Sporting an attitude
Mahie Gill has made slow and steady progress in Bollywood. With each step, she is learning and willing to go the distance…
A few stereotypes break and a few are formed with each step that Mahie Gill takes in Bollywood. With Dev D, she established herself as a mature actor and then landed up with Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster as well as Paan Singh
Tomar. Now with an item number in Zanjeer, her phone hasn't stopped ringing with similar offers! Mahie doesn't rue it; she takes it all in her stride, at least as long as appreciation follows. "I lap up whatever would help me get better in Bollywood. I prefer to go with the flow rather than stagnate and wait for the 'right' projects," says the actor, who was in Chandigarh on Wednesday to promote Chandigarh Champions League 2 along with actor Yograj Singh. 'Right', she feels is a very subjective attribute, which changes with time, people and places, and shares what according to her is the 'right' thing to do in Bollywood.
No beating about!
Music is what Indeep Bakshi enjoyed from the very beginning. A song written for a friend, who stayed at a PG, on her birthday, became a game-changer for this architect by profession.
After tasting success with Saturday Saturday, Indeep is all set to release his album with as many as ten songs. Madame Ji is the title track. "The song is dedicated to women who go to clubs; drink, make merry and lead a happy life on their own," says
Indeep.

Jewellery designer Roopa Vohra loves her domain and she wants her designs to speak out...
For years, Roopa Vohra has been working towards reviving the old craft of handmade
jewellery. In the pursuit, she has many a times designed for those who belong to the glamour industry but has never switched to their territory. She doesn't want to be referred as part-celebrity-
part-jewellery-designer like her counterparts, who are socialites in their own right.

Tree talk
Trees are an integral part of landscaping. But one has to know the right tree for the right place
A landscapist is well aware about the principles of planting and placement of other landscape features. It is not that one can plant any and every tree, shrub or climber at a given space. The trees are the permanent features of the landscape. These are like concrete structures that can not be removed when once planted. It is, therefore, very important to make the right selection of species for the right location.

Wedding blues
Zee TV's Qubool Hai is set to witness another twist in the tale soon. The current plot on the show sees both the couples Asad-Zoya (Karan Singh Grover and Surbhi Jyoti) and Ayaan-Humeira (Vikrant Massey and Ketki Kadam) happy and contented after all the misunderstandings have been laid to rest. As a matter of fact, Asad and Zoya have even gone ahead and announced their wedding after Tanveer's exit from their lives, while Ayaan and Humeira are in plans to announce their wedding date on the day when Asad and Zoya tie the knot!
Get energised
High intensity interval training (HIIT) is an enhanced form of interval training with less intense recovery periods. HIIT is a form of cardiovascular exercise. Usually HIIT sessions may vary from 20-25 minutes. The short, intense workout is ideal for a busy schedule–whether to squeeze in a workout during the lunch break or to get in shape for a fast approaching event. HIIT workouts burn more calories during the day in comparison to a steady pace of run for 60 minutes.
Talk to the hand
It seems critically acclaimed actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has had enough of playing supporting roles. The 39-year-old, who will be next seen in a supporting role in The Lunchbox, tells us the reason…
Only lead roles: I will do only lead roles. I have decided to be stubborn about this decision now. Apart from The Lunchbox, there are two other films in which I have a supporting role.

Don’t miss Harry Potter: Daniel Radcliffe
Daniel Radcliffe is happy to have come a long way from his famous role as boy wizard Harry Potter.
Radcliffe has consciously picked up edgy roles to shed his Potter image. He stars in Michael Dowse’s rom-com The F Word and Alexandre Aja’s murder mystery Horns and as poet Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings.
The 24-year-old actor said he no longer misses playing Potter, reported a publication.
“I’m excited that people will finally get a chance to see me do different stuff. We had a fantastic time doing Harry Potter but it’s really exciting to move on and do other things,” he said during the Toronto International Film Festival. “I’ll always be incredibly proud of it. I wouldn’t be sitting here if it weren’t for Harry Potter. I have no illusions about that. But I don’t particularly miss it. I’m happy doing other things now,” Radcliffe said.

Pulling all the full stops
Actress Keira Knightley has ruled out singing on-screen again following her role in Can A Song Save Your Life, as she was terrified of showing off her vocal skills in the new film.
The actress, who plays a folk singer named Greta in the upcoming romantic drama, admits that belting out songs was a traumatic experience that she is unlikely to ever repeat, reported a publication online.
“I literally was given the songs about a week before we started shooting. We had to go straight into the studio and I had never sung before and I had to just kind of try and figure it out. So that’s what I did. I’m not going to do it again, that was it. No, no, no, that was my one and only. Come and see this film, that’ll be it,” she said.
Knightley previously revealed her husband, Klaxons rocker James Righton, tried to help her learn guitar for the shoot and he wasn’t impressed with her musical performance.
“I think he just laughed a lot really. You know saying, ‘Oh yeah, good luck!’,” she said.
