3 Unforgettable Bollywood Hairstyles

Hi guys,

In this blog post I will be showing you guys how to achieve some hairstyles made unforgettable by our Bollywood beauties. Fret not, they’re easier to recreate than they look, many thanks to BBLUNT products which make styling at home easier than ever!

When I thought of unforgettable Bollywood hairstyles, the first one I could think of was the vintage bouffant messy bun. It has been around since forever, especially in Bollywood.

Here is how you can achieve it..

  1. I started with spraying the BBLUNT Dry Shampoo into my roots to soak up the excess oil and also give the hair some texture.
  2. I took the front crown section and teased/back combed it.
  3. Then I used a bumpit to give some extra volume at the crown area.
  4. And rolled the rest of the hair behind in a messy bun
  5. Finished with the BBLUNT Spotlight Hair Polish for that added shine

And we are done, easy peasy.

2nd hairstyle is even easier. It’s a variation of the 1st hairstyle. I see Deepika Padukone often in this high ponytail.

  1. For this, I unrolled the bun and kept the front bumpit section as it is. If you are doing only this hairstyle, follow Step 1 to 3 above from the first hairstyle.
  2. Take all of the hair behind in a high ponytail.
  3. Take one section of the hair from the pony and roll it over the rubber band, so that the band is not visible.
  4. Once again, finish with the BBLUNT Spotlight Hair Polish to make the pony stay in place all day long!

And finally, the 3rd hairstyle which is my personal favourite. When you think of Madhuri Dixit, the first thing you will think of are her beautiful eyes and her gorgeous locks.. The messy, voluminous waves, she has been carrying those since forever and looks beautiful every single time.

Since my hair is super straight, it was a little difficult to get the exact same results, but I tried this and it worked wonderfully.

  1. First I dampened my hair and took a coin sized amount of the BBLUNT High Definition Curl Leave-in Cream
  2. Applied it over the mid-lengths to ends scrunched a little. This cream gives you long lasting, well-defined curls
  3. After waiting for 10 minutes, I blow dried my hair
  4. That gave me messy, voluminous waves as you can see here.
  5. I used a hair curler on some big and small random sections of hair for more defined curls
  6. Finished with the BBLUNT Spotlight Hair Polish

And we are done! I love voluminous curls on me, as my hair is naturally straight and flat.

I hope you liked these hairstyles, let me know your favourite in the comments below.

Bollywood Ladies Rocking the Crop Top

By Nidhal

It’s fun. It’s flirtatious. It’s sassy and it’s in! Confounded? Don’t be. I am talking about what has made it to the fancy of Tinsel town ladies these days… Crop Tops! There is no denying that crop tops amp up one’s glam quotient by leaps and bounds. And if your midriff is drool-worthy, a crop top brings all the limelight to it in the most flattering and tasteful manner. On that note, let us take a note of those B-wood ladies who carry off crop tops in sheer panache and aplomb.

1. KATRINA KAIF- With a face so cherubic and a body that is enviable, it comes as no doubt that Katrina Kaif had to make it to the list. Seen here is Katrina swaddled in a prepossessing Dhruv Kapoor crop top with a pair of culottes by Bodice at the Fitoor promotions. She slipped on to a pair of comfortable sneakers. A tied back ponytail completed her chic look.

Subtle but stunning!

2. JACQUELINE FERNANDEZ– Arguably the lady with the fittest body in Tinseltown, Jacqueline is seen here saddled in a simple casual crop top, printed jeans a pair of sneakers. Doesn’t this perfect for casual outings with one’s bunch of pals? Simple, chic and winsome in short.

3. TAMMANAAH BHATIA- The warrior princess of Bahhubali, Tammanaah Bhatia is the epitome of cuteness. With a porcelain clear complexion, her choice of colour is impeccable. Pink suits those with a lighter skin tone the most just the way orange complements warm shades the best. Tammanaah is seen here swaddled in a candy pink crop top and skirt by Elizabeth and James. Nude pumps? Check. Wavy beachy tousled hair? Check. Natural makeup? Check.

Fresh and feminine look? Check. She was styled by Nishka Lulla Mehra and all that endeavour surely shows positively here.

