Bollywood actress Hema Malini and her daughter Esha walked the ramp for designer Rocky S at the 15th edition of Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WLIFW) Autumn-Winter 2010 here on Friday.
Designer Rocky S, who is among the Bollywood's most popular designers, showcased his bridal collection, a collection that he described in one word as ‘Grace.’
Rocky used bright colours with eclectic combinations like blue, red, teal, pink, peach, burgundy and green with a heavy use of borders, motifs and tassels used with all the bright hues.
The fabrics used included silk, georgette, chiffon and brocade.
The collections included all the traditional Indian lehenga cholis, saris, churidaar kurtas for women and brocade long coats known as sherwanis for men.
The designer said he created these keeping in mind the mother and sister of a bride.
"Well this is a very simple and traditional collection. I wanted it more for family… for a woman who is getting married; her sister can buy something, her mother can buy something. I wanted to keep it very traditional. So the colours are very pure…Indian colours. The fabrics are Indian… traditional embroidery is being used. I just wanted to stay away from black for a change," said Rocky S.
Actor Esha walked the ramp flaunting her heavily embroidered maroon and green bridal lehenga-choli, whereas Bollywood's veteran 'Dream Girl' Hema Malini accompanied her with grace in a similar coloured sari teamed with an embroidered burnt orange coloured blouse.
Hema Malini, who stole the show with her grace, praised Rocky's collection.
"It was wonderful working on the ramp with Esha for Rocky…it's a beautiful colour combination …2-3 colours are there in this sari with a striking bright blouse. So it looks very nice," said Hema Malini.
Designer Payal Jain also showcased her collection.
She titled her creations Solitary Monk, saying it was inspired by the mystic allure of the historical textiles and bewitched lifestyle of the monks in Laos.
The most inspiring features of the collection were the unorthodox usage of colour, print, texture and fabrics.
The fabrics ranging from linen and cotton jersey to hand-woven khadi to self-jacquards and soft flowing silk jerseys were draped and styled into clean and simple ensembles.
Attractive models stood tall and pretty in draped dresses, flowing tunics, structured jackets, bias skirts, prayer pants and draped shells in a colour palette of indigo, burnt coral, warm chocolate and slate black.
"This is a fall winter, you have to have warm colours. This collection is inspired by monks and monasteries, as you could see the bells, the music, the chanting and all," said Jain.
The WLIFW-AW 2010, hosted by the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), will witness the participation of 130 designers, 75 of them also presenting shows and among whom 19 are debutants.
The fashion extravaganza will feature 43 shows.

Shakira wants to start a family after her next tour
Shakira is looking forward to starting a family with her long-term fiance Antonio De La Rua. The singer is hoping to settle down but needs to fulfill her commitments first.
"Do I have any plans for children? Little wolves? Yeah, of course. I'd really like to have kids, but first I need to go on tour and release this new album - and then we can sit down and talk about it," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.
The 33-year-old star told the Big Issue magazine that even though she and Antonio got engaged over four years ago, marriage is no longer high on her list of priorities.
"Maybe 15 years ago, I'd dream about wearing a white gown, a wedding cake and a room full of guests and me feeding them canapés," she said.

