D
eepika Padukone is the latest Bollywood star to go international and the actor says although she is proud to have bagged XXX: The Return of Xander Cage, she is nervous about venturing into a new territory.
The 30-year-old Bajirao Mastani actor will share screen with Hollywood Vin Diesel and Samuel L Jackson in the DJ Caruso-directed action thriller, which is the third installment of the XXX film franchise. Deepika says her ethnicity helped her bag the role and in the film she will be given an opportunity to flaunt her Indianness. “I am very excited. But I want to confess that I am very nervous. Most importantly I feel proud to be a part of a film where I get to flaunt my ethnicity,” said Deepika. “The reason they are roping me is because of my background. I really hope that I do well in the movie and people go and watch it,” said the actor, who was in the capital for the launch of the new collection from luxury Swiss watchmaking company Tissot. The actor says it has been her constant effort to keep improving every year and she is happy to see her efforts pay off two years in a row. “I work to compete with myself and keep setting the benchmark for myself, to keep bettering. After a successful 2014, I hoped I can do better and then it happened in 2015. It is my constant desire to keep improving,” she said. With back-to-back film shoots and other commitments, the actor says that she makes sure she reads and also tries her hands at baking. “I haven’t got a weekend for the past three years. But when I do get it, I like to just catch up on sleep. I also love baking and reading. Currently, I am reading the biography on Elizabeth Taylor.” Page 8

INTERVIEW
Anil Kapoor
He’s 24
Going on
60!
Anil Kapoor is now gearing up for his next big thing, which is the season 2 of his headline making show – the Hindi version of the popular international TV show 24.
A
nil Kapoor is now touching 60, but the actor has enough energy levels to put many youngsters to shame. But then he doesn’t not want to pull them down when you ask him about working with the newer lot.
But then the actor believes in being fit. “it is important to spend an hour and a half daily on yourself. If you are fit, you are happy and you can spread the cheer around. But if you are unwell, sick and in bad moods, you will not be able to do that. It is important to be physically, emotionally and spiritually fit in order to do good in your life and career and that is what I am “Sometimes you do learn a lot from the trying to do every day,” he says honestly. younger generation. They have so much to offer you and mediums like cinema Honesty has been a very integral part of and television. They are full of new ideas, Anil Kapoor’s career. and new way to do the same thing that we have done differently before. Unless you “I belong to a middle class family and I learn quickly from them, you will be left remember when no producers were ready to cast me in their films. But thanks to behind,” elucidates the actor. my stars and my sincere efforts that have

borne fruits for me,” shares Anil. In those days, Anil Kapoor used to host parties and would suddenly go missing in the middle of the party. “I was called a very boring person. I did not have controversies around me. I would call people for a party, but then I had a habit of going to sleep soon and I would. I am seeing the fruits of that today in my fitness. It does not pay overnight, the fruits of my patience is paying off today and it will for everyone who will do the right things irrespective of what people talk about them. I am happy to have been a boring person then. I am a happy person today,” he says. Be it the Nayak, Beta or going interna-

tional with Slumdog Millionaire, he has time and again proven his critics wrong and wormed into the hearts of his audience. When he had turned producer for Gandhi My Father, a critically acclaimed film, he had humbly said, “I have put in all my experiences of being in this industry and tried to put an emotional as well as an intriguing tale. Hope you guys have liked it?” Anil has also been very supportive to his daughter Sonam Kapoor’s acting aspirations. “More than being nervous as a father I am very happy to watch her on the silver screen. It gives me immense pleasure to watch my daughter having performed so very exuberantly. Today it makes me feel Sonam has grown up. And I am all ready to give her away to the world, where she can fulfil her duties and make me proud, as well as all the other people who are involved in making her excel in Bollywood.”
short, and changed the whole look. But in those times the media didn’t pay attention. During 1942: A Love Story, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and I decided, let’s call the media, I’m changing my whole look, but there was nobody apart from me and him, and now some actor just starts wearing an earring and media creates a hype.” About the younger generation of actors following in his footsteps, he says, “I like it when people think someone has followed me, like while films like Koi Mil Gaya or My Name is Khan released, people told me they were reminded of my role in Eeshwar, I felt good.” About not getting bogged down by defeats, he opines, “Definitely, I am not the one who will sit down and feel defeated if any of my films may have not done well at the box office. I have innumerable ideas, which will go up one by one through Anil Kapoor Productions. My experiences have encouraged me to face every kind of challenges. I believe in working in good as well as odd circumstances.” Unaffected by hits and flops he adds, “Hits and flops is a part and parcel of our profession. I do feel bad while some of my films did not do well at the box office. As a producer my films did not do well but then I always like to find out what may have gone wrong. I always agree to the judgment of my audiences as I know they are the ones who have made me the actor that I am today.”
Like a good father he always opined that his kids need to make it up the hard way. Asked about his son, Harshvardhan Kapoor who makes his debut with Mirziya and not launched in a comfortable home production, he says, “I wanted him to pursue his choice whatever it may be. Be it acting, writing or direction. I am not the one who was born with a silver spoon in my mouth and so I wanted him also to come up the hard way, through the never ending learning process. I am not going to invest for him and give him everything on How was the response to Season 1 of 24? “I am happy with the response. People the platter.” wave at me, while I visit cinema halls. About having innovated on his look on- They come up to me wishing to watch screen time and again, he shares, “All the more of me. With all their praises, I feel films we have made, there was a conscious I need to work harder to satisfy my audecision to be ahead of time. Hence, peo- diences. This serial could be possible beple can even watch those films today and cause of my director, my colleagues and get entertained. I’ve changed my look for the entire team.

