Actor Neetu Kapoor has opened up about how she values her privacy and has chosen to stay in her residence after her husband Rishi Kapoor passed away last year. The actor said in a new interview that she wants her children, son Ranbir Kapoor and daughter Riddhima, to settle into their own lives. “I tell them to stay in my heart, not to stand on my head,” she said.
Neetu, who will soon be making a return to the movies with Jug Jugg Jeeyo, said she enjoys her privacy. Even when Riddhima stayed with her after Rishi Kapoor died in last year’s lockdown, Neetu wanted her to return home to Delhi and be with her husband Bharat Sahni.
“I want them to be busy with their lives. I say simple dil mein raho, simple sar pe mat chadho (stay in my heart, don’t stand on my head). When Riddhima was with me for the pandemic, I was so stressed for a year because she couldn’t go back. I was so agitated. I told him to go back to Riddhima, Bharat is alone. I literally pushed her away. I like my privacy. I’m used to this way of life, ”Neetu told Filmfare in a final interview.

The 62-year-old actor recalled how difficult it was to deal with when Riddhima went to London for her studies, but she was not so affected when Ranbir left India for her studies. “I remember when Riddhima went to London to study, I would scream for days. If someone even came to meet her and say goodbye to her, I used to cry. But when years later Ranbir left, I didn’t. He told me, mom, you don’t love me. But it’s not that. It was just that I had gotten used to this life, to living away from a child. So when it happened again, I was ready. I think those times when they were abroad made me stronger and made me feel like I’m going to be alone, ”said Neetu.

