n City S tylithe
It’s close to midnight when my flight enters UAE airspace. And before the in-flight updates could tell us of our arrival, announcing it was the glittering city itself that lay across the vast stretch as far as eyes could see. This was a sight that I wish I could forever make my memory screen-saver! I was here and like every visitor, felt like Dubai had laid a gleaming bejeweled carpet to welcome me to the dazzling city that was to be home for the following years to come. Navigating the city, the work-space and a new life in the days that followed strangely did not make me feel like an outsider. Dubai’s warm hospitality topped with a loving team and a Boss who ensured that I do not miss home, well I did not and it was as if, I’d belonged here. While piloting my life around the city was a cakewalk, what finally made me feel like Alice in Wonderland were the malls. Spoilt for choice, the uber-luxe fashion stores here spelt luxury, sumptuousness, opulence, couture, glamour and hi-end glitz… all scintillatingly tempting drawing you into the succulent world of style and all things indulgent! The extravagance of highend power dressing to watches to bags to jewelry to the accessories giving in to all things bling stirs the passion for style and a panache for dressing even in the most la-di-dah dressers. A default setting in most fashion-prone glamitas is the golden rule #1 Never overdress! Well, Dubai seems to throw that rule right back at your face dahlings and how! To be honest, you could never be over-dressed in Dubai even if you wanted. You could step into a mall schmoozing in your Manolo Blahniks, sporting Armanis or your Gucci, wrapped in Hermes and not feel out of place, or you could be loaded in all things bling and feel as comfortable as stepping into the Dubai streets, as you would in an opulent lounge. The city will match up with your sass, shine and shimmer and classy extravagance every step of the way and if you think you could outdo the grandeur and the glitzy a la mode of what Dubai is, then sorry fash-babes… you really got to try harder! If the peeps of Paris and New York spell high fashion, then the streets of Dubai spell the lap of luxury! The grandeur here is a companion that you will love to be flaunted by on the city’s arms. So, over-dressed in Dubai? Nah sweethearts good luck trying!

RUMOURS AND MORE
Rumours & More MARCH PAST It’s good to hear that the film industry is gradually getting back to normalcy. Shootings have slowly started and so have promotions. We saw the lovely looking screen couple - Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani coming together to promote their OTT release Laxmii. It was such a relief to see them sans masks. The sight filled us with that all-izz-well feeling...
RANVEER SINGH TO PLAY A DOUBLE ROLE IN ROHIT SHETTY’S NEXT Rohit Shetty and Ranveer Singh created a storm at the box office in 2018 with Simmba. Now we hear that they’re going to create mayhem once more with their adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Comedy Of Errors. It’s called Cirkus. The Shakespearean comedy dealt with a pair of twins separated at birth. The most famous adaptation of the play in Hindi cinema has been done by Gulzar. His Angoor (1982) starred Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Verma in double roles and is considered a cult classic. Rohit Shetty has always appreciated the core idea and it’s said some years ago he wanted to make the film with Shah Rukh Khan in the lead. Presented by Bhushan Kumar in association with Reliance Entertainment, the film will also star Pooja Hegde, Jacqueline Fernandez, Varun Sharma, Siddharth Jadhav, Johny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Ashwini Kalsekar and Murli Sharma. Ranveer Singh will start shooting for the film next month in Mumbai, followed by schedules in Ooty and Goa. So Ranveer and Varun Sharma will play the leads roles of people who have identical twins and are separated at birth. We’re sure this will be a heavyduty entertainer, like all Rohit Shetty films.
AJAY DEVGN TO PLAY LORD SHIVA IN ADIPURUSH?
Om Raut’s next Adipurush is one project that has already become the talk of the town. While Prabhas and Saif Ali Khan have already been confirmed for this adaptation of the Indian epic Ramayan, we now hear that Ajay Devgn might also be part of the film. It’s rumoured that he’s been approached to play Lord Shiva in the movie. While nothing has been confirmed, rumours are rife that Om Raut and Ajay Devgn will collaborate again for this project. We know that Ajay is a dedicated devotee of Lord Shiva and even has tattoos with Shaivism motifs on his body. So it might be a dreamcome-true for him to play his favourite deity.
Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar to shoot Badhaai Do in January Two years ago, Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao won our hearts with their story of an elderly couple expecting a child. The film showcased various taboos that exist in our society and questioned what is considered as ‘normal’. Badhaai Ho also featured Ayushmann Khurrana and Sanya Malhotra and was a massive success at the box-office. Now, we hear that a sequel to the film is on the cards. Titled Badhaai Do, the film will be helmed by Harshavardhan Kulkarni, who created Hunterrr in 2015. Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar have been signed as leads. Rajkummar will play the only male cop in a ‘mahila thana’ in the film. While Bhumi Pednekar will be playing the role of a PT teacher. Well, here’s hoping that Badhaai Do will provide double the entertainment than the first instalment.
KRITI SANON TO PLAY SITA IN OM RAUT’S ADIPURUSH AFTER SIGNING PRABHAS TO PLAY RAMA, SAIF TO PLAY RAVANA, THE MAKERS HAVE NOW GOT KRITI SANON TO PORTRAY SITA’S ROLE. AS PER OUR SOURCES, KRITI HAS ALREADY GIVEN HER NOD AND SHE’S HUGELY EXCITED ABOUT THE FILM. HER CAREER SEEMS TO BE ON A HIGH. SHE HAS MIMI, BACHCHAN PANDAY AND NOW ADIPURUSH.

