Sensational Sherlyn
This girl is ready to take risks...and has gone places. Sherlyn Chopra is back from Cannes to roll out Season 6 of MTV Splitsvilla. In Chandigarh, on a hot Saturday noon, Sherlyn, in a ripped jeans, red top and sky high red heels, is in high spirits to co-host the show that gives her a platform to be herself. The show opens with its first official party at Pewter Room in Chandigarh. We hear it from the dare-bare girl!
Playboy bunny Nothing was happening in my life is when I reached out to Hugh Hefner. Playboy has been a life-changer. It made me follow my conscience and give up the lie that I was living my life as! Hugh has huge plans for the release, but the date is not certain as of now. Cannes outing Well in advance before my first Cannes outing, I had prepared myself to answer media queries as there is a huge interest around Kamasutra 3D. Unlike the general perception, it’s not porn movie but a film that addresses an individual’s quest for fundamental living; a story of a beautiful princess looking for a husband and how a person she meets changes her entire being. For my loos at Cannes, I blindly trusted my stylist Reza Shariffi and am satisfied with it (recall the white gold lehanga and black transparent number). Dress code What’s nudity? It’s a state of being. No clothes. How does that address my moral being? I see no connection there. I also do not see a connection between dressing and rapes. Those who blame it on women’s dress sense...do they have an answer for little girls being raped? Helping hand I want to surge ahead as an actress as well as a human being. My website is under change, no more ‘A’ section now; I want to come across not just a pin-up girl but also a serious actress. I want to do my bit for sex workers (she chose to celebrate her birthday with them). Just telling them that there are other ways to lead a life is not enough; I have asked my business manager to find out if we can create work opportunities for them. Bond dream I would love to be a Bond girl someday. I am just crazy about them. They are the hot, no-nonsense girls who don’t speak but when they do...they speak their mind. I will continue to live my life as an open book…it’s my life, my way! One admires Sherlyn for her straightforwardness, her being there out in the open, but when she contradicts herself more than once, one begins to doubt…she clears, “To understand me you have to live my life.” Point taken! mona@tribunemail.com

Out of the box
Something new is what we are all looking for, all the time. Be it IPL in cricket or Bollywood movies or of late, our very own Punjabi flicks.
Sikander, the soon-to-be-released movie produced by Poonam Pawar, sure promises to bring forth something new. Actor Kartar Cheema of Yaar Anmulle and Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya fame plays the lead in the film opposite Gul Panag, who makes her debut in the Punjabi film industry. The team got together in Chandigarh for the music launch on Saturday, talking about something different that Sikander would be offering. Man of the moment It didn’t take actor Kartar Cheema long to realise that acting wasn’t all about showing up on the screen, speaking a few loud dialogues, singing and fighting. “I did many music albums, couple of Hindi movies before I thought I needed to do something different than just throwing punches,” says Kartar, who did theatre from before making a foray into movies. Sikander is a film, which according to the actor, will bring about a change in Punjabi cinema. “At least, we will try to do that. Sikander is a movie that the youth will be able to relate to. It is a movie about mistakes, rights, fighting for them and owning up the responsibility for the decisions we make,” adds the actor. Kartar, who recently appeared on the cover of the Health magazine flaunting his lean body, feels the Punjabi film industry has space for everyone. “The good thing is that many new producers and writers are bringing in the change. I am thankful that the film’s producer Poonam Pawar invested her faith and money in the project.” After winning the best actor in a negative role in Yaar Anmulle, Kartar now wants to give a positive spin to his image. My mother doesn’t like seeing me getting hit by the hero. She thinks I have an equally good body to fight back. Jokes apart, I want to do positive roles,” says Kartar, who has also signed an untitled Hindi movie. Money wise She is camera shy; it is probably the first time that Poonam has so many photographers asking her to look left or right. She smiles, “Producers are also getting attention; it is nice.” Poonam Pawar, who stayed in California for almost sixteen years, makes her debut as a producer with this movie. “I guess I was destined to be a producer,” she says. It wasn’t tough calling the shots and handling finances, but Poonam gives a lot of credit to the associate producer Kartar, who helped her in the project. “A lot of mistakes were made; I was in kindergarten when I started this project, now I think I have graduated,” she quips. jasmine@tribunemail.com

