It’s showtime again!
Sometimes, when buried under time, even the most memorable performances need to be recalled. Even though her roles stretch back to serials like Sea Hawks and A Mouthful of Sky, it is the adorable character of Heena that gets the bells ringing.
From playing a helpless protagonist in a daily soap to returning as an all-powerful Durga Thakur in Star Plus' Ek Hasina Thi. Given her career graph, Simone Singh has always been used to a few repetitive queries. These days it is the fact that she chose to make a comeback after half-a-decade with a negative character. "The negative character was just not an apprehension. In fact, that was the main draw for me," she shares, while in Chandigarh to host a fashion show put together by The Talwarsons. The negative streak was not a deterrent, not even the fact that she plays a mother to a grown up — the dreaded point in the career of any woman in showbiz. "If at all, there were apprehensions whether I'd be able to devote long hours for the show. Playing a mother was the least of my concerns." She adds, "The way the character was narrated to me was appealing. She has streaks of grey, but she is powerful and central to the story." There is nothing else on the radar, 'because playing a central character in a television serial doesn't leave you with time for anything else." She has had brief stints and cameos in more than a dozen films, including Being Cyrus, Kal Ho Na Ho and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. "I just do not have a dream role." If long hours demanded by television industry, leave any time…"I love to travel with my husband. But I don't think I'll be getting to do that any time soon now. Apart from that I also like to cook. I used to write on food."
Shining bright
Well, it seems like nothing has changed in the past few wedding seasons. The trends that have been there only emerge stronger than ever before at the fashion show organised by The Talwarsons. Chandelier earrings, gem stones (emeralds to be precise) diamonds and statement pieces continue to rule. Like we said, nothing much has changed. Save for a few motifs and silhouettes. Shares Simone Singh, "For all those who have loved Chandelier earrings, this is the time; the ladies that do not yet have chandelier earrings, this is the time to fix this problem." She adds, "One can wear only one thing at a time and stand out. Save for a wedding in the family, one can get away with the limelight with only one statement piece." Diamonds and solitaires ruled the collection, with even the bridal collection going in for a major overhaul and moving from the traditional gold coupled with kundan as well as polki to diamonds.

Twice the melody
Aditya Balani and Suhail Yusuf Khan Suhail grew up following totally different routes to music. While Adi listened to film music and played on his keyboard, Suhail found inspiration from the sound of sarangi he grew up listening to. Following his uncles, Kamal Sabri and grandfather Ustad Sabri Khan, Suhail picked up the sarangi. Adi pursued music and went to learn formally at Berklee College of Music, Boston, US.
Now, together they present quite a wonderful sight on stage you see sarangi, drums, laptop with loop and two artistes having a go! Been together for the last decade or so, Adi and Suhail combined to make music and buoyed by the encouraging response, cut their first album titled Culture Code Landscape. Quite an unusual name for a musical album! Adi explains, "For us Culture Code is the DNA of a culture, the stories, the language and the history. Culture Code Landscape is the landscape of all the DNA of different cultures put together, which we are a part of and draw inspiration from." The duo rocked at the recent music festival at Kasauli. The event worked as an excellent escape from city life (they are currently based in
Delhi) and made them meet, listen to other artistes and share their latest album as well. Culture Code Landscape has nine tracks in total. Unifying theme is love. You see sarangi and guitar coming together, and various other artistes to present a cultural mélange. There is poetry by Baba Bulleh Shah with Western influences in Naina; Qalandar takes forward the message of most saints while Pahchaan is about humdrum of life taking us away from our real selves. While they do fusion, ask them about their inspiration in music and Adi turns to Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, "I am moved not only by his divine music but how he overcame all obstacles to reach where he is today. Suhail credits Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan as his inspiration. They are doing of couple of shows in major cities in the country, including Chandigarh, and going to UK for concerts later on. Catch them live at the Whistling Duck on April 25 from 8 pm onwards. mona@tribunemail.com