VICKY KAUSHAL TO PILE ON WEIGHT FOR HIS NEXT
AAMIR KHAN’S SWEET GESTURE Aamir Khan is known for his philanthropic ways and is always reaching out to people in need. A few years back, a cab service called Sakha made an appearance on his show, Satyameva Jayate. The cab service employs only female drivers who’ve been victims of domestic abuse. Now we hear that Aamir, while shooting for Laal Singh Chaddha in Delhi, instructed his team to use only Sakha cabs for commuting. In fact, he even made arrangements for the accommodation of the female drivers as he had hired them for 45 days. Now isn’t it really sweet of the actor to support them?
TARA SUTARIA TO SING FOR DO VILLAIN A news item recently stated that Tara Sutaria had signed Mohit Suri’s Do Villain, which is a sequel to his Ek Villain. The film also stars Disha Patani, John Abraham, and Arjun Kapoor. We hear Tara plays a singer in the film. And she’s excited about the role. You might not know this but Tara is a professional singer, who’s been singing since the age of six. She has recorded music in India and abroad for films, commercials, concerts. She has also sung the song Slippin’ through my fingers, which featured in Bharat Dhabholkar’s play, Blame It On Yashraj. No wonder, she’s gung ho about this film. Tara has recently wrapped up Tadap, which is the remake of RX100 and will see her romancing Ahan Shetty.
Vicky Kaushal surely has an interesting line-up of films on his platter. He has a YRF film with Manushi Chillar which is supposed to be a comedy. Then he stars in The Immortal Ashwathama, to be directed by Aditya Dhar. The two will team up once again after the success of Uri: The Surgical Strike. The actor’s character is based on the mythological character Ashwatthama, the son of Dronacharya who was given the boon of immortality in the Mahabharata. For this three-part modern-day superhero film, Vicky Kaushal needs to train intensively and will have to weigh more than 100 kgs. Vicky will also have to train in horse-riding and various martial art forms, including jiu-jitsu and krav maga.
expert advice Rana Ibrahim Laser & Skin Care Specialist American Aesthetic Medical Center
Peel off your skin problems easily! Since the advent of the chemical peel treatment, issues of skin like fine lines, wrinkles, hyper-pigmentation, acne and scars stopped falling into the category of problems that cannot be treated. Scars caused by such things can no longer ruin your impression if you allow yourself to undergo proper treatment. WHAT DO CHEMICAL PEELS DO? The skin gets resurfaced by chemical peeling as it removes the superficial layer of skin, making it smooth, vibrant and beautiful. After the removal of the top layer, growth of a new one is promoted which helps in the improvement of skin thwarting problems like hyperpigmentation, fine lines, dark spots, wrinkles, uneven texture and skin impurities. HOW TO FIND OUT ABOUT WHICH ONE HAS TO BE CONSIDERED? Peels are sort of panacea for all skin related issues and all of the skin types are responsive to peels. But, it is always advisable to get a consultation from your doctor before treatment WHAT IS THE POST TREATMENT CARE? Since, your new skin is exposed to the environment after you undergo peels treatment, you should abstain from using any type of anti-viral or antibiotics and topical skincare products. DOES IT HURT TO UNDERGO A CHEMICAL PEEL TREATMENT? It does not hurt that much. Although, a little bit of warmth or slight stinging is felt after peels are applied which usually go away after 10-15 minutes. CAN SKIN BE REJUVENATED WITH CHEMICAL PEELS AFTER IT IS PERFORMED ON OTHER AREAS OF THE BODY? Definitely, it can work on any area having acne breakouts, scars, hyperpigmentation and other skin concerns. You can change the appearance of your skin anytime, your decision lies between your beauty and the treatment that you need. - Dr. Sana Sajan Director of American Aesthetic Medical Center December 2020 FILMFARE MIDDLE EAST 15

TIGER SHROFF 16 FILMFARE MIDDLE EAST December 2020
POWER PUFF SIBLINGS He is of the ripped muscles, of the languid dance movements, the chiseled jawline and one of the most successful young stars on the horizon. Also, is revered by young and old for his agility, discipline and his complete surrender to fitness. She is the tigress who makes things happen in the MMA venture, MFN she has created with her mother Ayesha Shroff. MFN is a platform for MMA fighters across India that empowers them by taking the sport to the next level including providing them livelihood. The Shroff siblings - Tiger and Krishna - speak fitness, movies, dance and MFN. The duo is in Dubai middle of December! Manju Ramanan catches up with them!
You are an epitome of fitness and now support a platform for MMA Matrix for fighters across India. What are the stories that inspire you? I’ve always had an inclination towards fitness ever since I can remember. It’s been a passion and a lifestyle for me that I’m lucky enough to implement in my body of work today. I’ve always been driven by the idea that if I slack off today, there’s going to be someone else out there who’s training harder to be better, and that idea pushes me through every day. While you were growing up, did you know that your kid sister would choose the profession she did? Who won the fights at home? Just like me, she’s always been inclined towards sports. She played football, basketball, and volleyball growing up and excelled in them too. She 100 per cent would win all the fights growing up, with an unfair advantage of 20 kgs over me! Dubai Fitness challenge is an initiative of the Dubai government encouraging fitness. Do you see more people across the world grow fitness conscious? Yes. I think more than ever before; the fitness industry is booming. People are becoming more and more conscious of fitness overall. Not just their physicality, but also more aware of the foods they’re putting in their bodies. I believe fitness is taking a more holistic approach today, which is great to see. How did you attune yourself to the discipline you follow? Do you remember any particular age when you got serious towards fitness? I always played sports growing up because it was my passion. I was never great at school, but school was enjoyable to me because of all the opportunities they offered us to compete with various schools across the country. When it came to fitness, I remember really taking that seriously and starting my journey in the 9th grade. What will be your advice to young people keen on fitness? Would you recommend sport, work-outs or dance? Everybody is different. Your fitness journey is a game of trial and error and it’s important to push yourself out of your comfort zone in order to find what truly works for you. Don’t be afraid to take the risks, it could end up being the best decision of your life. Which of your films demanded the most out of you physically? I would have to say Baaghi 3. With each film, I tend to push myself above and beyond what’s already expected because I believe my supporters deserve that. I want to keep bringing something new to the table for them to be entertained, as that brings me immense joy! How much does fitness run in the family and how much are you influencing now? Since we’re such a close-knit family, we influence each other greatly. Each one of us has our own strengths that we’re able to share with one another and that’s a great benefit to have. Tell us about your childhood with Krishna. Who was the bully and who got away? We’ve always been extremely close growing up. She was huge as a kid and I was extremely skinny, so she always had the upper hand when it came to strength, but I had the speed advantage over her, and was able to get away every time! That would always upset her. Dancing, acting, fitness and music - did you always want to dabble in all of them? Any roadblocks you encountered during that journey and how did you overcome them? Fitness was what I discovered first; however, I was never able to pursue that as a career beyond a point because there’s not a lot of scope for it in our country yet. I eventually gave December 2020 FILMFARE MIDDLE EAST 17
COVER STORY otherwise known for fitness and martial arts. Were you always inclined towards music? I think so because another one of my inspirations and someone else I studied very closely growing up was Michael Jackson. I always loved singing, but never publicly. I’m so happy to have had the opportunity to explore this a little more these past couple of months and I’m excited to keep growing in this field too. Tell us about your roles in Heropanti 2, Baaghi 4 and Ganapath? It’s a little too early to speak on these films, but I’m extremely excited to share a bigger and better version of myself through each of these roles soon. It’s a blessing to be a part of three franchises this early on in my career. How did you spend the lockdown? What are the things the lockdown taught you? The two biggest positives I was able to get out of lockdown was more family time than we’ve managed to have in a while as well as the ability to express myself through a whole new craft in music.
QUICK questions is Tiger Shroff lazy about? Q What Believe it or not, but going to the gym.
Q
Which is a dance you haven’t tried yet? Ballet.
in to acting and decided to give it a shot, as it was built in my subconscious, growing up around it. I quickly learned how difficult an industry it is to stand out in and decided to add as much into my arsenal as I could, so that’s when I decided to learn how to dance. That was something I never knew how to do before I decided to join the movies. I’ve always leaned more towards the creative side, so I was getting very impatient during lockdown as nobody was able to work for a while, and that’s how music came to me. I had to express myself in some way and felt like music was a great channel to be able to do so and connect with my audiences again. Hrithik Roshan told me in his interview that you inspired him during the making of War? How do you feel when someone you idolized is inspired by you? That was probably one of my highest points in my career till date. I’ve grown up studying him in this craft and only dreaming of being able to do half the things he does. Working with him so early on in my career was already a blessing. He’s an exceptional human being and I can’t say much more apart from the fact that I’ve been very lucky and blessed.