Page 14

that he would enter TV with 24. Why 24? “Role, story and the script. These are the three things that an actor needs. Add to that there are fabulous makers behind it, I have great directors on board, the coactors with me on the show are the best. There are times in any film or TV show, something is missing. But then I find nothing amiss here. Everything seems to be so perfectly in place. I think it is the best role I have ever done in my entire career including my films. It is wonderful how the story moves within the space of 24 hours. That kind of thrill and drama is unimaginable,” says Kapoor. Strange coming from a man who has essayed roles in almost every genre in the film industry and hence has a longevity few actors can boast of. “I have done a Welcome or a Welcome Back and have tried to balance that with a 24 and a Dil Dhadakne Do. I have done light hearted films and then I have gone in for a film like Virasat and one like Nayak as well. That is because I never wanted to be bogged down in an image. It is very easy to think that if I am doing well in a particular genre, I should shut up and do more films like that and make a lot of money. In the bargain, in fact, I have lost out a lot not just financially, but on my stardom as well when I have attempted offbeat roles. I know it has not been the best to happen to my career, but I have been satisfied with my work and that for me is sacrosanct,” avers the actor. And that is one reason why Kapoor does not care much about then wags that say that the television rating points of Season 1 of 24 did not make the cut. “I used to get affected earlier when people said these things. I would sometimes react to those comments and remarks. But now, I have let it go. I am working for the audience. If the audience wants to say anything about me or my work, let them do so,” he signs off.

his year India was abuzz with fashion as Tarun Tahiliani’ commenced the opening act for Lakmé Fashion Week, his stage was a harmonious web. His colours this winter/festive 2016 ranged from cobalt blues, to burnt orange, safari greens and maroons and black. Ever-packed with separates like gilets, draped skirts and pleated saris. The Indian fashion designer was inspired by the works of the late contemporary artist Mrinalini Mukherjee. Tahiliani stated “I am not presenting dhoti pants on the runway for the first time, everyone knows what dhoti pants are, but what I am presenting is an attitude” Kangana Ranaut took to the ramp for the designer as the Showstopper. The first day of Lakmé Fashion Week began with a graduating class of designers. Sidhu Ji by Anupreet Sidhu, Paridhi Jaipuria and Dming by Diming Ribu came across as promising talent in the womenswear category. Nimish Shah of Shift showed his winter/cruise 2016 collection. Neutral colours offset saturated hues of pink, green and mustard. “Loungy yet glamorous, but very, very understated and evolved,” is how Shah described his collection. Manish Malhotra’s show was shot in virtual reality to be broadcasted globally via Etihad Airways - the first Indian designer to have this honour. Against a romantic backdrop of flowers and a fountain, the designer presented a collection that catered to the needs of a bride’s trousseau. He has again showed off his fabulous signature embroidery work with textured colours meshing. He has subtly used shimmer and sparkle in his outfits too. This was totally a celebration for all the brides-tobe! Shraddha Kapoor and Sushant Singh Rajput mesmerised us with their dreamy grace for Manish Malhotra’s show as the designer chose them as his showstoppers. Sushant Singh Rajput was equally excited to show off to his four sisters that he not only was dressed in their favourite designer label but also took the stage for him. Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Dia Mirza, Neha Dhupia, Sophie Choudhry who are all close to designer Manish Malhotra Shraddha also cheered from the audience Former Miss Universe, Sushmita Sen was present at the event, she looked her ethereal best! The shimmery sari that she draped with her hair let down in classic Sushmita style stunned the crowd. Bhumi Pednekar was also present at the event and she too looked rather classy as she donned an asymmetric long kurta and paired it with denims. I wasn’t really a big fan of the pumps she chose to match with her outfit because it seemed a tad bit worn out for this dreamy outfit. A lot of other celebs too made it for the show. Page 16