After Rishi Kapoor’s death in 2020, Neetu Kapoor argued that her children, Ranbir and Riddhima helped her heal. She said earlier that the two supported her and gave her time to heal. Now she wants them “to be busy with their lives” and to stay in her heart.
“They have to get on with their lives. I’m happy when they come, but I want them to come home and settle in. I’m just saying one thing, don’t meet me everyday, but stay tuned. I don’t want them to be with me all the time, I am very independent that way. I love my life as it is, ”added the actor.
Neetu Kapoor finished filming his movie Jug Jugg Jeeyo in December 2020. Directed by Good Newwz and celebrity Raj Mehta, the film also stars Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani and Anil Kapoor in key roles.
Last summer, the incredibly bizarre Merrell Hydro Moc took a serious leap from outdoor amphibious shoes to the latest center-left darling of menswear. We wrote about it. So done theNew York Times and The Wall Street Journal. (It also wouldn’t be a stretch to call this shoe a mass-branded version of Kanye West’s Yeezy Foam Runner.) Fast forward to a summer later, and Merrell’s latest collection includes another eye-catching style. The proven outdoorsman brand isn’t a one-off marvel when it comes to coveted summer kicks.
The brand’s hiking-centric “Alpine” silhouette isn’t as stunning as the Hydro Moc, but it still won’t be mistaken for your regular sandals. It comes in three different styles – a slide sandal, strap sandal, and clog – as well as a variety of easy-to-wear shades. (Don’t sleep on that olive green colourway.) All three use the same design language: a textile and neoprene upper, an EVA foam sockliner for comfort, and a jagged rubber outsole for super-grippy traction. . Instead of putting too much vibration on the trail, it has more in common with highbrow sandals made by beloved brands like Suicoke or Visvim. (Think of the clever use of suspenders, a sturdy outsole, a minimalist and edgy silhouette.) This gives a raised look that is worth adding to any summer shoe rotation.
This type of shoe just feels right at home when paired with comfortable shorts or light, airy pants. Need a pair of kicks for your daily coffee, or just something to relax around the house? Done and done, the Merrell Alpine has you covered. It might not be as daring as the Hydro Moc, but either will be infinitely more stylish than those seedy pool slides that have been lurking deep in your closet for six months.
Salman Khan is “Eid ka chand”, at least on screen. Refreshingly secular at a time when India is plagued by growing bigotry and divisive politics, the Khan family (led by their father Salim Khan) claim to celebrate all festivals, Christmas, Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi and Holi, but Salman Khan releases his long awaited films. – no matter how excruciating their content is, they still have huge potential for commercial blockbusters – on Eid. As for Sallu fans, the festival marks the end of Ramzan and the beginning of Bhaidom. For more than a decade, perhaps since Wanted (2009), the Bigg Boss host has cornered the lucrative Eid market. The Bollywood calendar works slightly differently. Aamir Khan on Christmas, Akshay Kumar on Independence Day, Shah Rukh Khan on Diwali and so goes the Bollywood pecking order. Due to the unprecedented second wave of Covid-19, Salman’s latest Radhe will open on the OTT ZEE5 platform the ZEEPlex pay-per-view service in addition to cinemas. A real-life philanthropist, the 55-year-old star has previously pledged the film’s profit proceeds using Covid-19.
And the benefits will be abundant there. Because when Salman flexes his bulky muscles, all sorts of logic is thrown out the window, like his heroically combative Dabangg entry and featuring opponents flying around after every hit at the right time. Salman Khan is a booty and millions of viewers seem to love him. Mass call is his USP and he’s making the most of it. The action-packed shows, the user-friendly wisecracks (although Radhe’s Diya-Nadiya line is a new low even by its own standard), dance tracks, childish humor, clever camera work and most importantly, fireworks. The superhero-style artifice has come to be associated with Sallu’s formula. Much of it is typically reshaped from Southern masala artists (think a fusion of Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi, Ravi Teja… suparrrr sir!) To suit the star’s current “human being” image. But that was not always the case.
Desi Stallone
Salman is a god-level action star today, but in the 1990s it was truly Akshay Kumar-Suniel Shetty-Ajay Devgn territory. In fact, all of the Khans, including Saif Ali Khan – who has enjoyed a career renaissance in recent times – started out as loverboys, enduring themselves to 90s audiences with their daring seriousness. The melody of their music can still be heard on late night radio playlists, a throwback to the days when fresh-faced Salman played guitar on the dreamy ‘Saathiya yeh tune kya kiya’ with Revathy or the ‘Kabhi tu chhalia inspired by Raj Kapoor lagta hai’ with Raveena Tandon (God bless SP Balasubrahmanyam). Cut to: “Oh oh jaane jaana” (from Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya). Once again, Salman at his musical best, although this time around he’s shirtless to show off a chiseled physique in the making. In the years to come, the naked body reveal will become another Salman draw, a sort of Arnold-Stallone desi. Between Maine Pyar Kiya, Love (a film most remembered today for the hit parade ‘Saathiya yeh tune kya kiya’) and Patthar Ke Phool (‘Kabhi tu chhalia lagta hai’ is from this film written by Salim Khan) to late 90s hits like Judwa (two Salmans for the price of one) and Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya, a lot had changed. Between the two, he gave one of the greatest hits in Hindi, the record of Hum Aapke Hain Koun ..! and one of the most definitive comedies of its decade in Andaz Apna Apna. In both, he played Prem. The pseudonym has become synonymous with his inimitable reluctance, a product of the virtuous Barjatya school.

The Salman Khan from those early films had a shy charm about him and he maintained that note of innocence throughout the ’90s. Before taking on the role of’ Bollywood bad boy ‘he had the opposite image even if his fans tended to forgive his many misadventures and his misogyny. At the time, he was not known as a Brattish man-child, but rather as a famous, easy-going friend, genuinely indifferent to his own star power. Things in Hindi cinema were reshuffled after the late 90s. Looking back, it was a tectonic shift. A moment of calculation. It took a long time for Salman to integrate into the new place that is now Bollywood. While Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan were sharp enough to cash in on their market value during the rise of the multiplex era around 2000, Salman Khan seemed to have missed the mark. With him, conventional wisdom dictated that he was not a pro at career management, unlike the other Khans. Does anyone remember Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge, Yeh Hai Jalwa, Kyon Ki…, Lucky: No Time for Love and Marigold? I bet even Salman doesn’t remember. But the series of flops didn’t slow him down. Looking back, one of Salman’s biggest game changers was 2003’s Tere Naam in which he played a tortured lover. The tragic love story had another tragic angle – that hairstyle, which was hideous or happening, depending on who you asked. Okay, it was a disaster (only marginally tolerable than Suryavanshi, who doesn’t say much) but then why has it become such a craze? There’s no clear answer and it doesn’t make sense to dig deeper, just like there’s no reason her sticky towel dance has become such a hit.
In the game

