Spotted again in a Cavalli gown, Aish was mesmerising and resplendent. She looked every bit glamourous and royal in a shimmery white fishnet gown, and teamed it up with a nude lipstick and naturally curled hair.
Even with the controversy
surrounding her that she had copied her look from Kristin Chenoweth`s Oscar look, her look today was as classic as it can get. Her glamourous shimmery dress was perfectly set off by the the lack of any dramatic contrast and the fashion critics agree.

"Initially, when I talked about the film two years back, news spread that it is a remake of `Angoor`. But it is not," Sajid said here Tuesday at the music launch of the film.
"I made one remake and I have sworn not to make another one," he added referring to the debacle of ‘Himmatwala’, a remake of the 1983 Jeetendra starrer.

"I had this idea for quite some time. Some second and third characters played by the three actors in the film are similar to things I have done on TV. So I was at ease writing them," he said.
"I wanted to make a new kind of comedy everyone enjoys and is not vulgar," he added.

Reports suggest that Rani always wanted to have a traditional Bengali style wedding and her wish was fulfilled by none other than her `man` Aditya Chopra and that too in full swing. According to reports, their wedding was solemnised exactly the way Rani`s family had dreamt of. Aditya made sure that all the Bengali rituals and customs were followed.
From blowing of conch shells to ululation—all the customs were in place. Adi was well-received by the bride`s family with the traditional bot-boron ceremony. If reports are to be believed, then Adi made sure the pandit carrying out the pooja was also Bengali—therefore, one was flown to Italy for the same.
Both Rani and Adi were believed to be dressed in traditional Bengali wedding attire. The Bollywood star was the typical bong bride who didn`t shy away from wearing `aalta` on her feet as part of the wedding ritual.

The first casualty of the censor board's new-found regard for a woman's modesty is new actress Rupali Krishnarao, who plays a prostitute in Asshu Trikha's "Koyelaanchal". Her cleavage has been blurred by the censors at several places in the film where the board members found the display of flesh too ample.
Considering how much cleavages are part of Bollywood culture, Trikha can't stop grinning over the sheer hypocrisy of this sudden flash of modesty.
"The cleavage was blurred as per the censor board's instruction. I argued with them saying cleavage is an integral part of Bollywood culture. Besides, my heroine plays a prostitute. In 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram' 36 years ago, Zeenat Aman had displayed a lot more than mere cleavage in a temple sequence."
Besides, Trikha pointed out his film is not for children.
"My film is for adults only. And adult audiences are mature enough to handle some cleavage. But I saw no point in arguing beyond a point. I just blurred the blouse."
But he has no complaints against the censor board. "They have become cautiously advanced as opposed to defensively regressive."
Meanwhile, a sequence in Ananth Mahadevan's 'The Xpose' showing a starlet in a transparent white sari has been trimmed by the censorboard.
Ironically, the same pose by Zeenat in Raj Kapoor's "Satyam Shivam Sundaram" 36 years ago was allowed to go without any cuts.

Jimmy produced Punjabi films like "Dharti" and "Rangeelay".
"I had a very bad experience producing films," Jimmy said adding that he strove for his level of perfection in his projects and this resulted in a financial debacle.
"Just to take films to my own level, I have paid from my own pocket. I took steps which were rash. If the makers told me this is required for the film, I used to say go ahead with it, but the money never came back," added the actor.
He has learnt his lesson the hard way."Your personal work should be different from production work and it should survive on its own. So, that is something I failed in. I messed up as a producer," he said.
He may not have succeeded as a producer, but he knows his craft as an actor. Be it "Maachis" or "Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster", Jimmy is known for giving his best in front of the camera and proving his mettle.

Sharing her Bollywood journey with a packed audience here at Australia India Institute's Satyajit Ray memorial lecture, Sen said the movie that got her the National award for best actress gave her a chance to see all the aspects of acting in films.
"I was not sure about acting, so my mother offered this role and she is very good at tricking me. She said, 'You help me and be my research assistant'. I went to Chennai to research on Iyers which was great fun and experience," said Sen, who is also attending the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne.
"I was looking for jobs in Delhi after doing Mr and Mrs Iyer, and then the film won awards and I won the National award and my life changed. Suddenly people were aware that I was acting. And I realised that this is something that I enjoy. My relationship with acting changed a lot," the 34-year-old actress said.
Konkona, whose resume boasts of a number of Bengali, Hindi and English films, describes herself as the champion of the underdog, and said Bengali films were her real children and Hindi films her step children.
Reminiscing her debut film Indirah as a child artist in 1983, Sen said, "They needed a little boy. They did not have a child so they cut my hair and put me in film. That was the inglorious beginning of my acting career. "
"I would love to be a boy in a film. We are really disadvantaged. Women don't get as many roles as men. They don't get paid as much as they do either. These are the inequalities that most industries have," she said.
Even after doing two-three Bengali films, Sen said acting was never on her mind as a career option.
"I saw my mother as an actress and I saw her life as an actor and director. It is a hard life particularly when you make unconventional choices for example when you are following your heart. I really never wanted to be an actor," she said adding she was planning on to career like journalist or a psychologist.
"I studied English Honours but infact I was so shy that in my first year of college I didn't audition for any plays. While I was in college got offered a mainstream Bengali film, a copy of Hollywood movie Crush. My mother asked take the challenge," Sen said.
The film received many accolades and Sen said it was whole new experience for her.
She also recalled her relation with late filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh, who had directed her in films like Titli, Dosar but she turned down Shubho Mahurat.
