Rapunzel braid – Shilpa Shetty is one of the smartest actresses who still hogs the limelight and steals the thunder in the red carpets.

She is married to the industrialist Raj Kundra and they have an adorable son Viaan. She recently posted some saree-clad pictures of her in Instagram which has created ripples in the media and now she is making the headlines with her new hairstyles.

Lately, Shilpa has released her yoga and fitness video to inspire women around the country for living healthy and looking good. She too is a style icon who can surely give the contemporary actresses a neck-to-neck competition.

Have you ever visited Shilpa’s Instagram account? There you will find awesome cookery videos and her Sunday-binge updates but one thing is for sure, you can’t stare off the pictures she is seen wearing a saree in.

Shilpa got all creative with her saree looks but if you follow her religiously her Shilpa Shetty hair styles too are downright creative. This time Shilpa has seen sporting a Rapunzel braid which was definitely a business class update.

A Rapunzel braid is a quick hairstyle that anybody can do. It also goes down well with all sorts of looks such as western and Indian, gowns and sarees. A Rapunzel braid belongs to the same list as French braid, Fishtail braid and the mermaid braid. When you are running short of ideas, Rapunzel braids come to your instant rescue. This is a five-strand braid so takes some time but once done well, you are sorted for the classiest look ever.

Remember the Super Dancer Chapter 2 look of Shilpa Shetty?

Where she was styled by Sanjana Batra who chose a Mint Green Saree from Roshni Chopra and juttis from Fizzy Goblet to go with it? The look was sealed with ear-rings from Varun Raheja. Which took away all the attention from her entire ensemble was the side braid which was not the routine 3-part braid but an upgraded version of Rapunzel braid which looked rather painstalking than easy-breezy. Hairstylist Sheetal Khan seemed have a keen eye for details so she took ample time for creating it. We also laud Sjay Shelar for giving her an edgy make-up with golden mascara and Pink Lipstick to rock the look.

Here is a small tip:

In case if you have layered hair-cut, make sure your hair hasn’t been washed for a day so that it becomes more ductile and easier to make the plates.

Rapunzel braid – Shilpa has given us hairstyle goals always and this one is a new addition in that repertoire. This time she gave her soft curls a ditch and we are completely besotted.

We love our Bollywood actresses, don’t we?

Looking at their popularity and crazy fan following, everyone can guess what impact these celebs have on us.

We have loved them in every avatar, and if you look at their journey, you know they have come really far.

Today let’s take a look at some of the pictures of our Bollywood actress and well you would surely be shocked with the transformation.

Here’s some before and after pictures of your favourite Bollywood actresses.

Take a look..

Kajol 

She has undoubtedly aged really well. We are waiting to see her back on screen with Shah Rukh Khan in Dilwale.

The Supreme Court appointed committee has given its verdict and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as well as Rajasthan Royals (RR) are banned from the IPL for next two years!

This is indeed a big blow, but given our legal system, there might be some appeals, some more time to buy time to overturn the judgements or ask for some kind of leniency in punishments etc. that will go on. However, it is a watershed moment in the history of Indian cricket and if the judgment is followed in letter and spirit, then very soon BCCI will be looking for two new franchisees to replace the punished ones!

Given the fact that RR was partly owned by Shilpa Shetty’s husband, Raj Kundra (even he is debarred from participating in any form of cricket); suddenly the glamour quotient will drop! Of course Shahrukh Khan and Preity Zinta are still there, but more glamour can only help to make IPL even more successful. As such it is a fun form of cricket rather than serious sport so why not have more glamour quotient to it?

We have thought of 5 celebrities who might or should try to buy the New IPL Teams in auctions so that the tournament becomes more thrilling and more exciting to watch!

Here are they:

1) Salman Khan

Sallu bhai has a charity organization, has got his own production house, has got all his siblings and extended family settled down, and is also acting in Celebrity Cricket League so the next step is to obviously own a team in world’s biggest T20 tournament!  We are sure money would be hardly of any consequence, buying a team must be like loose change for him. Better he buys one! The way his movies fare at the box office, IPL can only look at money raining down after Salman’s presence!

2) Saif Ali Khan

The Nawab of Pataudi might have missed the bandwagon last time around when auctions happened, this time he should just board the IPL train ASAP! With his dad’s cricket legacy in his blood and the fact that he is a shrewd and sorted businessman more than a talented actor, he surely can make his team give some exciting performances! Add his gorgeous wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan to the mix and you can be assured of more than houseful shows of cricket matches!