Avatar premier: stars gather at Hollywood Boulevard
Hundreds of fans gathered at the Hollywood Boulevard Wednesday to catch a glimpse of their favorite stars at the opening of the most-awaited sci-fi project, Avatar.
Avatar, which is set to hit cinemas Friday, is a 3-D motion picture strongly acclaimed by its critics.
Hollywood stars gathered at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre, in the historic Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Directed by James Cameron
, of Titanic fame, the movie had an enormous budget of $310 million!
Cameron considers himself an innovative storyteller
Cameron, who has been called a visionary, was accompanied by his wife Suzy Amis. He talked to the reporters for half an hour after which the film was scheduled to screen.
The director believed the success of the film will be due to the emerging technologies and the storyline, which he considers to be innovative.
“I'm a techno geek and I love the innovative processes, but I never put that before telling a story,” said the 55-year-old.
“I spent a lot of time in the writing; I spent a lot of time thinking about the characters. I love working with the actors finding the characters. I love the casting process, finding the actors that will bring those characters to life,” he added.
The cast
The 3-D film is expected to take cinema to newer levels. The whole cast came to support it.
Sam Worthington came with girlfriend Natalie Mark, while Sigourney Weaver, who plays Dr. Grace Augustine, came with Giovanni Ribisi.
Zoe Saldana, Michelle Rodriguez, Bill Paxton and Tom Arnold, also came to support the movie. Esteemed Fox co-Chairmen Jim Giannopoulos and Tom Rothman were also seen.
The story
The story of the multi-million project is centered around Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) who is wounded in combat on Earth. He is selected to participate in the Avatar program, which could enable him to walk again.
Jake travels to Pandora, an extraterrestrial planet filled with incredible life forms. Pandora is also where the Navis (a race stronger than humans) live.
When the humans attack them, the Navis’--who are otherwise peaceful--harmony is disturbed.
Jake, however, falls in love with a young Navi girl, Neytiri, and thus gets caught in the battle to save his planet.
The term Avatar is a Sanskrit word which means “descent” or “form of oneself”.

Hollywood Eyes Record $10 Bln Box Office for 2009
Film box offices were poised on Wednesday to eclipse 2007's record $9.68 billion in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales with Hollywood eyeing more than $10 billion this year as audiences flocked to theaters during the recession.
Movie studios began the year with January crossing the $1 billion mark for the first time ever, and box offices this month are counting on help from highly anticipated films such as "Avatar," "Sherlock Holmes" and "It's Complicated."
So far, moviegoers had snapped up $9.67 billion worth of tickets at domestic -- U.S. and Canadian -- box offices through Tuesday, said tracking firm Hollywood.com Box Office.
The firm said 2007's record was expected to be surpassed on Wednesday, as Hollywood reaps returns during a recession that, as in past downturns, has seen consumers showing up in theaters for relatively cheap entertainment.
Last year's domestic box office came in at $9.63 billion.
"The global economy is taking a major hit, and when these conglomerates that own movie studios are having a tough time, it's at least one bright spot in the equation," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Hollywood.com Box Office. "People are still, in 2009, going to the movies in big numbers."
For the entire year, Hollywood.com Box Office expects movie ticket spending in the United States and Canada to hit $10.6 billion.
The year has been helped by major releases such as "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," the year's biggest hit with $402 million in domestic ticket sales, according to tracking firm Box Office Mojo.
At No. 2, so far, was "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," which made $301 million. Also, vampire romance "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" had the third biggest movie opening of all time for the United States and Canada.
Surprise hits have included Paramount Pictures' "Paranormal Activity" raking in $107 million. Warner Bros. put out two unexpected smashes, "The Hangover" ($277 million) and "The Blind Side" ($131 million and still counting.)

Bollywood moves hit Nanaimo
It's no secret that dance is becoming very popular these days, both as a social activity and as a form of fitness.
Bollywood is a relative newcomer to the North American dance scene, but with hit movies like Slumdog Millionaire offering audiences a taste of the popular Indian dance, interest in learning this dance style is growing.
Soul Sister Studio will present a Bollywood workshop for women with Victoria's Raji Basi this Saturday. The first workshop scheduled from noon to 2 p.m. filled almost immediately, so a second session has been added from 2:30-4:30 p.m. Both sessions will be the same, and will included both the slower, gentler Bollywood dance style, as well as the more energetic Bhangra style. The workshops will be held at Soul Sister, 210 Fourth St. in Harewood.
Born in the Punjab State of India, Basi taught herself to dance watching Bollywood films. Raji's passion are choreographing and dancing to Punjabi/Hindi songs, which she has performed in many local variety shows and for television programs. She has also taught dance to children and adults in Victoria. Raji was recently in Nanaimo to present a dance workshop at the Multicultural HealthFest and is excited to return to share her love of this dance form with Nanaimo.

