Amrita Rao desperately wants to shed her simple-sweet-girl-next door image for a sizzling sexy one. She explored with very ‘Indian’ looks with her roles in Vivah and Welcome To Sajjanpur. Her forthcoming film has her playing a simple city girl.

But in her next film SHORTKUT she will be going fully bold and beautiful. Sexy image would mean she would wear shorter clothes and that she will have a couple of raunchy numbers to dance on and of course a hot love making scene with her love interest in the film.

But I think it’ll take her a very very good role to shed her image… Do you think she should get so desperate?

Sigh… would be a dream for many ladies to get just one chance in a lifetime to kiss Tom Cruise. Apni Eesha Koppikar had the crush of her lifetime on this Hollywood hottie, she says she would have his posters stuck all around her room and she would keep kissing his poster.

So among the Bollywood stars, who does Eesha find equally hot. And she says,

“Amitabh Bachchan. Purely for the fact that he started off from such a humble background. It was his sheer hard work and attitude, professionalism and devotion that propelled him into becoming a legend. I believe that he’s also a very doting and loving father. Aamir Khan too…because I simply love his diligent work ethics. He is one of the brilliant actors of our times.”

She raised the eyebrows of all when she was quoted as saying, “Deepika is just another girlfriend in Ranbir’s life.” When asked to clarify the reason of her doubts, she explained, “Both of them are very young. It’s a long way to go before marriage. No one knows what future holds for them.”

In many occasions, Neetu spotted with Deepika. They made their first public appearance during the Lakme fashion week and caught the eyes of all. It was also reported that Deepika is the choice of Ranbir’s parents and they even accepted her as their bahu.

Not only their parents but Ranbir and Deepika themselves are uncertain about what future has stored for them.
