Natasa Stankovic walked the ramp at the Bombay Times Fashion Week earlier this year, marked her return to the runway after many years. What made the moment even more special, she shares, was the presence of her son, Agastya, who cheered her on from the sidelines. 'Stepping onto the ramp, I felt such a rush of emotions. I was a bit nervous, excited, and nostalgic at the same time. It was beautiful — like reclaiming a part of myself I hadn't visited in a while.' She adds, 'It was Agastya's wish to come and watch the show, and he really enjoyed it. Later, he said, 'Mama, you were looking so pretty.' He keeps me grounded and reminds me to live in every moment. Yes, I want to get back to work now.' Returning to the ramp stirred a sense of déjà vu for the actor and model. 'It took me back to the early days, when everything was new and exciting. But this time, I felt more present, confident, and powerful," she mentioned. Does this signal more ramp appearances in the future? Natasa doesn't rule it out. 'When you love something, it stays with you. Stepping back into it reminded me just how much I love the art of it. That part of me is still very much alive. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo So yes, if the right opportunity comes along, I'd definitely consider it," she adds. Natasa has previously participated in reality shows like Nach Baliye and Bigg Boss 8. Reflecting on her time in the Bigg Boss house, she says, 'When I was in Bigg Boss (2014), I came across as a very shy person who spoke less. Actually, it was more of a language barrier; I was not able to speak much Hindi then. Also, I felt one had to act in a certain way in the house. I just didn't know what to do. I didn't quite understand the whole concept of the show at that time. Of course, I don't regret anything that I have done. Everything has its own timing, and I'm sure I have learnt something from every experience.'

Khushi Kapoor on Confronting Negative Reviews: 'There's No Point Listening'
Actress isn't chasing noise or numbers—she's focused on finding her footing in the chaos of cutthroat cinema. Three films old Khushi is still enamoured by the love of acting, however, she acknowledges that in her brief stint, she is finding her voice. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Excerpts as followed... 'I feel I have more of a voice now because I've done three films' Talking about her journey so far, the actress who debuted with The Archies shares, "I feel good. It is always nice to keep learning, growing, and putting out new work. The reward for me is doing the work. It's nice to just get new opportunities and explore different roles and keep doing that.' Has the love for acting evolved over the three films? She explains, "The love (for acting) has always been there from the beginning as I've grown up around movie sets. The comfort definitely grows and you become surer of the choices you're making. I feel I have more of a voice now because I've done three films. I can express my ideas and thoughts a bit more. Whereas I think initially when I had just started, I would just kind of be quiet and listen. So now I feel like I can tell that it's a more collaborative process when I work with people because I feel like I can express my thoughts." She adds, "Most of the work happens when you prep for a film, when it comes to character development and stories. I'm able to express my perspective of what I think my character would be and do and just kind of have a collaborative process with my directors." 'The negatives are always going to be there' Every performer must brave the heat of public scrutiny, and so has Khushi. Her performances have received mixed to bad reviews; however, Khushi knows how to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to feedback. Khushi explains, 'You can tell when you, read something or you speak to someone what they mean by what they say. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now I think it's important to take constructive criticism. And if something's not really helping you, I don't think there's any point listening to it.' I like being part of important and good stories Speculations are rife, but Khushi chooses silence over spoilers when it comes to her rumored projects, staying tight-lipped about a possible sequel to Mom - late actress 's last movie. 'I like stories. I like being a part of important and good stories. I don't think right now I'm trying to look for something actively, but I think if I read a good script and I connect to it, then I would love to be a part of it," Khushi tells us. 'My go-to person for anything is always Janhvi' 121270936 While she recently turned heads as the showstopper at the Bombay Times Fashion Week 's Grand Finale, Khushi insists her approach to style is instinctive, not strategic. 'I don't think I feel any pressure when it comes to fashion. The whole point of being fashionable is being authentic to yourself. When you're authentic to yourself is when people recognize you as someone who has a sense of style in fashion. It comes with comfort and just feeling yourself and confidence. So, I don't think I would change it to fit into anyone else's idea of what fashion should be.' And when it comes to fashion fixes or quick advice, her inner circle stays tight-knit, 'My go to person is always Janhvi (Kapoor, actress, sister) when it comes to anything. And then Rhea (Kapoor, stylist, cousin) Didi for fashion advice.'

Palak Tiwari Opens Up About Superstitions and the Pressure of Being a Celebrity Showstopper
Palak Tiwari Last seen in the horror comedy The Bhootnii, Palak Tiwari shares that she's quite superstitious as a person. 'You know I am very superstitious in life in general. I like to keep the same team, same shoes. It is just all in my head,' said Palak who walked the ramp as a showstopper at Bombay Times Fashion Week .So, is there anything superstitious she follows before hitting the ramp? Or how would she react if she gets trolled for accidently tripping on the ramp? While she laughs off the first question, the latter she reacts saying, 'Maybe I will be sad. Cry a little bit. Eat an ice-cream and move on.' And does she take any tips from her actor, mother Shweta Tiwari and she says, 'When it comes to walking the ramp my mom feels very nervous about me. So, I don't know what tips she will give me (laughs).'In an earlier chat with us, Palak who is frequently seen as a showstopper, addressed the issue, calling out the undue pressure placed on celebrities at fashion events. She said, 'There's a lot of judgment and pressure on celebrity showstoppers these days. People need to understand that we are not claiming to be professional models, nor are we trying to take away their jobs. Actors won't ever say that they are better than models with their ramp walks.'The Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan actress further explained the role of celebrities in fashion shows, saying that they simply help bring a designer's vision to life. 'When a designer envisions an actor as a showstopper, we're there to support that vision. I think if they have envisioned you the least you can do is walk for them in a way that makes them proud. A fashion show is about the designer's vision coming to life and if they envisioned me in their design I would be grateful and humble to walk for them. That's all that celebrities add to a fashion show.'
