Doing Casual


Something tells us that debutantes Monica and Kriti were following their director’s (Kiran) lead in setting the tone that they aren’t the regular cookie-cutter Bollywood heroine. And so, at an event where they were introduced to the media, it was neither a Barbie-esque frock nor a soaper-star ethnic look for either one. They came in their most casual (even dowdy if you consider Monica) avatar and while one part of us is hating it, one part of us is liking the rebellious turn.

Which part are you feeling?

Keeping It Casual- Part Deux


No complaints with this appearance of Ms. Rao’s… She kept it simple, she kept it casual and she made it work. Am not sure what I like more, the color of her tunic or that Tods bag!

In Pankaj & Nidhi


For the first screening of Dhobi Ghat at the 54th BFI London Film Festival, it was Pankaj & Nidhi again for director Kiran Rao. Love the comfy-casual dress but oh-no at the boots. Would’ve rather seen her wear stockings and ankle booties to beat the cold.

The Round Up: Dhobi Ghat Premiere at TIFF


The stars of Dhobi Ghat alongwith director Kiran Rao made an appearance at the premiere of their movie at TIFF on Friday. The men went with bandhgala-style jacket suits with Aamir picking a brown one and Prateik, a black one over a blue shirt.

Of the ladies, Kriti was a favorite of mine looking beautiful in an orange gown that she paired with gold bangles, some lovely gold earrings and a gold clutch. Co-star Monica kept it simple and beautiful in a strapless silver-grey Varsha Bhawnani gown with drop earrings. (Why does this gown look familiar?)

Kiran went short in a black & white Pankaj & Nidhi dress that she paired with an owl Judith Leiber minaudiere and a gold necklace. I wish she had picked one or the other.

I wish we had good full-lengths of all but alas, these are the best I could find. Am quite looking forward to more of Kriti and Monica’s appearances on the red carpet though.