After Tere Naam, it was No Entry and Wanted who gave him good box office fines. While immensely popular, even during his worst phase when he was in prison (the hit-and-run and blackbuck poaching case that was turned into a soap opera by the media), his films somehow never made it to the public. the height of the sound off screen. Legend. Even a superstar like Salman needs a shot to stay in the game. And then came Abhinav Kashyap’s Dabangg in 2010, a smash hit that reinvented Salman. Govinda, Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, so many prominent men of the 90s had been counted in New Bollywood. Salman, on the other hand, has floated on his critical and box office-proof profile, but for how long? Every star looks jaded and complacent after thirty years on the ground, unless you’re that mythical creature called Rajinikanth. Or you grow a beard and a frog in the margadarshan mandal like Amitabh Bachchan, a cozy place where no one can knock you down anymore.
Salman Khan in Dabangg 3.
But Dabangg’s timing was perfect. A fun adventure, it gave his fans plenty to throw in coins and just about enough to keep critics glued down who, for the first time, felt Salman was on to something. Salman’s badass supercop Chulbul Pandey topped the charts and officially his lucky wave has begun. Yesterday and now. It soared on the big screen with the subsequent Dabangg franchise. Plus, Ek Tha Tiger, Sultan, and Race 3. Marlboro Lights-style celluloid machismo and heroism worked for Salman and his predominantly male audience – it’s strange to think of an era, light years away, where the female audience loved their Prem. His films are now an ode to his own mythology.
Kick’s (2014) credo “Dil mein aata hoon samajh mein nahin” best embodies the heart-to-heart connection and the emotional impact it has on its legion of followers. And how right it is that the son of one of the greatest screenwriters of Hindi cinema spits this sentence out with a punch. ‘Ek baar jo maine engagement kar di, Character dheela hai, Jumme ki raat hai, Hum yahan ke Robin Hood hai, Mujh by ek ehsaan karna ki mujh by koi ehsaan na karna’ and now, the reference to his eligible celibacy and to a Life lived on his own terms in Radhe’s title song, Salman’s “human being” qualities increasingly fuel his cinematic myth. What is this myth? That everyone’s favorite Bajrangi Bhaijaan is a man with a heart of gold, a paragon of secularism (implicit in the title of the film Kabir Khan), a friend of the poor, a champion of charity, a larger than life personality who prefers live the life of a hermit and a misunderstood child of God. “There is this myth called Shah Rukh Khan and I am its employee,” the generally talkative Shah Rukh Khan once said. Modest or modest, you decide. In Salman’s case, he owns the myth. There is no employee in sight. Only a sea of loyal fans who think their beloved Bhai can’t hurt.
Taylor Swift shared an intimate look at her night after the BRIT Awards ended yesterday – and confirmed she can date her longtime fan Olivia Rodrigo, Game of thrones“Maisie Williams and musician Griff off the stage. “I have a list of names and yours is in … a glitter gel pen with hearts drawn around it 😇 @maisie_williams @wiffygriffy @oliviarodrigo,” Swift wrote in her photo gallery.

Swift’s hangout with Williams is remarkable because, as Swift said onstage at the BRIT Awards, she’s a huge Game of thrones fan. Williams presented the Global Icon Award from the ceremony to Swift.
“Anyone who knows me knows Game of thrones is my life, so the fact that Maisie was there to present this to you – I want to catch you; I can’t, we socialize, but thank you so much for coming here to do this, ”Swift told him on stage.
They did have a moment behind the scenes, however:

Swift spoke emotionally to young artists and professionals in her Global Icons talk. “There are so many amazing new performers in this room tonight, and a lot of people watching who have goals, ambitions and dreams for themselves,” she said. “I need you to hear me when I say that there is no career path that is free from negativity. If you’re having resistance, it probably means you’re doing something new. If you are experiencing turbulence or pressure, it probably means you are going up. And there may be times when you put your whole heart and soul into something, and that meets with cynicism or skepticism. You can’t let that crush you. You have to let it feed you because we live in a world where anyone has the right to say whatever they want to you at any time, but just remember you have the right to prove them wrong. . I love you all. Thank you very much for this beautiful honor. Thanks to BRITs. This is amazing! “

