Bollywood male hotties — Milind Soman, Dino Morea and Arjun Rampal — stole the thunder at the finale of a stunning fashion show that celebrated two decades of Tina Tahiliani Parekh’s fashion store at Grand Hyatt on Sunday night.Choregraphed by Mehr Rampal, the show had an array of designers with Tarun Tahiliani, followed by Varun Bahl, Surily Goel, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Monisha Jaising, Anamika Khanna, Rajesh Pratap Singh and Rohit Bal.
Nonetheless, watching it all in the front row was Madhur Bhandarkar taking tips for his forthcoming film, ‘Fashion’. The presence of ever-so-beautiful Priyanka on his side just made all the difference.

Talvin Singh is one of the creators of Asian Underground, born in
London, he travelled to India, aged16, to study classical Indian
music with Gurudev Pandit Laxman Singh Ji, the Punjabi tabla master.
By 1995, Talvin Singh had created a whole new musical genre, mixing
the highly evolved melodic structures and complex intensity of Indian
classical music with the gritty electronica of UK jungle and drum
‘n’ bass. Early in his career he worked with seminal artists Sun
Ra, Suzie and the Banshees and über group Massive Attack. Still only
18 the artist embarked on a tour to Russia and Eastern Europe with
renowned saxophonist Courtney Pine. Singh closely collaborated with
Bjork, on her Debut (1995) album and subsequent World Tour. Madonna
engaged the artist for both her Ray of Light (WEA, 1998) and Music
(WEA, 2001) albums. At the tender age of 23 he created his own record
label Omni and concept album Calcutta Cyber Café (OMNI, 1995) which
led to his club night Anokha. In Hoxton Square’s eponymous Blue
Note, Anokha hosted his early experiments with his self-invented
Tabla-tronics instrument and software. New acts such as The Asian Dud
Foundation, Joi and The State of Bengal were presented as well as the
music of A.R Rehman being introduced to a western audience for the
first time. He conceived and licensed a compilation album, Anokha
soundz of Asian underground (Island 1996) on his Omni label. The
highly evolved melody and complex rhythmic intensity of Indian
Classical music meeting the technology and gritty electronica in
Jungle began a music sub-genre, a sound of [the] Asian underground.
With a new studio album in 2005, “still waiting in the line†this
is his first visit to Sydney EVER.
Support from: Percussion Junction, Groovelands Sound System featuring
Ben Walsh and Bobby Singh (The Bird, Dha, Circle of Rythmn), Bentley
