Can You Believe Deepika Padukone Beat Queen Bey To A Fashion Punch!

After seeing Oprah Winfrey on the cover of ELLE India, we didn’t think our day could get any better. But we’re glad to inform that it did when we got to know that Beyoncé AKA Queen Bey, just wore the dress Deepika Padukone had already worn before on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet.

To make the grand appearance at the 2018 Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 in South Africa, celebrity stylist Zerina Akers chose this billowy, bright pink gown from Ashi Studio couture. The protruding shoulders, the deep V-neckline and the magnanimous train were made to make a statement.

?utm_source=ig_embed

The only difference we could see in these custom-made gowns were the sleeves. Queen Bey’s gown had trumpet sleeves whereas Deepika’s gown was sleeveless. Even the way the gown was styled was very different. Celebrity stylist Shaleena Nathani chose to accessorise it with pointed-toe pink stilettos and drop earrings while Zerina styled it with sparkly silver heels and hoops.

We can’t believe this coincidence that two of our favourite global icons wore the same gown this year! Now, how cool is this?

We can’t seem to pick our favourite! Can you?

Shibani Dandekar on being linked with Farhan Akhtar: You have to deal with the constant spotlight to the best of your abilities

Shibani Dandekar is making headlines for her rumored relationship with actor Farhan Akhtar, but the actress-singer doesn't fret about it.

Asked how does the public scrutiny impact her personal life, Shibani told IANS: "I think it depends upon the individual and how you take it. There are some people that get really affected by it, there are some people that don't really care much.

"I think, when you are working in a public space, there needs to be a certain level of understanding that you need to have -- that your life is out there for the world to see. So, you have got to deal with it, to the best of your abilities. It's not always going to be easy," she added.

Apart from music, Shibani has also made a place for herself as an actor after doing projects like "Naam Shabana", "Noor" and "Bhavesh Joshi Superhero" How do you plan to take your career in Bollywood further?

"Not really, in terms of Bollywood, not much. But there is a lot happening on TV."

On the professional front, Shibani also associated with Tourism Australia.

"I collaborated with Tourism Australia and ESPN Cric Info for the India vs Australia cricket series in Australia. With this association, I got an opportunity to travel and explore five cities in Australia - Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.

"During my visit to each of these cities, I was accompanied by one Australian cricketer who took me around the city. I was brought up in Australia during my teenage years, but this trip helped me discover all the undiscovered locations in Australia."

She says she is not a "big fan of doing touristy things".

"But I may be up for it, occasionally. I would rather cast my vote for relaxing, mixed in with a little bit of adventure."

‘ज़ीरो’ में अपने किरदार को समझने के लिए ये किया अनुष्का शर्मा ने

Anushka-Sharma-Source-Youtube.jpg

इस बात से तो कोई इंकार नहीं कर सकता के अनुष्का शर्मा अभी के समय की सबसे प्रतिभाशाली अभिनेत्रियों में से एक है। और इस बात का सबूत है उनकी उनकी एक्टिंग। अनुष्का अपने किरदार को न सिर्फ समझती है, बल्कि उसको जीती हैं, उसमे डूब जाती हैं। ऐसा ही इस बार भी हुआ जब फिल्म जीरो में, आफिया की भूमिका के लिए, अभिनेत्री ने 3 महीने तक अपने किरदार को जिया और किरदार को गेहराई से समझने के लिए प्रोफेशनल ट्रेनिंग ली।

आफिया फिल्म एक वैज्ञानिक है, जिसे सेरिब्रल पाल्सी है। अपना पहला शॉट देने से पहले निर्देशक आनंद राय और अनुष्का ने 3 महीने तक एक साथ काम किया ताकि वो किरदार में जान डाल पाए। और अब ऐसा लगता है कि आनंद इस बात से बहुत खुश हैं कि अनुष्का ने आफिया के किरदार को ज़िन्दगी देदी।

अनुष्का ने आफिया की मानसिकता में आने के लिए व्हीलचेयर पर लंबे समय तक समय बिताया।

उन्होंने कहा-

“समय के साथ मैंने इसे बेहतर समझना शुरू कर दिया- सेट पर मैं पूरे समय व्हीलचेयर पर रहना और तीन महीने व्यावसायिक चिकित्सक और ऑडियोलॉजिस्ट के साथ काम करना। मैंने सब, उस कैद को समझने के लिए किया, जो तब होती है जब किसी को व्हीलचेयर पर जीवन भर बिताना पड़ता है। मुझे लगता है कि इन सभी चीज़ों ने मुझे चरित्र की स्थिति और दृष्टि को समझने में मदद की कि”।

इस बात ने फिल्म को लेकर मेरे उत्साह को और बढ़ा दिया है। आपका क्या कहना है।

The sisters are often seen in designer wear that is handcrafted and is unique to a particular brand or label. But if there is something that trumps that, it has got to be personalised garments or jewellery. Personalised items are so much more special because they were made keeping you and only you in mind.

