Marc Robinson is currently a Fashion Director and also doubles up as a judge on many a beauty pageant. He has always been one of the best Indian models ever with looks and personality that compliments his lifestyle. He even tried his hand at acting… but didn’t pursue it. He did star in a film titled BADA DIN that released way back in 1998. But he doesn’t seem to be too interested in treading that path… He says that he relates more to the fashion world with shows, music, the trends than to the 70mm. He is all over 40, married and with 3 kids. Marc Robinson's first daughter who is 6 years old is called CHANEL and his boy who is 4 years old is called BOOKLYN. He also has a 10 month old daughter SIENNA. He is married to model WALUSCHA D’SOUZA. They have been married for 7 years and the cupid first struck when he was the judge for Femina Miss India, 2000. Marc Robinson with wife Waluscha, son Brooklyn and daughter Chanel at the Madagascar 2 premiere at Fame Adlabs recently (Decembe...
Bhushan Kumar with wife Divya Khosla Kumar and Sister Tulsi IT'S been difficult to pin Bhushan Kumar down. One week he's holidaying in London, then soon after he's back, he's under an avalanche of work. You have to take his word for it when he says that Sunday works best to meet the T-Series managing director with his family. But things turn a little wonky the Saturday before the final meet. "He has to meet Shah Rukh Khan in the afternoon, so could you come by for dinner?" asks his office. Anxious moments. Shah Rukh's always running late, will Bhushan as well? But when you're respectfully ushered up via a private lift straight into his home at the plush Oberoi Sky Garden in Lokhandwala complex (Bhushan owns the top-most three floors), the man is in, wrapping up another interview. You're mildly surprised, as you pad across the wooden floors barefoot. Does Bhushan reserve meeting journalists on Sundays? Yet the atmosphere is decidedly relaxed and he...
Fashion designer Ritu Kumar's son Amrish has called his just launched record label, Mummy Daddy Records. He's only 31, but the impatience in his voice as he races through his thoughts, says he's in a hurry. In a rush to pack in as much as he can in a day, week, month, possibly a life. Amrish Kumar can't ignore that his mother, Ritu Kumar, is one of India's veteran fashion designers, credited with having incorporated indigenous crafts into mainstream fashion. And so, mornings are reserved for creating new design and business ideas for her prêt label, while evenings are set aside for a passion — music. He wants to bridge the gap Amrish can't quite remember when he caught the now-raging fascination for music. But the launch of Mummy Daddy Records in June this year, makes for an unforgettable achievement. "For the last 10 years, our music industry has been in the doldrums. In India, Bollywood/pop commands attention, and Indian classical music to some degree. Th...

Naseerudin Shah's son Imaad Shah will be seen next in 'Little Zizou' IMAAD SHAH hasn’t had a release this year after his debut with 'Dil, Dosti Etc' in 2007. Imaad’s one of the few non-Parsis in the cast of the forthcoming Little Zizou, a film on the Parsi community scheduled for a January release. “I’m the only non-Parsi among the primary characters in the film. I play the son of a Parsi religious fanatic,” says Imaad. How did he imbibe the idiosyncrasies of the community? “It needed a basic amount of observation. The old-timers from the community are caught in a time warp. But the newer generation is a lot more cosmopolitan. I’ve lots of Parsi friends as my mom grew up in Dadar Parsi Colony,” reveals Imaad. The 22-year-old, who finished his graduation last year after “losing a couple of years”, plays a graphic novelist in the film. “He has a wacked out, sharp, irreverent imagination that comes to life. There are lots of bizarre layers to the character. I love grap...

Anmol Malik, who is the daughter of one of the leading music directors of Bollywood, Anu Malik, is going to make her debut in Satish Kaushik’s Tere Sang. Some of you might remember her as the voice of the song ‘agle janam mohe bitiya na keejo‘, from the flop movie Umrao Jaan, in which Anu Malik himself had given the music for this period epic, while Javed Akhtar’s beautiful poetry mesmerised everyone. As a 15-year old Anmol had recorded this song for J P Dutta's Umrao Jaan. The song was recorded at Krishna Studio, and was picturised on the young Aishwarya Rai in the movie. Richa Sharma sang the same song which was picturised on the adult Aishwarya Rai. Dutta had heard her, humming a song and had decided that he wanted her to sing for his film. Earlier, the young singer had sung a few lines in films like adal and Biwi No. 1. Music is certainly in her genes! Satish Kaushik’s Tere Sang will mark the acting debut of newcomer Sheena (Actress Sadhana Singh of Nadiya Ke Paar fame and prod...
