Happy Birthday Hebah Patel: Hot-as-hell photos of the ‘Kumari 21F’ bombshell

The inflow of North-Indian actresses into South cinema has become quite common since the last two decades. However, it’s not a cakewalk for these divas to impress the regional viewers right from the word go. Mumbai-born Hebah Patel is one among the few bombshells who have managed to strike the right chord with Telugu viewers’ courtesy her solid emoting skills, arresting looks, striking figure and mesmerising screen-presence.

After making a decent Tollywood debut opposite Rahul Ravindran in Ala Ela, Hebah Patel created a sensation with her brilliant portrayal as Meena Kumari in the 2015 superhit film Kumari 21F. Following the massive success, she went on a signing spree and played the female lead in a string of Telugu films. Presently busy with Nithiin’s Bheeshma and Raj Tarun’s Orey Bujjiga, the bold actress is celebrating her 31st birthday today (January 6). Check out some of her hot photos.

Before foraying into Telugu cinema in 2014, Hebah Patel featured in a Kannada and Tamil film that did quite well at the ticket counters. Sukumar noticed the actress during a promotional event of ‘Ala Ela’ and called her for an audition. Flattered by the story and her characterisation in Kumari 21F, she immediately signed the dotted line. Helmed on a shoe-string budget, the coming-of-age drama struck the right chord with the urban audience and several critics described Patel as the show-stealer in the film.

Hebah always wanted to get into films and South cinema was her focus. But her parents imposed a condition that she should at least be a graduate. After wrapping up her education, the leggy lass did a ramp show for MTV and worked for a big jewellery commercial as a model. The ad clicked big-time and Hebah was roped in by debutante director Aneesh Krishna for Ala Ela which eventually led to Kumari 21F.

After rousing to fame with Kumari 21 F, Hebah Patel bagged consecutive successes with hit films like Eedo Rakam Aado Rakam and Ekkadiki Pothavu Chinnavada. Since then, nothing worked in favour of the 31-year-old actress with a hattrick of failures in her kitty. In her last release ’24 kisses’, the sexy siren went all out on the glamour front and provided a visual treat to the masses. However, the romantic drama fell flat at the counters.

Besides her solid performances on the silver screen, Hebah Patel is a popular celebrity on social media who doesn’t disappoint her fans when it comes to sharing drool-worthy stuff. Right from an ethnic saree, floral jacket, lehenga to a voluptuous monokini and swimsuit, she certainly knows how to pull off any attire with utmost grace. The blonde beauty is also a hot favourite among designers to walk down the ramp as she always scores high on fashion meters.

Currently busy with a couple of Telugu projects like Bheeshma and Orey Bujjiga, Hebah Patel has apparently signed a web series. Directed by Ajay Bhuyan, the digital project features actors like Navdeep, Bindu Madhavi, Chandini Chowdary, Akshara Gowda and Raja in pivotal roles.
