Sania Maskatiya Luxury Pret Collection at TPFW 15

SANIA MASKATIYA:Through Spring/Summer range

Sania Maskatiya paid homage to the tailoring craft with both explorative

sensitivity and edgy flamboyance via her luxury Pret collection, ‘Kha-

yat – The Tailor’ at TFPW.

Another of her col-lections at TPFW15

consisted of plush colour palette from

the sedate to the snazzy, ‘Khayat - The

Tailor’. She used deluxe silks to util-

itarian denims as alternative canvases

on which flash imag-es from a kaarigar’s

workshop glided eloquently.

In one ofthe presentat-ions visible wereprint motifs such as tapemeasure, rolls of thread, but-tons, needles, ribbons and rope featured alongside near-neon paint splashes and geometric patterns. Sections of light em-broidery and vibrant graphic designs lifted both the texture and mood of each piece.

Valentino RTW Fall 2015 Collection

It takes confidence, not just a game sense of hu-mor, to close a show with the walkoff for which the world has been waiting 14 years: Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, in character as Derek Zoolander and Hansel, were the surprise final exits of Valenti-no’s fall show.

(Both modeled looks from Val-entino men’s.)The joke landed. The crowd lapped it up.

It was a fan-tastic, genu-inely funny moment that anyone who decided to skip the show was sure-ly sad they missed.

the end of the lineup. “Women can be multifac-eted,” said Chiuri backstage. “They can be muses, they can be artists. And our collections speak about this in a simple way.” Simple didn’t begin to cover it. The show opened with stark black-and-white graphics on a trench with vertically striped arms, a horizontally striped hem and a patchwork of checks and triangles on the body. Optically entrancing, the patterns played out on dresses and easy sweaters over full midiskirts that had immedi-

Werkstätte-style fashion. Both women brought rich, creative textile as-sociations to the table, of which Chiuri and Piccioli made incredible use. Birtwell also collaborated on the “funky” dragon that appeared toward

A lesser collection would have been outright upstaged, but the “Zoolander” spoof was a gen-erous bonus to an essentially perfect show. Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli are good sports, but they take fashion very seriously, continually raising the bar with imaginative decorative effects and deluxe fabrications within the airtight aesthetic language they’ve estab-lished. Two famous muses fueled this season’s fantasy: Celia Birtwell, the wife of Ossie Clark and muse to David Hockney, and Emilie Louise Flöge; best known as companion and fre-quent subject of Gustav Klimt, she was also a couturier of Wiener

ate impact. Considering the source material, the collection had a surprising amount of black, worked sparely on day-wear andopulently often em-broidered with gold and silver threadwork combination for evening events.

But there was ample color, too, in the subtle glimmer of gold on multicolored furs; a crimson red gown; burgundy, ice, pink and yellow lace arranged in crafty chevron patterns; the intense blue, red, black and gold of a geometric Viennese patterned gown. There were too many impressive, couture level treat-ments to list, all of them impec-cable.

The lurking criticism is that the delicately monastic silhouette the designers have become de-voted to need to evolve. But who can complain when the work is so exquisite? Besides, that point ignores the smart, ongoing expansion of their day range, and the fact that Chiuri and Piccioli did offer variation on their high-collared, long-sleeve, regal uniform for fall, tweaking proportions to give newness beyond nuance.

There were cropped midcalf cu-lottes and skirts the same length. Shoulders had capelet panels in the front and back, and high necks were graced with delicate bows tied to the side.

Gowns plunged into deep V-necks, point d’esprit shoulders and sheer bustlines framed with floral embroideries.

Romance turned sensu-al, heightening as the looks marched on. Then it all ended with a big laugh. The show satis-fied on every level.

Signs You Should See aDermatologist

When you can’t solve your skin issues with over the counter products, there’s no reason to avoid the dermatol-ogist.Besides recommending the right products, they can also help you figure out which skin care mistakes you might be making.

While there are many ways in which a consultation can be useful even without pressing problems, there are also a few clear signs you should see a dermatologist.

