Young crusaders
New Year's first month reinforced the belief that you need to have connections in Bollywood to be a part of the industry. While Sunil Darshan launched his son Shiv Darshan, Shekhar Suman re-launched Adhyayan Suman…merit matters, but that only comes under the scanner once you are introduced. In this scenario, when there comes a film like Babloo Happy Hai, with all new faces that don't have any connections to boast of in their résumé, you wonder if the rules are being re-written! Sahil Anand, Sumit Suri and Preet Kamal, who were in Chandigarh to promote their film on Tuesday, talk about the industry and how it's a battle not even half won yet.
Diligent student He is lucky to have started his career with Student Of The Year, post his Roadies outing. In-between the two, he took auditions one after the other; he doesn't remember the count now. "The industry welcomes talent and appreciates hardwork, but you need have a lot of patience. Results don't come immediately, as is the case with kids of stars." Sahil sums up his experience of working with Karan Johar, who introduced him first, as rewarding. "This film is the result of having worked with him, otherwise to get a lead role was a distant dream." Now that people know him as an actor, he wants to do films that promise a script and not just a budget; he wants audiences to appreciate him and not be rated by critics. "I am disillusioned with critics. In Mumbai, the most popular ones also don't rate the films fairly. For example, a youth-oriented film that released two weeks back was given four stars whereas it was one of the worst films in recent times." Coming to his role in the film, something he feels youngsters will be able to relate to, Sahil plays a character who is confused about love. Besides he is also working on his other two films —Bang Bang Bangkok and Love Day. "I have to give my best to every film because I know there is nobody to re-launch me," he signs off.
Big boost Two films old, Sumit Suri is expecting that Babloo Happy Hai will give a much-needed boost to his career. His earlier Bollywood outings, Warning and What the Fish, failed to create a buzz at the box-office. The real hope, something he feels will lift his career graph, lies with Surkhab, a film that has already won critical acclaim and award for the Best Foreign Film at the London International Film Festival. "I am playing an ambitious boy, whose life changes after he migrates to Toronto." Film festivals, he thinks, are the appropriate way to introduce people to different cinema. He quotes the examples of BA Pass, Lunchbox and Miss Lovely, which hit the screens via international festivals and appealed to the audience. "Festival outings add to the credibility of the film and even to that of the actors, who are a part of it." Sumit has worked before as an assistant director and is happy to have switched the role.
Wise words Before enrolling herself for an acting course in Mumbai, Preet Kamal finished her MBA in UK, a decision she says was wise. "I have dreams of becoming a successful actor, but at the same time I know the reality that heroines have a short shelf life. Even for that, an actress should have a successful run for ten years." That's wise indeed! ashima@tribunemail.com

On a musical note
Most musicians take a while to find favour with the masses. On the other hand, there are a few who click instantly by the plain virtue of their talent. Jazzy B falls in the latter category. Being one of the most celebrated Punjabi singers, he is now exploring different facets of creativity but not at the cost of his intrinsic style. As he ventures into Punjabi cinema as an actor, we catch up with him to find more.
You have sung the title track of the movie Shaadi Ke Side Effects. How did that come your way? Well, this offer caught me unaware and it was only when Pritam, the music director of the film, rang me up that I knew that he wanted me to sing the title track. He wanted to have a Punjabi feel to the song. It is a very peppy one; it borders on the eccentricities of being a bachelor and then getting married. Punjabi music is getting really popular in Bollywood. What do you have to say about that? I think it is great that Bollywood is recognising Punjabi music and artistes. It gives us a huge set of audience because Bollywood is watched as well as loved by a majority of people across India, Pakistan and abroad. It adds to our popularity. The album culture has now been replaced by online world. What do you feel about it? It’s a shame to see the album culture fade away. We would record as many as eight songs for an album, but now there are no companies that do that because it does not pay off the production cost. Also, it takes me as much as Rs 20-25 lakh to make one song; so the album culture was better. Are you now venturing into Punjabi movies? I am actually shooting for a film called Rambo Ranjha, which has been directed by Manmeet Singh. It is an out-an-out action film and I am acting with Garry Sandhu. So in the film, I am the Rambo while Garry is the Ranjha (laughs)! What’s next in store for you? I will be coming up with a single titled Singhan di Gaddi very soon. I am also working on an
album. amarjot@tribunemail.com

