Resplendent ramp
It’s time for sleek designs and enthusiastic designers at the Kingfisher Ultra Chandigarh Style Week, which kicked-off on Thursday…
It’s a usual scene prior to a fashion show — flurry in the green room, smell of burning hair as irons roll them in or out and make-up kits spread out. You can also hear retro Bollywood music in the background, mixed with thumping sound of the hammer as the ramp is fixed. Meanwhile, models gear up for fittings and fashion designers take account of the situation, besides stealing a few minutes from their busy evening to share the inspiration behind their collection and other details at the Kingfisher Ultra Chandigarh Style Week, which kicked-off on Thursday.
Surprise element!
The moment we think we have understood singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh, he comes up with something that puts us back to square one. What do you do then? Start unraveling him all over again. The desi star, dressed up in true Punjabi attire, chooses to talk in crisp English. And mind you, the grammar, sentence formation—everything well in place. Not that this is a criteria to judge anyone, but the Diljit we knew, always preferred to interact in people’s language. What’s new today? He laughs, “Nothing, just surprising you,” removing the crease from his kurta.
All in the game
The shrewd game that changed the destiny of India and became the premise of one of the world's greatest epics — The Mahabharata — is about to unfold on Star Plus. The show that captured the hearts of viewers across the country is all set to showcase the infamous 'game of dice' between the Pandavas and Kauravas, which becomes the turning point. However, little is known about the game, its players and the bets at stake. Star Plus demystifies the game of dice, unravelling not only the rules that were laid but how the players were manipulated with words.