You’re Having Trouble with Itch-ing or Rashes:An over-the-counter cor-tisone cream can help with rashes, itching and inflam-mation, but when it doesn’t you have to get it checked out by a doctor. Flaking skin that doesn’t sort itself out quickly is another red flag that you could be dealing with a type of dermatitis. Get treatment sooner rather than later to prevent the problem from spreading.

You Can’t Get Rid of Acne:Trying over the counter prod-ucts to treat acne is usually recommended. But when you’ve been using good an-ti-acne products and the problem persists for more than 2 months, it’s time to let a pro advise you. You don’t need a prescription for an-ti-acne products with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, but your dermatologist might pick up on other factors you haven’t considered.

You’re Noticing Signs of Melasma:Dark skin discoloration caused by melasma is a prob-lem typically associated with pregnancy, but it’s can also be linked to contraceptives and hormone replacement ther-apy. If you’re seeing brown spots that couldn’t be caused by the sun (because you al-ways use sunscreen!), that’s one of the signs you should see a dermatologist. Melasma can quickly go away with the right laser treatments.

You’re Developing Sun Sensitivity:Having trouble with your skin because of sun exposure is definitely one of the signs you should see a dermatologist.

You might need to change your sunscreen.

If it’s not the only recent symptom, you might have to see another special, but get-ting your sunscreen sorted out first is definitely the top priority.

You’re Dealing with Stretch Marks and Cellulite:Many products claim to solve big problems like cellulite and stretch marks, but few can actually make a big difference. You can get recommenda-tions from your dermatolo-gist about what products to use, but you can also try laser treatments that reduce the appearance of stretch marks. You might be tempted to try a spa treatment for cellulite, but talk to a dermatologist first.

29

You’re Having Trouble with Scars:When you’re dealing with raised, deep or thickscars, over the counter products aren’t likely tohelp reduce their appearance as much as you’dlike. Raised and depressed scars can be treatedmore efficiently by a dermatologist withprocedures you can’t get at a spa.

You Can’t Get Rid of RedMarks:Whether they were caused by blemi-shes or acne, some red marks simplywon’t go away. Using antioxidantsand anti-acne products with salicylicacid can help, but if you don’t see anydifference after using them for twoweeks, that’s one of the signs youshould see a dermatologist. Lasertreatments can reduce their appear-ance or eliminate them.

You’re Noticing Signifi-cant Hair Loss:When your hair is falling out at analarming rate, it’s important to rule outany scalp problems. Unexpected hair loss isone of the signs you should see adermatologist.

The

HollywoodGlamour Look

The Eyeshadow:Use a brush to apply a pale eye shadow as a highlighter to the cheekbones and brow bone to accentuate the high points of the face. Use your fingers to pat on a shimmery, black cream shadow to create a cream base and then use a brush to sweep a black powder eye shadow over the top to create an intense, dark smoky look.

The Eyeliner:Apply a kohl black pencil to line the upper and lower lashes, then use a brush to smudge along the lash line creating high impact definition around the eyes.

A Pop of Colour:Use your fingers to dab a bold blue shadow right in the centre of the eyelids to add a pop of blue to

We show you how to create a modern Hollywood look that will give you perfectly contoured skin, voluminous lips and a modern smoky eye with a pop of colour.With awards season bringing back the glitter this year, Max Factor Australia head makeup artist, Liz Kelsh, has shared with us how to create a red-carpet Hollywood look.Bold eyes, pale glossy lips and a bronzed and a glowing complexion are essential.

The Base:Use a brush to apply foundation, starting in the t-zone and then blending outwards towards the hairline with fingertips. Follow with concealer under the eyes in a triangle shape to highlight and use fingertips to blend well.

The Bronzer:Brush bronzer along the sides of the nose, over the jawline, the cheekbones and a small amount on the forehead to shade and contour the face.

this smoky eye look. Focusing on the tips of the lashes, apply mascara to give this strong eye look a maximum impact. Finish the eye look with a dab of a shimmery copper to the inner corners of the eyes.

