Stunning Indian Model-Actress Asin Thottumkal | Photos

I don't know about you but I think Indian actress Asin Thottumkal looks like a twin of Penelope Cruz, a Hollywood actress and ex-wife of global superstar Tom Cruise.

Born on October 26, 1985 to a Syro-Malabar Catholic family, this model-actress has been the cover girl of magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Cine Blitz, Femina, FHM, Filmfare, Grazia, Hi Blitz, Marie Claire, Prevention, Verve and Vogue India. We couldn't agree more. After all, Asin has a sweet smile and voluptuous body that could easily make subscribers out of innocent on-lookers! Not only did she start at modeling at the tender age of 14, Asin Thottumkal is also trained in Bharatnatyam and folkdance.

It is said that she could speak seven languages, including Malayalam (her mother tongue), Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, French, English and Sanskrit.  Being multi-lingual, she has appeared in various films (not just in South Indian cinema where she started).

She starred in Hindi films, "Housefull 2", "Bol Bachchan", "Khiladi 786" (2012), "Ready" (2011), "London Dreams" (2009), and "Ghajini" (2008); in the Malayalam film, "Narendran Makan Jayakanthan Vaka" (2001); in Tamil films, "Kaavalan" (2011), "Dasavathaaram" (2008), "Aalwar", "Pokkiri", "Vel" in 2007, "Varalaru" (2006), "Ullam Ketkumae", "Ghajini", "Majaa", "Sivakasi" in 2005 and "M. Kumaran S/O Mahalakshmi" (2004). She has also starred in Telugu films, "Annavaram" (2006), "Chakram" (2005), "Lakshmi Narasimha", "Gharshana" (2004), and "Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi",

Bollywood playback singer Indian Sunidhi Chauhan | Photos

Have you ever encountered looking at a singer's face and as moments pass you suddenly notice that she's getting prettier with every note that she belts out? I know I have with Bollywood playback singer Sunidhi Chauhan!

What is a playback singer? Here's Wikipedia's definition: Someone "whose singing is pre-recorded for use in movies. Playback singers record songs for soundtracks, and actors or actresses lip-sync the songs for cameras, while the actual singer does not appear on screen".

Sunidhi Chauhan was first discovered by Indian cinema at the early age of four. But her big break came when she was 16 years old through the film "Mast" by Ram Gopal Varma, where she sang the hit song "Ruki Ruki Si Zindagi".

Since then she has lent her voice to many Bollywood actress including Rekha, Madhuri Dixit, Kajol, Sridevi, Aishwarya Rai, Preity Zinta, Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Bipasha Basu, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Urmila Matondkar, Shilpa Shetty, Sushmita Sen, Shamita Shetty, Lara Dutta, Dia Mirza, Esha Deol, Anushka Sharma, Parineeti Chopra, Jacqueline Fernandez, Konkona Sen Sharma, Gauhar Khan, Mumaith Khan and Rakhi Sawant.

But Sunidhi Chauhan's songs are not only for the South Asia. She has also made it in the global pop scene with a recording of the Hindi version of "Heartbeat" with Enrigue. Her single with Sanjoy Deb, "Ab Laut La", is now being played by disc jockeys (DJs) in various clubs and parties worldwide.
