Mumbai, March 11: Konkona Sen Sharma doesn't want her forthcoming film "Ek Thi Daayan" to be tagged as her comeback movie.

"I have not thought of this film as my comeback. I am doing other films also," Konkona said here Sunday while promoting the film.
Directed by Kannan Iyer, "Ek Thi Daayan" is a horror thriller and it also features Emraan Hashmi, Huma Qureshi and Kalki Koechlin.
The actress says this is her first horror thriller.

Arunoday Sigh
By taking off his shirt and showing off his six pack in Aisha, 6 ft 4 inch tall actor Arunoday Singh earned himself a ?himbo? tag. Not just that, he also invited a flood of offers for similar roles in other films, something that the 28-year-old actor is disappointed by.
From a political family (he is the grandson of the Congressman, the late Arjun Singh), Arunoday found his calling in the arts during his boarding school days. Two movies, Dead Poet?s Society and On the Waterfront, awakened a desire to perform. University in America followed by acting school in New York led to odd acting jobs in New York and London. But the struggle got too much and eventually Arunoday found himself in Mumbai, armed with a wish list of directors and a dream. In 2009 he debuted in Piyush Jha?s Sikandar and since he has been in four movies ? Aisha,...

Vinay Shukla's tikhi, spicy and delectable, Mirch, is now available on DVD and Vcd, released by Reliance Home Video.
Mirch has four short stories that have the central theme of women's sexuality and more important, emancipation. Loosely based on stories from the Panchatantra, Mirch has mild doses of eroticism, both visual and verbal. What catches one’s fancy isn't the romps of cheating wives or the obvious sexual innuendos in the dialogues, but how cleverly and deftly the women slip out of the most challenging situations!
Mirch boasts of some of the best talent of Bollywood: Konkona Sen Sharma, Boman Irani, Shreyas Talpade, Shahana Goswami, Raima Sen, Arunoday Singh, Tisca Chopra, Rajpal Yadav, Prem Chopra, Ila Arun, Sushant Singh and Saurabh Shukla. There is a sizzling item number by Mahie Gill as well.

In my fourth year of compiling the list of the top ten actresses of the year, 2010 has definitely been the most challenging. Call me a cynic, but I believe that the Hindi film industry is going through a crisis of sorts in terms of female talent. Barring a few, the current crop of actresses seems to be stuck in limbo: we have several newcomers who are still learning how to act and veterans who aren't doing the kind of work they're capable of (I'm not naming any names!). Nevertheless, 2010 has seen some solid performances by actresses who have shown extreme growth, and that's certainly a bright sign for the future. So, who made the cut? Let's have a look.
10. Konkona Sen Sharma and Sonam Kapoor (tie)
They couldn't be more diametrically different, but these two actresses have both done decent work this year, though neither has really been particularly mindblowing.