The end result
Like a teardrop on the cheek of time, experience trickles down while leaving one with the wisdom that unfurls the chronicles of one’s expression of self and all that comes along with it. At the launch of his book, And What Remains in the End: The memoirs of an unrepentant civil servant, Robin Gupta pours his intellect in the mould of creativity while substantiating its contents with over 30 years of experience as an IAS officer.
The autobiographical book is a candid revelation of Robin’s life, both personal and professional. Meanwhile, the rather melancholy title of the book finds its justification in the words of its author as he begins, “This book unravels the desiderata of India’s administration while bringing forth its flaws that are masqueraded by a sublime coat of humour, which makes this book a pleasant read. However, I maintain that the undercurrent of this seemingly novelistic read is indeed a trenchant sorrow that laments the administrative failure of our country.” Robin has served across various cities in the country and he makes no qualms about sharing the secrets of the statecraft as he questions the parameters of moral and ethical functioning while pointing rather sharply at the officials and the ministers. “I’m overtaken by the arrowheads of grief when I see that over 50 per cent of our total population is living in poverty. I am harrowed by the dual administrative control that pertains to the nexus between the minister and the secretary. For instance, when the administration hires more than the required number of officials in any department, the government spends a lot of financial expenditure on them while they do not do the required amount of work,” he says. Robin pens down a number of anecdotes in his book, which highlight his disposition, likes and dislikes while adding much humour to the different tales. “I think I have a great sense of being absurd,” he laughs. In his book, Robin mentions a series of experiences while he travelled across various cities, including Kolkata, Delhi, Harayana and Punjab. He also mentions his experiences with the Naxalite-prone West Bengal and his interaction with their leader. It took Robin over two years of strict disciplined writing to complete this book and over a year of editing. And in all humility, he dedicates this book to his mother.

Colours of divinity
Nestled in the embrace of belief and spirituality, the Mahakumbh stands witness to different shades of cultures and traditions, which epitomise the sanctity of the Ganges—a perennial source of sacred redemption. Advocating the divinity of this pristine festival while celebrating the sprit of humanity, three city artists, Gurpreet Singh, Shubh Mohan Singh and Vijendra Trighatia, exhibited their works on the Colours of Mahakumbh a photography exhibition at the Punjab Kala Bhawan-16, on Friday.
Expression of divinity
“Well, we initiated a trip to the Mahakumbh at Allahabad for the cause of photography, for we wanted to capture the essence of this festival that takes place only once in 12 years,” says Gurpreet Singh, while pointing towards his photographs, most of which were the portraits of sadhus and pilgrims. “These photographs have been taken on the Mauni Amavasya, which is considered to be very auspicious for all the devotees to perform the shaahi sanaan. The venue accommodated the gathering of as many as 4 crore visitors from India and abroad,” he adds. Different shades of spirituality converge as you take a look at a few of his paintings, where he depicts the holy men, including the naga sadhus, pilgrims and other sadhus meditating on the Sangam ghat. “I love street photography and this place gave me a lot of creative avenues. Also, the way administration managed the programme was commendable,” he says. On spiritual shores Shubh Mohan Singh, who attempts to capture the banks of the Ganges and Arail ghat, uses his old lens to behold the serene yet steady pontoon bridges, where the pilgrims travel in one direction. “There were as many as 16 of these temporary bridges and they were anchored to the weights that were tied with the ropes. I have also tried to capture the railways here,” he says while pointing towards a photograph, the contents of which was the image of a train going to Varanasi through the rail bridge that was built over the Ganges. Meanwhile, he also clicked the naga babas smoking chillums, the evening at the Sangam Ghat and portraits of several pilgrims. Interestingly, he managed to click the coconut scavengers as he explains the logic behind, “The coconut scavengers drop by on the shores of Sangam in the evening to pick up coconuts that are later sold in the market again, what an attempt at coconut recycling” he quips. Amidst the babas As Vijendra Trighatia employs his creative sensibilities to extend an artistic vision to the Mahakumbh Mela, he makes the naga babas, a cynosure to celebrate the sprit of this holy festival. “You see, the
naga babas can be a little erratic, so one has to keep at bay while clicking them, for you never know what frame of mind they are in,” he says. Vijendra also highlights the paradox at the mela while zooming in at the group of pilgrims who walked through the journey barefoot and pitches them against the stark background where the well-to-do drove in their cars, “When I spoke to these pilgrims, I learnt that they had walked 30 kms and the smile on their faces spoke volumes about their faith,” he says.

