Bollywood actress Ayesha Takia was born on April 10, 1986, in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
Ayesha has a pretty diverse background. Her father is Gujarati and her mother is Anglo-Indian (half British Christian and half Indian Muslim).

As far as I can tell, Sonam Kapoor isn't related to Kareena Kapoor.
I could be wrong though.
She was born on June 9, 1985 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
(Just how many Bollywood actresses were born in Mumbai anyway?)
Sonam's film debut was in the 2007 film Saawariya with Rani Mukerji. Not only was Saawariya the first Bollywood movie to receive a North American release by a Hollywood studio, it was also one of the first Bollywood films to be released on Blu Ray.
She has only released one film since then, 2009's Delhi-6, but she will be appearing in the upcoming Bollywood films Aisha and I Hate Luv Storys scheduled for release in 2010.

Sushmita Sen, the first Indian woman to be crowned Miss Universe was born on November 19, 1975 in Hyderabad, India.
Yes, she's the woman that beat Aishwarya Rai at the Femina Miss India pageant in 1994.
When her reign as Miss Universe was over, Sushmita moved into films.
Her film debut was in 1996's Dastak.
She has followed that up by appearing in over thirty movies.
In 2010 she will be appearing in the comedy film, No Problem along with Kangana Ranaut.

Bollywood actress Celina Jaitley is another woman that was crowned Femina Miss India (in 2001).

Her father is a retired Indian Army colonel and her mother was also a beauty queen Afghanistan.

She has gone on to appear in 18 films and she may be on the verge of some real international fame.
Celina is rumored to be appearing in the upcoming film, Quest of Scheherazade with Sean Connery and Orlando Bloom.
But as of right now, that is just a rumor.