Q
What is your favourite holiday destination? Maldives.
Q Your favourite meal and why? I love Japanese cuisine because of the taste and the fact that you can still stay light on it.
is your father’s favourite films of yours and why? Q Which Parinda because of his performance in particular.
Q
The fittest actor and actress in Bollywood as per you? Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan, and Jacqueline Fernandez.
Tell us about your journey to fitness and what was the turning point and why? Like Tiger, I’ve always been super inclined towards sports and just a more active lifestyle in general. I think growing up around him and seeing all these larger-than-life things he does automatically triggered something inside me as well. I’m a very competitive person and I tend to surround myself with people who drive me to be better. Don’t get me wrong, I also love to enjoy the finer things in life, and am in no means as close to an extremist as Tiger is because I’m a strong believer of living a balanced lifestyle. Work hard to play hard. You not only turned superbly fit, you also launched MFN? Thank you. I’ve been extremely fascinated with Mixed Martial Arts for over a decade now. I respect all athletes; however, what I’ve seen MMA athletes give to their sport is like no other. I am extremely inspired by all fighters as apart from their physicality, the mental strength they possess is something else. MFN gives these athletes a platform to showcase themselves to the world just as they deserve to.
KRISHNA SHROFF
Why did you choose Dubai to launch your initiative? What is the event about? Dubai is the prime city in the world where East meets West, giving us a much wider audience. It is the ideal place to help grow the identity of our brand even further. The event will showcase India’s top fighters through seven exciting bouts. How do you choose your participants? What is the screening process like? We have a year-round feeder program administered by AIMMAA, our sanctioning body, where in a number of trials are conducted to pick up young and promising talent. How does your mom, Tiger and you divide roles in the initiative? Mom and I supervise and run everything behind the scenes, along with our Operations Head, Alan Fernandez who is considered the Godfather of MMA in India. Tiger just has to be Tiger. He’s the epitome of fitness and the perfect ambassador for this sport, so it’s a no-brainer. I’d say it’s a dream team. Did your dad’s lifestyle influence Tiger and your journey towards fitness? How? Dad’s idea of fitness slightly differs from ours. However, when it comes to nutrition, dad is king. The amount of knowledge he has when it comes to what kind of fuel your body needs is mind blowing. It’s one of our favourite topics of discussion, and when it comes to knowledge on that, I trust nobody more than him for the right guidance. What about diet? Are you particular about what you eat? What is that you binge on? I’ve always been a hardcore foodie, which is probably why I was a fat kid for 15 years of my life. However, ever since I started my fitness journey four and a half years ago, I began being more aware of what I put into my body. It’s never been a chore to do so because I enjoy healthy foods and the right nutrition. It fuels me for my workouts in the right way and makes me feel better overall. It’s definitely just become a lifestyle now. The two things I can binge on all day everyday are sushi and pizza. Those are my all-time favourite foods. December 2020 FILMFARE MIDDLE EAST 19

time with my entire family than I’ve had in recent years. We were all able to eat dinner together every night which was my favourite part of the days. Apart from that, we watched a bunch of great movies and brought back some of the childhood board games which was a lot of fun.
How do you now encourage and influence your parents towards the fitness journey? Well, mom and I are training partners. I don’t think I need to encourage her; in fact, she encourages me. Seeing her consistency and efforts everyday pushes me to do more. I don’t see anyone, especially her age, looking better than she does right now and that’s a fact. Does Tiger inspire you to pursue fitness further too like he inspires the world? Absolutely! I’ve always been very vocal in saying that he is 100 per cent my inspiration and motivation to do what I do and keep at it. If I wasn’t able to be inspired living with Tiger Shroff, then I would definitely have to check myself. How did you spend the lockdown days? The best gift lockdown gave me was the fact that I got more
What has the pandemic taught us as people - there were peacocks on Mumbai roads and the skies were clean? I think this pandemic taught us that we can live in simplicity. There are so many things that we want out of greed; however, we survived through it without a lot of those materialistic things, didn’t we? I also think it’s important to never take the people around you or what you have for granted because we’re a lot smaller in this universe than we think we are. What is the best way to stay positive during the current situation? I believe it’s important to focus on your blessings and count those instead of dwelling on what we don’t have or can’t have right now. Apart from that, it’s important to stay active. I always urge people to get some movement in everyday as a good workout releases endorphin that will be an instant mood lifter naturally. How do you see 2021 for the world? I already see it getting better from where we were at the start of the year, so I would like to stay positive and believe that it can only be uphill from here. I hope people remember the lessons this year taught all of us and implement it for our future world. If you and Tiger were cast in a film together, what would the genre be action, drama or comedy? 100 per cent action and maybe some comedy here and there because a lot of people don’t get to see Tiger’s humour like I do. He’s actually hilarious. You chose to promote MFN in Dubai? How do you see this expansion? We’ve been blessed to be associated with Dubai Sports Council who share the same vision as us. They’ve been extremely helpful and welcoming and we look forward to a longtime association with them. Dubai is the perfect blend of both the Eastern and Western worlds and constantly has people from all over the world, so I couldn’t imagine this show to be anywhere else in the world this time around. What are your fondest memories of Dubai? Honestly, too many to mention just a few. I lived in Dubai for two years and fell in love with the diversity and energy the city brings.

big and beautiful. It gives me confidence. How has the lockdown changed the process on film sets? Firstly, the number of hours of work are less. But the one thing I love about the process

of work now is that everybody’s time and life is precious. Earlier, make-up artists and hair stylists didn’t matter. No one cared what time we came and left, no one bothered about the environment we were

working in. The vanity van used to be dirty and the production wouldn’t care. There were only a few production houses who would actually look after us the entire time. But now, with COVID-19, it has become my right to
ask for a clean van and my right to not go if it is not clean enough. I hope this lasts forever. Make-up is constantly evolving with newer trends like wavy eyebrows and curly eyelashes. Where do you see it going from here? Yes, make-up is indeed constantly evolving and it will continue to do so. One of the biggest trends right now is the special effects make-up where they can make your leg look like a banana or your face look like a shark. It’s random but creative. It requires skill to achieve it. So the future of make-up is limitless. What people are realising is less is more and we do have people who love the natural look. On the other hand, there are ones who love to cake. Minimal or extravagant trends… What’s your preference? It depends on my mood. I love skin, so for me doing the no make-up look is the absolute favourite. But when there is an outfit or a personality sitting in front of me who I know can carry off something extravagant, I get inspired to do something amazing.

