The ‘Fatty’ Files
Who needs a power suit when you have a custom bag tag and a pup? Fatima Sana Shaikh exits a meeting at Roy Kapur Films in style on Tuesday, proving that the best deals are signed with a side of sass and a little fur
Maharani Moves
Fashion designer Maheka Mirpuri turned the Taj Lands End into a high-octane runway on Tuesday, unveiling her latest collection over chic hors d’oeuvres and even chicer company. Leading the pack wearing Maheka’s Maharani Athleisure line was Sunny Leone, who popped in head-to-toe pink, with nails to match. But don’t let the sharp look fool you — there were zero talons on display. The night was strictly about girl power, solidarity, and supporting a designer whose heart is as big as her guest list.
Maheka Mirpuri and Sunny Leone
While the new threads were the headline, the real glue in this association is Maheka’s tireless philanthropic hustle. “What drew us together was charity,” Sunny shared with yours truly, reflecting on her long-standing relationship with Maheka and her M-CAN Foundation. “We’ve developed such a great bond — it’s always laughs.”
Of course, Sunny wasn’t the only heavy hitter in the room — the evening was a revolving door of nostalgic glamour with Isha Koppikar, Akanksha Malhotra Aggarwal, and Madhoo Shah all turning up to show some love. Between the neon vibes and the genuine sisterhood, Maheka didn’t just launch a collection — she reminded us that the best accessory is always a solid support system.
Going Gaga
It has been a few days since Easter but we’re still aww-ing over Brett Lee and daughter Helena’s celebratory special on social media. Cricket’s favourite rockstar bowler traded his 150 kmph thunderbolts for acoustic melody on Sunday, strumming his guitar while his daughter belted out Shallow for a soulful holiday sing-along. It’s a side of the speedster you’ve got to love — one that feels less like a fierce Aussie competitor and more like a doting, musically-inclined dad.

Of course, for those of us in Mumbai, this musical streak is perfectly on-brand. We still remember when ‘Binga’ became an honorary Mumbaikar, topping the charts with the legendary Asha Bhosle for their 2006 duet, You’re the One for Me. And since his 2011 foray into musical philanthropy for the city’s marginalised children, Lee’s guitar has always had a permanent home in the city. Seeing him pass that ‘sur’ down to Helena feels like a sweet, full-circle moment for a man whose heart — and harmony — is inextricably tied to India.
Sushi and a side of slay
When Kajol isn’t contractually obligated to play the superstar, you’ll often find her flaunting a messy bun, served with a side of no-makeup and don’t-mess-with-me. But April 6 saw the actor looking flawless at our favourite Japanese haunt, Izumi — out for a casual lunch with her inner circle. Seated at a tiny table was a terrific trio — with interior maven Renu Chainani making up the numbers — sharing ramen and revelations.
Kajol
While Gen Z is busy posting ‘candid’ gym reels, the OGs evidently prefer a low-key catch-up and high-quality sushi. Kajol is known to favour Oriental eatery Mizu too, but when something other than gyoza calls, Malaika Arora’s Scarlett House serves as the ultimate private sanctuary. Bandra offers a buffet of backdrops for Kajol and her clan, but the item that has them coming back for more isn’t on any menu: pure, unscripted camaraderie.
Boardroom Bombshell
Another one of Nutan’s nieces is on my radar today — and she’s a power player too. Reshma Chattaram Chamberlin chose to trade a cinematic spotlight for the American dream several years ago — bypassing the family business to create her own brand of stardom. Currently co-founder and chief brand officer at Summersalt (a direct-to-consumer swimwear brand known for being stylish, sustainable, and inclusive), Reshma is making waves on foreign shores.
Reshma Chattaram Chamberlin
Named one of the ‘10 Most Innovative Style Companies of the Year,’ Reshma’s rise with Summersalt saw her recently commanding the legendary Nasdaq board in the heart of Times Square. While that massive New York moment is what grabbed our attention, Reshma has been a quiet force for years — raising an enviable round of funding for her brand, making it to the very magazine pages she once designed, and methodically disrupting the American retail market from her St. Louis headquarters. It’s a masterclass in global brand-building that proves you don’t need a film set to be a leading lady — even when you come from a lineage of silver-screen stars.