The Lips:Apply a nude lip liner to the outside of the lips to create a voluminous effect. Use a brush to sweep a brown toned nude lipstick across the lips, then add a gloss to the centre to make the lips look even fuller.

The Blush:To finish, add some colour to the cheeks by sweeping a luminous blush on the apples of the cheeks and blending out towards the temples.

Shoe Trends

Summer4Paging all shoe-lovers — and that’s all of us, right? The Summer ‘15 runways gave us a whole new crop of kicks to covet for this season. So what exactly do we have to look forward to? Designers emphasized wearability and ease, delivering flatforms and block heels, not to men-tion a selection of flats, dressed up with fringe and em-bellishment so you don’t even have to feel guilty about not wearing your heels. It’s all right here; just scroll for your preview of Summer’s new footwear.

39

1 - Woven Details:Whether crafted with a more natural look or made of more futuristic techni-color fabric, like the shoes at Alexander Wang, woven cropped up at some of our favorite designers, giving subtle di-mension to heels and Summer sandals.2 - Power Pumps:Pointed toes and high stiletto heels were still the mark of a great power pump. Summer ‘15’s iterations come with an-kle straps, slingbacks, too, and in every case, they’re still a sign of classic wom-anly dressing.

4 - Western Influence:With bold references, like spurs and the tougher, metal hard-ware at Marissa Webb, or more subtle influence, like the shape of the shoes at Victoria Beckham, Western-inspired kicks are having a moment.5 - Fancy Flats:Embellishments, feathered details, fringe, and multistrap buckles made Summer ‘ 15 sandals anything but average. These flats are dressy enough to wear right along with your party dress.

3 - All Laced Up:Whether they’re tied up around the ankle and even the calf, we’re already predicting that statement-making lace-up sandals will be any fashion girl’s must-have footwear.

6 - Colorblock:Two tones — sometimes even three — are better than one. That was the lesson with the colorblock sandals, ankle-straps, and slides that hit the runway.7 - Block Heels:Forget tall, spindly stilettos, the heel to have for Summer is a wide, supportive block heel. Feet, rejoice!

Exciting places are all over the world for tourism attraction, but each and every country and continent has their own rich culture preserved in the deep valleys, beautiful lakes, fascinating rivers and picturesque locations, which appeal to the passionate and lively cou-ples.

For instance, Taj Mahal was created in the remembrance of a loved one. This precious white monument must be visited several times of the year for experiencing the deep feelings of love and affection, due to the scenic art and architecture developed in the ancient times by Mus-lims of India, likewise the city of Heer Ranjha, Laila Majnu, Romeo and Juliet are among the

exciting spots to visit for an enthralling journey with your one and only darling.

Ways For Men To Nail

Time is going by, things are moving forward and so should your style. Looking like you did a few summers ago is boring and doesn’t inspire the kind of excitement that will draw good things your way. It’s the perfect time to get out of your com-fort zone and think about trying out some new summer outfits this year. No matter your budget or how much time you have to spare,

Summer Style

55

• Keep Your Body Hair In Check:Warmer weather means exposing more skin and more body hair. A lot of guys have excess body hair that needs to be groomed. Some body parts, like your back, are not negotiable, get it waxed. (Tip: Make sure there is no hair between your back and the line where your hair on your head begins. Unruly hairs creeping out from the back of your T-shirt is a turnoff.) Other body parts, however, like your chest, are negotiable; you’ll have to consider your preference, budget and what the woman in your life thinks. Major areas like your back and chest are well-suited for waxing. This video goes over what you need to know.

• Find A Signature Accessory:Summer fashion for men can get boring. Unlike women, who can wear dresses, skirts, high heels, etc., men are relegated to shorts and T-shirts. The answer to this challenge lies in acces-sories. A handkerchief worn as a pocket square, a vintage leather backpack -- these are acces-sories that give basic outfits more character. We think hats are a good choice for the summer because they protect your head and face from the sun. There’s a lot of room for error when choosing a hat, so we enlisted the help of our friend Mr. Mort to walk your through finding the perfect hat.