Play full!
Life is nothing less than a rollercoaster, but we adapt to it soon. Well, at least some of us do. Our heart, though, still wanders on the countless possibilities of what could have been or what is waiting on the other side if we let ourselves free! On the same lines was the play Partir (Leaving) presented by the troupe ThéâtrAmaYur at Café Theatre, Alliance Française, Sector 36.
The play asks many questions; what matters is, are you ready to contemplate? Before we continue, we talk to the people behind the exemplary performance. Centre for French and Francophone Studies of JNU opened a theatre workshop last year for the students, who then founded the troupe ThéâtrAmaYur. The play is a collective creation on the topic of wandering and exile inspired by the works of three francophone Belgian writers (Henry Bauchau, Marguerite Yourcenar, Henri Michaux) and its written, directed and interpreted by eleven students of the troupe along with Julie David, professor of French at JNU. The language used in the show is mainly French with a blend of English and Hindi. The story revolves around two characters—an Indian boy who goes to France and a French girl who comes to India in search of a new life. Says Julie, “You see how it all goes crazy. Clearly we can all connect and it does usually happen if you’re not satisfied with the life you’re living. One might have many dreams and expectations, which may or may not come true. It might also be disheartening when reality strikes but I guess you can only know if you go about doing what you want to do rather than just wandering because that causes much anxiety too.” Theatre, according to Julie, plays a major role in displaying what you probably can’t explain otherwise through a story. The addition of subtle comedy connects with people although it still reflects a serious undercurrent. Julie adds, “It’s actually a fantastic way to bring some exposure for the students as well as the audience.” As for the future, Julie remarks, “More of such topic needs to be brought up; we hope to expand and take the play to an international level.”

In the web of matrimony
The wedding market in our country is huge. Right from finding the match to elaborate ceremonies, there are countless things that come into play. And, catering to those is Lagana
Mandap. With two websites www.laganamandap.com and www.secondinningz.com, this site lets you choose a prospective spouse based on criteria way more than just religion and community. "Matrimonial advertisements in papers have done well in the past. A site offers much more," says Aman, who has specially designed a separate site for divorcees, widows and widowers, looking forward to settling down once again. The biggest challenge, however, for any matrimony portal is to tackle fake profiles. For this Aman has put filters at different steps. "Right from identity proof to the number and pictures, we screen at different steps," puts in Aman. The rates for the service are nominal to begin with. So you can get a gold membership for as less as Rs 99 for a month and comes with features to chat and more. Coming from a business background, Aman is positive of making a mark in this venture. "Not only we are aiming at a huge database but our site is extremely user-friendly. It's as simple as to login, surf and express to reach the match you are looking for!"

Right angle
Three days, three artists with three different themes made for an apt title, Triangle, displaying the work of the three students of Government College of Art-10. At Tagore Theatre-18, the artistes shared their take on art.
Orange hue In an attempt to find himself, Pramod Prasad strives to establish a connection between the nature and himself. He uses orange colour in liberal amount for his paintings. “It’s all about how you perceive the world from within--the childhood desires, the purity of expression and the beauty inside.” Apart from that he has displayed the geography of his native state Kerala and the law of attraction depicting the difference between two people belonging to different land in a diptych, triptych and polyptych fashion. It’s not an abstraction, you can call it a distortion,” he smiles. Medium: Charcoal, oil paint Price: Rs 4,000 up to Rs 50,000 City-centric Hailing form Uttar Pradesh, Garima Aggarwal is influenced enough by the architecture of Chandigarh. She captures the landmarks of city. The use of vibrant colours adds to the cheerful mood matching to that of the city. “While I love to travel and the city has intrigued me. I am deeply inspired by the Swiss Architech Le Corbusier; and the grids of the city are reflected in my works.” Medium: Acrylic and oil Price: Rs 20,000 up to Rs 40,000 Benny VJ “Everything in life works in a systematic way. When we talk about expression, it works the same way. However, the words are too less to express those heart-felt emotions,” says another artist from Kerala, Benny VJ, who had much trouble learning the language of the city. His painting ‘Space’ reflects his state of mind. What catches our attention is the use of abstract forms that he blends with elements of nature. The use of historical elements adds the rustic charm to his otherwise contemporary work. Medium: Oil paint & dry pastels Price: Rs 4,000 up to Rs 30,000