Bollywood set to enthral audience with fantasy flick 'Aladin'
The classic tale of 'Aladin and the Magic Lamp' has undergone a modern-day transformation at the Bollywood studios and is all set to weave its magic around the audiences in the form of a new fantasy flick.
One of the best loved children stories, which first appeared in 'The Book of One Thousand and One Nights' has been adapted by film maker Sujoy Gosh to cater to the audience.
'Aladin' boasts of a commendable star cast, including Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan and Sri Lankan beauty queen Jacqueline Fernandez.
'Aladin' is the story of an orphan, Aladin, played by actor Riteish Deshmukh who lives in the city of Khwaish and is bullied since childhood by Kasim and his gang.
How his life takes a turn when he meets Jasmine played by Jacqueline, who gives him a magic lamp and what happens after that, forms the basic plot of the film.
Riteish Deshmukh, who has made a mark in comic roles, sounded quite excited to take a break from comedy and do something different.
"Aladin primarily is fun. It has romance, action and adventure, so it is complete family kind of a film. There will be funny bits, but it's not the kind of stuff that I've done before," Riteish said.
For Jacqueline, who is making her debut with this film, acting in a Hindi film was quite a tough thing to do.
"I would say its possibly one of the most challenging thing I've done in my life. It definitely was difficult to learn any language but I had a great team working with me. I had very cooperative co-stars and very cooperative director. It just made it all the more easier," said Jacqueline.
The film seems a good mix of magic and action and promises to floor the audiences with its new storyline.
The film will release on October 30.

Winning dance group gets rousing welcome in Orissa
Members of Orissa's victorious Prince Dance Group, all daily wage earners and none with professional dance training, got a rousing welcome in Berhampur railway station early Tuesday morning after winning the hotly-contested TV reality show 'India's Got Talent'.
The artistes reached Berhampur station by Konark express from Mumbai at about 1.30 a.m., a senior district police official told IANS. They won the grand finale in Mumbai Saturday night.
Residents of Berhampur and fans, including senior district government officials, were present at the station to welcome the contestants with flowers. The artistes were later taken to Berhampur town in a grand procession, the official said. Many of the fans burst crackers and shouted slogans praising the dancers.
The Prince Dance Group from Berhampur town, nearly 180 km from here, was selected out of 45,000 competitors to perform at the grand finale.
The group, comprising 26 artistes all below 22 years, held the audience and the judges spellbound with their performance, which was based on episodes from the Mahabharata.
Led by their 26-year-old dance teacher Krishna Mohan Reddy, who never had any formal training in dance, the group won the Rs.50 lakh (Rs.5 million) cash award and a Maruti Suzuki Ritz car.
Reddy, who arrived separately Monday, said all the artistes would now concentrate on dance.
'We are now planning to participate in international competitions,' he told reporters.
Reddy also thanked people of the state, the corporates, media and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik for encouraging them throughout the competition.

