"Sabbir makes commercial films, but he is focussed on detailing. He doesn't overdo things on the set and wants the film to look realistic. I like it when directors don't play to the galleries," Nawazuddin said in a statement.

The actor will be seen sharing screen space with actors Tiger Shroff and debutante Niddhi Aggerwal in the film, which revolves around a boy who idolises late King of Pop Michael Jackson.

"There's a lot of romance, apart from the dancing, in this film. I want to play a romantic hero," added the acclaimed talent, known for character roles.

The Oscar win inspired Kidman to find a man to spend her life with, reports etonline.com.

"Winning the Oscar was a turning point, but not in terms of my life as an actor, because it was incredibly validating, but it actually symbolised loneliness to me because I didn't have anyone to share it with at that stage in my life," Kidman said during a question and answer session at the 60th BFI London Film Festival here on Wednesday.

While the collection was all about ruffles, frills in pink and yellow, and even if the viewers found the designs repetitive, the cheerful music which struck a chord with the audience of the late 1980s and 1990s, ensured all ears and eyes were tuned to the ramp.

Sheer organza, tulle and weightless striped silk were some of the fabrics that the duo used to woo the fashion lovers.

Balloon sleeves, pouffed-up shoulders, high low leggy silhouettes, waist-clinching belts, harnesses in black and oxblood leather with gold metallic studs gave an edge to the otherwise soft clothing.

The collection looked simple and wearable and Bhartiya had the models clad in hues of white, blues and blacks.

Tisca shared that the simple yet unique look of Bhartiya's work.

Balancing themselves on stilettos, models showcased capes, jackets, tunics dresses, and oodles of layered skirts with simple embroidery.

Either the bottom wear had a little bit of work on them or the tops did, displaying perfect balance for the eyes.

Ajay had earlier this year alleged that Karan paid Kamaal Rs 25 lakh to tweet positively about "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" and to give negative reviews to "Shivaay", which he has directed and acted in.

Kamaal spoke up in favour of "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" on Friday after COEAI announced that "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" won't release in single screen theatres in Maharashtra, Goa and Gujarat, due to the presence of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan in it.

"Married actresses have been working in films for a very long time. It's just that they never came into focus and people never pointed them out and said, 'Hey, you're married and you're working'," Kajol told in an interview from Mumbai. 

The mother of two added: "You had a Sharmila Tagore, you had my mother (Tanuja), you had Saira Banu, you had so many actresses, who worked after they got married, in fact more after they got married than before they got married. Dimple Kapadia for that matter.

"So yes, there are actresses who have been working pre- and post-marriage and nothing changed in their entire imagery. There were a lot of actresses who did not work at all once they got married. And that is a possible choice, I believe. 

"And, of course, there were some who just didn't make it and chose to use marriage as an excuse. So, I don't think I'm a path-breaker in that sense. Maybe because the spotlight is on me right now. But I didn't do it first. I just followed in some very illustrious footsteps."

The director of critically acclaimed films like "Masoom", "Bandit Queen" and "Elizabeth" also said that he sees the opportunity as a bridge between India and China. 

"In this Asian century, super excited to be invited to be Chairman of Macau Film Festival. To be the bridge between Indian and Chinese culture," Kapur tweeted on Friday.

Kapur, who gave birth to Bollywood's invisible man through "Mr. India", didn't reveal any other details pertaining to the festival. 

Titled 'Romance of the Florals', the collection was a combination of soft fabric and pastel shades of pale blue and pink, with white lotuses and leafy greens put together on yellow and orange fabrics with hints of sparkle.

The duo tried to paint the hues of spring onto the creations using sheer drapes of georgettes and chiffons, and using Swarovski crystals for the bling. 

The Diwali entertainer, directed and produced by Karan Johar under his home banner Dharma Productions, stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan apart from Fawad.

In the midst of news that the Cinema Owners and Exhibitors Association of India (COEAI) has decided not to release movies featuring Pakistani actors in single screen theatres in Maharashtra, Goa and Gujarat, producers of "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" have said their film is "all about spreading love".

The 51-year-old will next be seen in black comedy TV series "Divorce" -- which will premiere in India on October 17 on Star World Premiere HD. 

In "Divorce", Parker plays Frances, a woman who has recently decided to divorce her husband. 

She says that she sees plenty of parallels between the struggles of her onscreen character Frances and those of one of her real-life friends, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I'm nervous because there's not a character that I can sort of hide behind," Timberlake told etonline.com.

