Sonakshi's the new face of D'Damas

The 'Dabangg' girl takes over from Preity Zinta

Sonakshi Sinha's endorsement cup is truly running over - it's just been announced that the 'Dabangg' girl is the new face of the D'Damas diamond jewellery brand. Sonakshi has taken over from Preity Zinta.

"Sonakshi Sinha is the face of the new Indian woman who is confident, versatile and has got tremendous self-belief. She has the charisma, grace, beauty and the attitude that goes perfectly with the brand image," said R.K. Menon, COO, D'damas Jewellery India Pvt Ltd.

The 23-year-old is also associated with brands including Dyna Soap, Colgate toothpaste and the Provogue's women wear line. Katrina Kaif earlier endorsed Dyna, and Sonakshi's taking over the ad, led to an alleged tiff between the two Salman Khan heroines. Reportedly, Sonakshi sent Kat an sms to explain what happened but never got a response.

Meanwhile, Sonakshi said about her new D'Damas role, "I connect with D'Damas because I personally live each moment to the fullest and believe in celebrating life. D'Damas adds celebration to both ordinary and even the everyday special occasions." IANS

Excuse me! Do we know you?

Sonam Kapoor at Cannes

Bollywood is always excited when it comes to talking about their achievements at Cannes or walking the red carpet. But the real inside picture came forward this year when many of our Bollywood celebs went unrecognized by the foreign media. The only celeb who was recognized by the paparazzi was none other than Bollywood actress, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Here we bring to you; some of the Bollywood celebs who tried their best to make their presence felt at Cannes but were unfortunately were unsuccessful.
Bollywood actress, Mallika Sherawat walked the red carpet at Cannes to promote her upcoming movie, ‘Politics of Love’. She has been very spirited about her so called stint in Hollywood. She was all very excited about her appearance at the red carpet and she surprised everybody with her see-through black dress that she wore on the first day. But what’s even more surprising is that nobody recognised her and the paparazzi ended up confusing her for Spanish actress, Stephanie Sigman.
Saif Ali Khan may be a big name in Bollywood but a large number of international media failed to recognize him. The ‘Chhote Nawab’ was at Cannes as the brand ambassador a reputed liquor brand. When he made his entry on the red carpet, his name was not even announced. Then he started walking in between two Hollywood heavyweights. In front of him were Antonio Banderas and his wife Melanie Griffith and behind Saif were Salma Hayek and her hubby Francois Pinault. No one seemed interested in clicking picture of Saif and half of them didn’t even notice him in between.
Bollywood actress, Sonam Kapoor was captioned as an unidentified guest by a leading news agency. Sonam who all decked up, arrived at the red carpet at Cannes for the screening of the movie, ‘The Artist’. But unfortunately the paparazzi failed to recognize her on the red carpet and tagged her as an unidentified guest.
Minissha Lamba was one actress who was given the worst cold-shoulder.  When Minissha walked the red carpet she was captioned as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan by the international media. Thanks to the almost similar gowns that both Minissha and Aishwarya wore at the red carpet, the former was mistaken as Aishwarya.
As usual, Aishwarya was the only celeb who got recognized by the international media, thanks to her previous nine appearances at Cannes. Since nobody else was recognized there, guess what the others were doing there??

Hot actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Heroine

Bollywood actresses play all sorts of roles, from campus hotties to courtesans and from princesses to journalists. But it is when they play a heroine in a film-within-film that they generate the maximum buzz.

For instance, no sooner had Aishwarya Rai Bachchan been revealed as the heroine in Madhur Bhandarkar's latest film Heroine than the tongues started wagging. Will she pull it off? Isn't she the right choice?

Questions can wait for a while. In the meantime, check out the women, who've reflected on their professions in the recent past and whether they made the cut or simply failed.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Heroine
In the hands of Madhur Bhandarkar, who's known to extract solid performances out of his actresses (Tabu in Chandni Bar and Konkona Sen Sharma in Page 3), will Mrs Bachchan deliver a knock-out?

Word is that the film derives its story from the troubled life of Hollywood's legendary star Marilyn Monroe. However, Aishwarya's character Mahi is said to have been heavily Indianised and that Madhur has borrowed from some Indian actresses as well.
