Sonam Kapoor adores Nutan and Waheeda Rehman
She's a style icon already as far as the younger crop of stars are concerned, but Anil Kapoor's pretty daughter Sonam Kapoor says her own idea of classic beauty with brains is defined by the divas of yore.
"I simply adore Waheeda Rehman. From her acting to her choice of films it needed guts to choose movies like Pyaasa or Guide she went ahead with it.
I thought Guide was a very bold movie. Rosie has shades of grey, and her character is not the clean and traditional Bollywood heroine that was the norm then," she told After Hrs.
"I'm also very inspired by Nutan. I love her for her work in Bandini andSaraswatichandra.
Both have looked good and done path-breaking films. I love their quality of doing different things. They stood out as actors who are not just beautiful faces."
While Sonam herself may still be looking to make a definitive mark for herself in films, her sense of style has already won the approval of her peers and industry watchers. What's her secret? "I don't follow the herd and I have my own style fundas which I stick by. I think it's that which makes me stand out," says the Masakali girl.
Sonam has some advice for people who like her sense of dressing. "Just try to be yourself and don't copy anyone. It is individual style that grabs attention. I guess I'm very confident in any outfit I wear and that comes through. But the bottom line is that I love clothes," she says.
Despite her confidence, Sonam admits that getting into the skin of the character she plays in her forthcoming project Aisha has proved to be a big challenge for her. "I have gone through two months of intensive workshop with my acting coach Jayati Bhatia. The character of Aisha, inspired from Emma in Atonement, is not like me at all. I'm slightly nervous."
But music, she feels, is the key to getting it right. "I listen to the background score of Atonement to put me into the groove of the character. I'm a great fan of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pink Floyd, but for this one I'm listening to some Lady Gaga and Beyonce," she ends.

Bipasha Basu Maxim Photoshoot
There are a lot of reasons why Bipasha Basu deserves to be at numero unto spot on Maxim’s annual Hot 100 list.

Hrithik his wife Suzanne Barbara Mori permanent body ink
Three may be a crowd but that doesn’t seem to be the case when the threesome in question is Hrithik Roshan, his wife Suzanne and the much talked about Barbara Mori. Don’t take our word for it; see it for yourselves in permanent body ink.
No long ago, the married couple was keen to insert the word ‘happily’ into their union; they played down rumours of a split by showing off matching tattoos on their forearms. The 'coupley' symbol they chose was the Star of David, which is also associated with Judaism.
So imagine our surprise when it was noted that Barbara Mori has the same exact body art on the same exact spot on her body too. Surely not a coincidence but can it really be by design?
Suzanne is reportedly not a fan of the stunning actress, especially as Barbara’s alleged affair with Hrithik was the talk of the town for some time.
Priya Gill
Priya Gill was known more for her Indian appeal and simple girl-next-door looks. Her performance was applauded in the movie Sirf Tum which was one of the highest grossing films of the year 1999.

Priya Gill worked with some of the top heroes of that time like Shahrukh Khan in Josh and Suniel Shetty. She is remembered for her portrayal of a naive South Indian Brahmin girl in Tere mere Sapne, a smart witty waitress in Bade Dilwala and a Goan Catholic violinist in Josh.
Vipul’s small gift of 3 lac to Salman
It is not that filmmakers always drive actors to give their best; in fact they sometimes pamper their actors too.
It is said that Salman Khan fell in love with the Roberto Cavalli jacket that he wore for Vipul Shah’s ‘London Dreams’. So much, that the actor never felt like removing it and was seen wearing it even while not shooting. Sources said the filmmakers were surprised when he insisted on wearing the jacket again in portions that did not require him to wear it.
It seems that Salman’s obsession stemmed from the fact that the jacket was one of a kind and he really wanted to wear it as much as he could. Even during the break between the shots, the actor would be seen wearing the jacket, added the sources.
While Vipul Shah found this Salu’s obsession quite palpable. And so he gifted the Rs. 3 lac worth jacket to the actor. “It is a small gift from me to Salman,” said the producer.
Wow! If that’s a small, then what is called big?
Saif surprises Kareena

Saif booked a suite in Udai Vilas Palace Hotel. On Saturday night, he surprised his darling further by flying in Kareena’s mom Babita, her best friend Reena and designer Shabina Khan.
Says a source close to the actress, "He had booked a suite and in true Saif style, he had it decorated it with candles, flowers and everything that she loves. Saif had recently taken her for a European holiday so Bebo wasn't expecting Saif to surprise her again, which he did!"
