    Netflix’s latest offering, Pagglait, starring Sanya Malhotra in the lead role is winning major accolades everywhere. The movie tells a very simple tale of a young widow, who tries to come to terms with the reality of her husband’s death and decides to take her life in her own hands. The background characters do a wonderful job of serving as catalysts for change and represent the typical ‘rishtedaar’ in a big Indian family. If you enjoyed the movie and want to watch something else with a similar vibe, then check these out:

    1. QueenThis one has a strong resemblance with the tone of how the storyline of Pagglait steers forward. A woman breaking stereotypes, fighting taboos of the family that surrounds her and leaving for her own honeymoon after the husband-to-be is a no show at a wedding. Queen opened doors for small budget movies to tell strong tales with brilliantly written characters.

    2. Badhai HoAnother movie which tackles a very unique subject of how the family and the society perceive a pregnant couple who already has a grown up son. The son himself finds it difficult to come to terms with his parents expecting a baby and his relationship with his partner is exposed to a lot of emotions.

    3. Door Ke DarshanThis was one of the best watched and underrated movies that was released in 2020. The story revolves around a mad, loud, quintessential Punjabi family. The story follows the matriarch of the family who wakes up from a coma after 30 years and the family tries to bring her to terms with the ‘new’ reality.

    4. Chupke ChupkeOne of the best classics of the golden times, if you are a 90’s kid like me, chances are that you have watched this movie numerous times with your parents while growing up. The protagonist, Dr. Parimal Tripathi (Dharmendra), takes upon a challenge of fooling his wife’s ‘jija ji’ and shows up as a driver in his house. This is a dysfunctional comedy because no one in their right mind will make their husband a driver in the family and then try to ‘fake’ an affair with him. Nevertheless, great comic timing by everyone.

    5. Do Dooni ChaarThis one stars Neetu Singh and Rishi Kapoor in the lead as middle-class parents who are trying very hard to fulfil the wishes of their children and enjoy the little joys of life. Things get crazy when the family is overwhelmed with materialism and vow to buy a brand new car. If you are from Delhi, then the scenes with a complaining ‘bua ji’, judgemental neighbours and random aunties drying clothes in balconies will bring back childhood memories.

    Kunal Kemmu had a promising start in Bollywood when he did his first movie Kalyug. 

    His acting skills were hailed as on-point for a debutant and we can safely say that he has only progressed in the acting arena since then. 
    Kunal is also a sneakerhead and this sometimes goes under the radar, but not for us. 
    Every time he makes an appearance, we never fail to pay heed to his sneakers. He has worn some dapper pairs in the past, some of which include his Dragon Ball sneakers and some super colourful sneakers.

    Before we move on to the sneakers, let's talk about his outfit. 

    Kunal can be seen in a subtle salmon pink T-shirt. To keep the look easy-going, he paired it with black shorts by Puma. 
    You just can't miss his backpack, which is made in the same colour palette as his sneakers. It seems to be a super cool addition here. 
    Then, there's his black mask with an all-over leaf print on it.

    The eccentric colourways uplift the aesthetics of the pair and while it is easy to presume that the pair may be costly, turns out, you can snag this one for as little as Rs 4,994 right now. 

    The sneakers with their exaggerated appeal, seem to be your best bet for gym hours as well.

    Vijay Deverakonda made his debut in 2011. Since then, the Telugu actor has grown exponentially from a star in a regional film industry to one of the most popular actors in Indian cinema.

    One big contributing factor for this has to be his sense of style, particularly the way he styles his beard and hair. His sense of style has made him a genuine style icon, across language barriers.

    Consider this simple fact - Vijay hasn’t worked in any Hindi film as of writing this article, and yet his popularity among the Hindi-film audience is immense.
    © Instagram/thedeverakonda
    We pick 7 films by Vijay Deverakonda where his beard & hairstyle were on a different level.

    Vijay had a very normie look for this movie, your regular, guy-next-door vibes. We love how he has styled his messy stubble with an equally messy, long-ish hair in this movie. It actually suits his wavy hair a lot, and helps it stand-out.

    NOTA © Studio Green
    In NOTA, we see one of Vijay’s most meticulously groomed avatar. The hair is combed to the T, with a very neat parting, and yet it looks just as stylish. We like how he has styled his hair in such a way that makes his widow’s peak less prominent. Plus, his short-boxed beard here is just awesome.

    As Rishi, Vijay’s get up was again very normie, very boy-next-doorish. We like how his hair looked well styled, and chaotic, both at the same time. This is also where we get to see very slight glimpses, of what his beard would eventually look like in Arjun Reddy, even though, that role wasn’t even finalised.

