Irrfan Khan: The Messiah Of Meaningful Cinema
His calm and collected behaviour speaks a lot about the person he is. He speaks less, listens more. He expresses less, observes more. That makes him a nuanced performer who's able to seamlessly blend with every character he opts to play. The actor doesn't just pick idiosyncrasies to incorporate in the part, he makes them his own. He becomes the character. After delivering three power packed performances on celluloid this year, whether mainstream entertainers or thought-provoking cinema, this man has certainly made his mark! In the plush interiors of a suburban five-star, Irrfan Khan sits down for a candid chat with Pooja Sharma.

Sonali Bendre: Bold And Beautiful
Unlike most actors, who at the cost of being diplomatic sound so rehearsed and predictable, this 90s bombshell is like a breath of fresh air. She belongs to the time when a heros sole purpose in a movie, was to save the heroine from the trap of a scheming, larger-than-life villain. And the heroines prime objective was to portray the damsel in distress, dance on kitschy numbers, and in exceptional cases, play the ultra-glam arm-candy. Sonali Bendre , who's slipped into both roles with equal ease in her glory days, has had her fair share of cinematic outings, both memorable and not-so-memorable. With a mind of her own, she doesn't give two hoots about stating her honest opinions, and has always epitomised the fiery Mumbai mulgi. On a lazy noon, at the Oriflame product launch (of which she's the brand ambassador), the tall and beautiful actress opened up to Pooja Sharma, in a candid chat.

Varun Dhawan: On A High Note
In a competitive business like showbiz, they say, it's easier if one has a filmy background or backing to make it to the top. However, today, the rules have changed.

Its an arduous effort for them to stay afloat owing to constant speculations about career choices and conjectures about other aspects of life. With constant spot-light on the actor, he's still the medias most adorable, and the audiences most loved. Varun Dhawan, who's not one to restrict himself on celluloid, has had a thunderous win this year with back-to-back blockbusters.

Kangana-Hrithik Showdown, Where Love Has Gone?
The Kangana-Hrithik showdown is a bagful of dirty linen being laundered in public. The veracity of it is in question, in any case. Who to believe; because two, seemingly levelheaded superstars have been flinging muck in generous amount at each other? It’s not new in Bollywood. Catfights or cat-and-dog-fight as the case is here, are rife and rampant. But it is a rare time when things escalate to the extent where one slams legal proceedings on the other. Suguna Sundaram wrings out the facts of this distressing shocker for the readers.

Window To His Soul: Abhishek Bachchan
For the first time, I stood on the other side as Abhishek Bachchan spoke, and let one into a part of his persona. Yes, it was personal, by his book. And for me, it was an aspect one had never considered. I look at Abhishek with new eyes. Man is the sum total of all his experiences upto the present moment. And Abhishek has culled his into a persona of deep resonance. I look at him, with almost pride and joy, as I sit back and listen to this extremely lucid and articulate young actor, a man on the journey through his thoughts. And yes, we do like him. Very much.
