Minissha Lamba who has debutted in a movie Yahaan with Jimmy Shergill was expecetd to do well, but the movie flopped and as it happens with newcomers, her roller coaster ride ground to a halt. She then did smaller roles (Corporate, Heyy Babyy, Dus Kahaniyaan) and was barely noticed till Bachna Ae Haseenon came along. This was her chance for redemption and getting back in the big league.

And as she must have fervently prayed the movie after good reports and great publicity, has opened well and people are alreday declaring it a hit for the beleagured Yashraj camp. Though I did read that her role was the smallest and most ill defined, the importanr thing especially in Bollywood is to get a nice juicy hit under your belt. All due to the superstitious ways of the Industry. If u do not get the first hit, a lot of directors and producers will not touch you with a barge pole. And when you do, you are the next big thing.

Thats why it is important to register that maiden hit that is acknowledged by teh whole Industry. And look slike Bachna Ae Haseenon will do that for her. Minissha Lamba is a very pretty girl, amazingly beautiful eyes and has the sought after peaches and cream complexion thanks to her Northern/Punjabi roots (she was born in Kashmir). And so she will do well in the cute, sweet roles. In fact she is already being called the next Preity Zinta or proped as the one to take over that slot. Best of luck in her new lease of life.
