Derriere Bollywood

I don't think any explanations are necessary!

The Stunning Shibani Kashyap

Shibani Kashyap is not just another pretty face. She's a talented Indian singer, musician and composer, who will be acting in the new Bollywood movie, MAIN OSAMA. She has her own website, too: www.shibanikashyap.com, where you can hear some of her music and see more of her photos.

We Should Have A Talk Show Host Like This!

A resounding wow to this Indian talk show hostess, Pooja Bedi. A former Bollywood actress, Pooja now hosts the Indian celebrity talk show, JUST POOJA. Just Pooja? I'm fine with that!

Not only does the lovely Pooja host her own show, she is a columnist with the Times of India and has written for other publications as well. She is also the mother of two children, which shows you that moms can be hot too!

Getting Together with Friends

It's nice getting together with friends, particularly when they are Indian friends and when they just happen to be females. Ah, the laughter and the fun!

Aishwarya Rai Dances!

In Super Widescreen!

The Days Get Hotter

Perhaps not yet, but it is good to start sampling the appropriate clothing for the summer months. Don't you think?

I Can Believe It

I can believe that Aishwarya Rai is the most beautiful woman in the world. Or is considered as such. What do you think?

Bond Girl or Not?

Indian film actress Shilpa Shetty has been rumored as a forthcoming Bond girl for a while now, but with the newest James Bond film, QUANTUM OF SOLACE, well into production, it doesn't seem as if Shilpa will get the call from the Bond producers. There's always next time, of course, and it would be wonderful to see a real Indian woman make the Bond grade. (A lost opportunity occurred with the Roger Moore Bond film, OCTOPUSSY, which, despite being set in India, did not have the main female lead played by an Indian actress.)

Another Indian Beauty

Simran's "Sex-cellent" Juicy Yummy Navel

According to the YouTube poster, a good way to describe this:



I am so there. I think you too, my friend.

What a Real Woman Looks Like

Telugu Cinema actress Bhuvaneswari shows us why the anorexic American and European model and actress look is for the birds, and why men prefer real women with real women shapes. Can you feel the tension?

Party Time

Seems like a very nice party.

Rinke Khanna

This Tamil actress is only 5 feet tall. She made her film debut in 1999 and retired from movies by 2004!

Street Scenes 3

We continue to walk the streets, enlightened and inspired.

Street Scenes 2

Walking the streets is good exercise. And nice sights can be seen.

Street Scenes 1

Former Miss India Worldwide and fashion model, and now Bollywood actress, Aarti Chhabria, has a sit down on the street. Lucky passersby!

Simran's Moves

Indian actress, Simran, who plays mostly in Tamil films, shows her moves in this curious clip that focuses on her navel and posters of someone very authoritarian. Apparently he is the love object/hero of the film (which may be KOODHI).

Looking Good in Times Square

Kollywood and Tollywood actress Anushka Shetty in the middle of New York's Times Square. Looking very good, indeed.

(Kollywood refers to the Tamil film industry centralized in Kodambakkam, while Tollywood refers to the Telugu film industry.)

Most Popular "Vulgarian" Actresses

That's what the person who uploaded this video on YouTube thinks. I guess "vulgarian" is a good thing!

Tech Support?

After seeing this photo, I will think about Tech Support differently if I get an Indian female's voice on the other line. Che bella!

Meera Jasmine

Meera Jasmine is known as a "regional" actress, meaning that she does not work in Bollywood cinema, which technically does not describe Indian cinema as a whole, but the cinema arising out of Bombay. As you can see by Meera's photo, regional actresses tend to look more like the classical Indian woman than their Bollywood counterparts, who prefer to imitate a more Western look, sometimes with the help of surgery. (Some of those noses look a little too pert!) Regional actresses also tend to have body shapes more representative of natural women, rather than bodies that aim for Western fashion ideals of thinness. There's just more woman there to hold and love!

This photo is from her newest film, NEPALI:

Kiran Desai

Born in New Delhi, 36-year-old Kiran Desai is the youngest recipient of the prestigious Man Booker Prize for her novel THE INHERITANCE OF LOSS (in 2006). Until the age of 14 she lived in India and then briefly moved on to England with her mother (author Anita Desai), before settling in America for her higher education. Kiran's beauty is more traditional Indian, and soulful, than the Bollywood actresses whose photos grace Indian websites and blogs. Some nice photos of her prove that beauty and brains can be expressive partners at times.

The Most Desirable Indian Women

Or at least that's the title of this 21-minute show that's on YouTube. Most are Bollywood actresses; there may be a model or two in there someplace, but even then, they are probably making a film right now! I have to disagree with the #1 selection, however.

The Most Beautiful Woman in the World?

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai --



-- has been called "the most beautiful woman in the world," but while we think that she is indisputably stunning, other Indian women can lay claim to that coveted title. (Beauty is also in the eyes of the beholder, so different eyes, different prize.) Here is one Bollywood actress who is equally stunning and perhaps has more animal sex appeal: Malaika Arora Khan --

Introduction

What better introduction than a beautiful Indian woman.