4. DEEPIKA PADUKONE- Can she stop being the winsome lass that she is so that I am not compelled to put her in every list that I prepare? Well, that is a question only Deepika can answer but I hope it’s in negation  During one of the promotional legs of her then, impending movie- Piku, Deepika was seen swaddled in a black sequins sporty crop top with balloon sleeves. This was paired with distressed cropped denims. Sporty loafers in white completed her look. Pssst… I know you are drooling over her abs. I understand. Even I am 🙂

5. PRIYANKA CHOPRA- Another fashionista of Bollywood who almost always steps as if on a mission to leave one and all awestruck with her impeccable sense of dressing. Having donned crop tops a couple of times, Priyanka here shows you how to style it in a number of ways. Long skirt, denims, pencil skirts… You name it and she shows it and how! And that midriff is worth drooling over, isn’t it?

6. NARGIS FAKHRI – Her frame is enviable. Period. So is her natural pout, isn’t it? Looking her casual best at the screening of the movie- Finding Fanny, Nargis made sure the shutterbugs had a pleasant time as she opted for a Forever 21 crop top along with Zara palazzo pants.

7. SONAM KAPOOR- Can this lady ever be missed when compiling a list of most fashionable B-town divas? Sonam has been seen swaddled a number of times in Payal Singhal and Arpita Mehta crop tops on different occasions during the promotions of her then impending movie- Khoobsurat 🙂 Khoobsurat, we say!

Editor’s Note: I loved Sonam and Priyanka’s looks, very versatile.

Corporate Fashion Inspiration from Bollywood

By Nidhal

Chances are you would have been at your wits end when it comes to zeroing in on the ideal outfit for office at some point of your life. It is not school where everyone has to wear a uniform. It is not college where you have complete volition to try out whatever you’d like to be it- the ethnic kurta, the grungy rock star attire with a bandana or your go-to long skirt teamed with a tank top. Office calls for a change in your wardrobe, doesn’t it? So, why not glance at the best corporate/office looks that Tinsel-town ladies carried in panache and borrow some?

1. KAREENA KAPOOR KHAN- In a film whose immanent theme was role reversal ‘Ki and Ka’, Kareena played Kiya- the head honcho of a multinational company. Swaddled in the most chic and comfortable one-pieces (not gaudy or revealing ones) with cropped blazers that makes the entire looks trendy as well as professional. Kudos! Mrs. Khan.

2. SONAM KAPOOR – The Fashionista of Bollywood- Sonam Kapoor cannot be left behind when it comes to making waves with her effortless fashion style. Seen here is Sonam decked in black and white formals that are teamed with a pair of goggles that give a nerdy and chic look. Her mane let loose might look prepossessing but according to me that is the last thing any lady with a corporate job should go for. Reason? It will stick around with things/your body the moment you step out of an air-conditioned room and entangle with objects thereby break. So, the bottom line is to borrow ideas practically.

3. ALIA BHATT –Inarguably she displays the most eclectic range of ethnic office attire. Seen here is Alia swaddled in a plain black kurta with a pink Chinese collar and dupatta. This is from the scene where she is seen during a presentation in the movie – 2 States. For those ladies who are neither fond nor comfortable with sporting western office attire, sporting such plain kurtis comes across as a viable option.

4. KATRINA KAIF- She looked picture perfect in Fitoor. Not many can carry off red hair well and she looks dreamy with that fiery colour on her tresses! Seen here is Katrina (who essayed the role of Firdaus Jaan Naqvi in Fitoor) swaddled in atypical Western office attire but with a casual twist. The rolled up sleeves and slightly plunging neckline that doesn’t look risqué, makes it inimitable.

5. DEEPIKA PADUKONE- My vote for the best office/corporate attire to come out from Bollywood has to be from Deepika in Piku. Keeping the weather in mind, Deepika opts for a traditional fabric kurta with palazzo pants and mojris. Her accessories include bags, sunglasses, earrings and a scarf. The palazzo pants make sure that the fabric does not stick to one’s body and discomfit a person during our infamous sweltering summers.

