Big on small screen
So, Bollywood finally seems to have crossed the final barrier. There were special guest appearances; cameos, star hosts and celebrity reality show contestants. But then that wasn't enough. So, they went a step ahead. Hey, we are not talking Hollywood here, instead a bigger phenomenon - the Indian television industry. Growing bigger in proportion and star appeal, the purple patch seems to be increasing in size!
The free float between the television industry and Bollywood has seen many actors juggling their careers. We have had small-time soap star making it big in Bollywood, but this time it's different. Mainstream actors are creating their own space in TV serials. And to start with, we have actor Yashpal Sharma, aka Lakha from Lagaan, making his TV debut with Zee TV's Mera Naam Karegi Roshan. And it is not a blink-and-miss performance or a special appearance but a full length lead role. Big money, wider reach, sustainability or just an alternative career…what's the catch? "For me, none of the above. In fact, the reason behind taking up the serial was my own satisfaction as an actor, which wasn't being fulfilled in Bollywood," shares Yashpal. Well, after powerful performances in Gangajal, Lagaan and recently Lamhaa, the statement comes as a surprise. "Bollywood is a game of a select few. A Lagaan my come once in 10 years, but in television you are visible everyday," he says. Sure, but then why would a successful Bollywood actor take the risk of changing over to television? "Television is grand now, there is no gap left for actors, work-wise. There is big money, strong scripts and characters. In Mera Naam…I play the main antagonist but my character is not totally 'dark'. There are a lot of emotions including comedy, drama etc," he says. But then Yashpal isn't the only example, another successful role reversal happened with Ronit Roy. Films, television and again films, Ronit seems to have found success both times. While his role of Mr Bajaj in Kasauti Zindagi Kay remains immortal in the daily soap history, his recent achievement came with Udaan. "An actor is an actor, irrespective of what medium he or she is representing. Its high time we move over the conventional approach of tagging actors in certain category. After working 10 years in television industry and still doing an Udaan, what matters is quality work. Similarly, if Bollywood actors are choosing television as a medium, it shouldn't be made into a big issue," says Ronit. Apart from the strong presence and universal appeal, another point that works is the transition of television from dramatic to real. With innovative themes and close to reality concepts, the opportunities are abundant. "The boundaries between television and films have dissolved. New and interesting ideas offer excitement for actors, who gain in terms of popularity as well as creative satisfaction," says Abhishek Rawat, who plays Shekhar in Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo on Zee TV. "With every new serial, production houses want fresh faces for an instant impact. And now with increased production standards, television is a good option even for Bollywood actors." Guess Akshay Kumar too understands the impact television has and so he was featured in an entire episode of Sasural Genda Phool on Star Plus as part of the story, to promote his latest film Khatta Meetha. " The character may change during the course of the telecast and therefore you can be versatile. The reason big names are choosing TV," says Ratan Rajput aka Lalli of Agle Janam… “If something excites you as an actor, you will not mind if it's a daily soap or a masala movie,”she adds. nehawalia@tribunemail.com |

Heeling touch
Perched much above the ground with the help of heels that have minimum possible diameter, these feet on the ramp bring fashion to us sans any complaint. "But that doesn't mean we were born with heels on. Walking in six inches of heels is one thing, but presenting the creations of the best designers with the mandatory catwalk is quite an ask," says Aanchal Kumar, from the city. To bring relief to women who love to create illusion about their height, researchers have invented injections that can help them wear heels for longer hours. And with Delhi Couture Week just around the corner, models will have to be in heels again. Now, even if models like Sonalika Sahay and Krishna Somani stand tall at five feet eleven inches, there is no escaping the heels. "The actual catwalk comes in heels only. Any given outfit looks more elegant in heels (read pencil) than flats or wedge," says Krishna Somani, an international model. For her, it's a professional requirement and helps her perform better on the ramp. "It took a lot of practice to walk in stilettos on the ramp. I only wore flats before becoming a model. The only way to feel comfortable in heels is by getting used to them."
Aanchal reminisces the initial days of her modelling career when she used to take off heels as soon as a show was over. "Soaking feet in lukewarm water brought immediate relief to the aching feet." But she feels stilettos are a must on the ramp, "A model can add a lot of grace to a designer's creation with the way she carries it on the ramp. If wearing heels serves the purpose then let it be. We go on the ramp to promote the creation and rest takes a backseat." However, given a chance, models would certainly like a ban on wearing heels. Sonalika Sahay, another leading model, wishes for a 'ban stilettos club.' "At times, there is no choice but to wear stilettos that go with the colour or theme of the garment. Models new to the industry judge themselves in the profession in terms of the hours they can wear heels for." And her suggestion to freshers in the industry is, "Practice well in stilettos. It's not easy to wear them for long hours." Stilettos probably got the maximum media coverage when were worn by Kareena Kapoor in Kambaqt Ishq. Film critics argued that the movie would have done better at the box office if producers paid more attention to the script than Jimmy Choo creations. Ashley Rebello, the stylist in the movie, however, is against high heels. He says, "Stilettos make sense with a short dress or a saree. Other than these, a garment can look equally good with any footwear, if carried with confidence." He adds that wearing heels with just 'anything' is vanity, "I often ask a lot of female actors why they want to wear uncomfortable heels if flats can complement the look. The priority should be comfort. Fashion should not be followed blindly." And high heels often lead to back problems and joint pains. Says Dr Raj Bahadur, Principal Director, GMCH 32: "The spine goes backward when you wear heels, which often leads to backache." ashima@tribunemail.com