• Wear More Color:And by color, we don’t mean a lighter version of your blue jeans. Show of hands: How many of you only wear black, blue, white and gray? How boring. Dark colors looks jarring under the sun, so this summer, don’t be afraid to inject your wardrobe with some much-needed col-or. A pair of chinos, a button-down, a wallet, sneakers -- they all work as colorful alternatives to the usual rotation.

• Protect Your Skin: You know you’re suppose to wear sunscreen year round, right? And how many of you do? How many of you apply it to your face every day in the summer? That has to change, because you don’t want to put your health at risk and you don’t want to speed up the aging process. Look for a lightweight moisturizer that has SPF built in (SPF 30 or higher). Some also come with a built-in self-tanner, which will give you that awesome summer tan.

• Lighten Up:Think one cologne is enough? Think again. As the seasons change, so should your scent.Citrus-y scents work best in warmer weather, while spicy and woodsy notes are best for fall.

• Get A Haircut - Every Three Weeks:Ask a woman what she notices about a man, and hair, without fail, will be mentioned. How you wear your hair in the summer is arguably the most important time of the year to care, because it goes a long way in separating us from the rest of the T-shirt-and-shorts-wearing crowd.

Modern Bedroom Design Trends

The bedroom; one of the most sacred rooms of the house and one of the rooms where we spend the most time (even if it’s to merely sleep). It can also be one of the few rooms where you can design and decorate it to meet your particular tastes, and not have to worry what Tom, Dick and Harry thinks, as they’ll never see it. For couples, there needs to be a balance, a juggling act, sacrificing personal extremes and coming to an agree-ment on a design that works for both.

61

We at Freshome know the psycholog-ical effect and mental state a room canput one into; the colors, feel and energywhich it emits. It just so happens the bedroom is the first environment we are subjected to when our eyes open and it’s also the last image which we have when falling asleep.

A few of us here are interested in psychology

and we believe a healthy way to start the day is to wake up in

bedroom enviornment which stimulates positive mental energy,

which is the perfect spring-board to Carpe Diem the day with true pas-

sion and gusto.

Floral Wall Art:Extravegant and flamboyant floral wall art is fresh. There is something refreshing about the beauty of natural flow-ers (without wanting to sound too flowery). If you are a person who appreciates the intricacies and facinations of living world, a large wall painting or print could add that inspirational edge which your bedroom has lacked. Our personal preference is a professionally hand painted piece, however this comes at a price.Large prints are an acceptable alternative; so long as what you choose give you an extra bounce in your spirit when you look at it.

Gray, Soft Blacks and off Whites:Look for off blacks, grays and whites, all rolling back into each other like the greens of a forest fold back into each green. Take a visit to any of the interior de-sign or trade fairs this year and you’ll see this color palette prev-alent amongst vendors. Popular amongst vendors means in de-mand from customers.

Radiant Orchid:Rich and vibrant with life; just like the name sug-gests, radiant orchid is Pantone’s color choice. This palette is not for everybody, but as aforementioned, if this color energizes you, go for it as it’ll not only please your emotional heart strings, it’ll also please your mental faculties knowing you’re on the cutting edge of the latest interior design trends. Look to color walls, lampshades, floral art, rugs, patterned cushion, pillow, bed covering and uphol-stery covering and to finish off, add a ravishing live orchid as the cherry on the cake.

Natural Materials:Natural tones, wood features, metals, stone & brick. Use natural tongue and groove wooden panels, brick or brick veneer for walls. Use natural materials as features in the room such as the room below, where Murphy Code have used chunky thick planks of wood, show-casing the natural grooves and curves, which jumps out from the bed as a fea-ture on the wall behind, weaved around well place sconce lighting: Loving it.