6. PRIYANKA CHOPRA- And the Quantico girl arrives on the list and how! Shown to be working for Verve magazine in Dostana, PeeCee’s look had to be glamourous, chic and dramatic- something not usually associated with the minimalistic looks we see in conventional office jobs. As a result, she swaddled herself in bright dramatic outfits that looked apt with the field she was shown to be in- fashion.

7. DEEPIKA PADUKONE- We can’t help it if the lady has it in her to get a second feature in the list. Deepika Padukone, in the early days of her career essayed the role of a corporate employee in Kartik Calling Kartik. Shown to be a woman of today, her look was kept minimal and sophisticated. With soft curls cascading down her shoulders, she sported simple sleeveless white shirts teaming them up with a black figure-hugging skirt.

Editors’ Note: I loved Katrina in Fitoor and Deepika in Piku

Bollywood Ladies Who Carry Jumpsuits the Best

By Nidhal

There may be myriad outfits at any given point of time. Period. Quite naturally, every trip to the market to zero in on an outfit for an occasion and you’d be spoiled for choice. While most outfits aren’t ‘versatile’ In the sense that you can’t put them on for any occasion/event sans a second thought. Come on, who wears a saree for a casual day out with friends, after all? But wait, there is one attire that is rightfully versatile to a ‘great extent’. Be it a casual day out with friends or a party, a date or a flight journey, jumpsuits are there to your rescue. Let us then, have a look at those Tinsel- town ladies who carry jumpsuits the best 🙂

1. SONAM KAPOOR- She strode in elan in an Elie Saab Jumpsuit On Day 3 Of MAMI 2015 and we were swept off our feet. Sonam, like never before, makes heads turn and after seeing her, we get to know why. This leggy lass is a Fashionista not for anything.

2. NARGIS FAKHRI- She is a lady who dresses effortlessly but doesn’t get as many roses thrown at her as some do in Tinsel-town so, here we are, doing what we think she deserves. That is to say, drool at her. At an event in Mumbai, Nargis looked drop-dead gorgeous in a sleek black jumpsuit. Minimalism is the key here and it works wonders, don’t you think so?

3. DEEPIKA PADUKONE- And here comes the reigning queen of Tinsel-town’s Box Office. And it looks like DP has made up her mind to plumb jumpsuits like no one. Be it a tiger-print or a strapless jumpsuit, a high-necked white jumpsuit or one revealing her décolletage, Deepika has gone all out with the attire and made heads turn. My favourite amongst all would be the one in tiger-print 🙂

4. YAMI GAUTAM- Swaddled in a Do & Be jumpsuit, Yami beams radiantly. Her nude makeup, minimal accessorising and girl-next- door charm compel us to envisage ourselves in place of Ayushmaan Khurrana as he serenaded her in Vicky Donor with ‘Paani Da Rang’. This looks proves that simplicity never goes out of vogue.

5. ATHIYA SHETTY- Newbies Athiya Shetty and Sooraj Pancholi made an appearance at F Bar in Delhi during one of the promotional tours of their then, impending flick- Hero. Athiya was swaddled in a gorgeous white jumpsuit by designer Ridhi Mehra from her latest collection. It goes without saying that she did justice to the embroidered ribbon sleeves jumpsuit.

6. KAJAL AGGARWAL- For the promotion of one of her flicks- Sardar Gabbara Singh, the perky Kajal kept things minimal in a Zara jumpsuit. Red lip, a classic wristwatch and nude pumps completed her look and don’t we just look at her with sheep’s eyes all this while?

7. KAREENA KAPOOR KHAN- During one of the screenings of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kareena sported a black and white printed DvF jumpsuit. With a Christopher Kane black sling bag with gold chain and Saint Laurent sandals, she rounded off her look. Aren’t you smitten?

Bollywood Fashion Faceoff: Who Wore it Better?

By Nidhal

Choc-a- bloc schedules with film assignments, dubbing, movie promotions at myriad venues, advert shoots, press conferences, store launches, award ceremonies and frequent outdoor shoots… phew! It would be arduous to swaddle oneself in the trendiest of outfits and showcase one’s sense of style every time a star steps out. The struggle is all the more tedious for a Bollywood actress who is screened from top to toe for her style, while a male celeb may evade the lens of the fashion police, scot-free even after committing the most heinous of fashion faux pas.

