<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Career">Career</span></h2>Bhatia started her acting career in 2005 as a heroine in <i>Chand Sa Roshan Chehra</i>, her only Hindi film to date. The same year, she debuted in Telugu cinema in <i>Sri</i>, playing the leading female role opposite Manoj Kumar. In 2006, she made her debut in the Tamil film industry in <i>Kedi</i>, produced by A. M. Rathnam, along with Ravi Krishna and another newcomer, Ileana D'Cruz.<br />
In 2007, she had three releases. After her role in the unsuccessful <i>Vyapari</i>, she starred in the Sekhar Kammula-directed Telugu film <i>Happy Days</i> which received positive reviews and became her first major box office success. Her next release was the Tamil drama film <i>Kalloori</i>, directed by Balaji Sakthivel, that won her accolades and critical acclaim in Tamil as well.<br />

<br />
In 2008, she again had three releases, appearing only in cameo roles in two of them. In 2009, she received box office success with Padikathavan, with Dhanush. Her next Tamil film <i>Ayan</i> became a blockbuster and made her a leading star in the Tamil film industry. Her next film was Aananda Thaandavam, which sank without a trace. But her performance was praised by critics. Her successive release <i>Kandein Kadhalai</i>, which was a remake of the 2007 Hindi blockbuster <i>Jab We Met</i>, was considered a moderate success. She did the role originally played by Kareena Kapoor and was praised by critics for her performance. Her first 2010 release was Lingusamy's romantic-action flick <i>Paiyaa</i>, a huge hit. It earned her a great name in the Tamil film industry. Her next release was Sura, with Vijay. The film was not a box office hit and her performance was panned by critics. Her next release was <i>Thillalangadi</i> with Jayam Ravi, which became an average grosser and her performance was praised.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamannaah_Bhatia#cite_note-4"><span></span><span></span></a></sup><br />
Her first release of 2011 was the Tamil action film, <i>Siruthai</i> alongside Karthi with the film becoming a success commercially, although her character was received poorly by critics with a reviewer citing that she offered "little more than arm-candy".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-5"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamannaah_Bhatia#cite_note-5"><span></span><span></span></a></sup> Her first Telugu release after two years, the romantic comedy <i>100% Love</i> with Naga Chaitanya is opened to highly positive reviews from both critics and viewers. Her next release opposite Allu Arjun, the historical <i>Badhrinaadh</i>, has opened to mixed reviews though her role was praised. Her upcoming films portray her in lead roles opposite Ram Charan Teja in <i>Rachcha</i>, Ram in <i>Mana Love Story</i>,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamannaah_Bhatia#cite_note-6"><span></span></a></sup>and Jr. NTR in <i>Ooservelli</i>,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamannaah_Bhatia#cite_note-7"><span></span></a></sup> whilst she will also feature in Hari's Tamil action film, <i>Venghai</i> with Dhanush.<br />
She also has experience as a model appearing in various TV commercials.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-8"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamannaah_Bhatia#cite_note-8"><span></span><span></span></a></sup> She is endorsing popular brands like Celcom Mobiles and Chandrika Ayurvedic Soap..<br />

</a></div><h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Career">Career</span></h2>Kajal made her acting debut in the 2004 Hindi film she is a romantic actress and sexy also. She had her first kiss in Arya 2 <i>Kyun...! Ho Gaya Na</i>, in which she enacted a minor supporting role as the friend of Diya, the film’s lead, played by Aishwarya Rai.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajal_Aggarwal#cite_note-3"></a></sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajal_Aggarwal#cite_note-4"></a></sup> She then signed in veteran Tamil director Bharathiraja's <i>Bommalattam</i>. The film, however, got delayed and released in late 2008.<br />
In 2007, she made her debut in the Telugu film industry and played her first leading role in Teja's <i>Lakshmi Kalyanam</i> alongside Kalyan Ram, which did not fare well at the box office. Later that year, she appeared in the Krishna Vamsi-directed film <i>Chandamama</i>, which opened to positive reviews and became her first major successful film.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-5"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajal_Aggarwal#cite_note-5"></a></sup><br />
In 2008, she had her first Tamil film release, Perarasu's action entertainer <i>Pazhani</i>, co-starringBharath. Following this film, she had two more Tamil releases that year with Venkat Prabhu’s comedy-thriller Saroja, in which she did a guest appearance, and Bharathiraja’s investigative thriller <i>Bommalattam</i>. Although the former went on to become a commercial as well as a critical success, both films failed to boost her career as her roles were too insignificant.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajal_Aggarwal#cite_note-6"></a></sup> Both her Telugu releases, <i>Pourudu</i> and <i>Aatadista</i> opposite Sumanth and Nitin, respectively, neither received positive reviews nor were successul at the box office.<br />
