She has modelled for various ad campaigns, which include Kit Kat, Taj Hotels, NIIT and Aristocrat whisky, but it was the Nescafe commercial that catapulted her to into the limelight. 

Many are not aware that Maushmi is a trained classical dancer from the Nalanda Dance University and is comfortable with all styles of dancing, ranging from Western to Indian, reports Bollywood Trade. 

Maushmi is all excited about her appearance in a condom ad. "My latest ad campaign is for Zaroor condoms, where I am wearing a sari and it's a very clean ad. It basically gives out a social message, especially to the youth who get carried away very easily. It's also about women empowerment and the tagline is 'Male fantasy', reveals Maushmi. 

She was earlier seen donning a white sari with her long open tresses in Bally Sagoo's music video "Noorie". The other popular videos she has appeared in include Nitin Bali's "Neele Neele ambar par" and Arvinder Singh's "Pani sharaab mein". 

Needless to say, her music albums have created quite a stir and she has already shot for another video for Priyadarshan's forthcoming film "Bhagam Bhaag". "I have just shot for the eight-minute promotional song of 'Bhagam Bhaag' called 'Aafareen' with Akshay Kumar and Govinda. It's a fast racy number with an opera feel to it. It has been shot in a very stylised way and I am really excited about it", gushes the Nescafe lass.

"I am basically an introvert. It was so sweet of Akshay to come and introduce himself to me. Even Govinda was very cordial and down to earth. They both made me feel damn comfortable. I had a blast on the sets," she adds.

She has another music album lined up which is sung by Sonu Kakkad of "Babujee" fame and directed by Siddarth Raj Anand, known for his "Salaam Namaste". "It's called 'dil saara chumbak hai'. Ahmed Khan has choreographed it and it's a hard-core dance number. It will release very soon," exclaims Maushmi.

Her debut film "Lips - The Kiss of Death", opposite Anuj Saxena is said to be an emotional romantic thriller. 

"The entire film has been shot in New York. I play the main protagonist in the film and it is produced by a US-based production company owned by S. Khimani. It is a romantic thriller though I am open to all kinds of roles, in fact, I can do great comedy and can play sensitive characters onscreen because I am a very emotional and sensitive in real life. Also, I'm a complete romantic person at heart so basically I want to exhibit my versatility on screen," she says.

Anubhav Sinha to shoot on international airports!

Bollywood has never shot films associated to flying and mid-air crisis, but aviation enthusiasts have something to look forward to in director Anubhav Sinha's upcoming film "The Airport".

However, Sinha, who directed the action-thriller "Dus", does not want to go into details right now, reports Bollywood Trade. 

"Actually it's too early to comment. I can't reveal much at this point. What I can say is that 'The Airport' is a hard-core action film. I'm currently in talks with seven to eight countries since I need to finalise two international airports for the shooting. It has a huge star cast though nothing has been finalised as of now", says Sinha. 

"Well, It takes a lot to come up with unique and exclusive concepts like this and ideas sure don't click overnight. A lot of passion, hard work and grit and determination go into it," he adds.

"I've been watching such action-packed films ever since I was a kid; so somewhere, subconsciously it must have left an impact on my mind", notes Sinha.

Deepal Shaw is back with a bang!

Item girl Deepal Shaw, popularly known as 'Baby doll' who has made waves with her music videos like "Kabhi Aar Kabhi Paar", is all ready to shoot for her next Bollywood film.

After "Kalyug", her next film tentatively titled "Tumse" is set to roll this October along with Irfan Khan in the main lead, reports Bollywood Trade.

"'Tumse' is basically about human psychology and emotions with love as its backdrop. It shows how people react to different situations and repent later", says an elated Deepal.

"It's about how love creates hassles in their lives, while rescuing them from various situations at the same time. It's like when love ceases to be a secret, it ceases to be a pleasure", adds the actress.

Her performance in "Kalyug" as a porn star, created quite a flutter when the film hit the marquee. She says, "My performance in "Kalyug" was well appreciated and I hope to do better in future. I want to get better with every performance and "Tumse" is one such opportunity. The script is very unpredictable, the music is a blend of celebration and illusion, which makes it outstanding."

"Moreover the title is such that a layman would be able to relate to it, considering the common usage of the word "Tumse" in our everyday life, apart from love being a pivotal part of people's lives makes it even more real", she quips.