Radhe, star of Salman Khan, is released on May 13.
Radhe, star of Salman Khan, is slated for worldwide release on May 13. The film will premiere in theaters everywhere and for those who wish to watch it in the comfort of their own homes, it will be available on ZEE5’s ZEEPlex pay-per-view service.
The film also stars Disha Patani, Jackie Shroff, and Randeep Hooda. Directed by Prabhudheva, Radhe appears to be Salman Khan’s quintessential action-artist. Salman was last seen in the 2019 film Dabangg 3 and had no release in 2020. Radhe was originally scheduled for release during Eid 2020, but has been postponed due to the pandemic.
In a virtual media interaction, Salman Khan said the film has three villains. “We have three evil Sang Hae from Bhutan, Gautam Gulati, who was at Bigg Boss, and then there’s Randeep Hooda. They are fantastic in the movie and they just watch something else. They actually made Radhe look much stronger and taller. The opposition is so deadly. You can see how hard these guys worked, ”he said.
The Dabangg star added, “Radhe is a new movie, so we won’t be repeating what we’ve done in previous movies. Otherwise, it will be that you repeated yourself again. So this is new and I need you to see the movie and then you tell me what’s new outside of me. I’m the same old Salman you see from Maine Pyaar Kiya.
Radhe marks the third collaboration between Salman Khan and director Prabhudheva. The two have previously worked together in Dabangg 3 and the 2009 film Wanted which started the new era of Salman.

Here are all the latest updates on Salman Khan’s Radhe
Salman Khan spoke earlier about the loss of box office money with Radhe. “We’re going to lose money at the box office with Radhe. The reason we’re releasing this movie is for the fans. I don’t want them to come to the theater to watch me. I don’t want ki kal ko koi bole ki Salman Khan ke fans ko coronavirus hogaya ya unhone faila diya. I’m glad Zee was also willing to take losses with us. The theater owners wanted us to release the movie to put them back into business. Radhe is done for the big screens. I we know people were waiting for its release. We were ready to release it in theaters as well, but the second wave of Covid-19 has taken place and theaters have started to close. My intention (with the movie ) is to improve everyone’s mood, ”he said.

The most important thing to know about how to grow a beard is that you actually need to grow that beard. You need the canvas to throw paint on, and you need to engage in real time to do not shave if you want a beard. This is rule # 1.
But there are still dos and don’ts to keep everything clean and tucked in, so we’ve put together our best beard growth tips to get you started growing your first beard. Or maybe it’s not your first beard, but you’re determined to make it your better beard. Or maybe it’s the first time you’ve been realistic about what’s possible, given your specific amount and where the whiskers are on your mug. (If you’re dealing with inequality, we’ve got a guide for that as well.) Wherever you are, with these tips, the best beard your DNA allows can start right now.
1. Identify your goal, but be realistic
There are many beard styles to choose from; you don’t need to stick to perfectly maintained and even growth. (Think about how your beard can best flatter your face shape.) Let your growth be influenced by the style you want to achieve. However, I insist on “wanting” for one special reason: you can’t necessarily achieve your ideal beard if your facial hair isn’t meant to grow that way.
If your beard is patchy or has a unique growth pattern (sparse on the cheeks, full on the goatee, for example), you need to set your expectations correctly. This goes for large, small and medium beards.
2. Let it grow
Patience is a virtue. Not only can a little time help fill in some irregularities, it is also necessary for almost any style. A beard turns into something new every week. So if it looks like you never each is your goal – especially if it’s a long beard – then you might honestly wake up one morning and realize you’ve arrived at your destination.
3. Pay attention to the perimeter
One of the principles of beard maintenance is to keep it defined. In short: shave the cleavage and clean the cheek lines. These give him more beard and less neck – unless, for some reason, a woolly stoner beard is your goal. In this case, let it grow wild and free.
4. Trim it as it grows
The second way to keep things intentional is to sculpt and trim your beard as it grows. It might sound counterproductive – and contrary to # 2 – but it’s the same way you have to cut your hair while growing your hair out. This helps direct the hair exactly where it needs to be: fuller in some places, less in others. The styling products in the next tip can of course help influence matters, but most of all you want to keep the hairs under control if necessary: this could mean checking for parasites, trimming split ends, or just removing some bulk. You will need a beard trimmer or a pair of sharp scissors.

