I can have more than one wedding, says Kangana Ranaut

July 25, 2016

New Delhi, Jul 25: Actress Kangana Ranaut has quipped she is open to walking down the aisle more than once in her life.

Kangana, 29, whose personal life has been in the spotlight since her entry into Bollywood, feels there's nothing wrong in getting married again if things don't work out.

ranautWhile interacting with the media as a showstopper for designer friend Manav Gangwani at the India Couture Week, the actress said, "Manav and I were talking about my wedding. I told him for first wedding for sure, I will wear his design."

When asked if she was certain she would have more than one wedding, Kangana said smilingly, "Why not? If one can happen, many more can happen!"

This was the second time the three-time National Award winner walked for Gangwani, who presented his collection, "Begum-e-Jannat".

Kangana glowed in a golden-burgundy lehenga-choli. The open hair, bright make-up and other accessories enhaced her look.

"My collection is an ode to a dear friend, I lost recently. I narrated the idea and the collection to Kangana and she is all about friendships. So, she agreed. I have been friends with Kangana since she began her career. She is special," Gangwani said.

The designer added he was happy to have Kangana's support on the occasion that marked the debut of his label Manav Gangwani India.

The actress, who has earlier collaborated with high-end brands for western women wear, expressed wish to venture into designing Indian silhouettes.

Meanwhile, Gangwani's collection was an amalgamation of sentiments evoked by the word 'Jannat', meaning paradise.

The palette for the creations featured ivory as pure, blacks, royal navy, emeralds and wine.

Accentuated by the timeless Zardozi handwork in antique vintage gold to add that touch of royalty, every garment seemed to have thoughtfully crafted to induce the fragrance and grandeur of times gone by.

The designer said the collection epitomizes the essence of every woman, which is timeless, romantic, demure, yet elegant with an undertone of drama and mystery.

The outfits for women included kaftaans, sarees, lehengas and angrakhas.

Complimenting the garments were artfully fashioned Dupattas. Gangwani attempted at reinventing the age-old silhouette of the Angrakha, a cross-over open silhouette that is feminine, yet retains its royal demeanor.

The classic sherwani for men was tweaked, inherent with the old world flamboyance yet infused with contemporary styles.

The special will see Dave Salmoni, Animal Planet’s big cat expert, talking to a number of experts, from the World Health Organization to wildlife biologists, in order to find out how COVID-19 is affecting animals and what pet owners can do to safeguard them.

The issue came to forefront when a four-year-old Malayan tiger tested positive for COVID-19 at Bronx Zoo in New York.

The documentary will feature chief veterinarian of Bronx Zoo, who will give an update on the big cats and their treatment, and also Dr Peter Embarek from WHO's COVID-19 Task Force, who works particularly on all aspects of the virus related to animals.

In a statement, Salmoni said, "When news about Nadia the tiger came out the questions immediately began; what about my pets? How do I keep my animals and family safe? We’re going to answer these questions and more through this documentary."

"We're speaking to a wide range of experts from the World Health Organization, to wildlife biologists, to veterinarians. We are at war with this disease and so we get down to the nitty-gritty, and discuss practical questions about daily lives with our pets," he added.

Sai Abishek, Director – Content, Factual & Lifestyle Entertainment – South Asia, Discovery, said, "We have been the forefront of busting myths around novel coronavirus with international documentaries. With this latest film, we take a hard look at how animals are being treated during such a crisis and the safety measures that can be taken to keep both, the people and their pets healthy."

New Delhi, Apr 14: Legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar on Tuesday paid tributes to Dr BR Ambedkar on his birth anniversary.

The 90-year-old singer took to Twitter to extend her greetings on the occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti and also expressed gratitude for being able to get the chance to meet him.

"Namaskar. Bhartiya Savidhan ke janak mahamanav Bharat Ratna Dr BR Ambedkar Ji ki Jayanti par main unko koti koti vandan karti hu. (Namaskar. On the birth anniversary of Dr. BR Ambedkar, the father of the great Indian Constitution, I offer him a ceremonial offering)" she tweeted.

"Main unko pratyaksh roop se mil saki ye mera sobhagya hai. (It is my good fortune that I got the chance to meet him)," her tweet further read.
Ambedkar, commonly known as Babasaheb, dedicated his life to working for the upliftment of Dalits, women and the underprivileged.

Born into a poor Dalit family on April 14, 1891, Ambedkar became independent India's first law minister, the principal architect of the Indian Constitution and a founding father of the Republic of India.

He also campaigned against the social discrimination faced by Dalits and inspired the Dalit Buddhist Movement in 1956. Ambedkar was awarded the Bharat Ratna posthumously in 1990.
