Serious tone, intense tenor
Actor Adil Hussain is happy that Indian cinema has evolved enough to have made use of actors like him, who do not belong to the six-pack bracket
As an actor, he romances the nuances of Indian cinema that derives absolutely no influence from the European cinema and as a teacher he advocates the sanctity of knowledge and guidance to hone raw talent. While most of us may remember Adil Hussain for his roles in Life of a Pi and English
Vinglish, Adil confesses that acting is still a challenge for him.

Shine, oil-free
It's not just the teenagers who have oily skin, for many people of all ages it's a fact of life and the problem increases manifold in the current rainy season. The sebaceous glands produce a substance called sebum, a naturally healthy skin lubricant. The problem starts when the sebaceous glands become overactive and start producing sebum in higher quantities than normal; the resultant secretions become heavy and thick in texture leading to the disorder of oily skin. Oily skin is typified by shininess, blemishes and acne.

What a sweet, petite girl!
Mom, rahul and me; that comprises my family after my dad…it is very close-knit unit. And very dependent on each other while at the same time self-sufficient too. We never felt the need for an outsider to complete us. Until of course my brother decided to get married.

Let’s talk about films
Jacqueline Fernandez talks about her equation with Salman Khan, relationships, films, and more.
Salman’s leady lady: Salman Khan is a huge star and his stardom transcends everything. But I don't agree that I'll be reduced to being a decorative prop. I never even thought I'd get to act in a film as huge as Kick. Being Salman's heroine will get me the kind of exposure I had never even expected. In fact, when Nadiad (producer-director Sajid
Nadiadwala) called me to the office I thought he wanted me to do a special number in the film. When he told me he wanted me as Salman's leading lady, I rushed to the Mount Mary church to offer a prayer of thanks. I was over the moon!

Phone bling says a lot about you...
A latest study makes some interesting observations about how people use mobile phone accessories. A research at Pennsylvania State University suggests that Americans tend to spend less on customising their mobile phones. Instead, their counterparts, the South Koreans love to accessorise their phones. They use charms, stickers, ringtones and phone cases to decorate their phones. The study says it's because Americans consider self-expression over how others perceive them.
