hether it’s the highest grosser at the box office or a flop that died without noise, actor Shah Rukh Khan has been there and done it all. At this stage, ask him if he makes films for critics or fans, and the 51-year-old — who was in Delhi on Tuesday — said:

will be received? You can’t really tell, said SRK, citing the example of his 2007 hit, Chak De! India. “I liked the film because I loved doing my part. So I don’t plan it like that. I never thought I’d do a film like Fan (2016). I said yes to it because I wanted to find out if at 50, I can be at a place I’ve never been in before and go unabashedly — screw myself
ALL’S WELL BETWEEN RANVEER SINGH AND DEEPIKA PADUKONE say, ‘actions speak louder than words’. TSinghhey Seems like that’s the route actors Ranveer and Deepika Padukone are taking to refute
reports that suggested the two had broken up. The couple — that has maintained silence on the buzz — attended a party, hand-in-hand. On Thursday night, entrepreneur couple Nita and Mukesh Ambani threw a party at their Mumbai residence and Deepika-Ranveer made sure their entry together was noticed. >>Who else attended?

Putting a contemporary spin to hand-spun khadi A up, in the head, in the heart. And hope it turned out well.” Calling himself a filmmaker’s actor, Shah Rukh added that actors needn’t think too much before signing a film. “I don’t think actors should decide what films to do. The director should decide the film they want to make. It’s not like an actor always has to do hatke (unique)
films.” Another reason for that, SRK said, is that an actor may not be fortunate enough at that point to get the kind of film he or she wants to do. “You can hope that (a project you’d love) comes along. But if it doesn’t, you can’t sit at home. A workaholic like me will do the second best or even the third best that I’m given.” n

Modiji was happy for Yuvi: Shabnam Monika Rawal

ricketer Yuvraj Singh and his mother, Shabnam Singh, may have amused some by misspelling the Prime Minister’s name when they invited him for Yuvi’s wedding, on Thursday, but the seven-minute meeting still holds lovely memories, they say. The 34-year-old will marry British-Mauritian actor Hazel Keech, 29, in Chandigarh on November 30. “We’ve invited Modiji for the reception in Delhi on

SRK can’t sit at home waiting for scripts, says he’d rather take the second best offer “Without trying to sound arrogant or selfish, I feel that an actor has to do a film for himself or herself. I’ve never tried to please anyone. You can’t please all the people all the time. A film does that. Try to please a set of people, and you end up pleasing nobody, including yourself.” Does he trust his gut feeling when it comes to how a film

December 7. We carried a box of dry fruits and chocolates with the card. Modiji was happy for my son. He asked about his health, and shared how he used to send messages to Yuvi through Twitter when he wasn’t well,” said Shabnam. In 2011, Yuvraj was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour in his left lung. He successfully underwent chemotherapy in Boston and Indianapolis, and returned to India in April 2012. Shabnam also shared that Modi fondly recalled giving the Man of the Match title to
Yuvi in Gujarat after 2nd Quarter-Final match between India and Australia during the World Cup in 2011. However, the “best part was when Modiji shared that he’s also from Panchkula (near Chandigarh),” said Shabnam. “He was my neighbour, and lived there for five years.” Meanwhile, Yuvi’s father, Yograj Singh, says he won’t go to the wedding as he doesn’t believe in ‘deras’. He’ll only attend the reception at a hotel where he has been “respectfully invited.”
s we continue to take inspiration from India’s handloom heritage, our stalwart, this time, is a champion of the same thought. Fashion designer Ritu Beri powers Print Fashion Week with her love for khadi. From statement shirts and pants to easy-fit skirts in a pastel palette, Beri interprets the handspun fabric beautifully. “My endeavour is to redefine the image of khadi and present its versatility to the world. The effort is to reach out to the youth of India and make Khadi cool instead of restricting it to the image of yesteryears,” she says. Snigdha Ahuja
