resemblance to the dynamic performer late Smita Patil, Chitrangada Singh is your classic Indian beauty – big doe-shaped eyes, a warm sun-kissed skin tone that she (thankfully) hasn’t lightened and curves thrown in at the right places. Sultry, sensuous and enchanting, no wonder she leaves mouths agape. Oh by the way, she’s a mommy. Hit the gym, if you didn’t get that!

9. Zareen Khan- She started with Veer Zaara and has lost a lot of weight post that. For her debut Veer Zaara, she lost 30 kg from her original 90kg. She lifts weights and is currently the fittest curviest actress in Bollywood.

10. Bhumi Pednekar- The latest entrant to join the club, she was overweight and had lost all of her weight gradually and then she was offered her debut movie Dum Laga Ke Haisha for which she put on weight. Again her journey of losing the additional weight began, she is quite fit now. But is not stick thin, she resembles an ideal, healthy body.

Editor’s Note: That’s a great list Nidhal, I would add Kareena Kapoor to the list too!

Young, vibrant, exuberant, cheerful and a fashionista who exudes the girl-next- door vibe, Disha Patani is a head-turner, period. With an infectious smile, commendable sense of style, feminine aura and oodles of pertness, no wonder she has been catching the eyes of the Fash frat.

6) During Kung Fu Panda’s promotional event – Eliciting vibrance, zest and sunshine, Disha stepped out in a pretty red floor length anarkali from hot-shot couturier Anita Dongre during one of the promotional legs of her then impending flick – Kung Fu Panda. Keeping the look ornate yet not over the top, it was the gota work which catches eyes and induces a thumbs up from the fashion police.

7) On the ramp for Ritu Kumar at the India Couture Week 2017 – Setting the stage on fire as the show stopper for master designer Ritu Kumar at the India Couture Week 2017, Disha sported a floral sheer maxi with a cascading hem. With tangerine pointed-toe flats, fish net stocking and a stack of stunning bracelets, she let her lush locks loose which further accentuated her baby face. Elegant and feminine in a nutshell!

Best Off-Screen Looks of Katrina Kaif

By Nidhal

When she gyrates, she holds you transfixed. When she shows off her curves, she holds you transfixed. When she sets her foot on the red carpet, she holds you transfixed. The lady may not rank high on the charts of film connoisseurs and critics but she surely knows how to be the talk of the town thanks to her high-octane dance moves, angelic visage and enviable body/curves. She’s none other than the statuesque Katrina Kaif. Let us have a rundown of her Best Off-screen looks now.

1. IN REBECCA TAYLOR- Bringing a boho vibe to her off-screen avatars, Katrina opted for a printed block print maxi dress by Rebecca Taylor that had sheer mesh inserts as well as cut out sleeves during one of the promotional events of Fitoor opposite Aditya Roy Kapoor. With her luscious locks let loose and nude makeup, she was an out-and- out head-turner at the event.

2. IN DOLCE AND GABBANA- Clad in a lemon print off shoulder dress from Dolce and Gabbana, Katrina set out to promote Fitoor. Accessorising it with embellished beige pumps from Charles and Keith, she added a pair of gold earrings from Loupe Kat looked like a diva. Not to forget red lips complement her look very well.

3. IN BODICE- Giving everyone a peak-a- boo to her chiselled and absolutely enviable abs, Katrina draped herself in polka printed culottes from Bodice by Ruchika Sachdeva. She teamed it up with a white crop top by Dhruv Kapoor and matching sneakers. The look delineates comfort, chicness and ease, doesn’t it? Sassy without even trying, that’s what bursts upon my mind on seeing this look of hers.

4. IN MSGM- Swathed in a knitted bandage dress from MSGM‘s resort 2016 collection paired with Eytys white sneakers styled by Tanya Ghavri, the statuesque lass looked drop-dead gorgeous during one of the promotional events for Fitoor.

5. IN AN AZZEDINE ALAIA DRESS- Clad in a blush pink fit and flare dress by Azzedine Alaia, Katrina was spotted at the Mehboob Studios in Mumbai where she shot for a TV commercial. This lady takes minimalism to a whole new level and makes sure that it looks mesmeric too.

