Acting career
Debut and breakthrough, 2003–2005
When D'Souza was offered a role in Tujhe Meri Kasam, initially she turned it down, as she was not keen to pursue a career in acting. But they insisted and kept contacting her for two months, and she agreed when she saw the Telugu version of the movie. D'Souza made her acting debut in Bollywood in 2003, with Tujhe Meri Kasam, alongside Ritesh Deshmukh. The movie centers on two friends, who study in the same college, have houses opposite each other, and were born in the same hospital on the same day. D'Souza portrayed Anju, one of the friends. The movie garnered poor box office returns, and it failed to propel her career in Bollywood.Following her poor debut in Bollywood, she decided to act in South Indian films. Tamil director, S. Shankar, was impressed with her performance in the Parker Pen commercial and decided to cast her in a leading role in his 2003 Tamil film Boys, a story about about five teenagers having stereotypical teen-boy fantasies. D'Souza portrayed the character of Harini, a girl who falls in love with one of the boys from the group. The movie was well received, and subsequently she started receiving Telugu film offers.
She left Tamil cinema for a while to concentrate on the Telugu film industry. She made her Telugu debut in Satyam in 2003 opposite Sumanth, in which she played the role of a medical student, for which she was praised for her performance. The movie was a box-office success, and it raised her profile in the Telugu film industry. Broader public recognition came to D'Souza in her second Hindi movie, Masti in 2004, which was also opposite Ritesh Deshmukh. The comedy focuses on three close friends who reunite after three years, but are now married and are being harassed by their wives. D'Souza portrayed the character of one of the wives. Indian film critic Taran Adarsh was complimentary of D'Souza's role, saying, "Amongst the wives, Genelia is the best, [...] Genelia looks the stern and demanding wife and is sure to be noticed." This film was a critical success, and also fared well at the UK box office. The same year, she appeared in the Telugu fim Samba. Her final Telugu movie in 2004 was Sye, set against a rugby union backdrop, in which she played the role of a vivacious college student.
In 2005, D'Souza experienced a slump in her career. Her first Telugu movie in 2005, Naa Alludu, was commercially unsuccessful. Later that year, she starred in the Tamil romantic entertainer Sachein, in which she played the role of Shalini, a typical fashionable college-going Tamil girl. A review in the The Hindu noted, "Genelia, who hardly made an impression in Boys, makes much impact in Sachein." The movie evoked mixed response from audiences, but was well received with the younger generation, and was a commercial success. She later appeared in the Telugu patriotic movie Subhash Chandra Bose set against a backdrop of Pre-independece period, which was also an economic failure.
Turning point in South Indian films, 2006–April 2008
The year 2006 marked a significant turning point in D'Souza's career. She completed two Telugu movies in early 2006, one was the romantic comedy Happy, and the other was Raam. She then portrayed the role of Haasini, a vibrant, effervescent and a happy-go-lucky young girl, in the 2006 Telugu romantic film Bommarillu, alongside Siddharth Narayan. The movie, a blockbuster at the box-office, grossed Rs 250 million (US$ 5.58 million) in India, and also won the 2006 Golden Nandi award. Her character was well-received by critics, and garnered her the Telugu Filmfare Award for Best Actress, besides Nandi Special Jury Award and Santosham Award for Best Actress. Following the success of Bommarillu, D'Souza played the role of the daughter of a local don, in the Tamil gangster film Chennai Kadhal.D'Souza's performance received ambivalent reviews. While The Hindu praised her performance, Rediff criticized her commenting, "Genelia stands up yet again to prove the point that if you are pretty and well dressed, you can get away with anything, without acting."
Shortly afterwards in 2007, D'Souza played the role of sister of a notorious gangster in the blockbuster Telugu movie Dhee. Her performance was appreciated, netting her the FNCC Best Actress Award. The following year, D'Souza appeared in the 2008 Telugu romatic thriller Mr. Medhavi, in which she portrayed the role of a student from Canada. The movie was moderately successful, nonetheless D'Souza was complimented for her performance. She made her Kannada debut in Satya In Love the same year, in which she was appreciated for her smile. Later, she was cast in a leading role in Santhosh Subramaniam, a Tamil remake of Bommarillu. The film also turned out to be rather successful as its predecessor. Sify described D'Souza's portrayal as "the soul of the film" and the film's "biggest strength", however Rediff described her character as "appears a little too good to be true."
Return to Bollywood and recent work, June 2008–present
In June 2008, she once again appeared in Bollywood in Mere Baap Pehle Aap alongside Akshaye Khanna. Her performance received predominantly positive reviews, with a Rediff review noting, "besides her apparent cuteness, brings in tons of freshness and traits to the youthful characters she chooses to play", and a Sify review criticizing, "Genelia is sprightly but has a standard two-three expressions bank in this film." She later appeared in the Telugu love story Ready alongside Ram, which was well received. Her breakthrough performance in 2008 was through the portrayal of the role of Aditi Mahant in the blockbuster Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, which was an economic success across India and overseas, grossing Rs 564.1 million (US$ 12.58 million). Her role was widely admired for her sweetness and freshness, and new style of acting, with Rediff describing her acting as a "spark that has been missing in Hindi cinema for well over a decade now". In that same year, D'Souza acted in the Telugu romantic comedy Sasirekha Parinayam. The movie received favorable reviews, and Sify noted in their review that, "The life of the film is definitely Genelia and she has shown the varied emotions from innocence, sadness, romance and anger in equal proportions without a hitch."
In 2009, D'Souza was cast in the Hindi film Life Partner alongside Fardeen Khan, in which she was criticized for her performance. Indian fim critic Rajeev Masand commented, "The adorable little imp from Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na has turned into a nagging harridan in this film, and how you wish she'd immediately enroll for acting lessons." Her next appearance was in the Telugu thriller Katha. In 2010, D'Souza appeared in Ken Ghosh`s film Chance Pe Dance alongside Shahid Kapoor, in which she portrayed the role of a choreographer. The movie received poor review from critics, and D'Souza's performance was not well received. She will appear in David Dhawan's film Hook Ya Crook, co-starring John Abraham and Shreyas Talpade. She will play the lead female role in Ram Charan Teja's upcoming movie Orange, directed by Bommarillu Bhasker.