Hotel Influence:Some will loathe this one, but hotel style bedrooms are edging their foot through the door of home bedroom design. Look for large roomy beds, extravagant, yet universal headboards, bringing in the practical elements such as bedside lighting, table and chairs and large windows to let in a lot of natural light.

TREE HOUSESThe concept of a treehouse started off with some old boards, nails and a rope ladder; built in the branches of the tree housed in the backyard by dad and his buddies. Treehouses have come a long way since then and around the world designers, architects and builders have taken the concept of living in the trees to a whole new level. Although you can’t spend the night in all of the tree-houses below; most of them feature incredible furnishings, amazing views and a uniqueness that sets them apart from “just your average treehouse”. From square to round to a hexagon; theses houses come in all different shapes and sizes. Whether you are looking to spend a romantic night un-der the stars with the breeze blowing softly or looking for a family friendly spot complete with zip lines and hik-ing trails; you will find a treehouse for you. From a restored airplane com-plete with a deck in place of the wing to a 3,300 square foot private mansion treehouse discover ten treehouses from Sweden to Costa Rica to Oregon that will absolutely blow your mind.

Wilkinson Residence, Oregon:This treehouse mansion is a whopping 3,300 square feet of indoor living space with an additional 500 square feet of outdoor space. The architecture is in-credible from the glass wall that wraps around the living room to the open spaces that allow for the light to flood in. The materials used in the house are mainly all natural and the owner had the place built to address the flow of music. The house is built on a sloping lot which allows the living space to sit in the forest can-opy. You can’t spend the night here as this is a private residence and the pictures truly don’t do this incredible treehouse justice; you truly have to see it to believe it.

Free Spirit Spheres, Vancouver Island:Three spherical treehouses are suspended in the coastal rainforest along Vancouver Island’s west coast; open 12 months a year and for adults only. These spheres are set amongst five acres of beau-tiful forest with a large pond in the center of the land, attracting plenty of wildlife. Each sphere is unique in what it offers; from power to amenities to the size of bed. Other than being amazingly unique; these treehouses offer guests a spiritual connection to nature as the spheres rock gently with the wind. Walkways, platforms and spiral staircases allow visitors to reach their personal sphere and if you don’t feel more inspired to do great things after staying a night here; we would be surprised.

The Mirrorcube, Sweden:Tucked up in the trees is a house that blends so deeply into the sur-rounding forest you will have to look twice to realize it is actually there. The Mirrorcube is camou-flaged by four walls that reflect the surroundings and thus creating a treehouse unlike any other in the world.

Lucky for the birds this mirrored house is covered with a special cov-ering that only birds can see, thus avoiding any accidents. But if we talk about the safety of this house than its not a wise desicion to keep this type of property or to live in these type of houses.

The inside is spectacular in itself with a double bed, bathroom, lounge and rooftop terrace. The six windows offer spectacular views and the treehouse can be reached by a bridge. A once in a lifetime opportunity awaits visitors in the country of Sweden high up in the trees.

Finca Bellavista, Costa Rica:This treetop paradise awaits visitors in Costa Rica and is actually a residential treehouse community where a select number of visitors can live out their dreams high in the treetops. From treehouses with sleeping lofts for the kids to ones filled with bright skylights to romantic two-pod homes; the choices are endless. The treehouses and buildings are connected by zip lines and platforms and this community offers hiking trails, waterfalls, snorkeling spots and rivers throughout. A 2-night min-imum is required here put in place so that visitors can truly get the authentic experience. Whether you want to stay in an octagon, square or multi-level treehouse.

Tongabezi Lodge Treehouse, Zambia:This gorgeous treehouse is tucked away in a huge ebony tree and offers an entirely open concept; complete with a claw foot tub that overlooks the Zambezi River. No outside walls ensure that visitors have access to the incredible surrounding views. The magnificent king size bed comes complete with canopied mosquito netting and is occupied on the middle level of the house. A few steps down the lounge area await and visitors will spend hours basking in the sun in the comfortable chairs that sit on the deck overlooking the river. West African art-work, Asian furniture and hand woven carpets all set the stage for a unique and stunning stay in this treehouse.