The stage is set
Ras Kala Manch from Haryana is geared up to delight theatre buffs in a three-day festival that kicks off on April 25... Amarjot Kaur While Chandigarh folks eagerly await election results, artists are all eager to take part in Chandigarh Sangeet Natak Academy's three-day Chalo Theatre National Theatre Festival, which has been organised in association with Ras Kala Manch. Touted as one of the prominent theatre festivals in Haryana, the Chalo Theatre National Theatre Festival has been doing rounds in Hisar, annually. However, this year, the Ras Kala Manch, a Haryana-based theatre group, sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Haryana, is organising the event in the city. When asked about the reason behind changing the venue to Chandigarh this year, secretary of the Ras Kala Manch, Manish Joshi Bismil says, "This is the fifth edition of the festival and we wanted to make it big, so we changed the venue to Tagore Theatre." He adds that the city's audience is more responsive to theatre. The three-day festival will feature a play every evening, starting 7 pm. On collaborating with the Chandigarh Sangeet Natak Academy, Manish shares that he met Gurcharan Singh Channi, whose daughter had performed at the Chalo Theatre National Theatre Festival in Hisar, and he and as chairman of the Academy was prompt to accept their proposal. "The group comprises as many as twenty artistes, who are paid on a monthly basis," says Manish. While most theatre artistes complain about the Government not providing them with enough resources, Manish remains less critical and credits the Government of Haryana and Ministry of Culture for funding them. But that does not change his stance about the freedom of an artist's expression. "Theatre has always been against the system and a medium of expressing the need for change, so just because the government is funding us does not mean that we can't do plays that voice our opinion for change," says Manish. Of the three plays, which will be performed at the Festival, the first one titled About Ram has been directed by Anuradha Roy, a renowned puppeteer and recipient of Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Purskar by Sangeet Natak Academy. Performed by the Delhi-based theatre group, Katkatha, the play traces Ram's inner journey as a man tormented by his forced separation from his wife Sita. Doosra Aadmi Doosri Aurat, a play directed by Ravi Mohan, a self-trained nationally acclaimed theatre director, will be performed on the second day. The play laments the transitory and futile existence of relations in today's world. On the last day, a play titled Urgent Meeting will be staged. Directed by JP Singh and performed by the Delhi-based Rangbhoomi group, the play is a satire on today's bureaucracy. (Festival starts on April 25 at the Tagore Theatre, Chandigarh. Entry is free) amarjot@tribunemail.com

Spring in the step
The spring is here…nature at its most bountiful. Needless to say, the surroundings have a huge impact on how we perceive and lead our lives. It's not for nothing that April is celebrated as redecorating month…
Here's how our Chandigarh folks are making the most of the month and experts share their tips for those who are yet to do the late spring cleaning…
Suchita Malik is enjoying her colourful front and back lawn that has a variety of flowers. This teacher-writer takes a part of her garden inside too. "Every second or third day, I do flower and fern arrangement on our dining table and that's the most happening place of the home. Even the corners come alive with flowers," says Suchita who often redecorates. 'Variety is the spice of life' is her mantra and with the change of the season her study table moves. Spring is all about window view, winter the sunny spot…
It's colours again for Suvaina Sharma from Mohali who is employed with a pharmaceutical firm. But colours not in just flowers but in paints and patterns too dot her home. "I love to redo my room often in my favourite colour which keeps changing. Prints are dominating Suvaina's wardrobe as well as her room in form of drapes and bedspreads. "I am quite fascinated by dark blue this season," says this 'room' proud girl who follows interior glossies to be in touch with the latest. Looking through
In office interiors, glass is fast replacing the partitions for more transparency, more light, architect, interior decorator Renu Khanna cues us in. For her office, she has kept small meeting tables outside with stone and plants arrangements around. It not only adds up to the decor but it is practical too. "If a visitor comes to meet someone, people all around get disturbed. So, we have designed this separate area," says Renu. As far as trends go, bright colours are in. For home, Renu suggests shuffling of furniture, adding fillers and bringing an aquarium home. "Fish is considered lucky, and they say when a fish dies it takes away some of your bad karma
along."

