Did Ranveer Singh just confirm his relationship with Deepika Padukone?

At the Times of India Film Awards (TOIFA) Awards in Dubai, Ranveer Singh dropped a major hint about his relationship with his Bajirao Mastani co-star Deepika Padukone, reports Indian Express.

The Bollywood duo have lavished each other with praise and affection publicly, but never referred to themselves as a couple.

At the award ceremony last night, where the duo's film Bajirao Mastani won the top awards, Ranveer called Deepika his "better half" and "the most beautiful woman by my side" in his acceptance speech for the most stylish joriaward:

"“This is for best jodi and the better half of the jodi is not here right now but I will convey your wishes to her. Like Kareena earlier said, I have the most beautiful woman by my side… Thank you everyone.”

Deepika wasn't present to accept the award because she is currently shooting for her for her Hollywood debut xXx: The Return of Xander Cage in the US.

Apple cuts prices, screen sizes for new iPhone, iPad

CUPERTINO: Apple went small — cutting prices as well as screen sizes — unveiling a new iPhone and iPad aimed at reaching more customers and boosting replacements, at a low-key product unveiling on Monday.

The new launches came as Apple geared for a high-profile court battle with the US government on encryption and data protection, with chief executive Tim Cook claiming that protecting privacy is an obligation for the tech giant.

The new iPhone SE will debut at $399 for US customers without a contract subsidy, a significant cut from the price of its larger iPhones.

Apple vice president Greg Joswiak said many consumers prefer smaller handsets, which accounted for 30 million iPhones sold in 2015.

“Some people really love smaller phones,” he told the event at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California, unveiling the aluminum handset with upgraded specifications and other features including Apple Pay.

“In some countries like China, for a majority of these customers it is their first iPhone.”

The iPhone SE will be aimed at first-time Apple buyers and those who want to upgrade from the iPhone 5S and 5C, which have not been updated in over two years. The iPhone 6S, the lowest-cost handset in the large-screen family, starts at $649.

Also unveiled at the event was a new iPad Pro that also moves smaller — a 9.7 inch display compared with the 12.9 inch model on the original business-geared tablet.

“It is a large enough display to get all your work done, but easy to carry around,” said Apple vice president Phil Schiller.

The smaller, new iPad starts at $599 for US customers, down from around $800 for the original.

Apple will be taking orders from Thursday for the new phone and tablet, with deliveries set for March 31, in the United States, Britain, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand and Singapore, with more markets to come online in April.

Kickstarting upgrades

Apple is seeking “to kickstart the upgrade cycles for both iPhones and iPads,” said Jan Dawson at Jackdaw Research.

“Larger iPhones are still selling in huge volumes, but there's considerable evidence that some of those who own smaller iPhones are holding onto them rather than upgrading to the new, larger iPhones.”

Dawson said in a blog post that he sees “significant pent-up demand within Apple's base of iPhone owners who want a smaller iPhone with up-to-date specs and newer features.” But he added that “this pricing doesn't get the iPhone down to the kind of prices needed to really spur sales in emerging markets, where older devices have been on sale for some time at similar or lower prices.”

Apple also announced it was cutting the entry-level price for its Apple Watch to $299 from $349 as it unveiled a new nylon band for the device. Apple has not released sales figures for the smartwatch but analysts have said it has become the market leader.

Cook used the unveiling to reiterate his views on encryption and data protection a day ahead of key court hearing.

“We need to decide as a nation how much power the government should have over our data and our privacy,” Cook told the crowd gathered for the event, one day before a court hearing on a hotly contested FBI effort to force the company to help break into the iPhone of a shooter involved in a deadly December attack.

“We believe strongly we have an obligation to help protect your data and your privacy. We owe it to our customers. We will not shrink from this responsibility.”

Apple, backed by a broad coalition of technology giants like Google, Facebook and Yahoo, argues that the FBI is seeking a “back door” into all iPhones as part of the probe into the December 2 massacre that left 14 people dead.

Because of the iPhone's encryption, Apple contends it would need to build a weaker operating system to help the FBI crack the phone's pass-code.

