Honey, please don't preach!
Haryanavis are happy that they would be able to see their favourite rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh in person as he goes around telling people whom to vote for. But whether young voters would get swayed by his charm, only time will tell...
After whipping up half a dozen songs for the biggies of Bollywood, the desi kalakaar has now turned his radar to not-looked-upon-as-a-neat structure of democracy, politics. Or let's put it this way- Tau's party in Haryana, the INLD, has focused their generous attention to Yo Yo Honey Singh. The singer rapper is now asking people to vote for former Haryana CM and INLD founder Devi Lal's party.

A real take on romance
They look radiant in their bright sarees and jewellery even though they don't eat or drink from dawn to dusk. How realistic is the reel Karva Chauth? Celebs speak up…
There she sat, on the terrace, waiting for him to return so that she could look at his face before she sipped water. But little did she know, he too was dying of thirst and wanted to see her as bad. So, after that little coochie cooing, Simran (Kajol) took a good look at Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) and broke her Karva Chauth fast. And they lived happily ever after.
At least, this is what the famous mush film Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaingey showed us. And later on, many other Hindi films followed suit. The undying love of a married woman for her husband blossoms on the day of Karva Chauth. If films like Masti, Biwi No 1, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Hum Saath Saath Hain, Judaai are some films that have captured the splendour of Karva Chauth.

Make your day!
A game of tambola, walk on the ramp or getting a makeover…you don't need to wonder what to do the entire day and the overstretched evening as the moon plays hide and seek every year on this particular day! Karva Chauth is one the toughest fasts that women (and now some men too) do and as ever our entrepreneurial Chandigarh wives are all geared to celebrate the day big way. Mehandi, dressing, make-up in place, you can step into Step 2 Step Dance Studio, Mohali. Special celebrations would mark rounds of activities like tambola, mehandi presentation to culminate in a fashion show replete with an entertaining question/answer round.

DID Super Moms contestant, Mithu Chowdhury, roots for the show and the need for mommies to explore their talent
The stereotypically universal definition of a mother personifies her as the epitome of unconditional love, sacrifice and a perennial source of support. However, in their attempts to fit into the frame of this definition, most mothers ignore their individual capacity to define talent and overlook any opportunity that vents this talent. So, how many talented mommies do you know? The ones who have sacrificed their talent at the altar of motherhood?

Film: Police in Pollywood
Curiosity kills the cat… sometimes, or let's say, most of the times, it is better to go by certain set adages, rules and statements! Only this time, the cat doesn't get killed in its curious attempt, but injured. Here is how it happens. The eagerness to see the comeback of actor-turned- politician Bhagwant Mann pulls you to watch the Punjabi film Police In Pollywood only to realise all that glitters is not gold. It can be silver or even bronze!

Some hits, some misses
We take a look at what our leading ladies wore earlier this week...
Thumbs up to Deepika: Deepika Padukone has taken geometric prints and pantsuits to an entirely new level with this look. Her shoes are gorgeous, the fit is perfect for her, but we're not really sure how well it works. It looks like she may be heading out to a pajama party rather than rocking a red carpet event. She gets a thumbs-up for trying though!

Actor Harshad Chopda, who is currently seen In the television show, Humsafars , talks about his role and more...
Tell us about your character.
I play Sahir Azim Chaudhary. He is a poet by heart but he acts very cold. He has a history, which affected him and changed his personality. He is a mysterious personality. He has a shield around him that makes him someone who is not easily available.
How does it feel to get back on TV after two years?
It actually feels good. I am glad that I took a break. Now I'm like a blank paper, ready to write a new story.
