"You can opt for natural and dainty or stay bare,
or be garish and gaudy and have fake hair,
it doesn't matter what you do,
as long as your 'adah' is alive in you!"
If you think being a cover girl for a lifestyle magazine is an unachievable pipe dream, this proves it's not. The above short poem or a rhyme, whatever you call it, is written by the newest cover girl Adah Sharma. Now let's admit it, to become a cover girl (for any magazine) is an honour. Instead of typical high fashion models which are primarily suitable for runway modeling, magazines enforce a commercial look, a commercial celebrity that'll sell their glossy pages. Welcome Adah Sharma to the newest form of art - the cover. She features on this month's cover of Avant Garde Life.
Adah quotes, "It's my first fashion shoot. The cover is about a dazzling diva, the arc lights shining brightly at her, staring at her and she's staring back at them strongly. Her eyes are confident, constant, decided and doubtless. She's chic and snazzy and oozes charisma from every pore, and with all that heavy metal she's wearing, yes she's a rockstar!"
She adds, "To me 'style' you have to be born with...'Fashion' can be bought. While fashion keeps changing every month, style is eternal. Your style is your 'adah'. You can buy all the fashionable stuff from everywhere on the planet but if you don't have the right 'adah' you can go all wrong. I love being well dressed, dressed in all the loveliest clothes but if you lack poise and grace, you can't flaunt your clothes off. Style is my way of life, it's ingrained in the way I walk and talk. I breathe in style, eat, think, sleep and even sneeze in style. Every cell in my body has in it a different 'adah'."
This is definitely one mag to pick up from the stands to know more about Adah Sharma.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 7 Jul 2009 | 9:09 am Sports helped me tackle success and failure: Deepika - Hindu
Source: Entertainment - Google News | 7 Jul 2009 | 7:45 am "I loved Kambakkht Ishq" - Saif Ali Khan
Saif has made a promise to Kareena. He'll have a double celebration for the success of Kareena's release Kambhakkht Ishq and his own Love Aaj Kal. But if, God forbid. Kareena's film doesn't do well, there will be no celebration for Love Aaj Kal.
"That's true," admits Saif. "For me my film and Bebo's are equally important. In fact if there's a choice, I'd rather have her film work than mine. God willing, both films will be hits. And we'll have a double celebration."
Saif is openly appreciative of Kareena's on-screen bonding with Akshay. "Akshay is a great guy. I've had a great time working with him in so many films. In Tashan, all three of us, Bebo, Akshay and I had great fun. He's one co-star both Bebo and I like."
There was therefore no awkwardness at all regarding the kissing scenes between Akshay and Kareena. "They are more funny than titillating," grins Saif.
Says Saif, "I loved the film. Bebo and Akki look their career best. I think the film is great fun! I'd love to see it again. I think it is going to be a huge hit. And oh yes, my kids loved it too."
Saif and his two children Sarah and Ebrahim saw Kareena's Kambhakkht Ishq on Tuesday night and they were bowled over.
Sarah and Ebrahim are hugely fond of Kareena, and fans of her films. The bonding between Kareena and the two children is very easy to see.
Says Kareena, "Oh Sarah and Ebrahim loved the film. Unfortunately, my sister and my father are out of country and couldn't attend screening. I can't wait for them to see KI."Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 7 Jul 2009 | 7:39 am Humungous expectations from 'Love Aaj Kal'
There're humungous expectations from LOVE AAJ KAL, but Imtiaz Ali isn't nervous. "People are bound to compare LOVE AAJ KAL with JAB WE MET, but that's something I'm not worried about. Neither am I nervous. And nor am I getting any sleepless nights. I guess, it's an emotional defect," Imtiaz chuckles.
LOVE AAJ KAL marks the debut of Saif Ali Khan as a producer [he's co-producing the film with Dinesh Vijan]. "When Saif first told me he was keen to produce the film, I was surprised. I asked him the reasons for turning producer and I was convinced when he spelt them out. He wants to make movies that he believes in and our thoughts matched completely," Imtiaz reveals, "But Saif also clarified that he'd concentrate on acting only, while Dinesh would look after the day-to-day production."
Since the film is produced by Saif himself, one expected Kareena Kapoor to star in the film, but it's Deepika Padukone this time. "I wouldn't be justifying her [Kareena] talent if I didn't give her the same importance as in JAB WE MET. Deepika was always my first choice and I must add, she has enacted her part with amazing understanding. I am sure, people will be pleasantly surprised," Imtiaz divulges.
Not many are aware that Imtiaz was keen on calling the film AAJ KAL, since the film talks of kal [Rishi Kapoor] and aaj [Saif]. "Since the film is primarily a love story, we decided to add 'Love' before 'Aaj Kal'. That explains the title," Imtiaz adds.
So what's his next move? "I haven't finalized a script yet, but I have one film with Shree Ashtavinayak and another with Sajid Nadiadwala," he reveals.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 7 Jul 2009 | 7:34 am Akshay Kumar is thrilled & upset
Akshay Kumar is thrilled and upset at the same time. Thrilled, because his new movie, KAMBAKKHT ISHQ, has taken an incredible start from East to West and from North to South. Post JUMBO, CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA and 8 x 10 TASVEER, Akshay had become everyone's favorite punching bag. Once considered the blue-eyed boy of one and all, Akshay was dropped like a hot potato after a string of flops.
"I was disillusioned. I would be lying if I said that the flops didn't affect me. They did, especially the failure of CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA. I was heart-broken, crest-fallen," Akshay informs me. He's just back from a whirlwind tour [Puerto Rico, London, Delhi, now Mumbai] and has barely slept since the past few days.
"I was extremely nervous. I couldn't sleep. What if KAMBAKKHT ISHQ doesn't open well? That thought kept bothering me," Akshay admits. But now that the film has fetched a superb start, the actor is feeling relieved. "Aaj raat achchi neend aayegi," he flashes his charismatic smile, when he's told that the film should have a record-breaking opening weekend.
But Akshay's upset too -- and it shows -- when he feels that there's a strategy to pull him down. The negative sms-es during the paid previews and the subsequent messages ridiculing his film have hurt him. "Why do we resort to such things? Aren't we happy that the audiences are back? NEW YORK attracted crowds, now KAMBAKKHT ISHQ has. LUCK, LOVE AAJ KAL and KAMINEY would also bring crowds. The volume of business is only increasing. But by resorting to such things, we are only harming ourselves," Akshay says.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 7 Jul 2009 | 7:29 am I loved Kambakkht Ishq: Saif Ali Khan - Sify
