Akon’s in India: Dancing at Weddings?!

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 [...]

Shahin Badar on Pirate Radio

Everyone once in a while you’ll come across someone who’s super famous for something they did 10 years ago and before you “oh-so-last-decade them them you have to stop and respect the fact that people haven’t forgotten, that’s gotta be worth something yes?

A day in the life of MissMalini at Lakme Fashion Week!

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 [...]

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.

MissMalini Preps for Fashion Week!

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 [...]

Remember the last time you wrote a note?

All those memories have come flooding back suddenly and now I feel like going home and reading all the ones I’ve saved since high school… Thanks to @CardiffGarcia on Twitter I just stumbled upon another one of those amazing websites (like postsecrets.com) that you can spend hours prowling around. This one is called Letters of [...]

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.)
