 Hit for a Six
Kiwi cricketer Chris
Cairns is all set to make his catwalk debut. He will be strutting
his stuff with Kim Sharma and Mandira Bedi at a fashion show marking the launch of The Chris
Cairns Foundation in India.
Cairns, who owns a chocolate fudge business back
home, aims to provide education to under-privileged children. Designer Nisha Jamvwal will dress Cairns in a
tie-and-dyed blue denim pin-tucked dinner jacket with jeans. “The denim
look complements his rugged looks,” she says. All for a good cause, eh?

 Seriously Yours
tv star Archana Puran Singh, known for her good comic timing, is
excited about her serious role in Kavi Raz’s The Gold Bracelet. Slated to release later this
year, the film, which won an award at the Cinequest

post-9/11. Now that’s a change from comedy for her.