5. Use some nourishing products
There are a handful of beard products that you should consider getting if you are serious about proper care and maintenance. A few drops of beard oil will quickly absorb and give your hair the right nutrients (plus a pinch of shine), while also making it more tame in the process. You can also swap out a beard balm or cream, something slightly heavier than an oil, to help style the beard and keep it in place all day.

You also want to keep the thing clean. The shampoo works well, but a dedicated beard wash will be gentler on your face. Either way, that skin still needs hydration – a moisturizer will keep it from getting dry and scaly.

6. Brush it every night
Beard brushes help exfoliate the skin under the beard, to begin with, which lifts dead skin cells and prevents future flaking. In addition, brushing a beard at the end of each day will ensure its health and ability to tame in the long run. This distributes the natural oils produced in the skin, which otherwise collects at the base of the shaft and only nourishes the bottom of each hair. This oil distribution prevents breakage, frizz and split ends. (This is a great time to apply a few drops of beard oil as a booster, especially after a shower.)

7. Try a new style
Once your base has grown – it can take months – it’s time to really make it yours. One of our favorites is to cut the bridge between the mustache and the chin, thus blocking the mustache. Or, reduce the beard itself, leaving a fuller mustache. You have a lot of options and it is your privilege as a barber to display it.
Are you ready? Ready to have more fun? Chances are you’ve been contemplating going blonde for a minute. Let this serve as a sign from the universe to go for it! While it’s always best to consult a professional, if quarantine has you cooped inside, here is a step-by-step guide to safely bleaching your own hair at home. ELLE.com talked to Colorist and R+ Co Collective member Richy Kandasamy and Wella Colorcharm and Clairol Professional Top Artist Oliver Adams who broke down 12 steps to giving yourself the ultimate bleach from the comfort of your own home. Oh, and for the people in the back, Kandasamy’s best tip is, “Go to a salon or let a hairdresser do their job.” If you still can’t hear us, read on for a safe guide to DIY bleach blonde hair.
Step 1: Check your situation
How does your hair feel? Can it truly handle the damage that you’re about to do to it? Kandasamy recommends beginning with a test. “Conduct an elasticity strand test,” he says. “Spray some water on a piece of hair, and let it absorb—stretch the wet hair very gently. If the wet hair stretches more than usual, or the texture turns a bit gummy, it is not safe to dye, if the hair goes back to its natural state, it’s in good condition to bleach.” He also recommends doing a patch test with a bleach mixture to see how your hair will react using the same method afterward with the small area of processed hair.
Additionally, it’s important to understand your current hair color situation. If your hair is already processed, if you have used any type of box dye, or if you have virgin, unprocessed hair, these can cause variations in how your hair will lift with the bleach.
Step 2: Gather your materials
You’re going to need a few items in your tool kit before you begin.
Developer (30v and 20v): This is the liquid base to your bleach (and toner) mixture, when combined it creates what we all know to be bleach.
Lightener: Usually found in a powder form, this is the second part to a bleach mixture that causes the actual lightening in the hair.
Purple Shampoo: This will help tone the brassiness in your hair and neutralize unwanted yellow and orange hues.
Toner: Like purple shampoos, these will neutralize brassy hair on a chemical level.