Both of Bollywood’s big fat Indian weddings, aka #DeepVeer and #NickYanka showed us how designers like Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Rohit Bal and more took up personalisation in new ways for their respective brides and grooms. But the way Rhea Kapoor’s Anamika Khanna saree was personalised is just what we need in our lives TBVH.

With the words ‘Everything Is AK-OK Rhea Kapoor’ sprawled all over the pallu, and Anamika Khanna‘s classic 3D-like embroidery all over the border in tones of blue, red and gold, made this saree all kinds of amazing. We mean, imagine owning a saree with such cool details! We love it a little too much.

Rhea wore jewels from Amrapali with this saree and a loose green blouse and it’s safe to say that her look was all kinds of statement-making!

Check out the details on her saree here:

#MeToo: ‘It is great to see how women who suffered for ages are finding their voice,’ says Parched director

Whether it was about focusing on the mental conditioning that creates gender inequality in "Parched" or bringing to notice how technology is creating a generation gap with her latest project "Rajma Chawal", filmmaker Leena Yadav treats all her movies as opinion pieces on topics that matter to a progressive mind.

As many women are finding a voice against patriarchy, Yadav says responsible action is required to continue the change.

Asked about the constant transformation in the society around gender equality, Yadav told IANS here: "Actually, Parched' has come from the place of social conditioning of men and women rather than talking about the gender equality. The way we are conditioned based on our gender is causing the discrimination...you understand that right? Who is the first teacher of a child? It is his/her mother. Some of the biggest gatekeepers of patriarchy are women."

"It is equally difficult for a man to live in the society with a certain mind conditioning when he realizes he is infertile. One of the reasons why the character of Manoj in Parched' is so violent is that he realized that he is infertile.

"Imagine the struggle and frustration they go through because they are taught masculinity in a certain way. Same things happen to women as well... so mind conditioning is the villain to blame," explained Yadav. Yadav considers the changing scenario in the film industry, especially the influx of female filmmakers and technicians, as a positive sign.

Talking about how men are getting sensitized courtesy the #MeToo Movement, she said: "Since shaming the victim is not there anymore, it is great to see how so many women who suffered for ages are finding their voice... It is a changing time. It is positive. But we have to be very responsible in this transformation, otherwise, the whole movement can be derailed."

Her film "Rajma Chawal", an Old Delhi-set drama starring Rishi Kapoor, released on Netflix on November 30.

"My husband (cinematographer Aseem Bajaj) who is also the producer of the film told me that no matter what we do, we practically cannot reach out to 190 countries at one go if a film releases in the theatres. And as filmmakers, our aim is to reach out to the maximum number of people.

"So it is only wise to accept the reality that people prefer to watch films on OTT platforms like Netflix rather than going to the theatres."

The film also features Anirudh Tanwar and Amyra Dastur. As the film is set in Delhi and revolves around the generation gap between two people, the city played an important role in the narration.

"You see, the city itself has its own generation gap between old Delhi and New Delhi. So after hearing the story, when we decided to develop the script, we used the generational gap in a manner that fits the mode of the narration. Very interestingly, Chandni Chowk is a place that embraces people and celebrates inclusiveness.

"Though the place was crowded and I was concerned about the shoot logistically, the locals and my team were so good that we ended up making the film together," she added.

रणवीर सिंह और सारा अली खान की फिल्म ‘सिम्बा’ का ट्रेलर उड़ा देगा सबके होंश

Simmba, Source_ Youtube.com

रणवीर सिंह और सारा अली खान अभिनीत फिल्म, सिम्बा का ट्रेलर आज रिलीज़ हो चूका है। और इस ट्रेलर ने हमारे सुस्त सोमवार को जोशीला बना दिया है। रोहित शेट्टी की फिल्मों का तो मैं पूरे साल इंतज़ार करती हूँ, लेकिन इस फिल्म में कुछ ख़ास है, और वो ख़ास बात है रोहित और रणवीर की जोड़ी, जो इस फिल्म में चार चाँद लगा देने वाली है।

ट्रेलर बहुत ही शानदार है! ट्रेलर की शुरुआत में अजय देवगन, फिल्म के नायक, सिम्बा का परिचय देते हैं। अजय, बाजिराओ सिंघम के किरदार में, यह संकेत देते हैं कि जब वे शिवगढ़ से बुराई को साफ़ कर रहे थे, तब एक युवा लड़का, पुलिस बनने का सपना बुन रहा था। लेकिन कहानी में ट्विस्ट यह है की संग्राम भालेराव, सिंघम के आदर्श और चरित्र से बिलकुल विपरीत है।

जहाँ एक तरफ सिंघम लोगों की भलाई के लिए काम करता है, वहीँ संग्राम भालेराव सिर्फ पैसे कमाने के लिए पुलिस की नौकरी करता है। ट्रेलर में एक डायलॉग भी है जिसमे वह कहता है- मैं पुलिसवाला बना पैसा कमाने को… रॉबिन हुड बनके दूसरों का मदद करने के लिए नहीं। उन्हें शुरुआत में एक मतलबी पोलिसवाले के रूप में दिखाया गया है, लेकिन वो तब एक ज़िम्मेदार व्यक्ति में बदल जाता है, जब एक लड़की, जिसको वो अपनी बहन मानता है, उसका रेप और मर्डर हो जाता है।