Timberlake further shared that he finds it strange that he "takes all the credit" for the hard work that other people put into making the movie.

"You put a bunch of geniuses around you, and then you take all the credit. To take that tour for two years and still have so much fun ... we captured the last two shows and there was still so much good will and love between everybody," he said.

Jahangir, who has appeared in films like "Aashiqui", "Paan Singh Tomar", "Rajneeti", "Sadak" and "Sankat City", will be seen as Pathan ‘Sher Khan', who comes to Mumbai to join hands with Amma (played by Shabana Azmi). 

His character's agenda is to bring arms and ammunition to India and spread terrorism across the country in the name of religion. However, Amma who follows the path of humanity and does not want people to get divided by religion, will stand up and fight against him. 

"Relations and networking is very important in this industry, but I think many nothing can replace your talent... I think I have lack of friends in this industry," Rajniesh said in an interview.

Rajniesh started out as a model and made his acting debut with filmmaker Vikram Bhatt's horror thriller movie "1920" in 2008 alongside actress Adah Sharma. He has worked in films including "Phhir", "Dangerous Ishq" and "Ek Paheli Leela". Most of his films did not elicit the response that the makers may have envisioned.

The 34-year-old actor said that "filmmaking is a director's medium".

"But if the director is unknown, the actor gets the flak for a bad performance. I do believe that an actor is as good as his last film," he added. 

Varun took to Twitter to share the news, saying he is glad to get 'lady Khan' on board. 

The actor first tweeted: "Exclusive-super talented actor joining the cast of 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania'."

He later posted a video to introduce Gauahar.

In that, Varun said: "We have got a very special announcement for you... We have one of the Khans joining the cast of 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania'. And the lady Khan is Gauahar. Gauahar welcome to the cast. We are going to tear it down." 

Shashank Khaitan's film "Badrinath Ki Dulhania" also stars Alia Bhatt. And the "Highway" actress can be seen in the video cheering for Gauahar. 

Gauahar, who was last seen on screen in "Fever", said: "These are my favourites and I am so excited to be a part of this film."

"He is multi-talented and a gift to the industry. I am a fan of him since childhood and used to copy his steps as a child. That's why there are similarities in the way we dance. I feel he's the only complete package in the industry," Tiger said on Zoom Channel's show "Diwali Beats".

The 26-year-old actor, who is the son of veteran actor Jackie Shroff, also finds his "Baaghi" co-star Shraddha Kapoor very hardworking.

She also said that she doesn't pick a project thinking that it will elevate her position in the industry. 

"I haven't set any standards that I have to do this work or this is where I have to go. I don't put that kind of pressure on myself. What I tell myself is that I will continue (on the path). I think I am the only top actress probably who has done B-grade films," Kangana told. 

She added: "I don't see that a certain project can ascend to a certain position. You can be giving flops and still be a very valuable artiste and that is the case with me." 

Discovery's premier series, "#Indiamyway", set to go on air on Sunday, features the duo on an epic journey across India, their way.

"We always knew that it was going to be more than one movie -- we knew that from the start -- so we set a trilogy as a sort of placeholder, because we knew there would be more than one movie," Rowling said at the Empire Theatre here on Thursday, reported variety.com.

"But I've now done the plotting properly, so we're pretty sure it's going to be five movies," she added.

The designer showcased her collection on Day Two of the five-day gala, which commenced on Wednesday and is being held at the NSIC ground in Okhla.

Clad in a denim skirt and crop top, Disha turned up the mood of the audience by having fun in the ramp, skipping and twirling away.

"Love Generation is a young fresh, vibrant brand and connects to my personality at many different levels. The moment I saw the garments, I instantly fell in love with them and I am very happy to be walking for Love Generation," Disha told here.

Manisha Chopra, Co-Founder of SeaSoul Cosmeceuticals, has shared ways on how to choose the perfect foundation for different skin types. 

Identify your skin tone: Finding the right foundation that perfectly suits your skin tone. Knowing your undertones is equally important to fix on that perfect foundation because only a foundation that matches both your skin tone and undertones is going to blend in seamlessly. Undertones come in three types: warm, neutral and cool.

Bold lines, checks, kooky styling, printed patterns and sequinses ruled the ramp, adding oodles of perfect colour combinations to the show.

The theme of the collection was Curious Alice.

Models were clad in tunics, large-lapel jackets, colourful trousers, narrow dhoti pants, asymmetric dresses, saris with full sleeve blouses, peplum blouse with deep necklines, narrow skirts, khada pyjamas, regan-sleeved dresses and cape style blouses.

