Dad's the way!
Daddy's lil girl Priyanka Chopra was prepared about her father Dr Ashok Chopra's illness. But the day he died of cancer, her world fell apart. The little girl would miss the strong shoulders of her father. The pampering, the nagging, everything. My Daddy Strongest wasn't just a tagline for an advertisement, it is a fact we all know and enjoy. Lawn tennis player Andre Agassi was a product of an over-zealous father whom he hated for creating a tennis court to which he was figuratively chained to at the age of 7. Later, he saw how much he was like him.

All things classical
As the rainwater washed away the summer stress, it was time again for creativity, which was seething under the heat of the summer sun to express itself.

One for the road!
A club membership might come with its set of clichés and stipulations, but for some, the sense of belonging is a reason compelling enough. Others would rather celebrate getting together with like-minded people. Still some others revel in the recognition coming along the way.

To melody & memory
Robert Frost was asked what poetry meant to him. He picked the word emotion and joined it with thoughts. What emerged was something like this-poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

Ayushmann clears the air
Ayushmann Khurrana is more than a flash in the plan. His second film may not have done as well as his first but he is in a good space, has loads of visibility and also sets the record straight about his attitude and image.

Off the record
The lead girls in Zee TV’s Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke Roopal Tyagi and Mahima Makhwana are surely the closest sisters but off screen they don’t share such a good rapport. The reason is that Roopal is older to Mahima and she gets along much better with Aanchal Tyagi who plays Charu.