The US Justice Department argues that it is making a “modest” demand that could help reveal vital evidence in a terror case.

At Dhaka Art Summit, artists from Pakistan came out in full force

In its third edition, the Dhaka Art Summit challenged itself by producing a four day exhibition of art from varying disciplines across most of South Asia. It was a moment of intense pride to witness Pakistani artists in full force throughout the summit – perhaps the greatest part of all.

The Missing One

To begin with, Nada Raza, assistant curator of the South Asian Department at the Tate Modern, mounted an exhibition inspired by the written work of Jagadish Chandra Bose, particularly “The Story of the Missing One” which the exhibition's title 'The Missing One' paid homage to. The story was the first instance of science fiction in Bangla, which was written in 1896, and spoke of a cyclone that terrorized the area by depositing oil into water and was eventually brought to its demise by the former.

The show revolved around the work of Gaganendranth Tagore's “Resurrection,” executed in 1922. The exhibition included artists David Alesworth, Fahd Burki, Ali Kazim, Ifthikhar and Elizabeth Dadi, Mehreen Murtaza Zoya Siddiqui and several others. To see the variety of artists included, from the young BNU graduate, Zoya Siddqui to recent the Jameel Prize nominee David Alesworth, and exhibited on such a large global platform was remarkably refreshing. Visitors including Frances Morris, Director of the Tate Modern, regarded the exhibition in high esteem.

Mining Warm Data

Diana Campbell Betancourt, who has been with the Summit since its inception and plays the key role as Artistic Director and Chief Curator, created an exhibition entitled, 'Mining Warm Data'. The group show examined how one is viewed through lenses of different methodologies of science, social economics and art.

The work of Mariam Ghani, an artist and writer, became the focal point of the exhibition. She writes, “A warm body is a portrait, not a profile; when a warm data body is erased, the real body remains intact. Warm data is easiest to define in opposition to what it is not; warm data is the opposite of cold, hard facts. Warm data is subjective; it cannot be proved or disapproved, and it can never be held against you in a court of law. Warm data is specific and personal, never abstract…”

Huma Mulji’s work, Lost and Found played a critical role in the show as well, with the examination of the body and how it is perceived, especially in these turbulent times of violence in Pakistan, where citizens reminisce over the past and try to predict the future and what it may hold for the country. While to one audience, the work seem somewhat grotesque; to others it may be fresh point of view towards other aspects of life and how one sees oneself in the future.

The other work, which stood out in the exhibition, was by Dilar Begum Jolly, another Bangla artist. Begum Jolly examined the scrutiny against women in the country and how the garment industry takes gross advantage of these women. These women risk their lives in creating clothes for the elite and western market, calling into question at what cost and purpose, the artist skeptical over its benefits for those who struggle to provide for their family.

Rewind

'Rewind', was another strong suit for the Pakistani presence in Dhaka. The retrospective took works from all around the world of artists using abstraction in the 1980s in South Asia, which featured Anwar Jalal Shemzaand Zahoor ul Akhlaq.

The exhibition included two works of Akhlaq’s, which were part of the Bangladeshi Embassy, never before being seen in the public eye. The concept of abstraction has only been a minor factor in the South Asian master's, where most marketed artists have been associated with the figurative work. These artists were using their surrounding environment while going against the grain to create their body of work to develop a larger dialogue. Many artists today, such as Shezad Dawood and Rashid Rana, credit artists such as Shemza and Akhlaq as inspiration for their own contemporary works.

Solo projects

The solo projects, curated by Diana Campbell Betancourt, featured Waqas Khan and Britain-based Pakistani artist Haroon Mirza.

Mirza’s work, The National Apavilion of Then and Now was first exhibited in the 54th Venice Biennale with great acclaim, resulting in his bestowal of the Silver Lion award as the most gifted young artist. Mirza uses the construction and concept of sound and visual perception to shift the audience into reconceptualising the forms they are surrounded by in the physical realm. With a shifting halo of white light, the work provided illumination of the darkness by creating grey pyramid forms, taking over the entirety of the cube-shaped space. The viewer was transported through the buzzing sound and began to focus on the light and form of the entire transcendent work.

