'How's the josh?' Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and team's shoutout for Vicky Kaushal's Uri is too good to be missed - watch video

Vicky Kaushal's war-drama Uri: The Surgical Strike has finally released in the theatres today and has received a fair start at the box office. But the Aditya Dhar directorial which also stars Yami Gautam in the lead role is getting the Raazi actor all his due for Major Vihaan Shergill and his powerful performance in the gripping tale which is based on the Uri attack of 2016. In fact, his steady and consistent trail at the ticket windows speaks volumes about his craft and the body of work he is trying to build.

In fact, the Bollywood heartthrob had jetted off to Mumbai yesterday--along with biggies like Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Ayushmann and Khurrana more--to meet PM Narendra Modi to discuss the future of cinema. But that wasn't even the best part. It all turned interesting when the entire gang, on their way back gave a big shoutout for Uri in a classic filmy style. When Vicky asked 'How's the josh?' the team went 'High sir!' and the energy is infectious. Watch the video here.

Isn't it the sweetest thing? Earlier, Vicky told IANS, "In a short span of my career, Uri has been the most physically demanding film for me. We have worked really hard to make that film. It was really nice experience to work in the film." So, are you planning to watch the film this weekend? Let us know, tweet to us @bollywood_life!

Yash and Srinidhi Shetty's KGF crosses Rs 40 crore mark at the box office

Despite facing stiff competition from Bollywood biggies like Shah Rukh Khan's Zero and Ranveer Singh's Simmba, the Hindi version of Yash and Srinidhi Shetty starrer KGF has remained rock-steady at the box office and ended its third week on a winning note. It earned Rs 70 lakhs yesterday and now stands with the grand total of Rs 40.39 crore. Since Vicky Kaushal's Uri: The Surgical Strike and Anupam Kher's The Accidental Prime Minister has released today, KGF has lost maximum screens at the ticket windows.

Despite being a Kannada film, it struck a chord with the audience due to its riveting content. "As long as the story is engaging, there will be some emotional connect to it. As long as the film connects with you, emotionally identifies with you, I don't think language would be a barrier," said Ritesh Sidhwani from Excel Entertainment, who presented the Hindi version.

Talking about the reviews, our critic Urmimala Banerjee gave the film three stars and wrote, "Bollywood has made heroes out of many gangsters and this role should be a landmark one for Kannada superstar Yash. Engrossing content, super production values and an interesting premise for chapter two makes this a tantalising gangster flick." Anyway, have you liked the film? Tweet to us...

Here's why you may not get to see Ranbir Kapoor's solo picture with PM Narendra Modi

It's not every day that one gets to click a picture with PM Narendra Modi. So when Bollywood stars got the chance to have a word with him regarding the concerns of the industry and click pictures with him, everybody lined up for a solo click. We do the same when we meet these stars as well. So post the many group pictures, came the turn of many to post solo pictures on their Instagram account. We could see everybody just loved and felt honoured to stand next to PM Modi. But we realised even if Ranbir Kapoor did get a pic of his own with our PM, we might get to see it. Why? That's because this Kapoor guy is far away from social media. So obviously, unless someone sneaks it out onto the internet, there's no way that we can see it.

Now Ranbir had revealed earlier during an interview that he is on Instagram but he likes to keep the account a secret. That makes stalking easy, you see! He had said, I m not on Twitter. I m on Instagram. I m an invisible account, I don t post anything. But I stalk everyone. I never comment. I m scared of comments, because as an actor when you see the comments on articles or on videos then they strip you or flatter you. In my life, I ve never commented. I comment in my mind, never on a page. So there is a possibility that the picture might go viral eventually if he posts it on his secret and 'invisible' Insta account.

We still don't know what is the need to stay incognito on Insta. If you fear comments Ranbir, you can block them. There are settings for that! #Justsaying!

Thala Ajith's Viswasam BEATS Rajinikanth's Petta at the Tamil Nadu box office on Day 1!

Yesterday, two-big ticket films, Thalaivar Rajinikanth's Petta and Thala Ajith's Viswasam arrived at the box office and as expected both the ventures opened with big numbers at the ticket windows. Despite both the mega-budget movies receiving thunderous responses, a huge surprise came as Viswasam enjoyed a bigger opening day than Rajinikanth's Petta. This victory is commendable for the Thala Ajith starrer as it has lesser screens than Petta across Tamil Nadu.