In the midst of all this, B-town celebs, particularly the female ones end up crossing each other’s paths swathed in the same outfit! Now, that is not a blunder per se. One may have an idea of what they would wear for a particular event, but how is one supposed to have any inkling of others sartorial choices given one’s hectic schedules? So, while wearing the same attire is admissible and not at all cringe-worthy in my opinion, yet we can surely assess who wore it better – that is, who brought to the outfit their sense of style, individuality and panache? They say- Never let clothes wear you. So, let us check out who did the same. Let it out in the comments section.

1. DEEPIKA OR SONAM- ‘Great minds think alive’ so goes an adage. Certainly, in this case, when two of Bollywood’s leading ladies in the present time and ace fashionistas think alike, we get to treat our eyes to their winsome appearances. Both the ladies decided to wear the same sarees but at different events. While Deepika swaddled herself in a cut sleeve blouse and a high pony at one of the events of Chennai Express’ promotions, Sonam sported a vintage look with three-quarter- sleeved blouse and a loose bun for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag promotions.

2. YAMI, PARINEETI OR ALIA- All belonging to the new crop of Tinsel-town- Yami Gautam, Parineeti Chopra and Alia Bhatt decided to team a see-through black-n- white top with denims to keep the look easy-going and laidback. Although there may emerge a winner amongst Yami and Alia, but Parineeti underwhelmed thanks to the faux pas she suffered.

3. KAREENA OR DEEPIKA- And now that’s what you call an exact replica! The dimpled Deepika stepped out in a mesmeric houndstooth print outfit to promote Ram Leela on the sets of Kapil Sharma’s comedy show. Coincidentally, not long ago, the feisty Kareena Kapoor Khan posed for the cover of a magazine in an exact replica of the outfit.

4. SHILPA OR DEEPIKA- And here come the ladies who have the best bodies in Bollywood without any iota of doubt! Naturally, any dress would complement the two, but what if the two sultry lasses zero in on the same attire? Scroll upwards and decide for yourselves. Baffled, aren’t you? Clearly here, only the skirt of both the divas is common yet, even that is sufficient to draw parallels. While Deepika teamed up her floral print Zara skirt with a bishop sleeved top, Shilpa opted for a loose white top gathered with a belt with the same skirt.

5. DEEPIKA OR PARINEETI- Opting for a blue and red number with psychedelic prints, the statuesque Deepika Padukone and the pert Parineeti Chopra both held court at the respective events they wore it to. While Deepika wore the dress first at a Film Awards announcement conference in January 2016, Parineeti was seen wearing the dress at a photoshoot a few months later.

6. KATRINA OR SONAKSHI- Clad in a short printed dress, both Katrina Kaif and Sonakshi ‘shotgun’ Sinha looked like sisters cut from the same cloth. While Katrina wore the one-piece at the audio launch of Bang Bang, Sonakshi swaddled herself in the same raiment in one of the songs of Action Jackson.

7. KAREENA OR DEEPIKA- And it is Kareena Kapoor Khan versus Deepika Padukone again! Both the A-list actresses of Tinsel-town seem to have a similar taste in fashion, don’t they? This was the second instance when they stepped out wearing the same attire. Kareena walked the green carpet of IIFA 2014 in a black Giorgio Armani gown, a slight variation of which Deepika sported at IIFA 2016. While Kareena added a sheer to cover up her frontal bare, Deepika decided to bare it all and raising the oomph of the apparel by leaps and bounds.

Editor’s Note: 4 out of 7 are Deepika :/ I hope she has better stylists now 😀

Bollywood Ladies Who Dazzle in Swimsuits

By Nidhal

Remember the previous post on Bollywood ladies who sizzle in bikinis? Weren’t you left slobbering, drooling and wanting for more? The ladies certainly sported bikinis with enormous aplomb, confidence and a sense of pride in their bodies that one couldn’t help but have their heartbeats race at a pace most F1 racers would be put to shame. So here you with a brief rundown of those Bollywood Ladies whose swimsuit avatars have been the most graceful, tasteful and magnetic of all.