For someone who wears make-up regularly, skincare is a priority. What advice would you give them as an expert? Double cleansing. You use micellar water or make-up remover on your face to thoroughly remove all the product. Then use a mild milk-based or creambased cleanser to massage your face to remove the excess product from your face. The liquor removers don’t do the job completely. So double cleansing is very important. Who are some of your favourite make-up artists? Around the world, I love Pat McGrath, Lisa Eldridge and Kevin Aucoin. I love to follow them. In India, I love Clint Fernandes, Mickey Contractor, Anil Chinappa and Subash Vagal. If you were to pick someone to work with from around the globe, who would you pick? Meryl Streep from the older generation and Lily Collins from the younger generation. Who was the first person in the industry you worked with? I think my first break was with Sameera Reddy.

INTERVIEW
Vi rally ki ng... Spea He is the coolest name in the YouTube space, has been part of several TV ads, is a musician, comedian and a real influencer with 11.1 million followers on Instagram. His humorous posts at the time of writing this story was that of being quarantined after he discovered he had Covid 19. The sensational Bhuvan Bam speaks to Manju Ramanan on how he rose from being a common man to becoming the undisputed king of content!
Did you envision this kind of success? Words like a YouTube Sensation, Influencer, Youth icon, King of Content – how do you react to all these?
I had never imagined such new levels of success with every passing day. I had never thought that one video of mine would create a rage all across the world-wide web. I was just a common man in Delhi a few years ago and this success is all because of the love of my fans. It is the connection and relatability that has earned me faithful fans. Of course, there has been a lot of blood and sweat that has gone into my videos.
How did you get fascinated by the visual medium?
I used to see a lot of videos on the internet. One day, I just randomly uploaded a video on Facebook but it didn’t receive many views or likes. I was unaware of the fact, until one of my friends told me that you can actually monetize when you post videos on YouTube. I had never imagined a career on YouTube. I just had some jokes in mind and I did it for fun. I never realized when this became a full-time profession.
Tell us about your childhood in Baroda. Were you always fond of humor and singing/acting? Yes, I was born in Baroda. After my 12th, I discovered my passion for music. At the very start of my career,
36 FILMFARE MIDDLE EAST December 2020
I used to sing at bars and restaurants in Delhi which was my basic source of income then and I knew that music is something I would want to pursue in the future. Humour came naturally to me. Though my first video, ‘The Chakhna Issue’ received only 20 views. I was still dedicated to the idea of making people laugh and I continued uploading more videos nonetheless. I started ‘BB ki Vines’ in 2015 with the idea of just creating good content by observing people, depicting the life of an urban teenager and the sarcastic, whimsical conversations with his friends and family. I never knew people would like it so much. I posted more videos later and the rest as they say is history.
Your early video- a satire on an insensitive newsreader had 15 viewers – went viral in Pakistan. Did people mistake you to be Pakistani?
Yes. That was my first video in 2015 after watching a very bizarre piece of news, where a reporter was asking a woman how it felt to have lost her son in the Kashmir floods. That was something very strange. I thought I should make a satirical video out of it. I posted that on YouTube and it got only 15 likes! Then the third or fourth video I posted, got viral in Pakistan, crossing over 15,000 likes with comments from Karachi and Islamabad and Rawalpindi. I realized I was becoming popular internationally. But people assumed I am a Pakistani.
How do you see the creation of new stars like yourself and the influencers brigade? How many are authentic and how do people know the difference?
Many brands are investing a lot of resources and time in influencers and I feel it makes sense. Influencers through their social media have harnessed that accessibility, built connections, and gained the trust of their followers. I also feel that we share a strong rapport with our community. So, when an influencer promotes something, it reaches out to a larger audience and people feel that connection with the product. As far as authenticity is concerned, I feel engagement is the main criteria. As content creators, we have to be creative and original while keeping our audience in mind.
Have you felt boredom at any point in creating content and taken a break and returned refreshed?
I don’t feel bored with what I do. Of course, there are times when the creative juices are stuck somewhere, unable to flow. I try and pen down ideas as soon as they are in my head. It’s just a way to store them and review them when the time approaches. I am most creative, late at night. I have produced some of my best work at night. Also, I do take breaks when needed. It just helps me analyze what I’ve been doing right, and what isn’t working.
You have also spoofed your own social distancing habits during the Covid period – how did you manage that?
I had created a series called ‘Titu Talks’ wherein I am

INTERVIEW
impersonating Titu Mama who interviewed farmers, electricians, transgenders and milkmen to understand their plight during the lockdown. Initially, I was really scared to even step out of the house but then the series was to raise funds to help needy people in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. So, I just went ahead, taking all the necessary precautions.
How big a Bollywood fan are you and what are the film genres you love to spoof and make fun of? I love Bollywood! It is so colorful. Bollywood is known for its comedy, emotions, singing, dancing, action, and presumably all kinds of genres! There is a certain uniqueness in the storyline, the concept, and the production compared to other films all over the world. I was so happy when I made my Bollywood debut with Plus Minus. The story itself was compelling enough for me to jump onto it and gladly be a part of it. It really depends on my mood and the kind of storyline I am going for when I am spoofing a particular character.
You are a part of so many commercials, so how often do you prompt the scripting process?
Whenever I’m endorsing a brand I make it a point that the brand aligns with my vision and is relevant to me and my audience. I believe in only promoting the brands that are true to their name and deliver with great passion, thus the scripting automatically falls into place. People follow me and like my content because it’s relatable and hence it is equally important that the brands I associate with also mirrors my personality.
How do you create your 19 characters and are they inspired from real life? Why do you love Titu Mama the most?
All my characters are based on mere observations. I observe people around me and spend a considerable amount of time analyzing and studying their traits and way of talking. Then it all combines with exaggerated middle-class comedy where I sometimes take inspiration 38 FILMFARE MIDDLE EAST December 2020
from my own family. Titu Mama is my favourite of all, he is the only one character inspired from real life. When my mama actually saw the character for the first time, he called me up and asked, ‘Yeh main hoon kya?’ and when I told him yes, he said, ‘Bohot jordaar hai! Keep it up’. He lives in Baroda and he said that I have made him famous there.
How important is it for you to laugh at yourself?
It is extremely important! If my content is not funny enough for me, how will it work for my audience! Hence, I believe in investing time and creating relevant and quality content, and that is why I never rush into making a video. Audiences are very smart today and know exactly what they want to consume. My content calls for a laugh at myself, and thus I know it’ll make my audiences laugh too.
How did you manage the lows of your life?
Life sometimes takes us in different directions, everything isn’t always perfect for us to be happy and to appreciate ourselves and everything around us. That’s why it is important to live in the moment, without thinking of the past or worrying about the future. Taking care of yourself is something so underestimated. Maybe due to the lack of time or because everyone is busy in their everyday lives we don’t devote enough time to ourselves. I feel sometimes we need to go easy on ourselves. Whenever I feel low I take up a new hobby, an activity which I always wanted to do but never found time for, I spend more time with my parents. Also, I have to admit that for me, music is the cure to everything. I love listening to anything which is mellow, it not only releases stress but also makes me feel a lot better.
Five unusual things that the pandemic has taught you?
The most important thing this pandemic has taught
me is the importance and the subtle joy of meeting and spending time with your loved ones. The things we all took for granted, have now become mere luxury. The pandemic has surely taught us simple joys of cooking our own meal and stepping outside our houses without fear or hesitation. Of all the unrealized plans, be it birthdays, travels, weddings, etc. with the blessing of technology we could now experience most of it online. From virtual parties to live stream events and festivals. The biggest take-away was how fragile we humans are, our strength lies in being a part of the community. I learnt the value that each and every individual around me adds to my life. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves how important kindness is.
Will the ‘BB Ki Vines’ series be made into a feature film – tell us about it?
I would love to have the BB Ki Universe characters come together for a full-length feature film. We haven’t planned anything as yet! Let’s see how things turn out in the future.
Tell us about your impressions of the Middle East. When did you visit Dubai for the first time?
I’m in complete awe of the Middle East. I have visited Dubai quite a few times and I have simply loved it every time. It’s really heart-warming to see the kind of love and support I’ve been receiving from my fans there. I hope to visit again soon, once all this is over.

