RANVEER SINGH IS CNN-NEWS18’S ‘INDIAN OF THE YEAR’ 2016

ranveer jun 2016

Ranveer Singh is on a roll, having had a gold run at the cinemas all through last year and this year, the accolades are still coming in for Bollywood’s very own Bajirao. The year saw Ranveer play vastly different characters with equal passion and ease. On one end, the star sunk his teeth into his well-etched role of the Maratha warrior, Peshwa Bajirao in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Magnum Opus Bajirao Mastani and on the other he was playing a  natural, distinctly subdued and highly nuanced character like that of Kabir in Dil Dhadakne Do and it was a unanimously acclaimed, stand-out performance amongst heavy weight actors in the same ensemble cast While both the characters lay at different ends of the spectrum, Ranveer’s stupendous performances in both the films won hearts unanimously. After winning all prestigious film awards in 2015, he has now been conferred with the ‘Indian of The Year – Special Achievement Award’ by CNN-NEWS18.

 

Unfortunately, as Ranveer is shooting for his current film Befikre in Paris he was unable to collect the award himself and asked his father Jugjeet Singh Bhavnani to represent him at the event to collect the award on his behalf. Ranveer’s dad was very proud to receive this honour in his son’s stead and see his son included amongst the many other stalwarts who have been the previous winners of this prestigious award, including A R Rahman, Aamir Khan, Rajkumar Hirani, and Amitabh Bachchan.

Speaking about her character, Mona Singh, who essays the role of Paridhi said, “Paridhi is a modern women who is well educated, is an archaeologist by profession and doesn’t believe in supernatural occurrences. But, she is willing to go to any length to protect her husband from the clutches of evil.  She will get possessed by Manjulika’s spirit, but even this will not deter her from her goals. Paridhi considers love supreme and will chart her course to her destiny with that one goal in mind.” Commenting on Rajbir’s character, actor Vivek Dahiya said, “As a story of love and obsession, Kawach will take viewers on a spine-tingling ride. Rajbir doesn’t believe in supernatural powers, but is a strong believer in the power of love and uses it to fight evil spirits when his wife Paridhi is possessed by Manjulika’s soul. His misfortune and failure at protecting his wife causes him to take many decisions that shape their future and existence. But how Rajbir and Paridhi’s love fights through all odds forms the crux of this story.” Upon being casted in her first ever fiction role as Manjulika, Maheck Chahal said,“Manjulika is a dark and sexy seductress. She tries to win Rajbir’s heart but fails. Her return from the dead is a mark of power and passion, and she will do all it takes – including inhabiting Paridhi’s untainted and loving soul – to own the man who she believes is rightfully hers.”

Aditi Rao Hydari today launched the latest issue of GRAZIA at Pepe Store in Bandra, unveiling her ‘badass’ side on the cover of the magazine’s latest issue which hits stands this June. Known for her sweet girl next door image, the actress surprises everyone with her bold avataar in the upcoming issue. Providing a mix of fashion trends and industry gossip, the issue reveals her never-seen-before side and some really quirky things she has done in the past, including once traveling abroad without a visa.

Speaking on the launch, Mehernaaz Dhondy, Editor, Grazia said, “We wanted to work around the concept of ‘girl next door meets glamour’. It’s a theme that is fun and glitzy, yet very real and believable. Our June 2016 issue is an easy-on-the pocket guide to high street fashion that lays out all the choices for you – from ripped jeans and mesh separates to blue shirts and skinny bling. Our pretty and hugely talented cover girl, Aditi Rao Hydari, channels this ’90s vibe in the pages of Grazia this month. Her nonchalant and stark personality is a perfect amalgamation of serenity and enchantment.”

GRAZIA cover girl Aditi Rao Hydari on her new avataar said, “There was definitely a time when I was constantly being propelled by people around me to shed this sweet girl image and be sexier, bolder. I would get caught in the knots trying to be everyone’s idea of me till I realized, it has to stop.”
