A dressing down
So, everyone in Bollywood right now is screaming in support of the actress Deepika Padukone who has lambasted a leading newspaper for carrying the pictures of her cleavage. The picture is dragged out from some success party of Chennai Express. If the industry is shouting 'wrong wrong', rebuking the media for having double standards, asking not to talk about women empowerment when they can't respect a woman, we wonder, should a woman be cautious of how she is dressed, is she vulnerable to prying eyes, to the cameras that can zoom-in on them at leisure? Does Deepika's incident become a lesson for an ordinary woman who likes to let her hair down at a party?
Bollywood meharbaan!
Those, who believe in experimenting with creativity, truly explore their talent as an artiste. For what else could possibly validate the evolution of Indian music industry, which witnessed several trends, courtesy, the musicians of various eras, ranging from the golden period of classic playback from 50s to 80s to the album culture in the 90s and the existing era of the digital download.
STAR TRACK
We have to stand for Deepika: SRK
Lauding Deepika Padukone's gutsy response to a leading newspaper for putting up her tasteless picture, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan said he fully supports his Happy New Year co-star. The 48-year-old actor said not everyone has the courage to take a stand publicly.
Speaking at the music launch of the Farah Khan-directed film, SRK said, "Let's not make that a conversational topic as many girls are present here in the event.

Fan goes frantic
Recently when Hrithik visited the opening of a fitness centre, a die-hard female fan insisted on meeting him. However, the superstar's bouncers didn't let her close to the star. The fan got so frantic that she broke down and burst into tears.
Action in Austria

Girlie bonding
Rumour has it that Priyanka Chopra and Anushka Sharma, who will be next seen together in Zoya Akhtar's Dil Dhadakne Do, are no longer friends. But in reality, the two actresses get along well just fine as they recently caught up with each other. Anushka even congratulated Priyanka on the success of Mary Kom. Now that's some girl bonding!
Poster dilemma
Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan are in a dilemma over which poster of PK to release next. This poster release will begin the promotions in full swing and this will be the third poster. The promo is not out yet.
Mane matters
The significance of what's 'in the head' may not hold much relevance with what's 'on the head', but then whoever said looks do matter must definitely have been wise! Perhaps that also reasons hairstylist and beauty expert Abhay Girdhar's passion for beauty and trends, especially when it comes to hair. We catch up with him for a candid conversation at a seminar with the team of Indola. Having trained at some of the reputed hair institutes in the country and abroad, Abhay represented India at the Matrix World Tour Asia Pacific in Indonasia. He has also presented several talk shows on beauty, including a show named Saundarya, which was telecast on Doordarshan Punjabi and a talk show for channel DTV by the name of Style Mantra. Currently, he is running his beauty and wellness institute, Abhay's Piazza in Ludhiana.
Reel obsession
Acting is what drives Purvi Mundada...
She doesn't go on a shopping rampage like her character Dolly in the tele serial Nisha Aur Uskey Cousins on Star Plus. Instead, she will weigh all the possibilities; think twice before taking the leap. Purvi Mundada is way different from her reel character, she nonetheless loves it because the buck for her stops at the word acting.
The regal touch
The Rajasthani Fair, an exhibition organised especially for women at the Lajpat Rai Bhawan, Sec 15-B, Chandigarh, is garnering a huge response, especially from women, around the city.

Heroic effort
Well, each one of us has our fair share of days when the fire of motivation that flames passion and potential seems to run out. If you are experiencing one of those days, here's an extra bit of spark in the form of music that will instantly light up your soul. Written by Danny O'Donoghue and Mark Sheehan of Irish pop rock band, The Script, the song Superheroes, the writer of which is James Barry, is a perfect blend of pop and rock. The lyrics that run along the theme of the song Fireworks, by Katy Perry, dwell on the idea of honouring those who suffer through hardships yet hold their heads up high. The song was originally recorded by the band for inclusion in their fourth studio album No Sound Without Silence and was first released as the band's twelfth single by Columbia Records.
Journey of expressions
Anil K Kadian, who penned his first book titled Sabab 101 poetic expressions, underlines the significance of words while highlighting their importance in his life at the launch of his novel on Tuesday.

It has 101 poems with pictures. It's a limited edition book and will soon hit the commercial stands," he says.
