Successor in Chief in Bollywood!

Deepika Padukone is the one to watch in Bollywood. She cuts a lithe figure and is different from the other budding actresses. Her expressive face is downright beautiful and that mysterious smile and adorable lips. Born in Sweden, she is the daughter of the famed world class Indian badminton player, Prakash Padukone.

I think she is appearing in more movies than modeling jobs these days. Her Levi Signature advertisement is very cheeky, don't you think?

Watch the following three videos and see the charms of Deepika!

There are many varieties of durians in the market these days. You can try them and give your own assessment; of the new hybrids that they have developed over the years through durian research. Some durians are so aromatic but do not taste as good. Then we have the others that just taste wonderful even though they may lose out in the aroma department.