1. KATRINA KAIF- If you thought her abs in Kala Chashma were a treat to your eyes, think again! The lady’s got more to soothe your eyes. Her pink swimsuit avatar in Sau Aasmaano song from Baar Baar Dekho gives one a no-holds barred view of her sculpted sun-kissed body as she saunters on the picturesque beaches in the song. Katrina Kaif donned a pink swimsuit in Baar Baar Dekho and made sure that she brought a carefree and laidback attitude to an otherwise sultry swimsuit.

2. PRIYANKA CHOPRA- Priyanka Chopra, PC for short ensured that the temperature on the beaches of Miami increased by a few notches when she strutted in a shimmery golden swimsuit in Dostana. What I can say for certain is that cine-goers back home had their jaws drop in awe.

3. SHILPA SHETTY- And here comes another Dostana girl! Shilpa Shetty Kundra has a body sculpted to perfection. Period. But when she swaddles herself in an itsy-bitsy swimsuit while grooving to the tunes of ‘Shut Up and Bounce’ all you can do is look at her unblinkingly while controlling yourself from slobbering.

4. SHRADHHA KAPOOR- Her face and frame both bill her as a typical happy-go- lucky, effervescent and exuberant girl-next- door whom you would have always wanted to ask out for a date but couldn’t summon the courage to. But when the livewire Shraddha sports a swimsuit (with an enviable bralette) not only do you get an impetus to modify your beach wardrobe majorly but also you are left gasping for more.

5. KIARA ADVANI- The Fugly actress ensured that she took all her fans by surprise as she posed in a black swimsuit for the magazine cover of Maxim India February 2015. Kiara Advani’s sensual avatar here certainly grabs one’s eyeballs.

6. ESHA GUPTA- The Desi Angelina Jolie- Esha Gupta oozed seduction, magnetism and appeal as she swaddled herself in an itsy-bitsy swimsuit for Elle Magazine. The cover of the magazine reads “Esha Gupta in summer’s sexiest swimwear”. After having a look at it, one cannot help but nod almost hypnotically in approval.

7. JACQUELINE FERNANDEZ- Sri Lankan import and former beauty queen- Jacqueline Fernandez unleashed her sensual and sultry facet as she sent the carnal interests of one and all into a tizzy with her audacious and alluring swimsuit appearances in Murder 2. She certainly raised the visual appeal of the thriller by a few notches, we say!

Editor’s Note: I saw the movie yesterday and Katrina looked fab, the only good thing to see in the terrible movie :p She looked mesmerizing in that hot pink bikini with voluminous, blow dried hair and that tan! Also Esha Gupta and Shilpa Shetty can rock anything! Super hot bods! Agree on PC too, that gold bikini scene is unforgettable 😀

Best Off Screen Looks of Parineeti Chopra

By Nidhal

For years she had been targeted for two things. One, her weight. Two, her questionable and distasteful sense of raiment. Never did she buckle down once for either. Over the years, not only has Parineeti Chopra’s weight has become the talking point of Tinsel-town (dare you say that she’s out of shape. The vivacious lady looks drop-dead gorgeous in her chiselled avatar and what better than she working out for what she wanted instead of positing excuses?) but also her sartorial sense has ameliorated. We see Chopra Junior experiment and hit the bullseye quite often these days. So, let’s have a rundown of some of the Best Off-screen Looks of Parineeti Chopra 🙂

1. ON ‘LOOK WHO’S TALKING’- Swaddled in a black top from Zara and a red paint splatter skirt from The Source, Chopra Junior shot for an episode of Look Who’s Talking. She accessorised her look with a jeweled statement necklace and sported a pair of gorgeous Jimmy Choos. This look surely gets a thumbs up, Parineeti!

2. BOHEMIAN VIBES AT A STORE LAUNCH– Clad in denim shorts with a pink tee and floral cape that Parineeti teamed with nude wedges and multi-layered neck pieces, the Ishaqzaade actress made heads turn for all the right reasons at the H&M store launch in Noida. Not a lot many women can carry a bohemian look and Parineeti clearly does not fall in that category. The chirpy Chopra looks effortlessly sassy and easy on the eyes.