Ambarsar da love
Divya Dutta Ambarsar de papad ve main khaandi na... That's the music video I was a part of. It had become a household name. Ambarsar. My Amritsar. My birthplace. Darbar saheb where my ma would go and do sewa. She said, "You are a blessing me and your dad got from Darbar sahib. We really prayed to have you." My connect with the Golden Temple had been established from my birth. Every visit to this place is so special. Every time, I visit Amritsar, the first stop is to pay obeisance. This trip was very special every which way. It was a visit to the Golden Temple with lots of officials accompanying me. Lots of people were coming to meet me and most of them were women. It wasn't a mere meeting. They blessed me, some hugged me tight, and some pulled my cheeks with affection. There was so much warmth in them. I could have cried with that overwhelming love. It's a thing about Punjabis. So, magnanimous with their love! I felt I was a part of them. I gave a silent 'thank you' standing in the sacred premise. That was my moment with the sacred shrine. That one moment I disconnected with the world. I just thanked for all the blessings and gave the Almighty all my worries. When I give everything and everyone my sincerest best, why should I worry about the results? They are not in my hands. They were in the hands of the one I had locked my gaze at. I stood silent and tears flowed! Of a magical connection, of having communicated, of having been heard by someone you've known when you were born…getting so much love in his presence, life seemed surreal! As I bowed down one last time, Wahe guru meher karin, I smiled and cried simultaneously. The most beautiful feeling in the world! I felt so secure and reassured when I left that premise. Outside, I picked up some wadis and papads for ma. I went to the airport with so much baggage...of warmth and blessings.... from my Ambarsar. (Dutta is a Bollywood actress)

Smooth nutrition
Kandla Nijhowne Health gurus advocate we should have heaps of fresh veggies and fruit. Health gurus surely know! The trouble is we cannot really consume enough so willingly, where smoothies and juicing come to our rescue. When converted into a smoothie, we are able to have a bigger bulk of fresh goodness which is detoxifying, filling and energizing for our system. Choose seasonal produce when it's in its prime and whiz into a peppy- wonder food! Adding spinach is a superb idea, giving you a punch of calcium, iron and protein. It also makes a vibrant green smoothie, initiating you into going green!
Green smoothie
This recipe has ginger which regulates blood circulation and increases immunity.

Imran pairs up with Ileana

Tough competition
There is a good amount of competition at the box office this weekend as Kangna Ranaut starrer Revolver Rani will battle it out with Subhash Ghai's Kaanchi, Rajeev Khandelwal's Samrat and Co. and a documentary titled The World Before Her.
IIFA rocks
A host of Bollywood celebrities, including Shahid Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and Sonakshi Sinha, have landed in Tampa Bay to attend the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards 2014, which is making its US debut. The four-day award show, which is hosted in a new place every year, has a impressive line-up of Bollywood celebrities. This year the nomination list is dominated by actress Deepika Padukone, who has three nominations--for performance in a leading role (female) category in Chennai Express, Goliyon Ki Rasleela- Ramleela and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewaani. Amongst the films, the biopic Bhaag Milkha Bhaag starring Farhan bagged 10 nominations followed by Goliyon Ki Rasleela- Ramleela and the romantic musical Aashiqui 2 with seven nominations each. — PTI
Spiritual intake
Kangna Ranaut has turned a vegetarian completely. It has been tough as she gets meat cravings but she restrains herself. She felt that meat-eating was blocking her spiritually and now she feels lighter and happier than before, having started living on vegetables.
Chetan is all for Alia
Chetan Bhagat is apparently keen on casting Alia Bhatt as the female lead in the adaptation of his book Revolution 2020. He loved her in 2 States.
Salman the Spiderman!
Salman Khan gave the entire unit a scare for a couple of hours. He chose to do the high risk action sequence on his own. Salman, who is currently shooting in Poland, left the entire unit holding their breath for around 5 hours till he finished shooting a pivotal sequence for Kick. With all safety precautions were taken by the unit, it was still extremely risky for Salman to hang from the 40th floor of the tallest building in Poland. Palace of Culture and Science is a huge tourist attraction and always has hundreds of visitors on a given day. While the unit was able to cordon off a very small area below the building as they were shooting the facade from a long distance, hundreds of fans were standing to cheer and clap. The interesting thing was that every movement of Salman was met with a laugh, a collective sigh and a lot of claps. Sajid Nadiadwala confirms and adds Salman Khan was incredible. Kick is expected to release on Eid this year.
Good choice
Karan Johar was convinced that only Ronit Roy could do the role of Arjun Kapoor's drunkard father in the movie 2 States and he got him on board. Ronit was not too sure and would not have done the film had it not been for Johar. Now, he is basking in the
praise.

