The Dark Side of Deepika Padukone

Actress Deepika Padukone began November on a busy note, launching Stardust magazine's issue for the month, of which she is the cover girl.

Deepika sizzled in a slinky black Nikhil Thampi outfit that was all business in front and party in the back.

The Dimpled One was all smiles - and why not, her film Happy New Year is raking it in at the box office.

Deepika was also spotted at Mumbai's Siddhivinayak Temple to offer prayers and thanks for the blockbuster success of Happy New Year.

The ravishing actress, again dressed in black, exited the temple with a red tika on her forehead.

Coming up - Deepika, Kareena, Sushmita's Sen-sational Style

Actress Deepika Padukone, who is basking in the success of her latest release Happy New Year, was spotted outside a posh restaurant in Mumbai on October 29.

Deepika rocked a distress-boyfriend denim with a lace top teamed with loafers and side sling bag. Bright red lips finished her look.

Meanwhile, former Miss Universe and actress Sushmita Sen was sighted at a clinic's opening in Mumbai.

The actress wore a bright red and beige poncho top over white crop pant. She accessorised her look with a gold statement necklace and matching bracelet and pumps.

Sushmita seemed to be having a gala time with the clinic's first few visitors.

We also came across, actress Kareena Kapoor's pictures from a photoshoot for a jewellery brand. The actress looked regal in rich beige and maroon lehenga with an embroidered dupatta.

Coming Up - Weekend Whirlwind: Alia, Sushmita, Ileana

Given their unpredictable schedules, it is only fair that Bollywood's female brigade take time off to spend with family, friends and indulge in other activities apart from shooting for their films.

Actress Alia Bhatt was spotted outside a restaurant in Mumbai on October 5. Though the actress looked far from camera-ready, in a short black dress and no make-up, she graciously posed for the photogs present to get a glimpse of her.

A day earlier, Sushmita Sen was spotted at a theatre in Mumbai along with her mother Subhra Sen and daughters Renee and Alisah.

Actress Ileana D'Cruz was spotted at the launch of Dr Jaishree Sharad's book Skin Talk. She looked elegant in a simple black dress.

The event was also graced by superstar Amitabh Bachchan and actor Neetu Singh.

Mr Bachchan makes some remark which makes Neetu Singh burst into laughter.

Mr Bachchan is confused why he is being asked to pose for a selfie with Tamanchey stars Richa Chadda and Nikhil Dwivedi.

Singer Shankar Mahadevan, his wife Sangeeta and TV host Manish Paul were also at the launch.