6. IN ROKSANDA- The sultry Katrina Kaif unleashed her chirpy and effervescent facet as she swaddled herself in a Roksanda cutout jumpsuit and black leather sneakers during one of the promotional legs of Baar Baar Dekho in the capital with her co-star Siddharth Malhotra. Simple, subtle and sizzling… this look is the exemplar of comfort.

7. IN JILL STUART- Going all out with bright vivid colours, Katrina looks easy on one’s eyes in a Jill Stuart outfit. Despite sporting colours which when teamed up may look gaudy or garish, the lady sashays in aplomb. A special mention goes to her Isharya earrings that are the perfect cherry on the cake.

Editor’s Note: Loved each of the seven, I can’t pick one! I absolutely love her style, very minimal and effortless.

7 Times Katrina Kaif Scorched the Screen With Her Abs

7 Times Katrina Kaif Scorched the Screen With Her Abs

By Nidhal

I remember the first time I heard of abs was in 2009.Om Shanti Om starring SRK and Deepika Padukone was about to hit the theatres. Promotions of the flick were inescapable. The star cast was practically everywhere- on each and every TV show, radio show, newspapers and internet. And adding to the hysteria was SRK’s dance number ‘Dard-E- Disco’ which had him flaunt his six-pack abs.

The flick released amidst a lot of fanfare and hue and cry (remember the Manoj Kumar versus Farah/SRK controversy?). The rest is history. We know how it set cash registers ringing at the Box Office. A year or two later, Aamir Khan came with his 8-pack abs in Ghajni and then, lead me into believing that abs are men’s domain.

But one day, Katrina Kaif happened and bwoy, her abs got me smitten the way no male actor’s did 🙂 So, here is to this statuesque lady’s well-toned abs – 7 times Katrina Kaif scorched the screen with her abs.

1. AT THE IPL’S OPENING CEREMONY- The ninth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) kicked off with a star-studded opening ceremony in 2016. With international names such as Chris Brown and Major Lazer performing alongside Bollywood A-listers, all what grabbed the maximum limelight was Katrina’s well-toned abs as she danced energetically. In fact, Ranveer Singh was compelled to mouth,” Give it up for Katrina’s abs”. Well, appositely said, Ranveer.

2. WHEN ON THE RAMP FOR MANISH MALHOTRA’S FASHION SHOW- B-town hot-property Aditya Roy Kapoor and Katrina Kaif were the perfect show stoppers for designer Manish Malhotra, who launched his collection ‘The Regal Threads’ in January. Walking the ramp in a silver Manish Malhotra lehenga, Katrina swept us off our feet with her perfect abs.

3. ON THE COVER OF GQ INDIA- Setting temperatures soaring with her abs making a no-holds barred appearance on the cover of GQ India, Katrina is a sight to behold (and desire)!

4. IN ‘EK THA TIGER’S’ SONG ‘MASHA-ALLAH’- As she swayed to the tunes of ‘Mashallah’ in the Salman Kahn-starrer Ek Tha Tiger in 2013, Katrina’s abs compel you to slobber.

5. IN ‘CHIKNI CHAMELI’- An out-and- out desi item number as it was, Chikni Chameli not only gave us the hook step of the year but also a chance to feast our eyes to this damsel’s chiselled abs.

6. IN ‘TEES MAAR KHAN’- Rome was not built in a day and so can be said about Kat’s abs which here, are in the process of becoming the weapons of mass destruction that they have turned out to be now. Katrina’s abs look sultry in this dance number from Tees Maar Khan.

7. IN ‘KALA CHASHMA’ FROM BAAR BAAR DEKHO- And here comes the song that has given us a full-blown no-holds barred view of this sultry lass’ chiselled abs that have overshadowed everything in the frame point blank. You have to admit it, you got ‘body goals’ after seeing Kat’s abs in the song ‘Kala Chashma’ from Baar Baar Dekho. As far as her co-star is concerned, sorry Siddharth but we didn’t even notice you. Your leading lady and her abs took away all the spotlight and rightly so 🙂

Editor’s Note: Well we all love Katrina’s Killer Abs. She is truly a fitness goal, considering how chubby she was in her earlier movies like ‘Partner’. She has come a long way!