Getting real, Online
Just when we thought we had enough of reality on the reality shows, ibibo announces the first online reality show. Makes sense! With the entire world hooked on to networking sites, this reality show sure gets its share of brownie points.
Ibibo in collaboration with Maruti Suzuki organised a talent hunt called Maruti Suzuki Ibibo I-serial Star after which India's first online serial was made and participants were chosen in three categories — acting, direction and scriptwriting. It would be a 24-episode online serial that would be broadcasted over the social networking site. Ibibo.com has partnered with Maruti Suzuki to bring this unique opportunity for the young and talented to showcase their talent. The contest was judged by Raman Kumar, who created Tara for Zee TV, India's first serial on satellite TV and Khalid Hashmi, who launched Zee News, India's first dedicated news channel. The winners were selected on the basis of the number of votes obtained. Says Khalid, "With the Internet revolution, this seems to be just the right thing to do. This online reality show will be a mix of fiction and reality. Ibibo has conceptualised this novel idea of inviting upcoming writers, directors, and even actors to come online and showcase their respective talents. This gives users the chance to write, direct and even act in a serial that would be made by them." "Eight actors, two directors and two scriptwriters have been selected to work behind and in front of the camera for it," he adds. Rahul Sharma, vice-president, Brand Solutions, feels that entertainment is moving towards the online arena with social gaming and reality entertainment growing with each passing day. "With people hooked on to the Internet and other social networking sites, certain traditional platforms of entertainment are bound to fade away with the coming of new and exciting initiatives that are taken keeping in mind the latest trends." He adds, "And this initiative is sure to bring about a paradigm change in the Indian reality show scenario. Targeting 60 million netizens, Ibibo I-Serial Star will kickstart a new genre of entertainment. It is for the first time that such a novel idea would be unveiled on the Internet." jasmine@tribunemail.com |

Lunch hour
We have adapted ourselves into believing that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, something that should not be missed at any cost. But then it isn't the only meal of the day we have. With due respect to all nutritionists, diet experts and health columnists of the world, breakfast is taken care of. Lunch, well, it's something we still take for granted. When in school, the only thing that excited us was the recess. Status was decided on the basis of contents of the tiffin box. Maggi was a luxury; sandwich a symbol of the elite. But with changing times the contents have also changed. For some it still holds importance and for others it's just a formality, but the lunch box has definitely changed shape, form and meaning! "While working it's difficult to keep a tab on what you are eating. And the lunch is usually the casualty. But then I make sure I customise my lunch to suit my working hours," says Anuja Sethi, a media professional from the city. Her lunch is usually a working type, with easy grabs like a sandwich or pasta. But then she doesn't sacrifice on nutrition. "My sandwich is stuffed with raw veggies and since a regular chappati with a sabzi is not a workable option always, I try to grab a quick bite by making wraps and rolls out of them," she says. Similarly, for Manisha Nagi, an IT professional, lunch means grabbing a quick bite. "From the dining table, lunch has moved to working table. Something that's convenient, qualifies as lunch. So, I have exchanged my breakfast for lunch and lunch for breakfast." What she means is that she depends on fruits, sprouts or milkshakes for lunch and a heavy dose of Indian 'khana' for breakfast. Even the mommies have to innovate to make the lunch box look attractive for their kids. "It takes a lot of thought to decide the contents of the tiffin box of my son. It has to look good, taste nice and be healthy," says Anju Sethia, a homemaker from Sector 33. "Since kids don't find it easy to have an elaborate lunch, most of the times it's a combination of pasta and vegetables, aloo-chana chaat, sweet rice, sandwiches, something easy to eat." However, still stick to the Indian thali system. "If I don't get it packed from home, I order a proper meal for lunch. I can't compromise on that and finding 10 minutes to enjoy a good meal is no problem for me. Sandwiches and other knick-knacks are just for snacking, but lunch means two or three dishes on my plate," shares Hemant Malik, who works for a telecommunication company. Well, some like it fancy, while some stick to basics, but as long as we are hungry for more, nobody minds! nehawalia@tribunemail.com