Beach Rock Treehouse, JapanThis treehouse is located on private land in Okinawa Japan and was originally built to commu-nicate with outer space. The design looks suited to do just that and this treehouse is said to be the plexiglass portal on the world. A combination of stairs and ladders is how one reaches the entrance to this round dome set high up in the trees. Although it is not known to have made contact with outer space; the treehouse is now a place for people to escape the hustle and bustle

of everyday life and relax in this space while exploring inner peace.

Chewton Glen Treehouses, EnglandPerhaps the most luxurious of the treehouses on this list are the ones located at Chewton Glen with floor to ceiling glass allowing guests to truly feel as though they are right in the heart of nature. These elegant suites are outfitted with separate bedrooms and living spaces, warm comfortable colors and beautiful furnishings. An outdoor hot tub, walk in shower, wood stove and flat screen TV’s are just a few of the luxury amenities that are available to guests. These stilted treehouses are privately located in the canopy of a forest and offer the ul-timate luxury for those wanting to spend a night in nature without sacrificing extravagance

and comfort. Bangkok Tree.

House, ThailandLocated just thirty minutes from the bustling city of Bangkok is a place where visitors can breathe fresh air, relax in nature and sleep under the twinkling stars. The Bangkok Tree House offers guests the opportunity to sleep in one of the jungle top houses while resting assured that this eco-friendly hotel is doing its best to stay green. From the family nest that has access to three roofs and sleeps four people to the two person room with a view that is void of walls or a ceiling; this hotel is a sure hit. Beautiful outdoor showers, a natural pond and limited access to the land makes the Bangkok Tree House one of the most incredible

treehouses in the world.

The breathing is exaggerated as the lags are flapped like the wings of a butterfly.

2. Sakusana:This is the most commonly known yoga posture and it strangely relaxing.

The main focus on this pose is to main-tain and balance the breathing rate and the stress in the pa-tient’s life.It helps the lungs of the patient to func-tion properly.

Jacqueline Fernandez Living the Dream

Jacqueline Fernandez is one of those rare breed of ac-tresses, who can even melt a rock with her effervescence.

Her positivity can lift your spirits instantaneously. But her cutesy attitude is not all that there is to her. Jacque-

line is wise beyond her years and has a good head on her shoulders.

“I navigated the pressures of the industry as an outsider for quite a while. It can’t be all for nothing,” she laughs. Though Jackie’s been around since 2009, she only got her due post the stupendous success of Kick last year.

And now with her latest release Roy winning her many accolades, she couldn’t be happier. Looking elegant in a

charcoal-grey top and beige skirt with her hair neatly tied in a high pony, she sits down for a chat on her journey so far, the man of her dreams, her genuine friendship with

Sonam Kapoor and a lot more…

Many believe you’ve finally come into your own now. How do you feel at this point in your career?(Giggles) I feel great. Come to think of it, I’ve been extremely lucky because I’ve been a part of big movies since the beginning of my career. My first film was Aladdin, a big film. Then I did Murder 2, another big franchise. Even Housefull 2 and Race 2 were sequels of already successful films. But I’m relieved that I’m getting noticed at last. Though I did big films, I wasn’t noticed initially. Maybe I wasn’t taken seriously because I’m an outsider and couldn’t speak Hindi well back then. But I never stopped working on myself. And that hunger to finally get noticed got fulfilled after Kick. It gave me a new lease of life. It was like my second debut. Kick has been the biggest turning point in my life.

What’s your equation like with your Kick co-star, Salman Khan, today?It’s amazing. While we were shooting, he was a sort of inspiration for me. I’ve always been hardworking but he’s extremely hardworking. I realised that’s how you need to be, no matter how famous you get or how much stardom you have. Plus, he’s so passionate about what he does. And he’s someone who helped me at a time when I needed it the most. It’s not something I’ll ever forget.