She’s barely 18 years old, but the stunning and talented Celina Sharma is already a name to reckon with in the international entertainment industry. Having collaborated on chart-topping singles with singers like Emiway Bantai, Badshah, Asees Kaur… the singer-songwriter’s soaring at heights that most artistes can only dream of, and the world’s truly her oyster. This sensational young songstress has most recently lent her voice for one of Marvel’s upcoming big ticket movies! And in an exclusive chat with Aakanksha Naval-Shetye the gorgeous performer reveals this is only the beginning of realizing her big Bollywood dream 42 FILMFARE MIDDLE EAST December 2020
Your dad is Indian, mom is Italian, you’re born and brought up in Australia, love Punjab, dream of Mumbai, live in London and are currently in Dubai… Where does your heart belong?
I
think that would be Punjab! Since my dad is from there, I have a natural affinity towards the place and the culture, it’s like going back to my roots. But I do want to work in Bollywood so Mumbai’s where my sights are set. Australia is where I’ve grown, and that’s a place I love, and London is where I moved to when I was 15 to pursue my dream as an artiste, and it holds a special place too. And Dubai, I just love the shopping and the vibe here.
You have lent your voice for an upcoming Marvel movie… That’s huge!
Yes, thank you, and it’s more special because Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) Avengers happens to be one of my favourite films. As for the film that I have recorded for, I’m not at a liberty to reveal anything about the project, except that being Marvel it is huge and I’m beyond thrilled! To be a part of a Marvel movie is obviously like a dream and I’m grateful that everything is happening at such a young age. But I am only five percent of where I want to be, and I have a long way to go.
Fans refer to you as India’s answer to international pop sensation Selena Gomez!
When did you first decide to be a singer?
That’s kind of them, it’s a compliment (laughs) though like I said I have a long way to go. As for being a singer, I’ve always wated to be one since I was six. That’s when I started learning music too. Besides, Bollywood has always been a huge influence, and even as a kid, I would love singing and dancing all the time. So, Bollywood and being an artiste is a dream I’ve nurtured since I was a kid and when I was 15, I decided to pursue it seriously and moved to London where I signed my big contract with Virgin EMI. I realized early on that to chase your dreams you have to make sacrifices, and for me leaving behind Australia to pursue what I wanted to do was just that.
You have a following of 1.5 million plus on TikTok and you have cracked the masses, and the classes globally… what’s on your plate in the long run?
Yes, after signing the label my first major single was ‘Lean on Me’ with Emiway Bantai which was last year, then there was a collab with Badshah and I’ve done a song with Asees Kaur on my remix. We are working on a few more songs with her. Plus this Marvel movie is coming up, also I went on tour with the global DJ Jonas Blue, so travelling around UK, I’ll be going to Japan, then to India.
BOLLYWOOD DREAMS Well, I have always wanted to be a performer, and Bollywood has been a staple all through my growing years too, so I really want to be a part of the film industry, though I want to do something in singing first. I want to be a global artiste and represent India and be an inspiration to girls across. As for acting... I would like that as I’ve always loved it. I’d love to do comedy and like I said, I enjoy dancing and singing too. So, I’d love to do something for sure.
Having achieved so much at such a young age must’ve required hard work, sacrifices, especially as a teenager…
Sometimes I do wish I could be hanging out with my friends instead of being in a studio all day, but the end result makes it worth it all. Also, I’m very careful about maintaining a good profile, because there are young people who are looking up to you. A lot of them are kids, so I make sure I am a good influence and hope they look up at me as an inspiration and I take this responsibility seriously.
Who are the artistes that you look up to?
That would be Beyonce! She’s definitely my idol and she too shares a very beautiful and a strong relationship with her mom just like I do with my mom. Since a young age, she’s been chasing her dreams, working her hard and she’s really influenced me as an artiste and as a person.
What do you do when not busy with your recordings?
I’m like any other girl my age, I like hanging out on the beaches, I love dressing up, so fashion, jewelry, shopping is huge! I love letting my hair down and having fun. I love a few series, so l watch those when I have time.
Have you had to deal with trollers?
Oh yes, there are always haters and trollers, but I believe I’m stronger than them. I always knew that it won’t be easy and there’ll always be such people, but I just block out all the hate. I have developed a strong mentality of determination and hard-work and I know who I am. Being an artiste is a dream I’ve had since I was six and I have never given up. I know things will push you down, but I’ve always believed in getting back up. PICTURE CREDIT YASIR ARAFAT | CREDIT STYLIST: AYESHA DEPALA LOCATION: V HOTEL DUBAI, CURIO COLLECTION BY HILTON

BREAKOUT STARS 2020
These actors have packed in a punch with their breakthrough performances across the digital platforms and have stood out with their impactful screen presence. Aakanksha Naval-Shetye lists five such names who've hit the bullseye in the OTT space!
W
ith the global Coronavirus pandemic throwing the theatres and most theatrical releases off gear, the OTT platforms emerged as the new hub where all the action and entertainment has been all year through. And along with the massive and path-breaking content, the digital medium has also been flooded with some of the most outstanding performances seen in recent times. While some of the shows top-lined by known stars helped them cement their positions further, there were lesser-known or newer actors who completely rocked the scene by their sheer acting talent and earned their own fan-base! Carving their own paths straight to win the hearts of the audience, their career trajectories have hit an upward swing. Here’s taking a look at 5 such breakout actors of the OTT this year:
Pratik Gandhi
H
ansal Mehta’s biographical drama Scam 1992 aired on SonyLIV, and went on to become a sleeper hit on the OTT. And while the show garnered a tremendous response overall, there was one actor who simply wowed the audience with his power-packed performance and walked away with the spotlight – Pratik Gandhi! Known for Gujarati films like Wrong Side Raju (2016), Ventilator (2018), among others, Pratik is quite an acclaimed name in Gujarati theatre and the film industry. In fact, he has earlier dabbled in Bollywood as well. But it is with his gripping performance as Harshad Mehta in the webseries that the actor shot to instant PanIndia fame as he created quite a buzz with his realism-seeped theatrics. His convincing performance made the actor a household name overnight and he certainly earns a spot in this list of top 5 breakout stars!

