A successful script
With more and more shootings of Bollywood movies taking place in Chandigarh, satellite industries like beauty, hospitality and escort services have got a boost…
Manisha Kapoor, homemaker, can recreate that day's happenings like it happened yesterday. "She was extremely pretty, a million dollar smile. Madhuri Dixit was shooting with Sanjay Kapoor in a Sector-5 bungalow for a song sequence and entire Chandigarh had gathered to see the two actors. It was in 1995 and the city had not seen something like this before," she smiles sharing how she managed to go right to the place where Madhuri was sitting. "There was hardly any security around her, only a few cops."

Karan Veer Singh, owner of Vimanika Comics, says he is proud to have reinvented mythology
There is no age to hold a comic and enter the fantasy world of the story-teller. And to inspire youngsters to read more on mythology, young
Mumbai-based entrepreneur Karan Veer Singh, who has always been intrigued by comics, launched the company Vimanika Comics in 2008.
Mythology has various aspects and these comics come with a code that explains most of them. Karan has been a marketing man and started working at the age of sixteen. He has worked with Amway Corporation and is a certified trainer from Franklin Covey.
Song of faith
Singer Manhar Udhas believes that reality shows provide a good platform to young singers, but they need to constantly work hard…
Rather than fighting it out everyday, sometimes resigning your life to circumstances gives it a direction and a sense of peace. Manhar
Udhas, the famous ghazal singer, in Chandigarh as part of the 16th installation ceremony at Shirdi Sai
Samaj, is observant, reading every face and smiling through his calmness. We haven't heard him for a while, though we would never have someone sing Har Kisi Ko Nahin Milta
(Jaanbaaz) with the same passion as he has!

Andrew Symonds in Bigg Boss 5?
All speculations of Navjot Singh Sidhu and Jonty Rhodes participating in Bigg Boss 5 have turned out to be false as neither cricketer-turned-commentator or South African all-rounder have made it to the Bigg Boss house. But the viewers will no longer be devoid of a cricketer inside the house as the season will see Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds on the show shortly.

The ‘in’ side
Workout in style
If you are disciplined and self motivated, then the decision to have a home gym will be one you will be proud of. It gives you the convenience and comfort to work out in the privacy of your home.
Firstly, find the best place to setup a gym. It can be a spare room or the basement.
Make a proper layout before you go shopping for equipment. Don’t cram up the area. Place all the heavy and tall equipment along the wall and keep the centre free for small equipments or for free style exercising.
It’s rocking
Addictive tune
Aadat Se Majboor is the first song of the album Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl. Benny Dayal lends his magical voice to this song. The lyrics justify the title of the movie, as the song reflects the image of a conman and Ranveer’s performance as a playboy is simply rocking in the video. It’s a perfect number to hit the dance floor.