The Natural reversal of all Diseases Dr Maimoona Mahomed studied Natural Medicine through a Canadian Institute of Natural Medicine. Her professor, whom she studied under, worked for the US government, as a medical scientist researching and finding solutions for various dreaded diseases like Hiv, cancers, auto immune, diabetes, heart conditions etc. Dr Maimoona is forever grateful to her mentors who have inspired her to reach out for her goals by assisting individuals regaining their optimum health the natural way. She now specialises in natural reversals of all ailments and has a practice in the heart of Pretoria’s business hub Centurion, Pretoria. SAIndia Magazine managed to get a chance to Interview her from her busy schedule and below is her Journey to Natures Healing. I always had a passion to help people. I felt that was my purpose in life and this is how my calling to natural medicine began. 16 years ago I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, multiple spine disorders including Spondylitis Scoliosis. Life seemed to come to an end for me because I was bed-ridden and summoned to a wheelchair. I was in constant agonising pain. My condition was worsening and it felt larger than life. Conventional medicine gave me no solution. At the time I was 27 years young with four beautiful children and a loving husband. I knew that I had to find a solution for my condition because I had alot left to achieve in life and besides my husband and kids needed me. My faith always reminded me that everything happens for a reason. Behind all adversity is a reward from Almighty. Almighty will never ever present a problem without a solution. I started searching for answers and through prayer and determination I was led to a Russian naturopath that had this amazing machine which he used as a diagnosis tool. This diagnosis tool assisted him in finding the root cause of my condition. He was able to inform me on my first visit about the viruses, bacteria, fungus and pathogens that had caused my problem. I was also told that my colon and liver was totally blocked with toxins and poisons. This was a miracle discovery for me from Almighty as for the first time I was told the root cause for my illness. These tests discovered that part of my diseases were passed down from ancestral
Page 44
www.saindiamagazine.com
generations, from my mother’s womb in the form of parasites which resulted in some of my complaints. I was than given my treatment protocol which entailed Quantam healing , change in lifestyle and most of all I was given Glyconutrients to support my immune system, support my cell function, repairing of my gut by way of detoxes and continuous liver detoxes. After six weeks into the treatment I did not require any morphine or any pain killers. Thus finding and alternative root was my only solution. Finding the cause and getting rid of the symptoms was and is the most rewarding portion of my career. I’m now cured for the past 16 years with renewed health. I always knew that all diseases started in the colon and cleansing your colon and all organs you can get rid of diseases for longer. This was a turning point in my life, and my getting totally healed inspired me in pursuing the natural medicine pathway for the past 12 years. My method of testing is accurate and my treatment protocols are specific to each individual and tested before administering, thus obtaining the best results for my patients. I have helped the most challenged patients from all over the world. I travel extensively to neighbouring countries as I have individuals that are critically ill without any solution. Recently I visited Malawi for a wedding reception and met with some of my patients that I have treated 8 and 9 years ago with breast cancer, strokes, spinal problems, infertility, arthritis etc. To this day they are still well and have introduced many more patients because they believe in our treatment. All credit goes to Almighty creator who allows healing through my hands. My vision is to create confidence in my patients. To “believe” that by applying my treatments as a lifestyle they would be able to live a healthy and balanced life once again. I would love to live my purpose, by touching as many lives as I can by treating as many illnesses as possible and heal my patients fully to restore them back to health and wellness. I pray that the Almighty gives me the strength, health and keeps me empowered to open more Natures Healing Centres. Lots of light and love, Dr Maimoona Mahomed

