Laugh Often

Smiling is one thing. Some people don't believe in smiling. They like to have this very stern, serious so called sexy expression on their face. They are in some sort of an attitude all the time. Even when they smile it is so fake. We can always see a lot of fake smiles...cloned fake smiles at beauty pageants that endorse Pretention to the core. I can almost see the fake smile of Aishwarya Rai when she went for the Miss World Contest. She was definitely in the top 10 worst looking participants that night with that grin adding to her personality completely. At that time she used to give a parrot's speech about peace and the woman's role in spreading peace and love everywhere she went. She did fix that smile quite a bit...now the grin sucks totally.

But true hearty laughter is the real thing. I knew an aunt whom I haven't seen in ages she laughed like a horse. It was so loud. There is a thought, that we should never really stop laughing because it is good for our health. It helps our immune system and it also boosts our intelligence.

Laughter is contagious they say, which is quite true. People in a group may follow one another when one person breaks into a good laugh. In many countries around the world, hospitals formally have group laughter therapy sessions for patients. India is one of the popular follower of laughter therapy where Laughing Clubs are just as popular as Rotary Clubs are in USA. 

I think we should definitely try it out someday...the laughter therapy and see the difference it makes in our life. My sister and I tried it one day but couldn't really even start the laughter itself. We didn't pursue it but hope to practice it. In Pakistan, people don't laugh much. Here people mostly watch news channels.

Aishwarya clarifies over false ‘whiteface’ reports

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has given her clarification over the reports of her filing a suit against a magazine.

Her spokesperson Imagesmiths has clarified in this letter sent to us by saying –

“We would like to put on record the article printed in Mumbai Mirror dated the 27th of Dec is in fact false (“Ash might sue for 'whiteface'”). The statement made therein by the author is self created and bears no representation to our client or the Bachchan family.

Our client Aishwarya Rai Bachchan or the Bachchan family is not in any form of communication with the tabloid Mumbai Mirror and as such the story is an attempt to use their names to make news and a sensational article. We regret the same as such fictitious articles lead to rumour mongering.

We would wish to clarify that Any Statement or Opinion that our client Aishwarya Rai Bachchan needs to give will be given via her spokesperson that is Imagesmiths.”

It all started when a fashion bible carried the picture of Aishwarya Rai with a white bleaching botch-up on her face.

What Did Bollywood Hotties Do in 2010?

Deepika Padukone: She is over Ranbir Kapoor and though she tries to hide but people kind of know that she has a new boy friend, Siddharth Maliya, son of business tycoon, Vijay Maliya. She worked in a couple of films like Lafangay Parindey, Break Ke Baad and Khelen Hum Jee Jaan Se but none of the films were a hit at the box office.

Sonam Kapoor: This stylish young girl, has gained recognition for her style sense and the fashionista title for sure. She has turned a fashion mentor in Mumbai and talked about fashion times at Fashion Class with Esprit at the Esprit Store. Her film I Hate Luv Storys was liked by audience.

Malika Sherawat: She did lots of work for her international Hollywood debut project Hisss. She walked on the red carpet of Cannes Film Festival with a snake around. She even visited the snake temple. The film did not do well at the box office.

Katrina Kaif: She turned out to be the shining star in 2010 also just like the previous year, not really for her acting but for her looks and charms. Her performance in Shiela Ki Jawani from the film Tees Maar Khan is what made the audience absolutely crazy after her once again just before the end of the year.

Priyanka Chopra: Piggy Chops made her entry on small screen by hosting Khatron Ke Khiladi. But her big screen films, Anjana Anjani and Pyar Impossible were flops.

Malaika Arora Khan: The sexy lady doesn't have to try to hard to keep her fans in love with her. This year, she just did another hit item song "Munni Badnaam Hue" for her husband's film Dabangg. She was a winner completey.

Kareena Kapoor: Though she believes she is number 1, the year was miserable for her with only one hit in the form of Golmaal 3, which was actually not her film totally.

Aishwariya Rai Bachan: She was praised for her performance in Guzaarish. However, Action Replayy and Raavan totally bombed at the box office.

Lara Dutta: She had a quiet year with one hit in the form of Housefull. On the personal front, the year was a happy one for her because she got engaged to tennis star boyfriend, Mahesh Bhupati.

Bipasha Basu: 2010 was surely not her year with a blast from the past when her old topless ad was leaked on the internet. She remained quiet till the controversy died down itself. Besides, she worked in Aakrosh, which was more of an Ajay Devgan and Akshaye Khanna film. Bipasha was hardly visible in that film.

Rani Mukherjee: 2010 was one of the quietest years for her. But by the end of it, she has worked in a good movie it seems, No One Killed Jessica will be released in 2011 Jan.

Aishwarya 'whitened' for fashion magazine?

Fashion magazine Elle is being accused of stirring up a race row following alleged digital lightening of Aishwarya Rai's skin for the glamourous cover page.

The 37-year-old, who achieved global popularity after winning the Miss World crown in 1994 and following it up with films appears on the cover of this month's Indian edition of the magazine.

Though Aishwarya looks picture perfect in a flowing gown and a stunning hairdo, readers started reacting with fury after it was suggested that the fashion magazine might have used digital technology to enhance her complexion, reports dailymail.co.uk. Inside the magazine, she is pictured in a series of shots with light skin.

However, fans have been posting angry comments online about the latest cover.

One comment read: "It's ­annoying because it seems like lighter skin is always in fashion as if darker skin is ­something to be frowned upon."

Colour discrimination is quite a sensitive issue in India, and it is often percieved that those with a lighter complexion are more successful and wealthy.

­This isn't the first time that the magazine has been attacked for appearing to lighten the skin of its non-white models.
