HIGH LIFE - Of Blue Label and blue sapphires
There are two kinds of parties, ones that people host just for Page 3 and some all for the sake of fun and no publicity. It took me quite a while when I was new in this business to figure which party was which one. Over time, most of these parties turned into events all for the sake of the press. I used to joke about these parties and call them ( Read more... ) -
HIGH LIFE - Kya fit hai
Matter forgotten. Until the next morning. I saw the Singh who is about to be King crooning on my screen. I thought Akshay Kumar is as fit. Once again, I attributed his looks to his disciplined life.

My colleague confessed recently, “It is ( Read more... ) -
HIGH LIFE - ‘We’ is for victory

To me, his dating and partying were always good news but perhaps it wasn’t the same for his career. I moved to the US and didn’t see him for a few years. ( Read more... ) -
HIGH LIFE - Double no longer trouble
And now check out Bollywood’s generation Y. They are showing off and how. Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone no longer have to fear the sword that once hung on the ancestral actors who had to stay single until they had made it as stars. I think it is the other way round today. The more you publicise your relationship, the better the rewards. Not ( Read more... )