Tweets speak, Hollywood listens, warily
Although word of mouth could always make or break a movie, it usually took days to affect the box office. But the rise of social networking tools such as Twitter might be narrowing that time frame to hours. And that has Hollywood on edge.
This summer, movies such as "Bruno" and " G.I. Joe" have had unexpected tumbles at the box office -- just within their opening weekends -- while "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" survived blistering critical reaction to become a blockbuster.
Box-office watchers say the dramatic swings might be caused by Twitter and other social networking sites that can blast instant raves -- or pans -- to hundreds of people just minutes after the credits roll.
"Almost every time after I go out [to a movie], I'll tweet about it," says Lindsay Wailes, a cook and barista from Westminster, Md. "I tweeted about 'G.I. Joe' as soon as I left the theater."
Her take: "If you like science or plot, this isn't a movie for you; if you like explosions for no reason, you'll love it."
She also listens to what others have to say: She turned her back on "Bruno" because of downbeat Twitter reviews. Studios are trying to gauge the impact of an avalanche of tweets and how it affects the staying power of a movie. Was the 39 percent box-office drop of "Bruno" from Friday to Saturday a case of disappointed moviegoers tweeting from theater lobbies? Or did a limited fan base for "Bruno" exhaust itself on that first day?
"I think Twitter can't be stopped," says Stephen Bruno, the Weinstein Co.'s senior director of marketing. "Now you have to see it as an addition to the campaign of any movie. People want real-time news, and suddenly a studio can give it to them in a first-person way."
Eamonn Bowles, president of Magnolia Pictures, says studios are worrying about a time when "people will be Twittering during the opening credits -- and leaving when they don't like them." But he also warns, "the next step [for the Twitter Effect] is for studio marketing to manipulate it."
The Weinstein Co. has done that big-time for the Friday release of the Quentin Tarantino- Brad Pitt World War II epic "Inglourious Basterds."
The company packed a screening at San Diego's Comic-Con with people who won access via Twitter. It also staged "the first ever Red Carpet Twitter meet-up" during the movie's premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, generating celebrity tweets, including Sarah Silverman's "just made me smile forever" and Tony Hawk's "another Tarantino classic."
Twitter has broadened the reach of bloggers and other aspiring opinion-makers.
"Just two years ago, if I saw a movie I loved or I hated, I'd be able to tell a dozen friends, tops," says John Singh, who works for the movie and social networking Web site Flixster. "Now I can be walking out of a theater as the credits are rolling and immediately tell 500 people what I thought. ... It's never been this easy to be this influential."
Take "The Proposal," a film that had little buzz, yet has become one of the summer's most profitable productions. (It cost $40 million and is grossing upward of $159 million.) Flixster, which runs the Movies application for iPhones, worked with Disney/Touchstone to promote the Sandra Bullock- Ryan Reynolds romantic farce. Singh credits the campaign with increasing the film's opening-weekend haul by 30 percent.
Positive reviews from her Twitter friends can persuade Wailes to attend a film if she's "undecided." If it "gets raves from people I network with, since I know I have something in common with these people, I figure there must be something in the movie that I might want to see."
Gregg Kilday, film editor of The Hollywood Reporter, notes that it's impossible to separate the factors that would explain a film's drop or rise in box office.
"Even if you don't have Twitter, a lot of people, especially kids, have long had the ability to text each other, sometimes from within the theater," he says. "And for a lot of the mass-market movies, the potential audience will go whether friends tell them they're good or not."
Brandon Gray, president and founder of boxofficemojo.com, notes that the hit teen-romance vampire film "Twilight" dropped 41 percent from Friday to Saturday without any discussion of the Twitter Effect.
"There have been many indications through the years that films targeting teens and young adults will have a huge Friday and a more front-loaded weekend," Gray says. "That's just kind of how it goes."
Movietickets.com recently ran a poll in which 88 percent of the voting sample said Twitter had no effect on them. Joel Cohen, the company's executive vice president and general manager, thinks "we may be putting too much weight onto the Twitter Effect. But you can see Twitter's benefits as a communications tool that spreads the word about a film, and the negatives have yet to be proven."
Bowles, who distributed the documentary "Food, Inc.," acknowledges that "we did some Twitter-specific things, including a Twitter-cast with the movie's director, Robby Kenner."
But he's cautious when it comes to describing Twitter as a "revolutionary" force.
"Revolutionize moviegoing? No," he said. "But all the tiny little bits together [Twitter, MySpace, Facebook and others] can add up to something meaningful."

