| Burying the hatchet? |
| Saturday, December 09, 2006 |
 | | Rohit (l), and Rahul with Miss Afghanistan Vida Samudzai |
The talking point is, the appearance of Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna at a Sunday brunch hosted by Ravi Krishnan at Tetsuma. The veteran Delhi designers had flown in earlier for their showing at Ogaan, and stayed back for the party. We find this interesting because the designer-duo have been the most visible and vocal ambassadors of FDCI, Delhi. And before Lakme had parted ways with FDCI, it was IMG, led by Ravi Krishnan, which had a now-infamous fallout with the fashion body. While some FDCI affiliated designers have earlier dropped by at the Lakme-IMG dos, Rahul-Rohit's appearance sure set tongues wagging. Especially, as the duo shared the space with all the Lakme-IMG designers including Narendra Kumar. We were no less surprised when Ravi Krishnan had this to say: "They had invited us to their collection launch on Saturday. When we heard they were in town, we invited them to brunch. We have known them both for many years and wanted them to join our anniversary celebration." We are not drawing any conclusions yet, but from the looks of it, some people seem ready to bury the hatchet after all.
| let’s talk about...
Asaf Ali. Ladies, if you still don’t know who the “eye-candy” currently the toast of the town is, feast your eyes on his gorgeous Kashmiri. Hosted by Maithili Ahluwalia, this textile expert has been working with Jenny Housego. Remember the 1994 kidnappings by Kashmiri militants? Jenny Housego’s (husband David Housego was a journalist with Financial Times) teenage son Kim was among those abducted, and after much drama, released. Jenny’s love for Kashmir and its crafts brought her back to the valley and since then the celebrated textile historian has also emerged as an exporter of traditional Kashmiri textiles and weaves to Europe. Asaf, on his maiden Mumbai visit, is already flooring women with his delectable accent and a collection of exquisite pashminas. Incidentally, Ali and Housego have been selling with Hermes and Browns, besides dressing up the likes of Cherie Blair. Now, that's an impressive list. |
 | | The Jethmalanis |
heard this?
Oh the laughter, the delirious full-throated laughter! Ever since Haseena Jethmalani made an appearance at the Fendi do, tonsured, her phone hasn't stopped ringing. "You won't believe the number of calls I have been getting," she laughed again. "I had done a mannat for very personal reasons," she explained at length. "I am a huge devotee of Tirupati Balaji, and had pledged to have my head shaved, which I did at Kalba Devi." Friends and family, says Haseena, were "surprised initially, but they got used to it. Everyone's been more than kind, rather polite," she adds. The wish that was granted, was important enough for Haseena to give up her "crowning glory." "Trust me, it takes nerves of steel." We agree. Incidentally, Haseena recently delivered twins. |
 | | From (l to r): Vicky Chopra, Sangeeth Sivan and Sohail |
seen this?
What you see in the picture is a moment from a get-together at Galaxy Apartments, the Khan-abode. Seen with Sohail Khan are Vicky Chopra (who directed Fight Club) and Sangeeth Sivan among others. Who you don't see is Salman Khan, who was enjoying his drink, al fresco, until he figured our photographer was on the lookout for a photo op. And Arbaaz Khan as well. Is this the shape of the next Khan flick to come? Only they know the answer. | |
