Sonali Bendre Behl to be the face of the revival of Paithanis of Maharashtra state

Being a Maharashtrian and aamchi Marathi mulgi, Sonali feels proud and honoured to endorse the ancient traditional weave and she feels strongly for the dying art of handloom in Maharashtra and would like to spread awareness about weaver's work.
For those not aware, Paithani uses the ancient technique of tapestry where multiple threads of different colours along with gold and silver threads are weaved together to form a fascinating piece of silk. It's made from natural silk or cotton with precious gold and silver metal threads that gives Paithani the Midas touch.
Sonali says , "I do like wearing Paithani Sarees as I find them graceful. I have a collection from my mother n my mother in law. I would say my favorites are live chiffons as they are light can be dressed up or down with blouse, jewellery etc for day as well as night functions, can literally live in them. The reasons for me to be associated with it is that paithani reminds me of my mother, her mother, aunts.... In maharashtrian households ur wedding trousseau is not complete without a paithani.....Also it's weave motifs n Colors r so rich that it has been my fascination from d time I was a lil girl"

KANYE WEST PREMIERES ‘BRILLIANT’ VISUAL FOR “FAMOUS” TO 10,000 FANS AT LA FORUM & MILLIONS AROUND THE WORLD VIA TIDAL

“Hypnotic… His Most Thought-Provoking Work Yet…ambiguity goes to the core of what he’s trying to say about the mythos of contemporary celebrity…West has pushed the format of the music video before… But this is his most naked attempt to raise the music video to the level of an art piece.. he raises expectations only to confound them.” – Vanity Fair

“Unsettling and Brilliant…possibly his most genius but terrifying work he's ever given us.” - Paper

“Damn genius…"Famous" is a spectacularly bizarre and enthralling experience…everything about the video for "Famous" feels obsessively deliberate.” – The Verge

“Powerful…Kanye’s long been interested in art, and “Famous” is yet another example of him melding the musical with the visual. But as familiar as that combination is for Yeezus, the results still have the power to surprise…one thing is clear: In 2016, he has recaptured the throne and is again the king of rap. More than a decade after The College Dropout, no one else can make listeners cheer, squirm, or stare in amazement the way ‘Ye can. The visual for “Famous” gave us exactly what we expect from Kanye: the unexpected…It’s thought-provoking, problematic, and most importantly, it created a larger-than-life moment that asked viewers a variety of uncomfortable questions about celebrity at large, and Kanye’s relationship to it. It’s everything we demand of Kanye, and this far into his career, he still delivers better than any of his peers.” - Complex

“The bodies—tangled in sheets, peacefully at rest—are being filmed by an intrusive, voyeuristic third party. It's uncomfortable, shot with a scratchy, dated, night vision camera. It's fascinating: Are any of them playing themselves? Who in this bed is real? It's aggravating. But more importantly, it shows our obsession with celebrity culture. Even at their most vulnerable, even when we hate them or love them, we can't bring ourselves to look away.” - Esquire

June 28, 2016 – Los Angeles, CA – On Friday night in Los Angeles, Kanye West again asserted himself as one of the most daring, thought-provoking, and dominant artists working today. Turning the sold-out LA Forum into a theater – and livestreaming to a worldwide audience of millions via TIDAL – Kanye upended the idea of what music video can be with the visual for “Famous,” the lead track from his #1 album The Life Of Pablo. A “comment on fame,” the visual has been hailed by fans and press alike as “powerful,” “fascinating,” “brilliant,” ‘unsettling,” and “damn genius.”

The “Famous” visual is currently streaming exclusively on TIDAL .

As a trained multi-disciplinary artist, Kanye West works fluently in mediums ranging from music, to design, video, graphic design, performance and more. His list of collaborators includes contemporary artists Takashi Murakami, Steve McQueen, George Condo, Vanessa Beecroft, Marco Brambilla, Jackie Nickerson, and Michel Gondry, among others. West’s language encompasses fantasy, sex, beauty, celebrity, faith, darkness, power and above all, truth. Last year, West received a doctorate from School of the Art Institute of Chicago in recognition of his many accomplishments in the fine arts, and was introduced by artist and SAIC professor Nick Cave.

In a commentary from Art Basel Miami in 2014, New York Magazine asked “Could Kanye West Be the World’s Most Committed Artist?,” stating “Commitment is a big part of what we admire in fine art. When Jerry Saltz recently shared his memory of seeing a performance artist in 1990…we felt punchline giddy when he revealed this was Matthew Barney. An artist’s commitment over the decades illuminates a narrative that makes us feel secure watching individuals push their boundaries…Kanye West has this quality; he is an artist who commits, even when it isn’t prudent, comfortable, realistic, or flattering.”

“It was a challenge to shoot in the desserts of Jaisalmer” – Kinshuk Vaidya

Shooting in desserts of Rajasthan during summer season is definitely a task for actors. Similar was the case with the talented Kinshuk Vaidya who had to face a tough time shooting in the scorching heat of Jaisalmer. Based on the background of Rajasthan, Kavita Barjathiya’s upcoming show on Sony Entertainment Television shot a few episodes of their show Ek Rishta Saajhedari Ka in Jaisalmer.