Home for polls
Actors Raqesh Vasisth, Ridhi Dogra and Akshay Dogra have made a trip to Amritsar to support their family. We hear that Arun Jaitely is Ridhi and Akshay's uncle and hence the entire family is together. In fact, Akshay and Riddhi have spent many summer holidays as children in Amristar. Ask Ridhi and she quips, "I am so happy to be back to my paternal city here with Raqesh for the general elections 2014. To support our uncle Arun Jaitley is a moment of immense pride and honour for the entire family." Adds Raqesh, "I love Amritsar and it feels great to be here for our family. The entire city is getting ready for the elections and its fun. We are also planning a visit to the Golden Temple, which I am really looking forward to."
The show goes on...
Fans of Sony Entertainment Television's popular crime show CID are well aware about the show completing seventeen years, but here's some unknown trivia on this show. Did you know that when the show started it was just a unit of ten members, which has now grown to more than 100 now! Shivaji Satam, popularly known as ACP Pradyuman, says, "The whole team of CID was a tiny group of 10 people, including the cast and the crew. Due to lack of crew members there were days that even I used to help the crew by holding the lights. We all played a pivotal role in the making of the show, so that the episode could air on time. It is because of the dedication that the show has received such a huge response from the audience and continues to be the most loved show.”
Back in time
Get set for an exciting summer as History TV 18 brings back the clan of Norse warriors with a rapacious appetite for warfare, knowledge and power. The second season of Vikings begins on April 21, 2014, with episodes every Monday to Wednesday at 9 pm. The gripping family saga of Ragnar, Rollo, Lagertha; friends and enemies is a tale of brutality, passion, alliances, infidelities, infighting and death. The hit scripted drama series centers on Ragnar (Travis Fimmel), a restless young warrior and family man who longs to find and conquer new lands across the sea. It portrays life in the Dark Ages, a world ruled by raiders and explorers, through the eyes of Viking society. Now Ragnar is an Earl, allied with King Horrik (Donal Logue). With more power than ever before, his desire to sail West and explore new kingdoms remains unquenchable. The new season brings crises of faith, power and relationships. Loyalties shift from friend to foe and unlikely alliances are formed in the name of supremacy. Ragnar's indiscretions threaten his marriage to Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick), tearing him and his beloved son apart. Plots are hatched, scores are settled and blood is spilled…all under the watchful eyes of the gods. Tune into Vikings, every Monday to Wednesday at 9 pm, only on History TV18 for all the action.
More than friends
Sharad Malhotra and Divyanka Tripathi finally admit to their relationship. The couple has being seeing each other for seven years, but always claimed they are just good friends. The couple has been spotted together often and their friends as well as family always knew about them.
What’s cooking?
Buzz is that co-stars, Adhvik Mahajan and Neha Bagga aka Sohum and Rajji in Bani - Ishq Da Kalma, are seeing each other. They play a couple on screen and rumours about their closeness have been rife. But Adhvik is happily married, and both have refuted the rumours.
Spirited effort
Kushal Tandon, who recently injured his right shoulder and had to leave Khatron Ke Khiladi, is in Dubai right now shooting for Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's music video with Gauhar Khan. Kushal who is due for his surgery on April 23, decided to shoot the video irrespective of all the odds as he has always been a big fan of Rahat's songs. Kushal and Gauhar will be seen romancing in this music video. The video will be released on April 23 at IIFA in the US on the same day of Kushal's surgery in India. "I have been taking special care of my shoulder since the injury; this video depicts a couple's pain post separation so there are no dance moves or physical exertion. I am really happy to be a part of it," says Kushal.
Bonding over books
Shooting for daily shows can be quite time consuming, especially for child actors, considering they have to pay attention to their studies as well. But what if the sets turn into a part-time study sessions? The sets of Star Plus' Yeh Hai Mohabattein seemed to have turned into tutorial sessions for little Ruhi (played by Ruhanika Dhawan), as she has found a new teacher for herself. This teacher is none other than her on-screen
mother Divyanka Tripathi (Ishita). Ruhanika and Divyanka have formed a very strong bond with each other and Divyanka is always around the little girl, taking care of her even during shoot breaks. The two spend a lot of time with each other on the sets and Divyanka feels much attached to her.
