[ishikaxmehra]

━ INTRODUCING ISHIKA MEHRA.

name: Ishika Mehra

nickname: Ishq (only by close family members), Ishi

birthday: October 26th 1987

age: 37

gender: cis female

pronouns: She/Her

face claim: Deepika Padukone 

occupation: Operations Manager for the Mehra Group of Companies

neighborhood: Skyline Heights (though her family does have a home in Dynasty Hills)

hometown: Devil's Junction, IL

tldr; Ishika Mehra is the sharp and composed Operations Manager of the Mehra Crime Family, running their global money-laundering empire with modern expertise and ruthless efficiency. Known for her calm authority and strategic mind, she is both feared and respected in Devil’s Junction’s underworld. Fiercely loyal to her family, Ishika quietly maneuvers behind the scenes, always a step ahead in securing their legacy and power. As a native of Devil's Junction, she knows all the ins and outs of the city. There are often times she fights with her older sibling, essentially her 'boss' over their methods, knowing that with the world changing they need to adapt to more modern methods. Perhaps one day she might try to stage a coup and take over as well, who knows?

b i o g r a p h y ;

Ishika Mehra is the poised and calculating Operations Manager of the Mehra Crime Family, one of Devil’s Junction’s six founding crime syndicates. As the younger sister of “The Banker” Mehra, the family’s current head, Ishika has carved out a crucial role in the family’s vast money-laundering empire. Born into privilege but raised with the weight of expectation, Ishika grew up watching her elder sibling transform their family business from local moneylending to an international criminal enterprise. While her older sibling cultivated the family’s public image and alliances, Ishika honed her skills behind the scenes. She attended the London School of Economics, excelling in finance and earning a reputation as a prodigy in high-stakes money management. Upon her return to Devil’s Junction, Ishika took charge of the family’s day-to-day operations, introducing advanced laundering methods and expanding their influence across North America and Europe. Her contributions have not only modernized the Mehra empire but also solidified her position as the second in command and her sibling’s most trusted ally. Ishika’s personality is a blend of sharp intellect and unwavering composure. She exudes an air of quiet authority that commands respect, making her indispensable in managing the family’s intricate financial web. While she supports her sibling publicly, their relationship is layered with complexity. The other’s traditional methods occasionally clash with Ishika’s forward-thinking approach, but their shared loyalty to the family binds them together. Ishika is often the mediator during internal disputes, a role she performs with cool efficiency. In Devil’s Junction, Ishika is both respected and feared. She maintains delicate truces with rival families, while deftly countering the unpredictable chaos brought by certain groups alike. Her motivations are clear: to safeguard her family’s legacy while ensuring they remain at the pinnacle of the city’s criminal hierarchy. Although she operates in her sibling’s shadow, whispers suggest that Ishika is quietly positioning herself as the true power behind the Mehra empire. Pragmatic and opportunistic, she views Devil’s Junction’s current unrest as both a challenge and an opportunity to reshape the city’s balance of power to her advantage.

h e a d c a n o n s ;

Ishika’s wardrobe is an enviable mix of contemporary high fashion and traditional Indian couture; there are often times she can be found blending silk sarees with modern power blazers. She is always impeccably dressed, signaling both her heritage and her status.

Ishika is a chess enthusiast and often likens her family’s operations to a game of chess, where she’s constantly planning several moves ahead.

She’s deeply loyal to her family but is unafraid to challenge the decisions they make behind closed doors, always striving for what she believes is best for the family.

Ishika’s calm demeanor and sharp wit make her the family’s go-to person for delicate negotiations, often diffusing tense situations with ease.

She rarely shows fear or anger, even in the most volatile situations, earning her the nickname “Ice Queen” among those who know her.

Ishika has a knack for understanding emerging financial technologies, which she uses to stay ahead in laundering and tracking money.

Ishika keeps her personal life a mystery.

Ishika tries to stay deeply informed about the other crime families’ inner workings, keeping an elaborate dossier of key players, alliances, and weaknesses.

She starts her day with yoga and chai, using the quiet time to center herself before diving into the family’s operations.

Known for her dry wit and sarcasm, Ishika can deliver a cutting remark with a serene smile, leaving her opponents often intimidated.

Ishika heads a charitable foundation that provides small business loans to struggling entrepreneurs, a front for laundering money and recruiting potential assets.

She believes in striking first but with precision, avoiding unnecessary conflict unless it secures a significant advantage.

Despite being entrenched in the criminal world, Ishika finds solace in classical Indian music and dance, often attending performances to reconnect with her heritage.

Art is a very big part of her life; she's often found at art shows to collect pieces for her own home and the family home.

c o n n e c t i o n s ;

I saw Jawan today and ...

