Let’s hand it to all those Pakistani girls who are trying to make it big in Bollywood. There is a reason for it. Bollywood is a larger market and it showcases your talent in a much better way.

News is that Humaima Malik is trying to cut a deal with celebrated Indian producer and director Vidhu Vinod Chopra for his next film. Yes, the same guy who directed films like Parinda and produced super-duper hits Munna Bhai MBBS and 3 Idiots. If Humaima M is able to sign up for the film, it’ll be a great accomplishment for her.

On the subject of Indian films and Pakistani girls, according to a report, model Mehreen Syed and actress Mona Lisa (who now goes by the name of Sarah Loren) are also vying for good roles in Bollywood flicks. Way to go, girls!
