Bipasha Basu almost singlehandedly redefined sexiness in Bollywood. As one of the most sizzling actress turns a year older we take a look back at the 31 years of her life. Nicknamed Bonny, the 5′8″ tall actress was born on January 7, 1979 in New Delhi. Bipasha is the second of three sisters. Her parents who were based in Delhi, later moved to Kolkata. As a kid, Bipasha was very mischivieous, in her own words “the Lady Goonda of the neighbourhood.”

Kareena Kapoor’s lovemaking scene in Kurbaan with beau Saif Ali Khan has been the talking point for months. Kareena even admitted that she may have done the lovemaking scene with another actor, but it wouldn’t be as explicit. “At the end of day, Saif and I are professional actors and would do whatever a script demands,” she said.
She also said that it was integral to the script and was happy that director Rensil D’Silva had done it so aesthetically. However, news has it that after watching the cast and crew trial of Kurbaan at Yash Raj Studios, Kareena, who was very nervous about the bare-back scene, put in a request to friend and filmmaker Karan Johar asking him to delete the lovemaking scene in just the one show which would be attended by her mother Babita and her friends.
A nervous Bebo wasn’t sure how her mother would react to seeing her do something so bold on screen. “I asked Karan if he could hide that one reel only from mom’s trial,” said the actress. However, Karan is said to have pacified his lead actor and told her she has no reason to be afraid. Karan is also said to have told her in jest, “Shut up Bebo, and go take a walk. I’m doing no such thing.”

It is official — after much speculation Shilpa is finally engaged to beau Raj Kundra on October 24.

Sherlyn Chopra says in a intrview with times of india
” I speak about my breast implant when asked” “Very big dreams,” she says, continuing, “I believe in the Almighty God who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly far more and above what I can ever dare to hope, ask or dream. I think of myself as competent enough to compete with the best.” She admits to a past she’d like to put behind. “Earlier, I lived in the world of mediocrity. But today, I value excellence and choose to associate with people who pursue it.”
And while she’s building her body of work, there has been talk as well about her body. To be specific, her breasts. Sherlyn is outspoken about her body, and the decision to get them surgically enhanced must have been
a tough one. “Earlier, I felt like a boy. Not any more.
Thanks to breast implants. I speak about my breasts only upon being asked. I find ‘No Comments’ a very uninteresting way to respond to a question.”