How Katrina keeps cool
Come hail, rain, or sunshine, Katrina Kaif looks as gorgeous as ever! The stunning and sexy lass shares tips about how to keep cool and stay pretty in the sweltering summer of Indian cities. Sun shade What would I do without a sunscreen? It is a life-saver for me! I never step out without it. It makes a huge difference to my skin by protecting it from the harsh heat. It is a good idea to keep splashing your face with water every hour and washing it with face wash once or twice a day. Dressing sense I do not dress according to the weather and I wear what I feel comfortable in. I feel colder than the normal person and I like warm weather and sunshine. I like wearing light-coloured fabrics in the summer and would ask other people to do the same. Food wise I eat a lot of fresh and watery fruits and veggies and sip on buttermilk, juices, nimbu pani and coconut water. It does wonders for the skin and energy levels. I avoid outside food that is too oily, salty, fried, and spicy. Such foods are bad for the skin and show up instantly as acne or pimples. No fuss I do not mess with my hair much during the summer and just use a good shampoo with conditioner that suits my hair. I avoid styling it too much and using hair dryers and heat styling tools, unless absolutely necessary. Fool proof It is so hot and humid or hot and dry depending on where you are in India that waterproof make-up is a must! Try using water-based make-up instead of cream based and for now, lipsticks and kajal pencils work best.
Learning curve
Preity Zinta has done 36 films and she feels that she has learnt more while making Ishkq in Paris than working in all these films put together. It has been a long and tough journey for her and she is happy that the film has finally released and her work is being appreciated.
Saving grace
We are so happy that Ameesha Patel played safe with Manish Malhotra at the Cannes Film Festival and dressed better than she usually does, covering her assets and looking slightly classy. After Cannes, the Shortcut Romeo team will fly to New York and London for promotions of their film.
Music addict
Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 actress Kristina Akheeva is addicted to music. At the moment, she is addicted to Aashiqui 2s album with Tum Hi Ho being her favourite song and she also adores Beyonce because she has a beautiful voice and is a powerful performer.
Here come the blockbusters
Baubles for Bebo
Kareena Kapoor Khan likes her baubles and prefers them over cars. Husband Saif Ali Khan recently bought a luxury car and clarified it was not for Kareena because she loves diamonds and would spend crores of rupees on them but not on cars.
Mental case!
Salman Khan's Mental actress Sana Khan is on a run from Mumbai police after she was accused of attempting to kidnap a 15 year-old minor girl. Sana tried to kidnap the girl to teach her a lesson because she has rejected Sana's cousin Naved's marriage proposal. Sana's cousin Naved and three of his friends were arrested in this kidnapping case but later they were released on bail.
The case was registered when the minor girl's parents moved to the police station alleging that on April 30, Sana with her cousin Naved and his friends Kshitij, Vismit and another person went to Sampada and forced her to seat in the car. The girl, however, managed to escape from the four abductors. Her mother lodged a complaint at the Turbhe police station. Naved and his three friends were arrested and released on bail but Sana is on the run. Police is not yet able to trace her. The police went to Sana's Oshiwara house but her house was locked. She was even absent from the shooting of Salman Khan's film Mental. Naved fell
for Sampada last year through social networking site and when he proposed marriage, she refused. Sana Khan participated
in the reality show, Bigg Boss and during the show, she caught Salman's attention and Sallu offered her Mental.
Akshay injured
Actor Akshay Kumar met with an accident while shooting for the Hindi remake of the Tamil film, Thuppakki. According to reports, a tow truck drove over the actor's foot on the sets of the Vipul Shah production, which is tentatively titled Pistol.
Confirming the same, Kumar tweeted: 'Ha!! Spoke too soon, had a nasty accident on set & got run over by a tow truck :( Im ok, but my foot got crushed again!!' Akshay was busy shooting for an action sequence and didn't notice that the truck was moving towards him and it moved over his feet. Luckily, none of the bones on Akshay's feet were broken, only muscle tissues were damaged. Get well soon, Akshay! truck load: Akshay Kumar
Sonakshi happy with her image
Sonakshi Sinha is not complaining about her Indian girl image as it has worked for her. She talks about her image, weight issues, and more.
Fitness level I am very happy with my Indian girl image. I am a regular Indian girl with a regular Indian body type and I feel Indian women are pretty. I get distressed when I read about actresses being discriminated against because of their weight. My image has worked for me because I have done 10 films in less than three years so I must be doing something right. I work out and eat well, so I am taking care of myself. I dress according to my comfort levels and need of the hour. Wacky titles I know my films have wacky titles and my favourite one is Rowdy Rathore. I have done a good mix of commercial, larger-than-life films and down-to-earth, emotional films like Lootera. I am lucky to have worked with veterans like Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar already and I get to learn so much from their experience. Me time There is no 'me time' for me as I have been working round-the-clock. I went on a week-long vacation a while ago otherwise sleeping is my 'me time'. I am happy to be working because this is my time and I must make the most of it. I feel weird if I am not on a film and I cannot sit idle. I love acting and dancing in movies and promoting them too. comfy zone

