Once upon a time....

The media maybe saying great things about this thinning woman, but she is one helluva immature person. She blurts out whatever is in her head irrespective of the time, place or company. Take, for example, what she did at the Filmfare awards ceremony (I ended up you-tubing it thanks to a link by RedSoul! :P). She won the best actress award (Filmfare is unjustly skewed towards box office results and Vidya really deserved the award, but anyway..) and was given the mike for her acceptance speech.

So she starts out humbly by thanking the director of JWM, the movie that won her the award, and then moves on to say how she is disappointed at the director for not casting her in his second film!! I really don't understand what she was thinking when she said that! She is definitely not smart enough to think of the consequences. And so, the next day, I was expecting to read media reports filled with headlines of how dumb Bebo was to put the director on spot, and not realize that he had the right to cast whoever he thought was right for his film! But no, this blooper never came out in print or on the web...the media is all gaga over this old, immature, so-called glamsham girl and they nicely edit out all her stupidities while printing stories of her gracious behavior. I just can't imagine how many teenage girls will look upto her as a role model after reading these manipulative articles and want to adopt her qualities! Somebody needs to ammend these issues immediately! Where the heck are the industry critics hiding?

AHMEDABAD: "Dimpled cheeks, chiselled bones, beautiful girl, is that you, Yes, Yes, Yes!"

The age-old nursery rhyme might as well have to be re-written as the youth gift themselves this beauty features.

Anjali, who will turn 20 on March 10, is mesmerised with the deep dimples of her favourite star Shah Rukh Khan.

She gave herself a unique birthday gift on Saturday when she went under the scalpel to stitch up dimples in her plain cheeks.

Anjali works as an accountant with the Ahmedabad Stock Exchange. Though she is quite beautiful, she has always wanted a dimple.

"I have always nursed this dream of my cheeks sinking into exquisite hollows as I smile, just like Shah Rukh Khan."

Finally, she decided to undergo the surgery so that she gets dimpled cheeks in time for her 20th birthday. On Saturday, Anjali came to the plastic surgeon’s clinic directly from her office.

"We put an incision in the cheeks and then simply tag the smile muscle with the dermis of the skin with a suture. It is as simple as that," said plastic surgeon Dr Vijay Bhatia. An hour later, Anjali checked herself in the mirror, smiling ear to ear, her cheeks showing prominent dimples!

Plastic surgeons concede that the dimples of Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta have captured the imagination of young girls who want to flaunt the much-celebrated beauty feature on their faces.

Leading plastic surgeon Dr Hemant Saraiya says many middle aged women too are offering their cheeks for doctors to carve those lovely depressions. For just Rs 10,000, the hole in the cheek does not really leave a hole in the pocket.
