Birthday Suite: Lara Dutta

Lara Dutta, the Miss Universe of 2000, has so far had a bumpy ride in tinsel town. Despite having been the plum in some of Bollywood's best cakes, and despite having acquired her place on the wish list of many frontline filmmakers, Lara has not really been able to make an impact on the B.O. In 2011, she won over India's tennis ace Mahesh Bhupati, and is now his doubles' partner for life.

Here is a pictorial bouquet to Lara Dutta, who turns 35 today.
