King Khan wears his '45 years' on his face

AT 45, Shah Rukh Khan is looking like he is, well, 45. Which is not a bad thing unless you consider he helms glamour- driven Bollywood where the hero must always look fighting fit and young, at a time when rival contemporaries of the same age group, Aamir and Salman Khan, are miraculously looking not a day older than 30.

 

Shah Rukh has of late been frenetically occupying every public space available to promote his ambitious production Ra. One. One overhype that SRK has unleashed, however, they are also talking of the fact that SRK has been looking rather aged and haggard in his promotional activities.

 

Probably, the aged look could have to do with the niggling back problem that has plagued the superstar over the past few years.SRK has undergone multiple major surgeries and shot Ra. One through his painful stint.

 

"Huge blue screen... 100 cars... cranes wires... gawd i am making a film beyond my means. Now working with my doc on my back. Time to scream out ouch... ooh... aah... no pun intended ( sic),"Shah Rukh tweeted some time ago, about braving his back woes to wrap up Ra. One . It could be a reason why he definitely looks old in certain scenes in the film’s promos.

 

The superstar incidentally has been under the effect of anaesthesia more than once over the past decade, having undergone minor surgeries for knee, ankle and stomach ailments. Heavy medication and its side effects over the past years could be a reason why SRK may have been forced to avoid the popular showbiz option of Botox to keep looking young as many of his rivals are rumoured to do.

 

That, combined with a hectic lifestyle — the superstar reportedly sleeps for only about three to four hours daily despite all problems — perhaps has taken its toll.For now, Shah Rukh needs to think and stay young, even if he doesn’t look as much.

Where was Deepika?

After her bitter break- up with Ranbir Kapoor, the actress was briefly linked to Kingfisher scion Siddharth Mallya. Both were hardly seen without holding hands at any public event. However, Sid turned up alone for the Dior anniversary bash. The picture shows him along with actress Kangna Ranaut.

 

The latest is that Deepika recently paid a quiet visit to the Taj Mahal. Eyewitnesses claim that Deepika was surrounded by her security guards and there was a certain male companion along with her all the time, who deliberately kept himself away from the media. Has she finally lost interest in the Mallya kid?

Why will Sonam wear pink to work?

 

In an awareness initiative, the brand ambassador of Ogaan Cancer Foundation is urging everyone to be a part of it

Sonam Kapoor is urging everyone to wear pink at work. The brand ambassador of Ogaan Cancer Foundation, Sonam is spreading breast cancer awareness. ““It is my privilege to be associated with the Ogaan Cancer Foundation and play a part in spreading breast cancer awareness. Everyone seems to know someone with breast cancer - I lost an aunt to it. Detecting cancer early is the only way to fight and that requires awareness about tests and a healthy lifestyle. I’m very happy to support the OCF team on this very special initiative, as they continue to show earnestness and a sense of dedicated purpose. I hope I can make a difference in my own way”.

A simple registration process allows participating companies to encourage their employees to simply wear pink as a mark of support for the fight against breast cancer. The underlying concept behind the program is simple - by convincing enough people to take one small step, together we can reach an incredible goal in awareness building since early detection is the best prevention possible.

More than 40 corporate houses such as Apeejay Surrendra Group, Barclays Bank, BBC Worldwide, Bharti Enterprises, The Walt Disney Company, HSBC, Infosys, Jubilant Bhartia Group, Network 18, Park Hotels, Swiss International Airlines, Tech Mahindra among others will participate to show solidarity and create awareness for breast cancer among their employees.

Archana Pillai, Director Ogaan Cancer Foundation, says “With the Wear Pink to Work Day program, we hope to reach a new target audience for our message, and raise awareness among men as well. After all, we know women are often self-sacrificing, putting their own needs last. And this is true when it comes to health decisions too. It’s time for us to acknowledge that a woman’s health should be a family priority too.”

With October designated as breast cancer awareness month globally, the Ogaan Cancer Foundation along with the ELLE Breast Cancer Campaign also has other interesting pink ribbon promotions to raise awareness and funds.
 

What is disturbing Kareena's daily routine?

Continued shooting schedules and promotional activities for months at stretch are taking toll on Kareena's health. Not just is she terribly exhausted, a change in sleeping pattern for days in succession has further disturbed her daily routine.

 

"Soon she would be shooting in nights with Imran Khan for 'Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu'. Then in morning she has promotional activities lined up for RA. ONE. She is barely able to catch on her sleep and somehow manages 4-5 hours of rest everyday", says a close associate of Kareena.

 

What is making it all further difficult for Kareena is the fact that this isn't just a passing phase and her schedule will actually stay on to be a little erratic for many more weeks to come.

 

"Her BODYGUARD came just a few weeks back and now RA. ONE requires her attention. In between she is also shooting for AGENT VINOD and DHUAAN", he continues, "Then in November she begins HEROINE. Most of her films also require a lot of travel. She has never been as busy and occupied as this but then it has also tired her a lot."

 

When contacted, Kareena agreed that it has been a hectic season for her. She said, "Yes, physically it has taken a toll on me and I am very exhausted. However I am trying to take out time for family and strike a balance."

 

Cheering up, she adds, "Looking at the brighter side, this is something that I always wanted. I love working, it is my passion. Acting is great and fortunately I have worked with some fun films in last 1-2 years. So no regrets here."

 

And what are Bebo's plans for Diwali?

 

Bright and loud Diwali, yet Bebo seem so simple! Well, Kareena Kapoor who was present for the shoot of 'Diwali Rishton Ki Mithas' refused to wear a shiny, blood-red sari for the event that will be aired on the channel soon.

 

Wondering what made her angry or was she too shy? Well, humble Kareena reasoned that her beau Saif Ali Khan's dad Nawab Pataudi has recently passed away. And it would look really bad on her part if she dolls up for a public event.

 

So, she asked the designer working on her costume for the show to tone the colors down to the point that they look pale and faded

Sonam Kapoor's style statement

Sonam Kapoor has an impeccable fashion sense and that comes across in the clothes she wears. From regal gowns to cinched waists, Sonam has tried it all. But if you thought that her wardrobe will be all pink, you are wrong. The actress loves androgynous fashion and likes to experiment with pants. She is also quite fascinated by the 50’s fashion especially, the perfect curls, swing skirts and floral prints. Here’s a look at this young fashionista.
