February 6, 2017

Mumbai, Feb 6: With Bandra Fort as the backdrop, performance by live musicians and actress Kareena Kapoor Khan's return to the ramp just 45 days after giving birth to her son, the finale show of the Lakme Fashion Week presented by ace designer Anita Dongre was a night to remember.

Kareena, who is the brand ambassador for Lakme, was the muse for Dongre's Summer/Resort collection which was inspired by liquid gold/argan oil, which is the main component of the new range of lipsticks by the beauty company.

The 36-year-old actress, who welcomed her son Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi in December last year, says she never felt hesitant when she was approached to be show stopper for the show.

"I am walking the ramp just 45 days after giving birth to my son. I don't think that it was a big deal to do. I was happy when I was approached with the idea," Kareena told PTI.

The actress slayed the runway like a boss as she strutted her stuff wearing a white maxi dress teamed with a soft gold long jacket around the amphitheatre much to the delight of shutterbugs and guests.

Incidentally, the actress is also the face of Dongre's western wear brand And.

"I have a great association with Anita. She is very inspirational, not just to me but to all women across the country who relate to her clothes and wear her brand," she says.

Internationally acclaimed make-up artist Donald Simrock, whose client list includes name like Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj, did Kareena's make-up for the show.

Kareena's designer friend Manish Malhotra, actress Sangeeta Bijlani, Diana Penty, Gul Panag, Shabana Azmi, Shriya Saran and Juhi Chawla were present duting the show to cheer the actress from the sidelines.

When asked why her husband Saif Ali Khan was not present at the show, Kareena says the actor is busy taking care of Taimur at home.

"I am lucky that I have such an amazing husband. He is very supportive. So whenever I am out working, he takes care of our baby."

For her latest collection titled Alchemy, Dongre has used hand-crafted embroidery, a portion of which has been done in Jaipur. She has also involved her signature gota-patti work and combined it with new detailing.

"I have kept it very light because it is summer and you don't want to be bogged down. There is embroidery but I have kept it minimal. It feel like you are wearing nothing. I have tried to use the traditional craft and contemporise it," Dongre says.

Mar 21: Singer Sonu Nigam has decided to extend his stay in Dubai as he believes travelling amid the coronavirus outbreak can put people around him at risk.

The singer was in the Himalayas earlier and wanted to come to Mumbai for a concert scheduled for March 6 but it got postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic.

He then decided to head to Dubai to be with his wife and son and has been there since a few weeks.

"I am fortunate that my wife and my son are in Dubai. My son studies here and I keep travelling here a lot, Dubai is like my second base. But my father, sister are alone in India. I wanted to come back to India and be at my father's side but I realised that if I do that, I'll be exposing him to the risk of me carrying this virus, who knows the extent of the danger," Sonu told

The 46-year-old singer said everybody is taking precautions and he wants to ensure that the health of those around him isn't at risk.

"I thought let's not outsmart the virus. I thought it's better for me to stay for a bit (till things go normal). Coming back to India, and then going in quarantine will still be a risk.

"I came to Dubai and I thought I'll be able to go back to India but I didn't know it's going to be such an issue eventually. But we are fine here."

On Friday, singer Kanika Kapoor become the first Bollywood celebrity to test positive for the deadly virus in the country and has said she is under complete quarantine and medical care.

The UP police later booked the singer for negligence and committing acts that are likely to spread disease dangerous to life after she attended at least three gatherings in Lucknow, including a party where political leaders were present.

When asked if his decision of staying back was in anyway related to what happened to Kanika, Sonu said that wasn't the case.

"The last time I was contemplating coming to India was on March 16 night, but thankfully my flight got cancelled. Then from March 17, there was this regulation from the government of India that you have to go on a self quarantine for 14 days, compulsorily. I decided I shouldn't take a chance. Being a potential carrier is the worst thing," he said

In Dubai, the singer said the family is taking extreme precautions.

"We all are being safe, staying indoors, not gathering with many people. Careless people shouldn't be around you at this point, people who are too brash, that 'oh nothing will happen.' I don't allow such people in my vicinity. I'm.very hygiene conscious anyway." said the singer.

Sonu said he will be conducting a live music concert on his social media on Sunday.

Los Angeles, Jun 26: Warner Bros has moved its Christopher Nolan-directed espionage thriller Tenet from July 31 to August 12.

It's the second delay for the highly-anticipated movie, which was originally scheduled to release on July 17 but was postponed to July 31 due to coronavirus pandemic.

Warner Bros. is committed to bringing Tenet' to audiences in theaters, on the big screen, when exhibitors are ready and public health officials say it's time. In this moment what we need to be is flexible, and we are not treating this as a traditional movie release.

We are choosing to open the movie mid-week to allow audiences to discover the film in their own time, and we plan to play longer, over an extended play period far beyond the norm, to develop a very different yet successful release strategy, a Warner Bros spokesperson said in a statement to Deadline.

The studio has also delayed the US re-release of Nolan's sci-fi blockbuster Inception, in honour of the film's 10th anniversary, to July 31.

Tenet features John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Kenneth Branagh, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Michael Caine, Clemence Poesy, Dimple Kapadia and Himesh Patel.