Step 3: Prep! Prep! Prep!
When beginning to prep your hair Kandasamy recommends sectioning your hair in four parts. For added protection, rub coconut oil from the root to tip within sectioned hair to hydrate hair. “Using coconut oil before lightening hair can be very beneficial for the condition of the hair,” adds Kandasamy. “You want it to absorb into your hair for at least one hour, even longer if possible and then you can pre-light or bleach.”
Step 4: Mixing the product
Once all the necessary materials and prep have been done (and you’ve fully committed to the Blonde lifestyle!) you’re ready to make the bleach mixture.
Read the directions on your lightener and developer materials, not all brands are the same, but most bleach mix calls for a 2:1 ratio (meaning two parts developer to one part lightener).
Don’t eyeball–proper portions are important, so measure properly! Depending on how much hair you’re trying to bleach you might need more mixture as you go, but start with 2 oz of a 30v developer and 1 oz of lightener, add the ingredients to your mixing bowl and combine them together using the painting brush until smooth.
Kandasamy recommends using one bleach mixture with a 30v developer for the length of the hair and then another bleach mixture with a 20v developer for the roots.

Step 5: Application (no turning back now!)
For each of the sections that you’ve divided, you’ll follow the below instructions. Kandasamy and Adams both recommend taking small portions within the sections of your hair and saturating the strands to make sure the hair is completely covered.
“Apply the bleach with 30 volume to mid-length and ends about two inches away from the scalp,” says Kandasamy. “Then, right after, I’d apply the bleach with 20 volume on the roots.” This is the best method to use to avoid hot roots.
Adams explains that hot roots are what happens when you apply bleach to the hair (from root to tip) at once and after processing the roots become a much lighter blonde shade compared to the yellow hair of the length.
He explains, “The hair closest to the scalp processes color quicker than anywhere else on the hair shaft because the natural heat from the body acts as a heater when hair color is applied. This means that when you are doing a virgin (hair that hasn’t been color-treated) application you must apply the color on the roots last, not first.”
Kandasamy also recommends making sure you use enough bleach mixture on your strands. Once the mixture has been applied, just pop on a shower cap or plastic bag and set your timer.
Step 6: Now you wait
Okay, let’s talk hair levels and wait time! “Processing time depends on the manufacturer recommendation and also the natural level of starting point and end result desired,” says Kandasamy.
It might be confusing, but like Kandasamy said it’s important to understand what hair level (shade) you’re starting with and what color you want to achieve to figure out how long the bleach mixture should stay on your head. This chart from Wella shows exactly what a hair level is.
Adams explains, “The level system for hair tells you how light or dark your color is going to be. One is the darkest and 10 is the lightest. It’s important to understand that all blondes must be at least level seven or above. So if you are starting at a level one you have to lift (bleach/lighten) your hair six levels to level seven to even begin to see any type of blonde.”
Once you figure out your hair level and how light you want it, you can determine the wait time. If you want your hair to lift as light as possible then leave the mixture on for 35-4o minutes (remember to never exceed 45 minutes). Adams recommends checking your hair to see if it’s lifted to the level you desire and says, “you wouldn’t want to lift hair from one to seven if you only need to lift it to four or five.”
Step 7: Wash It
When it’s fully processed, it’s time to wash it out. Use lukewarm water, too hot or cold of water can shock your hair in its already fragile state. Make sure to completely rinse out the bleach and gently wash your hair to get out all the product.
Step 8: Assess And Bleach Again (If Needed)
Don’t freak out! Your hair may look yellow or orange even and that’s okay, it just means you might have to bleach again! Make sure you assess and check the health of your hair using the stretch technique Kandasamy recommended in the first step. Using the hair level chart discussed in Step 6, determine your hair level to see if you need to bleach your hair again. If you do need to bleach again, follow steps three to seven again ( your hair needs to be dry).
Most importantly, make sure you’re giving your hair enough recovery time and consider waiting a couple of days before doing another bleach treatment.
Step 9: Time To Tone
Remember the color wheel from elementary school, this is where that comes to play. Toner will help neutralize any brassiness or yellow hues that will be lingering in your hair after bleaching.
Before you can tone, just make sure that your hair is light enough (remember the chart in Step 6). Adams said, “It is important to understand that if the hair hasn’t been lifted light enough or to the proper level, putting a toner on it is not going to fix the problem and could possibly create a very unpleasant color. So always make sure you are using toner on the correct (hair) level.”
Toner can be applied to slightly damp hair and uses the same 2:1 mixing ratio and application method as the bleach.
Use one part toner to two parts 20v developer: Mix using the same method in Step 4 with the same measurements as your bleach mixture. If you used 2oz of a developer to 1oz of a lightener do the same proportions for the toner: 2oz of 20v developer to 1oz of toner.
Make sure to use gloves and apply the mixture to sectioned hair: Similar to the bleaching application method, you’ll want to section your hair and saturate the strands with the product; mid-lengths first and then roots.
The toner and mixture will turn purple and that’s normal: The purple means the toner is activating to eliminate the yellow/orange tones in the hair.
Wait for the toner to process: Let the toner sit on your hair for 20-25 minutes or according to the time recommendation on the label. You don’t want to leave it on for too long because it can tint your hair purple.
Wash and Shampoo: Rinse your hair with lukewarm water and gently follow up with a shampoo and conditioner.
Step 10: Invest in a Purple Shampoo/Mask
Similar to the toner, a purple shampoo helps eliminate orange or yellow hues in your hair. Using a non-chemical toner (purple shampoo) is a great way to upkeep your blonde hair to keep it from getting brassy. Use a purple shampoo once or week or whenever your hair starts to get too yellow.
My personal favorite is the Matrix Total Results Brass Off, but there are tons of great purple shampoos to choose from.
Step 11: Repair
After all the chemical damage you just did to your hair, it’s important to put some love back into it to try and repair, “My best advice is always to use a professional haircare product–once or twice a week, use a hydrating hair mask,” says Kandasamy. Also, avoid using heat on your hair, Adams says, “You will want to minimize thermal heat like excessive blow-drying and ceramic heat styling in the 3-4 weeks after bleaching your hair.”