Though, Petta has beaten Viswasam by a huge margin in the international markets as Thalaivar enjoys a huge fan base overseas. Since Petta has received average reviews from the cinegoers, it will be interesting to see how it will perform over the weekend in the domestic market. Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, it also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Vijay Sethupathi, Trisha and Simran Bagga in pivotal roles. Our critic, Gautham Pattikonda, gave the film two-and-a-half stars and wrote, "All said and done, watch Petta for Rajinikanth to go back in time and relive the 90s era of the superstar."

On the other hand, Thala Ajith's Viswasam, which also features Nayanthara in a lead role is directed by Siva. The film marks the fourth collaboration between the director and Ajith after Vedhalam, Veeram and Vivegam. Apart from the lead cast, it also features Vivek, Thambi Ramaiah, Yogi Babu, Bose Venkat and Kovai Sarala in pivotal roles. So, out of these two films, which is your pick for the weekend? Tweet to us...

'She is very proud of me,' Ranveer Singh on Deepika Padukone's reaction after watching Gully Boy teaser - watch video

It is safe to say that we are living in the era of Ranveer Singh. The actor who is still basking in the Simmba glow and its roaring run at the box office is all game for audiences to see him in a new avatar in Zoya Akhtar directorial's Gully Boy which also features Alia Bhatt in lead role. Like the names we mentioned are not enough, the trailer packed a powerful punch with thumping beats and resounding rap in Ranveer's baritone and we are floored. So much so that Twitter has been meme'ing every scene from the sneak peek and hey, we are not complaining.

Of course, fans couldn't stop talking about it when it dropped. Even celebrities like Vicky Kaushal, Ayushmann Khurrana and Katrina Kaif heaved praises about it for obvious reasons. But they aren't the only ones, even Deepika Padukone loves the entire vibe of Gulluy Boy and her man. How do we know that? Cause Ranveer said so himself recently. When asked what was DP's reaction he said, "Teaser dekha toh unko bahut pasand aaya. She loved the teaser and she is very proud of me." Not just that, he also let out that Zoya has edited the preview herself. "It was a very normal approach, Zoya (Akhtar, director) ne khud apne haathon se kata hai," he added. Watch the video here.

Earlier, he had spilled beans on what he likes about his wifey DP and had said, "She is so gharelu...I love it...I love it." He had also proclaimed, "I am going to be the husband of the millennium. I am going to glide and breeze through it." Honestly, we don't doubt that one bit.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Reveals The Worst Comment She’s Heard About Herself

Back in 1994, when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan won the Miss World title, she also won a lot of hearts. Even today, the actress has a number of fans who love her. But there is a certain episode that the gorgeous actress has not forgotten. In 2014, when Emraan Hashmi had made an appearance on Karan Johar‘s celebrity chat show, Koffee With Karan, he made a comment on Aishwarya which turned into a controversy. In the rapid fire round, he had called the actress plastic. Later, he did apologise for his comment in an interview with Hindustan Times saying he was an admirer of her work.

He said:

I didn’t mean it. I’m a big fan of Aishwarya. It’s the format of the show. I cannot not say things and not win the hamper. I love her. I have always been a great admirer of her work.

But looks like the Jazbaa actress has not forgotten it at all. During her appearance on Famously Filmfare, she was asked about the worst comment she’s ever heard about herself and she said it was the “fake and plastic” one.

Though Emraan apologised and said that it was just for the hamper, Aishwarya has clearly not gotten over it.

Directed by Zoya Akhtar, Gully Boy is inspired by the life of Mumbai street rappers, Naezy and Divine, who grew up in slums but went on to become leading rappers of the country.

Deepika Padukone's battle against depression now a part of a children's book - read details

Back in 2015, Deepika Padukone joined the list of celebrities who put a brave face and opened up about their battle with depression. With Deepika talking about her suffering in the public, stigmas attached to this subject vanished to some extent. In a way, the actress encouraged the ones suffering from depression to be not ashamed of themselves and be open about their illness. Her story was so inspirational that it has now been included in an upcoming children's book, The Dot That Went For A Walk. Written by Lakshmi Nambiar, Reema Gupta, and Sarada Akkineni, the book tells tales of 51 accomplished Indian women, that will introduce the concept of Women Power to kids from an early stage.

