Oooomph at 40! My Top 5

40s just the beginning and our awesome celebs prove it!

Here's a listing of celebs in 40s by their oomph - iness

Obviously the oomphiest of them all - Rahul Dravid scores a perfect 10 with his clean cut classic features, the glint of steel and sometimes mischief his eyes, his dedication and overall charm. Bharat Ratna or not - Rahul is the best his fans agree. And the sexiest ;) If there was one sports star who could take over Daniel Craig, my vote is on Rahul Dravid.

Dimple, figure, maturity, biceps and bulges at all the right places. John's got it all. And at forty, he looks perfectly naughty!

40 - who cares? At 45, the Diva has made an amazing comeback with Jhalak Dikhla Ja, item songs, plum movie roles. Our own desi Meryl Streep looks ready to rule as a oomph queen for many more years. Finally for a Hindi movie heroine - age is just a number. I hope to see her in many "Salt" like roles in the years to come. Keep fit babe!

Ajay "Singham" Devgan is my oomph at 40 choice. The low profile Veeru Vishal Devgan is one half of a true power couple. The super duper star's laid back style is endearing and downright sexy. But for all his quiet style - he makes a statement in every format from an intense Rajneeti, Once Upon a Time in Mumbai to a riotous Golmaal or Bol Bachan. In between the Sons of Sardar gives blockbusters like Singham. He makes the list only because he doesnt shout about his popularity like some Khans and Khannas. And of course Kajol chose him! At 44, the versatile de Niro of Bollywood looks ready to jet into the orbit.

This Punjabi kudi keeps surprising many with her versatility and resourcefulness. After the immensely popular show "Shanti", she had a disastrous outing in movies. But she made an impact comeback in Cricket commentary of all things - when her spaghetti blouses became more famous than her. She started the trend for short skirts entering the male bastion and not as experts! That was an expert move by channels - for which gender watches cricket more? The largely male audience remained glued between overs thanks to spaghetti blouses! But Mandira has made comebacks after comebacks. She hosted the popular Indian Idol junior, anchors major events and now has a plum role in "24". She has recently launched a sari line. 40 is really the beginning! 

40 is no longer the precursor to old age or even the beginning of middle age. 40s is trendy. Fortiers are the real movers when there is money to spend, health is in bloom, maturity perfect, lessons learnt and life is just really beginning! 

So hail 40!
