Fashion2012

Many would agree that the month of August put an end to the lull being witnessed on the fashion front for a while now.


After the glorious Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai and the Delhi Couture Week in the Capital, the entertainment capital is now hosting the India International Jewellery Week (IIJW) 2012.


The five-day glamorous week, which kickstarted on Saturday at Mumbai's Hotel Grand, already has a host of Bollywood celebs in attendance along with some of the most exquisite jewellery designs on display.

Back with its third edition, the jewellery week organised by the Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) has a line-up of some of the best and biggest jewellery houses along with 20 budding designers in participation. Fashion designer Vikram Phadnis showcased his collection on Sunday in association with Gitanjali Gems, bringing forth his beautiful collection of anarkalis, net saris and embroidered lehengas. These creations were brought to life by enigmatic diamond and emerald sets paired with them along with exquisite traditional kundan and polka pieces.


The IIJW brand ambassador for three years now, actress Sonam Kapoor and the Indian fashion industry's current favourite Hema Malini opened the show in company of several members of the film as well as the television fraternity. While the style diva looked stunning in a monotone solid green gown paired with a diamond necklace, the veteran beauty took the classic sari route. On being the guest of honour, Hema said, "Jewellery is an important part of fashion. The new designs and the wide variety of jewellery from all parts of the country makes India a wholesome jewellery destination."


Amid all the glitz and glamour of Day One, the Beti campaign brought to the fore the fight against crimes against women - such as female foeticide and infanticide, rapes and dowry deaths. Showing their support for the cause, B-town stars Viveik Oberoi, Zayed Khan, Tusshar Kapoor, Raima Sen and many more made their presence felt on the runway. A whole bunch of telly couples such as Rohit Roy and Mansi, Samir Soni and Neelam and Nandish Sandhu and Rashmi also lent their support by walking the ramp.


The day, which started with Sufi singer Kavita Seth's performance, ended with singer Sonu Nigam's soulful presentation and his debut ramp act.


For renowned jewellery house Dwarkadas Chandumal, actress Mugdha Godse was seen on the ramp in an all-black ensemble paired with a striking diamond and ruby necklace. An array of diamond designers showcased their collections for the brand, with each piece standing out for its cuts and structuring.


While the show doesn't yet have a packed audience or a formal ambience, putting the spotlight on jewellery surely shows how the current fashion scene has progressed. With the likes of Sushmita Sen, Malaika Arora and Dia Mirza expected to be seen as showstoppers this season, it seems like this edition seems to be bigger and better.


Celebrities for a cause:

Singer Sonu Nigam with wife Madhurima.

Model-turned-actress Sayali Bhagat with her mother at the show.

Bollywood stars Tusshar Kapoor and Raima Sen walked the runway hand in hand.

Viveik Oberoi catwalked with his mother.

Mumbai, Aug 3: In a significant statement, Mumbai Police chief Parambar Singh on Monday said that actor Sushant Singh Rajput was “emotionally disturbed” after the death of his ex-manager Disha Salian.

“When he saw his name being linked to Disha Salian’s death on social media, he was emotionally disturbed. He had met Disha Salian only once, he even asked his advocate who she was,” Singh told reporters in Mumbai.

According to him, Sushant Singh Rajput was conscious about what was appearing about him on social media.

Singh also rejected allegations that Mumbai police had not sealed the Bandra duplex flat where the actor ended his life.

“The flat was sealed on June 14 itself (the day of the suicide), the next day, on June 15, forensic teams and doctors visited the flat. Only after that, the flat was unsealed,” Singh said.

The police chief also ruled out that a party was held in the flat on June 13 evening. “We have the CCTV footage of June 13 and 14,” he said.

On the quarantining of Bihar IPS officer Vinay Tiwari in Mumbai, Singh said that he does not have knowledge of this. “The BMC should have knowledge of this. They look into quarantine issues, we do not,” he said.

Singh said that the investigations are ongoing and so far 56 statements have been recorded. “We are in touch with experts, doctors,” he said.

On the bank accounts, he said that during their investigations it has come to light that Rs 4.5 crore was there in the form of deposits.  “We have recorded the statement of his current chartered accountant, former chartered accountant, we have checked the bank statements, ledger,” he said, adding that investigations are still underway.

According to the FIR filed by Sushant Singh Rajput’s father Krishna Kumar Singh in Patna, his son’s money was swindled by his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty and her family members.

“The Mumbai Police is investigating the case thoroughly, from all possible angles, including his family members, friends, doctors and others, besides the details of the financial transactions of Sushant’s bank accounts,” Singh said.

To a query on the name of a prominent Maharashtra politician being dragged in social media, Singh categorically said that the investigations have not shown any such thing.

Singh also said that the Mumbai police had “initially recorded” the statement of the family members. “The statements of father and sisters were recorded on June 16,” he said, however, added that they have not responded to requests later on.

He said that the Mumbai Police has extended all cooperation to the family. “Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister and brother-in-law met our joint commissioner of police. They wanted to go to the Pune bungalow in Pawna area. An assistant commissioner of police accompanied them,” he said.

Who is Disha Salian?

Disha Salian hails from Karnataka’s coastal district of Udupi. She was born in 1992 into a business family background. She reportedly migrated to Mumbai with her family at an early age. 

After completing her education, she worked in the Times of India Group for more than three years. She went on to become the celebrity manager at Media Vantage.

Apart from Sushant, she had great links with many popular celebrities like Bharti Singh, Alisha Panwar, and others.
