Bollywood Actress who can't speak Hindi


When Hema Malini and Sridevi came from the South to Bollywood, clueless about the stree-ling and pul-ling of the Hindi language, they worked on their Hindi to become no.1. Katrina Kaif got there without making an effort to master the language. That's a bit like batting for India without knowing how to hold the bat...Or doing an item song without knowing how to wriggle and pout. But Katrina has managed it. She isn't alone. Here's looking at other shuddh-angrezi memsahibs of Bollywood.

Rohit celebrates his historic double century

Rohit, on Thursday, scored a magnificent 264 against Sri Lanka in the 4th ODI to set records. The right-hander had previously hit 209 in Bangalore last year, against Australia. This was his comeback match after being sidelined due to an injury since August.

The 27-year-old smashed records on way to a brilliant 264 (173 balls, 33x4, 9x6). India amassed 404/5 thanks to the opener's history-making knock. Rohit's outstanding innings ended on the final ball when he was caught at long off by Mahela Jayawardene off Nuwan Kulasekara. He was dropped on 4 by Thisara Perera.

So far, there have been 4 double hundreds in ODIs and all belong to India. Sachin Tendulkar was the first and then Virender Sehwag. Now, Rohit has two.

It was a day when Rohit punished all Sri Lankan bowlers. He started off slowly in the company of Ajinkya Rahane but found his rhythm later. He took 72 balls to score his first 50 but accelerated after the half century. He toyed with the bowling attack, smashing the visitors to all parts of the historic Eden Gardens ground, which is celebrating 150 years.

This is how Rohit progressed to each 50

1st 50 off 72 balls

2nd 50 off 28 (100 in 100)

3rd 50 off 25 (150 in 125)

4th 50 off 26 (200 in 151)

5th 50 off 15 (250 in 166)
