 The Queen of Internet downloads and the most downloaded internet babe Sherlyn Chopra bagged her most 'Outrageous' assignment till date - she was selected as the 'Face of Bollywood' to represent the marriage of glamour, oomph and spunk with cutting-edge technology at an annual event - the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona.
Sherlyn Chopra was the only Bollywood actress chosen to represent India at the function. Last year Dia Mirza was the Indian representative at the same event.
Sherlyn gave away the award to the head honcho of Yahoo Inc for the 'Best Infotainment Portal of the Year'.
Film Legend Robert Redford, founder of the Sundance Institute, was one of the attractions at the World Congress.
Speaking to this reporter from Barcelona, Sherlyn said, "I have discussed various projects, which I will share with the media at the opportune time." However, Sherlyn's managers said that she had signed five deals with international groups and bands to "work together". Sherlyn said she will "disclose all" at a Press Conference very soon. Sherlyn had one-on-one meetings with lead rapper of Hip Hop and funk band Black Eyed Peas Will.i.am and Robert Redford of the Sundance Institute.
Besides Sherlyn Chopra and her music album, two other brands or projects were chosen: south icon Rajnikant's film SULTAN - THE WARRIOR and RACE was showcased at the same event.
Sherlyn beat established brands like Bipasha Basu, Priyanka Chopra, etc. to make it to the "A-list". She attended the conference, celebrity cocktail dinners and other sub events in Barcelona recently.
In Barcelona, Sherlyn hob-nobbed with the cellular and digital world's head honchos like our very own Sunil Mittal, Anil Ambani, Azeem Ghosh and Arun Sarin to name a few. Almost every other cellular brand from India had a presence at Barcelona and so did international brands like Verizon (one of the largest operators in the United States), Singapore Tel, Mobi Tel, Telefonica, etc.
 Besides these, every other Media brand worth its name was present at the event as were the CEOs of most Fortune 100 companies.
Not just that, Sherlyn was bestowed with the honour of presenting an award at the grand finale of the event - the Global Mobile
Awards ceremony to honour some of the biggest telecom players - which was held in the palace of the King of Spain.
This event is the biggest international gathering of telecom operators, service providers, mobile content aggregators, handset manufacturers, value added resellers and deals worth millions of dollars are expected to be negotiated and cracked at the venue.
