Cool Bollywood

Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori are off to a flying start this May. As the date of release nears up, there are more and more skeletons falling from the cupboard.

Recent hot buzz doing the rounds is that the International version of the flick has far too bold images for it to be shown in the Indian arenas.

Barbara had recently said something like it was high time that Indian films allowed some kissing scenes in their films. Now, with that point of view, many had agreed that indeed times had changed.

Now, with the promos of the International version released, it has Hrithik in an intimate pose with Barbara who is topless.

The hotshot promo is truly in International flavor, and is a rage already. The story line, of ‘Kites’ has been handled delicately and some exclusive locales abroad have added charm to the extremely hot scenes. The hot duo has managed to stir the senses even before the release, lets see what pitch the fever goes up to after the release!

Both of them are probably the most stylish and most sought about actors in Bollywood, but unfortunately they are yet to be paired together. Talking about Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif, the duo appear together for the first time in the special issue of Harper’s Bazaar, the world’s oldest fashion magazine with 29 international editions as it successfully completes one year in India.

The issue which was unveiled on February 23rd at a glittering ‘Inspiration Bollywood’ evening held at Lap, New Delhi, raises a toast to the most influential element for Fashion in India -‘Bollywood’. BAZAAR’s anniversary issue includes a number of novelties with taller format and the glittering masthead.

Visiting India on the occasion of the first anniversary celebrations of Harper’s BAZAAR India, Kim St Clair Bodden, Vice President and Executive Director of Hearst Magazines International said “We are extremely proud to see that in merely one year, the magazine has found its way into homes and boutiques across India.

With the success of the magazine, we renew our commitment to our readers that we will continue not only to evolve as a brand but also deliver challenging and relevant content. Our ability to develop editorial concepts that appeal to local sensibilities enables us to fulfill the growing demand for International titles in India.”

Sujata Assomull, Editor, Harper’s BAZAAR India said “It has been a year of fabulous style for us. Real style has always been the mantra of Harper’s Bazaar, working closely with Indian and international luxury brands and designers, we are all about fashion that works for you.

This is why we chose Bollywood as the theme for our first anniversary issue. Bollywood has become the international style face of India and there is no question that in India fashion comes from the reel and not the ramp.”

Gone are the days when you had to slog and sweat yourself in the gym to get a dream body like your favorite film stars. These days, if you want to ‘ape’ your stars and acquire a chiseled body like them, do nothing but simply arm yourself with an internet connection and a ‘twitter’ account!

Sounds crazy? Well, the fact is that the ‘Brand Ambassador of Dream Physique’ department aka Hrithik Roshan, has been tweeting these days sharing all about health and fitness tips.

We are sure that after reading this, all of you are going to immediately jam up the twitter server by logging onto it. But for the impatient ones, here’s what Hrithik has to say (an insight) which includes his favorite health supplements and a few exercises, that will keep your entire body in trim shape!

If you are a regular on his tweets, you will not be surprised if we call him Dr. Hrithik! But for the uninitiated lot, Hrithik has been giving health and fitness tips on Twitter. Sample this: *

• Tone ur thigh muscles.
• High reps low weight. Cardio, diet, n u should see results. If not- TRY HARDER!
• Whether 2 lose weight or gain muscle-get good sleep!
• Days when u just can’t get yourself to workout, you are free not to. BUT GET URSELF TO THE GYM FIRST and decide THERE!!
• Run / walk (flat n incline) 1min each alternating, totally for max 15mins is good enough! My target-700cals per w/o (cardio+ weights)
• Don’t forget legs- large muscle- promotes testosterone which helps increase overall muscle mass. RUN/walk when u can for cardio!
• My fav supplements-vit C, multivitamin, antioxidant, L-glutamine, omega 3 (never 6), creatine (only to bulk 4 short periods)
• Consistency is paramount! Keep changing your w/o everyday. Do something different, anything! Every time u get tired, do one more last set
• Don’t forget to stretch/warm up! Don’t lift too heavy. Min 8 reps per set. Keep w/o’s short n intense 45min max…

Hrithik states that ‘Body doesn’t grow in the GYM, it grows while you rest! He also adds that one need not splurge on protein supplements, since they are great if they are used in the right amount. Well, this Greek God personified also makes it a point to advice the ‘grass root level basic mantra’ of all times: Water! He validates this advice stating that it is water which is probably the only alkaline food in our diet!
