Zeenat loves Yana Gupta's 'Laila O laila'

Zeenat loves Yana Gupta`s `Laila O laila`Zeenat Aman might not be happy with the new version of her cult song "Dum maaro dum", but the veteran actress is quite satisfied with the neo-age version of "Laila o laila" and is going all out to lend her support to it.

The famous song from the 1980 film "Qurbani" has been re-arranged for the film "Chalo Dilli", which is actress Lara Dutta's first home production.

"I liked the song when I heard it. They have retained the original version and at the same time have given the song a new flavour. It's got a rustic, ethnic feel and I liked it a lot. So I'm supporting it, " Zeenat told. The new version has been picturised on Yana Gupta and the 31-year-old is extremely happy to be a part of such a cult song. Yana said, "I was extremely excited to do this song because it's fantastic. I'm just honoured to do Zeenatji's song. I think people will like it.

Yana said she was very happy that Zeenat gave her support for the song. "It's a big deal for me, " she said.

"I saw the video of the original song a couple of times and saw the style that Zeenat ji used in the song. But I didn't copy her as I thought of doing it my own way because the song is very different, " she added.

Vidya present to support Sabyasachi

Vidya present to support SabyasachiIt was a splendid tribute to contemporary and classic fashion at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) grand finale Sunday as the ramp came alive with designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee's vibrant colourful collection. Also present was his favourite muse Vidya Balan.

The ramp was transformed into a vintage set reminiscent of an old British library. Set against a backdrop of life-sized iconic fashion bibles, the all black wooden ramp was bedecked with flamboyant colourful bulbs. The finale opened with a stellar performance by famous performer Kiya from London and Vidya walking with the designer.

Mukherjee's collection was inspired by paintings of three of his favourite artists - Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Paul Gauguin.

"The collection was inspired from the 1960s and 1970s style in the international market. The silhouettes were sports meets retro-rock on a colour palate which varies from black and white with a mix of super bright colours as well. But the entire range used Indian handicrafts fabrics like textured khadi, a little bit of zardozi, beaten and burnt crystals and lace, " said Mukherjee after the show.

The collection was high on functionality with models sporting the retro-meets- contemporary look. The garments which grabbed eyeballs were modern versions of the flared 1950's skirts with sporty elastic that made them fuss free and floor-touching dresses.

Vidya, dressed up in traditional yellow sari, was seen cheering for the designer.