In 2009, she had four releases, she first starred in another Tamil film <i>Modhi Vilayadu</i>, which garnered mixed reviews and was a financial failure, following which she appeared in the high-budget Telugu historical drama <i>Magadheera</i>, which saw her essaying double roles for the first time. The film, directed by S. S. Rajamouli, received universal critical acclaim, while Kajal, particularly, was praised for her portrayal of a princess in the film. Rediff wrote that she "was quite a surprise package, [...] sweet and charming and looked like an 'ethereal' princess. She carries off both the roles fairly well",<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajal_Aggarwal#cite_note-7"></a></sup> while NDTV cited that "Kajal Agarwal is also an asset to the film. She is very apt for the character of the princess. Besides filling the glamour slot, she has proven that given a chance, she too can give an excellent performance".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-8"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajal_Aggarwal#cite_note-8"></a></sup> The film was also highly commercially successful and broke several records,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-9"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajal_Aggarwal#cite_note-9"></a></sup> emerging as the highest-grossing Telugu film of all time.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-10"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajal_Aggarwal#cite_note-10"></a></sup>Following Magadheera’s phenomenal success, Kajal became one of the most sought-after actresses in the Telugu film industry, catapulting her into the main foray of lead Telugu actresses.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-13"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajal_Aggarwal#cite_note-13"></a></sup> Her subsequent releases <i>Ganesh Just Ganesh</i> and <i>Arya 2</i> received mixed reviews from critics, while her performance garnered positive feedback.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-15"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajal_Aggarwal#cite_note-15"></a></sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-16"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajal_Aggarwal#cite_note-16"></a></sup><br />
In 2010, Kajal starred in A. Karunakaran's <i>Darling</i> alongside Prabhas received favorable reviews from both critics and the audience and became a commercial success at the box office.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-17"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajal_Aggarwal#cite_note-17"></a></sup> In August, she appeared in Tamil thriller film <i>Naan Mohaan Alla</i> opposite Karthi. The film is based on a real life incident, opened to unanimously positive reviews.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-18"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajal_Aggarwal#cite_note-18"></a></sup> The movie performed well at the box office and was declared a blockbuster. Kajal's final release in 2010 was <i>Brindavanam</i> opposite NTR Jr. and Samantha. The film was critically acclaimed and performed well at the box office.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-19"></sup><br />
In 2011, she was paired with Prabhas for the second time in <i>Mr. Perfect</i>, directed by Dasaradh. The film opened to positive reviews, while Kajal won appraisal by critics with Times Of India writing, "What is applause-worthy in the movie is Kajal Agarwal's performance. She looks great, expresses well and fits into the role perfectly". In May, she appeared in Veera opposite Ravi Teja received negative reviews.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-21"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajal_Aggarwal#cite_note-21"></a></sup> She is also making her debut in Kannada in Raju Hasan's <i>Thathasthu</i> opposite Chirag.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-22"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajal_Aggarwal#cite_note-22"></a></sup> She is playing female lead role opposite Surya in Maatraan<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Kajal_Agarwal_Confirmed_in_Surya.27s_Maatraan_23-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajal_Aggarwal#cite_note-Kajal_Agarwal_Confirmed_in_Surya.27s_Maatraan-23"></a></sup><br />

But the crew insisted and kept contacting her for two months, and she agreed when she saw the Telugu version of the movie.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-r5_15-2"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza#cite_note-r5-15"></a></sup> Tamil director, S. Shankar, was impressed with her performance in the Parker Pen commercial and decided to cast her in a leading role in his 2003 Tamil film <i>Boys</i>. D'Souza was selected among 300 girls, who had auditioned for the movie. She signed three movies simultaneously in three different languages, <i>Tujhe Meri Kasam</i> (Hindi), <i>Boys</i> (Tamil), and <i>Satyam</i> (Telugu).<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-buzz_5-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza#cite_note-buzz-5"></a></sup><br />
D'Souza's professional movie career began. with her Bollywood debut <i>Tujhe Meri Kasam</i> in 2003.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-bus_7-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza#cite_note-bus-7"></a></sup> Indian film critic Taran Adarsh noted, "Genelia is a wonderful performer. She catches you unaware with a performance that's natural to the core." The movie garnered poor box office returns,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-fail2_21-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza#cite_note-fail2-21"></a></sup> and it failed to propel her career in Bollywood. Following her poor debut in Bollywood, she decided to act in South Indian films.