Body Shapers are a Boon for our P3 Dolly Aunties

You must have heard of Wonder Panties. They are the ones that push-up your sagging bum and gives it a round shape. Then there are those spandex tubes that you use to squeeze in your belly and love handles and all that saggy bits around the torso and of course you have body shapers that you wear on your thighs to firm it up and not wobble like a jelly when you walk.

The interesting bit is the list of ladies who use body shapers and lie about doing Power Yoga to be trim is really long. Queenie Singh is one such socialite who survives on body-shapers. Recently at a Luxury Store’s trial room she sought the help of a sales girl to hook up her bra and the poor girl was shocked to see layers of spandex wrapped all over. I loved it when she said, “She looked like a mummy (the Egyptian kinds) all wrapped up.

And did you know that Atulya Mafatlal, Sheetal Mafatlal’s hubby has got his tummy stapled? Eeeeks, how can you do that? Also the gossip-mill is strong that K-Jo too wraps his tummy under a latex cummerbund. It’s amazing what all things people do to create a beautiful illusion. Though Atul Mafatlal doesn’t even look good after the illusion.

Varun Bahl Angry & Media makes Robert Vadra, Soni’s Muse

Folks I have some real spicy news for you from the ongoing Men’s Week in Delhi.

Varun Bahl was very upset with a journalist of a National Daily because the scribe did the interview with him on the K JO+Varun Bahl collection for VHIMW but when the story appeared it was all about Karan Johar. We all know that the label K Jo+Varun Bahl has creative inputs of Varun and charisma of K JO. But it is sad that the media is so Bollywood struck these days that anything beyond Bollywood becomes insignificant. Varun Bahl is definitely justified to be angry. The scribe could have interviewed Karan Johar instead.

Media concluded that Robert Vadra was the muse for Ashish Soni’s look at the VHIMW. You know why? Well because the models wore a pencil line moustache that had resemblance with Robert Vadra’s moustache. Ashish Soni is rather flummoxed and laughed it off. But just think  how stories are created by media. India’s First Family’s Son-in-Law is the muse of Fashion Designer made a great story so they created it. Any other moustached buddy of Ashish Soni wouldn’t have made such headlines.

Manish Malhotra cribbed, ‘Gudda spoilt my Show’.

Manish Malhotra was cribbing that Rohit Bal spoilt his show at The Collective launch in Delhi. Malhotra was complaining about the skit that Karan Johar hosted at the launch and Gudda and Pratap were part of the skit. Don’t know what Gudda did to spoil his show but Manish Malhotra is quiet a spoilsport. By the way, I think the skit hosted by K Jo was rather stupid.

At the Chivas Tour last year, Manish Malhotra and Rohit Bal were paired together for a show in Mumbai. Manish wanted the second half, which was slotted for Gudda but when organisers didn’t budge, he pleaded that when Gudda’s show ends, he should be called again on the ramp for the bow. What stupid demands, huh. Manish concentrate on your designs. If they are good you need not re-appear on the ramp twice or blame it on somebody for a lack-lustre show.

K Jo versus Gudda tiff continues

Karan Johar, the jack of all trades and Rohit Bal aka Gudda continued their tiff at the HDIL Couture Week. I believe the tiff started at the launch of The Collective in Delhi some weeks back where K Jo felt Gudda spoilt his skit. By the way, whoever saw the skit wondered what was it all about. Later at The Collective launch Manish Malhotra joined Karan Johar in bitching about Gudda and blaming him for spoiling the show. Gudda was apparently a bit late and a little tipsy.

At HDIL Couture Week, Gudda lambasted the Bollywood(isation) of the Couture Week. I totally agree with Gudda on this. HDIL was nothing but Bollywood Tamasha. K Jo +Varum Bahl’s show had Big B, SRK and Hrithik Roshan on the ramp and Mumbai went gaga about it. Jitesh Pillai of Filmfare tweeted 12hours before the show that K Jo’s going to recreate K3G on the ramp so all that drama of pulling out SRK from his seat to the ramp and all that bonhomie between Big B and SRK was pre-planned but was presented as something impromptu. In all this brouhaha, everybody forgot the clothes, which were rather nice, thanks to Varun Bahl’s creative genius.

Gudda however gave it back in his own way to KJo on his TV show by sticking to his guns that fashion shouldn’t be mixed with Bollywood Bling.

The multi-faceted Karan Johar may go on blabbering on TV and newspaper interviews that he is, ‘Single and dying to Mingle’ but that

‘s not true at all.

K Jo has taken fancy to this hunk of a model, Sidharth Malhotra who moved from Delhi to Mumbai to try his luck in films. Now this good-looking guy is in K Jo’s core team. In fact in all the Karan Johar + Varun Bahl shows – In VanHeusen India Mensweek and in HDIL Couture Week, Kjo’s new love, Sidharth Malhotra opened and closed the shows.

Am so happy to know that Rohit Bal occasionally reads my Blog.

And unlike most, Gudda neither submits ‘Anonymous’ comments, nor uses any ‘Pseudonyms’. He is outright and bold and comments from the heart.

REVISITING OLD POST: “So K Jo’s Toy-Boy is the ‘Student of The Year’.”