यहाँ देखें ट्रेलर-

ट्रेलर में, रणवीर सिंह और सारा अली खान के रोमांस की भी झलक है।
रोहित शेट्टी द्वारा डायरेक्ट की गयी ये फिल्म, 28 दिसंबर को बड़े पर्दे पर जलवा बिखेरेगी। सारा अली खान की ये दूसरी फिल्म होगी, वहीं शादी के बाद ये रणवीर की पहली फिल्म है। सोनू सूद हमेश की तरह माचो विलन की भूमिका में ज़बरदस्त लग रहे हैं। लेकिन जिस किरदार को देखने का मुझे सबसे ज़्यादा इंतज़ार है, वो है आशुतोष राणा। आशुतोष को उनके विलन के किरदार में जाना जाता है, लेकिन इस फिल्म में उनका किरदार थोड़ा अलग है। ट्रेलर लॉन्च में पूछे जाने पर उन्होंने बताया, के उनके इस किरदार से हम सब प्यार कर बैठेंगे।

मुझे तो इस फिल्म के रिलीज़ होने का बेसब्री से इंतज़ार है, और आपको?

#Nickyankawedding: PETA slams Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas for animal cruelty at their Jodhpur ceremony - read tweet

After a section of social media-users cracked down on the use of firecrackers at the wedding celebrations of Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra and American singer Nick Jonas in Jodhpur, animal rights organization PETA has raised a concern about the use of a horse and elephant at their nuptials.

"Dear Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas. Elephants for weddings live in chains and horses are controlled with whips, spiked bits. People are rejecting elephant rides and having horse-free weddings. Congrats, but we regret it was not a happy day for animals," PETA India posted on Twitter on Monday, a day after the two celebrities got married in a traditional Hindu ceremony.

Nick is said to have arrived on a horseback for the wedding. The post by People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) was backed by a video titled "Band, Baaja, Brutality", and showcased what horses go through when they are used at weddings.

According to PETA India CEO Manilal Valliyate, "Priyanka has been ill-served by not being advised of the firestorm that would be caused by participating in animal abuse".

"It doesn't make a person look big or glamorous to promote cruelty to animals who have no choice but to serve. It makes them look small. Overwhelmingly, these days PETA is delighted to see so many celebrities feel passionate about protecting animals," Valliyate said in a statement to IANS.

Before this, the much talked about '#NickYanka' wedding, drew the ire of social media users who pointed out at the use of fireworks, which lit up the Jodhpur sky on the night of December 1 -- the same day the couple exchanged wedding vows in a Christian ceremony officiated by the groom's father.

Netizens pointed at "double standards" as around Diwali this year, Priyanka, who is asthmatic herself, had urged people to follow the 'Less pollution, more laddoos' policy for the festival of fights.

Priyanka and Nick had a three-day wedding extravaganza, complete with a colorful Mehendi gala, a friendly cricket match, a sangeet function and two weddings following each of their customs, at Jodhpur's Umaid Bhawan Palace. The celebrations were attended by close family and friends.

They have scheduled a reception in New Delhi on Tuesday evening.

Exclusive! This SIGNATURE dialogue of Ajay Devgn's Singham will be a part of Ranveer Singh's Simmba

The trailer of Ranveer Singh and Sara Ali Khan's Simmba released a few hours ago and in no time it has turned out to be the top trend on every social media platform. The 2-minute-54-second promo has assured us that director Rohit Shetty will entertain us with this commercial masala entertainer in his trademark style. While Ranveer Singh's charismatic charm as Inspector Sangram Bhalerao aka Simmba bowled us over, the makers gave us a double treat in the form of a cameo of Ajay Devgn as Singham. The deadly combo of these two superstars will surely set the silver screens on fire.

Now here's one scoop which will definitely give you one more reason to watch Simmba upon its release. Do you remember the signature dialogue of Ajay Devgn in the Singham franchise? The dialogue that symbolises the roar of an angry lion. It's "Ata Majhi Satakli." Yes, this dialogue, which made the audience hoot in cinema halls will once again be repeated in Simmba. Now, isn't that awesome? Though we are curious to find out if Ranveer himself will deliver this power-packed dialogue for not, we are happy that it has made it to this film nevertheless. (Also Read: Simmba trailer: From Ranveer Singh s swag to Ajay Devgn s Singham style entry here are our favourite moments from the promo)

Talking about Simmba, the film is official remake of Jr NTR and Kajal Aggarwal-starrer Temper and also stars Sonu Sood, Ashutosh Rana and Vaidehi Parshurami in pivotal roles. Produced under the banners of Dharma Productions and Rohit Shetty Picturez, the film is set to hit the screens on December 28. It is the last Bollywood release of the year and we hope that we hope the film industry end 2018 with a blockbuster film.
