Written in red
If the recent Red Carpet outing of Ranveer Singh in a printed Louis Vuitton suit is anything to go by, he is all-eager to rewrite rules of dressing up at events that matter. Review the recent awards and you wonder why it is only women who bring glamour to the Red Carpet, while men stick to the usual grey, black and blue suits when there is no formal dress code to be followed!
From Ranveer's contemporaries, new-found best friend Arjun Kapoor to industry's ever-favourite Salman Khan, actors are sticking to the gentleman's attire. Is it time to experiment or should the Red Carpet be reserved for serious dressing up, for at least men? Or aren't there enough options that are as formal and classy as a tuxedo or a three- piece suit? Internationally also at the Red Carpet affairs, it is strictly women who make news for their choice of attire, labels, hair-dos and accessories. Men, however, are only appreciated for their work on the screen. Drawing a parallel, designer Gaurav Gupta, a favourite with actresses for the Red Carpet events, says Indian men still have a lot to choose from in comparison to the West. "From bandhgala to kurtas to dhoti pants to colours that falls outside the men's colours palate, the options are ample but to try something exciting on the Red Carpet should be a much-thought out decision. It should be in tandem with the personality of the wearer and in that case, Ranveer Singh fits the bill." Of all others, Gaurav also liked Farhan Akhtar's turn out at the Screen Awards in a velvet greenish blue half sleeve jacket worn with a white short shirt and light grey semi-Jodhpuri trousers. While men are into experiments, they are doing it very subtly and aren't going overboard. "I like the way Rahul Khanna dresses up. He wore a polka dotted bow tie and that did the trick." Indian fashion designers have been presenting a lot of androgynous designs on the ramp. Bright colours dominate their collections as well, especially the ones presented at couture fashion weeks but the same have not been sent down the Red Carpet. Take Troy Costa for example. His collection at the India Bridal Fashion Week even included an orange shirt teamed up with a paisley printed blazer. However, when it came to styling Irfan Khan for Toronto International Film Festival or Siddhant Kapoor (Shakti Kapoor's son) for Cannes, he tailored for them a black suit, white shirt and a black bow tie. Says Troy, "Red Carpet is not the platform to experiment; if you consider similar events in the West, they don't even pick a different-coloured bow-tie. It's a formal occasion, where men look the best in a three-piece and women in gowns or sarees." As for the one off change introduced by Ranveer Singh, he terms it as most inappropriate. "You can't be dressed up like a joker for an event like this. The same goes for actresses who walk down the Red Carpet in Anarkalis." While most of the designers are sticking to the black suit protocol, Nitasha Gaurav, Ranveer's stylist, is out to prove a point. His polka dotted trousers at Karan Johar's show Koffee with Karan adds to the same. Mandira Wirk, who is the stylist for Saif Ali Khan, disagrees, and says that looking different doesn't necessarily translate itself into a classy and elegant turnout. "I personally didn't like Ranveer's styling because that's not how we are conditioned to look at men. We love and admire the Richard Gere like sophisticated look; you tamper with that and it seems like you are really trying hard." In all objectivity, Ranveer Singh's style looks effortless; like it belongs to him and he knows how to carry it. His chappals and plazzos are a welcome change, though the Louis Vuitton suit was probably a mismatch for the esteemed Red Carpet. ashima@tribunemail.com

Stage notes
Jyoti Dogra has enjoyed her innings on the stage as well as the screen, both big and small. However, stage remains her favourite playground. In Chandigarh with her solo, Notes on Chai, on the invite of Chandigarh Sangeet Natak Akademi, Jyoti loves to engage herself on different levels — as a writer, performer and director, she is happy doing all this and more.
Are solos more challenging than ensemble plays, we wonder? Jyoti believes challenges in solo are different than an ensemble cast, but can't say if one is harder than the other. "In a solo, space is more familiar and there is liberty to explore more. Like I have delved into the use of body and that of sound in Notes of Chai, which I bring to the city," says Jyoti. Another thing she loves about solos is that you can carry them on for longer time periods. Notes of Chai has now been running for almost two years. With an ensemble cast, however, this liberty is seldom enjoyed. Time and commitment are the challenges that the whole team has to face to put a show together on stage. As much as Jyoti loves being on stage, she admires Rehan Engineer's works as well. "His approach to the set, scene and cast is so exceptional," she shares. As for actors, Naseeruddin Shah tops her list of favourites. "Everyone says he is an extraordinary actor; of course he is." While men get to play characters of different shades on the big screen, do women get their fair share under the sun? "Well, women don't in any walk of life in India — be it films, corporate sector or marriage. Even in theatre it is as easy or difficult as in any other field." (Notes on Chai will be staged on February 1 from 6:30 pm onwards at the Tagore Theatre) mona@tribunemail.com