This new dimension, the fantastic space adventure, needed to find its starting point.

Now, the beauty line is enhancing its set of initiatives with its new Always an Optimist Pore Diffusing base – and celebrating the launch with a stunning In My Prime campaign by beauty influencer and photographer Alissa Ashley.
Gomez selected Ashley to capture his subjects “in their prime.” In the video above, Ashley and Gomez discuss their professional background and what they envision for the campaign.
“I had this idea for a campaign, and it was going to be called In My Prime, and I wanted it to be a series of photographs of people showing who they are at their peak, that they only wear the bait and nothing . if not, or they make a glamorous face from the eyeshadow palettes, ”Gomez told Ashley. “I just wanted it to be about being in your prime and how you feel more than how you look. I thought your photography was amazing, and I thought it would be a good choice, that we could do this together, and I want you to have full creative control, which is the best part because I can kind of take step back and see what you do. “

Ashley told Gomez that photography has been a long-time passion of her: “I’ve always loved photography and my aunt bought my first camera on eBay from this random guy. But I really, really liked it. And then somehow I got into makeup. I think maybe it’s because I watched my mom do it, and I liked it a lot, then I went to college a bit, but then I was like, ‘D’ okay, that’s not really satisfying, ” and I knew I wanted to do more makeup and then people would ask me to do YouTube videos. [And I was like,] okay i guess i will do that too so i did that and then i dunno i feel like it happened so fast. Ashley’s career has taken off, and at this point Ashley has 1.1 million Instagram followers and over 2.08 million YouTube subscribers.

Ashley added that in 2019, “I’ve reached a point in my influencer career, on YouTube, where I feel comfortable and now I want to further fuel my passion for photography.” Originally, Ashley was known for her self-portraits, but “I wanted to take pictures of other people.… I get more fun these days because it’s different.” It’s strange. Being in front of the camera is natural now, but being behind is so much more fun.
Ashley’s In My Prime campaign, with its first images on ELLE.com, is a first for Rare Beauty. “We’ve never done anything like this, so it’s going to be really exciting, and I think it’s going to be a chance for a bunch of other people to see you and see the work you do, and I think it’s going to be a blast, ”Gomez told Ashley.
Ashley, with full creative control over the shot, photographed two subjects for the campaign, Chloe Vero and Deli Lèvon, wearing the primer.
Ashley explained to ELLE.com why she brought in Vero and Levon for the shoot. “I was drawn to the concept of the campaign at the start,” she said. “I love to celebrate the idea of ’in the prime of life’ – when you’re on the move, when you feel better. This is what I feel when I am behind the camera. It’s my passion and Selena recognized it! I wanted to work with Chloe because her story, as a model who is also a talented bass player, is so unique. And I came across Deli Lèvon on Instagram! His personality shines through his images; I wanted to use this campaign to get to know him better. “

