Entertainment » Bollywood » Features » Full story First look of Mallika Sherawat's Hollywood film Love, Barack

Mallika Sherawat may be missing in action on the Bollywood front but she is surely making a lot of heads turn in the West. While her immediate next release is Hissss where she plays a snake-woman, Mallika would also be seen in the political comedy Love, Barack alongside side Laz Alonso.

The first look poster of Love,Barack was unveiled at Cannes Film Festival yesterday and going by the looks of it, this one indeed promises a lot of naughty fun. In the film directed by American filmmaker Doug McHenry, Mallika plays Aretha Gupta, a devoted local Obama volunteer coordinator. A month before the election day, Democrat Aretha unexpectedly falls for her Republican counterpart (Alonso), a handsome, dynamic African-American working for the local McCain office.

Well going by the first look poster, the film will surely have some sizzling chemistry between Madame Sherawat and Alonso. What say?

Bolly Actress rate Barbara as best bikini babe

Everyone’s talking about Barbara Mori and how gorgeous the Mexican beauty looks in a bikini! The actress has become the talk of the town and apparently the most envied too for she according to many Bollywood hotties has the best bikini body! Even Lara Dutta has no qualms in admitting that Mori's body is simply fab! In spite of the super-hot weather, we thus let the temperatures soar further as we allow our desi hot ladies to give their verdict.

Lara Dutta I think I have the best bikini body (smiles). Other than me it’s Barbara Mori. I am not the kind who spends hours and hours in the gym in order to look good. I have a very holistic approach towards my life. It an all round approach – mind, body and soul. Jacqueline Fernandez I think Shilpa Shetty has the best bikini body. I don’t like bodies that are too muscular and look as if they are worked upon. Shilpa does a lot of Yoga and she has this feminine and dainty body. She has a toned torso and her body looks naturally fit. I don’t think I have the best body as I really don’t pay attention to looking perfect. I like to be healthy.

I think I have the best bikini body. My mom says, I should have modesty but I work hard to maintain my body with kickboxing, so why not flaunt it? Apart from me, I feel Barbara and Lara Dutta look great in a bikini. Also the best body is of someone who is comfortable to carry off the bikini. Its all about confidence here.

Your butt and bust has to be proportional, stomach flat in order to look good in a bikini. I saw Tashan only to see Kareena in that bikini and she looked hot. Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone have good bodies too. Other than body, confidence and a right attitude is also essential if you aspire to look good in a bikini.

Vidya Balan Loves Delhi

In Delhi, Vidya has been shooting outdoors on the streets from dawn till 10.30 pm. And she is exhausted.


“There’s no time to do anything. By the time we wrap up all I want to do is crash out for the day. Sadly, my sister stays in Gurgaon (on the outskirts of Delhi) and I haven’t been able to meet her.

She’s a wife mother and a jobholder. By the time she comes from work it’s too late for us to meet up.”

This is Vidya’s first opportunity to shoot a film in Delhi. “I love the wide open spaces the broad streets and the crowded lanes. Rani and I have been shooting outdoors. Since she’s my favourite actress from the immediately-senior generation, I am happy to be sharing camera space with her.”

I would love to kidnap Ranbir Kapoor: Dia Mirza

Vivacious and beautiful Dia Mirza looked splendid in a golden dress during the promotional spree for her film ‘Hum Tum Aur Ghost’.

The actress, who is playing the role of a high profile fashion editor, seemed hopeful about the film, which promises to be a comedy with an emotional angle to it. The lady believes that her life after winning the Miss India second runner-up crown in 2000 has been a roller-coaster ride and she has a long way to go.

In an exclusive chat with Shivangi Singh and Tanu Talwar of Spicezee.com, the actress revealed her happy-go-lucky side and also gave the meaty byte about kidnapping Ranbir Kapoor.

Q: Please tell us about your character in ‘Hum Tum Aur Ghost’?

Dia: My character in the film is very special. I am playing a high profile fashion editor named ‘Gehna’. She is a very practical woman and she is madly in love with Armaan – that’s the character played by Arshaad Warsi in the film. ‘Gehna’ has all the shades of a woman – she is jealous, naughty, adorable and giving. She is blindly in love and ready to make compromises for her lover.

Q: You seem to identify with this character…

Dia: (Laughs) Yes, absolutely. I am very much like ‘Gehna’ in real life.

Q: From being crowned Miss India 2000 to Hum Tum Aur Ghost. How has the journey been?

Dia: It has been a roller-coaster ride, but the journey has been very gratifying. I have done a lot of work and I have a lot to look forward to. I have received a lot of affection and there is a long way to go.

Q: Your hobbies also include writing and you have written for newspapers. Do you plan to undertake a literary work?

Dia: I have been writing on and off for publications. I feel that if you are a creative person, you choose various mediums to give vent to your ideas. I paint, I am also interested in making pottery and writing is one of my mediums of expression. I cannot write a novel because I cannot work in continuity. My works are more abstract, may be, I will try short story writing.

Q: In one of your interviews, you said that you would love to kidnap Brad Pitt. Whom would you like to kidnap now?

Dia: Well, now I would like to kidnap Johnny Depp and yes, Ranbir Kapoor for sure.

Q: Dia, what’s the secret of your beauty?

Dia: I should thank my parents for my beauty. It’s in my genes.

Q: Please tell us about your upcoming projects?

Dia: I have not signed anything as yet.
