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.

New Delhi, Jul 14: Going down the memory lane, late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's close friend and actor Rhea Chakraborty recalled her memories with the departed actor as Rajput's untimely demise completed one month on Tuesday.

This marks the 'Jalebi' actor's first social media post dedicated to Rajput after his demise.

Chakraborty took to Instagram to post two pictures of herself with the 'Kai Po Che!' actor and complimented the post with a long emotional note.

She began the note by stating how she is "still struggling" to face her emotions and said that she will never come to terms with the actor's demise.

"Still struggling to face my emotions.. an irreparable numbness in my heart. You are the one who made me believe in love, the power of it," she wrote.

"You taught me how a simple mathematical equation can decipher the meaning of life and I promise you that I learnt from you every day. I will never come to terms with you not being here anymore," she added.

Terming Rajput as the "greatest physicist," the 'Mere Dad Ki Maruti' actor then recalled Rajput's passion for astrophysics.

"I know you're in a much more peaceful place now. The moon, the stars, the galaxies would've welcomed "the greatest physicist "with open arms," Chakraborty wrote.

Full of empathy and joy, you could lighten up a shooting star - now, you are one. I will wait for you my shooting star and make a wish to bring you back to me," she added.

Remembering the bond that she shared with him, Rhea wrote, "You were everything a beautiful person could be, the greatest wonder that the world has seen. My words are incapable of expressing the love we have and I guess you truly meant it when you said it is beyond both of us."

"You loved everything with an open heart, and now you've shown me that our love is indeed exponential," she added.

The 28-year-old actor ended the note by stating how she will love Rajput for a "lifetime."

"Be in peace Sushi. 30 days of losing you but a lifetime of loving you....Eternally connected. To infinity and beyond," she wrote.

Chakraborty and Rajput were close friends and were also set to share the screen space in the film 'Happy Anniversary.'

Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai residence on June 14. The investigation in the case related to Rajput's demise is currently underway for which Chakraborty was also interrogated by Mumbai Police.

Mumbai, Apr 29: Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor is not keeping well and has been admitted to a city hospital here, his elder brother Randhir Kapoor said.

The 67-year-old actor was taken to H N Reliance hospital by his family on Wednesday morning.

"He is in the hospital. He is suffering from cancer and he has some breathing problem, so he has been admitted to the hospital. He is stable now," Randhir told PTI.

The actor returned to India last September after undergoing treatment for cancer in the US for almost a year.

In February, Kapoor was hospitalised twice due to his health issues.

He was first admitted to a hospital in Delhi where he was attending a family function. At the time, Kapoor had said that he was suffering from an "infection".

After his return to Mumbai, he was again admitted to a hospital with viral fever. He was discharged soon after.

Kapoor, who has been quite active on social media, hasn't posted anything on his Twitter account since April 2.

The actor recently announced his next project, a remake of Hollywood film "The Intern", also featuring Deepika Padukone.