Revealing why they decided to include Deepika Padukone's story in the book, Lakshmi, the co-author, told Mid-Day, "From the acting community, Deepika emerged as a unanimous choice. When we dug deeper, we found that what inspired them about her is her honesty and willingness to talk about her vulnerabilities. By sharing her journey bravely with the world, she showed the younger generation that a healthy dialogue is needed as much on mental fitness as on physical fitness." She also revealed that the actress knows about the book and will be present at the book launch as well.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Deepika will soon start filming for Meghna Gulzar's, Chhapaak, which is based on the life of acid attack survivor, Laxmi Agarwal. The actress will be seen opposite Vikrant Massey in this biopic.

Why has producer Rajkumar Hirani’s name disappeared from the new posters of Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga? We wonder…

The buzz behind Sonam Kapoor's next release Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga was good since the word go. Of course, the fact that the actress and father/actor Anil Kapoor are coming together, as a reel-life father-daughter duo was always a brownie. But the reason that took the cake was the acknowledgement of the LGBTQIA community in a mainstream Hindi movie. The venture promised to celebrate love without brackets and barriers and it got all the hoots it deserved once the trailer was out. It teased (and eased a lot many into) the fact that Sonam will be seen romancing a girl, not a guy. We even told you exclusively that South actress Regina Cassandra is playing the part of Sonam's love interest in the movie.

And the good thing is, the word only seems to be growing with new tracks from the music album and brand-new posters reminding us all to mark the calendar about the release date of the Shelly Chopra directorial. But while we are still at posters, there is something we noticed and per usual we are here to share. For context, the first character posters were unveiled in late July last year.

Since then, not a lot has changed but there one name has been struck out and it's kind of a big deal. For your curiosity; we noticed that co-producer Rajkumar Hirani's name has been dropped from the new posters that were revealed on social media. Check out the latest one here.

Even the one featuring Sonam and Anil that was out in December didn't have his mention either.

The film has been produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani in association with Fox Star Studios but we wonder what compelled the makers to do what they did. Well, your guess is only as good as ours. Stay tuned to BL for more updates and scoops and let us know what you think about it @bollywood_life!

Amidst Controversies, Nawazuddin Siddiqui Talks About Essaying The Role Of Balasaheb Thackeray

Nawazuddin as Balasaheb Thackeray | Source: Instagram - @nawazuddin._siddiqui

A string of much anticipated movies are lined up for release on the coming Republic Day weekend. Three of the four films that will hit the theatres on January 25 are biopics. Except for Emraan Hashmi‘s Cheat India, Kangana Ranaut‘s Manikarnika, Hrithik Roshan‘s Super 30 and Nawazuddin Siddiqui‘s Thackeray are all based on real-life personalities.

While we are looking forward to watching all these films, Thackeray understandably seems to be the most controversial one. It’s already caught in a web of controversies – right from the dialogues being censored before the trailer launch to objections against his hate speech on South Indians.

With such hiccups surrounding the film prior to its release, we can’t help but wonder what Nawaz has to say about it. He has obviously poured his blood and sweat in playing one of the most potent and influential man of the country, a role best suited for an actor of his caliber only.

Talking about the difficulties of playing the character of Bal Thackeray, he told DNA:

I couldn’t ever imagine the difficulty this role would offer and I started growing nervous with time. The director helped me ease into the role while we were shooting. Balasaheb’s personality is so imposing that one can only try to live up to it. It has been a tremendous opportunity for me as an actor and I am ever thankful to Sanjay Raut.

We hope the hard work pays off, Nawazuddin. You never disappoint us!

After criticism, Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul's episode from Karan Johar's chat show gets pulled down

The last weekend and then a weak after has garnered the worst rep for cricket and showbiz more than ever. It all happened after all-rounder Hardik Pandya made the entire internet cringe and retch when he appeared on Karan Johar's chat show and the filmmaker egged him with his giggles. Now, nobody intends to intellectualise the format that literally wants all its guests to 'Stop making sense' but even then a lot of stuff that the Pandya said made news and not in a good way. Of course, he apologised for "Getting carried away" but nothing changes the fact that he passed rather misogynistic and racist remarks while wearing his "I'm a womanizer" attitude like a badge. So much so that, the BCCI issued a show cause notice to him and cricketer KL Rahul who accompanied him on the said show for his misdemeanour.

But clearly, it wasn't enough. The rage on social media gained more momentum due to the cricketer's ineffective apology and the whirlwind then took shape of a mass regulation for more reasons than one. The OTT platform has pulled down the controversial episode from the array of others and it goes to say about the above-mentioned. If you glance, the last episode that pops up is of Sonam Kapoor and the siblings.

