Magazine in race row after 'whitening' Aishwarya's skin

Fashion magazine Elle is being accused of stirring up a race row following alleged digital lightening of Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai's skin for the glamourous cover page.

The 37-year-old, who achieved global popularity after winning the Miss World crown in 1994 and following it up with films like "Bride & ­Prejudice" and "The Pink Panther 2", appears on the cover of this month's Indian edition of the magazine.

Though Aishwarya looks picture perfect in a flowing gown and a stunning hairdo, readers started reacting with fury after it was suggested that the fashion magazine might have used digital technology to enhance her complexion, reports dailymail.co.uk. Inside the magazine, she is pictured in a series of shots with light skin.

However, fans have been posting angry comments online about the latest cover.

One comment read: "It's ­annoying because it seems like lighter skin is always in fashion as if darker skin is ­something to be frowned upon."

Why SRK wants Priyanka out of 2 States?

Chetan Bhagat’s novel ‘2 States’, which is going to make a big screen entry in Bollywood, has now got new hero, new director and may be a fresh heroine too! Initially, when Sajid Nadiadwala was the only producer for the film, Siddharth Anand was supposed to direct the movie with Priyanka Chopra and Saif Ali Khan in the lead roles.

Later Saif opted out of the project and Shah Rukh entered the scene with the dual role of a lead hero as well as of a co- producer.

Now, the film will be directed by Vishal Bharadwaj of Kaminey fame. When Vishal got the project, he fled to Berlin, where SRK and Priyanka was shooting for Don 2. Both of them were impressed with Vishal’s narration and agreed to be a part of the project.

However, things changed when SRK returned home in Mumbai. He went to meet Vishal and said that Priyanka will not be suitable for the role as the story demands a fresh face. The director also agreed and thus Priyanka was out of the film.

Most people who saw Bigg Boss on Saturday night could sense how uncomfortable Katrina Kaif appeared in the presence of ex -beau Salman Khan. Though she kept up appearances, despite his constant jibes at her.

The actress, who has made several television appearances to promote her film Tees Maar Khan, looked nervous and awkward. Obviously, it was not without reason.

He made digs at her about working with Ranbir Kapoor, her favourite co-star Akshay Kumar and even her ability (or rather inability?) to speak Hindi.

Deepika and Imran give 5 ways to break up with your lover



Deepika Padukone's 5 ways to be friends with your Ex and...

Deepika Padukone's character in Break Ke Baad is of a girl who breaks up with a guy and then patches up with him. Off screen, the actress has gone through a break-up with Ranbir Kapoor and believes ex-boyfriends can still be friends. Here are her top five tips on how to get back with your ex.

1 I think the girl should gift her ex a diamond solitaire. Nothing says 'I am serious' like a diamond ring. They say diamonds are a girl's best friends, but the same holds true for a guy. I am sure that will win him over.

2 Do something nice for the ex. Like plan a trip for your ex and send him to Russia with his buddies. It's every guy's dream destination what with all the booze and the babes. Would be a nice way of telling him to have one last fling then 'come back and get serious with me'.

3 This one is edgy. Tell your guy that he reminds you of your father. A dad stands for someone who loves you, protects you and takes care of you. That ought to flatter him and woo him over.