Khan’s work In the Name of God, was comprised of four large books, each with the intricate detailing. With the absence of space, Khan has created a dialogue which would be interpreted by all viewers. Tactfully, Khan displayed the manuscripts in the same orientation that the Holy Qu’ran is displayed. His work very much reflects his momentary emotion at execution, which could be seen in the flow of the lines and dots created by the artist.

From the commencement of the Summit, founders Rajeeb and Nadia Samdani had achieved an impressive display of South Asian art in various media, while bringing the global art market and audiences to Dhaka. To see Pakistani artists exhibited so generously throughout the summit was truly awe inspiring; it can only bring more faith to us back home to know we can achieve such acclaim in South Asia and, soon, our own country.

5 Top Trends Impacting Public Relations in 2016

The public relations strand of marketing and communications has seen ups and downs in the last decade. With the continued growth of content marketing, public relations is fast becoming the shining star of the marketing mix again, albeit in a digital format, and with new channels navigating away from offline-only media.

So it’s important to have a strong content strategy in place for the forthcoming year, to position your company or brand as a thought leader, and speak to your customers and influencers where they are in the online marketplace.

Here are a few of the trends and changes taking place in public relations in 2016 and why you should get on board now to stay ahead of your competitors.

1.  Digital and PR Strategies Fully Intersect

Public relations is arguably one of the most important elements of a successful business and marketing strategy for 2016 and this year we’ll see digital and PR strategy fully intersect. With content and digital marketing rapidly becoming the most important part of the marketing strategy, traditional marketing campaign and channel choices are being eclipsed.

PR industry experts like Rosemary Plorin say their field will continue to evolve as digital marketing solidifies its position, shifting communications with the media, stakeholders and consumers online. The good news is, this gives you greater control over your messaging.

Remember when you wrote a press release, and then had to get on the phone to pitch it in to your contacts in the hope that one of them would pick it up? Well, while there’s still a place for that for some of your stories, for the majority of your PR activity, you’re in charge of reaching your desired consumer and media audience. And they’re all online. Your message is still the same, it’s just your delivery and where you deliver it’s that’s different. Take to social media, follow the biggest influencers and journalists in your business area, and create and share your owned content to engage with both your customer and your influencers. And we’re not just talking a standard old school press release or a pointless social media post. Develop infographics, whitepapers, video content, podcasts, webinars — content that your followers want to read and redistribute. Not only will you engage, and establish your voice in your sector, your search engine rankings will thank you too.

2. PR Pros Are in High Demand

As we see industries like print journalism contract, the role of PR professionals is becoming more and more important within marketing. The smart PR professional understands the digital world and how to leverage their brand within it to increase brand visibility, credibility, messaging and sales. As digital continues to come of age, so do the industry professionals, who are becoming more sophisticated in their communications delivery, measurement, analytics and purpose. Public relations executives should oversee the entire content and social media marketing strategy and be able to identify and track campaign successes and areas for improvement like never before.

3. Growth in Thought Leadership a PR Priority

While managing c-suite public profiles isn’t a new phenomenon, the growth in thought leadership via digital channels and increased visibility of high-level executives will lead to increased public relations spend in the area. Thought leadership will forge a core element of the overall communications strategy, delivering consistent messaging from the outset, that trickles through the entire business and across all channels and content delivery. Smart businesses are setting aside bigger chunks of their budget now.

3. Demand for Social Audio and Visual Continues to Grow

Social media executed right has earned its stripes as one of the most credible set of channels available for brand communicators, yet creating the right content can be demanding. Millennials’ appetite for sharable social content isn’t slowing down, with older platforms like Facebook holding it’s own next to newer entrants like Snapchat and Pinterest. What is changing is the type of content that users engage best with. As people are on-the-go, often multitasking screen time with other activities, easily digestible content like infographics, podcasts, photography and video are increasingly popular and can deliver brand messaging in far sharper ways than traditional content.

