It is said that reading is dreaming with one’s eyes open, and a person’s life is incomplete if they have not read a book in their life. Books not only take us to an imaginary world but also give us a new outlook on things around us. They do so much more than we can ever imagine, so we got a few celebrities to talk about the books that they have recently read and how they impacted them.

Rohit MehtaThis year I read a few books but the one that impacted me so much is The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. What an experience! I highly recommend those who are in the creative industry. She has shared some brilliant insights about an artist’s mind, the circumstances he/she goes through misconceptions about success as an artist, and how achievement is glorified in our society. I connected to a lot of things in that book because I am facing all that. The best line of that book that will stay with me forever is “If you want to work on your art, work on your life.” Do yourself a favour and give it a read.

Nirisha BasnettI recently read The Power by Rhonda Byrne. It’s a sequel to the famous book called – The Secret. Everyone should definitely read either of these books because it largely focuses on self-help and finding joy via spiritualism. It imparts a simple philosophy of life which most of us tend to forget that the power to have everything good in life is inside us. The essence is – Power of the Law of Attraction- meaning one can change their life by changing their thoughts.

Charrul MalikThe book is called Bombay After Ayodhya: A City In a Flux by Jitendra Dixit. He is a good friend of mine. In the book, there are so many episodes that tell us how Bombay changed over the years and I learned that as an individual we should keep evolving, we should make ourselves more responsible, and not blame others for anything and everything. I feel it’s not just the police who should check whether law and order are being followed, but as individuals, we should keep it in our mind. If we bring change in ourselves, we would see that change in others too and that’s how a society grows. Each one of us has to think in a responsible way to make our country a better and safe place

Dr. Akash SharmaThe book that I read this year was Trafford’s Trading Club by White Jade of Sunset Mountain. After reading the book I realised human greed has no end, and in the end we might lose more than we gain.

Move over, Bollywood wives—Shalini Passi didn't just crash Karan Johar’s show, she redecorated it in velvet, couture, and eye rolls. This season wasn’t about lives; it was about the lifestyle—Shalini’s lifestyle, to be exact. She didn't just walk onto Fabulous Lives, she glided in with a Birkin in one hand and a savage one-liner in the other, leaving the rest of the cast looking like her very well-dressed entourage. Sumita Chakraborty, Editor-in-chief, TheGlitz, can't get over the Passi Effect that has stormed the nation.
Nepo kids - Janhvi Kapoor, Ananya Panday... are all over in Bollywood, and it is a matter of concern or so I thought! Let me, Sumita Chakraborty, Editor-in-chief, TheGlitz, start with a disclaimer: I have nothing against fluff or star kids. In fact, I thoroughly enjoyed Emily in Paris. It was lively, fun, and the fashion was on point. Sometimes, all you need is a bit of light-hearted escapism, and I’m all for it. So when I sat down to watch Ananya Panday's Call Me Bae, I wasn’t expecting Citizen Kane. But what I wasn’t expecting was just how puerile and soulless it would turn out to be.
In a move that has taken the digital space by storm, travel and lifestyle creator Larissa D'Sa has gone from Instagram reels to the big screen, and TheGlitz is here to give you the inside scoop! Known for her beautifully curated travel content, Larissa has just released her first short film, Beyond Borders and Banter, marking a significant leap in her journey as a creator.

In a world where “ordinary” just doesn’t cut it, celebrities have taken luxury to a whole new level.

Let’s pull back the velvet curtains and let Sumita Chakraborty, Editor-in-chief, TheGlitz take a cheeky peek into the luxe lives of some of the world’s most glamorous stars, including a sportsman who’s as famous for his luxe tastes as his athletic prowess.
Bigg Boss OTT with Anil Kapoor has been trying very hard to live up to the stellar reputation of its big brother, the OG Bigg Boss, Colors hosted by Salman Khan. Unfortunately, though TheGlitz loves 'My Name Is Lakhan' Anil Kapoor, sorry to say, he's no Salman Khan and Bigg Boss OTT looks like a sloppy version of the original show. And to top it, in a recent episode, Armaan Malik slapped Vishal Panday on the pretext that he had made a "lewd" comment about his second wife Kritika who walks around the house, prancing around looking dumb as a dumbbell. And the so-called "lewd" comment from Vishal was "I like Kritika Bhabhi. I'm guilty!"
