Sonam most stylish celebrity in Bollywood: Wendell Rodricks

Wendell RodricksPanaji, Nov 28: Renowned fashion designer Wendell Rodricks feels Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor is the most stylish celebrity in the film industry.

Rodricks, who has worked with many Bollywood actresses, including Rekha, Bipasha Basu and Anushka Sharma, said unlike others, the 'Khoobsurat' star is always ready to experiment.

"She (Sonam) is one actress who understands fashion really well. She is the most stylish celebrity in Bollywood and a style icon. She is always open to experimenting. She can wear a nice dhoti saree for an event which other actresses would never like to do," Wendell said.

Asked if he would ever like to design Sonam, who grabbed eye balls at many international events for her dressing sense, the Padma Shri awardee designer said, "She does not need any stylist. She herself is a style icon. She is a south Mumbai girl and I know her since she was a kid. She has fashion sense in her blood because her mother was a fashion designer."

Having designed for celebrities in films, the ace designer feels that the clothes which our cinema showcases are not wearable for the masses.

"Bollywood is selling to a mass market. The mass market does not want such clothes. If a director presents foreign locations and good clothes in his/her film then it's the extra advantage a viewer gets.

"Good clothes are just a feel-good medium like the way Hollywood movies after World War II were. They were made to make people forget their sorrow during that time with song- dance and good clothes. Here in India, people do not live in the best of conditions and film is just a fictitious medium to live a larger-than-life character," he said.

Rodricks' design sensibilities would be next seen in Onir's 'Shab', a film delving into the human psyche and the darkness of human mind.

He is designing the outfits for the film's lead Ashish Bisht. 'Shab' will be Rodricks' second stint in Bollywood costume designing after the 2003 Bipasha Basu starrer, 'Jism'.

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.

New Delhi, Apr 23: As the holy month of Ramzan is about to begin, several Muslim public figures on Thursday appealed to the community to offer tarawih and hold iftar inside their homes and follow the lockdown regulations imposed to tackle the coronavirus threat.

Television actor Iqbal Khan in a video message appealed to the people to not step out of their houses during Ramzan.

"This time around, whatever you do during Ramzan, you have to do it inside your houses. Do not visit mosques; offer tarawih (late evening prayers offered during Ramzan) at your homes. Your stepping outside will not only put you in a problem but may put your family members in trouble also," said Khan.

"And that will be wrong, do not go outside. If anyone says you have to go outside then they are wrong. Stay home and stay safe and help others stay safe too," he added.

Another TV actor and Tik Tok star Jannat Zubair asked people to avoid any kind of social gatherings so as to ensure the safety of everyone.

"I know we are in a difficult situation but there is no need to panic. We will overcome this and things will be fine. The holy month of Ramzan is going to start, please stay home, offer prayers at your homes and avoid family/friends gatherings for now. It is just a matter of time, things will be fine soon. Stay home and stay safe," she said.
Ramzan is likely to begin from April 24.