In the act
A sheer stroke of luck brought Keeya Khanna from Mumbai, where she was doing theatre, to Punjabi films. Now that she is here, this beauty wants to try her luck a little more. “I want the industry to know that I have arrived and hopefully can change certain things,” she says. Keeya, with three films in her kitty, is indeed quite upbeat about the future.
The story goes back to the days of theatre. “I was doing a play, Mitro Marjaani, when a director noticed me. This is how things started rolling,” adds Keeya, currently shooting for Punjabiyan da king opposite Navraj Hans. When in Punjab do like the Punjabis do — which means eat! “I have been doing that a lot, but since I am an actress I have to take care of my diet.” Keeya has fed herself on the Punjabi movies diet; the last one she watched was Jatt & Juliet and she’s glad to have landed here at the right time. “I always feel that anything in the developing phase is good because it allows you to grow as well, which is why I feel it is good to be in Punjabi cinema right now,” she adds. If she knows quite a bit about the industry, we bet she is also aware of the kind of roles cut out for actresses in Punjabi movies. “I can’t comment on anyone; whatever roles I have done till date have been very substantial and important to the story. I have been lucky again,” she says with a puckish grin. If you thought diction is a problem here, Keeya can amaze you by interacting in pure desi Punjabi. “My grandmother was a sardarni; I can speak good Punjabi.” Living outside the suitcase, shooting in Punjab, Keeya is having all the fun. “How lucky,” she laughs. jasmine@tribunemail.com

Try, try again
More than a shot at things, it takes a thought on things to survive through the intense emotion of rejection and a long phase of struggle. Just a couple of feelings singer Ritu Pathak lived with for a long time.
“I auditioned, got the selection letter but somehow never made it to the final episodes of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa,” she says. Just out with her song Gandi Baat, she looks back at a journey that started at the age of four from a small town of Madhya Pradesh. How much ever prepared, a break into the world of Bollywood playback singing needs a lot of things in place! It needs hard work, money, contacts and a Godfather. Indian Idol 2 happened and not without its fair share of struggle. “I auditioned for the show in 2007. Before that I wasn’t even aware of it, because at home we didn’t get the channel broadcasting the show…Once aware, I would go to somebody’s place to watch it.” Auditions at Lucknow translated into a national platform, which didn’t last for long. “I was eliminated during earlier rounds itself… At the time, it felt like a huge set back. My platform itself was taken away from me.” Now with songs like Jalebi Bai, Papa Jag Jayega, Race 2 title track, Jyun Duriyan from Players, sitting pretty in her resume, she recalls of what it takes to survive. Finally after a long phase spent shuttling between hometown and Mumbai, “things started to change when I finally got a call from one of the judges of reality show I participated in on SAB TV…I started by struggling for numbers of music directors.” Among the current crop, there are some favourites too but these are few and far between. “I quite like Sunidhi Chauhan and Shreya Ghoshal. They both have their own style.” She adds, “I love all the songs by Adele and Lata Mangeshkar is my idol. In fact I learnt singing only listening to her songs.” An industry dictated by the music director and the script, there’s very little leeway to show your raw talent or evolve your own style. “I’d like to cut an album someday because only an album gives you complete creative liberty to depict your true singing.” A couple of things overlap with every singer’s wish list. “Like everybody else, I want to work with AR Rahman.” manpriya@tribunemail.com