3) Abhishek Bachchan

Junior AB might not have been able to set the screens on fire with his average performances; he is surely dabbling in lot of sporting activity for some time. His kabbadi team is doing well and IPL seems the logical extension to his sporting interests! After all, he needs to make a living on his own rather than being supported majorly by his wife and family, right?

4) Aamir Khan

When Shahrukh Khan is minting money and Salman is a worthy candidate, why should Aamir stay behind? He is after all the perfectionist of all and his intelligence combined with talented skill sets of cricket players can only create magic unseen before! The only hitch is, he might ask for the tournament to be held once in 5 years so that players get enough time to prepare to play to their perfection!

5) Sunny Leone

Can anyone claim to bring more glamour to IPL than our own sultry and sexy Sunny? Sunil Sunny Gavaskar might also get to relive his youthful days when the whole nation used to chant “Sunny” “Sunny” in the stadium! Apart from that, Sunny has just played a Rajasthani character in her latest hit movie, Leela; being the owner of a team from Rajasthan can only assure her of making hit movies with Rajasthani background! Sound business sense, isn’t it?

Well who knows what the future is, but if either of these celebrities buy an IPL team, the whole tournament’s appeal will go a few notches higher!

Jack of all trades, master of none!

This used to be an old saying, but times are changing and like how!

Now you’re expected to be a master of all trades if you have to survive the roller-coaster ride of life in Bollywood. Just being an actor is not enough guys, with so much of uncertainty and insecurities you got to make sure to don various hats to survive and live a luxurious life. Being a businessman is one of the options that an actor has today and so many of them are running their business empires so amazingly that one wonders if these actors are actors or businessmen? Let’s talk some of the biggest Actors Businessmen of Bollywood:

1) Shahrukh Khan

He is the King of Bollywood and undisputedly the biggest businessman of Bollywood as well! Not only has he stakes in media companies, his interests go as far as real estate in the Middle East too! With one of the best post-production and graphics studio in the country, SRK’s company, Red Chillies Pvt. Ltd. is also into producing some of the biggest movies! How can you leave out his Kolkata Knight Riders being one of the most profitable sports franchise in IPL? The list goes on and on and on..

2) Salman Khan

Darling of the masses earns millions from his movies alone, but his charitable acts are also gaining major traction. His home grown brand, Being Human is really growing fast and giving tough competition to other apparel manufacturers. Even though it is for charity, but ultimately it is a business which is helping a charitable cause. This business at the moment may not be enough to compensate for his earnings from films, but the future does look very bright!

3) Shilpa Shetty

When she is not teasing and seducing her fans with her latkas and jhatkas, this long-legged beauty is busy running her businesses comprising of Spas, Fitness DVD’s, line of Perfume and the most famous, IPL team Rajasthan Royals! With her real estate magnet hubby, Raj Kundra, Shilpa has managed her post-Bollywood career with great style!

4) Sunil Shetty

Anna, as he is famously called may not be the best or even an average actor, but his business acumen is second to none! He has varied business interests comprising of producing movies under his banner Popcorn Entertainment, running chain of gyms across India, and a series of boutiques under the brand name of Mischief. Apart from having a share in the restaurant business of Mumbai, he has recently ventured into real estate with his company S2 Reality for developing luxury projects! Whoa!!

5) Ronit Roy

He started his film career as a hero, but failed miserably and went into oblivion for a long time. However, he didn’t sit idle, but started a security agency by the name of Ace Security. Now, after making a comeback on TV and becoming one of the biggest superstars on the medium, he is also credited for making his security company one of the biggest in Bollywood. He is responsible for giving security to stars like Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan and many more biggies! That’s called a super successful business, isn’t it?

The list of actors joining the business brigade is growing faster than ever.

Let’s hope these guys succeed in their endeavours, but firstly should keep us entertained!

The whole nation is burning!

Rapes, molestation, politics, corruption, farmer suicides and what not!

And to top it all, Sallu Bhai’s “Hit and Run” case is taking the nation by storm!

There is so much to talk and contemplate on, right?