10 Gorgeous Pakistani Actresses

10 Gorgeous Pakistani Actresses

By Nidhal

That Pakistani ladies are drop-dead gorgeous is a no-brainer. One glance and you’ll be transfixed for they are blessed in the looks department and how! Long cascading locks, piercing eyes, radiant skin (I do not equate radiant with fair by the way. It is co-incidental that most ladies here have lighter skin tones), chiselled frames, luscious lips, well-defined features and what not. With the advent of Zee Zindagi channel, we are now able to treat our eyes to these smouldering lasses from across the border better. On that note, let us have a look at the most gorgeous Pakistani ladies who have graced our TV screens in recent times. Admire-mode ON.

1. SANAM SAEED- Confession number one for the day- She IS my first lady crush (which means I have biasedly put her on top here). Besides her striking features, what I admire about her is her command over acting. At a time when most flutter eyelashes in the name of acting, it is Sanam Saeed who comes as a breath of fresh air. The lady is capable of giving all the top shots both in India and Pakistan a run for their money with her acting chops. Need an example? See Zindagi Gulzar Hai and Talkhiyaan (which according to her is her most favourite role till date. How do I know this? She’s my lady crush. I am supposed to know this, right?)

A model before venturing into acting fully, Sanam’s style blends comfort and trends effortlessly. A chiselled frame and oodles of intelligence make her stand apart. I think I should stop here for it is looking like an ode to Sanam, isn’t it?

2. SABA QAMAR – Inarguably the lady with the most well-defined features and another powerhouse actor, Saba Qamar Zaman first appeared in the television series Main Aurat Hoon. She won the PTV award for the best TV actress in both public and jury choice categories in the 16th Annual PTV awards on 23 July 2011. She has appeared in a variety of television dramas and advertisements. Her portrayal of a negative character- Saman in the drama ‘Maat’ won her a number of accolades.

3. MOOMAL KHALID – With a face as cherubic and seraphic as hers, a hue male fan following is expected quite naturally. A new kid on the block, Moomal Khalid was born on 2 nd September 1977 in the city of lights- Karachi. She went on to do a drama- Guriya Rani which does justice to her appearance, doesn’t it?

4. AREEJ FATIMA – First things first. She resembles Kriti Sanon to a great extent in my humble opinion. With a radiant skin that has striking features and enticing eyes, Areej Fatima stepped into the Pakistani drama industry with a leading role in the 2012 Geo TV serial Kis Din Mera Viyah Howay Ga 2, and followed it with serials including Mar Jain Bhi To Kya (2012), Paree (2013), Humnasheen (2013), Woh (2013), Kissey Apna Kahein (2014), Aik Pal (2015), Khilona (2015), and Ishq Parast (2015). We demand to see more of this pretty lady in future.

5. MAYA ALI – The textbook definition of bubbliness, chirpiness and exuberance – Maya Ali’s vivacious persona makes her an instant hit with her fans. She has worked as video jockey at SAMAA TV, Waqt News and Dunya News. She made her screen debut with a supporting role in the 2012 Haissam Hussain's Hum TV serial Durr-e- Shahwar, the same year she played her first leading role, again with Haissam Hussain's Geo TV serial Aik Nayee Cinderella. Her portrayal of the independent, strong-willed and upright Zara in the hit drama ‘Aunn Zara’ and nuanced comic timing in it, remains a high point in her career. A girl you’d like to take home to your mom, wouldn’t you? Psss… she is unmarried.

6. SONYA HUSSAIN – A renowned Pakistani TV host, actor and model from Karachi, Sonya Hussain is simplicity personified. With a glint of innocence in her eyes and luscious lips, she makes for a pretty face but wait, she is much more than that. She is known for her work on the drama Mere Hamrahi, Mein Hari Piya, Marasim, and Angeline Malik’s Kitni Girhain Baqi Hain. Her portrayal of a naïve girl who was deserted on a busy road at night by her husband in Kitni Girhain Baaki Hain struck a chord and till date, remains her best performance for me.

