Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has been chosen as the "tattoo queen" by the organisers of the first Tattoo Convention in India. The 25-year-old star sports tattoos of her former boyfriend's initials and another one of an anklet. After watching her in a remixed song in the upcoming film Dum Maaro Dum, IndiaInk Invention got in touch with the model-turned-actress and requested her to visit their first-ever convention. They were keen on her presence at the expo as they consider the Om Shanti Om actress to be the "tattoo queen". However, the actress could not attend the convention as she was abroad for a film shoot. With her own much-written about RK tattoo at the base of her neck and the cutting-edge Dum Maaro Dum tattoo she's seen sporting in the movie, she would have been the perfect ambassador for this tattoo expo. As Deepika was shooting in London for Desi Boyz, she could not attend the event, but forwarded the invitation to her Dum Maaro Dum team. Abhishek Bachchan, Prateik and Rohan Sippy attended the convention instead.
If you can't make it big in films, or find a man to settle down with, turn to production. That has been the mantra for most Bollywood ladies lately. Sushmita Sen was the first to venture this way. Although her dream production, a film on Jhansi Ki Rani Laxmibai couldn't take off from the planning stage, she paved the way for others. The latest addition to the list, however, is the Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai girl Amisha Patel. The actress has planned a big bash over the weekend for her friends and relatives wherein she will announce the launch of her production house, Amisha Patel Productions. She, of course will not be doing this alone. Her friend Kunal who has been keeping her company at many social events including Shilpa Shetty's bash, Imran Khan's wedding reception and the New Year celebrations in Dubai, will be the partner. Explaining how Amisha turn producer, a source added, "Amisha has a lot of interesting content which she wants to convert into films. Very soon, she shall be appointing a team full of promising and accomplished directors to start making movies for her."