Guidelines to think about when creating a Will... Adv. Veerash Srikison
N
one of us would ever spend too much time planning life after death for our loved ones, however when the traumatic event of your death faces your family, it is important to understand how you can protect those who will be in need of your financial assistance once you have gone. This is important to consider, especially if you have children and a partner or spouse who has taken care of you and your children throughout your time together. The Wills Act 7 of 1953 provides the regulations of “inheritance” and below are some basic guidelines to know when drawing up a will and assist your family to move on gracefully through their period of mourning. What makes a will valid: • You, known as the testator (a person who has the will drawn up for themself) must be 16 years or older and mentally capable of understanding the nature and effect of their actions; • The will must be in writing; • You must initial/sign every page of the will and the end of the will; • Two competent witnesses (older than 14 years of age) must be present when you sign your will and also sign the will in your presence and each other’s presence;
appoint a person.
Tips:
• To appoint or nominate people who will act as guardians of your minor child(ren) and create a trust to provide for your child(ren)’s future maintenance and education.
• If you choose to create a will on your own using a template will, purchased from a stationary store, make sure that you include terms and clauses that are particular to your circumstances which can be enforced.
• To protect your spouse from waiting for benefits and being left financially destitute. Depending on the marital regime you have chosen, your spouse will know what they are entitled to and when they will receive their benefits.
• If you put conditions of inheritance in your will be sure to include sanctions should these conditions not be fulfilled.
• When there are significant changes in your life, it is important to review your will for any What happens to my debt on an asset that amendments you would need to make and would be inherited? use the words “this is my last will and testament” once you have updated your will. The common law assumption is that an asset on which there is still a debt (an encumbered • You should also keep in mind the change asset) is bequeathed without the debt, unless in laws that will affect your assets, liabilities the will explicitly says otherwise.

The actress recently visited the Twitter headquarters in New York becoming the first Bollywood celeb to do so. Reports suggest that Priyanka had been invited to visit the Twitter headquarters way back in 2010 as she was the highest followed Indian celebrity. However, she missed it back then. But now, the actress sat down for a Live chat session and was asked as to ho manages her social media account. Priyanka said, “People think that my team manages my Twitter account.

TV actress Shilpa Shinde, who shot to fame with Telly soap ‘Bhabhiji Ghar Pe Hain’, has a special naughty dance number in Sanjay Chhel’s upcoming cross-cultural family comedy PATEL KI PUNJABI SHAADI with feel good moments starring Rishi Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Vir Das, Payal Ghosh, etc. It’s a huge leap after her controversial TV career and instant popularity as hot ‘Bhabhiji’.
Ask Shilpa if the controversy worked in her favour and she laughs off, “Yes it’s good for me. I was really upset when I had to quit Bhabhiji. People used to tag me as ‘News Queen’…But I am an actress and my desire is always to do something where I can creatively contribute. So when I got this song, I was more than happy. Moreover, this song didn’t demand me to be skinny or acquire a particular body. All I had to do is give my best shot. It wasn’t a demeaning song which only demands skin show. Since PKPS is a family comedy drama and it was so comfortable working with such a great team, I was game for it.”
Says Shilpa a.k.a ‘Bhabhiji’, “After enough controversy that affected my repute, it was surprising to get a call from the makers of PATEL KI PUNJABI SHAADI. When I was offered the song I was like ‘I will have to shed some kilos’ as I haven’t done dance numbers before, but the PKPS team didn’t have enough time and wanted to shoot immediately. They briefed me about the concept and I was okay with it. I thought if I let go off this opportunity, it might

While writer and director Sanjay Chhel says why did he opt for Shilpa, “The song required a hot woman with innocent face and Shilpa is apt for it. She is a male fantasy yet she is popular with her family image! It’s a great combo of sex symbol & Sanskari image.” PATEL KI PUNJABI SHAADI is produced by Bharat Patel and ready to release this year. “It’s better to cast a known image like Shilpa rather than casting a faceless item girl… I am too excited with my first venture where I am lucky to have ‘Rishi Kapoor-Paresh Rawal’ combination!” Bharat Patel adds. Shilpa Shinde rehearsed with veteran star Rishi Kapoor and Vir Das for a week and surprised everyone with her confidence!! But it is being said that the surprise in store or us would be the raunchy lyrics of this special song specially written by Sanjay Chhel! Well we are eagerly awaiting for the song to release.

