Lucky Number Khallas started it and Ishq Samundar clinched it: Koppikar8217;s reputation as Bollywood8217;s item specialist after Shilpa Shetty was established. These days, she is all over the music channels. 8216;8216;My remix Bhor by Bandish Projekt is burning up the charts,8217;8217; she proudly informs us. She loves items: 8216;8216;If something tickles my fancy, I8217;ll do it.8217;8217;
Derring-Do She dared to go where only Shabana Azmi and Nandita Das had ventured in Fire. Koppikar isn8217;t to be blamed if she got flak for her lesbian act in Girlfriend. After all, while Azmi and Das had Deepa Mehta, Koppikar was stranded with Karan Razdan.
Skin Show Koppikar says post-Girlfriend, she8217;s become more selective. In the works: Inteqaam, a desi Basic Instinct, with Manoj Bajpai; Hansal Mehta8217;s love story Humrahi; and a Balaji campus romance, Kya Kool Hain Hum.
Lucky Number She plans to open her account with a remix of a Madhuri song. Which one? She hasn8217;t decided yet.
Derring-Do She charted out her career path. Step One: Play a widow opposite Milind Soman in Surya. Step Two: Move on to a bubbly young thing in the comedy Fun2oosh: Dudes Of The 10th Century. Step Three: A sex kitten in Aruna Raje8217;s Tum. But since the first film hasn8217;t been released to date, we only saw Netanya in Step Two and Three. She has learnt her lesson and doesn8217;t want to be 8216;8216;labelled a sex girl as others are8217;8217;.
Skin Show She plays a simple, innocent lass in Kathak starring Himanshu Malik and directed by Murli Chandramukhi. Singh also stars in an English flick with Nagarjuna where she plays a prostitute who changes track and decides to help other women.
Lucky Number She made her debut as a mannequin who moonlights as a fairy. But Khan was no ordinary fairy, she wiggled her booty in Chadti Jawaani and got recognised. She then coochie-cooed with toons in Shaadi Ka Laddoo. The film bombed but the song Chal Hatt! worked. Her remixed Chhodh Do Aanchal is on air.
Derring-Do Recently Khan was all over the Internet. Some hot pictures8212;she had allegedly posed topless for a Norwegian men8217;s mag8212;created a stir. There are doubts about her age, too. But Khan is unaffected. 8216;8216;I haven8217;t started wearing more clothes than usual just because of these incidents.8217;8217;
Skin Show Is currently shooting for Hello, Kaun Hai, a thriller by newcomer Rakesh Sawant. She plays a rich college girl opposite Adam Bedi. Chehre Pe Chehra pits her opposite Suneil Shetty, Raveena Tandon and boyfriend Sahil Khan of Style fame. 8216;8216;My schedule is completely full and when I get about three days free, I do a song. I love remixes8212;you can be completely bindaas, unlike when you8217;re acting in films,8217;8217; she says.
Lucky Number Nobody noticed poor Esha Deol in Chura Liya Hai Tumne. Sawant8217;s tight corset and perky assets grabbed eyeballs in the hit Mohabbat Hai Mirchi. Next she hopped into secretarial gear complete with push-up bra for remix Pardesiya. And followed that up as the college hottie in Main Hoon Na.
Derring-Do Just when you thought she couldn8217;t top that, there was a cameo in Indra Kumar8217;s Masti where she plays a woman who has a male8230; er8230; organ.
Skin Show Will soon be seen in Deepak Tijori8217;s Shilpa Shetty-starrer Khamosh. 8216;8216;I8217;m playing myself, a glam actress, and even get to keep my own name,8217;8217; she says. The film has only one song, and Shilpa gets to shake her booty to that one. But Sawant8217;s definitely not going to disappoint her fans. She8217;ll be performing in 12 O8217;Clock, The Midnight, a remake of the classic Teesri Manzil. Sawant plays Helen8217;s role, while Koppikar is Asha Parekh. She8217;s also producing and dancing in a video tentatively titled Teekha Teekha.
Lucky Number She rocked remix land with Kaliyon Ka Chaman and brought Bappi Lahiri back from hibernation. Nylon Naidu is an icon for the likes of Shefali Jariwala, Negar Khan and company. After all, she is the original raunch in remix, you know. Coming up is an item number in the film AK 47: Nasha.
Derring-Do Has a penchant for acting in films such as Hawas and Husn. Loves to play the straying wife. She shares the will-kiss-anyone-on-screen crown with Mallika Sherawat.
Skin Show Naidu plays a bar dancer who discovers classical dance with Mithun Chakravarty in B Subhash8217;s Classic. She has also signed Karan Razdan8217;s suspense thriller 8, a Tamil film with T Rajendra and Jackpot with Himanshu Malik.
Lucky Number She jived to Raat More Saiyaan Ne in the eminently forgettable Akshay Kumar-starrer Police Force. Since nobody saw the film, we bet nobody heard the song.
Derring-Do Her claim to fame is the item song she didn8217;t do for Samir Karnik8217;s Kyun! Ho Gaya Na8230; The buzz is the song was so good that when leading lady Aishwarya Rai heard it, she had to do it herself.
Skin Show After Sanjay Gupta8217;s Plan, she struts her stuff with competition Bipasha Basu, Amrita Arora and Neha Dhupia in Mahesh Manjrekar8217;s Rakht. Then she plays an aggressive jilted wife in KS Adiyaman8217;s Tumse Milkar and an older woman who charms a student in TLV Prasad8217;s sex comedy Tauba Tauba. 8216;8216;Many of my movies are based on sex because the current trend is such,8217;8217; she says.
