Sonam most stylish celebrity in Bollywood: Wendell Rodricks

November 28, 2014

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, Jul 21: Police have recorded statements ofthree psychiatrists and a psychotherapist as part of their probe into the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput last month, a senior official said on Monday.

Their "statements were recorded over the last three- four days" by the Bandra police who are probing the case, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone IX) Abhishek Trimukhe.

The late actor was consulting these mental health professionals and hence their statements were recorded as part of the ongoing probe, police said.

Rajput was undergoing treatment for depression since November 2019, they said.

Rajput, 34, was found hanging in his suburban Bandra apartment on June 14 in what the police claimed was a case of suicide. In the initial investigation, the Mumbai police had found that the actor was under medication for depression.

So far, the police have recorded statements of over 36 people, including director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Bollywood casting director Mukesh Chhabra, actress Sanjana Sanghi and Rajput's friend Sandip Singh, among others.

Rajput's friend, actor Rhea Chakraborty, has also given her statement to the police.

Filmmaker Aditya Chopra recorded his statement in connection with the case at the Versova Police Station on Saturday.

Rajput starred in films such as 'Shuddh Desi Romance', 'Raabta', 'Kedarnath' and 'Sonchiriya'. But his most prominent role came as cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the biopic, 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story'.

New Delhi Apr 10:  Actor Salman Khan on Friday thanked people for staying indoors and shared two pictures, first showing Bada Qabaristan's (graveyard) gate which has been closed due to lockdown and the second was of an empty street in Mumbai.

The actor thanked the people for listening to the guidelines and understanding the gravity of this situation amid the 21-day government-imposed lockdown in view of coronavirus outbreak. The tweet by 'Dabangg' actor came soon after the conclusion of Shab-e-Barat.

Shab-e-Barat is observed as a day of forgiveness or atonement in Islam and leads to congregations at graveyards and religious places.

The 54-year-old actor took to Twitter and wrote, "Wah! Thank u for listening n understanding the gravity of this situation the country is in. God bless n protect each n every 1.

Over the past few days, appeals were made to the Muslim community from several quarters to not venture out of their houses to pray on Shab-e-Barat in view of the COVID-19 lockdown.

Earlier, the 'Tiger Zinda Hai' star shared his lockdown experience in a video message with nephew Nirvaan and urged people to take the government's advisory of self-isolation seriously amid the rising cases of coronavirus in the country.