Comeback girl Neha
Neha Marda made a comeback with the role of Vrinda in Mahadev. The actor who became popular post her role as the fiery Gehna in Balika Vadhu says this was a good choice although the role is a cameo. How is the response to Mahadev? Being part of such a popular show has been phenomenal. The response has been great and this role will last for one or two more weeks I think. As this show is very popular, it has been a good choice to make a comeback post marriage. Have you signed another show as lead? Yes, I had signed Pratigya Season 2, but while I was waiting for it to begin I got Mahadev. Of course, the makers wanted me to wait. Now lets see how things progress. So are you in or out? I don't know. I haven't had a discussion with the people I was in talks with. What do your in-laws feel about you acting? They are very supportive. They encouraged me to return to work once I was back in Mumbai. For almost a year after marriage my husband and I were travelling around the world as well as in India, so once we settled down we decided that I should go back to work. Are you in touch with Balika Vadhu cast? Yes, I am in constant touch with Pratyusha and Smita. We meet often.

IPL problem for show!
Mouni Roy, who is currently seen in Junoon-Aisi Nafrat Toh Kaisa Ishq, is happy being part of the show. She said, "I'm very happy with show. Soon, we will complete a year and the journey has been very satisfying. Initially when the show was launched, we used to shoot in the scorching heat in Jodhpur and at the end of the day look like black-complexioned farmers (giggles). I am lucky to play Meera and am sure you won't get to see such a kind of role on Indian television today."
However, the show is not managing to garner much TRP, but Roy blames IPL for it. "A lot should be done on the TRP front. There is not an iota of doubt that the show has a different concept and a very powerful storyline. But I think, due to the soft launch of the serial and less of promotion, it did not do well. And currently, mostly all the shows are suffering due the ongoing IPL (Indian Premier League)," she observed.
Best foot forward
Whether it was Hirithik Roshan, David Dhawan, Preity Zinta, Ayushman Khurana, Juhi Chawla or Arjun Kapoor, the little actors on India's Best Dramebaaz have left the biggest Bollywood stars in the awe of their sheer versatility and utter cuteness! The grand finale of India's biggest acting talent hunt show will showcase a glorious extravaganza of acting and dance at 8 pm on Saturday. Adding to the excitement of the evening, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone graced the finale to promote their upcoming film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.
At the finale, Nihar and Gracy had Ranbir on their feet as they put on an adorable act to prove that they are miniature versions of Deepika and Ranbir themselves! Ranbir and Deepika sent the crowd into a tizzy as they joined the contestants to perform on the songs of their film. Badtameez Dil and Balam Pichkaari were the anthems of the evening as all of the Top 16 joined the judges, Ranbir and Deepika while they danced on stage! Deepika seemed have taken quiet well to Nihar, who was cutely dressed up in just a little towel like mini Ranbir. The highlight was when Ranbir and Deepika paid tribute to Hindi cinema by enacting the Raj Kapoor and Nargis classic, Pyaar hua ikraar hua under the umberella and decided to re-enact it with the mini versions— Nihar and Gracy!
Ankita returns to Pavitra Rishta
The stage is finally set for Ankita Lokhande's return to Zee TV's Pavitra Rishta (Balaji Telefilms). Sources inform us that Ankita has started shooting for Pavitra. Since Ekta Kapoor is out in the US for her studies, she had finalised the track way back before she left.