A shade under
Pale blue and pale yellow with white accents will be the colours for prêt and couture Ashima Batish
What’s in
There is a definite shift in embroidery. It's now more delicate and light. In fact, stones and heavy embellishments have made way for thread embroideries, strictly in cotton threads. While a lot of designers might claim that Anarkalis are out, but they still are the quintessential ethnic couture wear and will rule in the coming season as well, with subtle changes. The pleats will begin from the shoulder, accentuating slender figures and creating illusion of height. What's out
Polyester nets are out and so is polyester lace. Cotton lace will still be in. People have developed a liking for organic fabrics or anything that has the Indian tag attached to it. Thus, we will see people giving up georgettes and taking to khadi instead.
Neons are powdered down to paler shades. Pale blue, pale yellow, blush, grey with white accents will be the colours for prêt and couture. Later in the year, orange will make a comeback again. Party couture
Nothing looks better than a well-draped saree at any occasion. Pick a solid colour and one is good for a party. Leading in design
I admire works of Bibhu Mohapatra. He is one of the most successful designers of present times. From a small town in Orissa to New York, he has come far. Dressed to the nines
On the Indian fashion industry
The market has become a very difficult place, where you not only need to have your design sensibilities in place, but also your marketing skills. You have to follow the market diktat to do well in the Indian market but unfortunately, there is nobody to guide the young designers.

C for yourself
Dr Vikas Sharma The right concentration of vitamin C can do wonders to your skin Did you take or apply your vitamin rich supplement today?
To find the right supplement, one needs to check the percentage and type of vitamins included in the products as numerous topical formulations contain very low concentrations of antioxidants that are not well absorbed by the skin. Why vitamin C? The recommended daily intake of Vitamin C for adults is about 90mg per day but some people are so seduced by the idea that Vitamin C supplements help protect them against skin and hair disorders that they happily pop one, two or even more a day - and feel guilty if they forget to do so. The oral supplementation with vitamin C is not very effective at increasing skin concentrations of vitamin C because its absorption is limited by active transport mechanisms in the gut. In addition an overdose of Vitamin C can cause numerous gastrointestinal disorders. In fact, applying vitamin C in form of serum to the skin is 20 times more effective than oral ingestion. Glowing result
What does the application of vitamin C cream or serum do?
When starting out with a vitamin C cream, it's a good idea to gradually increase usage by starting off with the cream that has a lower vitamin C concentration. You can start with a vitamin C serum that has a 10 per cent concentration, and as your skin gets used to it, you can increase to 15-20 per cent range. How to apply
After you've chosen a vitamin C serum, it is important that you use it right. Correct method of application will definitely increase the effectiveness.

When dream comes true
Jasmine Singh Every passing day brings him closer to his dream, a dream that he had seen with his open eyes. Punjabi singer-actor Jassi Gill knew just one thing--not to give up on his dream. The hard work, patience and perseverance paid and now the singer is belting one hit after another. With Lancer, Pyar Mera, this youngster, who carries his heart on his sleeve, is climbing the popularity chart. He also makes his Pollywood debut with Mr And Mrs 420, which he says is going to be a full-on entertainment. It is not difficult to get Jassi started, and the singer sure knows his answers well! I am a singer actor I would always want to be known as a singer first. That is my first love. Acting came later in the scheme of things. If I could collaborate Amrinder Gill and Feroze Khan are the two singers I would like to collaborate with. Both have an interesting style that will only add volumes to my singing. The practice session I would be honest, I don't get time to practice. So, whatever practice I do is with my live shows. One show after the other keeps vocal chords in action. The best show I did a live show at Toronto last year. I have never seen such a huge gathering in my entire life. It was indeed the best show of my life! The first few days in January last year were the happiest. Embarrassing moment I only remember good things. All the same, if for some reason I don't perform well, I don't feel that great and that very night I am sleepless! Fitness calling I do a lot of running, as and when I can. I don't get time to hit the gym. Running is something I make sure I do keep up with. Five minutes before getting on the stage... I remember God, and ask him to keep a watch on me. The actors I would love to work with… Undoubtedly Aamir Khan! I like his acting and how he functions, a film or two in a year. Ideally, I would like to do the same, be selective and good with my films. Success mantra There is no substitute to hard work. When I dreamt of being a singer, I didn't know if that was possible. I only knew that I would work hard for it. So, today I know there is no replacement for hard work. It always pays. My happiest moment When my song Lancer did amazingly well!

