A beaming Riteish arrived on horseback in the morning even as his father, former chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, led the baraat.

The groom donned an embellished sherwani with a baashingh, a traditional Maratha ornament, adorning his forehead over a red saafa.

Riteish and Genelia first met while shooting for their debut film "Tujhe Meri Kasam" in 2003. They have been together for years but kept their affairs under wraps till recently.

Post-marriage, they have a new release coming up titled, "Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya".

The traditional Maharashtrian style ceremony was attended by the 'Who is Who' of showbiz and politics.

Genelia, who belongs to a Mangalorean Catholic family, not only wore Nav-vari (nine yard sari), the traditional sari created by Neeta Lulla, she also sported a nose ring and tied the mundawali - a decorative strings of pearls - around her forehead.

Genelia D’Souza Reveals Beauty Secrets

Her bubbly personality and easygoing attitude enabled her to carve a niche in Bollywood. The newest face of Garnier Light, Genelia shares her skin care secrets, and iDiva tells you how to achieve that flawless skin...

SKIN CARE REGIME

- I drink plenty of water and
- wash my face with cold water every morning.
- I moisturise my skin before applying makeup to avoid any negative reactions. I
use Garnier Light Moisturizer with SPF 15 daily. It’s a moituriser thats helps lighten the skin tone and prevents dark spots. At night, I use a cleanser, toner and moisturiser.

SKIN CARE TIPS
Skin care is actually a way of life. It’s affected by the lifestyle we lead. A balanced diet and regular exercise is pertinent.

THE SPOTLESS LOOK

To obtain Genelia’s clear, porcelain-like, rosy-cheeked complexion, prevent your skin from problems such as dark spots and tanning. We explore the causes and solutions of the same:

Dark spots and tanning

When the skin becomes unusually dark, hyperpigmentation occurs. The emergence of dark spots and tanning of the skin are common signs of hyperpigmentation.

Dark spots—also called age spots—are often caused by excessive exposure to the sun.

Due to the high amount of sun exposure on the face, neck and hands, as they are the most affected areas. Even though dark spots are not always caused by ageing, as we age, our skin’s ability to fight back reduces, thereby producing age spots.

Deep wrinkles, dry and rough skin, visible blood vessels on the face, nose and ears are some of the many effects of dark spots.

Genelia D’Souza : Bollywood Beauty Secrets

Tanning, similar to dark spots, is also caused due to sun exposure. The UV intensity is highest between 10am to 4pm. Using sun blocks or sunscreen lotions with a minimum SPF 15 is effective to a certain extent.

CAUSES

Excessive sun exposure, as UV rays hasten the production of melanin Hereditary or genetic causes Hormonal changes Vitamin deficiency of B12 and zinc Thyroid deficiency

SOLUTIONS

Use a sun block with minimum SPF 15 Consume multivitamins with Omega 3 fatty acid supplements Mix two tablespoons of salt/sugar with one tablespoon of lemon juice. The salt/sugar will exfoliate skin quickly, and the lemon juice will act as a natural bleach or skin lightener Use a cleanser and moisturiser that contains natural fruit acids. Or use a body wash that contains alpha-hydroxy acid to reduce suntan Include beta-carotene (in carrots) and potassium (in banana) in your diet to prevent dark spots A few drops of honey in yogurt provides for a good facial and helps lighten dark spots.

Chance Pe Dance - Movie review

Bollywood-Check : Chance Pe Dance - Movie review
- Film: Chance Pe Dance
- Director: Ken Ghosh
- Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Genelia D’souza and Mohnish Behl
- Rating: **

Chance Pe Dance is the kind of film where you know the end and can’t wait to get there, even if it takes its own sweet time to do so. Genelia is cuteness personified and gives a pleasant performance. Her pairing with Shahid works and scenes where they get to know each other are sweet.