A dazzling affair...
Amidst the sea of artists and artworks at the ongoing 6th edition of India Art Fair at New Delhi, in a way he is an odd man out. But India's billionaire jewellery designer Nirav Modi, whose exquisite jewellery pieces are attracting as many eyeballs as priceless artworks, believes, "art and jewellery go together." Sure this is a first-of-its-kind event for him in which he is exhibiting at an art fair. But while jewellery shows and holding exhibitions might be a strict no-no for him, his designs have been a toast at prestigious auctions worldwide. Take his lotus necklace with a rare Golconda diamond. A showpiece of Christie's auction of jewels in Hong Kong in November 2010, it was sold for a whopping three million dollars. Yet another necklace, comprising 36 flawless white diamonds, together weighing 88.88 carats, was sold for 5.1 million dollars at a Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong to a Chinese buyer. More recently, he has created a piece comprising 17 solitaires priced at an astronomical Rs 50 crores.
At the fair, however, he says, "The idea is not to sell but to create awareness and generate interest among the discerning buyers with an artistic eye." Actually much of his jewellery is fashioned and inspired from art. If Mughal miniature art has led to a necklace of diamonds worth Rs 55 lakhs, Monet's Lillies pour in yet another fascinating piece. Growing up in Europe, Antwerp to be precise, repeated visits to art museums exposed him to the best in art at an early stage. Today as he, eats, lives and breathes design, he believes his jewellery line is not just a collector's item but more significantly wearable. To make them so, he goes an extra mile and has created bangles that can stretch out by two inches, a feat achieved by sheer engineering. Movement too is intrinsic to his designs and that is what earned him the appreciation of Rahul Kadakia, head of Christie's Jewellery Department in New York. No wonder some of his designs like earrings that look like butterflies actually move when worn and do not stand stiff. To jewellery-loving Indian women his first bit of advice is, "don't go for heavy pieces that would hurt your neck or ears". Using the finest quality of diamonds - the very minimum is VS quality and F colour - expectedly he cautions buyers against substandard craftsmanship. Dittoing the eternal piece of wisdom that 'jewellery is a lifelong investment', he doesn't think his jewellery is out of bounds for the not-so-rich. He quips, "Some of my jewellery is for Rs 5 lakhs, not exactly cheap but not a king's ransom either." India may have slowly woken up to signature jewellery designs but operating from his plush salon in Mumbai, he certainly has made a place for himself not just in India but also on the international map. No wonder he will soon be setting showrooms in Delhi, Mumbai and New York. Tastes of his foreign clientele, he observes, are no different from their Indian counterparts. Anyway, his signature style is as contemporary as global in appeal. However, except for occasional cufflinks that he himself too adorns at times, he doesn't care for 'ornamenting' men. To dazzle and make the fair sex more dazzling is the aim of his bright and luminous collection.
Collecting gems
Nirav Modi, with revenues of $1.3 billion and manufacturing units in India, Russia, Armenia and South Africa, is also an art collector. Modern masters particularly the progressives is what he cares to buy. The art fair might have a two-fold advantage for him. While he might pick up a few pieces, who knows the artistic impulses imbibed here too are likely to
permeate his designs.

On offer

Nothing romantic
One By Two is a Bollywood film, which is a romantic comedy. It is directed by Devika Bhagat and the film features the real life couple, Abhay Deol and Preeti Desai in the lead roles. The film revolves around the story of Amit and Samara, who meet each other while living in Mumbai. Nothing convincing
I did not quite like the first half of the film that much, but in the second half, the movie catches momentum and becomes a little more entertaining. It is a good story, but not that convincing. It's a one-time watch! Megha Sareen, student Little drab
I liked the film and Abhay Deol has acted really well. However, he is not able to pull the movie through its weak moments. I think the movie is a little drab for a romantic comedy, but then it's okay! Anuj Khanna, businessperson A disappointment
With real-life couples, Abhay Deol and Preeti Desai, I thought that the movie would be fun to watch, but it was quite a disappointment. I like Abhay Deol, but in this movie, he is not all that good. Sonal Manik, fashion designer — As told to Amarjot Kaur

