Here’s Who Helped Parineeti Chopra During Tough Times

Parineeti Chopra

From what I hear, Parineeti Chopra has been feeling a bit down lately. Her last two releases, Daawat-E-Ishq and Kill Dill, didn’t really make a mark at the box office. But there’s one person who’s been giving her some motivational talks and telling her not to take it all to heart – none other than her mentor, Aditya Chopra. In fact, if the buzz is to be believed, he has a film in the pipelines and he’s considering Pari for it. From what I hear, this will reinvent her and hopefully fare much better than her past two releases.

It seems that after a few chats with her mentor, Parineeti is in a better space. She gets that bad choices and films not working are part of the industry and there will be down moments along with the up. After spending some time holidaying, the actress is now back reading scripts and being super selective about the roles coming her way. And if word reaching my ears is correct, she wants to showcase herself as more glamorous than just a plain Jane who can act.

She’s one of the finest young actresses in Bollywood today, so here’s hoping Parineeti is back in action soon!

Poonam Pandey Thinks AIB Is “Demeaning To Womenfolk”

Poonam Pandey

Remember Poonam Pandey? Why, of course you do! The babe’s claim to fame is her fake promise of stripping if the Indian Cricket Team won the 2011 World Cup. The new World Cup is upon us again and Poonam is back in the news, but for slightly different reasons this time.

According to Poonam, Tanmay Bhatt and Gursimran Khamba approached her a while ago to be a part of a podcast, but she said no. The reason? Because she thinks it’s “demeaning to womenfolk.”

This is my expression right now:

The Red Faced Emoji

Poonam has been quoted by a leading daily:

I have heard that AIB has been doing some good work, but then some of what I have seen wasn’t really up my alley. The digital medium has been home for me over the last four years, but then I felt that I could not participate in something like this.

What are your thoughts?

We Spent 5 Minutes With Dhanush And Here’s What We Learned About Him

Dhanush

After getting into a quick-fire 5 minute long conversation with Dhanush, I realized that he is a man of few words. Okay, so perhaps this was a case of isolation and he may have been much more vocal in his other interviews. However, when it comes to Shamitabh, he is indeed letting silence speak the loudest, even as he politely responds to each and every question, albeit wrapping it up all in a sentence or two.

Since a plot like Shamitabh is largely unexplored, guess this is one film which should get full marks for originality?

Yes, it is an out and out original script. I think it has never been attempted before. It is really going to be a new experience for the audience.

Were you surprised though when Balki and Big B thought of you as the other lead in the film?

I don’t plan or expect anything. I am just a greedy actor. My family is very proud of me that I am working with Mr. Bachchan. I couldn’t have asked for a better blessing.

Dhanush and Amitabh Bachchan

Since you are relatively much junior to him, even in terms of height, built and personality, there is a stark contrast between you two. How does that play on screen?

(Feeble smile) I think this question is way too intelligent for my small brain and knowledge. In my humble opinion, this film has roles which are tailor-made for both of us. I really hope that this casting works well. This film should be an interesting experience for the audience.

Since you are mute in the film, was it all the more difficult to perform as an actor?

I am not at the liberty of talking about my character in the film, so I can’t reveal anything about it. All I can say though is that Shamitabh is one of the most challenging films that I have done.

One waits to see how Akshara Haasan is placed in the film as the ‘third hero’.

She has bagged a tailor-made character for her first film. She has played it very convincingly too. With an amazing guide like Balki, she has pulled it off as a breeze.

Exclusive: Gauri Khan Opens Up About Her Tropical Holiday, Fashion And More

Gauri Khan for Satya Paul S/S 2015

We already told you about luxury label, Satya Paul collaborating with Gauri Khan. The tropical collection is set to be in all flagship Satya Paul stores this month and we promised to speak to Gauri about the collection. So in an exclusive interview with Team MissMalini, Mrs Shah Rukh Khan dishes about her style, holidays that inspire her and what’s next for her in fashion. Here are some excerpts…

On telling us about her signature style,

Classic, feminine and most importantly, comfortable

On the holiday that inspired her ‘Tropical Wonder’ collection

It was the time we spent in Phuket. The beaches were untouched and the colors very vivid. It seemed like the perfect memory to get inspired by for a summer collection.

How it felt working on her first design venture

I wanted to recreate that ease and fantasy that a holiday promises . We created lush prints on casual and occasional wear separates like sheer tunics, flowing kaftans, shift dresses other than sarees. They have been tailored to exude a natural poise, making them perfect for summer.

On what’s next for Gauri Khan the designer

I think this year has a lot of interesting projects lined up and I’m sure leading the design direction at Satya Paul will be a novel experience for me.

On her favourite Satya Paul piece

I love my sarees, they have had a special place in my wardrobe and I think Satya Paul has always done beautiful ones!

We can’t wait to see more of the tropical goodness coming our way. What do you think?

Is Kajol Making You Want To Steal Her Cat-Eye Sunglasses?

Kajol

We love it when we come across pictures of Kajol! For one she’s one stylish mamma and it’s quite a treat to watch out for what she might be wearing that day. At the OMO Carnival in Dubai, Kajol, who is also the brand ambassador, made a special appearance. While I don’t know exactly how special this was, her clothes definitely were!

The world through Kajol’s sunnies – I don’t have them yet, but it’s looking pretty damn good already! What do you think?
