A sequined silver dress and jewellery with silver and diamonds aided Mouni Roy’s look to appear like a girl of the millenial era. Adding to her silver hues, a pair of block long boots with silver studded heels was chosen by expert stylists.

Styling experts also ensured that the party look was gelled with subtle and nude makeup base and minimalist hues of lip colour complementing smockey eye make up in a light brown shade. Her long hair was left open at the top and curled towards the bottom.

The green suit power packed look symbolized Mony’s independence and fearlessness. Although fashion for her was a juxtaposition of comfort and style. The stylists ensured that she looked chic in her business suit.

A glam quotient was added to her appearance with a sleek neck peice in Ruby and diamonds emphasising that even though she was looking all power packed she still opted for sneakers to remain comfortable. Her hair was tied in a back high ponytail to go with the entire concept and add to the style. Makeup was kept minimalist and nude to strike that balance.

Lastly, the final look, created by the experts himself, was a striking white, all white yet vibrant bohemian look with a bun on top with half the hair tied and the rest left open. Light smockey eye makeup and a nude base finished the look off as bohemian and subtle. Her look was enriched with a statement ring and a diamond choker necklace.

She increased her statement even more with a pair of silver high heels, depicting the look of a girl who is freespirited in choosing her fashion and does not abide by any rules as to what is considered fashionable or not. Let your spirits run high in preparation of the summer spring while you take your cues from Mouni Roy as to how to ace your style.

When Kabir Bedi Played A Sikh In A James Bond Movie #SikhsInHollywood

A 1983 Bond movie called Octopussy, the thirteenth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, and the sixth to star Roger Moore as James Bond, the movie had a character named Gobinda, a Sikh guy. Interestingly, Bedi had a famous scene in the movie where he fought with Bond on top of a moving train with a sword in hand.

Reminiscing his role, Bedi told to a leading portal, 

“Of the five months over which Octopussy was shot, Roger and I spent two months together. A lot of scenes were shot in London’s Pinewood studios, where a lot of historic Bond films—and the famous train fight scenes from Octopussy—were shot. We also filmed a major part in Rajasthan.

We were staying at the Taj Lake Palace, where the villas overlook the lake. There was a beautiful oval pool surrounded by hotel suites, where we would gather in the evenings after the shoot and sit and chat.

Roger was an introverted man. He wasn’t very forthcoming in the beginning and it took me some time to break the ice and get to know him. Roger’s mother was born in Calcutta (now Kolkata) and he was interested in hearing about my parents’ participation in the freedom struggle. He knew that I was famous in India, and in Italy for The Black Corsair, and he treated me like an equal. He would try to help out other actors in a scene, and I don’t remember him losing his temper even once.

Now, I am a fan of Sean Connery. I have grown up watching those movies and he remains the definitive Bond for me. But what Roger brought was a wry sense of humour and a lightness to the role, a tradition which was carried forward by Pierce Brosnan. We didn’t see the more muscular Bond making a comeback until Daniel Craig. Roger would introduce unexpected humour into scenes, because he would joke about practically everything.

There is a scene in Octopussy where he comes across a tiger in the jungle. He sat and spoke to it like he is talking to a dog. There was another moment during the shoot which I remember for his impish humour. I was wearing an elaborate turban which was completely white. It almost looked like a bandage. When he saw me on the set, he asked, ‘Are you feeling better now?’

Moore’s sense of humour was very British. But he was more European than English or American, especially in the later stages of his life, after his marriage to the Danish Kristina ‘Kiki’ Tholstrup. That last marriage, I believe, gave him a lot of happiness. We in the movies move on after working on one project. Roger and I had exchanged some messages later and would find out about each other through mutual friends. I didn’t know about his cancer, though.

If you scratched the surface, Roger could also show a profound philosophical side. I remember taking walks with him in the English countryside, talking about love, birth and death.”