7. SANAM JUNG – Heart break alert! She got married RECENTLY. Yes, I understand. It aches. But that does not stop us from admiring this stunning lady. Cuurently, the host of Hum TV’S Jaago Pakistan Jaago, Sanam Jung began her career in showbiz as a VJ on AAG TV, She made her acting debut with a leading role in the 2013 Hum TV serial Dil e Muztar, which earned her Hum Award for Best Television Sensation Female. She subsequently featured in the critically and commercially successful series Mohabat Subh Ka Sitara Hai (2013), Mere Humdum Mere Dost (2014), and Alvida (2015).

8. SANA JAVED – Making her debut on television with Mera Pehla Pyar in 2012, the stunning Sana Javed made it to the A-List of models and actors in Pakistan in a period of two years. With eyes that pierce into one’s souls and a smile that melts one, Sana is blessed in the looks department. Another powerhouse performer to step into the Pakistani drama industry in recent years, Sana has all it takes to be the Czarina of the industry.

9. SAJAL ALI – With a face so angelic and smile equally endearing, Sajal Ali is a knonw Pakistani actress who is noted for playing a variety of characters in a range of serials—from contemporary social to romantic dramas. Ali first appeared on screen in a minor role in one episode of the 2009 Geo TV’s comedy drama Nadaaniyaan.

10. SYRA YOUSUF- Brace yourselves for another heartbreak, boys. She too is married. To top it all, she has a daughter too named Nooreh. Originally a model, she won the Veet Celebrations of Beauty Awards, in the Most Beautiful Smile category and the Sunday Award for Best Showstopper Award. Syra Yousuf started as VJ at MTV Pakistan hosting Bheja Fry and Most Wanted. She made her acting debut in serial Mera Naseeb opposite Sanam Saeed and went on to do many advertisements and dramas that etched her as a A-lister of Pakistan’s drama industry.

Editor’s Note: They have all got gorgeous eyes and really striking features.

Bollywood Ladies Rocking the Crop Top

Bollywood Ladies Rocking the Crop Top

By Nidhal

It’s fun. It’s flirtatious. It’s sassy and it’s in! Confounded? Don’t be. I am talking about what has made it to the fancy of Tinsel town ladies these days… Crop Tops! There is no denying that crop tops amp up one’s glam quotient by leaps and bounds. And if your midriff is drool-worthy, a crop top brings all the limelight to it in the most flattering and tasteful manner. On that note, let us take a note of those B-wood ladies who carry off crop tops in sheer panache and aplomb.

1. KATRINA KAIF- With a face so cherubic and a body that is enviable, it comes as no doubt that Katrina Kaif had to make it to the list. Seen here is Katrina swaddled in a prepossessing Dhruv Kapoor crop top with a pair of culottes by Bodice at the Fitoor promotions. She slipped on to a pair of comfortable sneakers. A tied back ponytail completed her chic look.

Subtle but stunning!

2. JACQUELINE FERNANDEZ– Arguably the lady with the fittest body in Tinseltown, Jacqueline is seen here saddled in a simple casual crop top, printed jeans a pair of sneakers. Doesn’t this perfect for casual outings with one’s bunch of pals? Simple, chic and winsome in short.

3. TAMMANAAH BHATIA- The warrior princess of Bahhubali, Tammanaah Bhatia is the epitome of cuteness. With a porcelain clear complexion, her choice of colour is impeccable. Pink suits those with a lighter skin tone the most just the way orange complements warm shades the best. Tammanaah is seen here swaddled in a candy pink crop top and skirt by Elizabeth and James. Nude pumps? Check. Wavy beachy tousled hair? Check. Natural makeup? Check.

Fresh and feminine look? Check. She was styled by Nishka Lulla Mehra and all that endeavour surely shows positively here.

