Bollywood stars rock TOIFA (Times of India Film Awards) in Vancouver

Image
(HELLO INDIA: Nimisha Tiwari interviews Premier of British Columbia, Christy Clark) BOLLYWOOD LINGERS : Vancouver in British Columbia came alive in front of my eyes on April 4,5 and 6 of the year 2013. A crowd that was so overwhelming as they sat in the BC Place complex (the same stadium where Winter Olympics was organised back in 2000). As Bollywood stars including Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif, Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan, Chitrangda, Priyanka Chopra, Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and others made their way on the red carpet and fans went into a frenzy, the energy of TOIFA was to be seen to be believed. I loved every bit of my time there and just so love the warmth of Canadians , who respect Indians from their heart. Here's the link to Times of India Film Awards (TOIFA) in its maiden showcase in Vancouver, 2013. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhmlVmcRYtE NIMI SAYS : What do you think...

Red Hot on Valentine's Day - Who rocks it?

Image
Bollywood hot steppers Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and Bipasha Basu look drop dead gorgeous in RED - The colour of love. But who rocks it the most... NIMI SAYS: Kareena Kapoor's post marriage look is striking. She wears red lipstick, red sindoor and also a red Manish malhotra chiffon saree with great elan. 9/10 to Bebo . Katrina Kaif tries to hoodwink red with shades of pink. Perhaps to add a youthful glow that she already boasts of, rather naturally. But red tires her, so it seems. 7/10 to Kat. Deepika Padukone often takes a hint of red in her drapes to her accessories and definitely on to her lips . I quite like it on her. But it adds age to this youngista. A li'l darma to the big eyes will really glam it up. 8/10 to dimply Deeps. Priyanka Chopra looks exceptional in nude, silver and black hues. Red is too bold for her petite body type. She is the cutie Desi Girl , nevertheless. 7/10 to Priyanka. Bipash

Shah Rukh Khan's words on Being a Khan - Dil Se!

Image
Download the original attachment Outlook Turning Points 2013 [Published By The New York Times] On the misconstrued inference, SRK let out an impactful, touching statement on Being a Khan!   According to me, all our lives we are defined by three identities. Two of which are fortunately acquired by birth and are a matter of unconditional love and acceptance. The first identity is acquired by where one is born. Our Motherland. That defines us. So foremost all of us here like me are proud Indians. Second the family name and upbringing that our parents give us. Mine is Khan, like some of us here. I am very proud of my parents, like all of us are here. I love them unconditionally. The third is the profession we choose that defines us. By some quirk of fate I am a celebrity… a public figure in the fields of art and media. Like most of us are here today. As I said being an Indian and my parents’ child is an unconditional accepted truth of my life a

Playboy launches exotic India Bunny

Image
For all my male friends who have been lusting about Playboy India bunnies, this post is dedicated to you all. Think Playboy , and the first thought would be about wild, raunchy, alcohol-laced parties with pretty women and desirous men. Right? Well, wrong. The brand Playboy is a big player in the entertainment and hospitality industry. And not the magazine, but the apparel and fashion brand has forayed into the India market. My excited friend says, "Not the magazine? What a bumme r." INDIA-INSPIRED BUNNY : It was tough for Playboy Bunny to look sensuous and yet not get too provocative for the Indian market. So, Andhraiite designer Mohini Tadikonda based in New York used her design sensibilities and ushered a clearly great Indian saree-inspired bunny outfit . Lo! The Indian bunny is exotic and yet not raunchy. Kudos to Mohini! PLAYBOY APPAREL : Dressed to the T, Mathrew Nordy (standing in the middle in pic below) is the Executive VP and Chief Revenue Officer of

Bikini fun on Goa shores - India Resort Fashion Week 2012 wows

Image
Bikinis, cover-alls, boy shorts, straw hats and beachy sandals ... sounds fun already, isn't it? Taking this maxim ahead was the second edition of India Resort Fashion Week (IRFW 2012 ) right on the shores of Candolim Beach in Goa . PARIS HILTON TIME : I couldn't resist watching a fashion show, replete with backstage chaos, music, choreographer stand-off point, cameramen stall and front row jazz - all in place yet happening on a ramp built on sand. At the second edition of India Resort Fashion Week, it was finale designer couple Falguni and Shane Peacock who convinced me to watch it all. Their showstopper was American celebrity deejay-socialite Paris Hilton . Apart from her, world-renowned deejays playing alongside the ramp area was too good to miss out on. (Of course, some coordination hiccups did arise of sleepy drivers refusing to pick invitees on time and problems on entering the nightclub area with +1 guests). I LIKE : Anupamaa Dayal's

Fashionable Men we Love

Nimi says: All the men we love gotta have some signature fashion sense Move over Bollywood biggies including Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan . The cine scene in India is already boasting of some fashionable young men, who don't like to play safe with their looks. Keyword: Experimental. And women love that . Josh Duhamel aka Danny Mc Coy of Las Vegas show: Spiky short hair, chiseled chest and looks that can kill. Love his boyish charm . Ashton Kutcher: Man-o-man. He's only grown cuter post his split with wife Demi Moore . Quite dishy, what with the cleft chin. Unkempt, unstressed look. Like the play of blue on him. Imran Khan: Met him in New Zealand and spent many days during his film shoot of I Hate Luv Storys. His wife Avantika has a say in his style and I like the tweed jacket that he pull off over a slim-fit white or pink shirt. PS: He must stop wearing those coloured printed socks though. Rohit Bal: Lotus man, who's as soft sp
