mum's the word

Model Sonalika Sahay has been missing of the scene since a few months now. Even the fashion scene seemed a bit down lately so it wouldnt be surprising if someone thought she's out of the scene out of boredom. But according to news reports sonalika has just turned a mom a month or so back. Surely the glow on her skin will be more next time we see her at the fashion week. Good wishes to sonalika from our Desi Babes and Hunks Team.

Nina Manuel Looking Gorgeous in a Saree

We all have seeen this vivaciously charming girl in almost every page3 & happening party in mumbai , we've seen her in some really sexy & skimpy outfits , but my this dusky hottie looks as sexy in a saree as anyone else.

Bhawna Sharma - Indian Super Model

Bhawna is one of those models whom you just get to see on the ramp or in print, hardly have seen her in any commercials or music videos. She does posses an amazing ramp presence. Bhawna was a Semi-Finalist @ Miss India 2000 contest. She also has won the Lycra MTV Style Award (Model on Ramp) in 2004.

Shyla Lopez

Shyla Lopez was Miss India 1992 , has modelled extensively & you have seen her in quite a lot of sexy remix music videos. This kannadiga stood 10th in the miss world contest that year too. She did a small brgade movie called boys & girls ..and since has disappeared from the scene completely , rumor has it that she has married off & shifted base to russia along with her husband Vladislav Vershinin, an investment banker from Moscow.



Couple of Music Videos Starring Shyla Lopez

Rani Mukherjee - Queen Bee

Rani of late has been doing just a couple of movies every year , that too mostly of the yashraj or yashjohar camp. The last few have been duds KANK & TRRP. Sanjay Bhansal's Saawariya has her in an special appearance ..the stars of the movie being ranbir kapoor & sonam kapoor , although rumor has it that their special appearance (salman khan) will be more than just a small guest role. The other interesting movie rani is Pradeep sarkar's Laaga Chunari Mein Daag (2007), its a pretty bold subject about how a middle class girl becomes a prostitute , the yash camps seem hell bent to making movies on serious adult subjects thus betraying their fan following who is more into sugary cinema than anything else.



The Queen bee in Raja Ki Ayegi Baraat (1997) along with amjad khan's son Shadaab Khan (who again acted with her in highly underrated movie Hey Ram (2000) )

Sapna Kumar - Delhi Model

Sapna Kumar model & stylist from the capital.

According to Supermodel nayanika chatterjee "sapna kumar has perfect measurements, not too worked out, yet toned. she has the right curves and yet is slim."

However havent seen sapna in anything other than the modelling shows , not in any commercials on the tube, neither any music videos or films.

Carol Gracias - Indian Model

Big Brother's Indian Version Bigg Boss housemate carol gracias became a household name via the show. She was very much a well established ramp model but the relality tv show is what catapulted her to fame& being a household name. One might think after the success of the show , we would have seen more of carol on the screen , maybe some tv host job , maybe even some commercials, but that doesnt seem to have happpend, seems lik carol is back doing the fashion ramp shows , and probably thats where she fits in best.

Munmun, Raima & Riya Sen

The Sensational sen trio Munmun & her daughters riya & raima sen. There are always talks on casting film families together, the deols have done it , the bacchans have done it too, the kapoors have done it more frequently (barring the kareena karishma kapoor sisters) , however we have never heard of anyone casting riya raima togehter along with their mom , me thinks among the current sister actress lots - shilpa shamita shetty , malaika - amrita arora , the sen sister are really the ones which have the maxium oomph factor , the sultry sensual raima sen who can well fit into the classical actress look & the downright sexy riya sen , these bongs bombshell sisters will surely look great on screen together , with their eternally charming & highly underrated actress mother munmun sen.

Ujjwala Raut

Ujjwala Raut can be called as the most accomplished model of indian origin on the foreign circuit. Ujjwala has walted the ramp for the best of the designers world over.
This 5'10" lovely lady has been missing from the indian fashion circuit offlate. We do see her in an odd lakme fashion week show or judging some paegent.

