It’s eclectic
Truly Asia
It’s Malaysia
Devinder Bir Kaur

 

IT is young. It is eclectic. It is modern. A city of the times. A shopping utopia— Yes it is Malaysia. `Selamat Datang' read the signboards as our 19-member Mega Familiarisation team arrives at Malaysia's dynamic capital city. It is early morning. The sun is still fighting the morning mist.

It’s Malaysia

"I wanted to play a Bollywood actress"
Rakhee Gupta

OHN Travolta is battling a serious problem. And that’s weight. The lean dancing machine of the 1977 Saturday Night Fever had packed in over 20 kilos in the last few years, looking more like a Sumo wrestler than a dashing star.

In the spotlight
Will Sur make music for Gauri Karnik?
Vimla Patil
W
HEN Gauri Karnik talks about her soon-to-be-released film Sur, her clear brown eyes sparkle and her thick, screwdriver curls bounce around her head jauntily. Obviously, making the film has been a challenging opportunity for her.
