Sans bling, what style
Where is the bling? Where are the satins or silks, the trademark fabrics used in making folk costumes? Where is the heavy embroidery, gotta work on the borders, jewellery and accessories?
Fifteen years ago bling confirmed the celebrity status of Punjabi singers; not that they compromised on the music, but Gurdas
Maan, Hans Raj Hans, Kuldeep Manak were fashion icons in their own way.
Punjabi singers talk about the style statement they like to make on stage and in their albums

And all thanks is due to the Department of Cultural Affairs, Chandigarh Administration and Tagore Theatre Society, which brings in the best of theatrical productions for the festival scheduled from September 17 to 21 at the Tagore Theatre.

Great.One
Although the film is yet to be released, the song has already become a hit with music lovers. It has to be. For, not everyday we have Akon crooning for a Bollywood flick. Chammak Challo from Ra.One is a complete package that has great music and choreography. SRK's fan got to see him after a long time but the wait has been worth it. He is looking fit and Kareena, as always, is looking gorgeous. But the hero of the song remains Akon. His fans tell us why.