And the actor who plays the character in the Amazon hit webseries with aplomb – Jaideep Ahlawat! The actor, who has films like Commando: A One Man Army, Raazi, Gangs of Wasseypur… in his repertoire, amazed audience with his nuanced and convincing performance as a system-weary policeman. His effortless realistic portrayal redefines ‘hero’ and gives OTT one of the most memorable characters. A stand-out performance, take a bow for this one Jaideep!

he actress made a rather impactful debut in regional cinema with the Marathi film Lai Bhaari (2014).But it was as Bhumi in 2020s Netflix Original Series She that she made people sit back and take notice of her as a firebrand performer and her name instantly registered among reviewers and audiences as an actor to watch out for. And proving that her success and acting talent was no flash-in-the-pan, she quickly topped up her newfound popularity with another acclaimed performance in the Bobby Deol starrer MX original series Aashram that also saw her garner much acclaim.
Jitendra Kumar
T
he actor has been a part of many popular shows since 2014 and this year also saw him in the Bollywood comedy Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan that garnered him critical acclaim both from viewers and reviewers. However it is with Amazon’s 2020 comedy web TVseries Panchayat that Jitendra Kumar hit bulls-eye with the audience and won hearts with his endearing act as a reluctant participant of a rural set-up. This one was easily Jitendra’s breakout performance as the audience is now eagerly awaiting to see him take the character forward on a romantic track in Season 2.

opular theatre actor Anjum Sharma has earlier done some interesting films in Bollywood like Wazir. However it is his calculative and shrewd character Sharad Shukla in the blockbuster crime webseries Mirzapur that catapulted him into the A-league of actors on the OTT. From waiting in the wings in the first season, the actor came in to his own in the second season, thanks to his layered performance. And Anjum takes it to another level with his effortless screen presence maintaining the unpredictability of his character and giving enough to look out for in the third season of this superhit Amazon Original.

Filmmakers are known to be a number-crunching lot. However unlike the others, Apoorva Lakhia’s numbers don’t revolve around the Box Office collections alone! Instead, the ones that really matter to him are 126, 50, and 28 – that is the number of solo sky-dives, scuba-dives, and tattoos, respectively the action filmmaker has done so far! This is one filmmaker who not only makes his films larger-thanlife, but his own persona mirrors it too. The director known for his adrenaline pumping high-octane action sequences, stylised cinematic sensibilities and films like Shootout at Lokhandwala, Ek Ajnabee, Haseena Parkar, and his OTT directorial debut Crackdown that crossed 50 million views, among others, was recently in Dubai for his cricket tournament. And as Aakanksha Naval-Shetye caught up with Apoorva Lakhia on a sunny afternoon, the adventurous daredevil filmmaker revealed that he planned to add as many as 10 more sky-dives to his total while enjoying his stay in Dubai 52 FILMFARE MIDDLE EAST December 2020

So what brings you to Dubai? e organized a tournament in Dubai - the Ultimate Kricket Challenge. The basic idea is of seeing two world-class cricketers playing against one another in a glass cage. And it’s interesting because while there are so many formats of cricket, it’s always been a team game. So, while a player may score a hundred runs his team may still lose, while another player may score a zero, yet his team could win. But in UKC, it’s a one-on-one play-off, so there’s a different fierceness to the sport, a mind-game, one-upmanship, ego, but great fun over all! It turned out to be really successful and we’re very thrilled.

An avid cricketer, a chef, an adventure-buff, boxer-dad, sneaker-head, traveler, tattoolover… where does being a filmmaker fit in all of this? My life has decided that when I need money I make a movie, so for me filmmaking comes at a lower priority! In fact, even there, I enjoy the process of filmmaking, so I make movies for free, but I charge money for
all that comes after the movie releases (laughs). I like living life and hate getting into the rut of things. So I average one film every three years not because I don’t get offers, but I believe that life is so much more than just following one profession. My main reason to make money is so that I can live life on my terms… If I have money in my pocket, I don’t have to do anything for anyone that I don’t want to and that’s all I need! I don’t need money to buy more houses or fancy cars or expensive watches. I’m a sneaker-head though and collect rare Nikes. I buy, bid, follow the sneaker stock-market… I also have three dogs who I really love. So, there are so many interesting things - travelling around the world, there’s cricket, sky-diving, my culinary pursuits, scuba-diving, bungee-jumping, many more adventure sports, reading… and I do it all. But in an industry where you need to be seen and heard aren’t you worried about losing plum projects? There’s obviously a compromise there because our industry is based on a Friday. My last two films haven’t done as well as I thought they would have done, but I still get work. So yes, obviously I have a reputation that I’m proud of and it works for me. But above it all, I have people who believe in what I bring to the table and whether the films work or not, they believe in me and my vision as a filmmaker, so luckily there’s never a dearth of films. Also I look at myself as a film technician, and I don’t think a technician can ever run out of work. So it is possible for me to be under the radar. The radar here is the way people perceive you on the social platforms, like how many followers you have… That’s what people mistake you for what you are on the social media and I’m none of those! So it’s all just a matter of priorities and I have decided that there are certain things more important in life than people knowing who you are or being known as something… I’m very happy being under the radar as long as I’m happy in my personal life. Doesn’t it worry you that it might get misconstrued as arrogance? People do tend to perceive that I’m arrogant or I’m sanki! But that is something I do own up to, yes, I am arrogant. But I’m not arrogant in terms of putting people down. By arrogant I mean I don’t care about backlash, I’m unapproachable and it’s difficult to pin me down, including for interviews. This one’s different because you’re a friend (laughs). It’s like a shield I have developed. In our industry people will take advantage of you and I’ve chosen to not being taken advantage of. It’s a façade I have put up to safeguard me, but I go to sleep every
night knowing well that I haven’t done anything wrong. The important thing is that my friends know who I really am and they know I’m always there for them You are one of the most unconventional and non-filmi filmmakers we’ve seen on the Bollywood block… It was confusing for me too in the beginning. I don’t come from a very affluent family, but I always knew I wanted to be a filmmaker. When I finished school I didn’t go to college and I couldn’t afford to go to a film school either, so I started assisting. I worked as an Assistant Director for more than 15 years including working in the West. I had certain goals like wanting to make my first film by a certain age but I couldn’t do it. Back then, it was all about paying rents, so when my first film flopped I went back to assisting, which made me learn a lot like there should never be ego involved when it comes to paying a rent… the thought of how am I going to survive the next month humbles you. Later when I started getting recognized, when I started making money, it was confusing as there was no one to guide me! You know you want to be famous and popular like ‘The Joneses’, you want to be invited everywhere, you felt bad if you’re not invited, so I spent two-three years like that. But one day I asked myself what was I doing! Because my life is so much better as an individual and I started doing everything only after I was financially stable and that was after 35… So, I just decided that there are so many things that need to be done that I haven’t and that’s how it all started. Your movies are known to be larger-than-life and that’s how you live your life too. But what came first… Are the films an extension of you or your persona mirrors the movies? I don’t look at them as separate entities. I think it works both ways… My experiences spill onto the screen too, so somewhere what is being projected is part of me. But for me larger than life is not about having fancy cars. For me it is simpIy being able to enjoy life on my terms. So it all started when I took a year off from filmmaking and went to New York and joined the French Culinary Institute, got my chef’s degree, worked in a couple of restaurants in America. So since then, after every movie I just take off… I took off to Japan, lived there for two months all alone and learned how to cook there. Went to Thailand… learned to cook there… So, that’s one thing for me. I live alone, but I have a big table that can seat 14 people. I cook for my friends, like seven-eight course meals. That’s just the way I live my life...
I portray my men the way I myself am. So my heroes are raw, they are tough, they have a swagger, but at the same time they are broken and you know that’s what life is all about.

