Make up a look!
Lisa Munlua, make-up expert, shares a tip or two on how to get that perfect look…
Some good make-up may not buy you a great skin, but it can certainly hide that! The truth about make-up is that it need not look like make-up. If it does, it better be in sync with the current trends. "During monsoon, less is always preferred on the face," shares Lisa Munlua, make-up expert, Inglot, during a promotional workshop by the brand in Chandigarh on Thursday. Apart from the monsoon look and the neon-inspired look that was demonstrated, there were other things that came up.

Katrina on a forced break
It seems fans of Katrina Kaif would have to settle down with watching other leading ladies of Bollywood. This year might not see any release of Katrina Kaif's movie. Although, the actress was seen in cameo roles in Bombay Talkies and Main Krishna Hoon. Though Katrina was working on two movies, one of which was scheduled for 2013 release, but things seem to be not working in favour of the pretty actress. Her movie Dhoom 3 which is a multi-starrer was scheduled for December 25th release. Katrina was playing the lead role along with Aamir Khan. But Aamir Khan, who plays an antagonist in this movie, has delayed the shooting. He wanted to be physically and mentally at his best for this role. He has asked the film makers for some time.

Shah Rukh names son AbRam
A statement by Shah Rukh Khan's publicist reveals the newborn's name. "Amidst all the noise that has been going around, the sweetest is the one made by our new-born baby, AbRam. As a family our silence on this subject has been because of the personal nature of emotional strife that we have been going through due to his health. Just to put the record straight there was no sex determination for our child. The baby was born much before the speculations of 'sex determination' were being raised. Our son is a surrogate baby. We would appeal to all, to allow us to cherish this private moment as a family," says the detailed statement.
