Minding their business…




Drop dead gorgeous looks may not last forever, but a bankable brand name will continue to reap benefits for years. Tinsel town beauties are probably aware of the fact and have been bitten hard by the business bug. Bachchan Bahu- Aishwarya’s character in Sarkar Raj may not have been successful in setting up a power plant in the film. But in real life, Ash is all set to make a big investment in the alternative energy department. What’s interesting is that no assistance of any sort has been taken from her influential in-laws. Aishwarya, as a matter of fact, may give tough competition to the Bachchan parivar by starting her own production house too. Sigh! Just when things for ABCL started to look a tad better.

Actresses Kareena Kapoor and Bipasha Basu are ready to take the fashion industry by storm. The two don’t exactly share a liking for each other, but they sure do share a likeness. Both of them have taken on as brand ambassadors of their signature clothing and apparel lines. Ayesha Takia has already been polishing her hospitality skills by investing in restaurants in Mumbai and Goa. The pretty actress will partner boyfriend Farhan Azmi in starting a chain of hotels across India. That Preity Zinta is a gifted businesswoman is no secret post the Indian Premier League. Everyone watched in awe as Preity and her Kings XI team hugged their way to the important semi final position of the tourney.

While Sushmita Sen is busy crafting a film on Rani Laxmibai under her production banner, actress turned star wife Twinkle Khanna’s tending to a flourishing candle making business. Bollywood actresses’ entrepreneurial incline isn’t a new phenomenon though. Interestingly, a little known actress of the 50s is the inspiration behind it all. Watch the video to find out whodunit!
