Actress, Writer, Anurag Kashyap Ex-Wife Kalki Koechlin | Photos | Monologue Video

Last month, Bollywood filmmaker Anurag Kashyap announced that he is dating his assistant director Sabrina Khan. It now appears that he and his ex-wife Kalki Koechlin (see photo) are headed for divorce. They are now planning to file legal separation after getting married in 2011. The two remain good friends, however.

Who is Kalki Koechlin? She is an actress and screenwriter, who is also an active supporter of feminism and the anti-patriarchy movement. Born on January 10, 1984 in Kalkatty, Tamil Nadu, she is best known for her portrayal of Chandramukhi in the Hindi film Dev. D in 2009, for which she won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2009. In the said critically-acclaimed film, she played two characters: the innocent schoolgirl Leni who transformed into the erotic prostitute Chanda.

She is a desi of French descent, which explains her exotic look (see photo, as a cover girl for Women's Health magazine). Both her parents are French migrants who transferred to India some sixty years ago. They are devotees of Sri Aurobindo.

Kalki Koechlin is an active feminist. She was featured in the "It's Your Fault" anti-rape video, with VJ Juhi Pandey, which went viral on the internet in September 2013.

Koothara Actress, Kerala State Film Awardee, Dusky-Skinned Star Bhavana | Photos | Video

As of this writing, the trailer of the Malayalam mystery-thriller film "Kootahara" was recently released (see video at the end of this blog post). The movie, which stars Bharath, Sunny Wayne and Tovino Thomas (with Mohanlal in an extended cameo role) is about the different adventures of three friends from an engineering campus. Most of its scenes where shot in the Calicut University Institute of Engineering and Technology.

But this is post is not about the movie but the sexy and dusky-skinned actress Bhavana (see photo), who joins the cast of "Koothara" by Marikar Films.

She is one of the most talented stars of the South Indian film industry, appearing in more than sixty movies. Her career extends for more than ten years and has won her two Kerala State Film Awards.

Yet, she is much recognized for her screen name Bhavana, which also means "calling into existence", "producing", "cultivating" and "development". The term is really suited for her (take a look at below photo and you'll see). Because after her screen debut in 2002 with the film "Nammal", she seems to have blossomed into a well-spring of Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada movies.

Leander Paes Live-in Partner, Sanjay Dutt Ex-Wife Rhea Pillai | Photos | Video

Controversies seem to hound glamorous model and brand ambassador Rhea Pillai (see photo) these days.

Some three weeks ago, she grabbed the headlines with her much-publicized fight with Leander Paes, who was a tennis ace who debut as an actor in the 2013 socio-political thriller "Rajdhani Express". The couple are not married but are currently live-in partners. For the sake of their daughter Aiyana, I hope that they soon find peace in their relationship.

The beautiful Rhea Pillai appears to have a hard time looking for "Mr. Right". Before her relationship with wild romance with Leander Paes, she was previously married to controversial film actor/producer and convicted terrorist Sanjay Dutt (fortunately, their remain to be good friends despite their divorce).

Presently, she is involved in charity and humanitarian work through the Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Art of Living Foundation, where Rhea Pillai works as an instructor. In 2006, she was cast in a minor role for the Hindi Movie "Corporate". She looks quite classy, with curly hair, in below photo (with live-in partner Leander Paes during much happier times).

Priya Gill and Sridevi Look-alike: South Indian Actress Rakul Preet Singh | Photos | Hot Video

Friends tell me that she looks like the 90s actress Priya Gill and the legendary Sridevi. The physical characteristics of Rakul Preet Singh (see photo) indeed reminds us of the classic beauty of the bygone era of Indian films before it was tagged as Bollywood.

In 2009, she made her film debut through the Kannada film, "Gilli". Her performance in the said movie (aside from her pretty face and sexy desirable body) was immediately noticed by critics. But instead of pursuing an acting career, Rakul Preet took a break and concentrated on her modeling career and on her participation to the 2011 Miss India contest. Here she is as a beauty queen (she looks like Priya Gill and Sridevi in their prime right?).

At the said pageant, she won Miss India Tourism Queen International aside from four subtitles Pandaloons Femina Miss Fresh Face, Femina Miss Talented, Femina Miss Beautiful Smile and Femina Most Beautiful Smile. In 2011, she returned to the big screen through the Telugu movie Keratam. At present, she is one of the most sought after actresses in India, particularly in South Indian films.

Mastram Debut Actress: Tara Alisha Berry | Photos | Video

Released two days ago (May 9) in India but previously screened on October 2013 for the Mumbai Film Festival is the controversial movie "Mastram", a fictional biography about a reluctant pornographic writer who wants to be a litterateur.

The film is inspired by the anonymous writer of popular pulp fiction, sex and erotica stories, who goes by the same name (Mastram) and whose works are sold along railway station stalls, roadside and pavement shops in North India during the 1980s and 1990s. But never mind that, we leave movie reviews the critics for now. As of this writing, they are churning loads of negative reviews on it.

