You will find many white outfits in my wardrobe with a bit of bling on them. I like to wear clothes with stylish cuts rather than embellishments.

I am very fond of accessories and like to match them with my outfits. My favourite is a white shimmery batua purse that I usually sport with my salwar kameezes or other Indian outfits.

I don't like jazzy stuff or too much bling and so most of my accessories are simple in style. I have a few pairs of nice shining danglers and hoops, which are studded with diamonds or coloured stones.

A nice pair of earrings is a must for any party. If you wear one dazzling pair, you need not wear any other piece of jewellery.

I prefer footware with two-three inches of heels. I have a major shoe fetish and you will find heels in every colour in my wardrobe, right from black to red to golden.

My favourite is a pair of white heels that I wear with my dresses. I like gowns, but ones with a straight cut or knee-length ones.

Bollywood is soon going to release a flick entitled Aisha starring Sonam Kapoor and Abhay Deol that promises to manifest high end contemporary fashion. The pretty Sonam Kapoor would usually be seen wearing soft and flowery dresses.

Her attire would also include a nude tulle florid print that would also have a cute little bow and a few small pearls. These delightful outfits used in the film are courtesy Ayesha Depala, the well-known Dubai-based fashion designer.

According to the fashion designer Deepla, she has created the attires in accordance with the character of the film. In the film, Aisha Kapoor portrays the role of a Delhi girl who has a progressive sense of style and fashion.

She loves animals as much as she loves her clothes and has an unpretentious feminine side. The character, claims Deepla, helped her with the designs, since she could create a particular relation to it.

She further adds that Sonam's role 'Aisha' is quintessentially the brand image that she portrays through her fabric. She claims that subtlety and a person's character are reflected through her clothes and Sonam fits the 'brand-image' with flair and panache (less)

Sonam used the break to spend time with her sister Rhea. Sonam, who is in New York, says she hasn't had much time for shopping.

She muses, "I have been chilling only reading, watching shows, meeting people for lunches, watching movies..

The actor who is known for some great comic performances and timing says that he finds humour in every aspect of his life, except work. "I am dead serious about it," he says.

Tusshar lists down some of his funny experiences: I was once coming out of a theatre with a friend, when the usher came to me with a piece of paper. I thought he was asking for an autograph and was about to sign it, when he said "Sir, this is your bill.

You have to pay Rs 80 to the theatre, which is pending from the last time you saw a film here!" Frankly, I was quite taken aback. Then, I fished out my credit card, but he told me that the theatre didn't accept credit cards.

Whenever I remember that incident I laugh a lot because the guy totally dented my cool dude image (laughs out loud). My friend Lovely had come down to Ooty, where I was shooting recently.

One day, Ajay (Devgn), Arshad (Warsi), Kunal (Khemu) and I got the housekeeper to open his (Lovely's) hotel room in his absence and ransacked it like robbers do as a prank. Obviously he freaked out when he saw the condition of his room, but took it quite sportingly when we told him the truth.

I have a seven-year-old fan who happens to be a friend's nephew. After watching Golmaal, he thought that I was dumb in real life.

Of course, people told him that it wasn't true and that I could speak fluently, but he wasn't convinced. So one day, my friend brought him home to meet me and asked him to say hello to me.

He started arguing with her right there saying that she was fooling him. I was in splits.

It was only when I finally spoke for ten minutes did he believe that I could actually talk!?? There's another funny incident associated with Ramoji Film city. I was once shooting for a film there and I remember that the entire crew was totally sleepless the first night there.

The reason? Well, the WCs in the toilets of the hotel rooms flushed all?? night without anyone actually using the toilet. I am a deep sleeper, so none of it affected me.

But it was quite funny to see the rest of the cast and crew hunting for a plumber in the middle of the night.?? WHERE: At his Juhu residence I was once coming out of a theatre with a friend, when the usher came to me with a piece of paper.

" Well he's right, his films are hysterical and if you have even a little funny bone, you'll laugh. He didn't get two back-to-back comic successes by making people cry and critics don't count as 'people'.

The bigger question is how did he pitch the script to convince his actors to work on a film which no doubt sounds absurd on paper? "I just tell them listen, your last two films haven't done well, do you want a hit? (laughs) I don't care about critics. This movie will be a hit, you'll be liked, your price will go up, your fan following will go up, so they say OK.