Brandon Gray, president and founder of boxofficemojo.com, notes that the hit teen-romance vampire film "Twilight" dropped 41 percent from Friday to Saturday without any discussion of the Twitter Effect.
"There have been many indications through the years that films targeting teens and young adults will have a huge Friday and a more front-loaded weekend," Gray says. "That's just kind of how it goes."
Movietickets.com recently ran a poll in which 88 percent of the voting sample said Twitter had no effect on them. Joel Cohen, the company's executive vice president and general manager, thinks "we may be putting too much weight onto the Twitter Effect. But you can see Twitter's benefits as a communications tool that spreads the word about a film, and the negatives have yet to be proven."
Bowles, who distributed the documentary "Food, Inc.," acknowledges that "we did some Twitter-specific things, including a Twitter-cast with the movie's director, Robby Kenner."
But he's cautious when it comes to describing Twitter as a "revolutionary" force.
"Revolutionize moviegoing? No," he said. "But all the tiny little bits together [Twitter, MySpace, Facebook and others] can add up to something meaningful."
Jennifer Aniston feels 'screwed over' by Bradley Cooper
Jennifer Aniston is deeply disappointed that her date with The Hangover star Bradley Cooper did not end in a relationship, it has emerged.
It is believed Aniston "honestly feels screwed over" after her date with Cooper. Fox News quoted a source as telling US Weekly: "She wanted to turn her date with Cooper into something."
The former Friends star was very upset on seeing Cooper with Renee Zellweger a few weeks later. Aniston "doesn't see what Renee has that she doesn't," the insider said.
"She just does her thing, has her friends and her life and is cool. She's really happy and doesn't need anyone to feel complete," another source said.
However, Aniston's pals say she will be okay soon. A pal said: "She's used to rejection."

I was apprehensive facing the camera after so many years: Amol Palekar
Amol Palekar, who considers filmmaking as his first love, was so fascinated by the protagonist in Samaantar that he was lured to act in the Marathi movie after a gap of nearly 25 years.
Palekar, essaying the role of industrialist Keshav Vaze in the soon-to-be-released film, which also stars Sharmila Tagore, says he was very apprehensive to face the camera after so many years.
"I was very apprehensive. I still am. When you have not used your craft for so many years it tends to get rusty but I could not resist the temptation to play Keshav in the movie," 64-year-old Palekar said in an interview.
"Bollywood is not the end of Indian cinema. There is lot of experiment happening in regional cinema. It is huge, diverse and no country other than India can offer so much in a platter. I believe that good regional cinema can be more binding and Samaantar is one such film," the actor, who was last seen in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Khamosh in 1985, says.
"When I read about Keshav, I immediately got drawn to the character which has a complexity and is multi-layered. I took up it as a challenge. I wanted to know whether I could do it or not," says Palekar, who immortalised the quintessential 'middle class man' of Hindi cinema of the 1970s with films like Golmaal, Chitchore and Ek Chhoti Si Baat.
The film by Big Pictures will be released on September 4 and with English sub-titles in the metros.
The film, written and co-directed by Palekar's wife Sandhya Gokhale, revolves around the story of Keshav, who achieves success but in the process ends up wrapped in his own melancholy prompting him to look back at his life.
He finds his lost love Shama (Sharmila), who is now leading a life of recluse. As Keshav strives to know more about Shama, he realises that though both had drifted apart they have been leading a parallel life sharing their loneliness.
"His (Keshav's) is a success story. He is leading hectic life but at the same time when he returns to his bed at the end of the day he is a very lonely man. This aspect was so fascinating and so challenging for me that I told myself that I want to try this out," the filmmaker says.
This role is not new to Palekar, who started his career as a director with Akriet (Misgotten) in 1981 and has tackled many unconventional themes in his journey -- be it a woman's decision to support her gay husband (Thaang) or a transvestite's struggle for a decent survival (Daayraa).
Palekar, who calls himself actor by accident and director by choice, says he found it challenging to shuffle between the duel responsibility of a director and actor in Samaanter.
"Directing the film was not easy because I had stopped doing that (acting and directing) after Ankaahi (1984). I still remember that my entire focus at that time used to be on direction."
"I used to get so consumed in my job as a director that I used to give least time to the actor Amol Palekar. When I realised that, I decided to let the actor rest and work as a filmmaker. But it was easier this time because I shifted the pressure to Sandhya," he says.
Palekar, whose last Hindi film (as a director only) was Dum Kata (A Tale of a Tail) starring Om Puri and Shernaz Patel in 2008, says he never felt the need to compromise with his craft.
"My film making process is very simple. I decide to make a film only if I love the subject and the theme. So much so that it becomes almost an obsession with me and I want to share it with people. Every subject comes with its own demands like the language, whether there should be songs or only music -- things that are dictated by the subject."
On whether he was under pressure to compromise with his craft, he says: "I came at a time when the industry had actors like Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna and Jitendra with larger-than-life images. No one thought that a hero like me could find success but I was loved by the audiences. As long as I am not trying to be a Rajesh Khanna or someone else there is no risk involved.
"I know what I want to do and how best I can do beyond that what is the fear? Whether the audiences will like it or not is perennial question that will always remain. I also don't believe that there is any success formula," he added.

