Leher Kala writes: Beauty junkies, beware
It is, one supposes, an acceptable pitfall of being the modern equivalent of King Midas that when hosting a glittering wedding in romantic Venice, every aspect will be thoroughly investigated and gleefully analysed. The Bezos wedding provided much grist for the rumour mills, from the foam parties to the love lives of attendant A-listers. Indeed, the vicarious thrill of living the dream is intense. To everyone watching footage of bejeweled guests disembarking the gondolas, what seemed magnified exponentially (and somewhat unusually), was a startling display of décolletage, prompting both — a slew of opinion on plastic surgery, and discussion on when, exactly, does risqué-ness tip over to crass exhibitionism? Acerbic and sharp-tongued anchor Megyn Kelly held forth on the 'bizarre spectacle' asserting that actor Sydney Sweeney was invited because of her 'physical attributes'. A guest on Kelly's show described the 55-year-old bride's features as a 'repository of injectables'. If scantily clad was the abiding theme set by the hostess's penchant for bosom-revealing bustiers, it explains this wedding's attire etiquette, of negligee-style naked dresses and exposed inner-wear. Most prominent though, more than flesh oozing out of tightly laced corsets, were the enhanced lips, fake eyelashes, augmented breasts and face fillers. As another online commentator noted, Bezos' guests were de facto advertisements for their surgeons, who will rely on this footage to show future clients their noteworthy sculpting skills. The righteous, of which there are large numbers everywhere, dismiss the craze for cosmetic improvement as rich-people-problems. Which isn't true anymore. A rhinoplasty or nose job can cost as little as Rs 45,000 in Delhi and is a 90-minute procedure, not requiring hospitalisation. If somebody doesn't want to go through life with a bad nose, and it's not breaking the bank, nor is it dangerous, changing it is a worthwhile investment. We don't think of wearing makeup or gymming as being self-absorbed; if science permits other options, it's no different. But the so-called shallow pursuit of vanity always comes with an unsaid warning of doom, rather than a promise of bliss. Of course, plastic surgery won't solve any existential problems, which haunt us till the end. It does, however, solve the problem of looking in the mirror and being chained by gloomy thoughts of too much nose. Anyone halfway normal knows there are limits to striving for ideals of perfection. Much like we resist a second helping of dessert, most of us would steer clear of repeated surgical dabbling. The Venice extravaganza left the world gawking not just for its 50-million-dollar price tag but also the voyeuristic pleasure of observing those so committed to self-mutilation. What does it say — that the desire to look like an Only Fans model is the current cultural conditioning among those who have everything? It's one thing to indulge in some minor tweaking but entirely another to reconstruct a new self to keep up with the trend everyone's sporting, of a luscious mouth and high cheekbones. In the subversive television drama Nip/Tuck, every episode would begin with two plastic surgeons asking their women clients, 'So, tell us what you don't like about yourself.' Ageing was the inevitable answer. Alas, all attempts to subvert time's winged chariot are futile. Beauty is fleeting. It doesn't last, because nothing lasts. The demise of 42-year-old Shefali Jariwala, allegedly due to unregulated aesthetics treatments, makes her a statistical anomaly but it has some sobering lessons. While doggedly pursuing youth is unlikely to kill us, when it occupies too much mindspace, it prevents us from enjoying this moment, which has so many other wonders.

'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' Box Office Day 2: Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor's romantic drama sees minimal growth; earns Rs 73 lakh total
Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor 's romantic drama Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan witnessed a slight uptick in collections on Day 2, earning an estimated Rs 43 lakh at the Indian box office. The film, which opened to Rs 35 lakh on Friday, has now amassed a total of Rs 73 crore in its first two days, according to early estimates by Sacnilk. Despite the modest growth, the film's overall performance remains underwhelming. On its opening day, it recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of just 9.92%. When compared to Massey's previous outing The Sabarmati Report (2024), opened at an estiamted Rs 1.25 crore. According to sacnilk, the box office report places the film as Vikrant's current lowest earning film. The film also faces stiff competition from Hollywood releases like Superman and Jurassic World Rebirth, both of which scored big over the weekend, raking in an estiamted Rs 9 crore and Rs 7 crore respectively on Saturday. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, directed by Niranjan Iyengar and Mansi Bagla, is a romantic drama that explores themes of love, longing, and emotional vulnerability. The film marks the much-anticipated debut of Shanaya Kapoor, who stars opposite Massey in a story built on music by Vishal Mishra and heartfelt performances. Shanaya, in a recent interview with PTI, expressed gratitude for her debut journey, saying, 'It's all come together and I'm happy with how the journey has been. The ups and downs are meant to happen for me to be here today.' At the film's trailer launch, her father, actor Sanjay, became visibly emotional, admitting, 'I have never been this nervous... Before I shed some tears, thank you.' With its slow start at the box office, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan now relies heavily on positive word-of-mouth to gain traction through the weekend.