Bon Appetit
At first sight, you'll think its a cucumber. At second glance, it could well be a "turaii" that has lost its ridges somewhere along the way. The green, glossy zucchini is a relatively new entrant in our vegetable markets. In Europe it's more known as courgette. Most buyers are skeptical about how to treat this shiny gorgeous looking member of the squash family. It's really quite versatile, making its way into casseroles, stir fries, soups and salads with equal ease. It adapts extremely well to baking, crumb-frying, stewing and being eaten raw in salads.
Even the bright yellow flowers are eaten, stuffed and deep fried as tempura. Ideally, select zucchini that are young, when the seeds are soft and immature. Mature zucchini are often fibrous and not appetising to eat. Zucchini is low in calories and contains useful amounts of iron, potassium, vitamin A and a fair amount of manganese. In countries beyond our borders, zucchini is baked into breads, sugary pies and chocolate cake too! Somehow, I can only treat it like I would a lauki, a cucumber or tinda and no better! Maybe its because it looks too much like a vegetable for it to go into anything sweet! One day I shall overcome this mental block and make a zucchini cake! I promise to keep you posted with the results! Stuffed Mediterranean zucchini 2 large zucchinis 1 tablespoon oil 250 gm sausage meat(or mushrooms) 1 small onion 4 cloves garlic 2 tomatoes ½ teaspoon oregano salt and pepper to taste 1 tablespoon basil ½ cup grated cheese Method
Wash and halve the zucchinis and scoop out the flesh. (They don't need to be peeled, since the skin is very tender and edible.) Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the middle. Chop the removed portion and keep aside. Heat the oil and cook the sausage meat ( or chopped mushrooms). Add chopped onion, and the chopped garlic a few minutes later. Saute till the garlic turns soft and fragrant. Add the chopped core of zucchini and diced tomatoes along with the salt and pepper. Cook till tender, then scatter in the chopped basil. Remove from heat and cool. Stir in half the cheese, then press the mixture into the zucchini "boats". Top with the remaining cheese and bake in a preheated oven (at 400 F) until the zucchinis are tender and the bubbling cheese is golden brown. This should take about 20-25 minutes. Mexican chickpea and zucchini salad ¼ cup dried chickpeas (kaabli chana) 2 small zucchini Cumin seeds(Jeera) Sesame seeds (Til) Juice of 1 lemon Chili powder 1 ½ tbsp olive oil Method Soak the chana overnight and pressure cook with minimal water and salt. ( Do not overcook, or they will lose their identity completely!) Drain. Slice the zucchini into thick strips and place in a wide bowl. Roughly grind the cumin seeds and sprinkle over the zucchini sticks. Add a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Next, add chili powder, the quantity depending on your generosity! Top with a glug of olive oil and sesame seeds. Toss and keep covered for an hour or so. This process of marination will partly tenderize the zucchini. Add the drained chickpeas, toss, and check seasoning. You may serve this salad warm or cold. Note:Personally I don't care for salads which have too many ingredients, but you may further enhance the colour and texture of this dish with the use of bell peppers, sliced onion crescents or cubed paneer.