Earlier, Hindustan Times quoted a senior BCCI official saying, "This attempt at an apology does in no way bring the issue to closure. This merely shows how lightly he takes the gravely serious issue of respecting women. His conduct was unacceptable. He needs to understand the impact the utterances of an international cricketer has in this country but more importantly, he needs to learn how to differentiate between the right and the wrong. Right now, he seems to merely respond to the outrage and not to his own thought process and conduct." Stay tuned to BL for more updates and scoops!

Surbhi Jyoti knows how to make chic look sexy and these pics are proof

We love Surbhi Jyoti as Bela on her TV show. Onscreen, she flaunts the lovely sarees, lehengas and salwar kameezes with aplomb. Off it, she is very comfortable in western wear. Blessed with good height and a svelte curvaceous frame, Surbhi rocks whatever outfit she wears. She looked hot AF in the red embellished jumpsuit that she wore for a recent awards ceremony. Surbhi looks equally great in dresses and shorts. The actress is hugely popular with the youth as well. Of late, she has been playing the long ethnic dresses that are quite a rage and Indian wear. Here are 11 looks of the actress that you can take fashion inspiration from...

In the mood to look flirty and feminine, try out this wine coloured dress with tiers. It is perfect for a lunch or an evening date.

We feel different coloured sandals would have worked better but there is no denying that this burgundy jumpsuit does full justice to her hot body.

This light pink lehenga does complete justice to Surbhi's natural beauty. It is the perfect outfit for a relaxed wedding party.

Her love affair with monochromes is endless. The chic crop top and pants make for good pieces even if worn individually.

There is nothing that looks as fresh and classy like a good tone of white. This dress is a perfect brunch material.

This outfit is the perfect example of how the Indian look can be made alluring and sexy. She again works the pastels to perfection.

Surbhi is not too much into bling but occasionally indulges in it. How do you rate this outfit?

How did you like our fashion feature on Surbhi? Do tweet and let us know at @bollywood_life

We both are extremely hardworking people, we both love our jobs, we are extremely big workaholics but at the same, we know that we have to prioritise each other as well. As you have seen, we keep flying across the world, even if it's for a day just to meet each other. We do that, while also prioritising our jobs. I think both of us understand that about each other."

The Accidental Prime Minister Movie Review: Akshaye Khanna steals the show in this tale of power and politics

Ever since The Accidental Prime Minister was announced, there has been a certain level of curiosity around the film. The trailer also got an immense response on social media. There is a certain section that has branded it as a propaganda film while others are simply curious to know what light will it throw on the relationship between former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the then ruling party. The film has piqued the curiosity of every politically aware person as well as others. Is The Accidental Prime Minister a pure propaganda film or is it a cinematic adaptation of what former media advisor Sanjaya Baru felt about the PM...Read on...

What is it about?
The film traces the journey of Dr Manmohan Singh as our PM for two terms and some of his decisions that were a matter of debate for the political circles, media and the general public. From the nuclear deal to the Balochistan matter, it explores all the main decisions made by the PM. Was he really a puppet as he was made out to be in popular media or was he too loyal to one political dynasty? The questions are interesting but does the film have answers to them...
What is hot...
The best part about TAPM is the casting. Hats off to the team that scouted for actors who look exactly like Indian politicians. The audience could identify each one of them. We mean, just check out the actor who plays the late BJP stalwart, Dr Atal Bihari Vajpayee. While much has been spoken about Anupam Kher's transformation into Dr Singh, it is Akshaye Khanna who drives the film. He brings alive the character of the intelligent, street smart, sharp and loyal media advisor and it is sheer joy to see him on scren. Snazzy formal wear makes him look great too. Suzanne Bernert as Sonia Gandhi is also very competent. Divya Seth Shah as Gursharan Kaur sparkles in the film. For a first time director, Vijay Ratnakar Gutte has a decent grip over the narrative of a controversial topic. It does not slacken it's pace anywhere. The film is peppered with wry humour and we do see glimpses of the human side of Dr Singh, who people know as a stoic and quiet man.
What's not
We have references to the nuclear deal, Balochistan and finally the slew of corruption charges before the 2014 elections. While the film showcases his apparent real feelings about the developments, it is all at a superficial level. The film refers to him as the Bhishma of Indian politics but it fails to show his emotions on being called a puppet PM. There are a couple of scenes where Kher looks very caricaturish. The second half might come across as a little condescending towards the current opposition party but it's finally. Lastly, the film is not too in-depth to hold the attention of the politically savvy and not very lucid for those ignorant about politics.
Verdict
The Accidental Prime Minister is a different film and one must laud the courage to pick up something so controversial. However, it needed better execution to make a real impact. It is a definite one time watch with its breezy narrative, superb casting and of course Akshaye Khanna who shines like a diamond. Does it redeem the image of Dr Manmohan Singh? Not as well as it was expected to...

