Back and begging for attention!
They lie low for a while, sometimes a rather long while. And then suddenly, they are everywhere, posing for shutterbugs, giving soundbytes about their exotic vacations and latest arm candies or maybe a film or two. Here's taking a look at some of the actresses who have mastered the hibernation act, and who we think have timed their dramatic reappearances rather well.Manisha Koirala
Last seen/heard: In the long awaited Hindi film Mehbooba, other equally forgotten and forgettable films like Tulsi and Sirf, a Bengali film Khela, and at a dance show at Blue Frog.
Recently spotted at: The launch of designer Shahid Aamir's new collection and another fashion event.
Look: It seems Manisha tried to make a splash in a short red dress, but ended up looking like a mama who's worn her daughter's dress instead. This woman surely needs some Botox! Even the cleavage show did not help. Where's the pretty Manisha Koirala we knew? Please...can she do without her red lipstick?!Sushmita Sen
Last seen/heard: In Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag and for having ambitions of directing Rani Laxmibai.
Recently spotted at: Endorsing some anti-ageing and beauty products, looking plumper than Aishwarya RaiBachchan did post her vows. Also seen at a couple of fashion events, if not with her toy boys.
Look: So not Miss Universe. In trying to hide her tyres, Sush ended up in a disastrous black and animal print outfit. It portrayed nothing but her urge to cover up her sins (read chocolates and what have you).
Karisma Kapoor
Last seen/heard: For a high-profile marriage to Delhi stud Sanjay Kapur, and a divorce narrowly averted.
Recently spotted at: At the India Couture Week, on the Verve cover, the Nach Baliye 4 event, and at the Hello! mag event (she's on the cover!).
Look: Svelte. Be it casual, formal or bridal. Giving Shilpa Shetty ample competition for the trimmest waist in B'town is Lolo. Knowing her plus points fully well, Karisma has stuck to short dresses and neat hairdos. In chic solids and elegant cuts , she is grace personified and making sure her reported comeback in films is smoother than her famous complexion.
Eesha Koppikhar
Last in the limelight: In Farhan Akhtar's Don with Shah Rukh Khan.
Recently spotted at: Walking the ramp with current beau Timmy Narang in a wedding trousseau for designer Azeem Khan. And a showstopper again, this time for designer Pria Kataria Puri.
Look: We know it's for Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi, but we're sort of getting bored of seeing Eesha in a trousseau at every other event. It shouldn't happen that we end up not seeing the film at all. Or lose all interest by the time Eesha actually walks down the aisle. This week her film Hello too hits the marquee.Koena Mitra
Last seen/heard: Two years ago in Apna Sapna Money Money, and at the New Year's Eve show at Hotel Sahara Star last year.
Recently spotted at: At the Saas, Bahu Aur Sensex film premiere and on the front page of Bombay Times, admitting that her face job had gone wrong and she hates the way she looks now.
Look: No doubt Koena's face job has gone horribly wrong, but that is no excuse for the desperation to draw attention to her allegedly enhanced assets.
Urmila Matondkar
Last seen/heard: In an item song in Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, judging reality show Waar Parriwar and hosting the IIFA Awards in Bangkok.
Recently spotted: In the Karzzzz promos, crooning away Tandoori Nights with Himesh Reshammiya, and with Sanjay Dutt in EMI.
Suman Ranganathan
Last seen/heard: Sudden marriage to Bunty Walia and an equally sudden estrangement.
Recently spotted at: At a dance show at Blue Frog and the launch of designer Shahid Aamir's new collection.
Look: Boring. The old sexy Suman is gone with the famous curls, and what we see doesn't hold our attention even for a minute. Sitting beside the down-and-out Manisha Koirala did get her some snapshots, but getting a few makeover tips from professionals might be a better idea.