Melodious note
Negating the general belief that artistes are born and not made, Manimajra-based Uma Patial took to the realm of vocal music at the age of 19, only to excel thereafter.
While still a student at GCG -11, she won the first position in the region and second at the national level at an All-India talent hunt competition in light music organised by Sangam Kala Group. Later, she took to systematic learning under Guru Ram Lal Rathore and Ustad Danish Aslam Khan in Delhi. Now, a post-graduate in music, Uma feels indebted to Professor Ratnika Tewari and Harbinder Singh for sharpening her skills in vocal classical music. Uma not only excels in rendering khayal, thumri and tappa, but also folk, ghazals and film songs. "Our music is simply sublime in character and endowed with spontaneous emotional appeal. While its folk form is forthright and passionate, the classical is deep in meaning but pleasurable provided one has the knowledge to appreciate it," says Uma. She adds, "My riyaz helped me to win medals at the zonal and inter-zonal youth festivals for four years and B-High grading at the All-India Radio, New Delhi." And like any young artiste, she too was tempted to take part in music reality shows. "I fared well, though luck did not smile at me. I could impress the judges but not the SMS god," shares Uma. She adds, "I had to be content being among the first 32 in Indian Idol-3 and 52 in Sa Re Ga Ma in Mumbai. However, I reached the five finalists band of Karam Yudh talent hunt in Awaaz Punjab Di by MH-1 channel. On the home turf I remained first runner-up in the Voice of Chandigarh-2008, which was organised by the administration. I prefer to win the heart of my audience than medals." |

Due to the high content of AHA in fruit extract, the dead cells are removed and rose water soothes the skin, as a result of which the skin looks fresh. The other ingredients such as malic and lactic acid derived from fruit extracts help reducing the ageing process of skin and make the skin look radiant and young. The gel property of the product enables it to stay on skin for a long time thus providing enough time to work on the dead cells and keeping the skin hydrated through out. The cells of the skin die after a certain period subject to various factors such as age, pollution, improper skin care methods and using products that are harsh on the skin. —TNS

Mad Max star Mel Gibson’s anger at ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva may have been caused by “righteous rage”, say experts. According to CNN.com experts said what causes a calm individual to morph into an out of control monster in a traffic jam, may stem from a survival instinct. “It gets into this mentality of kill or be killed,” psychiatrist Dr Tracy Latz was quoted.“Subconsciously, there’s a fear that someone else is going to kill or take power over me,” she said.When this sense of one’s very existence being threatened is paired with a sense of entitlement, ‘righteous rage’, can result, according to clinical psychologist and attorney Robert Goldman. A person may believe he or she deserves something so intensely that he doesn’t see the real situation, and irrational behaviour is the result. “While we live in a world of abundance in our country, it can also create feelings of anger and rage when we get caught up in it,” Goldman said.“We’re not able to step back and see how really lucky and blessed we are,” he added.For a high-octane celebrity like Mel Gibson, that sense of entitlement coupled with a fear that someone could take away his power could have pushed him so far over the edge that he was willing to risk all in order to harm the mother of his baby. — ANI

Diamond mine!
Bollywood actor Bipasha Basu said her boyfriend John Abraham is her diamond supplier, and whatever diamonds she boasts of, are gifted to her by him. She said this at an event to promote a range of branded jewellery in Mumbai on Wednesday.
Talking about her own engagement ring she said that it should not be too big or too small, but just the right size for her finger. “Well the engagement ring, I am hoping comes from the other side. So, I guess it’s the boy who needs to worry,” said Basu. The actress further spoke about her upcoming movie Aakrosh in which she plays a non-glamorous role. “Well Aakrosh is coming up, there is a little bit de glam kind of a role. But when Aakrosh comes up we will discuss that,” added Basu.

Wardrobe bonding
Katie Holmes is smitten with the wardrobe belonging to Jackie Kennedy. The actor can’t stop gushing about the wardrobe belonging to the former First Lady, whom she plays in The History Channel’s upcoming miniseries The Kennedys. “Her clothes were magnificent,” she said.

Age no bar
Hollywood star Cameron Diaz still feels like a 14-year-old boy at heart even though she is rated as one of the world’s most beautiful and successful actresses. Although her life is now completely different, the Knight and Day actress, who shot to fame at the age of 21 when she starred alongside Jim Carrey in The Mask, insists deep down she is still the same person she used to be. “I’ve certainly grown up. I’m much more mature than I used to be. I’m still a 14-year-old boy at heart but my life is totally different to how it was when I was 27,” She said.
The blonde beauty, who has just finished filming Bad Teacher alongside ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake, believes the people who act like jerks when they become famous aren’t necessarily changing, but have always been that way. “I think what happens in Hollywood is that people don’t change much. I feel like people become more who they really are. That’s what fame does - it will only bring out in you what is truly within you,” she added.
“Two things happen when you become famous. One: every door is open to you, so it is your choice to know what your boundary is. Two: you have to be accountable for what you do. You either live right morally in this business or you don’t,” she said.