    Mahanati © Swapna Cinema
    Ever wondered what Arjun Reddy would have looked like if he took care of his hair and styled it properly? Vijay’s portrayal of Vijay Anthony in Mahanati is the answer. He kept his hair long for this film, which drooped towards the side of his face. Plus that neat stubble looked epic on him.

    We get to see Vijay in a number of different looks in this film, because of the numerous jumps in time in story. The most common look of his is this one, where he sports longish, wavy hair, and a finely styled stubble, and a very subtly styled moustache.

    In Taxiwaala Vijay has experimented with his hair in a very subtle manner. He added some colour, and styled his hair in a very aggressive and messy pompadour. His hair at times also looked like it had flared up. Again, we see his signature thick stubble, although this time it was a bit messy and a little vaguely defined, which looked just perfect.

    Finally, we have that one film that made him a household name. Vijay was something else altogether in this film. The thick messy and scraggly beard, the unkempt longish hair - there was an order to all this chaos. We can only imagine the effort that must have been put in to grow a beard that was as cool as that.

    The Bottomline…Vijay Deverakonda may not go bonkers with his beard and hairstyles for his films, but he does experiment. Most of the times they work out rather well, both for him as well as his characters. This just goes on to show that why, for his ardent fans, he is a legit style god.

    Bollywood may be best known for its glamorous casts, glittery nights, big box office openings but its love for fair skin is so deep that even Beyoncé couldn’t escape it. Last year, Khaali Peeli's song Beyoncé Sharma Jayegi was the final nail in the coffin that made people think how Bollywood is obsessed with the fair skin tone. The whole obsession with being ‘gora’ is deep-rooted in our caste and societal system but Bollywood hasn’t done much to improve it.
    It was a hypocritical movie by the Bollywood celebs who stood for #BlackLivesMatter when an incident occurred in the west but they have been turning a blind eye to what’s happening in their own industry. We have heard tales of women in Bollywood who have faced rejection because of their dark complexion but men in the industry weren’t spared either.
    These five men were initially mocked for their complexion but they gave it back by becoming superstars.
    1. Rajkummar Rao View this post on Instagram
    Rajkummar Rao didn’t turn into a star overnight and had his own fair share of struggles. In an interview with DNA back in 2017, he revealed how a director had rejected him because he wasn’t fair and muscular enough to play the part. He'd said, “When I was looking for work in Mumbai around seven years back, I used to look different from what I look today. I did an audition for a director who was making his debut film (I won’t name who he is). He really liked my test but told me, ‘Acting is fine, but I can’t give you a lead part because leading heroes are supposed to be fair and muscular. But do you want to play a small character in my film?’ I didn’t do his film because I couldn’t agree with his theory of filmmaking.” Now, he is surely one of the most bankable stars of Bollywood, who always leaves people impressed with his acting.
    2. Ranveer Singh View this post on Instagram
    Ranveer Singh might have given mega hits like Padmaavat and Gully Boy but he too once was mocked for his looks. He was told that he wasn’t conventionally good-looking and fair to pursue the field of acting. In a report in DNA, Ranveer Singh was quoted saying “Initially, I faced rejection based on how I looked and not so much because of my ability. I was told that I wasn’t very good-looking or conventional. Maybe I wasn’t fair or tall enough.”
    3. Manoj Bajpayee View this post on Instagram
    If you are someone who has followed Manoj Bajpayee, you cannot possibly forget the strong performance he gave in the critically acclaimed 2001 film Zubeidaa. Despite giving the best of performance, he was mocked for his complexion and had to deal with colourism. He once said, “Despite the rave reviews I got for my performance in the film Zubeidaa, a critic said that I don’t look like a prince. That really hurt me.” 20 years later, Bajpayee has surely given it back to the haters who mocked him.
    4. Nawazuddin Siddiqui   View this post on Instagram
    Nawazuddin Siddiqui may have established himself as one of the finest actors in Bollywood, but he too had faced rejections because of his complexion. In an interview, casting director Sanjay Chouhan had said, “Keeping Nawaz in mind, all other characters were taken on board. We can’t cast fair and handsome people with Nawaz. It would look so weird.” Reacting to this comment, Nawazuddin tweeted, “Thank U 4 making me realize that I cannot b paired along wid d fair & handsome bcz I m dark & not good looking, but I never focus on that (sic).”

