After 'Besharam' Pallavi Sharda turns 'Rajputani'

Dressed in backless gown with a lot of feather motifs engrossed on the outfit, actress Pallavi Sharda perfectly essayed a tribal "Rajputani" for designer Samant Chauhan at the ongoing Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) Spring-Summer 2014.

"Each season, we try to bring a new concept of Rajputana through my collection and the theme this time is tribal. This collection is all about Rajputana's tribes so we took lot of elements from tribes. Feather is one of the key motif for this collection apart from skull and eagle prints," Chauhan told IANS.

The "Besharam" fame actress looked no less than a style diva when she walked the ramp in her seductive style, showcasing the art of wings and patchworks used as motifs on her gown. Her modelling experiences in the past added confidence in her look.

On choosing Pallavi to be the part of the show, the designer says that she was an apt choice to represent his designs.

"She is a very fashion-conscious person and this is reflected in the way she dresses up. Also, she hasn't walk for any other designer so far... one thing is that you always want to associate with somebody who can actually relate with your brand so for me, she was the perfect choice," said Chauhan.

There were whole lot of nude and beige colours used on the garments that varied from long and flowing gowns and dresses.

Sharing his love for subtle colours, Chauhan said: "This is my brand philosophy and it will never change. I doubt if I will ever use bright colours in my collection."

Like many believe that calling Bollywood for fashion shows divert attention from clothes but for this designer who hails from Bihar, it adds to the brand value: "Bollywood does help in business, promotion and to reach to the wider audience. Also the chances of media focusing on your show get higher when a celebrity walks for it."

Next in the line was designer Manish Gupta who brought enduring visualization with his Spring Summer 2014 collection titled "Carved Desires".

"Carved Desires is a collection that has been created deriving great inspiration from baroque and Mughal artworks hence you can see a lot of characterized detailing. The hand cutwork and sheer embroideries in the collection significantly celebrates the Mughal opulence," Gupta told IANS.

The range reflected indelible craftsmanship and textures with baroque and mughal artworks woven into ensemble-like dresses and gowns. The use of sheer hand cutwork and velvet yarns lends opulence and magnificence to the collection.

The colour palette varied from myriad pastel shades emphasising a lot on soft yellows, light greys, soft aqua, peach, sand and lime.

Savitha Reddy to dub for DP in 'Kochadaiyaan'

South Indian dubbing artist Savitha Reddy will dub for Deepika Padukone for Rajinikanth's forthcoming Tamil film "Kochadaiyaan - The Legend".

Director Soundarya Rajnikanth Ashwin says that Reddy was the best choice for the actress' voice.

"Savitha has a very versatile tone to her voice and she is adept in tuning her chords to elicit the desired performance. Whether Deepika's character had to ooze grace and elegance, or dramatic prowess and zest, Savitha is a perfect performer," Ashwin said in a statement.

This is not the first time Reddy is dubbing for a Bollywood actress. She has dubbed for Aishwarya Rai's character in the film "Jeans" and Tamil film "Enthiran". She has also lent her voice to other Hindi film actresses such as Genelia D'Souza.

Southern megastar Rajinikanth performs a dual role with Deepika in the film. The rest of the cast for the film includes Jackie Shroff and R. Sarathkumar.

Alia's business plans?

In spite of barely being a film old, actress Alia Bhatt seems to have found her place in filmdom. Now, the "Student of The Year" actress dreams of having her own accessories and clothes brand one day.

"Having your own brand requires a lot of guts. I would love to do it someday...launch my own accessories or clothes brand," she Alia IANS in a telephonic interview from Mumbai.

She said that her own brand value has to be that accessible for her fashion label to work. "I will work on it every time I get an opportunity," she added.

Bright colours being in vogue during winter, Alia says that these shades have entered every sphere of fashion, not just clothes.

"Right now the play of colours is in. It is happening everywhere, clothes and even umbrellas. The easiest way to play with colours is on your nails," said Alia, who recently launched a new range of nail paints, Color Show, by Maybelline.

"Being a youngster basically means don't limit yourself to a particular colour or range. Just go all out," she added.

Fashion also means glowing skin. Spending time in front of the camera and applying heavy make-ups do take a toll on actors' skin. 

"We use a lot of make-up and products, which does tire the skin. On a non-shooting day, I don't wear any base or make-up," she said.

"Also, I just wash my face thrice a day. And do the usual things... I love drinking a lot of water, which always helps. Then I eat vitamins for my skin, hair and nails," added the actress whose upcoming films are "Highway" and "2 States".

A police source said that Aamir Khan and director of the movie Rajkumar Hirani have been named in the FIR

Actress Sunny Leone underwent due training before starting action film "Tina and Lolo", and she has not used a body double for any of her stunt scenes, says the movie's director

Surprises ahead in the upcoming season of 'Nach Baliye'

While no Bollywood films are without the usual song and dance routine, the upcoming season of Nach Baliye has only a few names from B-town who will be competing to take home the top laurels

Insiders say if all goes well, Bollywood will be represented by the likes of Mallika Sherawat, Rajeev Khandelwal and Chunkey Pandey.

A member from the show's crew says, `We are in talks with quite a few known faces, as our criteria is not to just have star couples on the show.` Among the actors who have been approached are Khandelwal, Jennifer Winget and Karan Singh Grover, Vivian D'sena and Vahbbiz Dorabjee, Anoop Soni and Juhi Babbar.

Miss Universe Olivia Culpo in trouble, will Sallu come for her rescue?