Aditi Govitrikar

Aditi Govitrikar's claim to fame other than being a top most model , being a gladrags supermodel & being crowned Mrs. World in 2001, however aditi could surely would have done a lot more better if she could act a little, she tries her hand ever so often with bollywood with some really odd choice odd movies mostly brgaders like madhubala which was based on casting couch in the film industry, naturally no one really knows when such movies come & go. Her modelling career still hasnt quite ended & one can see her in innumerable commercials , she does look really fit & in shape always.

Alesia Yanovskaya

No its not some wierd mixture of yana gupta & alesia raut , but its the very much married alesia raut's name , the half russian lolita half marathi mulgi has been seen recently walking the ramp, seems like shes back in town , hopefully she'll make it to the lifw for there are still loads of fans of this beri ke ber girl alesia raut.

Diana Hayden

Diana Hayden was Miss World 1997. Diana tried her hand at bollywood too with a couple of movies. She also hosted Biographies on the history channel a short while back. In the news recently for building homes for the needy and poor in Los Angeles truly a good deal miss hayden there seems to be nothing to do for in india i guess, right ?

Yukta Mookhey

Yukta Mookhey was a miss world , kinda hard to belive i guess, but she was Miss World 1999 , the 5'11 beauty tried her hands at bollywood as well , after her disastrous Pyaasa (2002) which was nothing more than a sleazy bgrader, she has nothing on her plate. Nowdays all we see of her is at some film premiers giving interview to page3 shows.

Shriya Saran

Shriya Saran is easily the top most actress in the south indian film industry today , shriya was also the automatic choice for Rajnikanth's comeback movie Sivaji.
Her stint with bollywood has been sour , mostly acting with Bgrade heroes like aryan babbar, emran hashmi ,etc.

Sri Lankan Hottie Jacqueline Fernandez

Incredibly gorgeous Jacqueline Fernandez is now very much walking the ramp in india & probably is knocking at bollywood's door too.

Happened to see her in a music video with some sri lankan cricketers (vaas & jayasurya trying to shake a leg), the song is kinda catchy , but too less of jackie in it.

Sexy Voluptuous Allwoman - Diandra Soares

Diandra has to be the sexiest indian supermodel , as fleur xavier puts it "shes got her own style, her own personality , shes not one of the rat pack, thats what makes a good model a supermodel"
Her voluptuous figure lets her have the most sexiest clothes on stage. As designer Rocky S puts it "shes got this sex appeal ,whenever shes on my show she gets the most sexiest strong clothes in the show"


A small video from Zee Trendz to know diandra better.

Diya Abraham

Another beauty that has disappeared from the scene. Bangalore babe Diya Abraham was Miss India finalist 1997, Femina Look of the Year finalist 1995 and Miss International runner up, 1997. The only couple of times i recall seeing her in something was the DJ Suketu song 'pyaar zindagi hai' & the chandrika soap commercial ..er or was it medimix.

Bipasha Basu

Bipasha Basu's 'kiss' with footballer Cristiano Ronaldo made headlines around the world, it was the talk of the town that the poster boy of football & an bollywood actress. And all that was needed for the world to know bipasha basu, and as soon as it happens we heart that she signed an international manager for handly her work in hollywood. All but seems like a huge media stunt including the much hyped breakup with John. Where Mallika Failed, Aishwarya Faltered , Bipasha will conquer. Shilpa perhaps couldnt captitalise much on her big brother stardom, sure there were product endorsements but no big movies roles seem to have fallen her way. Bipasha just might be the dark horse in hollywood.

Madhu Sapre

Marathi mulgi Madhu Sapre now settled in a small town called Rimini in Italy as far away.

Might i add she was the best thing about Boom

Svetha Jaishankar

Shweta Jaishankar or Mrs Shweta Mahesh Bhupati was a semifinalist in the 1998 Femina Miss India Pageant and Second Runner-Up in the 1998 Miss International Beauty Pageant in Japan. This 5'11" iyer beauty has been mostly out of the public eye since her marraige with tennis ace mahesh bhupati.