Rimi Sen recently made news for her honest confession about her early years in Bollywood, how despite being a blockbuster and working with the biggest stars, she only acted for the money. Rimi, who has been around for almost two decades, has done a series of comedies and dramas but now wants to try thrillers.
Some of Rimi’s most popular films include Kyon Ki, Deewane Huye Paagal, Phir Hera Pheri, Golmaal, Dhoom, Baghban, and others. After filming the producer with the nationally awarded film Budhia Singh – Born to Run (2016), Rimi took a break from showbiz. Although the actor seems to be ready for a second run, we’ll take her back to her Bollywood acting debut, director Priyadarshan Hungama with Akshaye Khanna, Paresh Rawal and Aftab Shivdasani, and how it went.
Here’s what she shared:
What was your first acting project? How did the project come to you?
I did a Coca-Cola commercial with Aamir Khan. After that, I started getting movie offers and Hungama (2003) was one of them. I didn’t audition for that, I just had to meet Priyadarshan sir. All he asked me was if I could swim. I said I knew it and he proved me right. I was surprised because it was not the role of a swimmer and I wondered if this was how the films were signed. I think we met at Holiday Inn or something. He is very shy and I believe because he just had to ask me something he asked about swimming. Now, to think about it, after a few years I made his movie Kyun Ki where I had to drown, maybe that’s why he asked me. (Laughs).
Priyadarshan sir is very clear about what he wants, from casting to production. He’s a very polished director.
What do you remember from your first day on the set?
We went to Chennai to shoot. On the first day, I think there were Akshaye Khanna and Paresh Rawal around. It was one of the scenes from Paresh ji’s house in the movie. It was a time when Aftab Shivdasani was also at the peak of his career.
Were you nervous? How many times have you taken?
I have never been nervous. I have always been very confident to play. But Akshaye and Paresh ji’s timing is so brilliant that it was a task to be matched with them. Priyadarshan sir is very easy with actors. He will come and explain to you in such a clear way that you won’t even realize he just explained something! He knows how to extract a great performance from any actor. This is his trait.
I have worked with great dedication, as I have been told, as an obedient student. There was never a complaint against me and people respected me a lot. Just that I had a diction problem. So in my early films my voice was dubbed. Rest, everything was good.
Hungama played Rimi Sen, Akshaye Khanna, Aftab Shivdasani, Paresh Rawal and Shoma Anand.
How was that connection with your co-stars when you got to meet them or work with them again later?
Since there were fewer players in the industry at the time, most of them repeated themselves and we continued to meet on different sets. So I ended up working with Paresh ji in several films like Phir Hera Pheri. It was like a family. With Priyadarshan sir, after every movie he goes by so quickly (to his next movie) that you don’t have time to look back and reflect on your past plans with him.
If you are given the chance to reprise your lead role, what would you like to change or do better?
Even if I want to improve anything, it will not fit the bill as I tried to describe Anjali exactly as she was in Priyadarshan sir’s mind. And it worked really well. Just that my Hindi diction was a bit of a problem. I wish I could double myself. Today, I might not make a humorous film, unless it has good content. Hungama had good content, a situational comedy at the time, but there was a mistaken identity thing. A good script has been made around him.
A movie or a role that inspired you to become an actor?
I stayed studious in school and away from home doing part-time modeling due to a financial crisis at home. So I didn’t have enough time to watch movies growing up. I had a dead childhood because I was working so hard that I wanted to retire early.
Among what I liked recently, I can cite the Delhi Crime web series. I also liked friends. I like Anurag Basu films, Raju Hirani films. But, I’m a thriller person. Otherwise, on the sets too, I have never been struck with stars. For me, all were equal. If you ask me which movie I would like to debut with, it would be Kahaani by Vidya Balan. It was my kind of movie.
