Who says you need to be doing films to stay in the limelight. Some of our favourite actresses may have taken a sabbatical from acting but continue to be their sexy, spunky selves and have become extremely popular because of the brands they endorse or the friends they support. And we love them off screen as much as we did on screen.
Preity Zinta She may have been away from films but Preity Zinta is one busy woman. Always a sporty one, Preity has dedicated herself entirely to her IPL team 'Kings XI Punjab'. The stylish and adorable Preity can also be spotted in ads for 'Morellato, 'Emami Cooking Oil' and 'Vatika'. We Dig: How Preity mixes colours and prints and the way she experiments with her hair.
Juhi Chawla We adore Juhi Chawla as she still makes us smile after so many years of being in the industry. She hasn't lost her comic timing as is evident in the ads for 'Kurkure'. She has also been associated with 'Dena Bank', 'Aquasure' and 'Roohafza'. We Dig: How cheery Juhi's face is and how great she looks in pastel colours.
Although we'd love to see these divas in films again, we love that they are keep themselves busy with various other projects. We wish them luck for their future ventures.
Sonali Bendre The gorgeous Sonali Bendre is currently judging 'India's Got Talent' and endorses luxury brand 'Omega' besides 'Surya' and 'Pril'. Always well tuned out and beautiful, Sonali never fails to impress. We Dig: How Sonali always has flawless make-up and her panache for earthy coloured garments.
Urmila Matondkar She revived fashion in films and has been a muse for ace designer Manish Malhotra ever since. Also one to support the designer, Urmila has strutted the ramp for him and other fashion brands such as 'Vero Moda' recently. We Dig: How Urmila maintains her spunky style and her trendy hair and how well she styles her petite figure.
Twinkle Khanna She's our favourite diva and we love her sense of fashion. Flawlessly stylish, Twinkle now has her own interior decoration business and store called 'The White Window'. She also endorses the sleek 'Micromax Bling' cell-phone. We Dig: How Twinkle is always spot on with trends and has an enviable collection of clothes, shoes, bags, jewels...sigh.