Viva Mexicana!
Kandla Nijhowne Mexican food has a spiciness which we can instantly fall in love with. It has heat from chillies which we seldom see in most cuisines and our favourite cumin (jeera) for aroma and zing. It simplifies cooking Mexican food if you prepare a taco-mix at home and keep it handy at all times. It can be packed into a jar and pushed into a fridge shelf for as long as one year. Later, it can turn out excellent casseroles, burritos, tacos and enchiladas. Dried onion flakes and garlic powder are easily available in our supermarkets. If paprika is difficult to obtain, use a little degi mirch for the deep red colour. I shall follow up with some quick and easy Mexican fare in my forthcoming columns ! If the taco mix lies ready, waiting in the wings, the processing of any Mexican dish is a wink!
Homemade Texan taco mix
Method Mix all the ingredients together and store in a clean dry jar. Quick Mexican salad
Method Toss together all the ingredients. Do not add too much salt at the beginning. The taco mix already has a fair amount. Chill and serve. (Nijhowne is a Chandigarh-based
culinary expert)

He asked me “Can you sleep easily?” a little surprised and wary I asked him, “Alone or with someone?” he looked at me and said “No no, can you just sleep anywhere anytime?” I said “Yes, I can sleep standing also,” he said “Good then, you can become an actor,” said Tisca. The book is a guide for all those who want to become actors.
Fiery rapid fire
Emraan Hashmi has clearly had the best rapid fire round on all four seasons of Koffee with Karan. He won the hamper. He said that his worst on-screen kiss was with Mallika Sherawat and best with Jacqueline Fernandez. Honestly speaking, we still can't stop giggling at Emraan's comments.

Gang of girls
Newcomer Saumik Sen has directed Juhi Chawla and Madhuri Dixit in the upcoming and long-awaited Gulaab Gang. He talks about why he chose to make the movie. Madhuri vs Juhi
In most action films, the most powerful roles are essayed by men while the women play the girlfriend or the wife. Here it is the reverse—here it is Madhuri Dixit versus Juhi Chawla. And the men play brother and father! Somebody said that I am the male Zoya Akhtar because she made the male-oriented Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, which is a huge compliment. Success story
It is a story about two successful women: one (played by Juhi Chawla) is a politician and the other (played by Madhuri Dixit) runs a self-help ashram of weavers. This is not Mrityudand or an uprising against men. It is not an art film; it is a clutter-breaking project. Battle of power
No, they don’t have a hand-to-hand combat. There is no Uma Thurman vs Daryl Hannah sword-fight (a la Kill Bill). It is a battle of power. Action to me is just an extension of dance. I didn’t want body doubles for any action sequence. I had met other actresses who didn’t want to do action sequences but fortunately my choices proved right.

Alia nervous about Highway
Alia Bhatt talks about being nervous about Highway and the people she worked with on the movie. Fingers crossed
I, being one-film-old, my film will not get good opening or a good weekend. If it's a good film and audience can relate to it, its honesty and sincerity, they will watch it. But if they cannot see that, it will flop. Today a good film does well regardless of its genre. Changing scenario
Films like Shahid, BA Pass got a lot of appreciation. Things are changing now, people are accepting good cinema. The word of mouth publicity plays an important role today for non-commercial films. It takes time for such (non-massy) films to do well...it is a gamble. No confidence
I am not confident at all. My confidence level is zero. I think it will be for every film. It is probably more for Highway because it is a different kind of film. I am scared. During the making of the film, which was a little stressful, I did not feel like giving up. I was wondering, “How am I still doing it?” I was proud of myself. I really pushed myself a lot, physically and emotionally. Knowing Imtiaz
He is a very pure soul. Whether it is his intensity, dedication or passion towards his work, everything is there. He is what he is, there is no fuss or anything fake. That is what I love about him. Unusual pairing
The unusual pairing of Randeep and I was intentionally done. Randeep is a buddy and it was fun working with him on such a unique film.

