Punjabi by heart
Dressed in a firozi blue kameez, orange Patiala salwar, pink and blue dupatta, wrist loaded with bangles, golden earrings and golden platform heels, Kareena Kapoor definitely looked as beautiful as always, when she came calling to Chandigarh to promote Bodyguard.
 Wedding
wows
As of now, it doesn't bog her down to think that
her Bollywood career is almost done. After all these months of marriage, Isha
Koppikar is still busy with her new life. In fact the actor, who was in the city
to walk the ramp for Raakesh Agarvwal at Blenders Pride fashion show in
Chandigarh, feels that life hasn't been this good ever before. For actors who
fear their career getting over after tying the knot, she is happy to play the
role model. "Marrying the right person guarantees you security that's
always amiss in the industry like Bollywood, where you face cut-throat
competition, bear with the failures at box-office, hunt for substantial roles.
Marriage makes everything else take a backseat."
happily married:
Isha Koppikar
Style meets substance
 In
times when presence on Page 3 qualifies one's celebrity status, when socialising
in high-profile bashes is mandatory, when opening a store on a high-end fashion
street decides your status and when the friend list has to boast of A-listers;
celebrated designer Wendell Rodricks is more than happy to be out of the race.
And he still emerges as a winner, for when his contemporaries are busy
practicing the social norms; he is working on new collections and more
importantly, contributing towards social causes.

 Preserving
folk traditions…
It rather comes as a surprise to see a couple of young boys and girls sitting on
a dari and singing Rangle Manwa in Raag Sarang in this very age of remixes. A
little chiding from their professor and the group again breaks into a melody
getting the lilt or lyrics right. "Ours is an attempt to make it as
authentic as created by it’s creator Pandit Vishnu Digambar Pulaskar,"
says their teacher, Arvind Sharma soon after the class gets over.

Sensibly stylish
Every person has a sense of style in his own right. Yet there are only a few who'd attract the second glances, who have the power to make the camera go zoom on them. It could be tousled hair, it could be torn jeans. Our this week's face in the crowd, Mannat Mundi from School of Communication Studies, Panjab University, likes to keep it individualistic, when it comes to dressing.