3. IN AN ANARKALI- Swathed in a beige anaarkali with the picture-postcard locales of Jaipur in the backdrop, Parineeti looks gorgeous minus gaudy (and that’s difficult to look as anarkalis tend to be opulent hence, chances of one looking gaudy are high if not carried/accessorised well). The young ‘Dawat-e- Ishq’ heroine delineates exquisiteness here, doesn’t she?

4. IN MUSKAAN GOSWAMI– Swathed in a blazer dress by Intrinsic by Muskaan Goswami, Parineeti Chopra dazzled on the red carpet of the HT Style Awards. One usually doesn’t go minimalistic when attending red carpet events that showcase more of bling and glitz; however Chopra Junior doesn’t go by the book. And who doesn’t love that rebellious streak of hers?

5. GOING PLAYFUL- Clad in a burgundy embellished blouse from Kanika Goyal that was paired with high-waisted shorts, Parineeti attended an event for a brand. Accessorising with caged heels and an oversized hat, she redefined the art of comfy dressing. We are swooning, Chopra Junior.

6. ON THE SETS OF KBC 8- Swaddled in a peplum style blue dress to promote Daawat-E- Ishq on Kaun Banega Crorepati, Parineeti topped the dress with a chunky statement necklace by The Source. She rounded off her look with black booties by Steve Madden. Now that is called chic dressing!

7. IN A TAREK SINNO GOWN- Swathed in a flared embellished gown by Tarek Sinno for the Zee Cine Awards 2016, the effervescent actress accessorised her look with petite baubles by Farah Khan Ali and shoes by Heel & Buckle. Nude makeup along with a braided hairdo completed her ethereal look.

Top 10 Most Good Looking Pakistani Men: Part 2

By Nidhal

Sometimes, a part two becomes indispensable say- in case of your favourite flick that left you wanting for more after it ended and the same can be extended to admiring the looks of men across our border 🙂 With Top 10 most good looking Pakistani men, I brought to you the most famed, easily-identifiable and unquestionably charismatic Pakistani men- a great many of whom you would have feasted your eyes to on TV or in flicks. With Top 10 Most Good-Looking Pakistani Men: Part 2, here’s to those heartthrobs who are just as good as the previous ones though not as easily identifiable to an average Indian “yet”. Shall we begin pampering our eyes then?

1. EMMAD IRFANI- *Drool *Sigh *Slobber that’s what this 36 year old model from Peshwar is desirability-personified. With features chiselled to perfection and piercing gaze that sets one motionless, here is to this hot property who is every inch a Greek God.

2. MOHSIN ABBAS HAIDER- A gifted singer who’s foraying into Lollywood (Pakistan’s film industry) with “Teri Meri Love Story”, Mohsin is the classic example of the adage- Where there is a will, there is a way. Faced with countless obstacles in the inception of his journey in the field of professional arts, he persevered and how! Thankfully, he did else we wouldn’t have treated our ears to his soulful a capellas. ‘Zameen-O- Zaman” and “Wo Su-e- lalazar’ being my earworms. Not to forget, doesn’t have typical chocolate boy looks? He’s married so, kindly do not set on hypothetical voyages

3. SAMI KHAN- A thorough gentleman at first sight, Sami Khan set his foot in the Pakistani entertainment industry in the year 2004 but it was in 2011 that he bagged his first Best Actor award at the 16 th PTV Awards. Doesn’t he look devastatingly good-looking?

4. ADEEL HUSSAIN- There’s a glint of mischief in the eyes of this innocent-looking 38 year old Pakistani actor- Adeel Hussain who is best known for his roles in Daam, Mata-e- Jaan Hai Tu, Mohabat Subh Ka Sitara Hai and Mera Naseeb. His performance in the recent Pakistani flick “Ho Mann Jahan” earned him a lot of fanfare and rightly so.

5. AFFAN WAHEED- Cuteness is appositely his epithet. Watching him with sheep’s eyes as he recites soul-stirring shayaris in Urdu would melt you without a doubt! 31 year old Affan Waheed is best known for his roles in Main Bushra and Aik Pal.

6. SHEHROZ SABZWARI- The doting father of Noorain and husband of the chirpy Syra Yousuf, Shehroz Sabzwari is your typical high-school crush who’d bring back memories of those days in the twinkling of an eye. Best known for his role in the film Khulay Aasman Ke Neechay directed by Javed Sheikh, he is textbook definition of a chocolate boy.