Fortunately for us, we are tasked with featuring its lead actress - the hot and sexy Tara Alisha Berry (see photo) - who is making making her debut in the said flick.

Tara Alisha Berry, called "Taasha" by the movie's cast and crew, is only twenty-four years of age. She is so young but already so mature to take one life's challenges. Not only because she made her debut in a controversial adult (some critics call porn) film but more so since she is facing negative reviews, fresh from the untimely death of her father Gautam and a legal battle with her half-brother Sikandar Kher.

But if you look at her, she does not show signs of stress and despair (as can be seen in below photo).

We hope that she retains her composure in order to toughen herself in the road to Bollywood fame and stardom. After all, she appears to have the talent and connections to make it. She is a close friend of director Sameer Sharma, who recommended her to Akhilesh Jaiswal. Prior to "Mastram", she has worked in the casting department of Yashraj Films and went to acting courses in Mumbai and California.

Here's the video trailer of her film debut.

Bharat Ka Veer Putra - Maharana Pratap Female Actresses: Rajshree Thakur and Aashka Goradia | Photos | Video

If you are glued to streaming TV sites like me, you probably are a fan of the Hindu historical teledrama by Abhimanyu Raj Singh: "Bharat Ka Veer Putra - Maharana Pratap" (see photo of its promotional poster below).  The TV series based on a 16th century Hindu Rajput ruler of Mewar, a northwestern Indian region, which is now the Rajasthan state. Its episodes were originally broadcast by Sony Entertainment Television India.

The main character is played by Shakti Anand. But in this blog, we are featuring its hot and sexy female stars, particularly Rajshree Thakur and Aashka Goradia.

In the "Maharana Pratap...", Rajshree Thakur (see photo) is playing the role of Maharani Jaivantabai, the mother of the main character. Her eyes are really pretty. I would not mind if she was my naughty aunty!

But enough of my fantasies, she was born on September 22, 1981 in Mumbai, Maharashtra. This beautiful dusky-skinned celebrity became a popular TV actress through the drama series "Saat Phere", where played the role of Saloni. In the 2006 Indian telly awards, she won the Best Fresh Face of the Year - Female award, along with Prachi Desai.

The next female actress of "Bharat Ka Veer Putra - Maharana Pratap" that caught our attention is the charming Aashka Goradia (see below). She was born on November 27, 1985 in Ahmedabad. She is also known by her other screen names: Kalavati and Zainab.

She has been active in the business since 2002, through the show "Achanak 37 Saal Baad". In our featured TV serial, she plays the role of Dheer Bai Bhatiyani, where her acting continues to shine with each episode.

Kaanchi Actress, Bollywood Newcomer Mishti | Photos | Video

Now showing in cinemas in the Subhash Ghai-directed romantic film "Kaanchi: The Unbreakable". It runs for 142 minutes and features Kartik Tiwari and newcomer actress Mishti as lead characters, supported by experienced actors Mithun Chakraborty and Rishi Kapoor. She really has a fresh pretty face that is almost virginal (see photo, below)!

Her debut-film revolves around the story of a rural beauty, played by Mishti, who fights against suppression and injustice. It is also about her love story with Kartik Tiwari's character.

Who is she? The innocent-looking Mishti (see photo) was born Indrani Chakraborty in West Bengal. Before she was discovered by director Subhash Ghai, she was an English teacher in a private educational institution in Kolkata. This acclaimed director really has an eye for beauty and talent (after all, he also "discovered" the legendary Madhuri Dixit!)

Right after "Kaanchi", she is also cast in the Bengali film "Porichoi", directed by Ms. Rupali Guha that tackles the plight of Asian migrants living in Britain. In the film, she plays the role of Rimi, a desi girl who came to live with her father in the United Kingdom after being separated from him for 12 years. I expect this film to be a real heartbreaking drama. I wonder how Indian audiences would accept this.

Hot and sexy Indian actress, model and former beauty queen Esha Gupta (see photo, below) was born on November 28, 1985 in New Delhi India. Since her debut with the box-office hit and Kunal Deshmukh movie "Jannat 2", she is now one of the most recognized pretty faces of Bollywood.

Her sweet smiles and voluptuous body are truly a sight to behold. Just look at her images in this post, including her poses from the 2010 Kingfisher Calendar. I personally fantasize having to kiss her full-pout lips, which can only be rivaled by no other than Angelina Jolie!

Before catching the limelight by competing in the Femina Miss India beauty pageant in 2007, Esha Gupta was a student of Manipal Institute in Karnataka, taking up Mass Communication.

In 2010, Esha Gupta was featured in the famous Kingfisher Calendar in 2010, which is one of the most prestigious modeling assignments in India. The calendar, published yearly by the United Breweries Group of India, has previously showcased swimsuit photos of models and actresses such as Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone (see below).

She is really sexy! In 2013, she ranked #55 in FHM India's 100 Sexiest Women in the World!
