चित्रांगदा सिंह  कल मना रही है अपना जन्मदिन दिल्ली में परिवार के साथ
चित्रांगदा सिंह अपना जन्मदिन दिल्ली में अपने परिवार वालो के साथ मना रही है ! इस बार वो अपने जन्मदिन के अवसर पर बहुत  खुश है ! क्यूंकि शूटिंग से टाइम निकाल के काफी लम्बे समय बाद अपने परिवार के साथ कुछ वक्त बिताने को मिला !
चित्रांगदा सिंह का कहना था कि,"मै बहुत खुश हूँ कि इस साल मै अपने  जन्मदिन पर  अपने माता -पिता और परिवार वालो के साथ रहूंगी ! और मै बहुत उत्सुक भी हूँ क्यूंकि "जोकर " मेरे जन्मदिन के अगले ही दिन रिलीज़ हो रही है! मेरे लिए मेरा पहला आयटम सांग ( काफिराना   ) ही इस साल का सबसे बड़ा जन्मदिन का तोहफा है जो  मुझे फराह ने दिया !"
chitrangada singh quote,"I'm so glad I can spend my birthday this year with my parents. Fortunately I'm off. Also I'm super excited that Joker releases just one day after my birthday. To me, my first item song (Kaafirana) is the best birthday gift that Farah Could give me"

प्रियंका है पापा की लाडली

टैटू - एक ऐसी निशानी है जो न मिटाई जा सकती है और छिपाए छिप सकती है. एक बार बना लिया तो मानो ज़िन्दगी भर का ठप्पा लग गया.  देखा जाए तो ये उन यादों की तरह है जो मिटाए नहीं मिटती हैं. हम आयदिन देखते हैं कि लोग टैटू बनवाते हैं. देखा जाए तो ये एक तरह का ट्रेंड है जो काफी वक़्त से चला आ रहा है. स्टार हों या आम आदमी सभी टैटू के दीवाने हो चुके हैं. और हर किसी के टैटू के पीछे कोई न कोई अर्थ ज़रूर छिपा होता है. 
टैटू कई किस्म के होते हैं. ज़्यादातर लोग अपने प्रेमी-प्रेमिका या पति के लिए टैटू बनवाते हैं, कई भगवान के चित्र और मंत्र बनवाते हैं या ड्रैगन और अलग अलग तरह के डिजाईन के टैटू बनवाते हैं. लेकिन अब टैटू में भी एक नया ट्रेंड आया है और ये ट्रेंड लाने वाली और कोई नहीं बल्कि प्रियंका चोपड़ा है. आज से पहले किसी ने अपने पिता के लिए कोई टैटू नहीं बनवाया था लेकिन अब हिंदी फ़िल्म इंडस्ट्री में प्रियंका ही एक ऐसी स्टार है जिसने इस बात को भी मुमकिन कर दिखाया. हाल-फिलहाल में ही अपने पापा के लिए एक प्यारा सा टैटू बनवाया है. ये टैटू प्रियंका ने अपनी कलाई पर करवाया है जिसमें लिखा है Daddy's li'l girl. ये टैटू खासतौर से अपने पापा के लिए बनवाई है और उन्हें डेडीकेट किया है. इस बात से साफ़ ज़ाहिर हो गया कि प्रियंका अपने पिता से कितना प्यार करती है और उनके प्रति कितना लगाव रखती है. 
पिता और बेटी के बीच का प्यार कितना गहरा होता है ये तो सदियों से सुनते आये हैं. प्रियंका और उनके पिता के बीच भी जो बौंड है वो अनमोल है. उनके पिता ने हमेशा से उन्हें आगे बढाने में उनका साथ दिया है. हर कदम पर उनका साथ दिया है. उन्हें हमेशा प्रियंका के साथ अवार्ड फंक्शन में भी जाते हुए देखा है. इस टैटू वाली भेंट से उनके पिता को कितनी ख़ुशी मिली होगी ये तो वही बता सकते हैं.
प्रियंका के अलावा हम अगर देखें तो और भी कई अभिनेत्रियाँ और महिला फ़िल्मी हस्ती हैं जिन्होंने ने अलग अलग प्रकार के टैटू बनवाए हैं.  दीपिका पादुकोण ने २ टैटू बनाये हैं. सबसे पहला टैटू उन्होंने अपने पूर्व प्रेमी के अक्षर का बनाया था जो कि गले के पीछे तरफ है. उसके बाद दूसरा टैटू उसने अपने एंकल पर एक खूबसूरत सा डिजाइन बनवाया. सुजैन रौशन ने बिलकुल अपने पति ऋतिक रौशन से मिलता जुलता टैटू बनवाया है.
मलाईका अड़ोरा खान के लोअर बैक में एक angel का टैटू बना हुआ है. अहाना देओल ने भी एक डेविल का टैटू बनवाया है और उसके पैर पर एक बहुत बड़ा सा टैटू है. इसके अलावा कंगना रानावत ने एक टैटू अपने गले के पीछे बनवाया हुआ है. इनके अलावा भी कई जानी मानी सेलिब्रिटीज़ हैं जिन्होंने टैटू बनवाए हैं. ये उन ट्रेंड में से नहीं है जो आकर चला जाये. ये हमेशा चलने वाला ट्रेंड है.
यूँ तो फिल्मों में कलाकार कयी तरह के नए नए टैटू के साथ प्रयोग करते हैं परन्तु वो अस्थायी होते हैं. लेकिन कई कलाकार हैं जो कि असल ज़िन्दगी में भी अपने शरीर पर टैटू करवाते हैं. अब अपनी अभिनेत्रियों को ही देख लीजिये. इंडस्ट्री में कई अभिनेत्रियाँ है जिन्होंने अपने शरीर के अलग अलग हिस्से पर टैटू बनवाएं हैं और ये अस्थायी वाले नहीं हैं. टैटू बनवाना कोई आसान काम नहीं है. इसे बनवाने में बेहद तकलीफ झेलनी पड़ती है और एक बार जो छप गया उसे मिटाना लगभग नामुमकिन ही है.
