Fashion Face Off: When Malaika Arora, Kendall Jenner & Becky G wore the same Giambattista Valli couture
It so happens that celebrities often end up wearing the same designer couture. Since the designers keep it exclusive for certain celebrities, it does get repeated every now and then. Malaika Arora, earlier this week, attended an award show dressed in a gorgeous red ruffled dress by designer Giambattista Valli.
For the uninitiated, Giambattista Valli launched their new collection for Summer 2020. It was launched in India earlier this month in collaboration with H&M. Malaika Arora looked stunning in the gorgeous ruffled dress and paired it up with heels and statement pearl necklaces. She rounded her look with tied hair, dark lips, and shimmery eyes.
Supermodel Kendall Jenner was the showstopper for Giambattista Valli when he launched the collection in October. She wore the same outfit and instead of pairing it up with accessories, she let the outfit do the talking. Studded red heels, slick ponytail and nude makeup rounded her look.
Interestingly, another star wore the same outfit recently. Becky G, American – Latin popstar, recently hosted the MTV Europe Music Awards 2019. For the red carpet, she wore the same outfit but paired it up with black belt and boots.
Fashion face-off often happens with the stars and it can’t be denied that all three of them rocked the looks in their own way.
But, who do you think looked the BEST amongst the three gorgeous women? Let us know.

Bigg Boss 13: Rashami Desai confesses that she likes Arhaan Khan, talks about her marriage
When it’s Bigg Boss, you never know when the plot changes. Bigg Boss 13 participant Rashami Desai has been making news for reasons more than one. We first heard she and her rumoured boyfriend Arhaan Khan were going to tie the knot in the show, which hasn’t happened, at least yet. Just a few weeks back, Arhaan cleared the air about his speculated romance with Rashami, saying he’d like her only as a friend.
Last night’s episode, however, doesn’t suggest so. Rashami was heard confessing to Paras Chhabra that she indeed liked Arhaan a lot, but she didn’t know where was her and Arhaan’s friendship heading. She also revealed that she was planning to get married and settle down next year.
While Arhaan entered the show much latter with an wild card entry, Rashami’s rekindled friendship with rumoured ex boyfriend Siddharth Shukla also raised a lot of eyebrows and we wondered whether something was cooking there.
Arhaan and Rashami’s proximity, however, is quite noticeable since in the last episode, in the open garden area, she was even seen nibbling his ears, something that he laughed off.
Looks like a new romantic plot is cooking up there!
Watch: Varun Dhawan has an intense message to share on Children’s Day
It’s Children’s Day, and we are loving how our favourite Bollywood stars looked in their childhood. Varun Dhawan, however, had a more intense message to share. Known to enjoy a wide fan following among not just the youth but also the kids, Varun took to Instagram to share a video wherein he is seen suggesting how we all should keep the child within us alive. His video is a beautiful blend of wisdom and warmth!
“The depths of light, as more passes, as the bats wake up, as the owls rejoice, one man dreams, dreams to see beyond the equilibrium of normal reality, see the stars, see to the space, see deep down, the old soul to discover, what life is, where the light is, so one can feel that light over himself, feel it running in his veins, feel it pumping in his blood, and then use that light,” he is heard saying.
That definitely conveys to us the zeal for life that he has, isn’t it?
Varun also told us he wasn’t well and was on medication. Friend Arjun Kapoor also dropped a comment saying ‘U need medicine’…!
The actor is presently shooting for father David Dhawan’s Coolie No. 1 while he also awaits the release of Remo D’Souza’s Street Dancer 3D.
On Children’s Day, Arjun Kapoor thanks his parents for an ‘amazing life’ with an emotional note
It’s Children’s Day, and our favourite Bollywood stars have been sharing photos of their toddler selves. It is always nice to come across those priceless throwback photos. But Arjun Kapoor walked a different way and shared a throwback photo of his parents, the ones who made his childhood worth it. The photo was accompanied by an emotional post.
