Sushmita Sen and "Do Not Disturb"

The actresses in Bollywood must really be competitive.
I keep reading about their Diva like behavior and catty remarks to other actresses.
And they seem to be threatened very easily.
Even actresses that are famous for getting along with other stars are affected.
Case in point.....

"Inside sources from Do Knot Disturb claim Sushmita Sen is having sleepless nights over her role in her upcoming David Dhawan comedy Do Knot Disturb. It is a multi star cast film starring Govinda, Lara Dutta, Ritesh Deshmukh and Sohail Khan along with her.
Our sources reveal, “The film for the first time brings together two former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen and Lara Dutta. But Sush is not really insecure about her role being shortened as compared to a much younger and hotter Lara."

Of course it's not just Sushmita.
If you read this blog you've seen several similar stories about other Bollywood stars.

But it appears their fears are not unfounded.
Just recently Pantene ended a long relationship with Sushmita in favor of South Indian actress Asin.

Besides "Do Not Disturb", Sushmita is working on a Tamil film "Marmayogi" this year.

Manisha Koirala Comback

Manisha Koirala was born on August 16, 1970 in Kathmandu, Nepal.
She is a Nepali actress who works in Indian films, although she has appeared in a number of Tamil films.
Manisha is also an accomplished Bharatnatyam and Manipuri dancer.

After being out of the spotlight for awhile, Manisha is trying for a comeback in Bollywood.
She is making the rounds, and she got some good press when designer Maheka Mirpuri announced at the unveiling of her new fashion collection ‘Pure Optimism’, that Manisha had been her "muse".

And this year she will be appearing in Deepti Naval's "Do Paise Ki Dhoop, Char Aane Ki Barish", Jahnu Barua's new movie and Mani Ratnam's "Raavan" (set for release in 2010).

Riya Sen in Zor Laga ke Haiya

Bollywood actress Riya Sen is getting a lot of press for her new role in the upcoming Hindi film "Zor Laga ke Haiya".
Riya has discarded her sultry glamorous look to take on the role of a construction worker named Chamki.
The movie is directed by Girish Joshi and is about an egotistical award winning sculptor (played by Mithun Chakraborthy) who can not adjust to the times he is living in.
Riya plays a Marathi girl that works as a construction worker.
Besides Riya and Mithun, the movie also stars Mahesh Manjrekar, Seema Biswas, Megan, Ayesha Kaduskar, Hardik Thakkar, Ritvik Tyagi and Ashwin Chitale.
"Zor Laga ke Haiya" will be released sometime in May of this year.

Bollywood Actress Shilpa Shetty News

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty will be marrying her fiance Raj Kumdra in October of this year, but until then, they are renovating a 5 million pound Surrey home at St George's Hill.
Shilpa seems to be getting into the country life, saying that she can't wait to start raising a family there.

The home isn't the only thing Shilpa and Raj co-own.
They are also co-owners of the Rajasthan Royals, a franchise cricket team that represents the state of Rajasthan in the IPL (Indian Premier League).
Last year, the Royals won the inaugural DLF IPL T-20 Tournament.
Of course Shilpa isn't the only Bollywood celeb to invest in the Twenty20 format of the game.
Shahrukh Khan, Juhi Chawla and Preity Zinta also have interests in the Twenty20 format.

Shilpa also has two movies coming out this year, "The Man" and "The Desire".

Sonam Kapoor News

Sonam Kapoor was born on June 9, 1985 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
She is an Indian actress who appears in Bollywood movies.

Considered by many to be a talented and upcoming actress, Sonam may have been in the right place at the right time.
She appeared with Abhishek Bachchan in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Delhi-6.
The movie was released on February 20, 2009 and did well at the box office, but the film got generally mixed reception from the Indian critics.
However, after the Oscar performance of the Mumbai-set "Slumdog Millionaire" world critics have gotten behind the movie.
The Bollywood film was praised by the Los Angeles Times and the Village Voice in New York City.
Of course it hasn't hurt that the movies music was composed by Oscar winner A.R. Rahman.
And even better is the fact that Sonam's father Anil Kapoor was also in Slumdog Millionaire.

Sonam is now set to star in Anil Kapoor’s newest production, ‘Ayesha’, an adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel ‘Emma’.
