The dusky lady has so defied all conventions that it is hard to believe she belongs to the conservative Capricorn sun sign! But yes, being born on 7th January 1979, she is definitely one! However, her sun sign also is a one that many successful people belong to…

Born in Delhi, brought up in Kolkata and now living and working in Mumbai, this lady has travelled a lot. Before making her film debut in Ajnabee in 2001, she was a very successful model. She started modelling at 16 won Ford's Godrej Cinthol Supermodel contest in1996. She says she was a short, dark and round girl who was the neighbourhood goonda, however she was good at studies and was the head girl at Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan in Kolkata she wanted to take up medicine but that failed when she passed out during the dissection of a rat!

She is known for her dusky and sexy looks and has set the screen on fire with the likes of Jism, Race etc. No wonder then, that her name means 'dark, deep desire'. But, she doesn't rely on her sexy looks alone, she has done films like Apharan, Corporate etc which show her in a de-glam realistic way.