4. DEEPIKA PADUKONE- Can she stop being the winsome lass that she is so that I am not compelled to put her in every list that I prepare? Well, that is a question only Deepika can answer but I hope it’s in negation  During one of the promotional legs of her then, impending movie- Piku, Deepika was seen swaddled in a black sequins sporty crop top with balloon sleeves. This was paired with distressed cropped denims. Sporty loafers in white completed her look. Pssst… I know you are drooling over her abs. I understand. Even I am 🙂

5. PRIYANKA CHOPRA- Another fashionista of Bollywood who almost always steps as if on a mission to leave one and all awestruck with her impeccable sense of dressing. Having donned crop tops a couple of times, Priyanka here shows you how to style it in a number of ways. Long skirt, denims, pencil skirts… You name it and she shows it and how! And that midriff is worth drooling over, isn’t it?

6. NARGIS FAKHRI – Her frame is enviable. Period. So is her natural pout, isn’t it? Looking her casual best at the screening of the movie- Finding Fanny, Nargis made sure the shutterbugs had a pleasant time as she opted for a Forever 21 crop top along with Zara palazzo pants.

7. SONAM KAPOOR- Can this lady ever be missed when compiling a list of most fashionable B-town divas? Sonam has been seen swaddled a number of times in Payal Singhal and Arpita Mehta crop tops on different occasions during the promotions of her then impending movie- Khoobsurat 🙂 Khoobsurat, we say!

Editor’s Note: I loved Sonam and Priyanka’s looks, very versatile.

Bollywood Ladies Who Carry Jumpsuits the Best

Bollywood Ladies Who Carry Jumpsuits the Best

By Nidhal

There may be myriad outfits at any given point of time. Period. Quite naturally, every trip to the market to zero in on an outfit for an occasion and you’d be spoiled for choice. While most outfits aren’t ‘versatile’ In the sense that you can’t put them on for any occasion/event sans a second thought. Come on, who wears a saree for a casual day out with friends, after all? But wait, there is one attire that is rightfully versatile to a ‘great extent’. Be it a casual day out with friends or a party, a date or a flight journey, jumpsuits are there to your rescue. Let us then, have a look at those Tinsel- town ladies who carry jumpsuits the best 🙂

1. SONAM KAPOOR- She strode in elan in an Elie Saab Jumpsuit On Day 3 Of MAMI 2015 and we were swept off our feet. Sonam, like never before, makes heads turn and after seeing her, we get to know why. This leggy lass is a Fashionista not for anything.

2. NARGIS FAKHRI- She is a lady who dresses effortlessly but doesn’t get as many roses thrown at her as some do in Tinsel-town so, here we are, doing what we think she deserves. That is to say, drool at her. At an event in Mumbai, Nargis looked drop-dead gorgeous in a sleek black jumpsuit. Minimalism is the key here and it works wonders, don’t you think so?

3. DEEPIKA PADUKONE- And here comes the reigning queen of Tinsel-town’s Box Office. And it looks like DP has made up her mind to plumb jumpsuits like no one. Be it a tiger-print or a strapless jumpsuit, a high-necked white jumpsuit or one revealing her décolletage, Deepika has gone all out with the attire and made heads turn. My favourite amongst all would be the one in tiger-print 🙂

4. YAMI GAUTAM- Swaddled in a Do & Be jumpsuit, Yami beams radiantly. Her nude makeup, minimal accessorising and girl-next- door charm compel us to envisage ourselves in place of Ayushmaan Khurrana as he serenaded her in Vicky Donor with ‘Paani Da Rang’. This looks proves that simplicity never goes out of vogue.

5. ATHIYA SHETTY- Newbies Athiya Shetty and Sooraj Pancholi made an appearance at F Bar in Delhi during one of the promotional tours of their then, impending flick- Hero. Athiya was swaddled in a gorgeous white jumpsuit by designer Ridhi Mehra from her latest collection. It goes without saying that she did justice to the embroidered ribbon sleeves jumpsuit.

6. KAJAL AGGARWAL- For the promotion of one of her flicks- Sardar Gabbara Singh, the perky Kajal kept things minimal in a Zara jumpsuit. Red lip, a classic wristwatch and nude pumps completed her look and don’t we just look at her with sheep’s eyes all this while?

