Lara Dutta Wardrobe malfunction at IIFA

It started off fabulously with Lara Dutta looking gorgeous at the IIFA, Colombo in Sri Lanka in her Gustavo Cadile designed golden gown. The dress was quite low cut but Lara carried it off confidently as usual. Then it happened! As she was addressing her fans and signing autographs for them, the dainty strap of her gown slipped off thereby revealing more than what was intended. The camera person present there captured the moment instantly.

 

Everyone was shocked but Lara used her presence of mind, kept her cool, held on to the strap and suddenly went back stage to fix it. And then she was back to her role as host and even posed for pictures.

Lara Dutta and Mahesh Bhupathi making their relationship public

It didn’t take long for Lara Dutta and Mahesh Bhupathi to make their relationship public as the lovey-dovey couple entered together at this year’s Filmfare Awards. Now, the lover boy Mahesh is reportedly shifting his base from Bangalore to Mumbai.

And, if recent reports are to be believed, Lara and Mahesh plan to stay quite close to each other.

 

As a source tells a daily, Mahesh has booked an apartment in Pali Hill area and that place is less than 10 minutes away from Lara’s flat in Bandra. In fact, Lara accompanied him while finalizing the deal.

Lara is serious: Akshay Kumar

In the filmi circuit, Lara Dutta’s known to be not too friendly. Her co-star from Housefull, Akshay Kumar, remarks, “She’s a very serious person.

She doesn’t talk much.” To this, Lara says, “Yes I don’t talk much when I’m on the sets. You need to be serious about your work. I’m focussed about what I want to do, so I do that and leave.” But she doesn’t agree to the image that she’s not very friendly.

 

Watch me when I’m with my friends and you’ll agree that I’m fun-loving,” she said and adds, “About Akshay saying that I don’t talk much, well, with him around, who really gets a chance to talk. He does all the talking, so you are forced to keep quiet,” she smiles.

Deepika and Lara ignore the presence of Jiah

Two’s company, three’s a crowd and isn’t a crowd hard to handle? Well if that saying holds any truth and if the three refers to actresses working in the same film, then it may prove to be true.

 

Sajid Khan’s ‘Housefull’ is a multi-starrer comedy flick that stars Akshay Kumar, Ritesh Deshmukh and Arjun Rampal in pivotal roles. But what turned out to be a problem were not these three actors but the actresses.

 

The shooting of movie turned out to be quite eventful as two of the film’s leading ladies Deepika Padukone and Lara Dutta apparently cold-shouldered the third actress, the young and upcoming Jiah Khan.

 

As per reports, “Deepika and Lara refused to acknowledge the presence of Jiah.” After working with two biggies Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan, Jiah is still working hard to find a foothold in the industry.

 

The youngster is known to be fairly reserved and it seems as though the other girls had no problem giving her her own space.

Not so fair!

Lara Dutta gets perfect bikini figure

Lara Dutta has really worked hard to get that perfect bikini figure, and being sexy is fun for the ‘it’ gal of Bollywood.

However, the hottie never had problems in flaunting her great figure as she hardly goes out of shape, but admits that a lot of hard work is required for donning a bikini on screen. She further adds, “Having a good body gives you a lot of confidence to carry off any look. But the emphasis is always on being and feeling fit.

Lara Dutta gets serious about comedy

If there is any actress in Bollywood who can do comedy convincingly on screen, she’s Lara Dutta .

Lara, who had everyone in splits with her comic flair in No Entry , has proved her mettle at tickling the funny bone in other films like Bhagam Bhaag and Partner . Now, the pretty damsel is turning seriously to comedic roles. She has in her kitty films like David Dhawan’s Do Knot Disturb and Sajid Khan’s House Full . Her other comedy film Banda Ye Bindaas Hai is caught up in a legal wrangle. But Lara is pretty gung-ho about doing three comedy films on a trot. Hardly any other actress can boast of such a résumé.

“I love working with directors like Priyadarshan , David Dhawan and Sajid Khan …I think doing comedy is far tougher than serious roles,” Lara is quoted as saying in a media report. Lara is also excited about her role in Sajid Khan’s ‘Houseful’. Though the film is a multi-starrer with a host of male and female actors ( Deepika Padukone and Jiah Khan ), Lara claims that her role is best among the girls.