7. SIKANDER RIZVI- A man’s desirability hits roof top if he happens to concoct lip-smacking cuisines. And if that man is inherently blessed in the looks department, the combo becomes fatal. Sikander Rizvi is a Pakistani film actor and chef, known for playing the lead role in the romantic comedy Dekh Magar Pyar Se along with Humaima Malick. Not only that, he owns a café in Karachi which makes him don another hat besides being an actor!

8. MOHIB MIRZA- It’s by a quirk of fate that this debonair actor forayed into acting. As a student, he ran out of funds to pay the fees for the nest semester, so he along with this friends began a theatre company og their own called “Dramybazz” . They wrote and staged a play “One way ticket”, which ran in PACC for 7 days receiving an overwhelming response. Mohib, as a result earned thrice the amount he needed to fund the next semester. Soon TV followed and recently he was seen as the male protagonist in the Pakistani flick “Bachana” opposite Sanam Saeed which garnered rave reviews.

9. SHAHZAD NOOR- A charismatic Pakistani model and actor- Shahzad Noor won two Best Model Male awards at 10th Lux Style Awards and 14th Lux Style Awards respectively. He received three consecutive nominations at Hum Awards as Best Model Male, winning one.

10. USMAN MUKHTAR- A Pakistani director, producer, and actor rolled into one- Usman Mukhtar is one of the few independent directors based out of Islamabad, Pakistan. Doesn’t he remind you strongly of Johnny Depp from Pirates of the Caribbean? Captain Jack Sparrow, we are swooning already.

Best Red Carpet Looks of B-Town Ladies

By Nidhal

The stage is set. The gruelling hours put in rehearsals are waiting to throw results. The awards are ready to make someone’s day. Film award ceremonies in India, no matter rigged or genuine, do provide a wide gamut of entertainment besides evincing the knack (or at times, unfortunately the lack of it) in fashion of our Tinseltown celebrities. So, on that note let’s take a look at the best red carpet looks of Bollywood ladies who sashayed in sheer panache and let everyone bewitched.

1. KRITI SANON – This newbie has definitely caught the fancy of fashionistas with her simple, subtle but stunning fashion sense. Seen her is Kriti Sanon all decked up in an orange gown with almost zero accessories and a neatly done hairdo on the red carpet of Star Guild Awards 2016. The look is as simple as it gets but catches ones eyeballs. Who said simple cannot be stunning? Kriti is here to refute it and how!

2. PRIYANKA CHOPRA- Often hailed as a fashionista, Priyanka Chopra floored one and all on the red carpet of Oscars 2016 when she opted for this white embellished strapless gown by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad. With her hair pulled into a subtle pony with a centre part, she walked the ginormous red carpet with panache.

3. AISHWARYA RAI BACHCHAN- Miss World 1994 opted for a strapless Oscar de la Renta gown in maroon at Cannes Film Festival 2015. Often accused for committing major style blunders in the past when it came to Cannes, Aishwarya nails it with this look. Smittten? Who wouldn’t be? 🙂

4. SHRADDHA KAPOOR- With such a cherubic and angelic face as hers, it would be difficult to look unprepossessing. On the green carpet of IIFA 2015, Shraddha Kapoor grabbed all the limelight for this simple strapless black gown that complemented her petite frame well. With a dazzling smile, minimal makeup and accessories, Shraddha looked a million bucks.

5. DEEPIKA PADUKONE- Mark my words- If there is any list on the most gorgeous/fashionable/elegant ladies, it’d be incomplete if she doesn’t make an appearance. Deepika Padukone glows effulgently in this elaborate and embellished Sabyasachi saree. With her hair done in a neat bun and a heart-warming smile, Deepika set a number of hearts fluttering (mine included) 🙂

6. KAREENA KAPOOR KHAN- Sashaying down the red carpet of Filmfare Glamour & Style Awards in a lemon colour Roberto Cavalli gown, the Begum of Pataudi- Kareena Kapoor Khan delineated the art of effortless dressing.

