Actress Minissha Lamba recently turned down a - hold your breath - Rs 50-lakh offer to be the face of a national talent hunt contest titled ‘Star Makers Item Bomb 2008′ only because she didn’t like the name of the show. A spokesperson for the organizers of the event Star Makers said that they had contacted Minissha to represent the project as the face and the brand ambassadress for the contest which is a Reality Show to be aired on a popular national entertainment channel.

Apparently, Minissha asked the organizers to come up with a different name for the contest as ‘Item Bomb’ sounded and felt very raunchy and down market. The stumped organizers said they would get back to her if that was possible. “Minissha liked the concept and wanted to be a part of the project but she didn’t like the name of the event, said Sia Jaiswal, Manager - Projects, StarMakers India.

As an investigative journalist, she has just started off her career and hence doesn’t come with an excess baggage. One can safely presume that she is uncorrupted by politics around her.” Continue reading ‘Minissha: Firebrands don’t talk rubbish’

Starting her career with the acclaimed film YAHAAN, actress Minissha Lamba has acted in quite a few remarkable films like COPORATE, ANTHONY KAUN HAI?, ROCKY, HONEYMMON TRAVELS PVT LTD, DUS KAHANIYAAN in the last three years.

The actress faces an acid test in the film SHAURYA, where she portrays the character of a war reporter. Here are the excerpts of the interview Minissha Lamba.

What do you understand by the word SHAURYA?

For me, the word SHAURYA means the presence of many positive characteristics within oneself, before commencing something courageous. SHAURYA doesn’t mean you forget all your jobs and come to the street showing off your power against something odd. SHAURYA means that you remain good-natured, but build yourself so tough that no one can utilize your decency. Continue reading ‘Interview Minissha Lamba’

Minissha lamba stands tall

Minissha Lamba is an aberration… Unlike most actresses, this Punjabi kudi hates to go clubbing and pubbing like the majority of her contemporaries and prefers to spend quality time with few close friends instead.

We bumped into her recently as she was chilling out with her gal pals at a suburban multiplex. As soon as we got talking, the beautiful but really ‘tiny’ lass was glad to share with us her experience of working with India’s biggest production house Yash Raj.

Her presence in Mumbai surprised us to a certain extent as we had expected her to be in Australia busy shooting for Siddharth Anand’s next for Yash Raj. This is the first big banner film of Minissha, where she’ll be seen sharing the screen with three other stunning supermodels turned actresses! Continue reading ‘Minissha lamba stands tall’

No man, no cry: Minissha Lamba

Being off the silver screen for so long doesn’t worry Minissha Lamba. The petite actress, who burst on the scene with Yahan , might be yahan-wahan today, but her pet peeve is something entirely different – she doesn’t like the Bob Marley song No woman, no cry.

Single and happy, Minissha says, “How could Marley ever write a song like that? And why don’t women have such a song for men? I’d rather call it No man, no cry. There are no boyfriends in my life right now and life’s rocking.”

So there may be no men in Minissha’s life, but she certainly is in love – with beaches. She is gearing up to hit the beach for two weeks. “I’m off to Mauritius for a bit and I’m so happy to be getting out of the country. Continue reading ‘No man, no cry: Minissha Lamba’
