Kareena Kapoor is on a Hign

Kareena Kapoor is on a high. She is getting one film offer every day and receives more than 300 SMSes daily. The actress says her career has started looking up ever since Saif Ali Khan entered her life.

'This is the best phase in my life. And I feel I'm in a place where I've never
been before.'Commenting upon her career, she said: 'I'm a lucky girl. I'm
being offered one film every day. Normally a Bollywood actress does about
40 days' work. My directors are taking about 100 days with me.
I've already given Karan (Johar) 100 days for his film directed by
Rensil D'Silva.'


'Saif is extremely loving and supportive. In fact, the best phase of my
career started when Saif came into my life. Now he's enjoying this phase
in my life along with me. That makes this phase even more special,'
Kareena told IANS.

Many people gave her relationship with Saif no more than six months.
Reacting to that, Kareena said: 'There's absolutely no room for such
negativity in my life. I only have place for people who are positive and
who make me happy by sharing in my happiness.

Q: People gave your relationship with Saif no more than six months?
A: There's absolutely no room for such negativity in my life. I only have

place for people who are positive and who make me happy by sharing

in my happiness. This is the best phase in my life. And I feel I'm in a

place where I've never been before. As an actress I feel everyone and

that includes me, expects things from me that are not generally

expected from Bollywood actresses except maybe Kajol. Or my sister

Karisma.

Q: Do you get enough time with Saif?
A: He's extremely loving and supportive. He knows how long it's taken

me to get the work that I'm getting now. In fact, the best phase of my

career started when Saif came into my life. Now he's enjoying this phase

in my life along with me. That makes this phase even more special.

The only thing I miss is time with my family and Saif. When I finish this

schedule I head straight to Venice for Sajid Nadiadwala's 'Kambakht Ishq'.

Q: What are you doing in this guy-oriented cast of Rajkumar Hirani's

Idiots'?
A: I've an effective role. And no power on this earth would've made me

miss the chance of working with Hirani. I'm a lucky girl. I'm being offered

one film every day. I don't have time to read scripts. I'll do so in March

2009 after I finish my current lot of films which includes Karan Johar's

film with Saif. Normally a Bollywood actress does about 40 days' work.

My directors are taking about 100 days with me. I've already given

Karan 100 days for his film directed by Rensil D'Silva.

Q: No marriage for four-five years?
A: I know, I definitely want to. But not at least for three years.

The work I'm doing is giving me so much satisfaction. No

28-year-old can ask for more.


Q: Perseverance? You've begun to sound like Saif.
A: Yes, my vocabulary has increased. He makes me memorise some

pages of the Oxford dictionary every day, ha ha. That's a joke.

But seriously, he does speak very well. So I'm trying to catch up.

Siren of the Week Hansika Motwani Bollywood Actress

17 year old Hansika Motwani is making rapid strides in Tollywood as well as Bollywood. Making her debut in Hindi with the Hrithik Roshan-starrer, 'Koi Mil Gaya' (2003), Hansika has entered the big league in no time.
In Telugu, her debut film 'Desamuduru', opposite Allu Arjun, was a big hit. The same was the case with her Bollywood debut (in the lead), 'Aap Ka Suroor', opposite Himesh Reshammiya.
Hansika has a few good projects awaiting her in 2009. It seems the hottie with the knockout looks is a "Lambi race ki Ghodi"!

Her Telugu film with Jr. NTR, 'Kantri', was a moderate hit

She made her debut in Kannada with the Puneet Rajkumar-starrer, 'Bindaas'.

Hansika Motwani was born on August 9, 1991, in Mumbai to Pradeep Motwani and Mona Motwani. She can speak Telugu, English, Hindi and Tulu.

She debuted as a leading actress in Bollywood with 'Aap Ka Suroor - The Real Love Story'. The film was a big hit. Her last Hindi release 'Money Hai Toh Honey Hai', opposite Govinda, was not successful.

Hansika made her debut in Tollywood with Puri Jagannadh's 'Desamuduru', opposite Allu Arjun. The film is about a crime reporter who falls in love with a sannyasi, played by Hansika.

The Sexiest backs of Bollywood Actresses

She may have started off her filmy career as the sweet girl-next door in films like 'Koi Mere Dil Se Pooche' and 'Na Tum Jaano Na Hum', but it was only post 'Dhoom' that people stood up and took notice of Esha Deol. Having been criticized for carrying some extra flab, Esha hit the gym with a vengeance and looked smokin' hot as she donned the bikini in 'Dhoom'. Since then, Esha has been known as the pretty girl with a wild streak. Not surprising that she has got herself inked with not just one but two tattoos on her sexy back.

If elder sister Malaika is regarded as this ultimate style diva, younger sister Amrita is not far behind. Amu, as she is fondly called, is quite a showstopper at parties and red carpet premieres. Here, Amrita shows off her sexy back at the premiere of 'Hello'.

Malaika Arora Khan is like wine, getting better and more clickable with each passing day. Considered as one of the sexiest of style icons, Malaika rarely ever commits a fashion faux pas. The camera just can't seem to stop loving her. This 'Yummy Mummy' is seen strutting her stuff and posing for the shutterbugs in this shimmering blue backless number.

'Fashion' and 'Dostana' redefined sexuality on Indian screen. Priyanka played a supermodel in 'Fashion' with a scary tinge of realism, and 'Dostana' saw her playing the ultra glam Desi gal opposite Abhishek and John Abraham. She also did a Desi Lara Croft act in 'Drona'.

She made Size Zero the 'In'-thing in Bollywood, redefined her sex appeal and flaunted her hot bod in 'Tashan'. She was also a hit at Page 3 parties (with beau Saif hand-in-hand) with some classy designer wear. Together, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena earn the crown for the most stylish couple of Bollywood.

Bipasha Basu was the toast of two of the biggest hits of 2008 - 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' and 'Race'. The sultry siren sizzled on screen and shared impeccable chemistry with her co-stars, Ranbir Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan.

Deepika Padkuone played the ultra modern and confident Gayatri in 'Bachna Ae Haseeno'. She has already shot an item number in Shah Rukh Khan's 'Billo Barber'. In 'Chandni Chowk to China', Deepika will be seen as a femme fatale taking on the action king, Akshay Kumar.

Voted the most searched name on the web in India, Katrina Kaif is currently the most successful actress in Bollywood. Kat shocked audiences with her sexy makeover in Abbas Mustan's 'Race'. She had steered clear of glam doll roles until now (forget ‘Boom’), opting for performance-based roles
Amrita Rao has always been known for her sweet and simple image which she has portrayed so effectively in films like 'Ishq Vishk', 'Vivah' and 'Shikhar'. However, all those of you wondering if she can pull off the Sexy Tag, need to check out this pic where Amrita poses for the shutterbugs in this purple cocktail dress which gives us more than a sneak peek of her oh-so-sexy back.
