Faces that fascinates Babetude!

Babetude's in the mood to praise some female faces in this new post. And I would like to talk about something contemporary this time around after all the nice classic stuff we spoke about for a while now. After going international so many times, it would be nice to talk of some desi stuff today! So have a look at some nice Indian faces...

Oh yeah, I know it's kind of a frivolous topic but then once in a while a little fun is fine, right?

After travelling a bit and reading and researching so much I realise that on an international platform it's a totally different ball game. Many non-Indians think,the typical Indian beauty can look pretty but is not hot enough.It's difficult to experiment with her look and in the end she ends up looking the same and very typical over and over again.

That's why maybe we hardly had any Indian international actor or model who could do as well internationally as Jessica Alba, Gisele Bundchen, Salma Hayek or Penelope Cruz.

That way Freida Pinto is far more international in the sense that she could morph into various characters regardless of its nationality. Her figure, face and style are also best suited for the international platform. So she anded up right there...

Though she was hardly noticed in Bollywood(she herself said many thought she was too flat chested), she created quite a sensation abroad.She still has a long way to go but she's already made a really good start.


Now let's get back to where we were- the Indian beauties.

The new movie 'Dabbang', I heard many good things about. The film hasn't released as yet where I stay and I guess it's a film for the masses and not the classes.

But most importantly I really like the new girl's face. Sonakshi Sinha. It's not that I like her just because she's a star daughter.



There's something about a face that really catches Babetude's attention. The faces should be one of a kind, it should register and stay on my mind. Well, some say this one does look like a few Indian heroines of yesteryears'. But she's the modern version and is chic and dresses up really nicely.



Three years ago it was Sonam Kapoor who caught Babetude's attention.This girl looks very, very classy with her lovely long hair,long legs and chiseled facial features. And her amazing fashion sense which she presents at various events is like the ulitimate icing on the cake.

It's always good if an actress knows how to dress up.That way, it's easy to stand out in a crowd where the competition is so very intense.



A coupla years before that it was Soha Ali Khan. Well, some of these faces never went on to become big stars.

But I'm talking about just a few fasinating faces here with good bone structure and a different look. I must admit that I get mighty tired of seeing the same type of faces over and over again in the media. On Indian Television, almost all look the same. It's really very boring and many abroad who gather the courage to view Indian soaps at times, feel the same.

And the normal favorites and hit faces in the Indian movie industry don't interest me.



Frankly speaking, I never cared about stars as they are here today and gone tomorrow. No one could sustain as long as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan anyway! Yes, Kareena Kapoor could be the next one, but then it's also her family background that helped her in a big way.


Ash is considered an international beauty and no matter what her detractors say, that will never change.Will Smith, Oprah, Julia Roberts and closer to the country of her birth, Ashutosh Gowarikar and others have vouched for her immense beauty and charm.

Asin and Deepika Padkone, both Southern belles caught my eye when they made their first appearance on screen.



These two sure are true blue Indian beauties.


And for sure my old favorites, Amrita and Genelia who can really pass off as twins at times. They have developed a similar fashion sense too! These two can real be considered the perfect examples of homely beauties who can look youthful and bubbly for a long, long time!


Most of these girls I talk about aren't great actresses. I don't blame them much since there are very few substantial Hindi movies made. Soha is good with student/ journo kind of roles and Amrita with simple and village belle kind of roles. But there aren't too many such roles in Bollywood and the stardom has eluded both of them.


Riddhima Kapoor Sahni never went on to act. But her social appearances, modelling and her wedding and work always made news, thanks to her famous Kapoor background.She knows how to portray the face of a classy and dignified married woman from a respectable family. She looks quite like her mother Neetu Kapoor nee Singh, though Neetu was far more bubbly and lively.







Sarika was an amazing beauty of her times and still looks quite stunning. Daughter Shruti is very pretty too with a nice voice. I just hope she reaches her full potential and make her very talented actor parents prouder!




Ayesha Takia could fascinate with her face too,and her acting was okay. But weight problems got her a lot of flak.Now she's married and I guess we won't see much of her on the silver screen again.




Same goes for Esha Deol. She started with a bang, danced really well and she was liked a bit because she resembled her mother, dream girl Hema Malini a lot( though Mommy was far more charming and charismatic).She's making a comeback with Mommy's help, so maybe she will live up to some of the expectations finally! Let's wait and watch.
