Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez, who is struggling to get into shape post pregnancy, has refused to go under knife for the perfect figure. The singer-actress says she is a "more natural" person.
Lopez gave birth to twins Max and Emme in February 2008 and gained around 60 pounds during her pregnancy.
"I thought the weight was going to drop off easily because I had been in shape my whole life. But it wasn't easy. It was an uphill struggle I had gained about 60 pounds during pregnancy," said Lopez.
"I don't see myself having any plastic surgery. I don't know how I will feel when I am older. But I am more of a natural person and I believe in beauty not being an outside, physical thing. Luckily, I'm used to seeing myself everywhere now that I am no longer obsessed about the way I look," she added.
"I have to say I feel awesome! I feel the same way I felt when I was in my 20s," said the 40-year-old who is married to Marc Anthony.

Amrita Rao

Amrita Rao was born in Mumbai, to a well-to-do Saraswat Brahmin family, on June 7th 1981. In Sanskrit "Amrita" is a drink which gives you immortality. This model-turned-actress has got the talent and beauty to be immortal in viewers mind.

Amrita never really dreamed to be an actress because she thought that with no contacts in the film industry, it would be a tough battle to establish her there. But she made it to Bollywood. Even though she has just acted in ten films so far, one of them is from Sooraj Barjatya. Her beauty bowled over acclaimed international painter M.F Husain and inspired him to make a series of paintings depicting her and her film "Vivah".

It all started when, while studying psychology at the Sophia College in Mumbai, she auditioned for "Fairever Cream" and to her surprise, got selected from among 60 other contestants. The close-up Ad campaign followed and it became a big success, granting her loads of offers. Within a year, she became one of the most sought-after models in India.

Her Cadbury's Perk and Nestle Bru Coffee advertisements fetched her offers from top directors, but she was apprehensive at first, as she wanted to complete her studies. After completing her studies, she signed Raj Kanwar's "Ab Ke Baras" which was also Raj Babbar's son Aarya's launch vehicle. The film didn't do as well as expected; she also got an offer to act in a historical film directed by Rajkumar Santoshi's "The legend of Bagath Singh", even though it was a small role.

"Ishq Vishk", with Shahid Kapur became a huge hit and earned her the girl-next-door image. She also won the best debutante award from Filmfare, Stardust and IIFA for the movie. She followed up the success with "Masti", a sex-comedy and "Main Hoon Na", which featured Shah Rukh Khan and gave her worldwide popularity. She also acted in "Deewaar", "Vaah! Life Ho To Aisi", "Shikhar", and "Pyare Mohan".

"Vivah", the Sooraj Barjatya movie is a big turning point of her career. Not only is the film a big success worldwide, but she has also gained a huge fan following of all ages through it. She and her co-star in the film, Shahid Kapur are considered the most promising pair after Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol.

The best thing about Amrita is that not only is she beautiful and talented, but she also has no hang-ups and is very down-to-earth, which makes her easy to work with. After "Vivah" she has lots of offers coming her way, but like before, she is taking it slow, waiting for the right scripts, because she knows "Slow and steady wins the race!"