7. KAREENA KAPOOR KHAN- During one of the screenings of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kareena sported a black and white printed DvF jumpsuit. With a Christopher Kane black sling bag with gold chain and Saint Laurent sandals, she rounded off her look. Aren’t you smitten?

Bollywood Fashion Faceoff: Who Wore it Better?

Bollywood Fashion Faceoff: Who Wore it Better?

By Nidhal

Choc-a- bloc schedules with film assignments, dubbing, movie promotions at myriad venues, advert shoots, press conferences, store launches, award ceremonies and frequent outdoor shoots… phew! It would be arduous to swaddle oneself in the trendiest of outfits and showcase one’s sense of style every time a star steps out. The struggle is all the more tedious for a Bollywood actress who is screened from top to toe for her style, while a male celeb may evade the lens of the fashion police, scot-free even after committing the most heinous of fashion faux pas.

In the midst of all this, B-town celebs, particularly the female ones end up crossing each other’s paths swathed in the same outfit! Now, that is not a blunder per se. One may have an idea of what they would wear for a particular event, but how is one supposed to have any inkling of others sartorial choices given one’s hectic schedules? So, while wearing the same attire is admissible and not at all cringe-worthy in my opinion, yet we can surely assess who wore it better – that is, who brought to the outfit their sense of style, individuality and panache? They say- Never let clothes wear you. So, let us check out who did the same. Let it out in the comments section.

1. DEEPIKA OR SONAM- ‘Great minds think alive’ so goes an adage. Certainly, in this case, when two of Bollywood’s leading ladies in the present time and ace fashionistas think alike, we get to treat our eyes to their winsome appearances. Both the ladies decided to wear the same sarees but at different events. While Deepika swaddled herself in a cut sleeve blouse and a high pony at one of the events of Chennai Express’ promotions, Sonam sported a vintage look with three-quarter- sleeved blouse and a loose bun for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag promotions.

2. YAMI, PARINEETI OR ALIA- All belonging to the new crop of Tinsel-town- Yami Gautam, Parineeti Chopra and Alia Bhatt decided to team a see-through black-n- white top with denims to keep the look easy-going and laidback. Although there may emerge a winner amongst Yami and Alia, but Parineeti underwhelmed thanks to the faux pas she suffered.

3. KAREENA OR DEEPIKA- And now that’s what you call an exact replica! The dimpled Deepika stepped out in a mesmeric houndstooth print outfit to promote Ram Leela on the sets of Kapil Sharma’s comedy show. Coincidentally, not long ago, the feisty Kareena Kapoor Khan posed for the cover of a magazine in an exact replica of the outfit.

4. SHILPA OR DEEPIKA- And here come the ladies who have the best bodies in Bollywood without any iota of doubt! Naturally, any dress would complement the two, but what if the two sultry lasses zero in on the same attire? Scroll upwards and decide for yourselves. Baffled, aren’t you? Clearly here, only the skirt of both the divas is common yet, even that is sufficient to draw parallels. While Deepika teamed up her floral print Zara skirt with a bishop sleeved top, Shilpa opted for a loose white top gathered with a belt with the same skirt.

5. DEEPIKA OR PARINEETI- Opting for a blue and red number with psychedelic prints, the statuesque Deepika Padukone and the pert Parineeti Chopra both held court at the respective events they wore it to. While Deepika wore the dress first at a Film Awards announcement conference in January 2016, Parineeti was seen wearing the dress at a photoshoot a few months later.

6. KATRINA OR SONAKSHI- Clad in a short printed dress, both Katrina Kaif and Sonakshi ‘shotgun’ Sinha looked like sisters cut from the same cloth. While Katrina wore the one-piece at the audio launch of Bang Bang, Sonakshi swaddled herself in the same raiment in one of the songs of Action Jackson.