Lara Dutta Refuse To Work In Terror Film

After his epic romance Taj Mahal, filmmaker Akbar Khan now plans to make a movie called Taxi Driver and says it will send out a strong message on terrorism. Akbar Khan told media, “It is the story of a single mother with a 10 year old kid. It will send out a great message against terrorism. It’s a subject that’s been close to my heart”.

Akbar Khan, who gave Smita Patil a seductively psychotic role in Haadsa (1983), has been scouting for an actress to play the protagonist. But he is having trouble getting the top leading ladies to do the movie.

Lara Dutta was a top contender for the part, but she is already playing a mother to a growing son in Priyadarshan’s upcoming flick Billo Barber on Shahrukh Khan’s special request. Other screen queens are disinclined to play mom. At the same time, Akbar is determined to revive interest in his last project Taj Mahal. The movie was released in 2005, but sank without a trace.

Lara Dutta writes a script for herself

Not happy with uninspiring roles being offered by filmmakers these days, actress Lara Dutta has now written a script for herself!"What prompted me to write a script for myself? Scriptwriters in Bollywood aren’t writing anything in depth for a woman. Invariably the scripts glorify the hero while the heroine is the love interest. And the women-oriented films are half-baked attempts at feminist statements. Both to me are uninspiring," Lara said.

So will she take to direction as well?"No I’m not ready to direct yet. And I can’t wait to start my film. I’ve done two drafts. And I think it needs one more draft, then I’m ready," she said.But, interestingly, Lara hasn’t written a woman-oriented film.

"It has equal space for the male and female protagonists. It’s not one of those feminist, in-your-face women’s films. The male lead will have a lot to contribute to my film.

"And, yes, Lara will produce the film. "We start soon. It will be a very commercial film. And I can’t wait."The former Miss Universe refused to reveal if Dino Morea, with whom she is linked, will play the lead in her film.

Asked when she found the time to write, Lara said, "I’ve always been a writer. I didn’t have time to write earlier. Now what I do is in-between shots, instead of chatting or sleeping, I write my script. Now I can’t write unless I’ve noise all around me."Lara’s mom has been critically unwell for some time now.

"My mom has been unwell for two years. So we’re mentally prepared for the inevitable. My mom went into the hospital when I was in Pollachi for Billo Barber. (But) I had to keep focussed on my work. That’s what being an actor is all about," she said.Lara is at her busiest now. Technorati Tags: Lara Dutta, Hot, Pictures, Sexy, Actress, Bollywood, Gossips

Lara Dutta in Blue flim

It’s sure going to be interesting to see our sensuous star Lara Dutta on screen in her upcoming film Blue. After all Lara was given the Hollywood touch by the same make-up artiste who was behind Keira Knightley’s look in Pirates Of The Caribbean.

Lara says, ’’The film required a make up artist who could handle make up for under water sequences as well as special effects for the action sequences and give the character a ’glamorous beach babe’ look, that was also very natural looking. Nikoletta Skarlatos, who has worked on Transformers as well as Pirates Of The Caribbean, came very highly recommended by the International action team. She and Clarabelle Saldhana have put the whole look together for make-up and hair. They have done an amazing job and I am extremely thrilled with the results.

Is it possible for the ex-Miss Universe to look even more radiant than she does already? We’ll just have to wait and watch to find out.

Beauty queen Lara Dutta wears sarees from roadside shops

IImagine a popular actress and former beauty queen mopping the floor or stoking fire in a chulha.

That and more actress Lara Dutta had to do for Shahrukh Khan’s home production Billoo Barber in which she plays the wife of a poor village barber, played by Irrfan Khan .

Director Priyadarshan made sure that Lara’s character of a deglam housewife looked as real as possible. Along with his cinematographer, Priyadarshan went to shop for the saris that Lara wears in the film. And he did not pick any designer saris, but plain, cotton, crumpled saris purchased from roadside shops.

On top of it Priyadarshan made Lara go barefoot for her role. She was made to do all the domestic chores that any village housewife does - fetching water from well, washing and cleaning work, cooking food on a chulha, feeding the goats and, not to forget, feeding her husband.

Lara says she hasn’t slogged so harder in her entire life as she did in the 20 days she shot for ‘Billoo Barber’ in Pollachi.The movie has Shahrukh Khan playing a superstar who comes to shoot in a village where his childhood friend, a poor barber, lives.
