Much has been said and written about HB and HB2; I wanted to do a little bit of reading about Rajshri, Jyoti Dogra and Elahe.
Jyoti Dogra – a product of prestigious NSD, has worked with Anurag Kashyap in Gulal. She tells in an interview to Hindu, how difficult it is to get good roles in Indian mainstream cinema for women, and how apprehensive she was about HB2. She was always told that she was supposed to fill in the big shoes of Rajshri Nair. More of her interview here:

Rajshri Nair - hardly there is any information about her on the net, she was definitely not available for HB2, as she had moved to US and had visa issues. She apparently has done few more regional films, but I could not find much about her on the net yet.
Elahe Hiptoola – She and Nagesh make a great pair and have done a lot of movies together. She appears in both HB and HB2. Independent and thinking woman, she has found her passion re-ignited with cinema.