“So its children’s day today & I thought I must thank my parents for allowing me to have this amazing life growing up as a child…despite all their ups & downs I was always treated with love respect & care…they let me become my own person & be what I am today,” he wrote. In the photo, Arjun’s father Boney Kapoor and late mother Mona Kapoor can be seen smiling at the camera. He also conveyed belated birthday wishes to father Boney Kapoor.
Arjun, who lost his mother to cancer a few years back, has always mentioned how he was extremely fond of her. He keeps sharing the most heartfelt notes for the late mother, and this wasn’t an exception. “May ur love for matching tracksuits long continue… Love you… have an amazing year and stay the way you are…miss your smile Mom nowadays more than ever…hope u happy wherever you are…,” he wrote.

Jacqueline Fernandez takes a trip down memory lane as she completes a decade in Bollywood
Jacqueline Fernandez’s journey until now is no less fascinating than her films. When the actress entered the industry almost a decade ago, she had no prior training in acting nor she had any contacts. The actress recently opened up about her modeling days and how she landed her first role in an interview with a leading daily.
“I was working with a modeling agency and one day I was told that a director from Bollywood wanted to meet me. He was looking for an actress to play Jasmine in his fantasy action-adventure Aladin.” Initially, Jacqueline didn’t expect to get the role as she couldn’t speak Hindi back then. “Since I couldn’t even speak Hindi at the time I was sure they would throw me out during the very first meeting. I walked into the office casually, confident this meeting wouldn’t go anywhere. To my surprise, I ended up playing Aladin Chatterjee’s (Riteish Deshmukh) ladylove in the Sujoy Ghosh directorial”.
Jacqueline went nostalgic while talking about her initial days on a film set and how the team helped her ease tension. “I started my career on a huge set in Mumbai’s Film City. I had to just walk into a store and buy the magic lamp which, when rubbed, released a genie called Genius. Sujoy eased me in, by ensuring that I didn’t have to speak on the first day. I had no idea what I was doing during the initial days of the shoot as I had no acting background and no formal training”.
Jacqueline further revealed how Amitabh Bachchan inspired her to work hard on her skills “As the days passed, I noticed how Amit Ji (Amitabh Bachchan) would come to the set, well prepared, and taking a leaf out of his book, I started painstakingly reading three passages a day in Hindi. I also worked on my diction and dialogue delivery. I started rehearsing my lines, researching stuff written in the script”.
On the work front, Jacqueline’s latest movie Drive was recently released on Netflix and she is all set for her movie Mrs. Serial Killer to release on the same platform. The actress will also star in Salman Khan’s Kick 2 which will be directed by Sajid Nadiadwala.
“I keep telling Suhana, if you don’t smile, I will not be happy,” says Shah Rukh Khan on TED Talks India Nayi Baat
The audience has celebrated the first two weeks of Star Plus’ show TED Talks India Nayi Baat with some thought-provoking and inspiring speakers. This week we will see speaker Deepa Narayan, a social scientist, and author who talks about habits that crush India women to speak up.
The theme of this weekend’s episode is – Bharat Ka Better Half, where speaker Deepa Narayan will share her work and learnings, she has done over the past five years. Her latest book, ‘Chup: Breaking the Silence About India’s Women’, for which she interviewed 600 women, men, and children, reveals that silence is the thread that binds India’s women and men. She says our narrow definitions and expectations of good girls and good women and men’s expectations of girls as fathers actually oppose their efforts to empower girls through education and employment.
She says to both women and men, ‘To change, don’t always think of big things, you don’t need money, you don’t need education, you just have to change your daily habits, one by one, at home, on the streets, in offices, everywhere you go. It’s not about shame or blame. Just change.’
To this Shah Rukh Khan said, “I keep telling Suhana, if you don’t smile, I will not be happy. But I apologize to you for putting pressure for my own happiness. I want to tell everyone that it is ok if anyone wants to be sad, angry, happy, whatever they need to be flexible.”