Saif Ali Khan the new Face of NAT GEO SUPERCARS Fasten your seat-belts as National Geographic Channel brings a brand new season of Nat Geo Supercars –Supercar Megabuild. The bigger, better new season comes with meaner machines and popular actor Saif Ali Khan as the face of the show. The series will feature some of the most iconic and uber luxurious cars going through transformation and overhauling into desirable and fantastic machines. The show promises to be a treat for car enthusiasts and will take a look under the hood of some of the most unique automobiles ever made. Nat Geo Supercar Megabuild is scheduled to premiere on 26 September, and is scheduled
every Monday and Tuesday at 10 PM. Commenting on the series, Swati Mohan, Business Head, India, FOX Networks Group said. “We are excited to bring back Nat Geo Supercars, one of our top-rated franchises on the channel, and one that reaches a whole new level this year. And hence when it came to choosing a face for this year’s Mega season, we didn’t really need to look beyond Saif Ali Khan. His love for luxury cars or any high-end machinery, together with his passion for the science & technology that goes behind it, makes him a perfect choice and we are delighted to have him on board. This new season reinforces Nat Geo’s commitment to give viewers unprecedented access to not just unique content, but also world class talent and storytelling.” Actor Saif Ali Khan said, “Nat Geo is an iconic brand that stands for adventure and great storytelling among other things. It feels great to be associated with this exceptional team of Nat Geo. As for the show, I am personally inclined towards four-wheeled, good looking, mean ma-
chines which the show features. The most exciting part of the show is when these supremely creative designers and technicians get together to transform some of the highest performance, uber luxurious automobiles to beyond imagination Supercars. I am sure the show will drive excitement in the audience too. ” The new season of Supercars will be hosted by world renowned automotive designer, Afzal Kahn. In each episode, Kahn and his team will embark on an ambitious mission to transform a high performance car into an extraordinary supercar, fit to take on the next challenge. Watch the transformation of a Rolls Royce into a drifter; high performance supercar Nissan GT-R turn into a nasty beast to beat Bugatti Veyron in a straight quarter-mile race; or even a Range Rover Evoque that turns into a rally racer. Every episode of Supercars brilliantly showcases engineering and manufacturing marvels that go in to making a supercar. This offers a great opportunity to advertisers to associate with a jaw dropping line-up of automobiles.

ollowing the recent onslaught of new model introductions by luxury motor manufacturer Mercedes-Benz, and its sports car and high-performance brand Mercedes-AMG, the brand will be showcasing and demonstrating a number of its fascinating and exciting products to customers and car fanatics who will be in attendance at the Festival of Motoring at the Kyalami Race Track from 31 August through to 04 September. “The festival provides a wonderful opportunity to not only exhibit our new and exciting products, but to also demonstrate the technological advancements of our products, including our allnew executive sedan, the E-Class, also known as the Masterpiece of Intelligence,” says Selvin Govender, Marketing Director, Mercedes-Benz Cars. “We are also using this occasion to extend our AMG Performance Tour to our racing fans with a number of our performance models including our Mercedes-AMG GT3, a specialised customer racing car. The AMG GT3 is fully developed in-house by Mercedes-AMG engineers to comply with the FIA’s GT3 race rules to compete in the world’s most hotly contested customer race series. Cutting-edge racing technology and spectacular design predestine the AMG GT3 that has a number of victories under its belt since introduction in 2015. The AMG GT3 is based on the Mercedes-AMG GT, which will also be seen in action on the racetrack at Kyalami,” adds Govender. Mercedes-AMG models - including the recently launched C 63 Coupé and its sibling, the C 63 sedan, with their 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine delivering outstanding performance figures and an emotional engine sound - will also be a highlight

in the performance area. Engine outputs range from 350 kW for the C 63 to 375 kW for the C 63 S. This new engine is closely related to the power unit that gives the Mercedes-AMG GT its breath-taking performance. Another Mercedes-AMG to join the test drive and display area is the iconic SL 63, a top performer in a wide variety of disciplines: an elegant roadster for relaxed, comfortable cruising or a dynamic coupé for sporty trips on winding roads. The SL is an all-season roadster that is fully suited for everyday use and whatever its owner desires - it fulfils the expectations with technical perfection. “For more than 60 years the Mercedes-Benz SL has enthralled sports car fans around the world, and will continue to enthral patrons at this year’s festival,” says Govender. Compact cars from Mercedes-AMG have proven to be extremely successful, and the popular A 45, CLA 45 and GLA 45, the entrylevel models from Mercedes-AMG, are the world’s most powerful compact sports models. With a peak output of 280 kW and maximum torque of 475 Nm, these models will also be available for test drives, together with their sporty siblings, the A 250 and CLA 250 model variants. Mercedes-Benz is heading into the open-air season by launching the first cabriolet based on the C-Class, thereby rounding off its range of cabriolets with a classic fabric soft top. The new cabriolet’s design interprets modern luxury with a youthful touch. Featuring plenty of highquality details, its distinctive character is most apparent when the top is down. “The AMG product portfolio will continue to

