Evelyn Sharma Guns & roses
An entry into Bollywood is just the beginning of a long, enervating journey for any artist; sustaining in the industry, bagging work and meaty roles are the real challenges that need to be overcome to achieve stardom. A cameo in Yeh Jawani Hai Diwani gave Evelyn Sharma the much-desired break and introduced her to the industry, but soon she realised that was hardly enough. Then began the actual ordeal of how to bag films, more importantly substantial roles, where you aren't just the lead actor's prop. "The first step I took was hiring a Hindi tutor to get comfortable with the language," says the actor, who will now be seen in Main Tera Hero.

Bun brigade
Hair buns and braids might seem old-fashioned, but the blast from the past is getting popular with the women in Ludhiana with each passing day. Priyanka Chopra sports a high bun, Neha Sharma gets a messy braid tied…celebrities too are taking to them in a big manner!

Sandeep Singh and Avtar Bhogal Honour dishonour
What we perceived just as an epidemic afflicting India is also plaguing the Asian communities residing in the West. Surprisingly, Honour Killing is a bitter reality in countries like the UK as well, with the number of girls killed touching a whopping 5,000 each year! Taking the shocking number of casualties as the peg, Avtar Bhogal has attempted cinema that promises to be different, especially when everything else is a clutter of usual romantic comedy films with more or less the same cast.

Inheritance of a tune
The signature tune of the Jackie Shroff starrer Hero has been given a modern touch for his son Tiger Shroff's debut film, Heropanti. The famous tune, a melody played on the flute in hero has been taken from Hero and since Heropanti is set in the modern times, the tune has been modernised.

Make way for the crusaders

Well connected
As much as we like to believe in the power of Internet, it's true that many of us have been troubled with poor or low network connectivity. Interesting, the most popular young billionaire today, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, seems to have a solution in the making.

Niyati Chitkara License to host

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has chosen her as one of the ten TEDxChange scholars around the globe, which implies that she can now host a TEDx event with more that hundred attendees.

Puppy love

Though it has only been a few weeks since he bought Pumba, he feels that he has already established a bond with him.

A lethal cocktail
Beauty enhancers are supposed to improve a person's looks, but latest medical research now indicates that whoever uses these on a daily basis are flooding their bodies with numerous chemicals which can alter the normal cellular behaviour and thus the normal skin cell cycle and division, making the user prone to numerous health hazards. The problem with certain cosmetics is that some chemicals in their composite form get absorbed into the body through the skin.

More the merrier
