Team Guiltybytes got in conversation with none other than but Farhan Akhtar and asked him a few questions. Here’s an exclusive Interview of Farhan with Guiltybytes.

GB: From your Journey of being a Writer, Director, Actor, Singer which role has been the toughest?

FA: Honestly I don’t know how to answer this one as it’s a very tough question. I think If you have the Passion and the motivation in life that keeps them going then there are no boundaries and no role is difficult. I try and give 100% in everything that I do and focus on one thing at a time.

GB: You trained so hard for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag what was your inspiration behind it? 

FA: The sole inspiration behind the movie was the man himself Mr Milkha Singh. I had promised him that I would make the movie with utmost dedication and so I dedicated 2 yrs of my life to the movie. I reminded myself that if he could work so hard to achieve his goal, then I too must put in all my efforts to justify this role.

GB: Which actor in Bollywood is your favourite?

FA: It’s very difficult to say which actor is my favourite; as every actor works very hard but if I had to, I would say Mr Amitabh Bachchan as I have grown up admiring his work.

GB: Since you are such a Music enthusiast which Musical band is your favourite?

FA: I have grown up listing to Beatles and Elvis. So yeah they are my first favourites in Musical bands.   

GB: What Inspired you to make Lakshya? 

FA: Lakshya holds a very special place in my heart. It was a calling of a young man finding his feet, how it took him away from his comfort zone. We spent 5 months in Ladakh, the whole experience was very special.

GB: Lakshya is one of my favourite movies of you, being from armed forces myself I can tell you it has inspired a lot of youth to join the armed forces, infact in army it is called the “Lakshya Casuality”! what message do you have for the youth to inspire them further to be a part of the Army?

 FA: Laughs… Really is that what they are called??? It is a privilege of any Actor or a Director to be able to inspire anyone with their work. And to be able to inspire the youth of the country to join the Armed forces is indeed an achievement. My message to them would be that serving the nation by joining the Armed forces is the biggest honour, so more and more youngsters should join the Armed forces . All the best.

GB:  What are your upcoming projects?

FA: My upcoming movies are Shaadi ke Side Effects; I am also doing a movie with Kareena Kapoor – Bombay Samurai directed by Dev Benegal. 

The 59th Idea Filmfare Awards for 2013 are all about commemorating the magic of the movies and paying tribute to unforgettable starts, films, song, dialogue and celluloid memories.

For a lot of us, the whole point of under eye concealer is to hide the fact that we have been all night out partying or working late. But if the concealer is not being used correctly, then we end up highlighting the problem area instead To avoid a reverse-raccoon look, stick to these top 3 tips when it comes to choosing concealer.

It’s easy to assume that the lighter your concealer, the better it will hide your dark circles. When you go too light, however, it makes it impossible to blend in with your foundation. Stick to a color that’s no more than one shade lighter than your skin, and always apply it before your foundation and powder.

2. Watch out for concealers that promise to “brighten.”

We all want brighter skin, but using brightening concealers isn't the way to do it. These formulas generally have light reflecting particles that draw attention to your problem area instead of camouflaging it. Reserve light-reflecting products for underneath your brow bones and along your cheekbones.

3. Sheer it out.

Many concealers have thick formulas to help cover your dark circles. Thicker can sometimes be more problematic than helpful, though. Mix your concealer with a tiny amount of moisturizer before applying and then build on as you need.

Hope this help you guys in getting a perfect concealer for your beautiful skin tone. Don't always look for expensive products, but go in for products that are value for money, even if they come cheap. After-all the price tag is not going to help it look good, but the technique is!  

Tired of showing up double chin in your photos? Still figuring out why does your photo show a haunch back? Well, Today I have got answers and tricks that will help you look slim and prettier in your photographs! Today's post is inspired from my favorite blogger Evelina Barry.

Even before I write a new post, I research a lot in magazines, websites, blog et al. I love to draw inspiration from many, before I finally decide to pen it down on Guiltybytes. There are credits available for most of the sources, but some don't have any and that's where people can get ticked off (a realization from my last week's experience), So I have made up my mind that I am going to, no matter what dig in the source and feature the same so that this world becomes a happy place for all artists!

TIP #1
To avoid showing double chin, touch the tip of your tongue to your mouth palette (upper side of the palette) while you show off your smile. It's easy, just touch the tongue tip on the upper palette, hold for 2 seconds and smile and that's exactly what I do. ;)



TIP #2
If you have a broad torso, simply angle sideways while posing. This doesn't mean that you need not pose upfront, it simply means that you turn your body slightly sideways so that it forms a beautiful silhouette that will ultimately make you look less broader in your photographs.


TIP #3 
Most of the girls hate the way their arm appears in a photo. Its because no matter how narrow your arms are, if they are placed flatly they are going to look bigger. For this, you need to casually place your arm on to your waist, no, you need to pose like a model literally, just place it in a playful manner or hold a clutch under your armpit if you don't want to pose like that.


TIP #4
So you are just way too tired of looking at heavy legs, your own heavy legs when you wear a dress in a photo? Well the trick to less heavy legs is to fold the ankles. So while your are sitting, don't cross legs, instead cross ankles. And when you are standing, cross ankles again, though your legs will be crossed too slightly. This is going to elongate the way your legs look in a photo.


TIP #5
To avoid any tension from the torso and heavy bottoms, just straighten your back while you are posing. We are all lazy, lousy people and we think it looks cool when you just pose like BLAH, but the truth is that the photos come out to be more heavier than your origioriginal size. To avoid this, just straighten your back, know your angle right, tilt your chin a bit low and pose!


Additional Tips- Tilt your chin a bit low to highlight the structure of the face or your jaw line. Avoid getting clicked from a position wherein your camera is placed below, being a curvy Indian type, we appear to be FAT and yes know your angles right, I know mine and that helps me in all my photos, really!

Since the 1950's, cat-eye sunglasses have gone in and out of style. Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly all wore the feline-inspired frames in their heyday, and stars like Jennifer Lopez, Dita von Teese and Salma Hayek channel the look today. 

I chose to wear a self designed shirt for these vintage shades, military inspired, the DIY will be up soon on the blog. And I think there isn't a better colour than the colour white itself when you really want you highlight one of your accessories! My white lace dress is a street find and the tan leather shoes are from my Agra trip. It's really important to know the pair of shades for your face type. To find out what suits you best just walk in to a sunglasses store and try basic frames like round/oval/square/rectangular. Then when you find the correct shape, look for different colors and frame tips!

You too can get these extremely light and extremely beautiful pair of shades from Choies.com for $20.99. This international website has a very easy payment policy and the shipping takes not more than 8-10 days! There are plenty of options to choose from in-terms of clothing, footwear, accessories et al.

Our very own PC walked the ramp for international designer Michelle Bohbot on the fifth day of Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) winter/festive 2013. Looking stunning in a one shoulder black peplum top, she said that the quickest way to look all fresh is to apply a red lipstick on the lips! Well the chica did blow away a lot of people off ramp with her lips, lip kisses, flying lip kisses precisely! 

The pants, I so loved them on Priyanka. It feels like forever since we saw some wearable clothes on ramp, and Bisou's collection showcased a much edgy clothing this fashion week. The messy tied hair complimented the all black outfit and made PC look like an international star truly.

And the kisses, well she gave a lot of them and ended up putting it all on the designer saying- "This is a standard for all of Michelle's shows. She had told me that it is their signature statement to blow a flying kiss to the audience."