INTERVIEW The whirlpool of trying to prove who is better doesn’t bother me. Everyone gets their chance! As for criticism, we are in an industry that comes with a lot of perks, and if I use those perks then I can’t complain about the disadvantages either. You put yourself out there, and if people have a right to appreciate, they also have a right to criticize if they don’t like your work. How would you describe yourself? I’m Apoorva ya. I’m a simple guy, I value friendship, value loyalty… What’s there to me, I’m like an onion… there are layers to peel to get to know me, sometimes you cry, sometimes you’ll laugh, but that’s who I am. How do you look back on the journey so far? I have been working in the film industry for 20 years now. I’m an insider now, but I still watch it from the outside. I love the people here. I have a few, but very good friends in the industry – Abhishek (Bachchan), Zoya (Akhtar), Suniel (Shetty) and Suniel is like a guide and a mentor. I don’t like everything about the industry, but it’s a good place to be. It’s given me so much. I’ve made great friends down the road.
Larger-than-life or not, for me this is the only way to be.. The men in your films are very distinct… they are macho, flawed and there’s a huge emphasis on loyalty and bromance! I portray my men the way I myself am. So my heroes are raw, they are tough, they have a swagger, but at the same time they are broken and you know that’s what life is all about. I see a lot of myself in the characters of the men I put out on screen. No one is perfect, everyone has certain hopes and flaws. And yes, loyalty and bromance also come from my personal life. I grew up in a hostel since I was six and I have grown with a close bunch of friends and they are still my best friends. For me, being a man is all about your word and friendship and loyalty is very important, so my characters somewhere reflect that too. What’s the fascination with action and gangsters? There’s no fascination as such to be honest. You know in our industry we get categorized by doing some films, so even if I have a comedy, producers would be like haan this is okay but how about you doing action for us! Having said that there’s a lot of research I’ve done back from the days when I was an assistant director in the West. I have met people on both sides. Good and bad, they are real and the focus is on keeping them human. Tell us more about your work in the West, you’ve worked with some of the biggest names there! I assisted Mira Nair on The Perez Family and a few other films and that’s how it started. Then I worked with Robert De Niro, and with the late Philip Seymour Hoffman I enjoyed playing table-tennis, Matthew Broderick and I became friends after we worked on Addicted to Love and I had also shot the pilot episode of The Sopranos. Then they put me into the action team on Die Hard. And somehow that stayed, I would always be put in charge of the action units so I got to know the action really well. It’s like how a choreographer knows the right moves... likewise, action angles and scenes came naturally to me and that stayed on when I made my films here. How do you deal with competition and criticism? 54 FILMFARE MIDDLE EAST December 2020
Life lessons learnt? One thing that people don’t realize is that your destiny is written as per our Hindu mythology, but it doesn’t come to you. You have to work for it and grab your chance and that is pretty much what life is all about. Also it’s not all about what, it all depends on how you do it. You make mistakes, but they are your mistakes and you learn from them. How’s it going here in Dubai? You just got your 28th tattoo done here… Yes it’s a pic of my mom, my brother and me. I love tattoos and strangely it doesn’t hurt me at all. This is the longest that I have been here. Dubai is a cleaner version of Mumbai, the vibe is very happening. The food scene here is fantastic and I did quad biking in the dunes, which I was planning since long. I have done 126 solo jumps from 15,000 feet. Now I will go for an advanced course, as I want to add 10 more solo sky-dives this time around.