Shahid Kapur's big RISK
With movie theatres in Mumbai remaining shut on Sunday, Shahid Kapoor's plan to mingle with his fans had gone for a toss. However, the actor has made it up as he has hit the ticket counters when they reopened post the swine flu panic in the city.
Speaking about the rave reviews of the film, he says, "The reaction from the audience has been amazing and I want to interact with them. People have given me great reviews and I feel very lucky and happy that my hard work has been noticed," he says.
But wasn't he apprehensive to sign this pulp genre film which has a very quirky plot? Such films either dazzle audiences or get completely rejected. "It was a gamble definitely as such films either shock people or they reject it but I'm happy that the risk has paid off well. I really had to get out of my comfort zone and break my boy-next-door image. The difference in my look is also great. I'm really happy that Vishal trusted me with the film," he says.
On the industry front, Saif Ali Khan in an interview had said he wants to patch up with Shahid. He also went back on his comment that he was offered Kaminey before Shahid. Is Shahid looking to bury the hatchet too?
"I never started anything with him. I learnt that he had commented to a paper that he was offered the film first and now he has clarified that he wasn't. I really appreciate that he clarified. It really takes a lot to clarify oneself after saying something different," he ends.

Catherine Zeta-Jones to star alongside Angela Lansbury in Broadway musical
Hollywood actress Catherine Zeta-Jones is all set to star in Broadway musical A Little Night Music, directed by Stephen Sondheim.
The romantic musical is about the love lives of several couples, alongside British-born actress Angela Lansbury, reports Contactmusic.
The 83-year-old TV, film and theatre star Lansbury only accepted the role on the premise that she would be working with a highly-rated co-star in New York's celebrated theatre district.
According to the New York Post: "The great Angela Lansbury agreed to play Madame Armfeldt, provided the producers lined up another star to play her daughter, Desiree. Lansbury didn't want to shoulder a multi-million dollar Broadway revival by herself."
The paper further reported that Catherine accepted the role after receiving a personal call from Sondheim.

Lay claim to greatness
Blame or claim -- that's the choice each of us has to make each day. Blame what's not working or claim the gift in the seemingly negative situation. The world needs more heroes. And heroes spend their days hunting for the best. They see the best amidst adversity. They see the best in others. They dig for the best in themselves. They claim their greatness. And in doing so, they get their best lives.
An extraordinary life is not something only available for the chosen few--people with perfect teeth and royal pedigrees. You and I are destined for greatness. We are meant to live spectacular lives. That's hardwired into our DNA. But we need to do our part to make it all happen. Choice by choice. Step by step.
Small gains eventually yield giant results. Life truly does want us to win. We only need to do our part. So lay claim to your greatness. Drive a stake into the ground to mark your place under the sun. Stop being a prisoner of your past and become the architect of your future. And remember, it's never too late to become the person you have always dreamed of being.