grow rapidly this year, making the world of Driving Performance more diverse than ever, and with the all new C-Class C 43 Cabriolet and the facelifted SLC 43, we are offering a younger target group yet another alternative to discover the fascinating world of AMG. These new models will also be on display and available for test drives for patrons to experience,” adds Govender. 2016 is “The Year of Open Top Driving” for Mercedes-Benz and to celebrate the feast of new roadsters and cabriolets, the brand is presenting a superlative dream car in the guise of the Mercedes-AMG S 63 Cabriolet. “For the first time in its history, Mercedes-Benz’s sports-car and performance brand is offering a four-seater cabriolet in the S-Class segment, which augments the product portfolio with an attractive alternative for car enthusiasts with a passion for performance and luxury,” explains Govender. “Showing off high-performance technology coupled with expressive exterior and interior design, it is immediately apparent that the new S 63 Cabriolet is built by car enthusiasts for car enthusiasts – the ultimate dream car – and we are ecstatic to host our local premiere of this model at the festival,” he adds. The bi-turbo eight-cylinder engine of the Mercedes-AMG S 63 Cabriolet is produced in the hand-finishing section of AMG’s production plant in Affalterbach, based on the “One Man - One Engine” philosophy. This means that each engine is assembled by a highly qualified technician who applies the strictest quality standards. This technician is responsible for everything from installing the crankshaft in the engine block and assembling the camshafts, to
wiring the engine and filling it with engine oil as clearly evidenced by the signature on the AMG engine badge. 2015 was the “Year of the SUV” for MercedesBenz and, to add another highlight to the extensive SUV range, the brand now introduces the all-new GLC Coupé. “The sportily youthful GLC Coupé draws glances with its dynamically expressive design. It blends the striking main body section and the Mercedes-Benz design idiom of current SUV models with the characteristic elongated roof line of a sports coupé. The GLC Coupé is the sports car amongst SUVs, with a perfect combination from two different worlds,” says Govender. Hot and cool – these two poles form the sensuously pure design idiom of the Mercedes-Benz design philosophy, perfectly embodied by the GLC Coupé. On the one hand, modern aesthetics were the source of inspiration for the sensuous lines, surfaces and proportions of the new sportily youthful coupé generation with the characteristic off-road touch. On the other, the designers have created minimalist, purist forms which emphasise the new off-road coupé›s intelligent technology and engineering. All in all, the vehicle body appears powerful but defined by engineering, and conveys dynamic sportiness. “We will also offer off-road test drives in the SUV area with our highly successful GLC, our luxurious GLE and GLE Coupé, the new GLS our “S-Class” of SUVs - and last but not least, our legendary G-Class. Customers and patrons who participate in the off-road test drives will have the opportunity to experience these luxury off-road vehicles as they make the best of every terrain,” confirms Govender.
“On the handling track we will demonstrate technological advancements in the new E-Class that enable comfortable, safe driving on a new level plus a new dimension in driver assistance,” he adds. The E-Class comes complete with infotainment and control systems offering an all-new experience. Focus will also be on an entirely newly developed diesel engine that sets efficiency benchmarks in this segment, in conjunction with lightweight construction and optimum aerodynamic figures. An optional new multi-chamber air suspension system additionally ensures outstanding ride comfort together with first-class driving dynamics. “All in all, the sum total of its innovations makes the E-Class the most intelligent sedan in the executive class,” expands Govender. As customer requirements increase, MercedesBenz is now offering its most advanced hybrid technology in the C-Class. The dynamism and efficiency of the C 350 e sedan makes it a convincing proposition in its segment. “A first for the Mercedes-Benz East London plant is the manufacture of this C 350 e with the latest PLUG-IN-HYBRID technology for both local and export markets. The addition of the manufacture of the C 350 e sedan at our awardwinning plant to exacting world-class standards, is a proud moment for us. This model will proudly take its place in the display area on the main stand,” remarks Govender. With a range of 31 kilometres in purely electric mode, local emission-free driving is now a real-
ity. The C 350 e’s four-cylinder petrol engine, in conjunction with a powerful electric motor, gives it a total system output of 205 kW and torque of 600 Nm. It delivers the performance of a sports car and yet offers certified consumption figures of just 2.1 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres. This corresponds to CO2 emissions of 65 grams per kilometre. “The smart brand appeals equally to the heart and mind. An expressive design idiom and colouring embody pure “joie de vivre”. The compact proportions and clever details testify unique functionality. The new smart fortwo and the new smart forfour are clearly recognisable as members of the same family. Many design features such as the headlamps, the cooling air grille in the front and the iconic tridion safety cell are identical. In addition, both vehicles are fitted with rear engines, making them particularly agile in city traffic,” continues Govender. Patrons will have the opportunity of test driving and getting a first-hand glimpse into a smart world of advanced assistance systems that were previously the reserve of higher classes of vehicle. These include crosswind assist (standard), forward collision warning (option) and Lane Keeping Assist (option). smart offers customers safety features that go far beyond what is the norm for this segment and further enhance safety and comfort. “Opening up new customer groups and segments with these phenomenal products will raise the company’s profile and with our digital offering, we will boost our customer interaction. The new performance and sports models from Mercedes-AMG represents a convincing proposition for our customers as we remain true to our brand claim of “Driving Performance”, concludes Govender.

