An admirable KHILADI
Akshay Kumar, in Chandigarh to promote
Desi Boyz
, promises the flick to be an entertainer with a soul
Bollywood boasts of many Punjab de putar, but when it comes to Khiladi Akshay Kumar, things are certainly different. In Chandigarh at JW Marriott-35 on Sunday, to promote his upcoming Desi
Boyz, one got to see many shades of this action hero's personality. As he took the stage with two beauties Chitrangada Singh and Deeepika Padukone in tow, a warm Sat Sri
Akal, a little reprove to boisterous lensmen and his earnest attempt to answer every question thrown at him, made Akshay endearing in his off screen avatar as well!

Gorgeous goes desi
Actresses Deepika Padukone and Chitrangada Singh share their experiences in
Desi Boyz
In Rome do like the Romans do. Of course, you know about it, but the knowledge of it isn't enough if you don't know how and where to use it. May be you can take a lesson or two from gorgeous actress Deepika Padukone and sultry lady Chitrangada Singh.
Dressed in Punjabi suits, the two ladies made their as-expected-late-entry at JW Marriot along with actor Akshay Kumar to promote their upcoming movie Desi
Boyz. Deepika and Chitrangada did try to follow the Romans, in this case the Punjabi's. If only they could interact in Punjabi, we probably would have advocated their name for a Punjabi movie! As of now the not so desi girls from the Desi Boyz have something to say. Don't expect revelations or spicy banter…All is Well.
Modelling over Bollywood
One of the most sought after male models in India currently, Sahil Shroff is taking a plunge into acting with Shah Rukh Khan starrer Don 2 but he says he is not quitting the runway as yet.
Sahil is all set to make his Bollywood debut with the Farhan Akhtar directed film, a sequel to 2006's Don, which also stars Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani and Lara
Dutta.
Getting naughty
Contrary to what you expect of an actor who is a name synonymous to parallel cinema, Chitrangada gets naughty in Desi Boyz. The actress is loving every bit of it. "I play Tanya Sharma, a professor who falls for Jerry in the movie. She has a different side to herself. Tanya can break into Salsa dance any moment, she is fun," adds the sultry beauty. So the actress can break away from the serious Sudhir Mishra type movie anytime. She laughs, "With Desi Boyz I am trying commercial cinema. I would love to do more of it" Is it a bye forever to parallel cinema. "Both the genres are different, and I have had the opportunity to work in both," she leaves the question hanging in air.
TREND SETTER
Suit your style
Every person has a sense of style in his own right. Yet there are only 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 Karan Chhabra, engineering student, Rayat and Bahra Institute, totally believes in dressing up and takes a keen interest in fashion.
Master Chef
Fudge & Frolic
When I'm feeling blue, I promptly switch to the colour brown.....chocolate brown to be precise ! Nothing lifts the mood as instantly, successfully and delightfully as anything that has to do with chocolate ! Kuchh meetha ho jaaye has become a pet phrase for all candy lovers. I confess, my name belongs on top of that list ! It's a delightful activity to blend and bubble a handful of ingredients to turn out a batch of homemade fudge. Digging your teeth into a chunk of that heaven would be a change from the usual bars that we would buy off the shelves. Ofcourse even kids love everything that has chocolate in it.
GET PHYSICAL
Burn fat with circuit training
Circuit training is a comparatively new addition in the field of physical training. It was first proposed in the late 1950s as a method to develop general fitness. And if your goal is to improve your general health and fitness, circuit training should be an obvious first choice as this type of training is very versatile and provides tons of variety and calorie-burning in a short period of time.
Stress buster
Be positive
"I'm feeling totally stressed out, I simply want to tear my hair, nothing seems to go my way, god is surely against me!"
Now does that sound familiar, it could be just you. There are moments when we all go through this so called traumatic phase. All our senses seem to be taken over by a negative spiral.
There is no particular reason we can pinpoint as the cause, yet everything we touch physically, mentally and
emotionally seems to be live wire.
Shopping offline
Shopping can be six times slower online than taking a trip down the high street, a new study has suggested. The supposed stress-free ease of online shopping has seen it become one of the fastest growing sectors in the market place, accounting for about 15 per cent of
all purchases.
Superhero talks
Though Ra.One received mixed reviews one thing that everyone agreed upon was that Shah Rukh Khan opened doors to the idea that superhero movies could be seen a lot more in Bollywood. For Shah Rukh Khan, the movie was made for his children, as they were superhero fans. Keeping this in mind, he picks out his superheroes for us.
Bad to worst
In the span of merely a few months, Ashton Kutcher, who was considered by many of his fans as an adorable dork, has managed to ruin that reputation to become a despicable dude. While many women consider it cool for Demi Moore to stick up for herself in her statement to the press, many men and women agree that they simply couldn’t stand Kutcher any longer.
“Ashton’s cheating has totally destroyed his image. When he was married and loyal to Demi Moore, he was hot.
The betrayer: Ashton Kutcher
Sizzling chemistry
UK based bikini model Amy Jackson and Bollywood actor Prateik are dating. They are seen hand- in-hand and very comfortable with each other at parties and at functions. They spend all their free time together.
Reality bytes
Kim Kardashian, who has been strangely quiet for the past few days as her public profile disintegrates, has reportedly planned to use her new reality show to depict her as the victim in the broken marriage. The new series of Kourtney and Kim Take New York hits E! on 27th November and will feature the untold story of the breakdown of the 31-year-old socialite’s marriage.
Dynamic duo
International group Beau Geste presents an amazing dance between man and the machine
Never before did we see a man move rhythmically to the movement of a machine. Never before did we a machine that could be musical in nature. And we did see it for the first time at Alliance
Française, which in association with JCB India Ltd gave Chandigarh a chance to see a different kind of dance by the international group Beau
Geste.

The beginner
Actor Sikander Kher didn’t have a dream start in Bollywood like other star kids, but the son of veteran actors Anupam and Kirron Kher has no complaints. He says he is always open to criticism and constantly tries to improve himself. “I have never really thought about praise or criticism. I just believe in working. However, I am definitely open to criticism
as it gives you the scope to improve upon yourself,” said Sikander
The race is on...
For the first time, an entire racing event was named after a film and The Dirty Picture is the first to earn that
distinction.
It's tough to sustain as a lead : Chhavi
Mittal
Television actress Chhavi Mittal, popularly known as Disha of TV show Tumhari Disha, admits it is difficult to keep getting lead roles in television
shows. “It’s very difficult to sustain yourself as a main lead in the industry. I consider myself fortunate enough to still get the main leads. After working for so long, there is still freshness in me. I am exposed but not over-exposed,” she
added.