She's also said, "Waiting for the IPL to finish so i can go for a holiday and then get back to movies! I need to re inspire myself and recharge my batteries!" Well, the IPL tournament ends in about two weeks, let's see if Preity's team makes it all the way to the end or not.

adfgafggdfgdaLooks like Preity Zinta's IPL team Kings XI Punjab is finally playing like a team. They scored a masterful victory over the Delhi Daredevils at the match played in New Delhi today (April 11), winning by seven wickets.

First they restricted the Delhi team to just 111 runs, and then reached 112 for the loss of just three wickets in 18.4 overs.

Preity's team is still at the bottom of the points chart, but they now have four victories from 12 matches played. Preity was at the stadium cheering her team today, wearing her customary Kings XI red T-shirt and light blue jeans, and a team cap to top it all.

While spokesperson of F Bar and The Park didn't comment on the visit, an employee from LAP confirmed the same. Imtiaz was sporting a jeans and shirt while Ranbir was wearing a jeans, T-shirt and a baseball cap.

Co-produced by Eros International Media Ltd and Shri Ashtavinayak Cine Vision, the movie's story is said to be inspired by the lives of rockstars. Ranbir Kapoor and director Imtiaz Ali were spotted club hopping in Delhi Wednesday and sources claim it was part of location hunting for their next film "Rockstar".

"Imtiaz and Ranbir went to F Bar, LAP (actor Arjun Rampal owned club) and then checked out Agni (bar) and Aqua (lounge bar) at The Park hotel," a well-placed source said. "They are probably planning to zero in on a club like place for the shooting of their next," the source added.

Increasingly more and more 50-pluses are registering themselves on social networking sites. Take a closer look.

B for big: What’s age got to do with it, right! Big Bachchan was one of the first senior celebrities to start blogging and now he has already garnered 37,477 followers after he joined Twitter, beating the Badshah Khan who had managed 23,333 followers two days after he signed in. Sample Big B’s enthusiasm and his support for Team India’s cricketers, “After Dhoni, now attacking players going to restaurant.

. Oh come on ! They are young men! What u expect, they sit in room and play ‘footsie’!” The man is still young at heart, you see! And well, well, his tweets are not just about his son landing and his wife (Jaya) watching a reality TV show and he himself singing along, Big B has shown his humourous side too.

Check these out: “DAY 1 on twitter, DAY 757 on blog, DAY 138 from the year..

. endless days of love and affection to those that count and follow .

.love”.

Senior Bachchan is also trying to perfect his online skill. “Someone said my home page picture was compressed.

Tried straightening it - all i could manage was straighten my bow tie !! Inputs ??” Lend your help guys! ‘Jay’a Ho: Not too far behind is wife Jaya Bachchan who also joined Twitter on Tuesday. Unlike hubby dear, Jaya has just her son and hubby following her.

And all she has tweeted so far is, “Wid my daughter-in-law, trying to teach her cook bengali food..

. Khichuri.

.”.

One does, however, need to say kudos to her spirits for catching up with the younger trend of social networking interactivity activity. Jai Ho! Yaaa hoooo’s back: It was the legendary ‘Ya hoooo’ star Shammi Kapoor who was one of the first of his generation to start tweeting.

His joining Twitter, however, was not much of a news than asking actress Deepika Padukone out for a cuppa coffee. And the lady in question of course, politely obliged.

He also made it a point to connect with most stars including SRK, Lara Dutta, Priyanka Chopra, Reteish Deshmukh, Katrina Kaif, Preity Zinta, Imran Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan, and more. In fact, he was vocal in expressing his disappointment when Twitter was hacked recently resulting in sudden loss of followers, “I seem to have lost all my buddies'” The yesteryear actor tweets just not about his health issues for the man still feels and talks young.

“And yes I am still the Mac Mac man and have all the Pads”. Read these as well: @thekatrinakaif Hi pretty girl long time no see.

Love @juniorbachchan How come tere mere beech mai no twit no tea no coffee. Love u @deepikapadukone.

Morning love. How are thee.

Only get to see you in Mallaya match. Another cuppa another day? What say you.

” Take lessons from this man! Shukr hai Shabana hai: The versatile actress Shabana Azmi is well versed online. From films to politics to family, she voices her opinion on each with utmost straight forwardness.