Beware of a “one size fits all” strategy, however. Understanding your audience and target market, the social platforms they are using and engage best with, and being able to use analytics to identify successes and weak spots are imperative to social success.

5. Increased Regulation of Paid Content Makes Earned Media Even More Desirable

With the FTC increasing regulatory requirements for native advertising online, the need for promoted content to be labelled far more prominently may impact the credibility of the content, and how desirable the channel is within the marketing mix. With this in mind, it will become even more important for PR pros to create the right relationships with the media and key influencers, and to create the sort of credible content that can be shared throughout their networks. Earned content will be the goal for PRs in 2016 and employing the tactics above will be hugely beneficial in helping obtain it.

How to keep the mojo in branded content

American Idol, once a mega-hit series, will end in 2016. At its peak in 2006,Idol drew more than 36 million viewers in the US for its season finale. Since then, ratings have fallen nearly every season with this year attracting only one-third of the viewers witnessed during its peak. What caused the decline of a programme that was a global phenomenon?

As someone said, change is the only constant. We are creatures who exhibit curiosity. We are distracted by shiny new objects. Once boredom sets in, we search for the next shiny object. In the book Boredom: A Lively History, scholar Peter Toohey examines boredom as an adaptive mechanism. “Boredom is, in the Darwinian sense, an adaptive emotion. Its purpose, that is, may be designed to help one flourish.”

So by nature we seek and create the new ‘new’ which makes the old look pale. In the case of American Idol, the formula which made it engaging was the reason it lost its edge. The show’s meteoric rise was its novel way of engaging audiences – they could help discover the next pop star. The authenticity was further accentuated by judges like Simon Cowell who were forthright and blunt in their critique. However, with judges changing frequently and more importantly Idol’spromise of producing stars waning, the show began to lose its power to engage. It stopped delivering on its promise, and new competitive shows such as The Voicebegan to challenge the status quo with a new format.

A recent phenomenon which continues to build a diehard fan following is the fantasy drama TV series Game of Thrones. It not only immerses viewers in a world of fantasy through elaborate sets, the plot keeps people guessing – especially those who have not read the books it is based on. Its brutal realism is also surprising where the expected good guy (Ned Stark) dies in the first episode. From then on, one’s subconscious expectation of a Lord of the Rings type happy ending is crushed leaving the mind curious for the unexpected twists. The series continues to deliver on its promise that, “when you play the game of thrones, you win or you die.”

So what can we learn from these two examples?

To gain an audience, content has to be constantly engaging. Creative disruption practiced with a deep understanding of cultural trends creates content that is novel. It can be entertaining or informative or both. The process and mindset drives the freshness that is at the essence of making content entertaining. Novelty lies in being format, duration and channel agnostic – as long as the content is aligned with what the brand stands for.

Branded content is not easy to define. It can interchangeably be called branded entertainment or more recently native advertising. In essence it is a variation of a brand’s way of telling stories. While advertising is a short format with a sales story, branded content relates to an audience’s interest first and subtly ties in the brand’s relevance.

Coke Studio is a musical platform that creates fusion between the old and the new. It inspires creativity and passion, which is what the Coca-Cola brand stands for. With the format well defined, the innovation is driven by the mix of talent thatCoke Studio continues to bring together. Although the producers have changed, perhaps to refresh the content, the challenge for Coke Studio will be whether the format of a live-studio recording on TV will continue to be engaging. The need to change will be accelerated if a serious contender introduces a new music platform which becomes more entertaining.

Branded content can also present itself as an episodic opportunity. With the advent of Pakistani films, brands have taken the opportunity to go beyond product placement by developing branded songs. Rivo Mobile’s branding of the item songSelfiyan Re Selfiyan in Wrong Number and Fair & Lovely Ka Jalwa featured inJawani Phir Nahi Aani are examples of shorter, episodic branded entertainment. It demonstrates the option of opportunistically integrating with someone else’s content.

