As the stunning babe turns a year older today, we wish her many many happy returns of the day Born on April 15, 1972, the gorgeous Mandira Bedi is seen on the small screen after a long time anchoring Indian Idol Junior along with Karan Wahi. Mandira who first started her career with the TV series Shanti in 1994, entrenched herself in the entertainment industry with her street smart hosting skills and her infectious persona.

The articulate babe that she is, Mandira ended up bagging a couple of meaty projects like the ICC World Cup and the Indian Premier League 3. Bedi was also seen hanging from the harness and doing stunts with creepy crawlies in the first season of Fear Factor India. We still remember how she got along famously with the host of the show Akshay Kumar, since the two shared the same passion for fitness.

The fiery Bedi first got noticed on the big screen in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge – playing the coy and demure chick opposite Shahrukh Khan – however ironic that may sound. Mandira sure has made a name for herself over the years and we wish her luck for her future endeavour…happy birthday!