More than 840 Swarovski crystals were used in the Swarovski crystal colour changing panels on Frieda Pinto’s custom Tory Burch gown. Futuristic and feminine, the dress was embellished with 29 electronic ink colour-changing Swarovski crystal panels arranged in a graphic, minimal T shape. As the first time the electronic ink colour-changing crystals are being used by a designer, this was Swarovski’s latest crystal technology’s debut. Batteries and multi-pixel technology were hidden in seams and embedded in border embellishments for a seamless look. Alongside designing for Freida Pinto, Tory Burch also created custom Swarovski looks for actress Emma Roberts and comedienne Mandy Kaling. More than 115 Swarovski crystals were used in the panels of Mindy Kaling’s custom colour changing clutch, including four decorative electronic ink colourchanging Swarovski crystal panels. Over 130 Swarovski crystal elements and millions of tiny Swarovski crystals were used to create the Swarovski crystal fabric and crystal rock motifs in Emma Robert’s tiered amethyst ombré chiffon plissé gown. www.saindiamagazine.com

The annual Met Gala, a fundraising event benefitting the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City, is a tour de force of costume, celebrity and concept. Run by the inimitable Anna Wintour since 1995, this year’s theme Manus X Machina explored man and technology, all coloured by a decidedly fashion bend. Swarovski collaborated with two designers for the evening’s top tech looks, Tory Burch and Mary Kantrantzou whose creations embraced the latest, most innovative crystal technology.

Nadja Swarovski, member of the Swarovski Crystal Executive Board commented, “Tory has created truly stunning red-carpet silhouettes and we were so impressed by the hidden integration of the electronics into the seams of the garments. These pieces are a perfect celebration of the spirit of this year’s exhibition and Gala.” Vogue Editor-at-Large Elisabeth Von Thurn und Taxis’ custom mini-gown by Mary Kantrantzou was created out of a technical duchess satin, laser cut and fully hand embellished with Swarovski crystals. The gown featured arrows and other lasercut designs, raised in flower shapes and topped with Swarovski crystal hearts and stars, giving the gown its futuristic 3D effect. Speaking to the technical virtuosity behind the gown’s creation, designer Mary Kantrantzou commented, “The embroidery techniques used in this dress took over 5 days to finish. It’s special because [of] the use of technology in the laser cutting techniques.” Commenting on the collaboration with Von Thurn und Taxis, the designer shared: “Elisabeth was the perfect woman to be wearing it to the MET. She is the epitome of a strong creative woman with timeless style and we had so much fun creating the dress together.” Continuing to push the boundaries of technological innovation both on and off the red carpet, the Met Gala collaborations mark Swarovski’s ongoing commitment to creativity in fashion. With a rich history in supporting some of the greatest couturiers of the century, Swarovski remains a key ingredient in couture looks, both high and low tech.

