Kaif began her modeling career at age fourteen; her first assignment was for a jewelry campaign. She continued modeling in London under a contract with the Models 1 Agency and did campaigns for houses such as La Senza and Arcadius, and even walked on the London Fashion Week.

IIFA awards: Cold vibes between Bipasha Basu and Mallika Sherawat

Bollywood hotties,Bipasha Basu and Mallika Sherawatshared cold vibes at a film awards being held abroad. The organisers were clearly embarrassed when Sherawat refused to step on the stage after calling out her name thrice. She was seated in the front row. Apparently, Sherawat was upset that Basu was walking away with all the attention.

According to the event schedule, all the actors were supposed to join emcee, actor Boman Irani on stage when their names were called out one by one. Bipasha was the first to be called on stage as she was the biggest star in attendance. She was supposed to be joined on stage by actor Anil Kapoor, filmmakers Subhash Ghai, Satish Kaushik. The last on the list was actress Sherawat.

When Boman announced Sherawat ’s name, she just smiled back, but kept sitting. The actor, sensing something was wrong, repeated the announcement twice with a smile and his trademark humour, but Sherawat did not budge. It’s only when Sabbas Joseph, the head of the event management company organising the event, requested (almost pleading) that Sherawat walked gingerly towards the stage and stood at an extreme end of the stage.

Though Basu called out to join her as she posed for the shutterbugs, Sherawat refused politely. The actresses apparently shared cold vibes even off the stage.