[IN PICS] Amit Sadh and girlfriend Annabel DaSilva are all smiles and giggles as they get spotted by the paparazzi

Amit Sadh won over his audiences when he took a leap from television and debuted in the movie Kai Po Che in 2013. It was his screen presence that made him stand out in the ensemble cast. And honestly, there has been no looking back! With a mix of web-series and flicks, Amit will be seen next in projects that are only going to further his hold in Bollywood. Not just on the professional front, the actor is in a happy space in his personal life also thanks to his 'significant half' fitness model Annabel DaSilva.

The duo recently has been out there, making appearances together and we gotta say, they really make a handsome couple. A fit one at that! Almost inspiring us to hit the gym with our partner (after finding one). In fact, the paparazzi spotted them at the airport and they couldn't keep their hands off each other. Not to mention, the smiles and giggles that looks like the aftermath of a personal joke! Check out their adorable pictures here.

Earlier, Amit had taken to Instagram to introduce her and had written, "My guest on set!

Vicky Kaushal will invoke the patriotic fever in you as he talks about playing an Indian Army official in Uri - watch exclusive video

Hindi cinema's current muse Vicky Kaushal is riding high on the success of his last year. With back to back superhit movies and applause-worthy performances on the big and laptop screens, Kaushal proved that he is the best thing to happen to the industry. As 2019 has kickstarted, Kaushal must be having jittery feelings as his movie releases on the big screen. Uri: The Surgical Strike is the first Hindi movie of 2019 which has Kaushal in the front leading the cast. All eyes are already on Kaushal. The movie is indeed a special one for Vicky since he will also don the garb of an Indian army official. Although this is not the first time he will be seen wearing an army uniform (he wore it last in Raazi), in Uri he is wearing an Indian combat suit! When BollywoodLife sat down for a tete-a-tete with Kaushal, this had to be one of the questions that we had to ask him.

Kaushal being the sweet lad that he is, responds on how it felt wearing the Indian army uniform. He started by saying, "You are always looking forward to it, but when you wear it..." and then he goes on. He also talks about the Indian army and it will give you all the patriotic vibes just ahead of the coming Republic day.

Here take a look at the video...

The Aditya Dhar's directorial opens in theatres today and also features Yami Gautam and Paresh Rawal in the lead.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Thackeray, Vivek Oberoi’s Narendra Modi or Kangana Ranaut’s Manikarnika, which B-Town star looks like a replica of the real-life personalities? Vote now

While Bollywood will go on to make romantic, comedy and action movies, 2019 will be remembered as the year featuring an array of biopics. From movies on politicians to movies on sports stars, you name it and we bet Bollywood must be working on it. While we are bracing ourselves for more biopic announcements and making a list of biopics that are going to hit the big screen this year, we pulled out the first looks and photos of biopics which have already made their way online and began analyzing if the stars look close to the real-life personality they portray.

We looked at Anupam Kher from The Accidental Prime Minister, where he is playing Manmohan Singh, and compared him to the real political leader. Right from his body language to his style of addressing the gathering in the movie, we were convinced that there was no other star who could pull off the former prime minister s role.

Speaking of a movie on Prime Ministers, there is also a movie being made on the current Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The movie sees Vivek Oberoi fill the shoes of the political leader and we are vary of his portrayal. We would want to wait until a teaser or trailer gives us a better understanding of the movie.

Another political leader s story that will hit the big screen soon is Thackeray. The movie is based on Shiv Sena leader Bal Thackeray. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is bringing the leader s role to life on the big screen and the trailer shows the actor looks convincing as the political leader.

Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut is turning into the Queen of Jhansi for Manikarnika. The Rani Lakshmi Bai portrayal on the posters and in the trailer has impressed fans.