7. ANUSHKA SHARMA– There is a vibe of chirpiness, effervescence and a-girl- next-door surrounding this leggy lass who stepped into the glitzy world of Bollywood opposite SRK with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in 2008 which makes her likeable. Not to forget, she was a model before switching over to acting so, her dressing sense has to be impeccable (as we expect naturally). Seen here is this towering lady swaddled in a light yellow Gauri and Nainka gown, which at the Vogue Beauty Awards. Dreamy, we say!

Editor’s Note: I had attended the Vogue Beauty Awards last year and saw Anushka Sharma in person, her gown was beautiful! Also Aishwarya’s dress is one of my favourites! Kriti’t gown is oh so striking, love orange! I think I love all 😀

Best B-Town Showstoppers

By Nidhal

The glitzy and glamorous world of Tinseltown throws ample opportunities to B-town ladies (and men alike) to showcase their stylish best. While designers have a major role to play here yet, there is certainly no denying that one needs to have that X-Factor to carry apparel with panache. After all, one should not let clothes wear him/her but bring their own charm and je ne sais quoi to the attire

On that note, let us have a glance at those B-town ladies who strut with panache on the ramp donned in the most chic apparel.

1. KANGANA RANAUT- Some people despite swaddled in the snazziest possible attire, fail to make a mark. Not Kangana Ranaut. Ever. This curly-haired lady is as fashionable as amazing an actor she is. Almost always in the good books of the Fashion Police, Kangana manages to send the audience into a tizzy every time she sashays in designer outfits on the ramp. Seen here is this powerhouse performer walking the ramp in Mumbai as the showstopper for Vero Moda Marquee. And she exudes aplomb!

2. DEEPIKA PADUKONE- A celebrated model and an equally renowned heroine of late, this leggy lass commenced her career in the showbiz by walking the ramp for a number of designers including some industry big shots. Seen here is Deepika swaddled a beautiful midnight blue bridal lehenga. The lehenga had zari zardosi embroidery all over. She walked the ramp for ace Indian designer Manish Malhotra showcasing his collection at the Delhi Couture Week. Noticeably, the collection was inspired by 1930’s. The colour palette includes deep shades like wine red, olive green, royal blue, mustard and gold. The collection has old vintage and royal look to it.

3. KATRINA KAIF- She looks as ethereal as a Greek Goddess as she struts the ramp for ace Indian designer Tarun Tahiliani’s spring-summer 2016 line. Inspired by the nomadic beauty of the Kutch desert tribes. Katrina and Aditya looked smouldering hot in the ace designer’s SS16 collection.

4. NARGIS FAKHRI- That pout sends all the selfie-addicts into a tizzy, doesn’t it? 😛 Nargis Fakhri is another top model who has walked the ramp time and again for ace designers. Seen here is the glamorous Nargis sashay the ramp in a Anushree Reddy lehenga-choli at LFW Winter Festive 2014. Her natural radiance adds to the beauty of the attire, doesn’t it? 🙂

5. SONAM KAPOOR- She is a Fashionista. Period. Swaddled in unarguably the most high-end designer outifts, Sonam makes sure all the eyes are on as she sashays the ramp every time. Seen here is Sonam decked in opulent jewellery from head to toe while beaming radiantly as she walked the ramp at IIJW 2013.

6. PRIYANKA CHOPRA- ‘Desi Girl’ has been the title that is aptly conferred on her. Looking jaw-dropping in this gorgeous lime green sari paired with a dove grey strappy blouse, PC walked the ramp for ace designer Manish Malhotra at LFW Summer/Resort 2013 Day-1. The sari boasted a delicate sequinned border and a slash of fuchsia across the border of the pallu. Side-swept waves and a rose pink lippie completed her look. Boy! I can stare shamelessly at her back unblinkingly 🙂

7. JACQUELINE FERNANDEZ- Sashaying down the ramp at LFW Day-2, Jacqueline’s million dollar smile lit up the stage as much as the shimmery bridal lehenga that she donned. She was swaddled in a glittering lehenga, fully embroidered long sleeved choli and net dupatta, along with beautiful jewellery to complement her look. She walked the ramp for top shot designer Anju Modi.

Editor’s Note: I had seen that Anushree Reddy show live and Nargis looked beautiful, that lehenga was breathtaking too!
