Mehr Jessia to host fashion shows for IPL 3

Bollywood star Arjun Rampal and his model wife Mehr Jessia are on the seventh heaven for their company has got a plum contract to organise fifty five amazing fashion shows and parties for the upcoming IPL season three.

Both Arjun and Mehr are excited about their new venture concerning the IPL, which begins today. Their company will be handling fashion shows and lavish parties after every match. With Bollywood celebrities adding extra zing, the fashion shows will be high on glitz and glamour.

Interestingly, Mehr Jessia and IPL Chairman Lalit Modi were behind the idea of holding fashion event and ritzy parties. Talking to a news daily, an elated Mehr says, “There will be 55 fashion shows and 55 parties in all.”

When enquired about the post IPL match parties, Mehr said, “You don’t have to drink to be at a party. Besides, it would just bring all the cricketers under one roof. When we saw some of the matches in the first season, we had observed that the cricketers wanted to be together every evening. So what can be a better idea than this?”

“Another interesting aspect is that every team will have a specific ambience. The host of the party will be the team in whose city the match is played. Like if KKR is playing Mumbai Indians in Mumbai, then Mumbai Indians will be the hosts.”

Though the one-time fashion icon was reluctant to disclose the names of the top models participating in the event, Mehr said, “We will have all the top fashion designers - Shantanu & Nikhil, Manish Malhotra, Rocky S, Anamika Khanna, to name just a few.”

Finally, when enquired whether Arjun and Mehr will make it to every event, “That won’t be possible because at times there are two matches on a given day. There is no commitment on that. But we promise everybody a gala time,” added Mehr.

Arjun Rampal in MW November issue

“Arjun Rampal – The story of an actor’s reinvention”- screams the headlines from the latest issue of MW. If the headline was not catchy enough, trust Arjun to do the rest.

For all those who loved to hate and hated to love the on-screen Arjun 'Mukesh Mehra' Rampal in the blockbuster Om Shanti Om, and thought that this role must have been a cake-walk for the dude, then, here's the real story. It happened on a New Year's Eve, SRK and Farah dragged him into a bathroom and told him about his 'characterless' role in OSO. When Arjun was very skeptical about doing a negative role thinking of the impact it will have on his kids, the omnipresent SRK simply told him "Do this one film for yourself. You'll do plenty for your kids!" Can SRK ever go wrong?

Even the way Arjun bagged his role in Don is quite interesting in itself. Farhan says, "I'd earlier wanted him for a role in Lakshya, but he'd been busy. I'd seen him with his kids on holiday and thought he could draw on that for the character". Though Arjun's was ready to play Pran's role in the new Don "as long as you don't put me in spandex and make me walk the tightrope". Well, the rest...as they say is history.

Each and every film of Arjun's is surely a milestone in itself. This also includes the 'cult-and-still-cultivating' landmark film Rock On. Arjun cannot express his joy in words as he says, "One of my most cherished moments after Rock On was when Amitji (the Big B) came and hugged me at the premiere of The Last Lear." All that we would like to ask Arjun is that Amitji hugging you is alright, because both of you are stars! But what about your zillions and counting fans out there, who are hoping to get a 'jaadu ki jhappi' from their Rockstar of Bollywood, Arjun Rampal.

First issue of GQ brings Saif- Yuvraj n Arjun on cover

The much awaited news has just hit the news stands. We are indeed talking about GQ, the world's leading men's magazine and their super-mega Indian launch, which has got none other than the Nawab Pataudi Jr. aka Saif Ali Khan himself for starters. Even though he looks his usual element on the cover along with a hot PYT chic, we would have definitely preferred him with his trademark glares.

Nevertheless, this issue has Saif confessing that "Married men who are inaccessible are definitely hotter for women... In most of my relationships, I've been unfaithful, and I don't want to do that anymore... I've done things backwards. I've been married; I've lived with someone, now I'm dating someone." Honest confessions there by Saif.

If that was not enough, the readers can feast their eyes on the super hot and super sexy Yuvraj Singh who is a pro in both bowling maiden over as well as even the maidens over and Arjun Rampal, to say the least.

The magazine also has Karan Johar as the contributing editor.
