Actress Gauahar Khan has chosen her mother's birthday on Thursday to launch her clothing line.

Gauahar, who credits her mother for her sense of style, said the plan was always to launch the collection on an appropriate day.

She said in a statement: "What better day it could be than my mom's birthday as she has been my ultimate fashionista since my childhood. As a kid, I used to always admire the way our mom dressed us up.

"Even though we had a humble living but my mom would make sure that she would not make her kids step out of the house without socks and shoes and also clips in my hair.

"My sense of style comes a lot from my mother and the way she kept us. Her saris would mesmerise everybody around her and I used to always take pride in the way my mom carried her personality in any outfit she wore be it nightwear or saris."

Indian film industry mourns Stephen Hawking’s demise

Actors, filmmakers and music experts from the Indian film industry mourned the death of British physicist Stephen Hawking, whose contribution to science and humanity they will remember for a lifetime.

Hawking, who shaped modern cosmology and inspired millions despite suffering from a life-threatening condition, died in London on Wednesday. He was 76.

Here's what film celebrities from India tweeted:

Vishal Dadlani: Oh wow. This hurts. It really hurts. What a guy, what a story, what a life, what a humongous contribution to humanity, to our knowledge and understanding of the universe. Stephen Hawking, thank you for sharing your genius with us all.

Preity Zinta: Time waits for no one. Not even for Stephen Hawking. R.I.P. to one of the most iconic scientist of our time. Thank you for your contribution to our world.

Dia Mirza: RIP Stephen Hawking. Thank you for your braveheart, your curiosity, your humour, your genius. "It would not be much of a universe if it wasn't home to the people you love."

Resul Pookutty: "Remember to look up at the stars not down at your feet"! A sad day for all of us. Stephen Hawking is no more! The man who overcame everything and told us the Theory Of Everything.

Satyajeet Dubey: Stephen Hawking: "No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization. There is probably no heaven and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe-and for that I am extremely grateful." RIP

Farhan Akhtar: RIP Stephen Hawking. A major loss to the scientific community and to the millions he inspired through his work and life. Condolences to the family.

Sujoy Ghosh: Goodbye Stephen Hawking. Science must be very sad today.

Nivin Pauly: Redefining what science means and smiling his way through life. The wheelchair was just an excuse to carry the burden that his brains put to this world. "Life would be tragic if it weren't funny."

Manoj Bajpayee: Your life will always be celebrated for the huge contribution you made to the humanity. You will be missed.

Adnan Sami: Rest in peace dear Stephen Hawking. Thank you for enlightening us during your 'brief' journey on earth. We will always adore you here immensely.

Sudhanshu Vats: Thank you Stephen Hawking for making science fun and overcoming adversities, possible. You were, are and will be the brightest star and the biggest inspiration of the modern era. May you rest in peace.

Film industry shocked over Narendra Jha’s sudden death

Actor Narendra Jha's sudden demise on Wednesday has left the film industry in shock as his friends and colleagues said he was hale and hearty and was geared up to feature in a slew of new projects.

Director Awani Agrawal said he was healthy while shooting for his film DE IJAAZAT RAHUN TUJHNME in Gujarat earlier this month.

"He was shooting for my film, which is tentatively titled DE IJAAZAT RAHUN TUJHNME, in Vadodara. He was accompanied by his wife to the location. They left on March 8. He didn't have any health issue.

"I can't tell you much about his role in the film, but as an actor he was very co-operative and supportive. He was a beautiful person," Agrawal told IANS.

Narendra, who featured in films like HAIDER and RAEES, died early on Wednesday due to a heart attack. He was 55.

He was at his farmhouse in Nanegaon, Maharashtra, when he complained of chest pain, the actor's driver told IANS.

Narendra's DE IJAAZAT… co-star Mohit Madaan was also shocked to hear about his death.

"I will always remember our final conversation on the night before he left for home where he found me lost in my own world sitting in the lawn. He sat with me on the grass and we ate dinner together from one plate.

"There was an instant attachment and he motivated me to continue as an actor," he said.

Other members of the film fraternity took to Twitter to express their grief. Here's what some of them said:

Sanjay Gupta: I refuse to accept it. Life cannot be so damn unpredictable. I just met a hale and hearty Narendra Jha at the park last week. And now I'm hearing he passed away this morning. Such a splendid actor and a marvellous human being. Rest in peace my friend. May God bless your soul.

Hansal Mehta: What a shocker! Narendra Jha? This profession is truly a killer.

Neetu Chandra: We lose yet another fabulous actor. Rest in peace Narendra Jha. God bless his soul. My prayers. I have no words.

Rohit Roy: I cannot believe this! Narendra Jha passed away?! What the hell is going on? Sad, very, very sad. Shot an entire TV show and a film with him and always thought he was one of the sweetest, most respectful and soft spoken actors around.

Tisca Chopra: Totally shocked to hear of the passing of Narendra Jha… my co-star in 'Ghayal Once Again'. A fine person, fine actor. RIP dear friend.

Ekta Kapoor: From 'Captain House' to 'Itihaas' he was one of the first actors I worked with. RIP Narendra Jha.

Milap Zaveri: RIP Narendra Jha sir. Really wish I had gotten the opportunity to work with you. Guess life had other plans. He was gonna shoot with me in the first week of April. Still can't believe it.

Manoj Bajpayee: Unbelievable. Tragic. Don't know what's happening. Rest in peace Narendra Jha.

BAA BAAA BLACK SHEEP director’s masterclass with Anupam Kher

0

Debutant director Vishwas Paandya says it was like a masterclass to watch veteran actor Anupam Kher's transformation for his film BAA BAAA BLACK SHEEP.

"I had the option of playing two characters in one. On one side, there is this henpecked father, whose son later finds out that he is actually a contract killer," Anupam said in a statement.

"I thought visually both should look different and I saw the possibility of losing weight for this film. I have never lost weight before and I lost 15 kg. It worked out really well," he added.

For Paandya, it was no less than a "masterclass, especially for a first-time director like me… watching Anupamji transform his body language and his voice with such ease".

"He is in complete control of his craft," added the director.

The movie will release on March 23.