I want to work with Shah Rukh Khan," Barbara |
Barbara hurt in mall melee, wants to work with SRK
Jostled violently by crowds, she got hurt in the knees and one of toe nails was ripped off, but "Kites" star Barbara Mori isn't willing to give up on Bollywood and now wants to do a film with superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
"I would love to do more Bollywood films. I want to work with Shah Rukh Khan," Barbara told reporters Sunday when asked which actor was on her wishlist after romancing Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan in "Kites".
Accompanied by Hrithik and producer-director Rakesh Roshan, the Mexican actress was at the Great India Place Mall for the post-release promotion of "Kites".
There was plenty of hooting and whistling as soon as the cast of "Kites" arrived at the mall on the outskirts of the national capital. But this soon gave way to mayhem when fans went berserk trying to get a glimpse of their favourite stars.
"The crowd was unmanageable and everyone was pushing each other and Barbara was hurt. Her knee was scratched and one of her toe nails was ripped off," said one of the organisers at the event.
Hrithik was left fuming after the security was breached.
"Kites" grossed over Rs.21 crore on its opening day and has become the second highest opening-day grosser after "3 Idiots". The film has also caught the fancy of the American media, making it perhaps the most reviewed Bollywood film on opening day.

Megan Fox did not bother to hide her feelings. She was steaming mad after learning that her naked photos on a movie set were spread online in January.

“If I knew who took this picture, I would personally cause them harm – physical harm. I’m not a f**king reality TV star that’s courting the paparazzi and wants my f**king picture taken all the time.”
“I’m at my job and I’m trying to play a character and I’m trying to be serious, and this is the s**t that’s happening to me. It makes me furious.” Fox made a legal action last year after an acquaintance leaked candid photos from her horror film “Jennifer’s Body”.

Sherlyn Chopra to pose nude for Playboy?
Sherlyn Chopra is perhaps the boldest babe in Bollywood. Her sexy photo shoots for PETA made the guys feel weak in the knees. As if that’s not enough, she is going to adorn the cover of the men’s magazine Playboy. It is said that Sherlyn has received a call from Hugh Hefner’s office with the offer.
“I have never posed nude therefore I was a bit apprehensive about the offer. But I got a photographer friend to do a few test clicks and I loved the results.” The actress who is a regular with hot yoga says that her body is super flexible and that, “I can do positions which the magazine would love,” Sherlyn as saying.
“I wanted to meet him for a long time and the time has finally come. I will be going to his mansion. I have heard so many interesting stories about him and now it’s my chance to know him up, close and personal,” she added
