The Bachelorette Needs Better Bollywood Bachelorettes

Mallika Sherawat on Bachelorette India is quite a disaster.Simpering snorting and failing miserably to look like a prospective bride she makes all the hopeful bridegrooms on the show look like they had jumped into the wrong compartment of a train that was supposed to carry them to paradise.

There are so many single girls in Bollywood who would have fitted the bill much better.Here's looking at the best of bachelor girls of Bollywood.

1. Tabu: She has no dearth of admirers. At 40 Tabu looks better than she did at 30. Her serious relationships with producer Sajid Nadiadwala and Telugu star Nagarajun did not lead to the altar.With her rare and precious combination of Hyderabadi grace and cosmopolitan wisdom Tabu would have been the perfect dulhan on Bachelorette India.

2. Bipasha Basu: Single always ready to tingle....Bipasha's breakup with her long-standing beau John Abraham was followed by whispers of intimate frirndships with her Singularity co-star Josh Hartnett, her Dum Maro Dum co-star Rana Daggubatti and now Harman Baweja.

All three could be her prospective grooms on the show. Bipasha can walk away with any man whose name doesn't have a 'J' in it. Jab tak hai John....

3. Preity Zinta: She hasn't been in a relationship ever since she broke up with Ness Wadia. Now after two years of rigorous entrepreneurship surely Preity is ready to take the plunge.I recommend only the strong-willed wannabe grooms for Preity.She can't suffer under-age pinup boys at all.That kind of eliminates the Varuns and the Sushants.


4. Sushmita Sen: The ever-gorgeous ever-seductive Ms Sen remains the single-most desirable single girl in the entertainment business. She would be to the Bachelorette what Oprah Winfrey is to talk shows. But there is a problem.Sushmita makes every man feel special.So picking one groom on the show would be impossible.


5. Neha Dhupia: Single , sexy and solitary...Neha Dhupia is all of that. A couple of broken relationships.And she is standing at the threshold where something new and spectacular needs to happen in her life. Marriage is a good option. But be warned: Neha is not the simpering-bride material.


6. Diya Mirza: Blame it on Vidya Balan. Diya was all set to take the plunge with her filmmaker-boyfriend Sahil Sangha when Vidya stepped daintily into the picture offering to play the lead in Diya and Sahil's production. Now Diya has postponed her wedding plans.

So here is Plan B. Why not do the next season of Bachelorette and invite Sahil as one of the grooms? At least this time the televised swayamvar won't be a fake. What happened to the chosen bridegrooms of Rakhi Sawant and Ratan Rajput? No doubt Mallika's groom would also disappear due to `irreconcilable differences` Ha ha.

Video : Katrina, Rani, Preity: Who wore what at Yashji’s birthday

The Chandni lady Sridevi dressed in heavy ornamented ghagra and matching jewelry and walked the ramp. The ‘Darr’ actress Juhi Chawla wore a white and red semi chiffon ghagra while the dhak dhak lady Madhuri Dixit looked elegant in transparent black saree with sleeveless blouse.

Rani donned pink ghagra choli with golden nathni (nose ring) minus other jewelry, while Preity walked wearing white lehenga choli with typical Kashmiri jewellery. Last but not the least to walk the ramp was Katrina Kaif who look spectacular in brownish and cream ghagra choli.

Shahrukh Khan took the center stage in a black suit and every actress delivered a small speech remembering Yash Chopra after the ramp walk.

Rani Mukherjee was in tears remembering Yash Chopra. She said: "Yash uncle I miss you a lot...please forgive me for not making cake for you last year as I was busy with my commitments...I miss you and we all love you." 

Yash Chopra died suddenly on October 21 last year due to dengue. He was 80.

Nine heroines one tribute?

Nine heroines who have been part of the late auteur's iconic films to be part of a tribute gala on his birthday on September 27.

There are actresses. And then there are Yash Chopra's heroines. In a fitting tribute to the late filmmaker on his birthday on September 27, nine actresses are going to walk the ramp in his memory. All these ladies have been part of Chopra's iconic films in the past.

It was last year when Chopra left for the heavenly abode and this year his widow, Pamela Chopra is planning to make the day special. Insiders say the Chopra family Pamela and her sons Aditya and Uday will arrange to make each year memorable henceforth.


`They want to make it a day to remember. Nine actresses will showcase clothes inspired by Chopra's films and the celebrations will be grand,` says a source close to the family. While several actresses have apparently shown keen interest in being part of the event, the three who have already confirmed their presence are Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta and Katrina Kaif.