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-deb_3-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza#cite_note-deb-3"></a></sup> Later the same year, she made her Tamil debut as the teenage girl Harini in <i>Boys</i>, a story about five teenagers having stereotypical teen-boy fantasies. The movie, though noted for its vulgar sexual content, was a box-office success,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-23"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza#cite_note-23"></a></sup> and subsequently she started receiving Telugu film offers. She left Tamil cinema for a while to concentrate on the Telugu film industry. She made her Telugu debut in 2003 as a medical student in <i>Satyam</i>.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-sam_24-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza#cite_note-sam-24"></a></sup> Sify noted in their review that, "Genelia is excellent as her body language is her major asset."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-25"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza#cite_note-25"></a></sup> The movie was well received,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-26"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza#cite_note-26"></a></sup> and it raised her profile in the Telugu film industry.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-gt_18-2"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza#cite_note-gt-18"></a></sup><br />
In 2004, D'Souza appeared in her second Bollywood movie, <i>Masti</i>. The comedy focuses on three close friends who reunite after three years, but are now married and are being harassed by their wives. D'Souza portrayed the character of one of the wives.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-bbm_27-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza#cite_note-bbm-27"></a></sup> Taran Adarsh was complimentary of D'Souza's role, saying, "Amongst the wives, Genelia is the best, [...] Genelia looks the stern and demanding wife and is sure to be noticed."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-28"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza#cite_note-28"></a></sup> The film fared well at the UK box office. The same year, she appeared in two Telugu movies <i>Samba</i>,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-29"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza#cite_note-29"></a></sup> and <i>Sye</i>,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-30"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza#cite_note-30"></a></sup> both succeeding at the box-office.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-31"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza#cite_note-31"></a></sup><br />
After appearing in her first Telugu movie in 2005, <i>Naa Alludu</i>, she starred in the Tamil romantic entertainer <i>Sachein</i>.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-32"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza#cite_note-32"></a></sup> A review in <i>The Hindu</i> noted, "Genelia, who hardly made an impression in <i>Boys</i>, makes much impact in <i>Sachein</i>." The movie evoked mixed response from audiences, but was well received with the younger generation.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-34"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genelia_D%27Souza#cite_note-34"></a></sup> She later appeared in the Telugu patriotic movie <i>Subhash Chandra Bose</i><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7e0g4dZ3_RY/Tfi-sP7LgCI/AAAAAAAAAHk/uqQYbB7OdI8/s1600/Genelia_D%2527Souza.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

After her first appearance in the 1999 Tamil film <i>Jodi</i>, in a supporting role, she won a Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut for her first lead role in the 2002 film <i>Mounam Pesiyadhe</i>. She later rose to fame starring in the successful films, <i>Saamy</i> (2003) and <i>Ghilli</i> (2004) in Tamil cinema and <i>Varsham</i> (2004) in Telugu cinema, for which she secured her first South Filmfare Best Actress Award. She made her Bollywood debut in the 2010 film <i>Khatta Meetha</i> opposite Akshay Kumar.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AsIm8N6jqPA/Tfde7vnR52I/AAAAAAAAAEI/h5AMtt_fClQ/s1600/trisha88.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AsIm8N6jqPA/Tfde7vnR52I/AAAAAAAAAEI/h5AMtt_fClQ/s640/trisha88.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><h2 style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span class="mw-headline" id="Controversies">Controversies</span></b></span></h2>Trisha was the subject of a controversy in 2004 when a two and a half minute video clip allegedly of her taking a shower in the nude circulated over the Internet. She, however, denied her appearance in the clip, saying, "It was not me in the 2½ minute bathing video clip and someone who wants to malign my name has done this on purpose." In fact, the clip, which purports to have been shot from a hidden camera, makes it clear the subject, who often makes eye contact with the camera and engages in exaggerated pelvic gestures, knew she was being filmed. This makes it unlikely to be Trisha. In any case, she later filed a complaint with the Chennai Police Commissioner.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-55"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisha_Krishnan#cite_note-55"></a></sup> Subsequently, the Editor of the Tamil weekly <i>Netrikkan</i> was arrested by Chennai Police for publishing the nude photographs of her in the weekly. In 2010, she was involved in a drug scandal controversy in Hyderabad, when a report on a Telugu channel claimed that Trisha's name was included with other top celebrities in the list of clients of Chima Clement, a Nigerian drug peddler, arrested in Hyderabad. Her name featured in the list because the channel assumed fashion designer Sidney Sladen, a close friend of Trisha of African origin, to be the Nigerian drug peddler. She declared the scandal as an attempt to malign her name in the Telugu film industry. She also sued the channel for dragging her name into the scandal<br />