It was a challenge to shoot in the desserts of Jaisalmer says Kinshuk Vaidya, “Jaisalmer is a beautiful city and since our show background is based on Rajasthani family we shot a few episodes of the show there. The set of the show was made very attractive and the shoot was really grand and amazing. But well not only for me, but for the entire cast it was a challenging task to shoot in the desserts in this scorching heat of summer season.”

Furthermore he elaborates saying, “When people couldn’t even think of stepping out their house, we shot outdoors. The heat was terrible and the temperature was more than 50 degree. Though we used to start shooting early in the morning, we would start feeling the heat by 10:30am. I used to apply layers of sunscreen to avoid tan. But having said that, the enthusiasm and the passion to play this role just took over all the stress.”

Truly, enthusiasm and passion surely kills stress!

Y-FILMS’ INVITES YOU FOR A SEX CHAT WITH PAPPU & PAPA India & Possibly World’s 1st Sex-Ed Fiction Series

9 months, 50 million views, 3 web series, 6 short films, the world’s 1st Transgender Band, 1 webby & a Cannes Grand Prix Glass Lion later, Y-Films, the youth wing of Yash Raj Films continues to push the envelope putting out path-breaking content. Sex Chat with Pappu & Papa is the most unique show of it’s kind in India – and probably the world. A 5-part fiction series premiering on the Y-Films YouTube channel, it tells a story that will deliver information across different themes related to sex/ sexuality. From masturbation & periods to condoms, pregnancy and homosexuality. In a clean, honest style – with a lot of humor. And certainly a lot of heart.

Starring Anand Tiwari, Kabir Sajid, TV’s favorite Sanjeeda Shaikh, Dum Lagaa Ke Haisha’s Alka Amin and veteran Sachin Pilgaonkar, the series marks the directorial debut of Ashish Patil, Head of Y-Films and has been written by Gopal Datt & Devang Kakkad with story supervision by Amritpal Bindra & Anand Tiwari. It tells the story of the Watsa family. Featuring a curious 7-year-old boy, Pappu – who shoots the most outrageous questions to his Papa, Anand. Who attempts to answer them to the best of his ability – initially with a lot of awkwardness and eventually with a lot of fun, simple anecdotes. All this while his own father – the very traditional, conservative and possibly 'khadoos' Pitaji – keeps questioning his actions. While his wife, the much pregnant, Shireen and mother, Mataji get torn between this mad conflict and help Pappu & Papa find peace, balance and, of course, add a lot of their own masti to it.

Adds producer-director, Ashish Patil, “The 2nd most populated country in the world, in spite of being the home of texts and temples such as the Kamasutra & Khajuraho… sex is still a very taboo topic in India. Most parents clam up when having to talk to kids about the 'birds & the bees'. Sex education is not even provided in most schools. And when done - not appropriately curated or delivered. Misinformation or lack of information cause further confusion and problems. Which is why you have 40-year old men writing in to sex columns asking if they’ll go blind if they masturbate! Research clearly shows that sex talk with parents is directly linked to safer sexual behavior. This is our attempt to bring this important conversation out of the closet. So come on, let’s talk about sex, baby!”

The series has been heavily researched and ratified by some of the foremost medical experts, top hormonal, gynecological doctors of the country. We hope it creates some genuine social impact, not just locally but globally.

Prateik Babbar auditions for a French TV show

Prateik Babbar, who has been gearing up for his second innings in Bollywood, wants to tap the right projects coming his way.

If sources are to be believed, the talented actor has recently auditioned for a popular French TV show that has been on air for almost a decade.

A source close to the actor suggest, “The makers of the show were looking for an Indian character for a couple of episodes and they felt Prateik fits the bill. Accordingly, they approached him. The actor auditioned for the role two weeks back.”

Manoj Bajpayee learns Judo

Manoj Bajpayee, who will be seen playing Judo coach Biranchi Das in his forthcoming biopic, Budhia Singh: Born To Run, had to learn the self-defense art for his role.

The National award winning actor learnt Judo for a particular scene to make it look real and considering the method actor that Manoj is, he also practiced the martial art form with Judo experts on the set.

A source informs, “Though Manoj has performed action in several films, this is for the first time he will be seen executing authentic Judo fight scenes in Budhia Singh: Born To Run. Since he wanted the fight scenes to look real, he was ready to learn Judo for couple of days under the supervision of Judo experts.”

“Judo is an intensely physical sport requiring participants to have excellent upper and lower body strength and power. Manoj followed a particular diet for couple of days which included food with high carbohydrate and protein intake,” the source adds.

“I follow my own diet (for a few days, he was on a high-carb and protein). I keep experimenting, but I am not into building a bulky, muscular body. I am always ready to shape myself into any kind of role physically. Mentally, it’s a different thing. I chalk out a process and just follow it,” Manoj informs.

“I love running, so that was not a problem, but since Biranchi used to teach Judo, I had to undergo basic training in the martial art because there are a couple of shots where he is teaching. So, I trained for 15-20 days,” the actor adds.

The versatile actor kept his interaction with Mayur to the minimum on the sets. “Since I play a coach who was strict by nature, I had to maintain a distance and not become too friendly with him,” he reasons.

Produced by Viacom18 Motion Pictures and Code Red Film Productions and directed by Soumendra Padhi, the film will run in cinemas on August 5, 2016.
