Mallya's mixed up Bharat mochan
This calendar is all about showing that India has arrived. It's not just the models who've been exposed but our country, too, said the king of good times.
Now, consider the babes he chose - Half Ugandan - half Indian Mimi Blix, half Czech half Pakistani Nargis Fakhri, half Dutch Tamara Moss, Thai Sunisa Jongsawat and Russian Katya Melnikova. The venue of the sexy photo-shoot: Six Senses Hideaway Resorts in Thailand. The only desi girls are Monikangana Dutta, Shruti Agrawal and Sheetal Menon. Erm... all about India, did you say?
'There were scandals all the time!'
Calendar girl Tamara Moss shared a li'l on-site secret with us: "There were scandals happening all the while... we'd be like, I'm topless, don't click now, but well, it just wouldn't stop!"
Priya Chatwal wants to turn mermaid
This Sachdev sister would love to shed her stuff for the shoot someday, and guess what she'd love to pose as? "A mermaid... wow... that'd be nice," she picturises. Fishtailed fantasy, anyone?
I swam with Mallya, says Nafisa
No, the two haven't been holidaying down under. When we asked the former model if she'd have been game for the coveted swimsuit shoot had it happened in her golden days, she said, "I don't need to think swimsuits. I grew up with Vijay (Mallya) and even did some swimming with him. He's a li'l boy at heart, you know, a cuddly human being." Once a friend, always a fan, eh?
