After the duo of Soha Ali Khan and Emraan Hashmi,it was the turn of Bollywood beauties Minissha Lamba and Neha Dhupia to grace the city with their presence at Ishanya on October 15. Spending time with fans present for the occasion,the stars had the opportunity to judge mock rooms for the first ever pan-India Interior Designing competition – ASIS Design Warz,in association with Sleek Kitchen. The rooms that were done by the final two contesting teams as a part of the final round of the competition were based on the theme of ‘Celebrity Fantasy’. Post an interesting question session on the décor products and colour theme choices by the contestants,Lamba and Dhupia shared their feedback and selected the winning room. The talented Kanchan Kukreja and Amey Gurkar made up the team,which bagged the first position and were felicitated by Ishanya CEO Tushar Mehta. The runner up position went to the team of Ameya Pingale and Shimayala Kumar.

It’s a spectacular treat for beer-guzzlers and speed demons in the city as Kingfisher is ready to enthuse Puneites by showcasing its Formula 1 racing car at The OctoBeer Fest at Malaka Spice till October 30. This is the first time the car is making an appearance in Pune.Interesting games and Champions League promotions where customers can purchase a wide range of Kingfisher and Force India merchandise and collaterals add to the ambience and excitement of the fest. Consumers can also get their photographs clicked with the racing car and the pit stop girls. Sounds like an all-inclusive experience.
