Future divas of Bollywood
The reigning divas of Bollywood beware because 2010 is going to pump some young blood into tinsel town. Move over Katrina Kaif, Farah Khan and Jesse Randhawa and make way for a brand new batch of actors, models and choreographers. iDiva presents to you the future divas of Bollywood.
Ambika Hinduja
We all have heard that Shilpa Shetty, Katrina Kaif and Rhea Kapoor (Anil Kapoor's daughter) are the new breed of women producers. And kudos to them. But Ambika Hinduja is two steps ahead because she has managed to cast two of the greatest actors of our time - superstar of the Indian film industry, Amitabh Bachchan and Academy Award-winner Sir Ben Kingsley!
Her project: Teen Patti
A graduate from London International Film school she believes that the storyline of a film is more important than its entertainment value. Teen Patti is a razor sharp thriller about greed, deception and a whole lot of imagination.
Nicole Faria
Winning Pantaloons Femina Miss India South 2010 is no easy task. But for this 19-year-old the ramp-walk proved to be a cakewalk. Out of thousands of entries and contestants eleven beauties made it to the finale and Nicole was crowned the winner.
Her project: Fastrack ad / a calendar shoot with Waseem Khan and direct entry into the the Top 10 at the Femina Miss India contest.
Nicole currently puts her career as her top most priority followed by family. But she has no doubt either that her priority would shift to her family later in life. The attitude of a diva-in-the-making you say?
Monikangana Dutta
She is already a Bengali supermodel and after she signed Sanjay Leela Bansali's Guzaarish she is being touted as the hottest thing in B-town who will easily match up with the hot...ness of Hrithik Roshan!
Her project: Guzaarish
She is a self-proclaimed extremist and calls herself a sort of enigma and that's why we guess Sanjay wants to re-christen her as Mona Lisa. Whatever it is, it's working for her because Suzanne Roshan is spending a lot sleepless nights if you know what we mean.
Sonakshi Sinha
Sinha might not be as big a name as Kapoor but the weightage is no less. Daughter of Shatrughan Sinha, Sonakshi is a fashion designer by profession but she's all set to step into the Bollywood industry.
Her project: Dabanng
She is making her debut opposite none other than Salman Khan. The film is directed by Abhinav Kashyap (brother of Anurag Kashyap) and produced by Arbaaz Khan under his newly launched banner Arbaaz Khan Productions. Will she live up to the SHOTGUN brand? We definitely think she will.
Sonia Jaffer-Fraser
From a battered woman to an accomplished diva, this girl has balls. Raped by her former boyfriend, life was far from hunky dory for this single mom. But she fought all the odd and obstacles and how!
Her project: Fast Forward / She will be assisting Vaibhavi Merchant too in her project.
In Jhalak Dikhla Jaa she proved her mettle by not only winning the title but by making a non-dancer like Baichung Bhutia boogie with her. This made the entire film industry sit up and take notice. She is not even a year old in the Bollywood choreographing business but we're sure she has miles to go.
Kiran Rao
There's more to Kiran Rao than being Aamir Khan's wife. She has worked as an assistant director in the movies like Swades, Saathiya, Monsoon Wedding and Lagaan. Now taking all that experience, she's all set to make her directorial debut.
Her project: Dhobi Ghaat
It's not surprising that Aamir Khan stars in the movie but regardless of their personal relationship, she is the one who calls the shots on the set. And despite her recent miscarriage she is focused and determined to complete her project ASAP. Quality of a diva? You bet.
