Actress Yami Gautam : 2013 Bollywood's Best Female Debut, Latest Victim of Twitter Trolls | Photos | Video

Stop the presses! The Indian twitterverse is now bursting with jokes on pretty and talented Bollywood actress Yami Gautam (see photo), particularly on her brand endorsement of the Fair and Lovely fairness (whitening) cream.

Here's the video that created the "storm":

Twitter trolls have dished out everything against the beautiful desi celebrity. Here's a sample tweet by "Niral" (@niralsoni): "How to convert Black money into White? Just tap them with Yami Gautam's cheeks". Some people are just so mean!

To tell you the truth, I personally believe that these jokes on skin color, especially against dark skin, is so unfair and stupid. Real beauty is skin deep, so they say. Prejudice against dark-colored people is so outdated. These views belong to uncivilized slave and medieval societies, to eras when black people are regarded as commodities and (un)holy crusades were launched against Islam. There is only one race: the human race!

Enough. To the delight of our readers, we are featuring the profile of Miss Yami Gautam (see photo).

Born on November 28, 1988 in Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, she is best known for her role in the romantic comedy "Vicky Donor", for which she won the Best Female Debut from the Filmfare and Zee Cine awards. Before her appearance in films, she was first seen by the public in television commercials and soap operas such as "Yeh Pyar Na Hoga Kam" and "Chand Ke Paar Chalo".

Her filmography:

• 2010: Ullasa Utsaha
• 2011: Ek Noor, Nuvvila
• 2012: Vicky Donor, Hero
• 2013: Gouravam, Yuddham
• 2014: Total Siyappa, Tamilselvanum Thaniyar Anjalum, Courier Boy  Kalyan, Action Jackson

Alleged Playboy Cover Girl, Kamasutra 3D actress, singer Sherlyn Chopra | Photos | Music Video

Scandals have their way of creating public interest in a celebrity. Some bad news can be really damaging and can hurt one's career. Although there are rumors and intrigues that may turn out to be publicity stunts to stir interest to a public figure.

Some Bollywood actors can actually benefit from controversies. Among them is the alleged Playboy cover girl, singer and actress Sherlyn Chopra, who is now under the limelight due to her latest movie "Kamasutra 3D". The film is set to be released in English on May 2014.

It yet another movie inspired by the ancient Sankskrit classic by Vātsyāyana that tackles human sexuality. Yet, even without such hype, her looks alone is enough to make heads turn, especially from hot-blooded male audiences (see photo).

Sherlyn Chopra is cast to play the role of Kama Devi in "Kamasutra 3D". It has been shown at the prestiguous 66th Cannes Film Festival and at the Academy Awards. The filming the the said movie is finished. Yet, there are still speculation that she would be replaced by either Mila Kunis or Eva Longoria in the film's English release.

This uncertainty was created by the feud between the alleged Playboy cover-girl and the film's director Rupesh Paul. They have actually exchanges law suits against each other. I believe it is but a ploy and a media spin to entice the viewing public to watch her latest movie. By the looks of it, it seems that their plan is working!

After all, the hot singer Sherlyn Chopra has been known to concoct various publicity stunts. In July 2012, she announced in a press conference (see photo) that she would be on the cover of Playboy magazine. But I still couldn't find any copy of it on the Internet (and it has been two years)!

She has also posted her erotic (nude and semi-nude, according to Wikipedia) "selfies" on her Twitter account. The music video of her single "Bad Girl" became a viral hit on the web.

She seems to be just teasing the male movie-going public! Frankly, I am getting tired of her cheap tricks and endless antics.

Her filmography:

2002: Vendi Mabbu, University, Beeper
2005: A Film by Aravind, Time Pass, Dosti: Friends Forever
2006: Jawani Diwani: A Youthful Joyride, Something Special, Naughty Boy
2007: Game, Raqeeb, Red Swastik
2009: Dil Bole Hadippa!
2014: Kamasutra 3D

Kerala Actress/Model Trisha Krishnan: Animal Love Personified | Photos | Video

If there is a Bollywood actress who could personify love for animals, it is no other than the Kerala-born beauty Trisha Krishnan (see photo).