7. KAREENA OR DEEPIKA- And it is Kareena Kapoor Khan versus Deepika Padukone again! Both the A-list actresses of Tinsel-town seem to have a similar taste in fashion, don’t they? This was the second instance when they stepped out wearing the same attire. Kareena walked the green carpet of IIFA 2014 in a black Giorgio Armani gown, a slight variation of which Deepika sported at IIFA 2016. While Kareena added a sheer to cover up her frontal bare, Deepika decided to bare it all and raising the oomph of the apparel by leaps and bounds.

Editor’s Note: 4 out of 7 are Deepika :/ I hope she has better stylists now 😀

So, who do you think should be crowned the better dressed?

Bollywood Ladies Who Dazzle in Swimsuits

Bollywood Ladies Who Dazzle in Swimsuits

By Nidhal

Remember the previous post on Bollywood ladies who sizzle in bikinis? Weren’t you left slobbering, drooling and wanting for more? The ladies certainly sported bikinis with enormous aplomb, confidence and a sense of pride in their bodies that one couldn’t help but have their heartbeats race at a pace most F1 racers would be put to shame. So here you with a brief rundown of those Bollywood Ladies whose swimsuit avatars have been the most graceful, tasteful and magnetic of all.

1. KATRINA KAIF- If you thought her abs in Kala Chashma were a treat to your eyes, think again! The lady’s got more to soothe your eyes. Her pink swimsuit avatar in Sau Aasmaano song from Baar Baar Dekho gives one a no-holds barred view of her sculpted sun-kissed body as she saunters on the picturesque beaches in the song. Katrina Kaif donned a pink swimsuit in Baar Baar Dekho and made sure that she brought a carefree and laidback attitude to an otherwise sultry swimsuit.

2. PRIYANKA CHOPRA- Priyanka Chopra, PC for short ensured that the temperature on the beaches of Miami increased by a few notches when she strutted in a shimmery golden swimsuit in Dostana. What I can say for certain is that cine-goers back home had their jaws drop in awe.

3. SHILPA SHETTY- And here comes another Dostana girl! Shilpa Shetty Kundra has a body sculpted to perfection. Period. But when she swaddles herself in an itsy-bitsy swimsuit while grooving to the tunes of ‘Shut Up and Bounce’ all you can do is look at her unblinkingly while controlling yourself from slobbering.

4. SHRADHHA KAPOOR- Her face and frame both bill her as a typical happy-go- lucky, effervescent and exuberant girl-next- door whom you would have always wanted to ask out for a date but couldn’t summon the courage to. But when the livewire Shraddha sports a swimsuit (with an enviable bralette) not only do you get an impetus to modify your beach wardrobe majorly but also you are left gasping for more.

5. KIARA ADVANI- The Fugly actress ensured that she took all her fans by surprise as she posed in a black swimsuit for the magazine cover of Maxim India February 2015. Kiara Advani’s sensual avatar here certainly grabs one’s eyeballs.

6. ESHA GUPTA- The Desi Angelina Jolie- Esha Gupta oozed seduction, magnetism and appeal as she swaddled herself in an itsy-bitsy swimsuit for Elle Magazine. The cover of the magazine reads “Esha Gupta in summer’s sexiest swimwear”. After having a look at it, one cannot help but nod almost hypnotically in approval.

7. JACQUELINE FERNANDEZ- Sri Lankan import and former beauty queen- Jacqueline Fernandez unleashed her sensual and sultry facet as she sent the carnal interests of one and all into a tizzy with her audacious and alluring swimsuit appearances in Murder 2. She certainly raised the visual appeal of the thriller by a few notches, we say!

Editor’s Note: I saw the movie yesterday and Katrina looked fab, the only good thing to see in the terrible movie :p She looked mesmerizing in that hot pink bikini with voluminous, blow dried hair and that tan! Also Esha Gupta and Shilpa Shetty can rock anything! Super hot bods! Agree on PC too, that gold bikini scene is unforgettable 😀

Top 10 Most Good Looking Pakistani Men: Part 2

Top 10 Most Good Looking Pakistani Men: Part 2

By Nidhal

Sometimes, a part two becomes indispensable say- in case of your favourite flick that left you wanting for more after it ended and the same can be extended to admiring the looks of men across our border 🙂 With Top 10 most good looking Pakistani men, I brought to you the most famed, easily-identifiable and unquestionably charismatic Pakistani men- a great many of whom you would have feasted your eyes to on TV or in flicks. With Top 10 Most Good-Looking Pakistani Men: Part 2, here’s to those heartthrobs who are just as good as the previous ones though not as easily identifiable to an average Indian “yet”. Shall we begin pampering our eyes then?

