“Which Jessica do you like,” went a common query among punters over a decade back. The choices came gladly to the eye: Alba, Biel, Chastain and Simpson. The last Jessica, the pop singer, surfaces suddenly now—unchanged and untouched by time, mocking the lot of us with beer bellies, making us rue the loss of our young adulthoods. If you wonder what the luscious blonde was doing all this while, take a closer look (if you haven’t already) at that ‘cow print’ bikini, and that sheer cloth with lace embroidery. It’s from the Jessica Simpson Collection’s swimwear line. That’s serious reinvention, baby!

Here’s another pair then, after Sania-Shoaib and Saina-Kashyap, who transmutes the bonds of friendship forged over playing sports at the highest level into the weightier ties of matrimony. We are talking about top archers Deepika Kumari and Atanu Das, who grasp the vacant space offered up by the pandemic to do the needful in Ranchi. Strict social distancing was followed for the 60 guests, along with a liberal use of masks and sanitisers. Deepika, a former World No 1, is currently No 9; Atanu is not as elevated. We hope they spur each other on to find bull’s eyes.

Indian fakirs and sadhus, in those ghastly days of rampant, stereotyping Western Orientalism, were known across the world for their powers of levitation. They now have a latter-day competitor in the fabulously athletic form of Madhavi Nimkar. We have admiring eyes not only for her floral-printed workout leotard, but for those shoulders and forearms that elevates her being so exemplarily on the International Day of Yoga. So between jawans doing extreme asanas in Ladakh’s extreme climate and Madhavi, who do you pick? We have a divided house on this.

She has a large fan-following on the strength of cardboard characters in TV serials, photoshoots and a constant, wandering presence in social media. Hina Khan, however, is a scaredy cat these days, perennially afraid of catching the dreaded C-virus, and took the feeling along to a dubbing studio for (absolutely, we imagine) necessary work. “I realised it’s unsafe to inhale/exhale so close to the microphone. God knows how any have dubbed there,” she says, her voice on an edge. That’s her, when she wasn’t so yellow as now, out for some faux gardening, soaking in the sun, hiding behind those shades. Another…gasp…of those shoots.

Bollywood’s tepid rumour mills roll on as the pandemic blows hot, sulfurous air on it, and down our trembly, tingly necks. The need some louts have to sexualise any human friendship, especially between famous people, reflects their own bestial thoughts. So was the suggestion that Dangal co-stars Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra share a Sapphic relationship. Fatima had the good sense to dodge the canard in a neat side-step and then talk about the friendship she shares with Sanya. They are as they appear here: goofily happy.

Glamour, when painted on to an unwilling surface, doth detract from beauty. Benafsha Soonawalla (Whozzat? A Big Boss contestant)—wearing eye shadow straight from a horror flick and a gimcrack top laden with the cheapest trifle out of a Bollywood B-movie circa 1983—is actually a pretty lass with a fresh complexion. These days, she moans about a ‘hot photo’ of hers being taken down by Instagram. If you peek at it, you will turn away from the poor girl forever. Before plunging into disasters, she needs to ask us.

So accustomed are we to the tropes of foreign fashion magazines’ cover photography that there was nothing unusual about this on the face of it: Scarlet Johansson flanked by Korean actress Donna Bae and Deepika Padukone. But Diet Prada, a ‘fashion watchdog’, cast a gimlet eye and called out the sweetly nefarious, subterranean design. Pretending to celebrate diversity, including people of colour, what entrenched bastions of White privilege do is to use the latter as ‘props’ to ‘glamourise’ White privilege, it says. Scarlett, in short, will remain at the centre. If you always noted the ‘side role’ of Asians and Blacks in a fashion photo, then shrugged it off, you were at least on the right track.

The truly stylish don’t try hard—an old maxim that’s embodied by the persona of Radhika Apte, who has a natural ability to transcend even fashion mag frippery. Cooling her heels in London, she has here a tumbled-down bicycle, a bottle of water (we think), a pair of cool shorts and top, shades and a contented smile. And she’s got the expanse of Regent Park spread around her, with its water bodies, swans and fine stands of Ash, Plane and Walnut. Yet Radhika is not one to wallow in delicious repose—she’s cut down on her beloved reading and is concentrating on the next best thing—writing.