In a the of his
She has dressed up the iconic Kamal Haasan for
Bigg Boss, styled Shruti Haasan for the recent Filmfare ME cover and has an enviable client list that is pan Indian. Designer and stylist Amritha Ram speaks to Manju Ramanan on dressing up some of the biggest South Indian stars!
I
You designed for Kamal Haasan in the Tamil version of Bigg Boss?
Your street shopping videos are pretty popular?
Tell us about Kamal Sir’s personal style?
Were you always keen on a career in fashion?
always wanted to be a stylist from my childhood. I used to make my own combinations in clothes. My great grandparents belonged to Damil, a little village near Kanjivaram and had access to taris and hand-looms back then. Most of our relatives owned their own silk houses in Kanjivaram and I remember when I was in seventh or eighth grade, once for Diwali I wanted a silk skirt in mercury with coffee brown border. It is a very rare combination. Or a peacock green-rani combination woven in silk. I realised that I love everything about styling. It stirs me and brings happiness to me. Dressing gets you into that mood of cheer, happiness, joy and positivity.
Apart from Puducherry, Goa has different flea markets that operate on different dates. So I travel to all these places regularly. The Queen Victoria local market in Australia operates on weekends and they do in Canada too. Deep down there is this hardcore Boho girl in me and I love to pick up stuff which has a story behind it, an aesthetic element to it. It could be a finger ring, a chunky neck-piece or a simple belt, but there’s a value it adds to the entire outfit. High street, luxury is what we always do, but as a designer, as a stylist I like to go deep down inside and explore 64 FILMFARE MIDDLE EAST December 2020
Kamal Sir has a knowledge of everything and he is always open to try something new, but you should be in a position to give him convincing answers for questions. I have to keep in mind every little detailing, from the button to the stitch, to the fabric to the cut to the fit – it needs to be a beautiful mélange of everything. Bigg Boss was a challenge because it is shot with a huge digital screen behind the host, which throws out a lot of colour. If I use tiny checks they always glitter on the screen so I have to be very careful. He comes up with whole new ideas and beautiful twists to the costume. He has a huge collection of unique watches from different parts of the world. All the American and Swiss brands are common, but he has very rare brands and collectibles and there is a different story behind every watch he has bought. He also has a really amazing collection of shoes that we have used in the shoot. Be it suits, ties or jackets, he is in tune with what is current and adapts very well. He can pick out a perfect accessory in a split second be it equestrian boots, watches or a tie.
You styled Shruti Haasan for the recent Filmfare ME
cover that was shot during lockdown?
The cover of Filmfare Middle East was planned in the middle of the lockdown. Shruti and I thought of creating a statement kind of a mask, where only her eyes showed. It was really amazing of you to have it on the cover. It was quite challenging as it was that time when things were slowly opening up and the shoot was done from three different cities. I was stuck in Chennai and all the sourcing happened from Mumbai and Shruti was in Hyderabad. So, coordinating all these, finding a courier when no major courier services were operating was the issue. But it is amazing when you are restarting and resuming work. We completely shot through face time, she had her video camera on and got ready, or we would discuss things before she put the costumes on. It was challenging and amazing.
Tell us about your future projects?
I have two upcoming Telugu films with Shruti Haasan, a Tamil film called Labbam, I have signed up with my mentor Mr Mysskin for is a sequel to his super successful movie Pisasu called Pisasu 2. I have signed up with a woman director Anjana Ali Khan who did a zillion of commercials, I am also a part of these couple of Amazon web-series with Suhasini Mani Ratnam ma’am and Shruti. There are commercials and then I’m going to do my little show on the OTT platform. I work
with Kamal Sir, Shruti Haasan, Dulquer Salman, Dhanush, etc. I started off with the first super-hero film of the South, Mugamoodi where I constructed my first super hero suit in collaboration with a designer from Hong Kong. Indian cinema is at its finest now and I’m so glad I have got to work with great people.
What do you think of Middle Eastern fashion?
The dressing, the style of the cloth worn throughout Middle East is geographically connected to the climate, heat, dust and sun there. Fits like the ‘kaftans’ are perfectly tailored to Middle East, so those are fashionably modest. It not only gives you a sense of control over your body, but you are dressing the way you want to. Middle Eastern trends are becoming the hottest trends and Zuhair Murad and I have been there for SIIMA. Ellie Saab sets the hottest trends in the red carpet that are beautiful and fashionably modest. I wear these parallel linen trousers because it suits the climate and is a fashion statement these days. Arab women are changing the world through fashion there is no stereotype anywhere.
Did the lockdown help you creatively?
I watched a lot of documentaries and especially the one on Alexander McQueen. Then I had long conversations with Shruti and both of us are in love with the 90s trends and we were collectively talking about how to infuse Indian into western completely and lots of other creative projects. I’m a yoga freak, I watched plenty of films, started writing costume characteristics and character studies based on costume for iconic films like The Godfather, etc. We started page documenting the styles of Kamal Sir. It is called the KH style manifest where I talk about all his old films where how he has made fashion statement and how those characters speak in a language of their own. In all of this I rediscovered fashion and the lockdown taught me to recycle to recreate, how to emphasise more on sustainable clothing and to look after people economically affected by the pandemic.

I am part of a spiritual community called Soul Tribe – it is a concept that is deep and life changing. Were you always tuned towards being spiritual? Life is all about spirituality. About 7 years ago, I saw a ray of energy – like Shiva and it stayed with me the next morning and later. It activated my inner voice and soul compass and I started surrendering to it. I realised that I could handle things easily. Life isn’t about winning or losing but knowing that you can handle it.

After spending a couple of months with her, it was time for me to start travelling for business to Europe and be stationed in London. I was delighted to hear about the lockdown as now I had a reason to stay put with baby Eva which I happily did. For the first time in a decade I had a lot of time and not much to do, so most of it was spent doing mundane things which are a luxury for me. This included spending time with my son and his family, learning how to cook and bond with loved ones. I also learnt working on Zoom and realised all the money, time, energy spent on travel may not be so necessary after all. I worked in creating new corona SOPs for the salon industry through “raising the bar” campaign which were kept as a benchmark by the Sindh government before reopening the salon industry after the lockdown. During the lockdown I started connecting with my social media followers and learnt how to engage with them at a heartfelt level making the numbers grow organically. Realising that not being able to make trips to the salon was detrimental for my vanity. So, we started preparing to launch a home service app 72 FILMFARE MIDDLE EAST December 2020
called TEAM NABILA (soon to be launched officially). For me the lockdown was time to reboot, prioritise and do what really matters. What plans ahead for Zero Makeup? Zero Makeup is in its expansion phase. The response has been overwhelming. We have all realised beautiful looking skin never goes out of style. There are many more easy to use, intelligent products to be launched soon. What are your projects now and how often are you in Dubai? With the nature of business shifting to online, geography is becoming blurred. Let’s say I’m in Dubai when I need to be and thanks to technology that’s not very often! What according to you is beauty? For me beauty is confidence, beauty is individuality, beauty is something we exude freshly after a shower... before all the layers come on. You have an unusual sense of fashion – what is your go to makeup hack? My make-up hack is Zero Makeup (never lets me down), also grease back hair is simple, clean and effective.

مبادرتك؟ عن ماذا يدور اخترت دبي إلطالق لماذا ِ ِ الحدث؟
دبي هي املدينة الرئي�سية يف العامل حيث يلتقي ال�شرق بالغرب ،مما مينحنا جمهو ًرا �أو�سع بكثري� .إنه املكان املثايل للم�ساعدة يف تنمية هوية عالمتنا التجارية ب�شكل �أكرب� .سيعر�ض احلدث �أف�ضل املقاتلني يف الهند من خالل 7مباريات مثرية. كيف تختارين المتشاركين؟ كيف تكون عملية الفرز؟

والدك على نمط حياة تايجر هل أثر نمط حياة ِ ورحلتك نحو اللياقة؟ وكيف؟ ِ
تختلف فكرة �أبي عن اللياقة قليال ً عن فكرتنا .ومع ذلك ،عندما يتعلق الأمر بالتغذية ،ف�إن والدنا ذو خربة كبرية .مقدار املعرفة التي ميتلكها عندما يتعلق الأمر بنوع الطعام الذي يحتاجه ج�سمك هو �أمر مذهل� .إنه �أحد مو�ضوعات املناق�شة املف�ضلة لدينا ،وعندما يتعلق الأمر باملعرفة حول ذلك ،ف�أنا �أثق يف �أنه ال يوجد �أحد �أف�ضل منه للإر�شاد ال�صحيح. ماذا عن النظام الغذائي؟ هل تدققين على ما ً تأكلينه؟ ما الذي تأكلينه كثيرا؟
لقد كنت دائ ًما من ع�شاق الطعام ،وهذا على الأرجح هو ال�سبب يف �أنني كنت طفلة �سمينة ملدة 15عا ًما من حياتي .ومع ذلك ،منذ �أن بد�أت رحلتي للياقة البدنية منذ � 4.5سنوات ،بد�أت �أكون �أكرث وعيًا مبا �أدخله �إلى ج�سدي .مل يكن القيام بذلك عمال ً روتينيًا لأنني �أ�ستمتع بالأطعمة ال�صحية والتغذية ال�صحيحة� .إنه يغذيني يف التدريبات اخلا�صة بي بالطريقة ال�صحيحة ويجعلني �أ�شعر بتح�سن ب�شكل عام. دي�سمرب 2020فيلم فير الشرق األوسط 94