There can also be standalone episodic content. As early as 2001 and 2002, BMW released a series of consecutive short films called The Hire. The series, which consisted of eight films, featured famous filmmakers and starred celebrities, including Madonna. Clive Owen starred as the ‘Driver’ and different BMWs were showcased throughout the films. The films were the first example of the complete fusion between advertising and entertainment. And it employed a unique approach to advertising because consumers had to seek out the content themselves on a dedicated website. The films were successful because they were prioritising the entertainment aspect of the story first and subtle branding second.

In a world overwhelmed by information and messages, brands need to constantly create content, whether through a dedicated owned platform or through a stream of episodic content. And it doesn’t necessarily need to be just entertainment either. Publishing informative content and driving advocacy are other forms of content which enforces brand value and demonstrates thought leadership.

The advent of digital technology in particular, is creating innovative ways for brands to publish content enabling information-rich platforms like the beauty portal www.beautifulyou.com.pk.

“The best way to establish and reinforce common values is to create content that’s so highly specific it defines not only the brand, but the customer,” writes Alexander Jutkowitz, managing partner for Group SJR in the Harvard Business Review. Group SJR, part of Hill+Knowlton Strategies, is among a growing segment of specialised agencies focusing on creating and disseminating content. Others such as Skyword position themselves as experts in sustainable content marketing.

Even traditional publishers are creating opportunities to collaborate with brands.Forbes with its initiative BrandVoice offers publishing access to Forbes.com, to content creators, search discovery and realtime analytics. Fox Sports recently announced a new initiative called Fox Sports Engage, a multiplatform branded-content distribution programme which aims to give advertisers a wider audience. The focus is on how to better distribute the branded content offered to clients.

Alternatively, a brand can leverage unique data to create an ongoing branded content platform. While at a healthcare technology company in the US, I worked on a project to use unique data to rank healthcare insurance companies. The rankings, which were the first of their kind, were extensively covered and quoted by leading publishers and eventually became an industry benchmark. Branded as proprietary content, the platform continues to publish rankings annually building the company’s position as a thought leader.

In conclusion, a brand can create and disseminate content in many different ways. It can avoid losing its mojo by continuous innovation which can be driven through the content format, story plot, information shared, personalities involved, advocacy and support for movements, among other such factors. The content can be based around an owned long term platform, a series of short episodic activities or native integration in third-party content. Editorial independence in creating content that is purposeful will always be critical, but the effectiveness in creating relevant ideas will rely on a clear articulation of the brand. It will always stem from what the brand stands for.

Kajol joins Fawad Khan in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil's long list of cameo stars

Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan, Anushka Sharma and Ranbir Kapoor bring oodles of star power to the big screen. But does that satisfy their director Karan Johar? Not quite.

The Bollywood producer takes the director's chair after a hiatus of three years in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, and he's pulling out all stops to make the romance drama the biggest crowd-pleaser of the year.

KJo has roped in a string of celebrity cameos for the film, including our very own Fawad Khan and Imran Abbas. Saif Ali Khan is also said to make a brief appearance in the film as Ash's husband, reports MissMalini.

Rumour has it that that latest actor to join the long list of cameo stars is none other than KJo's favourite dulhania, Kajol! This is not unusual for a superstitious director like KJo (remember his K-phase?); maybe he thinks of Kajol as his lucky charm?

The Dilwale actress is said to play a small but pivotal role in the film. The film releases on October 28, 2016.

Weekend grub: Andaaz takes you back to the Mughal era

With so many security advisories and checks, Andaaz has become the waterhole of most of the diplomats as well as visiting foreign delegations in Islamabad as it carries a “clearance tag”.

The eatery offers fine dining Pakistani cuisine as well as the ambiance. Corporate dinners, embassy treats and Islooties looking for a quiet evening out, Andaaz provides the recipe.

Where to go:

Nestled in the lap of Margalla Hills in Saidpur Village F-6 Islamabad, Andaaz interior manages to cast nostalgia on the guests the moment they enter the eatery. The décor is nothing but mesmerizing.

Black and white photographs of music gurus of yesteryears dominates the grey stone walls of the eatery unfolding the stories of the legends of the sub-continent's music world. Malika Pukhraj, Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Roshan Ara Begum , Pathanay Khan and many others take the guests at Andaaz down memory lane.

