AATMA - Bipasha Basu in the most powerful role of her career

AATMA

Bipasha Basu in a non-glamourous role as that of a single mother who will do anything in the world - to save her six year old girl.

Aatma is the story of a woman forced to face her fears and fight against a force over which she has no control and her biggest enemy is her own mind.


Abhay (Nawazuddin Siddique) is a psychotic husband who at every given opportunity, abuses and harasses his wife Maya (Bipasha Basu). He even suspects his wife of having an affair with her office colleague.
For Maya, her life has become a hell, and then she decides to get separated. Now comes the problem, the couple’s divorce is fine, but it is their subsequent fight over their daughter, Nia’s (Doyel) custody which sets out bitterness between them. The magistrate orders Maya to have custody of the child as the husband is found to be a psychotic person.
As Maya starts to pick up the pieces of her life, strange things starts happening around her. Maya’s six year old daughter Nia starts to speak to her dead father but Maya initially feels that she has created an imaginary father to fill the gap in her life.

Over the years brides are becoming more and more contemporary – Neeta Lulla


Neeta Lulla’s contemporary bridal designs





A fashion extravaganza by Neeta Lulla and Varuna D Jani at Shehnaai 2013
Wedding Trends 2013 at JW Marriott
Mumbai , 29th March 2013:
Celebrated Bollywood fashion designer Neeta Lulla and trendsetting jewellery designer Varuna D Jani, presented wedding trends for 2013 through a lavish wedding fashion show Shehnaai 2013 at JW Marriott, Mumbai.

The popular wedding fair, featuring the most luxurious and personalized services to make your dream wedding come true, saw Mumbai’s most eminent and stylish personalities walking the ramp such as Sonal Chauhan, Rohit Roy, Bhagyashree, Hrishita Bhatt, Vidya Malavade and Kiran Bawa to name a few. Karan V Grover hosted the show while television stars such as Arjun Bijlani, Krystle D’Souza, Mahesh Shetty, Neha Ahuja, Narayani Shashtri, Deepika Singh and Vishal Singh walked the ramp.
At Shehnaai 2013 onlookers got to witness the bridal fashion show featuring haute wedding couture from none other than Neeta Lulla, who presented her exclusive line of wedding apparel curated with the trendsetting jewellery designed by Varuna D Jani.
Elaborate jewellery and designs with a mélange of colours and a blend of the old and new patterns, created a high fashion impact.

Expressing her delight on the occasion Neeta Lulla commented, “It gives me immense pleasure to showcase my wedding couture for 2013 at Shehnaai. Every year the wedding wear trend undergoes a change as brides expect something new. Over the years I have noticed brides are becoming more and more contemporary and that’s the look that I have tried to portray here at the show this evening. Shehnaai 2013 is extremely close to my heart as 25% of the collection of Shehnaai will be donated to Beti, a charity of Anu Ranjan.”
A delighted Varuna added, “Shehnaai is a platform to be associated with the brides and update them with the latest trends in jewellery for their D-Day. Being an ‘adornologist’, I believe in having one to one interactions with the brides themselves and give each one of them my personal attention right from what suits their face, to their choice of stones, to what look enhances their personality. I design jewellery which compliments every individual woman into becoming a showstopper in herself. My mantra for the coming wedding season would be ‘vintemporary’, an amalgamation of contemporary and vintage designs true to the roots and that’s exactly what I have propagated through my collection here at Shehnaai 2013”.
