Splashes of blue, military prints, patent LBDs, edgy monochromes – all this and much more is available in Alia Bhatt’s well-awaited 2015 collection that aims to have your closet replicate the actor’s, known for her sartorial sense.

The collection, which primarily has four themes - Military, The Blues, Boho and Black & White, befits the actress’ personal sense of style. The actress-designer made sure she personally sat through those rigorous brainstorming sessions and discussed what works and doesn’t for her line. Alia feels the best part of the collection is that it doesn’t need much accessorizing; and you can just play with the make-up and you’re ready to go.

Alia Bhatt, Bollywood star and also the designer for the label Alia Bhatt for Jabong, said, “My collection largely is a reflection of my own sense of style which is easy yet glam. Fashion for me is a natural expression. It is as inherent as my personality. Alia Bhatt for Jabong line is meant for young at heart smart women, who love easy, affordable and edgy fashion. I define my Autumn/Winter 2015 collection as experimental yet wearable. Instinctive and unpredictable at the same time, it combines elements from both sports and work wear.”

Within just three weeks of its preview launch on Jabong.com, Alia’s AW15 collection has already broken the last year’s record by selling nearly double the number of apparel it did during the launch of her AW14 collection.
Jabong was voted as the leading consumer brand among all online fashion retailers in India according to a July 2015 report by Nielsen, a leading global information & measurement company that provides market research and insights in more than 100 countries. In the last year alone, Jabong’s total orders increased by a whopping 131.7%, while the total number of transactions went up by over 158%.
Jabong has in the past tied up with designers such as Gaurav Gupta and Rohit Bal for exclusive lines. The fashion e-commerce portal has also exclusively launched well-known international brands such as TOPSHOP, TOPMAN, Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridge and River Island in the Indian market.
Trend highlights from Alia Bhatt for Jabong
Military: The Military inspired trend is amongst Alia’s personal favourites. This is the first time that the actor is incorporating it in her own collection. There are pants, crop tops, blouses, jackets – all with subtle utility detailing.
Boho: The Boho theme is very wearable, comfortable and stylish in autumn colours and a strong Seventies vibe.
The Blues: This trend is dominated by fun denim jackets, boyfriend jeans, gap denims, distressed denims etc. It’s young, stylish and androgynous.
Black & White: This monochrome line is a chicer mini collection with a focus on soft tailoring and formals. It adapts well as day-to-night and the styles also work as eveningwear.

Frankly.me is app that may connect you to your Bollywood idol

At a time when the whole country is abuzz with news and gossip about the Delhi assembly elections, wouldn't it be cool for any citizen to talk to the two main CM candidates, Arvind Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi? The newly launched Frankly.me allows people to do exactly that. The app tries to diminish the gap between common people and celebrities by bringing well-known people on its platform and allowing users to ask questions.

When it comes to connecting to the followers, most celebrities, actors, and politicians have taken the stage to social media, but it becomes a moot point when the conversation is one-sided as the people don't get a chance to ask questions or respond directly to the person. This is the problem that Frankly is trying to solve. A user can ask a question to any of the personalities listed on the app. The selected question then gets answered by the respective person, say a politician, actor, or author.

Another difference between something like Twitter and Frankly is that the answers on this app have to be in video format. This means you know that your question is getting answered by your idol and not by a person employed to write emails. For example, a tweet by Salman Khan may not actually be written by the actor. But on Frankly.me, the interaction becomes more personal as the celebrity in question has to answer with a selfie video. Interestingly, the selection of a question to be answered is 'diplomatic'. Other users can up vote a question. Thus the most up voted, or most asked questions, are usually answered by celebrities.

Frankly.me sports a user-friendly UI. You can discover celebrities using Frankly in 'Discover' tab and select the ones you want to follow. The chosen ones will then be shown in the 'Feeds' tab. Each profile has an 'Ask' button next to its name.

Launched in December, 2014 Frankly.me has a current user base of about 50,000. Moreover it has roped in over 213 famous personalities, including politicians Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi, and Ajay Maken. Also singers/musicians as Mahalaxmi Iyer, Tochi Raina, and Shafqat Amanat Ali are there to answer routine or difficult questions. The app has been updating the list continuously, some recent addition can very well be called inspirational to youth. Frankly.me has brought in poet and lyricist Javed Akhtar, author Sandeep Unnithan, young wrestler Sangram Singh, and Snapdeal co-founder Kunal Bahl.

The inevitable truth about cinema and fashion is that they are eternally intertwined. Cinema offers fashion a much larger platform to display its beauty. India’s first cinema inspired fashion brand DIVA’NI joins force with Director Habib Faisal and debuts in the arena of movie costuming with Yash Raj Films’ highly anticipated movie 'Daawat-e-Ishq' starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Parineeti Chopra.

For Daawat-e-Ishq, Diva’ni has harnessed its extensive creative flair and outdone itself by reviving Mughal influences in simple yet impressive ways.

Khada Dupatta, Long Jackets, Brocade Pyjamas and Kurtas in bright colours with intricate hand embroidery, create the perfect flavour of Awadhi dressing.