“It is heartening that Javed has recvd support from within the muslim community for decrying the fatwa that m women can’t work alongside men” — that’s a wife in support of her husband. “Zoya’s film to start early June with Hrithik Farhan Abhay katrina and kalki.

She is off to Spain till sep. Had a farewell dinner for her.

.” — that’s the mother in her.

“85pc of pregnant women in India and 80 pc children under 3 suffer from anaemia. Experts say double fortified salt (iron + iodine) works.

” — a socially active person that she is. “Hw do u judge an actor? u can rate a performance but A super Hamlet can play a disastrous Othello.

Versatility is the hallmark of a good actor.” — that’s the actor.

Great going! ‘Ad’ding zing: The witty man ad guru Prahlad Kakkar likes to keep it short when it comes to tweeting. He is not constantly available online, posting tweets after tweets, but when he does post, his statements, though short, are clear.

“My name is Kakkar, hope no one has an issue with this” — remember the famous Shah Rukh Khan-My Name is Khan-Shiv Sena controversy? Also remember he is a man with a creative bent of mind, so don’t try too hard if you can’t fathom his tweets or just be a little more creative, “New week, new day, new hour, funny how people think that makes a difference when in reality every second is a new year. DO IT NOW.

.dont wait.

” And this one is not to disappoint the youth — “Youth is easily deceived, because it is quick to hope.” Take it in good spirits and you will find sense in it.

Got it already? Sssshhhh Mahesh! This man has faced the axe often for being too open about his concerns for our neighbouring country but when it comes to tweeting, Mahesh Bhatt chooses to be careful with words. He makes his point nonetheless but ensures he sounds politically correct — “Belonging to a group can be comforting but not as comforting as learning to stand alone.

” Not too difficult to understand the understatement, is it? What about this one? “Overheard: In the India we grew up in, philosophers were celebrities. In the India of the 21st century, celebrities are philosophers.

” Mahesh does talk about films as well. “Psssst.

. Milian Luthria’s.

Once upon a time in Mumbai staring Ajay Devgan and Emran Hashmi is a winner! Heard its first promo is superb!” “The heart is wiser than the intellect. Remember, we are in the emotional exploitation business.

Films must move and touch the viewer.” That’s me! Just like her persona and the films she makes, she is either direct or absolutely silent on issues she does not want to comment.

There are no undercurrents. Aparna Sen takes tweeter as it is supposed to be, a platform to socialise with like-minded people.

She does occasionally give her opinions though — “Somehow can’t help feeling Tharoor was victimised. Will we ever know, I wonder?" And at times, she gets a little personal too — “How far would you go for love? I would break all rules - certainly for love of cinema! Also for love of a man.

..

well..

.maybe.

..

” The director in her of course, surfaces often when she talks about her films. “Rahul Bose took 29 days to dub for TJW, but boy, what a job he has done! As the director of the film, I am over the moon! Bravo Rahul !” No, that’s not all, the list goes on — Anupam Kher, Tina Ambani, Harsha Bogle, Pritish Nandy, Vijay Mallaya, Boman Irani (less)

He decided to have a combined bash to celebrate the response to the promos and his siblings' birthdays." Every year, Salman throws a big bash for his younger sister Arpita.

Last year it was at a five-star hotel near his house in Bandra but this time, the venue was a Juhu nightclub. The party was delayed by a few days as some of Arpita's close friends were not in town.

Adds the source, "Salman gives a free rein to Arpita and lets her decide everything from the menu to the venue and the guest list." Those who attended the party included Farah Khan, Sajid Khan, Sajid Nadiadwala, Riteish Deshmukh and Dabangg heroine Sonakshi with her parents Shatrughan and Poonam Sinha.

"The two were quite close. The actress kept leaning into him and as the photogs clicked away, became conscious of the attention she was drawing to herself, even as the guy held her close.

She eventually tried to shield her face from the glare of the flashbulbs", reveals an onlooker. When asked about the guy in the pictures, Lamba says, "He's a very good friend who was already at Ekta's party and came down to escort me inside.

The starlet reached the venue late by many hours and after unveiling a magazine cover featuring herself, she headed straight to the conveniences. However, instead of going into the ladies room, she chose the men's one and smoked a cigarette their.

After spending a good 20 minutes there, she came out and told the organisers that she cannot attend to the mediapersons as she was not well. When an organiser insisted, she remarked: "I can't stay.

I have some problem. It's a girls' problem.