The film starts on a promising note with smoothly synchronized opening credits but by its sixth scene you sense where it’s heading. The screenplay by Ken Ghosh and Nupur Asthana is conventional to the core, has predictable plot-points and lacks any dramatic graph. Kiran Kotrial’s dialogues lack depth and additional writing help by Manu Rishi ( Oye Lucky Lucky Oye ) doesn’t add any value to the narrative. Ken Ghosh’s direction lacks as much conviction as his writing and it’s easy to comprehend how he hurries and fabricates the storytelling in the second half.

Watch it only if you’re a die-hard Shahid fan and if three good songs and four good scenes satisfy you as an audience.

In the opening sequence of Chance Pe Dance (CPD), it’s established that struggling actor Sameer aka Sam (Shahid) is finding it hard to make ends meet in Mumbai.

He has only a loaf of bread and a little orange juice for breakfast, a refrigerator that doubles up as a wardrobe and a landlord knocking on his door for four months’ rent. In the last scene of CPD, Sam arrives for the premiere of his film, a superstar now.

There’s very little between these two scenes that would make you want to sit through CPD. The comedy seems forced, the emotions unreal (and the kinds seen in a number of other such films) and the script trite.

There’s a sub-plot, which entertains you for a while, but which is sadly sidelined for some reason. In stead, you have to bear with another tale of an out-of-towner making it in the big, bad entertainment world of Mumbai.

After three years of struggling, Sam finally lands the lead role in a dance-based film. But even as the film takes a while to roll, Sam is thrown out of his house by his landlord and has no money to afford even a decent meal.

So even if your heart is supposed to go out to penniless Sam – living out of his car now – he looks like he’s been splurging on protein shakes and working out at a high-end gym, although there are no scenes to establish that. Our hero is just blessed with an eight-pack, it seems.

Unwillingly, Sam takes up the job of a dance instructor at a school, and has to prepare a bunch of kids with two left feet to compete at a dance competition where they stood last among 22 schools the previous year. School of Rock ‘n’ Roll, anyone?

Meanwhile, the director of Sam’s film backtracks on his promise to cast him as the hero and launches a nationwide hunt for the role in stead.

Obviously, Sam participates, urged by his girlfriend Tina (Genelia), and if you feel there’s any chance of him not winning this competition, then clearly you are very imaginative.

Sadly, the makers of CPD aren’t. In fact, director Ken Ghosh and his writers don’t seem to have worked on making the film even a little bit engrossing.

The best sequences – and they are few – are the ones where Sam interacts with the kids at school. Even though you see this track go down the road-already-travelled by the Jack Black cult, School of Rock, you don’t mind it so much because at least, then, its not purely a struggler-trying-to-make-it-big-in-Mumbai kind of a story.

Sadly, that’s too much to ask for. The ‘dance competition’ that the kids participate in is hurriedly wrapped up – they obviously win – and then the film is once again about Sam striking gold as an actor.

The only area where the makers seem to have put in any effort is the execution of the dance sequences, and even if a few of them are entertaining, they don’t do much for the film otherwise. They have been picturised well – although one song where Shahid and Genelia are shown to tower over Mumbai’s buildings looks like a 90s music video – and Shahid brings the dances alive with his moves.

The songs, however, are not the kinds you would remember later. The sole exception is ‘Pump It Up’, in the climax, but you’re so fed up with CPD by then that you don’t really care.

Shahid gives an uneven performance, ranging from very good to hammy (especially when he’s supposed to do comedy). Post-Kaminey, you see the actor in a new light and he looks a lot more confident and sure of what he’s doing onscreen.

Although he does not-so-badly, performance wise, he needs to smarten up and choose films that do justice to his talent. His dances are a treat to watch.

Parikshit Sahni seems to be playing the troubled father in every second film and does a repeat of what he did in 3 Idiots and Dulha Mil Gaya recently.

Director Ghosh seems to have put all his efforts on song picturisations and little else. But with a story and script as bland, you can’t really expect him to make any sort of mark.

Watch it for the songs and if you are a die hard fans of Genelia and Shahid.
