Manish Malhotra apologizes to Vidya Balan

v
Vidya Balan’s makeover look in ‘Heyy Baby’ didn’t really hit off too well. However, designer Manish Malhotra very humbly accepted his fault and sent an SMS of apology to Vidya Balan for her supposedly mal-dressed look in Sajid Khan’s Heyy Babyy. The SMS said ‘I’m sorry I messed up. I hope we get another opportunity.’

However, Vidya very sweetly dismissed Manish’s apology saying that it was not Manish’s fault alone. They somehow couldn’t connect with each other.

“I completely trusted Manish. But Manish and I couldn’t share a direct connect to discuss my clothes. He couldn’t be physically present at the shooting for Heyy Babyy. And considering I was doing a makeover in my looks it was very important for him to be there. We should’ve both worked very closely on my clothes,” explains Vidya.

Vidya now accepts that glamour for her has to be defined in a different more subtle way than it was defined by Manish for Urmila or Kareena. Vidya’s clothes in ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ have been done by a new designer Sheena Parekh and Vidya is very happy with her look in the movie.

Sonam and Ranbir Kapoor dazzle on ‘Jhalak Dikhlaja’

Sonam Kapoor looks fresh, nubile and petite in the promos of ‘Saawariya’. However, Sonam went glamorous on the dance floor of ‘Jhalak Dikhla Ja’ this weekend with her on-screen ‘Saawariya’ Ranbir Kapoor.

Ranbir Kapoor is undoubtedly a great dancer, but it was Sonam who took everyone by surprise. Sonam has been taking lessons from Sandip Soparrkar and has been learning Salsa, Jazz and other western dances for quite sometime now.

Shilpa Shetty’s perfume auctioned for charity

Shilpa Shetty’s popularity can be judged from the fact that when she recently launched her perfume S2 on Saturday, November 3 in London for charity at a special auction, it raised an amazing 15,000 pounds sterling (more than Rs. 12 lakh).

Fashion tycoon Danni Passi purchased the fragrance in the auction, while Shilpa attended the event to lend her support to the cause. This amount even surpassed the 9,000 pounds mark raised by Shilpa at British MP Keith Vaz’s charity event last June.

Topping the auction items, including a diamond & ruby necklace and Cartier watch, the fragrance proceeds will be used towards restoring to underprivileged Indian children their basic rights to – survival, protection, development and participation.

Shilpa said on the occasion, “I’m amazed and delighted that my fragrance, S2 has raised such an amazing amount for CRY. The proceeds of my fragrance and proceeds of the entire auction will make a real difference to the lives of underprivileged Indian children.”

Shahrukh khan in ‘Nach Baliye’

With ‘Saawariya’ stars appearing in ‘Jhalak Dikhlaja’, how could SRK stay behind? So, ‘Om Shanti Om’ star Shah Rukh Khan made an appearance on the reality dance show ‘Nach Baliye’ as a judge to promote his latest film.

Dancing to the hit track Dard-e-disco from Om Shanti Om, the actor bonded well with item girl Rakhi Sawant and even did an impromptu jig with her.

“I never tell anyone to go watch my film but this time I will say so. That is because if you do so, it will be fun. It’s an entertaining film with lots of drama and good acting,” says Shah Rukh in praise of his ambitious project.

This Friday will decide who wins at last after all the promotion and marketing fundas.