When I posted way back in mid-November 2010 about Karan Johar’s latest toy-boy, Delhi model turned film aspirant Siddharth Malhotra, there was a lot of hue and cry from K Jo’s camp and friends. In fact a TV Channel quoted Johar in December 2010, “I am not making any movie with newcomers any time soon. All that gossip is rubbish.’ Oh yeah?

But then these full page advertisements screamed out loud that I was right. The Shahrukh Khan produced and Karan Johar directed movie – Student of The Year has Siddharth Malhotra (also the lead model at Karan Johar + Varun Bahl fashion shows), Varun Dhawan (David Dhawan’s son) and Alia Bhatt (Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter).Siddharth Malhotra is a good-looking guy and maybe he’ll turn out to be a great actor. Being Karan Johar’s pet can get you places. Hope K Jo gets him to his parlour for some Koffee and gup-shup!

K Jo is Thrilled for Roping in the Trashy Paris Hilton for His Show

Desperate to give his show Koffee with Karan- Season 4 an international flavour, Karan Johar has roped in the trashy American ‘Good-for-Nothin’ Socialite, Paris Hilton for his show. Wonder why Paris? Couldn’t he get anyone better or is it that Karan Johar is enamoured by Paris Hilton? On the other hand Simi Garewal managed to interview the biggest pop star – Lady Gaga!

Anyone who’s seen Paris Hilton on any late night chat shows in the US knows she can’t string two interesting words together to save her life, and does little but giggle in a breathy teenager’s voice. What could have possibly made K Jo think that she was a good choice of guest on his show? If this were Meryl Streep or Matt Damon coming to India or even pop-star Akon then Karan Johar would have been able to claim a massive scoop in getting an interview with them. Why is he rolling out the red carpet for someone as boring as Paris Hilton? He’s gone nuts!

Katrina Kaif Dazzled in Manish Malhotra @ Couture Week

A personal opinion – some Indian designers do not take criticism sportingly. I feel they should and that way they can raise the bar higher. I have often been asked: 

  • “Do you have any problem with XYZ designer?’
  •  I ask, “Why do you think so?” 
  • “No you have been critical of his/her work”.
  • I say, “If I am critical of his/her work that doesn’t mean I don’t like him/her. It is purely the clothes.”

Yes guys there is nothing personal when a scribe opiniates critically.

Manish Malhotra had a grand show on the penultimate day of PCJ Delhi Couture Week 2012. And then he had boisterous support from B-Towners like Karan Johar, Suzanne Roshan, Sheetal Mafatlal, Kajal Anand and Shaina NC rooting for every creation of his from the front-row.

Malhotra’s collection was ‘pretty’ and I am sure he will mint money out of this collection. Katrina Kaif looked gorgeous in a gold lehenga with pink borders and skimpy gold choli. But Manish I thought the choli could have had a snuggy fit. Also the layering of sheer net or Tulle was bit dense that almost hid the ornate ensemble beneath. The layering could have been more sheer. Felt like the net layer was more a cover to protect the garment from dust. What do you say???

Fashionable GULABI GANG

The moment I saw this picture of actor cum activist Shabana Azmi giving a standing ovation to Olympic Medal winning gritty boxer Mary Kom as she sashayed down the ramp, the words GULABI GANG sprung up in my mind. Two powerful ladies in PINK (GULABI) fits the bill to the ‘T’. Waaaddyaa say???

The image is from Shabana Azmi’s NGO, Mijwan Welfare Society, hosted a fashion show, Mijwan Sonnets in Fabric 2012. The show highlighted craftsmanship of Mijwan’s female population through Manish Malhotra’s designs.

And yes it seemed like all of Bollywood was on the ramp, especially the two directors from the now-famous Rs. 100 Crores ClubRohit Shetty and Prabhudeva. Oh yes…how can I forget B-Town’s darling Karan Johar. He too walked the ramp in a red thingy, which looked like a ‘Bandmaster’s’ uniform. How could you don that K Jo???

Some Great Fashion From The Capital

MG_Bal_SundayStandard The past week we in Delhi had a double dose of good fashion. First we had a sneak-peek at Rohit Bal’s ‘Gulbagh’ collection for the forthcoming Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2015 and then we enjoyed Manav Gangwani’s extravagant Haute Couture 2014 show. You can read my take on them in Sunday Standard. Here is the link to the ePaper: http://epaper.thesundaystandard.com/350106/The-Sunday-Standard-Delhi/05-10-2014#page/4/1

Bal_WIFW Finale MG_Sunday Thank God we don’t have B-Town walas like Karan Johar pretending to be a fashion designer and creating a capsule-collection for Vero Moda. It was just a styling job, which was actually done by Anaita Adjania but K Jo laughed all the way to the bank. Jabong, an eCommerce site also played the Bollywood gimmick by signing on Alia Bhatt to do a line for them. I think they are just aping the model initiated by High-Street fashion biggies like TopShop and H&M. ECommerce fashion retailing business is plagued by sites peddling fake stuff so I personally have an issue with that.

Anyway Delhi is the fashion capital of India and we enjoy some real fashion here!