Die Hard star Bruce Willis has revealed that his wife Emma Heming is the reason behind his happy life. According to the Sun, Willis, 55, who divorced Demi Moore in 2000 after 13 years of marriage, confessed he was “single and unhappy” for 10 years until he met Heming, who he married last year. “I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and this comes after a long period of being kind of lonely, even though I tried to convince myself that I was enjoying my life,” he said. “For much of the last 10 years I was single and unhappy. Now I’m happy all the time. “She’s brought me her incredible spirit and class and beauty and love. Before I met Emma I was very pessimistic about finding that special woman whom I would want to spend my life with. “I thought it would be difficult for someone like me, who is well known, to find a woman who didn’t have an agenda and who just wanted to be with me because they loved me, pure and simple. “With Emma, I knew I had found a woman who didn’t need or want anything from me other than for us to be together and be happy. “But deep down, before that, I wasn’t in a very good place and I didn’t realise that.”What was missing from my life was having a great woman to love and be together with. Now I have that and it’s beautiful. I never want to spend one moment away from her,” he added. — ANI

Former Sri Lankan beauty queen Jacqueline Fernandez is set to be the showstopper at designer Raakesh Agarvwal’s show at the ongoing Pearls Infrastructure Delhi Couture Week and says she is excited to relive her days as a model. The show is scheduled for the concluding day of the couture week Sunday. “It’s great that I am still getting a chance to be on the ramp. That’s one great thing about female actresses here that you can get your little moment on the ramp every now and then. It’s fun to model and I have always enjoyed the modelling experience. I always had a great time doing it and I am totally kicked about it,” Jacqueline says. The 26-year-old, who was crowned Miss Sri Lanka in 2006, loves the hustle bustle of the backstage and the rehearsals. But she is still oblivious about the ensemble she will flaunt on the ramp this time. “I have no idea what I am wearing. I trust Raakesh with my heart. He is a fantastic designer and stylist and I’m glad he has decided to keep my outfit a surprise for me,” she said. Jacqueline, who sported a black and beige knee-length dress for the opening of the second outlet of Dubai-based Landmark Group’s Lifestyle store in the capital Thursday, says her personal style statement is extremely feminine. “I like very feminine stuff like flowing gowns, floral sun dresses and a lot of elegant stuff,” she said. She even loves saris, but laments that she doesn’t know how to tie one. “I cannot drape a sari at all. But when I do wear a sari, it’s for a really special occasion. I save it for very special occasions as I do believe they are stunning outfits. “Practically, the amount of times that I have had to wear a sari, I should have learnt how to tie it by now. I am sure I can still manage if I work hard at it, but I don’t think it would be as good as some of the professional drapers are,” said Jacqueline, who loves designers like Satya Paul, Manav, Sabyasachi Mukherjee and Anamika Khanna’s creations. Jacqueline ventured into Bollywood with “Alladin” alongside Riteish Deshmukh and followed it up with “Jaane Kahaan Se Aayi Hai”. She was also seen in an item song in Sajid Khan’s “Housefull”. She is now awaiting her third full-fledged role in the Hindi film industry. — IANS

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse, reportedly broke down in tears after watching the video of Lindsay Lohan being sent to prison. The 26-year-old singer got really emotional watching the live streaming of Lohan being handcuffed and led away. “Amy was really tearful watching the drama unfold and said, ‘That could have been me!,” a source said. Lohan has been sentenced for two weeks for violating parole of a drunk driving conviction. “It hit her hard that she easily could have ended up behind bars like Lindsay. After she hit a fan for the second time, Amy was only a judge’s decision away from going to the slammer herself. She now realises how out of control she was. She was pretty emotional as she told her dad how grateful she was for his love and thanked him for helping her get back on the straight and narrow,” the source added. Winehouse has a long history of legal troubles. She has been arrested on drug abuse charges and was fined in Norway for possessing cannabis in 2007. “Amy feels really sorry for Lindsay. She’s managed to turn her life around thanks to family and friends but Lindsay seems to have no-one looking out for her. It’s a sad situation,” the source said. — PTI

From six inches above the ground, it's a bad world down there. Callous and unkind, most of the time it's bothered about petty issues like a sequin missing in the sequence, inappropriate colour scheme, improper finishing. The rest of the time it's busy appreciating the design, cut and silhouette. Who has time to spare a thought for the poor feet that introduce fashion to the world?
About the 'pathbreaking' invention of injections, she says, "I would rather bear pain than take help of pain-killers." Anyone walking for a show should take off the heels as soon as it is over. As Krishna advices, "It should be the last thing one should wear before climbing the ramp."
