And then there was the Lakme Fashion Week Finale. SOOOOOoooooo much fun (and even worth the nearly two-hour wait)! It was basically one giant disco party with a cracked glass runway and bling to the max. The best bit of course was a killer combo of the Midival Punditz and Shai’r & Func spinning up a [...]

While I was at Fashion Week I ran into this really funky crew of artists/dancers at the Grey Goose lounge and was intrigued when they told me they’ve even featured in Anurag Kashyap’s movie Dev D. (yup that trippy-trio at the bar during Abhay Deol’s drinking binge to the tunes of Pardesi) which I LOVED. [...]

So I knew Akon was coming to India to perform but I had no idea it was for a sangeet! (Can everyone stop making fun of Shah Rukh Khan for dancing at weddings now? Thank you very much.) I guess Kanye West opened up that million dollar baby for American rappers and their myriad ridiculously [...]

My second day at Lakme Fashion Week was even more colorful and celebrity-studded than the first and I think on that front I’ll just let the videos do the talking! Clearly everyone thought it was just priceless that MissMalini is taking video bytes about Malini Ramani’s show :) but curiously enough the two people I [...]

Did I tell you how psyched I was that MissMalini was officially invited to blog about Lakme Fashion Week? Holla I have arrived! Ok so I could pretend to know all about fashion but really I’d feel like a bit of a con job. So how about I take you through my first day at [...]

I’ve been trying to get to the bottom of this for some time now. What’s it really like behind-the-scenes in the fashion world? I plan to find out at Lakme Fashion Week but I figured I’d also do a little Bollywood research! So you remember the movie “Fashion” right? I thought it would only be [...]

Sorry Deepika looks like Kat’s got the cream again! Bollywood’s latest buzz is that, Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor will be seen together, once again in Ashtvinayak’s next untitled film to be directed by Imtiaz Ali. Their chemistry in ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahini’ was evident (plus there is more than enough curiosity among the [...]

Like I said, I’ve learnt my lesson. No more loitering in the lounge while the star does his makeup! That’s how I ended up watching Manish Malhotra’s show from the bar instead of the front row last time! (Although I more than made up for it at the post-party where it was glitterati central.) Woohoo [...]

Saturday night’s star-studded ceremony featured some of Bollywood’s biggest acts with of course a shimmering parade down the red carpet first! Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan returned as the masters of ceremony along with Karan Johar (clearly the trio are a well-oiled machine.) The winners included; Best Film and Best Director (Rajkumar Hirani) [...]

Suchitra Pillai read passages from the novel “Back Seat” by Aditya Kripalani at an event hosted by Shamita Singha over the weekend at Crossword Bookstore in Bandra, Mumbai. Shamita says that what she likes best about the book, “is the fact that it’s characters,  situations and backdrop feel so real and well described that at [...]
