In 2004, she was also considered to play opposite Aryaman in Rajkumar Santoshi's Hindi film, 'Family'. But the character was removed at a scripting level when the film was getting too lengthy.

Expressive, beautiful and blessed with a natural star appeal, Koel is an Odissi dancer as well. With in a short span of time she became one of the most happening stars in the Bengali film industry. She also acted in supporting roles in popular films like 'Yuddho', 'M. L. A. Fatakeshto', 'Minister Fatakeshto', 'Chander Bari' etc.

Carey Mulligan was born on 28th May 1985 in London, England. The British actress won global acclaim for her Oscar-nominated portrayal of teenage wild child Jenny Miller in the coming-of age-drama An Education.She landed the role, based on the autobiographic memoir of British journalist Lynn Barber, after praise for her acting debut as Kitty Bennett in Pride & Prejudice in 2005.

For the following eight years she and her brother lived in a series of upmarket hotels and was educated at the International School of Düsseldorf in Germany before returning to the UK where she went to Woldingham School in Surrey.After an early interest in the academic side of school, Mulligan - who admits she had been quite "strait-laced" - became more interested in acting after seeing her brother perform in a school production of The King.

Her mother, who had taken her from the age of fourteen to see Broadway shows while in New York, enouraged her to study at Reading University in England.However, Mulligan claims that, before she began professionally acting, she had once "secretly" applied to and been rejected by three drama schools on her university application form.Passing up on the opportunity to go to university, she met screenwriter and producer Julian Fellowes who introduced her to a casting agent who was looking for an unknown to star in Pride & Prejudice.

Less successfully, she appeared in The Greatest starring alongside Pierce Brosnan and Susan Sarandon, playing a pregnant girlfriend, but the film struggled to get a distributor.However, it was the role of 16-year-old Jenny in An Education - given to the actress when she was 22 - that got her noticed with Golden Globe, BAFTA and Oscar nominations for best actress.Subsequent appearances have included the widow of an American soldier killed in Afghanistan in the US remake of the Scandinavian drama Brothers.

Charlize Theron was born on 7th August 1975, in rural Benoni, South Africa, to co-owners of a road construction company, Charles and Gerda. The Afrikaans-speaking family lived on a working farm outside of Johannesburg, and although Theron's childhood chores included tending livestock, her passion for dance became evident early on. To foster her artistic leanings, Theron began ballet lessons at age six.

As Charles struggled with alcoholism, he became physically abusive. In 1991, when Theron was 15, her father violently attacked her and her mother. Theron watched as Gerda shot and killed Charles; the murder was deemed an act of self-defense, and Gerda was never charged with a crime. In the wake of the death, Gerda assumed ownership of the company, and Theron concocted the long-standing story.

In 1994, a destitute Theron argued with a bank teller, who refused to allow her to pull funds from a South African account. Theron's subsequent fit earned the attention of a fellow bank patron John Crosby, a Hollywood manager who represented talent including John Hurt and Rene Russo. He immediately offered to sign Theron and, within months, she made her acting debut in a small role in Children of the Corn III (1995).

The Cider House Rules with Tobey Maguire. In 2001, she reteamed with Reeves for the tearjerker Sweet November, and two years later she starred opposite Mark Wahlberg in the heist thriller The Italian Job (2003). However, her performance in 2003's Monster—a biopic about serial killer Aileen Wuornos—earned her widespread respect. Theron gained close to 40 pounds for the role, and her gritty, gripping performance won her both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe.

Gwen Stefani was born on 3rd October 1969, in Orange County, California.

Stefani recorded her first solo album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. in 2004. The album was primarily inspired by music of the 1980s, and emerged an international success with sales of over seven million.

When they broke up she wrote the hit single "Don't Speak" in memory of their relationship. She wears a necklace with the letter "G" on it representing her boyfriend Gavin Rosedale's initial.

She is still romantically linked with the lead singer of Bush, Gavin Rossdale, and the rock star pair have been involved for at least 5 years. But the spunky singer paired up with Moby to add her infectious voice to his single, "South Side".

Star, 34, reportedly initiated the split with the 36-year-old actress.She did not take it very well when he broke it off. She knows deep down that it wouldn't have worked, but she is pretty bummed out about it all," the source continued.

The pair's busy work schedules were also to blame for their romance ending.They're both too busy, a friend of the "Prometheus" actress told the mag. And they were hardly ever together anyway.Ryan and Charlize's romance was first reported in July after the actor's motorcycle was spotted at Charlize's house and he was spotted exiting the home just moments before the actress.

In June, Charlize appeared on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight" where she said she was single. She also noted that she was looking for a serious relationship, but not necessarily marriage.I really want for myself a long-term relationship, and I have been in long-term relationships," she said at the time. "That's the kind of union that I want. The actual ceremony is not something that is important to me, but I see the importance for other people.I treat my relationships like marriages.