When to go:

The eatery opens at 12 noon for lunch and lights are off at midnight. With seating capacity exceeding 70 in number and that too on split levels, it is hard to decide which floor has a better view of the majestic mountains and the Hindu temple neighboring Andaaz.

What to order:

As we seated, toasted pappadums, in golden brass ramekins arrived in not more than five minutes of waiting. The overdose of dips in the likes of kachomar salad, tamarind chutney, sesame garlic paste sauce and mint chutney made it difficult to pick and savor one particular taste in the mouth. As we were a party of six and it was a lunch time on a Sunday, the place had a full occupancy.

We had decided to go Dutch so the order was massive. Cheese chicken kebabs, tandoori jheengay, , paneer sabz seekh , kandahar kebabs from the grilled side and jheenga karahi, chutney murgh and daal makhni were the other picks of the day on the gravy side.

Before the food was served, a server carrying a traditional samawarappeared on our table for finger-dips taking us back in Mughal era. We all got excited and felt like a royalty. Four silver platters arrived on our table and the waitress gently placed one piece each of char chicken cheese kebabs on the plates laid out for the hungry appetites.

The cheese chicken kebabs were divine; an amalgamation of cheddar, gouda and mozzarella, with a dust of Parmesan and two grilled mushrooms on the side, the plate looked pretty, as well as appetizing. 10/10 for marination and the grill, the cheese oozing out of the meat clearly distinguished it's own flavor with that of mince chicken.

These kebabs are a must try; order atleast two helpings if you're a big bunch because we all wanted seconds. The server had warned us before hand on the quantity of tandoori jheengay(four on one plate) so we ordered more. Grilled to perfection, the jumbo prawns were infused with umpteen home made sauces.

"Jheengas require 24 hours marinating time, as more than 25 different ingredients go into the homemade recipe, which I use for both the tandooriand the jheenga karahi," explained the Andaaz head chef.

Paneer sabz seekh and daal makhni were picked from the menu to balance the meat orders. Finely cut, as well as proportionately balanced, cubes of cottage cheese arrested in a skewer along with thinly sliced bell peppers and an onion ring, with a hint of tamarind sauce, managed to attract the three diehard meat eaters.

Daal makhni had all what one could ask for. Right amount of cream, well cooked lentils and the spice level acceptable to all. It was heavy on the appetite but tasted like the traditional makhni from across the border.Chutney murgh came out to be a Hyderabadi dish. Tandoori grilled boneless chicken chunks, beautifully laid out on a bed of green chutney, homemade sauce with caramelized onion garnishing; the dish got polished off in a jiffy.

The menu for dessert was as appealing as the main menu. Dhai ke kheer, shahi tukray and gulab jaman burlee was where we stopped. Unfortunately had to ignore the chocomosa, which was a pastry filled with melted dark chocolate and shaped like a samosa, deep fried and served with vanilla sauce. Neither our appetite nor our pockets could afford it any more.

Served in clay baked containers, the kheer lived up to it's name as well as innovation. Topped with raisins and pistachios, the chilled delight was a mix of cream and yogurt. One could not decide whether it was the sweetness of the raisins or crunch of the pistachios or the tang of the yogurt that made this novelty a hit with one spoon bite.

The jaman burlee too, seemed to be an infusion; a thin layer of custard cream, topped with gulab jaman spread before being caramelized, carried the color as well as a unique taste.Two spoons each were enough to appreciate the patisserie chef.

Damage on the pocket:

Andaaz is no doubt heavy on the pocket. Prices range from Rs 800 to Rs 1800. Char cheese chicken kebabs are priced at Rs 890 whereas tandoori jheengay will set you back Rs 1890. Similarly, kandahar kebabs carry a price tag of Rs 990, as does the paneer sabz seekh. Chutney murgh is for Rs 1190 whereas all veggies fall under the Rs 700 belt. An average bill per person should be Rs 1500 to Rs 2000.
