New mom Lara Dutta sizzles in an LBD!

By Hindustan Times

Actor Lara Dutta Bhupathi, who was recently within the Capital to receive the Younger women Achiever Awards 2012, stunned all by turning up in a sublime little black dress (LBD).

The 34-year-old, who turned mommy in January this year and perceived to have lost kilos in exactly two months post pregnancy, said it's her hubby, tennis ace Mahesh Bhupathi, who has given her the boldness to make public appearances in the sort of short period, after motherhood.

"I give the entire credit to my husband for giving me the boldness to stroll out in public just two months after delivering my daughter Saira," said the actor, adding that it was Mahesh, who like a doting husband came to drop her on the award ceremony too. "He (Mahesh) came to drop me but he sneaked away to play tennis once he saw such a lot of pretty ladies," she said.

The actor, who was honoured for her contribution to cinema, was also quite interested by getting the award. "The last one and a half year have been essentially the most exciting phase of my life - both personally and professionally. From getting married last February, to turning producer with

Chalo Dilli and of course, becoming mother - the phase was great. Looking forward, I promise that I CAN continue to do good work and convey great films," said the actor.