    Adil Hussain has also been subjected to such bias and he too gave it back to his haters by establishing a firm footing as an actor in the industry that’s clouded by such biases. In an interview with HT, he had said that the change is happening but it’s painfully slow. “I think such biases can be best addressed by art. Cinema is being an art form that can influence mindset. So, we must become the moral compass of the society and help evolve for the better over these biases against fair, dark, LGBTQ, dwarfs, etc. We sometimes crack jokes on such issues because we’ve normalized them. We need to create enough awareness and representation on the screen,” he said.

    Punjabi music is the life of every party, gathering, or wedding. Even if you’re not a Punjabi, their music will definitely make you happy and groove. Almost all famous party anthems are Punjabi songs that might have weird lyrics but next-level beats.

    Also, sometimes the lyrics are really good and we love the song but we just don’t get it due to a lack of understanding of the language. 
    So, here is a list of the latest Punjabi songs that are on every playlist even if you don’t understand the lyrics. 
    So, here you go- 
    Mexico Koka –Karan Aujla 
    This song is another party song that has made to everyone’s playlist and also to every car-o-bar scene. Now, we might not get the fast-paced lyrics but the beats will definitely get you in party mode. The song is sung by Karan Aujla and this isn’t the first song that made it to our favorites and is sung by him.
    Titliyaan Warga- Harrdy Sandhu 
    The first part of the song created a lot of buzz and was played at every party and event. And the second part by Harrdy Sandhu and Jaani has also gotten equally popular as the first part. Also, we have been listening to this song on loop.

    Guilty- Karan Aujla 
    Here's another Karan Aujla song that made it to our playlist. The song deserves acknowledgement as the trippy lyrics make us want to listen to this song on loop.

    Jingle Bell – Yo Yo Honey Singh 
    Now, this song does have catchy lyrics and beats. Even though most of the lines don’t make any sense but this has also become the go-to song for every gathering. Also, this song got famous, all thanks to Instagram reels. 
    Saiyaan- Jass Manak
    This is another Jass Manak song with average lyrics but got popular recently and now it is on our playlist. 
    What do you think of these songs? Let us know in the comments section below!

    As we grow older, one of the skin problems that we often face is the issue of open skin pores. A guide on how to shrink pores is usually one of the most-searched topics on the internet. Men often want to know where pores stem from and how they get clogged so easily.

    There are two different types of pores on the body, these include:

    1. Sebaceous pores secrete sebum on the skin's surface. They’re spread all over the body, except on the soles of the feet and the palms of the hands. They're similar to hair follicles but don’t have visible hair poking out.
    2. Sweat pores are also all over the body for sweat secretion.
    When we talk about pores, we usually refer to the sebaceous kind. The major function of the pores is to give a tunnel for sebum to get to the skin's surface. Sebum is good for your skin, it locks in the moisture and lubricates the skin. Sebum fights off dryness, dullness, discolouration, rough texture. If your pores are larger in size, scrubbing them can prove to be counterintuitive.

    Why Few Pores Are Visibly Larger Than Others

    The size of pores varies across skin types and across different skin surfaces. However, it can be correlated with the size of the attached sebaceous gland. Pore size and density are usually directly proportionate to the size and amount of sebum secreted.
    Can We Shrink Our Pores?
    Unfortunately, we can't shrink our pores but we can reduce their size visibly. Here's how that can be possible:

    1. Opening Blocked PoresPores are usually clogged with excess oil, dirt, and grime which increase their size and can turn them into open and closed comedones otherwise known as blackheads and whiteheads. A great way to reduce the size of your pores is to keep the skin clean; we're talking about washing your face every day before hitting the bed.
    2. Use Exfoliators With Alpha And Beta Hydroxy AcidAlpha hydroxy acids or AHAs and beta hydroxy acid, also known as BHAs, are the best exfoliators for the skin. They get rid of the dead skin cells on the skin's  surface. They have minute differences like the fact that BHAs are oil-soluble, so they can work both on the surface and skin-deep. On the other hand, AHAs are water-soluble and work solely on the top layer of the skin.

    3. Include Retinols In Your Skincare RoutineRetinoids help increase epidermis (the top layer of skin) cell turnover, so the skin cells don’t cling together to make your pores clogged.

    4. Products To AvoidAvoid thick moisturising creams that are not meant for the face. When looking for a face cream, look for terms like 'non-comedogenic which translates to a product that is formulated in a way to prevent pore blockage on the packaging. Sunscreens often have this problem. This perhaps is the reason why it's better to have a separate sunscreen for the face and one for the rest of the body.