Aside from being known as an actress and product endorser of various product brands, she is also recognized as a Goodwill Ambassador for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). Trisha is a dog lover. She appealed to the Indian public in 2010 to take care of stray dogs instead of pedigreed breeds.

I really believe that there is genuine kindness beneath her sweet and innocent smile. I love her! Here, she is posing with a cute dog for PETA's "Angel for Animals" campaign in below photo:

Born on May 4, 1983 in Kerala, this pretty desi girl won beauty pageants like Miss Madras in 1999 before being noticed by South Indian film makers. Soon she made her debut in a supporting role though the Tamil movie "Jodi".

It was not long before she was cast in lead roles that was noticed by fans and critics alike, most notably in critically-acclaimed box office hits "Aadavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule" in 2007 and "Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana" in 2005 (see filmography below).

As a celebrity, it is inevitable that Trisha Krishnan was implicated in several controversies and scandal. One of which was an almost three-minute nude bathing video that was propagated through the Internet in 2004. In 2010, she was reportedly on the list of a notorious Nigerian drug trafficker. In both cases, she sued the media for their unprofessional conduct and sensationalism. I totally agree. They are only exploiting her celebrity status to sell more newspapers and to attract more viewers.

Happy Birthday Poonam Pandey (Hottest Controversial Model-Starlet in India Today) | Photos | Video

Some people say that our featured Bollywood celebrity is showing some skin in a desperate attempt to remain in the public eye. I would list her profile (including her most controversial stunts) in this post.

But first, let me first greet Poonam Pandey a warm - no, hot - greetings of belated "Happy Birthday". I was an hour late. But that's okay. Who's she? Born on March 11, 1991 in Delhi, she is a hot and provocative Indian model and Bollywood film actress (see photo below).

Her first public appearance came through modeling as she was among the top eight finalists of the Gladrags contest in 2010. She appeared on the cover page of said magazine. Soon, the pretty model (see below photo) became a calendar for Gladrags and Kingfisher, in 2010 and 2011 respectively.

Poonam Pandey then gained prominence as she promised to strip naked if India won the Cricket World Cup in 2011. Such daringness and outright display of "national pride" was enough to create enough media attention that her name was among the top keywords searched in Google India. In 2012, she bared it all after the Kolkata Knight Riders became champions of the Indian Premiere League 5.

In 2013, she officially became an actress through her mature role in "Nasha", which was her first and only film as of this writing. We hope that someday Poonam Pandey soon outgrows relying on publicity stunts (skin showing like a cheap starlet) to advance her career as a serious actress in the Bollywood film industry.

Sri Lanka Gossip Target, Cricket Ambassador Jacqueline Fernandez | Photos | Vedio

Don't let her Latina sounding surname fool you. Hot Indian actress Jacqueline Fernandez (see below photo) is as desi as spicy masala/curry. Born on August 11, 1985 in Bahrain to family with mixed ethnicity, she has a father who is of Sri Lankan descent and a Canadian-Malaysian mother.

After graduating with a Mass Communication course in Australia, she became a journalist and a part-time model in her home- country. It was not too long before she joined the said country's most prestigious beauty pageant, winning the Miss Sri Lanka Universe in 2006. Why she won could easily be answered by below photo!

A year after, she was featured in a music video of Sri Lankan pop-rap duo "Bathiya N Santhush", where she was noticed by talent scouts of the Indian film industry. She was first seen, as a full-pledged actress, in the movie "Aladin". She now has a string of commercially successful films to her credit, notably Murder 2, Housefull 2 and Race 2.

Along with product endorsements, she is also the brand ambassador of "Mumbai Heroes", a team led by Sohail Khan in India's Celebrity Cricket League (CCL).

Because of her celebrity status, Jacqueline Fernandez has been a favorite target of gossip and rumors. Her relationships (both true and imagined) with director Sajid Khan, Bahraini prince Shaikh Hassan Bin Rashid Al Khalifa, and actor Salman Khan have spread like wildfire. I dare say, that's the price to pay if you're famous!
