Top 5 topless babes of Bollywood

Owing to the demands of the script or that of the sequence in a film, Bollywood actress often goes topless, donning little or no clothes. One need not be judgmental about it so long the revealing posture does not infringe upon the artist’s comfort zone. Quite a few films directed by the legendary Raj Kapoor, featured women scantily clothed. But none of them looked ugly or atrocious for the director with his eye for detail could ensure the artistic appeal and beauty.

1.Kareena Kapoor

  Qurbaan one of the releases of Karan Johar portrayed Kareena topless. The film dealing with terrorism which has become a worldwide phenomenon featured the off screen lovers Kareena and Saif as husband and wife. In enacting a close shot involving her beau Saif Kareena exposed her completely. Bebo looked perfectly comfortable and awesome in the romantic sequence.

2. Neha Dhupia

Hot and sizzling Neha Dhupia, who went out of reckoning for quite a while, has been quick to reassure her presence with a bang. As part of her campaign in favour of eco friendliness, Neha went topless to feature in a calendar. The calendar geared to the cause of saving environment has the stylish actress highlighting the various shades and elements constituting nature. The photography by Jatin Kampani is a perfect blend of sensuousness and aesthetics.

3. Bipasha Basu

  It is nothing unusual for dusky Bengali bombshell, Bipasha Basu to go topless. Notwithstanding her bold ways, the reputed model and actress is endowed with the innate capability to carry herself with élan and dignity. Very recently Bips went sans clothes to feature on the front cover of a glamour magazine, appearing daring and stunningly glamorous as always.

4. Mallika Sherawat

Mallika Sherawat does not lag far behind when it comes to revealing. On account of not making much headway in acting, the actress has decided on a few item numbers. One of them will be enacted free of cost. To make her presence felt she has hit upon a topless pose to make it to the cover page of a well known men’s magazine. The topless beauty manages an unsuccessful blend of oriental and occidental. Red bindi and heavily designed jewellary in pearl and gold falls out of place with mini skirt and exposed chest. 

5. Mandira Bedi

Unfortunately during the recently concluded World Cup Mandira Bedi could not make it to the commentary box along with some of the leading names in cricket. The whole nation was thus deprived of having a glimpse of her body hugging, transparent chiffons and spaghetti lined blouses. Much to the amazement of men, Mandira followed Mallika and Bipasha’s suit. She featured completely topless on the cover page of Vogue, a popular glamour magazine.

It is surprising and outrageous finding a great many of our actresses baring and going topless for the sake of highlighting themselves. Despite deleting the ethical angle of such stunts and overlooking the social context of our country, one does not understand the rational behind such moves. Apart from flaunting and catering to the sensuous appeal of a few men, they have no artistic purpose to serve. Neither do they serve to impress the producers and directors of Bollywood. For establishing ones root in acting there are other talents to be honed, rather than focus on cheap sensuousness.

Mandira bedi visits delhi to promote Meerabhai Not Out

Mandira Bedi is in the capital to promote her latest big screen flick Meerabai Not Out. And even though she was here to promote her movie Mandira decided to join CNN IBN's Citizens Against Terror campaign.

Mandira who is a big cricket buff also talks about her new avatar in her latest movie Meerabai Not Out. “It's a movie where I play a huge cricket buff. All she has is cricket in her life. A lot of people have asked me whether there are any similarities between Meera and Mandira, you are going to ask me that next,” says Mandira.

“Hi, this is Madira Bedi speaking for Citizens Against Terror. I think we should all be cautious to warning signals because there were warning signals,” she passes her message.

“Well I haven't spoken to Anil, but the problem I think is with that picture of me, Ejaz and Anil in the bed. But I haven't spoken to him so I don't know can’t say,” says Mandira.

India’s former test captain Anil Kumble is also making his big screen debut with this film and is apparently livid over the new promos of the movie.

Television actor Eijaz Khan who makes his debut in soon-to-be-released "Meerabai Not Out" opposite Mandira Bedi, feels that there are high expectations and less pressure in movies as compared to small screen.

Eijaz said he did not find any difference in terms of approaching a role as an actor, saying "Acting is all about understanding what the director wants from you and delivering the goods in both the mediums."

Television is a stepping stone to films is universally accepted fact. Besides, television actors are tried and tested and hence there are some film producers who consider television actors if they want fresh faces in their films, he added.

"It's a sweet romantic comedy with a dash of cricket. Mandira plays Meera Achrekar, a Maharashtrian middle class girl who is huge fan of Anil Kumble. While, I play a cardiologist with a modern background who has nothing to do with cricket. However, the game is part of every Indian's life," he added.

Speaking about shooting with Anil Kumble, who plays a cameo in the film, Eijaz said the former Test captain was a straightforward man with a good sense of humour. Eijaz said he wants to try out different genres of films for a good body of work. "I am just a newcomer. Let's see what opportunities I get," he added.

He says in "Meerabai..." , he plays a regular guy with normal aspirations in life whereas in Dharmesh Darshan's "Bhanvra", his character has high aspirations and can go to the extent of adopting different means to achieve them.

In PNC's "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", he plays a grey character. Eijaz is confident that "Meerabai.." will be liked by the audience. "The audience will smile throught the film and come out of theatres with a happy feeling," he said. To a question if television offers were still open, Eijaz said he has kept television on hold for last two years.

"Filmmakers ask for block dates and I do television, I will not be able to commit myself to films. Television is also too demanding. But, I am not ruling out television if there are good roles at a later stage. Right now, I am concentrating on building my film career," he added.
