All about Ratan's Swayamavar and her ideal man

No controversies, no affairs and not even a distant beau to contribute to her history -- small screen's petite daughter Ratan Rajput is all set to get 'knotty' on Imagine's "Ratan Ka Rishta: Swayamavar - Season 3" and the actress can't wait to come out of character and be the "real me".

"The USP (of my 'Swayamvar') will be that people will get to watch the real me and not any character from any show. I'll be here the way I am in real life. It won't be scripted. Things that happen in 'Swayamvar' will make audiences watch the real me and I am sure my wedding will be a success, " an elated but visibly nervous Ratan told.

It has finally happened! Deol family's youngest daughter Ahana Deol is finally set to make her Bollywood debut. As per the reports, Dharmendra and Hema Malin's youngest daughter Ahana is going to follow the path set by her elder sister Esha Deol. 

Ahana, who is a trained Bharatanatyam dancer, is reportedly reading a script of filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane. Ahana is said to be very close to Motwane and his wife.

Earlier in 2007, there was a report that Ahana will be directing a film but it never happened. She was also offered to act in a film by Dev Anand. Apart from this, she was also approached by other filmmakers to act in their films but Ahana rejected them and everyone considered her to be a shy girl for Bollywood.

Now, after so many years, there are again talks of the lady entering Bollywood and this time, things are going in the right direction from the beginning as she is seriously giving a thought on this. On choosing Ahana, Motwane says that she has an interesting face.
