Bengali, Hindi Film Queen Vidya Balan | Hot Photos | Movies List

Born on January 1, 1978 in Ottalam, Kerala, Vidya Balan is an Indian actress of the Bengali and Hindi languages. Although she has won countless citations and nominations from Filmfare Awards, her path to recognition by critics was not easy and smooth, to say the least.

Our featured Bollywood celebrity first appeared in the limelight as an image model for brands such as Surf, Excel, Pond's, Baja, etc. Soon she entered acting in in big screen in 2003 but suffered a string of unsuccessful projects until 2003.

Her breakthrough came through Pradeep Sarkar's musical drama, the Hindi movie "Parineeta", in 2005. Her role as Lalita was recognized by critics and she was nominated for Best Actress in the Filmfare Awards. From then on, Vidya Balan was offered more challenging roles, which honed her talent in acting.

In 2009, through the motion picture "Paa", she was universally recognized, by critics and moviegoers alike, as a Bollywood icon. Vidya has proved that she is way ahead of the plethora of Bollywood actresses who only have pretty faces and sexy bodies as their ticket to fame. But, of course, she also has irresistible physical beauty, as seen in photo below.

Here is her movies list (filmography): 

• 2003: Bhalo Theko
• 2005: Parineeta
• 2006: Lage Raho Munna Bhai
• 2007: Guru, Salaam-E-Ishq, Eklavya: The Royal Guard, Heyy Babyy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Om Shanti Om
• 2008: Halla Bol, Kismat Konnection
• 2009: Paa
• 2010: Ishqiya
• 2011: No One Killed Jessica, Urumi, Thank You, Dum Maaro Dum, The Dirty Picture
• 2012: Kahaani, Ferrari Ki Sawaari
• 2013: Bombay Talkies,Ghanchakkar, Shaadi Ke Side Effects

By the way, bad news for all aspiring suitors, she was married in 2012 to Siddhart Roy Kapur. Sorry!

Cute Curvy Bollywood Actress Anushka Sharma | Movies List | Photos

Former model Anushka Sharma is one cute but curvy Indian actress. She has won the hearts of millions of fans through her feel-good romantic movies (usually with her on-screen partner Ranveer Singh). Her charming and radiant face as seen in photo below:

Born on May 1, 1988, she made it to the big screen through Aditya Chopra's "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" in 2008. But she did not plan to become an actress.

At first, she wanted to make a career out of modeling. She started out at the Lakme Fashion Week, where Anushka was picked to be the finale model of its Spring Summer 2007 collection. Anushka then became a brand ambassador of several products including Silk and Shine, Whisper and Nathella Jewelry.

Fate decided to intervene, however. Talent scouts noticed her and invited her to try acting. Her movies - especially due to her sweet cute smiles and bubbly personality - were well received by fans. Romantic comedy appeared to be her specialty. Miss Sharma has won awards and nomination for her films, particularly for Jodi (2009), Band Baaja Baaraat (2011), Ladies vs Ricky Bahl (2012) and Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2013).

In the future, I hope to see more of the curvy Miss Sharma, not just in romantic movies but in more mature and adult roles.

Here is her movies list (filmography):

• 2008: Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
• 2010: Badmaash Company, Band Baaja Baaraat
• 2011: Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, Patiala House
• 2012: Jab Tak Hai Jaan
• 2013: Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
• 2014 (in production): P.K., Bombay Velvet
