With duds like ‘Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya’ and ‘Jeans’ (Tamil), when everybody had almost written her off till she bounced back with a stunning performance in ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’. ‘Taal’ set her on equal footing with the reigning Goddess Madhuri Dixit.

Wind of Cricket Sehwag
Virender Sehwag is an Indian cricketer (batsman) and member of the Indian national cricket team since 1998 (one-dayers) and 2001 (Tests). He was giving the vice-captaincy of the Indian team on July 18, 2005.
He born on October 20, 1978, in Delhi. He is a right-handed batsman.
He is often compared to Sachin Tendulkar in his early days due to the similar batting style.
He has scored over 3,000 ODI runs at a strike rate of 95.78 runs per 100 balls which makes him one of the fastest batsmen in the world. He has also scored over 5,000 runs in first-class cricket at an average of more than 50 with 18 first class centuries.
In ODI cricket, he is known for his aggressive, dazzling batting style, and does not hesitate to play unorthodox shots. He is at his element in the first 15 overs of the one-day game, dispatching the ball to the fence with ease and panache. It has been noted that his technique is very similar to Sachin Tendulkar, with whom he forms a most dangerous and equally entertaining opening pair. Sehwag is also a useful spin bowler.
Sehwag has adapted to both the forms of the game. In the longer version of the game, he plays to ensure that he does not lose his wicket quickly although he scores at a rapid rate.
On March 29, 2004 he became the first ever Indian batsman and only the 4th Asian batsman to score 300 runs in a Test innings, playing against Pakistan at Multan. He scored a total 309 runs in that innings. Interestingly he reached the milestone with a six becoming the only batsman to reach a triple ton with a sixer. He later auctioned the bat with which he made the record, for Rs. 70,000, to aid in relief efforts for the tsunami victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.
Sehwag married Arti Alhawat in April, 2004 under heavy security in a media publicized wedding. Sehwag is fondly referred to in the media as the Prince of Najafgarh, Najafgarh being his home locality in Delhi.

Bold & Beauty Sharapova
Superstar of Tennis world Sharapova
Maria Sharapova has recently gone to No.1 stage in Women’s Tennis.
Maria Sharapova was born on April 19, 1987 in Nyagan, Russia. Six feet tall, muscular and blonde, Sharapova turned pro in 2001 at the young age of 14. The tennis prodigy and her father had moved from Russia to Florida when she was nine so that Sharapova could study at the tennis academy of Nick Bollettieri. Sharapova steadily worked her way up through the pro ranks, claiming her first WTA victory at the 2003 AIG Japan Open.
In the year 2003 she was voted one of the "coolest girls" in America, Sharapova rapidly rises up the rankings. She makes her grand slam debut in the Australian Open and also qualifies for the French Open. Then, after reaching the semi-finals at Edgbaston, she progresses to the fourth round at Wimbledon, the best-ever performance by a female wild card.
In 2004 Sharapova stunned the tennis world by defeating defending champion Serena Williams in the singles finals at Wimbledon to win the prestigious tournament at age 17.
Sharapova's name is pronounced sha-ra-POH-vuh... She also has been called the Queen of Screams for her habit of grunting loudly while hitting the ball. According to the WTA Tour website, Sharapova Enjoys reading books in the Sherlock Holmes and Pippi Longstocking series.
By winning her second Birmingham title in 2005, Sharapova has a 17-match winning streak on grass (dating back to June 2004)
Maria Sharapova has become the first Russian to be the top-ranked player in women's tennis.
The 18-year-old has replaced American Lindsay Daveport at the top of the WTA rankings, having won three tournaments this year. But many may view her rise to the top as a result of circumstance rather than her form this year, as the current injury to Davenport comes after fellow top players Kim Clijsters, Justine Henin-Hardenne and Serena Williams all had similar problems.
That will matter little to the Siberia-born, US-raised Sharapova, however, who will now receive some comfort after seeing her Wimbledon title taken from her by Venus Williams, who beat her in the semi-final this year.
The 18 year-old hot player is on the World’s eye.