South meets North!
The first name in South Indian food that comes in one's mind is Sagar Ratna. This highly acclaimed chain of restaurant is known for its hygienically prepared South Indian delicacies.
But now the brand has also started to serve North Indian as demanded by the guests. The restaurant has been ranked amongst the best 5 restaurants in iIndia and 450 in Asia by the world renowned Miele Guide. Sagar Ratna has been missing from Sector- 17 for last two years. The customers were missing the authentic South Indian taste to cherish. So here they are, back to serve the patrons. There are a variety of 25 dosas to relish your taste buds. Dahi vada remains the starter speciality that every customer loves to have before giving his order. The staff has been trained from the company end. The taste of the sambar has remained true to authentic one from the very year of its establishment. The sambar master and the dosa master come with an experience of more than 18 years. Apart from the speciality in the South indian cuisine, they are also serving the best of North indian and Chinese cuisines now. While the dosas start at Rs120 onwards, South Indian thali is at Rs 180. There is inaugural discount too. — TNS

Flora co-stars with Ajaz
Actress Flora Saini, who is awaiting the release of in Nagesh Kuknoor's Lakshimi, is all set for the release of much-delayed film Ya Rab. The movie was shot in Lucknow and Mumbai around two-and-a-half years ago. Incidentally the actress shares screen space with Bigg Boss contestant Ajaz Khan. Flora quipped, "He is a fine actor and a very dedicated professional. It was a pleasure working with him." The movie deals with a strong subject that teaches everyone that all religions and Gods are equal and none of them preach killing anyone and spreading terror. Flora further explained, "I am playing Saima who is a sister of a terrorist. She falls for an Indian cop. It's a very interesting role to portray."
Horror story
With many known televisions hunks debuting in Bollywood, Mohammad Nazim is heading towards Bollywood as well. Nazim, who is currently seen as Aham of Saathiya, has chosen a rather unusual genre to debut as he is all set to star in a horror flick Plot no 666. He says, "The script and crux of the movie or a story are the most important points for me. If the story and my character are sensible then I always take up the role. The same goes with this movie. The makers felt I fit in the role." His favourite horror movies include Raaz and 1920, also The Conjuring. He adds, "These movies really grip me, they keep me on the edge of my seat because the stories had life to them. I have completed the shoot and am dubbing for it". Nazim will also be seen in a Punjabi film titled Full Fukrey.
No masti on TV
Vivek Oberoi and Aftab Shivdasani's sex comedy Grand Masti will not be shown on television and neither will Neil Nitin Mukesh's Shortcut Romeo because they have a lot of bold content.
Ranveer says it all
Ranveer Singh tells it like it is. He talks about his aspirations in the film business, co-stars, and more. Two-hero film
Liking an actor is subjective; but yes, I want people to remember both of us. One needn't be concerned about these things. Awards season
I am happy with 2013. I agree with Sonakshi's (Sinha) disappointment over Lootera not getting any nominations; that film hasn't got its due. I am not talking here about my performance. The art director, the music composer, the cinematographer and the director should have got awards as it was a technically superior film. In case of Ram Leela, Deepika (Padukone) deserves to win awards this season. Future plans
I cannot do dhandebaazi, so I cannot be a producer. I do want to look into the creative aspects of filmmaking. Right now I am busy with acting but few years down the line I want to write film scripts, compose music and direct films. I have three ideas in mind and have already narrated them to filmmakers Maneesh Sharma, Shaad Ali and Adi sir (Aditya Chopra) and they seem to be confident about it. The real Ranveer
I am honest and expressive, but no one knows the real me. People ask me to pipe down but I cannot change that; I will go mad if I am pretending to be someone I am not. What matters is that I don't offend anyone. Of course, people now know that I am prone to doing crazy stuff. Besides, I am not in an important relationship that I need to be worried about. Fashion sense
I wear what I want to wear irrespective of what people like or dislike. Also, I get easily bored with suits in black, grey, blue and white. Thanks to my stylist, I am more aware about fashion. Now that I have money of my own, I can shop for myself; earlier, I'd just wear what my mother or sister would buy me.
Losing for a reason
Rajkumar Rao has lost more than seven kilos and he will lose two more kilos for his role in City Lights. He has gone off non-veg food and carbohydrates and fried food.
Funny and happy
Farhan Akhtar is very happy that Shaadi Ke Side Effects has given him the chance to do a lot of comedy and he feels that it is the funniest movie he has ever done. Kalki moves out
Kalki Koechlin has moved out of her shared apartment with Anurag Kashyap and is living on her own in a rented apartment in the vicinity. The duo is on talking terms though they

