 What's
COKE-ing?
Against a backdrop created by a merger of instruments from all genres, different hues of lighting, Arif Lohar and Meesha Shafi collaborate on Pir Meraya Jugni Ji on Coke Studio Pakistan. The spirit of the song, the high, low and dramatic pitches of Arif, the trendy interludes by Meesha win hearts and 8,900 hits in a single day!
VOICE OVER: Arif Lohar
Keep grooving…
One track leads to the second. One kind of music gives way to another. One genre is replaced by the other. Party may still not be over, and shift venues, the music follows closely! When you party everyday, it can't be on the same music. When you party every week, it anyways changes. The current hit list encompasses some of the constant genres.
The billboards, the chart busters would hardly ever tell you what's actually playing in the party circles…shares DJ KK, "Bollywood always rules. Apart from it, house music is popular too. Among Bollywood tracks, Char Baj Gaye, Party Abhi Baki Hai is the current fad."
Good thing in small package!
If it is television, everything has to be in loads. Loads of pancake, loads of
glycerine, loads of kanjeevarams, loads of melodrama, loads of rebirths, loads of amnesia, loads of extra marital affairs… when it is television it has to be loads! Anything less wouldn't work. So, when we saw a 3.5-feet girl playing the lead in Imagine's Baba Aiso Varr
Dhoondo, we wonder if television is doing away with the loads of conventional look-alike beauties.
In Chandigrah to promote their serial Baba Aiso Varr Dhoondo, Juhi Aslam from Agra, who plays Bharti in the serial along with Vikrant Massey who is playing
Murli, leading male actor, talk about breaking stereotypes, and transforming challenges into opportunities.
Juhi, a 3.5-feet polite and sweet girl is not bubbling with stories. Her life has been one roller-coaster journey, which is now translated as an onscreen drama Baba Aiso Varr
Dhoondo, with of course many directorial liberties! Juhi deliberates on every question asked to her.
Celebrating the Punjabi spirit
Any Punjabi who ever moves out of the state of sarson ensures that the 'Punjabi spirit' lives in his heart. One such person is TP Singh. A leisurely trip to London made him fall in love with the city and he decided to make it his hometown. Now ten years after living in London, this man is celebrating the Punjabi spirit on the screen. Now, ready with his third movie, the director is positive that it will have an impact on the NRI youth.

Oriental flavour
Chandigarh has many Chinese restaurants but what makes Yin Yang in Sector 22 special is their Feng Shui inspired interiors, the bright colour combination on the walls and off course the food. Also open in Phase X, Mohali, the restaurant serves Pan Asian delicacies to please Punjabi taste. Though the menu is replete with various dishes of the Indo-Chinese origin, it also includes a few dishes of Thai and Indonesian fare.

Asin is flying high
Asin made a splash with a spectacular debut opposite superstar Aamir Khan in Ghajini. Everybody had high hopes from her and London Dreams, but the film crashed at the box office. She is just three films old, but has already worked with stars in the league of Aamir and Salman Khan. She has come into her own again and won accolades for her performance in Ready. With Housefull 2 as her next film, she talks about her favourite genre, Salman Khan, and more.
B’day patch up
Sonam Kapoor had spoiled her equation with her mentor and director Sanjay Leela
Bhansali.

difficult to co-ordinate the dates and schedules of their huge cast in London.
Right impression
When Randeep Hooda was a struggling newcomer, he went to Mahesh Bhatt on the sets of one film and asked for some work. The director didn't pay him much attention then.
Sporty gal

Resourceful director

charge.

Aamir’s fundas
