Genelia D'Souza's beautiful bride


It wasn't too long back when I met Bollywood actress Genelia D'Souza for an interview and picture shoot in Bandra, Mumbai for Christmas. Exuding with energy, she spoke of how muych the festival means to her because it brings her family together. She was a tomboyish girl in school, playing football, basket ball and more. One of the stylishly turned out actress we have in B-Town, I've liked her style of dressing her age. It's the effortlessness which stands out as the winning point.

On February 3, Genelia tied the knot in a typical Mahashtrian wedding with co-star Riteish Deshmukh, son of politico Vilasrao Deshmukh. And while I'm not too big on what marriage offers in the long run, especially ones which are arranged by parents and not by the girl and the boy themselves, I am often keen to see what look the bride wore... Not for the clothes and jewellery but also because of the healthy diet and regime the couple starts to follow (and soon enough unfollow).

Genelia's wedding was spread over many days, she chose many designerwear — Ritu Kumar's outfit for a puja, then Manish Malhotra's ensemble for sangeet, Neeta and Nishka Lulla's saree getup for the wedding and Shantanu and Nikhil gown for a church wedding.

Young designer Nishka Lulla, who styled her wedding look in a Paithani saree, was a bundle of excited nerves all the time. She was Genelia's first choice and Nishka did a great job. Neeta Lulla designed a kundan work blouse to team with the saree. And the bride glowed with happiness. Her fit frame made her look even more fabulous.

Genelia and Riteish dated for many years before tying the knot. Here's hoping others take a cue before taking a plunge.

The 'casting couch' is serious trouble for male models in India The Casting Couch is a reality. Not just for female models but also the males in India’s buzzing fashion industry. In a quest to make it big, acquire fame, money and a high-profile lifestyle, many male models face the rude reality of ‘talent hunts’ under the guise of ramp show auditions. While many such auditions are genuine, others are ‘indecent proposals’ or a fast dial way to make it on the ramp for big designers and then to the silver screen. Incidentally, under the scanner of late is model Sid Gupta (name changed) , assistant director in a recent Shah Rukh Khan film, who was given a shot on the ramp to open and close the KJo-Varun Bahl’s menswear show in Delhi and the India Couture Week in Mumbai. Fashion circles in both cities are abuzz with rumours about he being a toyboy for his godfather. Not just him, in the recent past model Inder Bajwa and then Lalit Trehan were rumoured to have been the boyfriends of d...

'What nudity? It's a free expression of art'

Choreographer and IPL fashion show coordinator Prasad Bidappa defends his expression of art — a calender of nude men, which leaked out in the public recently Prasad Bidappa was a hassled man recently as he prepared for the Indian Premier League 2011 show in Mumbai. Reason being: His hobby of exotic photography was costing him his reputation and ruining his sleep. Some of the pictures he had shot of nude males, which were sent to an exclusive friend list on email were mysteriously leaked out to in the public eye. Apart from hushed talks amongst the modelling circuit who are participating in Bidappa's own IPL fashion shows, a fashion blogsite too posted this incident as a scandal. Bidappa was unhappy, worried and restless. THE TALE: It was Sri Lankan photographer and artist late Lionel Wendt who's work inspired Bidappa for years. So, last year, Bidappa shot pictures of nude males in different sexual positions and compiled it for a select invitee list of friends. It was done wi...