The lead actors in this movie, Aditya Roy Kapur and Parineeti Chopra look striking (even in everyday styles) thanks to the romance that Habib sir has provided with aesthetically curated fashion,
A deliciously romantic coming together of Gulrez “Gullu” Qadir (Parineeti Chopra) a Hyderabadi shoe-sales girl disillusioned with love because of her encounters with dowry-seeking men; and Tariq “Taru” Haidar (Aditya Roy Kapoor) a Lucknawi cook who can charm anybody with the aroma and flavours of his biryani and kebabs.In the clash of diametrically opposite but equally spicy cultures of Hyderabad and Lucknow, Gullu and Taru arrive at a “tuning-setting”, rewrite traditional recipes of love, crush old-fashioned world-view and make their own masaledaar albeli rangreli pichchar ... Daawat-e-Ishq!

Dilip Kumar- the real super star

Dilip Kumar

The Indian film industry and Bollywood in particular, has seen the rise and sometimes fall of many superstars and legends. There have been those who have changed cinema forever and others who have given a whole new dimension to the word actor.

Over the decades, superstars and cinema have both changed. When Dilip Kumar aka Muhammad Yusuf Khan made his debut in 1944 with Jwar Bhata, Bollywood would have a new tragedy king! He went on to give classic performances in films likeAndaz (1949), Aan (1952), Devdas (1955), Azaad (1955) and the epic film Mughal-e-Azam (1960). Over a period of time, he became a legend of his era. So popular was Dilip Kumar that every aspiring actor wanted to be like him and many till date, ape his style of acting. Recipient of many prestigious awards including the Padma Bhushan, Dilip Kumar was also the highest paid Hindi actor in the 50's and early 60's. He is reported to hold a Guinness World Record for winning the maximum number of awards by an Indian actor. A super star had certainly arrived.

Although a name like Dilip Kumar will always remain in the annals of history, he was beaten to his popularity by a new brigade of young actors who had taken over Hindi cinema. In 1966, a mane named Rajesh Khanna (born as Jatin Khanna) made his debut with the film Aakhri Khat. Rajesh Khanna had won the All India Talent Contest organized by United Producers and Filmfare the year earlier and caught the fancy of many film makers. He went on to act in films like Aradhana, the Train, Kati Patang, Daag: A Poem of Love and many more successful films. And it seemed as if Rajesh Khanna had become a sensation overnight.

The term 'Superstar' was first coined for him in India. Rajesh Khanna seemed to drive many crazy and legend has it that women would write love letters to him in their blood and marry his pictures. Wherever he went, he created a mass hysteria! But stardom comes with a price and Rajesh Khanna seemed to be overthrown by a man named called Amitabh Bachchan.

Amitabh Bachchan made an unusual debut in Mrinal Sen's 1969 film Bhuvan Shome. Amitabh did not act in the film but was a voice narrator. He went on to do supporting roles in many films including Anand where he shared screen space with Rajesh Khanna. In fact at that time, Rajesh Khanna stole the show in that film as he was the bigger superstar and Amitabh Bachchan had yet to make his mark.

He played a negative character in Parwaana and made a guest appearance in the film Guddi.But no one would have thought that a man of his caliber would have to go through the grill before making it big in the Hindi film industry. In 1973, Bachchan's luck and image changed with the film Zanjeer. This film established him as the angry young man of Hindi cinema. Bachchan went on to do films like Deewaar, Sholay, Amar Akbar Anthony, Kabhie Kabhie, Don and Trishul to name a few. And a new superstar was born once again. Soon, Big B as he is fondly referred as, rose to popularity He soared high for a long time before hitting a slump, first as an actor and then as a producer. In the 1990's, his career was flagging and he had a huge debt riding on his shoulders.

But the nation's favourtie actor, refused to accept defeat. He made his Television debut withKaun Banega Crorepati at a time when TV was considered a taboo and perhaps a downgrade medium for a film actor, especially one so popular. But that did not deter him. Rather KBC revived his career and Amitabh Bachchan was back in the game once again! His popularity knows no heights and Big B has been honored with the Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan. He was also voted as "greatest star of stage or screen" in a BBC Your Millennium online poll. Amitabh Bachchan has been immortalized at the popular Madame Tussauds wax museum in London and in 2012, he carried the Olympic torch during the last leg of its relay in London's Southwark. But these are a few of his achievements. There perhaps will never been another actor or legend like Big B. He inspires a nation of billion. While all admire and aspire to be like him, can he beat Dilip Kumar and Rajesh Khanna to be called the country's greatest superstar?

This is a big question as all cine lovers have been mesmerized by these all three big stalwarts during their peak period. Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan both had an opportunity to face each other in “Shakti” film, but Rajesh Khanna never acted with king of tragedy . He is no more with us now but the characters he portrayed in films like Baawarchi are still remembered by his fans. As such, it is very difficult to rate one amongst these three as the biggest super star.

However, if we review the entire performance and public opinion, we are sure; maximum will select Dilip Kumar as the biggest super star of Indian film industry. The thespian will be celebrating his 91st birthday this December. He is not only keeping well but facing property issues also, and that too in evening hours of his life. May Almighty give him healthy and long life?

PR 24x7 Network Limited wishes Dilip sahib, a happy birth day.