While some blouses had detailed embroideries, some were sewn from the same bold checkered Maheshwari fabric like that of the skirts or the bottom wear.

While the apparels ranged from red, blue tunics to yellow skirts to crop tops and dresses, the collections showcased here on Wednesday also had dapper menswear and accessories like shoes, umbrellas and bags.

FDCI (Fashion Design Council Of India) collaborated with the Italian Trade Commission to have Italy as partner country for the 28th edition of the gala.

The umbrellas had inverted designs, unlike what we find here in India. Rather than designing the tops, the insides had different designs like flowers and peacock feathers, adding drama to the attire of the models.

Mohapatra, who was seen sporting a bright orange layered pleated dress made of a fabric called Kotpad with natural dye, entered the stage dancing to the song "Tere ishq nachaya" sung by her. She even sung a few lines of the song "Aja ve" live for the audience.

The designers, whose collection was titled Mrs Nair's High Tea showcased a total of 23 ensembles, which included layered dresses, capes, Ikat woven frock dresses, pants and off shoulder gathered tops.

Preeti Seth, Cosmetologist at Pachouli Spa & Wellness Centre, Delhi, has shared some tips that one must start from now to keep your skin healthy. 

* Stay hydrated: The more you keep your body hydrated, the more youthful you will look. Drinking lots of water is the best way to do away with impurities in your skin, and eliminate waste and toxins from your system. So make sure you drink 8-10 glasses of water every day. 

* Avoid exposure to sun: Although shopping and celebrations are a big part of the festive season, it is best to avoid too much direct exposure to sunlight. The sun's strong UV rays can damage your skin texture and make you look dull and tanned. When stepping out, carry an umbrella, apply sunscreen of SPF 45, wear sunglasses and full-sleeved clothes.

It is being done for Versus under the ZAYN X VERSUS label, the new collection of which will debut in May 2017. Malik will also star in two campaigns for the brand next year, reports aceshowbiz.com.

"I think Versus has always been a very cool brand. It's a great brand for me and for people in my generation. I've always wanted to design clothes, and there's no brand I'd rather design for than Versus," Malik said.

"The bonus is that I get to collaborate with Donatella, whom I love and admire. I know we'll create something amazing," he added.

Talking about the association with Malik, Versace said: "Zayn is one of the most exciting personalities on the world stage right now. When we first met, he told me how much he loves fashion." 

Designer Shubika from brand Papa Don't Preach recently showcased her designs at the 18th edition of Bridal Asia. She says that nowadays there are different kinds of bridal preferences.

"I don't think that there is just one type of a bride. One needs to dress according to their personality, irrespective of the trends. If someone is a vibrant, outgoing person, then a colourful, fun, over the top outfit will only do justice, and vice-versa," Shubika told.

"However one can keep the styling, make-up, hair minimalistic if the outfit is over the top as the natural look is in and is timeless," she added.

Designer Ridhi Mehra, who also participated at Bridal Asia, feels the same.

"I totally believe it is. I feel a bride should be minimal but that doesn't mean going super light. There is a very thin line between minimal and underdressed," Mehra told and added that the monotone look and pastel colours with pop embroideries make for a perfect fit.

Directed by D.J. Caruso, "xXx: The Return of Xander Cage" is a sequel to the 2002 film "xXx" and 2005 film "xXx: State of the Union". The film, slated to release on January 20, 2017, also stars Ruby Rose, Samuel L. Jackson, Donnie Yen and Tony Jaa.

Mix and match colours, accessorise well and make juttis your best friends to help you outshine in #ethnic_wear.

Varinder Singh Jawanda, founder, e-commerce site TrendyBharat, suggests how: 

* The advantage of mix and match is that it allows you to pair from different sets to create more looks from a handful of outfits. Therefore, pick the colour chart and experiment new combinations for a different look. 

* No matter whether you are wearing a lehenga without embroidery or a plain suit, you can still look gorgeous by accessorising it well. There are many attractive accessories such as neck pieces, anklets, maang tikas and jhumkis to style your outfit. 

The 59-year-old make-up artist , who founded her eponymous luxury cosmetics brand in 1991, which was bought by Estée Lauder five years later, has admitted she hopes beauty trends return back to a "simpler" style where the contouring craze, which uses shadowing and highlighting to define the facial features, is long gone.

"With make-up, I hope we're going to a place that is simpler and is more real. I can only hope it's a place with no contouring," femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.

The three-day extravaganza which will be held here, will have different brands participating in it.