1. EMMAD IRFANI- *Drool *Sigh *Slobber that’s what this 36 year old model from Peshwar is desirability-personified. With features chiselled to perfection and piercing gaze that sets one motionless, here is to this hot property who is every inch a Greek God.

2. MOHSIN ABBAS HAIDER- A gifted singer who’s foraying into Lollywood (Pakistan’s film industry) with “Teri Meri Love Story”, Mohsin is the classic example of the adage- Where there is a will, there is a way. Faced with countless obstacles in the inception of his journey in the field of professional arts, he persevered and how! Thankfully, he did else we wouldn’t have treated our ears to his soulful a capellas. ‘Zameen-O- Zaman” and “Wo Su-e- lalazar’ being my earworms. Not to forget, doesn’t have typical chocolate boy looks? He’s married so, kindly do not set on hypothetical voyages

3. SAMI KHAN- A thorough gentleman at first sight, Sami Khan set his foot in the Pakistani entertainment industry in the year 2004 but it was in 2011 that he bagged his first Best Actor award at the 16 th PTV Awards. Doesn’t he look devastatingly good-looking?

4. ADEEL HUSSAIN- There’s a glint of mischief in the eyes of this innocent-looking 38 year old Pakistani actor- Adeel Hussain who is best known for his roles in Daam, Mata-e- Jaan Hai Tu, Mohabat Subh Ka Sitara Hai and Mera Naseeb. His performance in the recent Pakistani flick “Ho Mann Jahan” earned him a lot of fanfare and rightly so.

5. AFFAN WAHEED- Cuteness is appositely his epithet. Watching him with sheep’s eyes as he recites soul-stirring shayaris in Urdu would melt you without a doubt! 31 year old Affan Waheed is best known for his roles in Main Bushra and Aik Pal.

6. SHEHROZ SABZWARI- The doting father of Noorain and husband of the chirpy Syra Yousuf, Shehroz Sabzwari is your typical high-school crush who’d bring back memories of those days in the twinkling of an eye. Best known for his role in the film Khulay Aasman Ke Neechay directed by Javed Sheikh, he is textbook definition of a chocolate boy.

7. SIKANDER RIZVI- A man’s desirability hits roof top if he happens to concoct lip-smacking cuisines. And if that man is inherently blessed in the looks department, the combo becomes fatal. Sikander Rizvi is a Pakistani film actor and chef, known for playing the lead role in the romantic comedy Dekh Magar Pyar Se along with Humaima Malick. Not only that, he owns a café in Karachi which makes him don another hat besides being an actor!

8. MOHIB MIRZA- It’s by a quirk of fate that this debonair actor forayed into acting. As a student, he ran out of funds to pay the fees for the nest semester, so he along with this friends began a theatre company og their own called “Dramybazz” . They wrote and staged a play “One way ticket”, which ran in PACC for 7 days receiving an overwhelming response. Mohib, as a result earned thrice the amount he needed to fund the next semester. Soon TV followed and recently he was seen as the male protagonist in the Pakistani flick “Bachana” opposite Sanam Saeed which garnered rave reviews.

9. SHAHZAD NOOR- A charismatic Pakistani model and actor- Shahzad Noor won two Best Model Male awards at 10th Lux Style Awards and 14th Lux Style Awards respectively. He received three consecutive nominations at Hum Awards as Best Model Male, winning one.

10. USMAN MUKHTAR- A Pakistani director, producer, and actor rolled into one- Usman Mukhtar is one of the few independent directors based out of Islamabad, Pakistan. Doesn’t he remind you strongly of Johnny Depp from Pirates of the Caribbean? Captain Jack Sparrow, we are swooning already.
