Vindu Dara Singh had been earlier married to the Bollywood actress Farah, the elder sister of actress Tabu. They have since divorced and have a son Fateh Randhawa.

After 7 years of his divorce with Farah, he got married to Dina Umarova, a Russian model with whom he has a daughter Amelia.

Now, this Sunday, the actress unveiled the 2010 edition of Kingfisher’s swimsuit special calendar and she is very proud of it.

Last week, when Claudia Ciesla was evicted most unexpectedly from ‘Big Boss 3’, it was a major disappointment for most of the viewers. Claudia feels that she has played the game well and has emerged with more confidence and the added achievement of learning Hindi and cooking Indian food.

“I adjusted very well inside the ‘Bigg Boss’ house. I didn’t know how to cook at all, but during my stay I learnt how to cook dal and roti and a few other things. I can cook well now,” says the German supermodel-turned-actress.

Claudia has already featured in M.R. Shahjahan’s “Karma: Crime, Passion, Reincarnation” and her close friendship with housemate Pravesh Rana raised eyebrows.

What does Claudia have to say on this? Was this something more than friendship or a TRP stunt? Claudia denies both. “I don’t agree. Of course, each other’s support was a factor. We had fun, but nothing more. We were just friends inside the Bigg Boss House,” says Claudia.

Now, the sexy lady is all set to concentrate fully on her career in Bollywood and says, “I’m interested in Bollywood and conducted myself in a way that people understood who the real Claudia is.”

All our best wishes for this German beauty!

It was a touching moment when Sanjana Jon, the sister of jailed fashion designer Anand Jon, broke down during the show organized by her at the ongoing Wills Lifestyle Fashion Week. The show was a tribute to her brother, who has been sentenced to 59 years in prison.

The showstoppers for Sanjana Jon’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection show at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion week were brother duo Salman Khan and Sohail Khan, sister duo Raima and Riya Sen, and brother-sister duo Sushmita Sen and Rajiv Sen. Sarod maestro Aman Ali Khan and Ayan Ali Khan also showcased the creation by the designer.

Although they are the hottest real life couple of the tinsel town, at present, the Saifeena jodi is not generally seen together at many events. But with their forthcoming flick ‘Qurbaan’ set to hit the screens, the couple is gracing many events and occasions with their presence.

This time they appeared together on the ramp for the first time at the HDIL India Couture Week in Mumbai. Kareena looked stunning in a bridal lehenga and Saif was breathtakingly perfect in his velvet sherwani, both Manish Malhotra’s creations.

Check out the hot couple as they scorch the ramp at HDIL India Couture Week.

Lakme India Fashion Week 2010 saw the most beautiful of all beauties come to life when Deepika Padukone attired nothing less than an angel sashayed down the ramp on the day 4 of the fashion week, as the showstopper for designers Gauri and Nainika. Even the prettiest of angels looked down in jealousy as Deepika romanced with satin and frill in a vintage black-and-white gown in the hazy hues of the ramp.

The show also had Dia Mirza and Sameera Reddy sashay down the ramp. However, hot babes like Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif, Kajol and Genelia preferred the front rows rather than the spotlight of the ramp.

If you thought that it was only Sameera Reddy and Minissha Lamba who graced the KFW with their ramp walk, reconsider your thoughts because dazzling this gala event were petite beauty Amrita Rao, Bong bombshell Riya Sen, Neetu Chndra, Nandana Sen and Khiladi Mandira Bedi who sashayed on the ramp. Amrita Rao walked on ramp to display collection of Manish Malhotra accompanied by TV star Ronit Roy and Football star Baichung Bhutia. Riya was the show stopper for designers Kaushik and Pallob during the Day 2 of ‘Kolkata Fashion week II’. Neetu Chandra displayed a creation by designer Soumitra Mondal during the Day 3 of ‘Kolkata Fashion week II’ while bengali babe Nandana Sen exhibited the creation of ‘Story Of Weaves’. Mandira bedi displayed a creation by designer Satya Paul during Day 4 of ‘Kolkata Fashion week’. Check out the pics from the event.

Kolkata Fashion Week-II was every inch full of style, glamour and glitter as it saw famous Bollywood hotties like Sameera Reddy and Minissha Lamba set the ramp afire with their dazzling presence. Sameera was the show-stopper for Neeta Lulla’s bridal collection and she made the head turns as she sashayed the ramp in a red lehenga.

“I think Neeta’s Indian wear rocks and when I get married she is going to make me the best bridal outfit ever. It’s going to be the style statement of the century,” said Sameera.

Minissha Lamba show-stopped for designer duo Monapali and she had loads of praises for the KFW as she was seen attired in a traditional embroidered ghagra-choli.

“There’s been an astronomical change in the KFW event in just six months time. It’s transformed a lot from the maiden KFW show (held in April),” said Minissha adding, ”This time I can see that it’s more professional and equivalent to any fashion show held in Mumbai or New Delhi. It’s as good and organised as that.”

Check out Sameera and Minssha in traditional Indian wear at KFW.
