Haircare Routine for Healthy Hair | Home Remedies with Dancebee
Ingredients: Coconut Oil (I use Parachute Advansed or regular Parachute Coconut Oil), Almond Oil (I prefer Dabur Almond Oil or Hamdard's Rogan Badam Shirin), Olive Oil and Castor Oil.
Process: Mix the first 3 oils in equal proportion, and only 2-3 drops of Castor Oil. Mix it up, and voila! Your potion is ready. Leave it on for 30 mins, and then, rinse using your shampoo (and follow it up with a conditioner / mask). Avoid leaving it on overnight. For best results, use as a pre-wash deep conditioning technique.
Tip: If you plan to store this in a bottle (for use upto 1-2 months), do not heat the oil. For those who are using this only once, the oil can be warmed in a small bowl (for approximately 30-45 seconds). Remember
26 Years of DDLJ | Top Moments from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
On this special occasion, we list some of our favourite moments from the film.
1. Bade bade deshon mein...
Because after all, aise badi badi filmein roz nahin banti, Senorita!
2. Shahrukh Khan's iconic Smile
The reason why most girls born in the 90s had their first crush on King Khan.
3. The Towel and Rain dance
That moment when everyone in the cinema hall goes 'Aww', including me, you and every other DDLJ fan out there!
5. The Hotel Prank scene
We all love Raj, and we can't stop laughing when he breaks the"Kal raat" waali news to Simran.
But seconds into the scene and again, we all go - Awww!
6. And Simran falls down...
And you be like - Say whaa? Isn't Raj just plain crazy?
7. The Sarson ke khet scene + Tujhe dekha toh
The song that made every individual hunt for that perfect patch of Sarson ke khet, only for them to run the Bollywood way and sing "Aankhen meri, sapne tere."
8. Ho Gaya Hain Tujhko Toh Pyaar
9. The Train scene
How else will Shahrukh Khan continue to save his lady love and pull her inside the running train, for the next 20 years? On a serious note, this is 'the' moment when Simran is finally allowed to live her life. The moment where the legendary Late Amrish Puri says, "Jaa Simran jaa, jee le apni zindagi."
10. Palat

Rakita Rakita Dance Cover - Jagame Thandhiram | Dhanush Birthday Special | Priya Adivarekar
As Superstar Dhanush celebrates his 38th birthday this year, I thought it would be exciting to recreate his recent chartbuster 'Rakita Rakita' from 'Jagame Thandhiram'. While the euphoria surrounding his birthday has hit a peak - with #HappyBirthdayDhanush trending all day on social media and fans pouring their hearts out with incredible wishes - we thought of presenting our own humble, heartfelt surprise. The video was shot at home due to the covid-19 restrictions, and this is also the first time that I've tried wearing a 'Tamil Veshti' (if I've got the method or draping wrong, my apologies. But, I would love to keep trying and improvise). I truly enjoyed every bit of recreating this foot tapping number.
Here's my fun MASS attempt, and I truly hope you guys enjoy it. Let's Rakita!!
Vaccine, Dubbing aur Mumbai ki Baarish | Vlog
Finally, I got a slot on CoWin and managed to get (partially) vaccinated. But, not without my dose of adventures - where I got stuck due to #Mumbai ki Baarish and (almost) missed my #vaccine appointment. Also, I had a recording session lined up between.

Total Hair Transformation | New Look Reveal - VLOG
After patiently waiting an entire year (and growing my hair like a straight, blank canvas), I finally decided to get a fresh, new haircut (the balayage had worn out and I wanted a change) for my birthday month. Being a responsible citizen, I took all precautionary measures, and stepped out on a chilled Sunday to get myself a brand new haircut. And, the timing couldn't have been better - I got this done exactly hours before the partial lockdown was announced in Mumbai - whereby it was announced that Salons would be shut for an entire month. Guess, somethings are meant to be!
Hope you enjoy this vlog.

Birthday Special | Musings by Sushant Singh Rajput
It's tough. It's tough when you have to muster up the courage and write for someone, whose incredible work on the big screen would make a million hearts skip a beat. For someone who was so pure at heart, and incredibly passionate about his work. For someone, who would always warmly greet you with the brightest smile and a twinkle in the eye. You know why this process is so difficult? Because it feels so arduous, linking words like 'was' or 'no more' with an individual - who feels like he is very much around. Sushant Singh Rajput may have crossed the bridge and landed among the stars, to explore the universe (just the way he liked); but his untimely and unfortunate demise continues to pierce our hearts even today. I fondly remember texting or tweeting the actor on his birthday, and receiving the sweetest responses (something I terribly missed since the last 1-2 years, and shall now miss forever). His kindness was always a class apart, and so was his remarkable intelligence, whereby the man could discuss Shakespeare to Saturn in a single breath. I thoroughly enjoyed my interactions with the man, whom I fondly called 'Bright Star' (and rightly so). Little did I know that the star would find his way in the universe so soon.
Honestly, I couldn't get myself to write any feature or tribute in 2020. Perhaps, I wasn't ready. Or, maybe I could not weave words together to explain my state of mind. However, January 21 marks SSR's 35th birthday. On this special day, I decided to put together some fond memories and quotes by the maverick, from our conversations and interview archives. His words were powerful. Strong enough to always leave an impact. And on his birthday, if there is anything I would like to celebrate, it would be his 'Words' or as he would say - 'Musings'. And no, I wouldn't call it a 'Birth Anniversary' or 'Tribute', because the brightest stars shine - they never die.