Police to launch investigation against Olivia Culpo for taking part in a 'disrespectful' photo shoot for high heels on the grounds of the historical site.

Miss Universe Olivia Frances Culpo, on her maiden visit to India, and others accompanying her who did a shoot for a footwear brand at the Taj Mahal have landed themselves in trouble. A case has been registered against them on an Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) complaint. 

Munazzar Ali, the Taj Mahal's caretaker said, `We have, this evening, officially lodged a complaint against the group with Miss Universe, along with photos as proof. The sandals from a bag she carried were taken and placed on the Diana Seat for shooting pictures, which is not permitted by the ASI. It also amounts to disrespect and insult.`

A marble bench at the central pond is named after Princess Diana who visited the Taj in 1992.

A police officer of Tourism Thana confirming the incident, said, `A case has been registered under the Ancient Monuments and Sites Act against Miss Universe, Sanjana Jon and others of the group.`

The police were under pressure to ignore the violation, but media pressure and objections by the tourism industry forced the ASI to officially complain to the police and get a case registered.

The 21-year old Miss Universe, with her group, visited the World Heritage monument on Sunday.

`It was not immediately clear whether her posing for photographs with a new pair of sandals was a calculated plan for commercial gain, or was the decision taken at the spur of the moment. The police, the CISF and the ASI indulged in a blame game and avoided taking a decision one way or the other,` a tourist guide said.

Ali added: `I was not present that day.`

Culpo was escorted by UP Police personnel. The CISF, supposed to look after security and frisking at the entrance gates, 'were too impressed and allowed her to carry her bag inside'.

`These CISF fellows often overreact when people come even with Ram-naam dupattas or wear a scarf or the Tricolour. So many people have had tiffs with them,` recalled Abhinav Jain, a handicrafts exporter at the eastern gate of the Taj.

He added: `It's the fault of the CISF. How did they permit Miss Universe to use the Taj Mahal backdrop to promote a product? This is not permitted.`

Culpo was in India to promote some charity and social concern issues.

Police attributed the delay in registering the case to 'investigations being made and footage study'.

"These CISF fellows often over-react when people come even with Ram-naam dupattas or wear scarf or the tri-colour. So many people have had tiffs with them," recalled Abhinav Jain, a handicrafts exporter at the eastern gate of the Taj.



He added: "It's the fault of the CISF. How did they permit Miss Universe to use the Taj Mahal backdrop to promote a product? This is not permitted."

Culpo was in India to promote some charity and social concern issues. "But how this sandal business suddenly came up needs investigation. Looks like Sanjana Jon persuaded her to pose for the photos," said photographer Vishal.

Police attributed the delay in registering the case to "investigations being made and footage study".

A Supreme Court directive prohibits use of the Taj Mahal for commercial purposes. Nobody is permitted to hold demonstrations or enter with banners within 500 metres of the monument.

Film on martyred Indian prisoner Sarbjit Singh to feature Sonakshi

Sonakshi Sinha will be playing Dalbir Kaur, sister of Sarbjit Singh, the Indian prisoner, killed in Pakistan's Kotlakhpat jail after 22 years of imprisonment. The film on Dalbir's valiant fight to get her brother released is being produced by Mukta Arts. Subhash Ghai has kept the project under the wraps.

Though Sarabjit, a native of Punjab, died this year after an attack by fellow inmates, his life story and his sister's long struggle to bring him back home, captivated the nation. Buzz is, Ghai has already taken the required permission from Sarabjit Singh's family and Dalbir has given her nod of approval. 

A source said that the film which would recreate Dalbir's efforts to free her brother from prison was being written by Rajesh Berry. "It is a sensitive topic. Ghai's team does not want to make any mistakes. Dalbir has given a long version of her battle to free her younger brother and Berry is in touch with her frequently," said the source.

"Sonakshi took her time to say yes but her excitement about the role was clearly visible when she first heard about the role," added the source. 

The film will be directed by ad-filmmaker Ishwar Singh Muchla. The project is likely to go on floors early next year. As of now, Ghai and Ishwar are scouting for the actor who will play Sarabjit Singh.

After dengue, Ranveer falls prey to 'Lovaria'

Bollywood hero Ranveer Singh is recovering from deadly dengue but is caught in another disease which he calls "Lovaria." In an interview the Ram Leela actor says that he keeps on looking at the stunning Deepika Padukone after the shots are shown on the monitor. It has never happened before.

He talks in Hindi, `Humari Deepikaji ko dekh lo, kya physical appearance hai. Jab aati hain screen pe, aur kuch dikhta hi nahi hai. To get attention in the frame, I had to take off my shirt, put in all this energy, change my look, but I used to tell her when we watched the scenes on the monitor that she is so visually stunning that the eye keeps going only to her. I can keep doing whatever hell I want, but when I watch it, I don't look at myself, I only look at her.

I had been falling in lovaria from my kindergarten days but recovered every time, but this time situation seems unrecoverable. When asked to name the dame, Ranveer declined to answer, saying "Mujhe Nazar Bahut Jaldi Lag Jati hai..." But the manner in which he spoke about Deepika being a fine actress, having kind nature and being caring person, leaves no room for doubt.



But at the same time Ranveer reveals that Deepika is a stable personality and has strong immunity to lovaria, she has a sense of detachment.

On marriage, Ranveer says, `I definitely want to get married but before that I want to be financially sound by giving some blockbusters so that I can support the family in a nice way.
