Shilpa and her sister provide the glamour.

Big Brother money and NRI money

If you are wondering from where the money comes in? Let me remind you that Shilpa won the Big Brother in UK for millions of pounds in prize money as well as several endorsements. Then she also found her husband there. His name is Raj Kundra. That is real source of money.

Notice the huge rock on her finger.

See these marriage pics if you do not know the grand scale of marriage minus Akshay Kumar. Shilpa’s wedding album minus Akshay Kumar was for sure a grand success and in time for the IPL extragavanza

Now see the season 3 pics of Shilpa, Raj and Shamita . Is this not what IPL is all about ?

I wish these guys can spend same amount of time to do something for a noteworthy cause. Well who has the time apart from having some nice charity against their name.

Shane Warne – Is he a glam factor?

Well yes in his heydays of cricket he was undoubtedly the superstar with a lot of female fan following. He had his fair share of clandestine affairs with women.

Then if you remember his cigarette and no smoking money he got. He sure is very good for Rajasthan Royals.

Other end of the spectrum – Check the other end of the spectrum as far Rajasthan Royals is concerned.

Here is the guy who is totally Unglam – Presenting Yusuf Pathan …….

The most recent example of that has been Deepika Padukone who was a model and now has all the big producers of Bollywood queuing up to sign her. The other famous ones to quit the modeling line and joining the acting bandwagon were John Abraham, Bipasha Basu and Preity Zinta. Dino Morea also is from the same school. However his acting career is nowhere near that of John Abraham or Arjun Rampal.

Models are often thought as having a deadpan expression and they are generally not preferred as actors. John Abraham to an extent has proved that to be wrong. Preity Zinta and Bipasha Basu have also proved that wrong. John Abraham for one took acting classes from Kishore Namit Kapoor.

In an industry which has all the sons and daughters of the famous families of Bollywood like the Kapoors, Bachans, Chopras and the Deol the famous models can atleast get some initial movie offers. Then it is really up to them to show their acting skills.

The reason why the models go for the acting is two fold. One is the fact that actors get much wider recognition than the models and of course along with that comes money. Secondly, the career of a model is really short. Even if you are a super model you can at best be a model for a few years as your face and body will start showing signs of aging. New crop of youngsters are always a threat. In movies at least you can work for longer number of years and then can easily graduate to character based roles once you are past your prime.

The new trend – A  role reversal

All top actors are now regulars at fashion shows and in fact they have replaced the super models as the prominent faces of the famous fashion designers. Every year at the Lakme Fashion week the Bollywood brigade is there in mass numbers walking the ramp for their designers. Poor super models!! !

That said if you are a fashion designer and want to be among those top designers then here is some advice on creating good fashion designers resumes.

“This is insane, God is great again” AR Rahman words after getting his second Grammy Award. AR Rahman has earlier won the Oscars for two categories that is the Best Original Music Score and Best Original Song at the Academy Awards.

Amazingly he is very humble and has been known to keep a very low profile however he as has been thrown into the limelight and that too internationally with his music for Slumdog Millionaire. In fact only last week he was accorded the country’s biggest honor and that is the Padma Bhushan. Before that he has also won the BAFTA awards and the Golden Globe Awards.

Here is his role of honor and that includes various awards which are

3 Filmfare Awards

12 Filmfare Awards South

10 IIFA Awards

8 Star Screen Awards

6 Zee Cine Awards

A R Rahman started with the Hindi movie Roja about twenty years ago and since then it has been an unbelievable journey to the top. He says that music is his religion and his mother is his inspiration as he was raised by her despite all the poverty and hard days.

On a different note you will see that A R Rahman now has a more sleek look to the hair rather than the naturally flowing hair that he has all these years. So international recognition for sure has made A R Rahman look more dapper and stylish in the last one year. Wonder who his designer is ? Kudos to him to give him that style.

Old Look

We love ARR in whatever hairstyle. We definitely love your music. Keep on making it. Jai Ho! Rahman! He is also known as Mozart of Madras.