81

Do you ever get curious of what people are secretly saying about you?I like to be aware of what is going on and what people are saying. Simply because, it’s always been about learn-ing and growing for me. The only way you can do that is by taking criticism in your stride and doing something about it. There are many people who don’t like to hear the truth. Plus, in our industry, people around you don’t always give you the correct picture, either out of love or politeness. They don’t give you the truth. So when I do hear it, I don’t necessarily feel amazing but it’s a good way of self-improvement.

Does excessive criticism get to you?It gets to me when things are misinterpreted or fabricat-ed. Our audience believes things obsessively and pas-sionately, especially when it’s hot gossip or something sensitive. So that is annoying. But it’s just annoying and there’s not much you can do about it because you’ve chosen this world.

They say two actresses can never be friends. But you and Sonam Kapoor are as thick as thieves. Are you really close?We are. It’s funny that people actually believe actresses can’t be friends because I think it’s quite the opposite. It’s nice to be close to someone you can relate to. When you have an actress friend, you can discuss every-thing with her. You can open up about certain things with her, knowing only she’d get it. You can take advice from her and learn from her experiences. As an actress, you must have at least a few close actress friends.

So there are no insecurities at all?None, whatsoever. I always wish the best for Sonam and I know that she wishes the same for me. In fact, whenever something amazing has come up, she’s always encouraged me to do it. There have been times when I’ve had second thoughts about certain things but Sonam has been my sounding board. She’s helped me take those decisions and I’ve thanked her for them later. Even I get excited when she’s doing well. Sonam is genuine, honest and has worked hard to get where she is today. She’s truly a beautiful human being.

Do you think things will change now con-sidering you both will be vying for the same films?No. So what if we’re contemporaries? Yes, she could be doing my films as much as I could be doing hers. But it can’t be an issue. There is so much work for everyone in the industry and you can’t possibly do every film. If one film doesn’t work out, something else will. Simple. If your friendship with someone changes on the basis of competition, then it’s not true friendship. My friendship with Sonam isn’t fickle. We’re not casual friends.

Coming to something personal now, are you single?Yes and happily so.

Why you want to be single?Well, because I like to take my time. I hurt quite easi-ly. Sometimes, I wish I was a bit stronger and slightly better at being in control of

my emotions.

What are the three qualities your guy must possess?Confidence in a man is attractive. He should also be talented and worldly wise. And he should be well-travelled too. That’s important for me because I’d want someone I can travel the world with.

What is a deal breaker for you on a date?Someone who’s un-hygienic. (Laughs) Men, please pay attention to your hygiene. Bad hy-giene can put a woman off.

Do you have a secret celebrity crush? (Blushes) I have so many.

So who among them would you kill to go out with?Leonardo DiCaprio. Any day. Anytime. Ev-erybody else I like is either married or taken, like George Clooney and Prince William. I’ve always wanted to go out with them.

Do you have a bad habit?(Pauses) I like to whistle. I start whistling anytime, anywhere. And trust me; it can be embarrassing sometimes because I do it uncon-sciously, irrespective of where I am.

What is the one thing you wish you were better at?I wish my language skills were better. It took me a while to learn Hindi. But now I know Hindi pretty well. People believe my Hindi isn’t good. But I’ve learnt the language. The more films I do, the more peo-ple will appreciate it, I guess.

Which is the last place on earth we’d find you?That’s easy. You’ll never, ever, ever find me at a fast food joint.

Your job sucks when…When I’m in a bad mood but I still have to smile and click a picture with someone.

If your life was a movie, which one would it be…Bridget Jones’s Diary.

If you were given a free plane ticket to go any-where in the world, where would you go?Paris. It’s beautiful. It’s the city of love and romance and fashion, if I may add. It’s also one my favourite cities in Europe.

What are you afraid of the most?(Takes a deep breath) Dying alone.It’s a scary thought to have.

One thing you’d sell your soul for…A beautiful hol-iday home in a European coun-tryside.

