Women aren't funny, "Minissha Lamba"

Minissha Lamba has said that male actors are better at comedy than female stars.

The actress will next appear in romantic comedy Bheja Fry 2, in which she plays a reality television show producer who takes an awkward would-be singer under her wing.

Lamba told Mid Day: "It is rightfully so [that there are more comedy roles for men] as men can perform a variety of jokes that don't look nice on women.

"Like obvious sexual nature or double meaning jokes, it does not look nice when women are cracking it."

Lamba will soon start production on Joker, which co-stars Sheyras Tapade.

Minissha Lamba 'attacks writer Shobha De'

Minissha Lamba has accused Indian novelist Shobha De of "slander" after the actress was detained at Mumbai customs.

Lamba made the comments after De had earlier criticised her following an investigation into unpaid customs duty on jewellery.

After De had posted: "Warning to other Bollywood wannabes to leave those borrowed rocks at home. Dazzle wt yr talent (sic)", the Well Done Abba star responded: "Ms Shobha De, real writers write books. Slandering on Twitter is a job of d less gifted. 'Dazzle with your talent' Ms. De. Not ur slander. (sic)"

Lamba had been returning from her red carpet appearance at Cannes when she was held by customs officers in Mumbai for not declaring the value of the gold and diamonds she had worn at the event.

"I think I got into the controversy by default," she said. "It's one of those life experiences. Even in future I will find myself in unpleasant situations. What I make of them is in my hands entirely."

Lamba had earlier said that she was eating one meal day in preparation for the red carpet event.

Shoba De was involved in a war of words with Sonam Kapoor on Twitter last year, after she had criticised Kapoor's film I Hate Luv Storys.

Undeclared jewellery not mine: Minissha

Bollywood actress Minissha Lamba, detained at the airport here on arrival from France for not declaring jewellery estimated to be worth over Rs 31 lakh, has claimed the ornaments were for promotional purpose and do not belong to her.

The 26-year-old, who was let off after a second round of questioning today, which followed a 16-hour-long grilling which took place on her arrival from Cannes, said that the episode was a "minor procedural lapse" being blown out of proportion.

The actress was questioned again for nearly three and half hours today, during which she admitted she was not aware of the procedure of declaring the jewellery which she claimed had been carried from India for her stint at the international film festival.

"Today she was called to our office at Marol in Andheri. Her statement was recorded under Section 108 of the Customs Act, 1962," said Mahendra Pal, Additional Commissioner (Air Intelligence Unit).

The AIU of the Customs, in a release, valued the assorted jewelery made of gold and studded with diamond and precious and semi-precious stones and other dutiable goods at Rs 31,32,133, clearing the confusion over the value of goods that was pegged at around Rs 35-50 lakh. The entire jewellery was seized.

"The passenger (Lamba) has accepted non declaration (of goods) and also said the jewellery was taken out from India while she went to attend the Cannes Film Festival on May 11. Further investigation is in progress," Pal added.

Minissha removes breast implants

Seems like Minissha Lamba is following Rakhi Sawant’s footsteps, in reversing the damage of plastic surgery. The actress has finally realized that what God has given is good enough for the future. Apparently, Minissha has got her breast implants removed.

The actress, who became infamous for the irregular number of surgeries she underwent, has finally decided to go back to her natural form.

A source close to Minnissha revealed to Mumbai Mirror, "Recently, Minissha went under the knife again. God knows what struck her but she got her breast size reduced. Minnissha seems to be wanting her ‘girl-next-door’ image back."

After her praiseworthy performance in Yahaan (2005), Minissha managed to catch a lot of eyeballs in Sanjay Gadhvi’s Kidnap (2008). While Kidnap bombed at the box-office, Lamba’s enhanced assets made much news. Pity that this exercise in becoming bigger did not exactly send her career graph soaring.

Yet despite the conjecture and many photographs that proved Lamba’s tryst with vanity issues (check out what’s on display here to get the picture), she always denied going under the knife. But she was once reported saying, "Yes they (breasts) are real, but a camera trick was added to digitally enhance them."