September 2016 Astrology Forecast by
Aries ( 21 March-19 April ):
Libra ( 23 September-22 October ):
This period highlights issues such as personal projects, leadership, initiative, self-promotion and matters of self-interest. You are likely to do some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. The way you present yourself to others will assume great importance. Your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say wins you some brownie points.
Significant personal growth and healing are possible. Now is a time to bury the hatchet and seek reconciliation with significant people in your life. Events may occur that will help you to put your values in perspective and to get your financial house in order. Attend to financial matters that have built up over some time so that you can begin a new cycle of growth.
Favorable Dates : Sep 2, 8, 11, 17, 20, 26 Favorable Colors : Red & Blue.
Favorable Dates : Sep 2, 5, 11, 14, 21, 23 Favorable Colors : Green & Yellow.
Taurus ( 20 April- 20 May ):
Scorpio ( 23 October- 21 November ):
You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are coming across well at work and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network are likely to present themselves. You are socially ambitious right now and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner.
It is important to avoid taking unnecessary risks and to remain aware of your own limitations. Events may stimulate your awareness of philosophical, religious, moral, and ethical issues. You may engage in activities that selflessly assist others or promote the common good. You will want to reserve time alone for reflection, prayer and meditation. This is a good time to get rid of things you own that are no longer useful.
Favorable Dates : Sep 2, 9, 11, 18, 19, 27 Favorable Colors : Red & Purple.
Favorable Dates : Sep 1, 3, 10, 12, 19, 21 Favorable Colors : Red & Yellow.
Gemini ( 21 May-20 June ):
Sagittarius ( 22 November -21 December ):
Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now. You come across well to others and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual. This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you're attracting quite a bit of interest and your energy for making contact with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal tone now.
You are raring to go professionally and perfectly willing to make a complete overhaul if it means greater success down the road. New ideas are abundant, but not always supported by people around you. It's easy for you to get quite fired up about issues close to your heart this month. The last week of the month can bring a flurry of activity surrounding a child, creative project, or romance.
Favorable Dates : Sep 1, 8, 10, 17, 19, 26 Favorable Colors : Red & White.
Favorable Dates : Sep 3, 8, 12, 17, 21, 26 Favorable Colors : Blue & Yellow.
Cancer ( 21 June- 22 July ):
Capricorn ( 22 December-19 January ):
Satisfaction and fulfilment during this cycle comes from doing your professional best, shining as a responsible and capable person and contributing to the world in practical ways. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle and your ideas are original and progressive now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.
You may need to reconsider your pursuit of a cherished dream or ideal. Events may occur that dissolve the boundaries of your ego, enhance your appreciation of mortality, and make you more cognizant of the universality of human experience. Your ability to sell yourself and your ideas can lead to advancement in your career. Glamour, glitz and illusion may become appealing. Spiritual experiences could involve you in an increased awareness of hidden dimensions of reality.
Favorable Dates : Sep 1, 4, 10, 13, 19, 22 Favorable Colors : Red & White.
Favorable Dates : Sep 3, 7, 12, 16, 21, 25 Favorable Colors : Red & Green.
Leo ( 23 July-22 August ):
Aquarius ( 20 January-18 February ):
Your vision is practical right now and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated now and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.
You tend to be more youthful, agile, adaptable, quick-witted and verbally expressive. Pursuing further education can have a beneficial effect on your career. Activities that require physical movement and dexterity are especially appealing. It's an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective to make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently.
Favorable Dates : Sep 3, 5, 12, 14, 21, 23 Favorable Colors : Green & White.
Favorable Dates : Sep 2, 7, 11, 16, 20, 25 Favorable Colors : Red & White.
Virgo ( 23 August-22 September ):
Pisces ( 19 February-20 March ):
Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time. Connections can be made now and networking pays off or at least satisfies. The stars illuminate your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true this month. You would be feeling happy, light-hearted, cosmopolitan and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period.
A strong inner need to connect to something more rich and meaningful will motivate you to seek out intensity. Sexual urge would increase. It's a good period for personal charm and attractiveness in general. Your dominant interests and activities will center on issues such as marriage, partnerships, negotiations, lawsuits, alliances, consultations and dealings with the public.
Favorable Dates : Sep 2, 4, 11, 13, 20, 22 Favorable Colors : Red &Yellow.
Favorable Dates : Sep 2, 8, 11, 17, 20, 26 Favorable Colors : Blue & Yellow.