What’s been the best part of your journey as an actress?The best part has to be the fact that I’ve made my parents proud. That’s been the most fulfilling too.

Also, it’s been amazing working with so many talented and like-minded people.I’m glad I’ve been part of a few of the biggest hits in Bollywood.

Ek Paheli Leelais a Sunny Leone’s ShowEk Paheli Leela invests little effort in character development or setting, notes Paloma Sharma. Meera (Sunny Leone) is a London-based super-model who cannot travel around the world because of her fear of flying. However, her friends/colleagues/enablers – ‘fashion king’ Andy (VJ Andy) and Radhika (Shivani Tank-sale), a professional photographer who can’t take a single decent picture – trick Meera into coming to India.

Once here, she meets Prince Ranveer (Mohit Ahlawat). The two fall in love and get married. However, their happily ever after is interrupted by Karan (Jay Bhanushali), who recog-nises Meera as Leela, a girl from his past life and the key to answering all the questions that have been tor-menting him.

No one’s is going to watch ek paheli leela for the acting or the script or the cinematography except maybe the four-year-old in the middle row, who was tricked into it by his mummy (mothers are devious that way, I tell you). Ek Paheli Leela can be effectively summarised by one of its posters. There’s Sunny Leone in extravagant, revealing costume(s) sitting on an unimaginatively de-signed throne and wielding power over pretty much

everybody. The film never stops telling us how Meera/Leela(/Sunny?) is the most beautiful girl to ever walk the planet and how her beau-ty is such a curse that it ruin-

ed her life not once, but twice. Not only is Leone un-convincing as both the glamorous Meera (her perfor-mance as a drunk is cringeworthy) and the village belle Leela, she strangely has the most awkward intimate scenes in the film. There’s one with Rajneish Duggal, who plays Leela’s penniless lover, Shravan, where the two of them make love in the desert and pour sand over each other.

No one’s going to watchEk Paheli Leelafor the acting orthe script or the

I’m still trying to wrap my head around that one. Moreover, if you’re a linguistic purist from the Hindi heartland who was mad at Leone for murdering your mother tongue, wait till you hear her speak Rajasthani. Dug-gal, for his part, puts in significant effort into his performance even if he can’t be deemed an award-worthy performer. However, the same generosity cannot be extended to Bha-nushali and Ahlawat. Both are terribly cast.

Jay Bhanushali car-ries that melodra-matic streak over from his past life on the small screen and Mohit Ahlawat has the entirely wrong body language. Ahl-awat moves more like a body-building, Bhai-obsessed local goon than a wealthy, refined member of an erstwhile royal fam-ily. For a film with a budget of Rs 15 crore, Ek Paheli Leela has the exact same production value as Spark, another recent Duggal starrer. De-spite having a script that demands high quality art design and recreation of a his-torical period, Leela chooses to spend on Leone’s highly em-bellished costumes (which are laugh-able).

The film features dialogue that is too poorly written. The good thing about Ek Paheli Leela is that the film is aware of its identity and pur-pose. It also realises at the end of its almost two and half hour-long run time, that there are wide loopholes in the script and questions that still need to be answered. Hence the film attempts to bring sub-plots to a close by hurriedly revealing everything without much co-herence. Uzair Jaswal and Tulsi Kumar’s Tere Bin ditty is a redeeming factor, in spite of embarrassing tunes such as Desi Look and Glamor-ous Ankhiyaan.Ek Paheli Leela invests little effort in character development or set-ting. For example, no one tells us why a young man and woman are allowed to run free and indulge in public displays of affection in a desert village in the early 1700s. In the modern day, archaeologists are (obviously) white men who seem to have been copy pasted from a Nat Geo spoof video.Though there are more flaws in the film’s execution, at the heart of it Leela is a genuinely intriguing, if slightly predictable story and the twist at the end could have been a game changer had it been played out better. Nevertheless, critical analysis is not going to make much of a difference for this film is clearly a one woman show and as far as the film is concerned, it is always Sunny in Rajasthan.
