Summer is high season in Europe—in fact, I just returned from a trip to Paris myself. As an overpacker, I know the struggle of packing light, but it’s better to curate your suitcase space ahead of time to avoid wasting space on things you won’t use.  I’ve thought about what my clients used to ask me as we…

The relationship was definitely rocky, as Khanna’s stardom was gradually declining, and in a recent interview, Advani peeled back the layers of her time with the Hindi industry’s ‘first superstar’, and what all transpired behind the scenes.