While we ve been waiting for the trailer or any sort of an update from Super 30, Hrithik Roshan had treated us to the first look of the movie based on life and works of Anand Kumar. The actor plays a mathematician who is known for his super 30 class that takes place in Patna. The actor sports a rugged, town-ish look for the movie.

And the last (as of now), we are listing the Gunjan Saxena biopic. The biopic based on one of the first Indian lady helicopter pilots to be posted in Kargil and it will see Janhvi Kapoor play the lead. The photos were leaked recently and the Dhadak star made our hearts skip a dhadak as she was photographed wearing the air force uniform.

While we love all these looks, we want to know from you: Which look to do you think comes closest to the real-life character? Vote below and let us know your thoughts.

11 Of Instagram’s Most Wanted Fashion & Beauty Brands

Instagram's Most Wanted Labels

If you ever wondered how much value social media adds to our lives (apart from the scandalous ways of the Kardashians), it’s bound to be a considerable amount. Instagram is where things are at right now, TBH. And in today’s age of digital marketing, e-com and “influencing“, it’s not that difficult to purchase information or items. We follow, we see, we like, we buy. It’s an addictive cycle; one that many currently cannot stop or hit pause.

But have you ever thought about how you came to follow or buy that product/(s)? Many of the people you follow, like, repost or share certain brands and labels on their profile leading to a rise in our unquenchable need for them. And using IG to rise to the ranks, owning those designer labels, brand and products have become somewhat of a trend. Below are a few labels that did the rounds last year, and will continue to do so in 2019—because they’re just that good!

1. Off-White Industrial Belt

Designer Virgil Abloh created the industrial belt that turned into an internet sensation almost overnight. Every model, actor, celebrity and influencer either had it, wore it or wanted it.

They even designed the same for their bag straps.

2. Summer Fridays Mask

Masking has taken a more travel-friendly and aesthetically-pleasing approach. Summer Fridays launched early in 2018 and it has already managed to amass a following of almost 114k. Their Jet Lag mask is a one-of-a-kind hydrating cream face mask that can be used in multiple ways. Also, it’s a super cute addition to your flatlays.

3. Bicycle Shorts

Initially wore and sported by Kim Kardashian (shocker!), this fashion trend was pretty hot despite their actual athletic use. Bike shorts seems to have been spotted on fashion runways, streets and IG feeds, and have gotten paired with crop tops, sweaters and see-through blouses and just about anything.

4. Gucci Logo Belt

Gucci‘s new logo belt was nothing but iconic in 2018. Not only was it the most consistently included item in the Lyst Index list, but it was the hottest selling fashion accessory too.

5. Louis Vuitton Ugly Sneakers

If you missed the ’80s party bus, don’t worry. The second half of 2018 saw these clumpy and quiet unattractive shoes posted on practically everyone’s feed. This year we see the ugly sneakers or dad shoes take things a little further.

6. Fenty Beauty Body Lava

Since moisturisers didn’t cut it, a body luminizer is where it’s at. Rihanna‘s Fenty Beauty body lava launch was by far the glow-iest and shiniest of products to launch. It helped makes the skin gloriously dewy and radiant.

7. Milk Makeup Kush Mascara & Brow Gel

CBD oil is having a major moment in the beauty and health industries. Milk Makeup‘s Kush brow gel and mascara was the beginning of a very cool trend in the makeup space. Hemp-derived cannabis oil helps hydrate and condition the brow and lash hair, which is why it became one of the most buzz-worthy products.

8. Dior Oblique Canvas Tote

No more than just a very, very stylish tote bag, this 3-month wait-list item is embroidery perfection at its best. Celebrities, A-listers and the biggest influencers in the fashion industry have been spotted sporting this canvas tote in not just one but two unique colours and prints.

9. Prada Flame Shoes

Even though they made their debut back in spring/summer 2012, these Prada shoes become a cult fave among the most famous influencers and models, especially during Fashion Week.

10. Nurse Jaime UpLift Roller

Something that’s equipped for the face and body, the UpLift Roller has been used but a ton of Hollywood celebrities. The unique hexagon shape holds 24 massaging stones and promises firmer and toned skin.

11. Dyson AirWrap

Revolutionising the way we style our hair, the Dyson AirWrap is a heat-free, hassle-free and effective way to get the hair you’ve always desired. Selling out worldwide in minutes, this hair tool is something every beauty girl needs.

Which famous product have you invested in? We’d love to know in the comments below!
