In Chandigarh on Wednesday, Dipannita opens the conversation in a rather affable tone, "I am married to a Punjabi and most of his relatives are in Chandigarh.

Apple quickie!
Apples give us some wondrous winter delights, the best among them being apple pie! But baking one makes a novice nervous. There's a nagging fear of the pastry remaining undone, or worse still, getting burnt. When I was an uninitiated fool, I used to even worry about the apples sandwiched between two layers of rolled pastry. Once they went hiding out of sight, I never could fathom if they were cooking to the right tenderness or not.

A city that enchants
The bird's eye view of Chandigarh is so delightful. It's a well-planned green beautiful city. Coming here for a new film added to the excitement. This trip has had a lot for me in store and I am not complaining at all!
After checking in, I took the opportunity of going to my favourite hub, Sector 17. The vibe, the popcorns, the hustle bustle and the shopping! And no, I didn't cover my face! There were people, admiring, smiling coming for pictures respectfully, not intrusive at all! It was in fact so much fun!

One being that the lead pair, Adi and Pankhuri, has been shooting in the exotic lands of Australia for their honeymoon and second, Nakuul finally had the chance to visit the Melbourne Cricket Stadium.

Angry, young Arjun
Arjun Kapoor talks about Alia Bhatt, his upcoming movie, the angry image,
family and more
Fiery image: Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) was the quintessential angry young man while Anil chachu (Anil
Kapoor) was the jhakaas young man. It's too early for me to be bound to an image, I should be playing different characters. Thankfully, I play a bespectacled Punjabi boy in my next film. I can connect with Krish's attachment to his family, especially his mother and more. I explode on screen but otherwise I keep the anger inside me.
Time to spare
