Ecological concern
Amitabh Bachchan The very popular James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, has not only served Her Majesty in the iconic series, but has also been a champion of forests and oceans in real life. While this 'best dressed environmentalist' has contributed significantly, so have others in his tribe.

Struck by luck
Mansha Bahl Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans! This certainly holds true for Mansha Bahl. This Delhi girl was screaming on top of her voice on a shopkeeper, when someone passing by told her, "Hey, you look pretty." Mansha reverted, "Mind your own business." The gentleman handed over his card and asked her to search his name on Google." Fight over.


FIRST ACT: Mansha Bahl

Man of action
Shake his hand and the firm grip impresses at once. Big silver rings on his fist, a chain and Arabian shemagh around his neck tells you that this is the man of action indeed. Slap, punch, bang, wooph, crack! He is the one who brings the scene alive and makes you sit wide-eyed; blood rushing through your veins as the action happens on the screen! Parvez Fazal Khan is not an action director by accident. He has worked as a stuntman, been bruised and punched. For him, fighting in front of the camera is not just a job or source of making a living, but a way of life.

Cut by cut
Students of NIIFT As models strut past, grabbing all the limelight and showing a natural affinity for the camera, a group of youngsters huddle in a corner. They welcome those with inquiries but don't reach out to the media to market their work on their own. Marketing is not their forte, not yet at least; all they know is how to design garments!
STITCH IN TIME: Students of NIIFT

CELEB POINT
The best company
My first trip abroad alone was to Japan when I was in class XII I was chosen to represent India for a Red Cross mutual cultural exchange programme. I was the only girl chosen from the country and it was a huge responsibility. So, I was tense.

Fruity flavour
Fruits, when 'dressed' up, always look much more attractive. That is why all five-star buffet spreads serve fruits in that fashion.

Guilty pleasures
Akhlaque Khan While the entire team of the new Lucknow-based show, Baawre, had a blast shooting the Lucknow, Akhlaque Khan, who essays the role of Azam in the show, went overboard to satiate his appetite for kebabs! Understandably, the young actor's stomach gave up to his desire to eat. "I just love new places and food, especially the kebabs. But, in Lucknow, my stomach surrendered, so I had to stop eating kebabs and switch over to khichdi, which was a punishment for me."
