This eye ball grabbing pic is a selfie that the Kantri girl posted on the social media.

Hot heroine Rakul Preet Singh doesn’t want to be called a Delhi girl.

Heroines tripping in uncomfortably long and unwieldy gowns in all major film fests is common. But, many heroines carry off their dresses effortlessly. But look at Shruthi Haasan’s Cannes fest look.

But, her looks over the board and appearance left much to be desired. Better luck next time Shruthi!!
