Well-known Rajasthani folk singer Mame Khan has talked about walking on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival 2022 in traditional attire because he wanted to represent the true culture and tradition of India.
He said: “People there wear various forms of clothes and all, so I was like what should I wear? I thought I’m from India and representing the folk culture of India so I wore a Rajasthani safa (turban) and a coat from Kanpur.”
He later shared how he had to wait for his luggage and he thought that if it is not coming on time he will not go on the red carpet.
“The interesting thing is everyone’s luggage had arrived except mine and Aishwarya Rai’s. I was stubborn that till the time my luggage doesn’t arrive I won’t go on the red carpet. There we have time slots and mine was at 4.30 p.

Mumbai, March 24 (Ians) Singer Akriti Kakar says that when she shifted to Mumbai from Delhi, her family was her biggest support. From her father leaving his business to support her dreams to her struggles to reach music composers, her journey, she recalls, has been a long and eventful one.
Akriti has lent her voice to songs such as "Aanan faanan", "Khuda-ya khair", "Iski uski" and "Saturday Saturday" amongst others. The singer, who shifted to Mumbai in the 2000s, tells Ians: "I have been very fortunate to be at the right place, at the right time and amongst the right. When I started it was very hard because there was no social media, there was no platform to put up a video and tag music composers and hope they would notice me. I was just a girl out of school who didn't even know whether the demo I carried was good enough.

New Delhi, Jan 5 (Ians) Singer Neha Bhasin, who started off as a contestant on a reality show almost two decades ago, says such platforms can be a great starting point but winning them does not always mean your career is set.
After emerging as one of the winners of the show "Coke [V] Popstars" in 2002, Neha became a member of the all girls band Viva. The band, which also consisted of Seema Ramchandani, Pratichee Mohapatra, Mahua Kamat and Anushka Manchanda, delivered hits such as "Hum naye geet sunaye" and "Jaago zara" but disintegrated after a few years as they all chose to pursue solo careers.
As a solo Bollywood singer, Neha has given hit songs such as "Kuchh khaas", "Dhunki" and "Jag ghoomeya".
"Reality shows can be a great starting point. It was a great one for me as well. Having said that, I did have to establish my solo career on my own.

This weekend’s Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa opened on a serious note and it proved to be a turning point for the existing contestants of the show. Saturday’s show opened with rehearsal footage of existing contestants. All the contestants were called on stage and the two unsafe contestants who would be in the face-off this week, would be announced.
Sreesanth and Puja were the two unsafe contestants. Puja was disappointed to be in the face-off once again.
For the first time, the face-off happened at the beginning of the show. Puja and Rajat were the first to perform. Their chosen dance style was Freestyle, and they performed to the song ‘Teri Meri Prem Kahani’ from Bodyguard. Their prop was a picture frame. All the acts would be featuring a prop this week as this was the theme. As always, Puja’s scores were saved and would be revealed after Sreesanth performed.

Saturday’s episode opened with hosts Manish and Ranvir sitting in a Sholay style motorbike singing ‘Ye Dosti, Hum Nahin Todenge’ from the film Sholay. The song ended and contestant Mouni proved to be a “distraction” for the boys and the audience were led to thinking they have had an accident. The next scene had two coffins and the judges and contestants were crying as if the hosts Manish and Ranvir are no more. But of course, they both turned up (much to the “disappointment of the judges/contestants!) and the show began as normal. Thankfully!
The first contestant who was safe from eliminations, was Sophie. It was great to see her out of the face-off and being the first contestant to perform on the show.

Following the mega-success of his previous novel-turned-film 3 Idiots (2009); you will soon see Chetan Bhagat’s romantic novel 2 States on celluloid when it releases on 18 April 2014. Starring Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the leading roles, the film is based on a North Indian boy falling in love with a South Indian girl and both have to deal with the cultural rivalry amongst their parents. The music to the film has been composed by trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Given the strong publicity surrounding the film, does the music to 2 States live up to our expectations? Read our review to see what we thought of it!
First up is ‘Offo,’ sung by Aditi Singh Sharma and Amitabh Bhattacharya. I like the youthful flavours of this song and instruments such as the electric guitar and drums have been well incorporated into the composition. I think this song is cool but...

From Bipasha Basu’s sensual debut in Jism, we have the unlikely but extremely suitable star in Sunny Leone who makes her entry into Bollywood in Jism 2. While Jism was a fairly good erotic thriller, it relied on that passionate music by M.M Kreem and that sizzling chemistry between Bipasha and John Abraham. The new installment features Leone, and her two heroes Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh who are caught in her trap. The film also marks Pooja Bhatt’s return to directing after the dud Kajraare so it looks like this one might be a surefire hit. Leone made quite the furore when she appeared on Big Boss last year, and the very clever Bhatt camp snapped her up for a role that would be right up her alley. The film has a lot of live up to with the wonderful songs like Jadoo Hai Nasha and...
