Model Diana Penty New Face in Bollywood

Maybelline has chosen Indian model Diana Penty as new face. With this, she joins the ranks of international supermodels like Adriana Lima and Christy Turlington. “I feel great to get this opportunity to endorse a brand that is so vibrant and truly multi-ethnic. For me it is not only about whom I am replacing but it’s about being on the same platform as international models and get international exposure,” Penty said in a statement.

Penty is a student of the Elite Model Management and its CEO Sushma Puri was all praise for the young model. “Diana has a face that is very versatile and appeals to both Indian and international markets and she is also young, beautiful and confident. This makes her the ideal choice for any international brand,” Puri said.

Deepika Padukone was named the brand ambassador of Maybelline in June 2007.

Diana is delighted on another good news as well. Director Imtiaz Ali has signed up Diana Penty for the next project and she will be romancing Ranbir Kappor in it.

The film has been in the news ever since Imtiaz approached Katrina Kaif for the female lead role and she refused. Imtiaz then almost signed Anushka Sharma, but then decided a new face would work better. The fact that Diana had starred in an advertisement with Ranbir worked in her favor. Imtiaz was searching for a suitable actress for the new project- new face or old. For some time he even toyed with the idea of roping in one-film-old Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif for the film, but later dropped the idea.

Finally, we hear that the director of hit romantic films like Jab We Met and Love Aaj Kal has finalized model Diana Penty for the film.

Diana is a popular model in Mumbai and has also worked with Ranbir in a Virgin Mobile commercial. ‘Rockstar’ will be a love story set in musical background. According to a source, Imtiaz was looking out for a girl with a mod, grungy look and Diana fitted the bill.
