Model measure
Even as eighty celebrities walked the ramp for Beti, a fashion show by Gitanjali
jewellers, Sonali Mukherjee, a commoner, was noticed. An acid attack victim, Sonali spoke about her journey and how she was recuperating, both physically and mentally, from that tormenting event of her life. In the West, earlier this year, Malala
Yusufzai, was positioned by Gucci as the role model for their Chime for Change campaign that aims to highlight women's rights.
Bollywood celebrities intruding the domain of models or cricketers walking down the ramp is a norm now.

From a romantic eye
Who hasn't, at some point or the other, given into the romanticised escape route of Harlequin's Mills and Boon? As an adolescent, romance fiction would jostle for space with medical titles and when she was qualified enough to write prescriptions, she chose to pen her imagination. Save for the iconic Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle, save for a few examples, we haven't really heard of those from the medical profession switching to fiction.
"I was an avid reader of Mills and Boon, and came across this advertisement at the end of the book, which invited Indians to write for Mills and Boon.

The right mix
Relaxing at the first floor of Hotel Altius, the Delhi-based DJ Gaurav appears to be complacent and unruffled when questioned about how he feels about the hoopla that is associated with the number one DJ title. "These days the new kids have come up with the concept of the so-called number one DJ, and not many of them quite understand the music that they are doing," he says.
Drink of the day
It might not be a novel concept, but it's somewhat new. The only description that finds place under the cocktails column is 'Ask The Bartender.'
"That's because every cocktail and mocktail in our menu will be customised as per the preference of the guest," shares Saurabh Aggarwal, COO, Lemongrass-26, while kick starting the Week of High Spirits.

Living life to the fullest
Parineeti Chopra says whatever is on her mind. She is a motormouth. She talks about her views
on life, love and more.
Status: single
I think many girls are single. I'm open to relationships but I don't think I can meet the right kind of person due to my hectic work schedule. I think I will have to find someone on the sets but when you are working with them day in day out, you don't think about it. I think I need to take a holiday. May be I will meet someone special.

Rishi’s adorable habit
Rishi Kapoor who remembers long dialogues easily finds it difficult to remember names of people. He has this very lovable habit of calling everyone with different name each time. On sets of his upcoming film, Shuddh Desi Romance, he would keep calling his co-stars
Parineeti, Sushant and people of the crew with different names without realising.