In two minds
While Ajaz Khan has been approached for Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi, he is in two minds about accepting it. He doesn't want the audiences to get the same Bigg Boss 7 déjà vu as Gauahar Khan too is part of the show. Earlier, Kushal Tandon too was in but due to his shoulder injury he won't be doing the show.
Second innings
Aamir Khan's chat show Sataymev Jayate will be back on the TV screens soon. The second season will air on March 2. In a new, recently released promo the channel announced the same. The show that touched upon many burning issues will this time highlight people who think about the country, says the tagline of the show.
It’s party time
Reality TV star Kendall Jenner is reportedly planning to take rumoured boyfriend Harry Styles on a romantic holiday to celebrate his 20th birthday. Jenner, 18, allegedly wants to treat the One Direction star, who will turn 20 on February 1, to a birthday surprise. "Kendall's dad has a beautiful cliff-top holiday home in Big Sur, California, and she has asked if she and Harry can use the mansion for a private break together. "She wants them to have some time alone where they can relax and enjoy each other's company. Harry already has everything he wants, so she decided to organise something special they can always remember," a source said. Jenner, who is said to be dating the Little Things singer for around two months, is also helping his close friend Nick Grimshaw organise a birthday party in London. "Kendall is in charge of organising the party, alongside Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw. She wanted the party to be in London so that Harry's friends and family could all be there. The rest of One Direction and a whole host of other celebs will be on the guest list," the source added.

The end is near
Detective thriller, Star Plus' Arjun will now end its run on television. Star Plus now plans to air all their shows, six times a week once, once Nach Baliye Season 6 ends. Apparently, Arjun's team hasn't got a notice about it going
off-air.
Blast from the past
Rishina Kandhari, who was last seen in Khelti Hai Zindagi Aakh Micholi, is all set to enter Uttaran. According to the ongoing track, the story will go in a flashback where Rathore (Gaurav Chopra) will be with his first wife Malvika (Rishina Kandhari). Rishina says, "I am playing Gaurav Chopra's first wife from the past. I would be seen as Malvika. It's surely a good feeling to be a part of a popular show like
Uttaran"
Good motives
Keith Sequeira will be the new entry in Shashi-Sumeet Production's popular show Diya Aur Baati Hum on Star Plus. He will be seen in the role of Roy, who motivates Sandhya (Deepika Singh) during her training at the police academy. Keith's role is modelled on SRK's in Chak De India.
Show time for Sunil
Finally the timing of Sunil Grover's show has been locked. The comedy show called Mad in India will replace Nach Baliye Season 6 when it ends this weekend. The format of the show will be like Saturday Night Live, with many comedians and actors.

Cool & collected
Pretty and talented Mansi Salve, who has quit her hit show Pyaar Ka Dard, is feeling a bit sad. The actress talks about her fitness regimen and style statement.
How are you feeling about leaving Pyaar Ka
Dard? I don't know what's going to happen. As an actor, it is great to play the role of Avantika but I want to do more. Sometimes it's no one's fault, but things do not go well; there is no ill feeling between the Rajshris and me. On the show, your clothes became a style statement. Who do you give the credit to? The credit goes to designer Ritu
Deora, my stylist Kriti Bapna and jewellery designer Mansi Manoj. They all helped me get the look together. On television when the look of an actor has to be changed, there are many approvals needed. But on this show, I was given the freedom to choose, change patterns and even cut my hair if needed. What else keeps you busy? Right now my books and workouts! My six-year-old daughter too keeps me busy, as does taking care of the house. In fact, when I have a day off I am more tired than on days when I shoot. Are there any films in the offing - Hindi or Marathi? Nothing as of now; I am waiting for a good opportunity. So what's next? I am going to take it easy. Sometimes you need time to think and plan what you want to do. Actors need time off, especially on TV, as we don't have the luxury of taking time off. —
