mandira bedi in her hot bikini n chaddi u will love it
After proving herself as an actor and an anchor on the small screen, Mandira Bedi is now all set to shake a leg for Star Plus's special Independence Day show.
"This will be the first time I will be dancing on the small screen and I'm pretty excited about it," Mandira said on the sidelines of an event organised by Timex watches.
"I'm not a good dancer but I'm giving it a shot. I'm hopeful that my fans will like my dancing act," she added.
Not many people know that Mandira has done an item number for Tamil movie Manmadhan in 2004. Her dancing skills were also seen in the 1995 blockbuster Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge in the song Mehndi laga ke rakhna where she matched steps with Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.
So now what about doing an item number for Bollywood?
Mandira says she is open to the idea but is waiting for the right offer. "A peppy song and a good banner will make a perfect combination," Mandira said.
The actress, who was last seen on the big screen in Sanjay Gupta's Dus Kahaniyaan, is now all geared up for Pritish Nandy's Meerabai Not Out—a cricket-centric film in which India's test captain Anil Kumble plays a cameo.
The cricket crazy actress essays the lead role in the film. Her association with cricket started when she hosted Extraa Innings during the World Cup tournament in 2003 and 2007 and became known more for her noodle-strapped blouses.
Talking about her role, Mandira said: "In this movie, I eat, drink and sleep cricket. It is all about cricket fans and their love for sport heroes. And this is the first time [Anil] Kumble will appear on screen. It will be a treat to see him acting on the silver screen."
The actress, who made an everlasting impression with her with long-running soap Shanti on Doordarshan, is not interested in doing any more serials.
"Shanti was a dream debut for me. It was a long series but not a stretched soap drama that we have nowadays. It is so boring for me to be a part of these never ending dramas," said Mandira, who featured in a negative role in Ekta Kapoor's Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thhi.
Achint Kaur is now essaying the character.
Mandira is mostly anchoring reality shows now. Recently she finished hosting music show Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar and has now replaced Bhojpuri actor Ravi Kishen as the anchor of Zee TV's reality show Ek Se Badkar Ek.

I play a judge with sex on my mind: Chunky Pandey to mallika arora
Chunky Pandey is now the latest who has jumped on the bandwagon of celebrity judges. Along with Malaika Arora Khan, he would be judging celebrity contestants for the reality dance show Zara Nachke Dikha which has kick started on Star One this week.
"However, while Malaika has been roped in as the sexiest judge on television, I play the role of a judge who always has sex on the mind", quips Chunky Pandey while describing the show which is being touted as the 'war of the sexes'.
Why 'war of the sexes'? Because Zara Nachke Dikha has a format which would witness television actresses competing against the actors! While the girls team comprises of Delnaz Paul, Mouni Roy, Maninee Day, Rupali Ganguly, Karishma Tanna, Jennifer Winget and Sweeni Khare, the all-boys gang includes Ali Asghar, Amit Tandon, Bakhtiyar Irani, Manish Goel, Chaitanya Chowdhury, Vikas Sethi Gaurav Chippra and Amey Pandya.
"It is sheer fun to be sitting out there and being witness to such fabulous performances. Also, thankfully it would be a happy outing overall since till the very last episode, there won't be any elimination. I always like to have fun on and off the screen and thankfully the show's format allows me to be my witty self", says Chunky who is thoroughly enjoying a new phase of his career where he would be seeing more than half a dozen films of his releasing over next few months.
However, coming back to the show, what really attracted him to get into the garb of a judge?
"Let's be realistic here; things have changed since I made my big screen debut close to two decades ago". At that time television was just a medium for entertainment with two or three programs calling for attention. Today, it is a huge arena out there. You have to be on TV if you are looking at enhanced visibility. I don't see any harm there at all. And lest one forgets, I was one of the pioneers of appearing on TV years back when stars shied away from doing so."
When exactly? "Remember Superhit Muqabla when you were a kid and wanted to watch something different from those routine Chitrahaar," askes Chunky. "This was the time when the Doordarshan Metro channel was launched and I was roped in as a host for Superhit Muqabla. While Baba Sehgal kick started the show, I too hosted close to 20 episodes out of the 100 odd ones that had gone on air."
So how is he finding his stint as a judge? "Zara Nachke Dikha is an interesting concept with Adam fighting against Eve. And the one who is having maximum fun is me. I have hosted TV shows in the past but being on the judge's chair gives you a different high altogether. And mind you, Malaika sitting next to you is always an added bonus", adds Chunky.
On the movie front too, Chunky has a lot to look forward to. His upcoming releases are Daddy Cool, Sankat City, Paying Guest, Khalbali Hai Khalbali and Hello Darling.
