|
|
Not so long ago, there was a macho man in town. He was a protector, a provider, a performer. He was tough. He had muscles. He was quick to beat up bad guys. He was, in other words, what we thought of as a 'Real Man'. Now, he’s more or less disappeared.
Why did men stop feeling like real men? And where do they go to get some of that old feeling back? Dharmendra. Vinod Khanna. Amitabh Bac...

Designer Vikram Phadnis
She's a brilliant actress. You see any film of hers and you don't come out thinking that I didn't like her in the film. Her work is consistent. Priyanka is a workaholic. For a 7'o clock shoot she's there at 6.30 in the morning!