Tina Chatwal

Miss India Asia Pacific 2002 Tina Chatwal. A dentist by education , tina modelled quite a lot , was also rumoured to be working with yash chopra but nothing materliased , nowadays not seen her anywhere frankly.

Amanpreet Wahi

Amanpreet Wahi - Delhi Based Indian Supermodel
Always has that smirkish smile on her on ramp which really makes her stand out, lot of models seems to go for deadpan expressions or the i'll-bash-you-up look , many aspiring models can learn from amanpreet for sure.

Amanpreet Wahi on delhi's illtreatment to musician Simon Webbe , "It was horrible, I was feeling so embarrassed. If this is the way we want to treat foreign performers, then we better not invite them in the first place. No wonder all these famous stars from abroad don't want to perform in the capital."

She was there along with her fiancee Raghav Narula.

Sindhura Gadde

Andhraiete Sindhura Gadde. Sindhura Gadde is acting in her debut film directed by Rasool. The film is produced by Manoranjan Movies.

Amruta Patki

Amruta was was crowned Miss Earth Air at the Miss Earth pageant last year & an award for the Best Gown. Out of the three finalists last year , amruta was the best of the three (although she was the second runner up).

Looking at her moves here, bollywood surely becons

Vida Samadzai

Miss Afghanistan 2003 Vida Samadzai has really taken well to india, besides the ramp shows , one can see her everywhere movie premieres, page3 parties etc. This pashtun girl sure has an eye on bollywood.

Nikita Anand

Nikita Anand was Femina Miss India Universe 2003. The bollywood bug hasnt bit her ...yet. Can be called as one of the most low profile miss india's in recent times.

Tanya Sharma

Tanya Sharma - One of the hot new models doing rounds at the fashion weeks in india.

Abhishek Bacchan - Aishwarya Rai's Third Husband ?

There were media reports recently that aishwarya was married off to a tree as she was a manglik & then also to a matka (earthen pot) & NO , tree & matka arent any codewords for salman & vivek , although both are 'wooden actors' so as to speak, ofcourse the bacchans deny this.
The marraige didnt go down well with many people & we are not just talking of salman & vivek here, apparently Dilip Kumar (one of the greatest indian 'actors') returned the wedding sweets back to amitabh.. ouch.

Southern Charms - Priyamani & Trisha

Southern Beauties from Tamil Nadu - Priyamani & Trisha



Rumor has it that trisha will soon be seen in a bollywood movie. Priyamani on the other hand seems to have no such aspirations. Tamil girls have a certain naughtiness to them , always a chuckling smile.

Vaishali Ramaswamy

Vaishali_Ramaswamy -Another one of those Elite models who we are seeing a lot lately on the ramp.

Anurita Jha

Delhiete Anurita Jha is the winner of channel v get gorgeous contest 2006.

Neha Ahuja

Piya on ramp

Nethra Raghuraman

Nethra isnt half a bad actress as models are made out to be , she has chosen her work well & has given good performances specially in bhopal express & forgotten showers.

For the Mugdha Godse Fan

Gladrags Supermodel Puneite Mugdha Godse. Deepika Padukone surely has lot of hype surrounding her , however this girl mugdha could well quietly steal away all the thunder, waiting to see if she has any good offers along the way & doesnt accept any 2nd leads.

Marathi Mulgi Mugdha setting the ramp on fire



She has also done innumerable commercials , here is one of Maharashtra Tourism

Priya Reddy

Banglore model Priya Reddy was the shared second runner up at Pantene-Zoom Elite Model Look of 2004. However she is more prominently known as being linked to cricketer harbhajan singh.

Vipasha Agarwal

Lakme Face Vipasha Agarwal made her debut with I See You (2006)which no one really saw.
Does bear a very striking resemblance to a young salma hayek , which says a lot , although vipasha is hardly seen anywhere in the media , not in page 3 parties nor any filmy events. Would love to see more of her on screen or ramp.

Elite Model Diana Penty

I think she is one of the best faces to hit the scene in quite some time now.
rediff ran a small article on her & at the end gave a very Overall rating: 7+ out of 10. Id give her 8.5 as a model , she looks very 'sweet' would do more if she smiled a bit.