But Mr. Raj ‘Shilpa Shetty” Kundra picked a rather offbeat topic to pour his views about! He chose sadda hero Shahrukh’s Frooti ad to spell disgust on and did so with elan!

Well, the new jingle of a mango drink Shah Rukh Khan endorses, is not quite sweet music to the ears of Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra.

The new ad-film for the product features an animated gimmick, with a toy-sized SRK joining other similar toy figures in gaping at a huge mango descending from the sky.

Kundra’s objection is with the background song that accompanies the visuals. It goes: “Aam suckita…lickita… enjoyita.” Shah Rukh himself makes an appearance right at the end of the ad-film, taking hold of a bottle and sipping into it.

While the ad-film does create a whacky mood for the product, Kundra has tweeted disgust. “This ad is disgusting! Kids copying and singing suck it lick it a. @iamsrk bhai how did u approve this script? Tasteless literally!” Kundra tweeted.

Shah Rukh has chosen to stay away from replying to Kundra’s comment as of now, but the superstar is known to clearly spell out his point of view on anything involving his image.

And lo and behold, after this episodic one sided war, Kundra started trending on Facebook! The last time he did, so was when he was accused of betting in the IPL. So this may have come as a welcome surprise. What a way man! What a way!!

Now going back to the ad, whatever the dirty picture department of your brain says, sucking and licking are perfectly sexual activities too, right? In fact, we suck on mangoes and lick our ice cream cones all the time. And children, below a certain age, only know that kind. The rest, who are of the age, which tells them that verbs have different meanings in different stages of life, won’t sing it aloud and embarrass anyone.

Also, the words are integral to the activity of eating. Like how does a good Bengali describe what do with a mutton bone filled with marrow, simmering in gravy? There’s no replacement for the words, ‘sucking it’ really!

By Kundra’s logic, the entire first half of the ad which lists the following activities – push it, pull it, hit it, move it, shoot it – could be passed off as the beginner’s guide to BDSM and put Rihanna and 50 Shades of Grey clubbed together to shame. But that’s hardly how children will see it, right?

Probably Kundra should taste a Frooti before saying the as “tasteless”!! Raj Kundra, take a chill pill!!

So let’s all calm down and suck on a Frooti and concentrate on bigger issues!

Arrey koyi akhbaar laana re!!

We love reality shows!

Whether it is the baap of all, Bigg Boss or the routine song and dance reality shows which give a platform to the immense talent in our country from kids to adults, from girls to women, from singles to couples, as an audience we love watching them month after month, season after season.

No doubt, these shows are a welcome break from the teary soaps ruling the roost and help a complete family to spend evenings together, not to mention inspiring the coming generation to have new dreams and believe in them.

Given such a huge potential which these reality shows carry within, it becomes their responsibility as well to make sure that a right kind of message goes out to the audience. Right from the contestants’ selection, the production value, the honesty of the competition to the fair and transparent judgment of the acts, it is absolutely necessary that the highest possible standards are maintained.

Chetan Bhagat

That is why it is shocking to know that Nach Baliye, a dance reality show produced by Ekta Kapoor for Star Plus, is in talks with Chetan Bhagat to be one of the judges! There is no doubt about the calibre of Chetan as a writer, but to think of him as a dance show judge? That’s actually crazy!! As a celebrity he can definitely attract eyeballs given his massive fan following, but is he trained and skilled enough to judge professional dancers? There have been host of celebrity judges on various shows, but they have all been either masters of their craft or they have judged shows which required objective opinions about the acts. For example, if Kirron Kher judged India’s Got Talent, it was not about any one particular talent, but talent in general based on certain pre-decided benchmarks and parameters.

Similarly, if Shilpa Shetty or Madhuri Dixit is made to judge a dance show, they are definitely qualified to do that given their long history of being associated with the art form and having proven their mettle.

What does Chetan Bhagat have to do with dancing except sitting on the fence and just passing remarks?

This is actually commercialization of a franchise without applying mind to it. Yes, TV shows are made to entertain and earn money as well, but then don’t lower the standards to earn a quick buck! The contestants may not be hard-core professionals and their career also may not be in the line of fire based on their performances in the show, but what kind of a message will the show give out?

The youth that watches such shows need to hear an expert comment on dance performance instead of some writer’s views who might just judge the act on his vague opinion!

Really hope that better sense prevails and the production house along with the channel finalize an expert celebrity rather than just a celebrity!
