Young crusaders

On a musical note
Most musicians take a while to find favour with the masses. On the other hand, there are a few who click instantly by the plain virtue of their talent. Jazzy B falls in the latter category. Being one of the most celebrated Punjabi singers, he is now exploring different facets of creativity but not at the cost of his intrinsic style. As he ventures into Punjabi cinema as an actor, we catch up with him to find more.

In the act
A sheer stroke of luck brought Keeya Khanna from Mumbai, where she was doing theatre, to Punjabi films.

Keeya, with three films in her kitty, is indeed quite upbeat about the future.

When dream comes true
Every passing day brings him closer to his dream, a dream that he had seen with his open eyes. Punjabi singer-actor Jassi Gill knew just one thing--not to give up on his dream. The hard work, patience and perseverance paid and now the singer is belting one hit after another. With Lancer, Pyar Mera, this youngster, who carries his heart on his sleeve, is climbing the popularity chart. He also makes his Pollywood debut with Mr And Mrs 420, which he says is going to be a full-on entertainment. It is not difficult to get Jassi started, and the singer sure knows his answers well!

Master Chef
Viva Mexicana!
Mexican food has a spiciness which we can instantly fall in love with. It has heat from chillies which we seldom see in most cuisines and our favourite cumin (jeera) for aroma and zing. It simplifies cooking Mexican food if you prepare a taco-mix at home and keep it handy at all times. It can be packed into a jar and pushed into a fridge shelf for as long as one year.

Ajaz Khan In two minds
While Ajaz Khan has been approached for Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi, he is in two minds about accepting it. He doesn't want the audiences to get the same Bigg Boss 7 déjà vu as Gauahar Khan too is part of the show. Earlier, Kushal Tandon too was in but due to his shoulder injury he won't be doing the show.

Cool & collected