Playing the devil
The young and charming Akshay Sethi makes his way to SAB TV's fantasy show Baal Veer as a devilish magician Mogambo Gomango. Known for his negative roles in Saat Phere and Sasural Genda Phool, Akshay will be seen in a completely different character as Mogambo Gomango this time around. He plays a magician with a negative shade, who possesses special powers through which he can create his own clone, becomes invisible and fools people through his tricks. "It's for the first time ever in Baal Veer that a male antagonist has been introduced. My character has different negative shades along with lots of fun. A stylish and sleek magician, I steal valuable jewels and clothes of queens. My aim is to destroy the Pari Lok and Baal Veer. I am excited about playing the character of Mogambo Gomango, as I had to change my voice to a
very husky one for this role," he says.
Roshni’s comic timing
Mimicking Kangana Ranaut and Priyanka Chopra on Lux Cozi Zee Cine Awards 2014 Nominations Special episode, Roshni Chopra was seen at her versatile best. While the actress carried off their looks from the movies Rajjo and Zanjeer with ease, Roshni seemed quite comfortable playing their parts too. Mimicking the two Bollywood sirens in a hilarious spoof that had various other mimicry artists, including Rajesh Kumar, Kunal Kumar and Mubin playing the bigwigs of Bollywood, Roshni was seen playing a double role of Priyanka and Kangana. "It was a lot of fun stepping into the shoes of Kangana and Priyanka, as they are both glamorous style icons. I hope the audiences like my look and laugh out loud." Watch out the 'Nomination Special' episode of Zee Cine Awards on Saturday, February 1, at 7 pm only on Zee
TV. Moving on?
Buzz is that Hina Khan aka Akshara in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai has split from her boyfriend. She was apparently seeing the director of her show Neeraj Baliyan, who not only groomed her but reportedly helped her become the actress she is. Hina never spoke about him in public, but they were seen together at parties. Recently, when Hina threw a party to celebrate five years of the show he was, however, missing. Show time...
Jaya Bachchan's television debut show is on its way and rumours are that it might replace Desh Ki Beti Nandini. The latter hasn't delivered ratings, so the channel is thinking of launching Jaya's show at the 9 pm slot instead. It has a cast starring Anupam Kher, Urvashi Dholakia and Vishal Singh, among others. Classical approach
During award functions, television actresses usually prefer to showcase their dancing skills on popular Bollywood numbers or through contemporary dance forms. Recently when Shilpa Shinde was asked to put up a performance for SAB Ke Satrangi Parivaar Awards, she chose to stick to the traditional Indian classic dance form — Kathakali. Shilpa, who is currently playing the character of a Catholic girl named Mary D'mello in SAB TV's popular show Lapataganj - Ek Baar Phir, will be once again seen dressed in bright and colourful South- Indian attire. "Dancing on Indian classical forms is very difficult and challenging. It is very different from the usual Bollywood song and dance numbers. A lot of attention is required in getting the right expressions. I performed on Desh Mera Rangeela from the movie Fanna. The best thing about performing an Indian classical dance form is that it improves your concentration levels. I am sure viewers will love my performance."

Negatively positive
Aanchal Khurrana aka Charu of Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke fame talks about her devilish character in the show, Aanchal says right now her focus is on her health, which has been suffering too. We catch up for more.
Your role is ending again, how does it feel? It's disappointing. It doesn't feel like its ending, as Charu will be back soon. The game is still on. This was my fifth re-entry into the show. Every time I come back, it's exciting. The TRP rises as people hate Charu! What do you dislike most about your character Charu? She' dumb, arrogant and a rich brat! I don't like many things about her but her proposal to have a one-night stand with Mayank was the worst I thought. Personally, I hate negative characters. What is it like working in the show? It is great as the cast and crew are lovely. I am friendly with all of them. Till my last comeback, I was good friends with Roopal Tyagi and now I am friendly with all. The senior actors take good care of me. Did you even fall ill during the show? Yes. I was hospitalised as I had an ulcer in my intestine. I had to undergo treatment, but as I was needed to shoot I couldn't get proper rest. The director took great care and asked me to rest between takes. What's next for you? I will go to Delhi for a week to recover. I want to get well. And later I will look for a positive character to play onscreen. I keep getting offers for negative roles, but I want to try my hand at positive roles as well.