Learn or decay
There's a cure for ageing that no one talks about. It's called learning. In my mind, as long as you learn something new each day, stretch your personal frontiers and improve the way you think, you cannot grow old. Ageing only happens to people who lose their lust for getting better and disconnect from their natural base of curiosity.
"Every three or four years I pick up a new subject. It might be Japanese art; it may be economics. Three years of study are by no means enough to master a subject but they are enough to understand it. So for more than 60 years I have kept studying one subject at a time," said Peter Drucker, the father of modern management who lived until he was 95.
Last year, I had the joy of spending a couple of hours in conversation with Shimon Peres, the former Israeli prime minister and Nobel Prize winner. He was nearly 82 at the time, and I couldn't help but notice that his eyes actually sparkled as he spoke of his love of books, big ideas and learning. "Mr Peres, when do you read?" I asked. His reply: "Robin, when don't I read? I read when I get up in the morning, when I can during the day and every single evening. Most of my weekends are spent reading great books. Books are my constant companions."
He then added with a smile: "If you eat three times a day you'll be fed. But if you read three times a day you'll be wise."
Too many people never pick up a book after they've finished school. Unbelievable. Too many people spend more time watching TV than getting deep inside the minds of the greatest people who have walked the planet. Too many people have closed their minds to new insights and powerful thoughts.
One idea discovered in a one book can change the way you see the world. One idea read in one book can transform the way you communicate with people. One idea found in one book could help you live longer or be happier or drive your business to remarkable success. Never leave home without a book in your hand.

Dressing up papa Federer!
As a fashion designer, it is not surprising that Narendra Kumar has worked with many brands. So what's interesting is that at a time when Bollywood and sports stars end up being the faces of all Indian and international brands, he's been signed on as the brand ambassador for Swiss International Airlines.
Says Narendra, "I must admit that I was glad a designer was considered; it's high time we got out of the rut and companies started looking beyond these sections. More importantly, the company and I share the same principles -- we both believe in class and performance. So I identify with the company."
And it doesn't stop at that because while Narendra is the ambassador in India, tennis aceand father of twins Roger Federer is the international ambassador for the airline. "I must say that it's great to be in such esteemed company -- I am a fan of his. But it wouldn't be fair to compare us -- I mean, I am not a patch on him. He's in a different league; he's made history and I am far from anything like that -- at least as of now," laughs Nari.
That said, could this common factor between them also possibly translate into a future meeting between the two? "To be very honest, I am not sure how and when that's going to happen as he (Roger) is an extremely busy man. But if and when I meet him, I'd love to gift him one of my creations," he notes.
So what would he want Roger to wear? "I'd want to dress him in an outfit that is both Indian and international. He's an international figure, so global appeal is important. I'd make him a one-button cutaway suit which is an Indian version of the tuxedo. The fabric will be high quality wool in black colour while the shirt inside would be a white cotton dress shirt with French cuffs. The black woolen trousers would complete the look. So it would be like a westernised bandhgala; the jacket, in particular, will add that dash of Indianness," he explains.

Penelope Cruz loves London, but not its weather
Penelope Cruz does not quite like British weather. Dressed in a red trouser suit and heels for the UK premiere of her latest film Broken Embraces, she said that the English climate didn't suit her.
"I love London... but I have difficulties with the rainy weather," the Telegraph quoted her as saying. However, the weather remained fine despite earlier showers.
Broken Embraces is the fourth collaboration between Cruz and director Pedro Almodovar. And the Woman on Top star can't choose her best movie among it. She said: "That's hard, it's like choosing one of your kids."
The plot revolves around a film-maker who goes blind after an accident and struggles to re-engage with life.
Lindsay Lohan spends 11hrs in salon to get red hair bleached
Mean Girls star Lindsay Lohan has taken her obsession with Marilyn Monroe a step further, by spending 11 hours in a salon just to get her red hair bleached.
Lohan, 23, is also said to have had long extensions put in during her trip to the hairdressers, reports the Sun.
The actress finally emerged from a Beverly Hills salon puffing on a cigarette, though she covered up her new hairdo with a Fedora as she headed to on-off girlfriend DJ Sam Ronson's home.
Lohan had also revealed that she wanted to take her obsession with Monroe to the big screen, and star in a remake of movie classic 'Some Like It Hot'.