The last film I saw on a big screen was Ponniyin Selvan, Part 2, and before I went to see Jawan I had a talk with myself. "Self," I said, "although I don't know much about this movie, I know that it is not directed by one of India's greatest directors, nor is based on a classic series of novels, nor is the sequel to the previous film which had well-developed, memorable characters even in smaller roles, played by extremely good actors. So do not expect, Self, that this will give you the same kind of experience that the PS films did."

And with that said, no, this definitely didn't give me the same kind of experience but it was really fun to see one time in a theater with friends.

Big, big, VERY BIG ENORMOUS SPOILERS. Don't read if you haven't seen the film and you want to be unspoiled.

Much like my PS2 theatrical experience, I MISSED THE FIRST TEN MINUTES AGAIN, ARGH! I was counting on previews and they didn't have previews, I guess? However, I don't think I missed out on as much as I did by missing the first ten minutes of PS2.

There were lots of things I liked about Jawan, so I'm going to start with those:

The good:

It was fun seeing a bunch of South Indian actors like Priyamani and of course Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi. (More about them later.) Oh, and I did like the mini-Family Man reunion with Priyamani and the actress who plays her character's daughter Dhriti on that show :D (If only Manoj Bajpayee had been in this and/or Raj & DK had written the script, this would have been a different film altogether.)

SRK is very charming, but much more so in the second half when he was playing the much more age-appropriate Vikram Rathore. I'll get to why I liked Vikram Rathore more in the parts that I DISLIKED but I also loved that Vikram was very funny. (I always love when SRK is slightly taking the mickey out of himself which he did in the second half of the film. And I cracked up when he asked Suji if she was also his kid.) I would watch a whole entire movie of Vikram Rathore doing cool stuff.

I liked the girl gang concept a lot (I would have even liked it more if the boss had been Kaveri Amma and not SRK, but I don't think the movie would have ever been made if that were the case) and I liked all the individual actresses.

Nayanthara - she was fabulous as the task-force cop and looked so good doing action scenes. I love her.

Deepika Padukone - she's so gorgeous and I had some Om Shanti Om vibes with this, which is a movie that I really love. And the emotional parts were pretty good too.

While the political messaging was extremely heavy-handed, I did like that it came up in the movie, especially the part about voting. (When they stole the voting machines, I couldn't help but wonder if the scriptwriters had been listening to any of the insane election 2020 denialism in the US :P Was Hugo Chavez behind any of this? :P) However, maybe the script would have been tighter if they had targeted ONE social ill, instead of all of them?

Vijay Sethupathi - I will always just really like him whatever he's doing, because I'm like a duckling about movies and I imprint on actors based on what I first saw them in*, and I saw VJS in Farsi first, and loved him in that. SO ...

There was enough humor that I didn't feel like it was entirely taking itself seriously which is important in this kind of a film (though you didn't have to show people rolling around laughing to cue us to laugh, director Atlee!!) Let your script do its thing, dude! (Oh, wait, I forgot that the script was ... the script that it was. Which brings me to the bad):

The bad:

I'm sorry but the de-aging VFX for SRK was honestly a bit creepy - people drag Nayanthara for having work done, but I'll take her still-human face over the plastic-y face Azad. When he pulled the bald sock thing off his head, I really thought he was going to peel off his entire face and show "normally aged SRK" but nope!

I just threw up my hands and laughed when they discovered Deepika was pregnant just by taking her pulse. Why do they even make pregnancy tests, am I right? And I don't know about India, but surely they would have you know, taken her blood group etc. when she was first incarcerated?

Which brings me to my VAST apology to all Tamil movies in which I have shaken my head in disbelief that a man who repeatedly has his head whacked with a metal bar or banged into a concrete pillar doesn't even have a concussion, let alone a skull fracture. No, compared to Jawan, you are all PINNACLES of realism! Because SRK was shot five times, thrown out of an airplane that was above the cloudline, fell into a body of water and didn't break any bones, AND banged his head on a rock and apparently just suffered some slight amnesia. Um, ok then! (I think the part where the dude finds him and says he's keeping his promise to Azad might have been in the first ten minutes that I missed, so maybe there's some explanation for why he didn't die - but for now, I just have to assume he was the incarnation of Grigorii Rasputin. And I will almost certainly never watch this movie a second time, so it will just have to remain a mystery unless someone can explain to me in the comments or something.

The music was completely forgettable. There wasn't a single song that I can even remember the tune of, nothing catchy, no memorable lyrics etc. That WAS disappointing.

Random new subplots that made NO SENSE. Like what was the whole thing about stealing the elections with mafia money? Why was that even in there? And if it had to be in there, why didn't the SRKs just leave him to the mercy of those people who would have murdered him inventively for losing their money? And if they just wanted SRKs to kill him the way he got Aishwarya killed, then why include that subplot? None of that subplot made any sense at all. (Actually very little of that plot made any sense.)

Another thing was the women's jail/rest home. If that is prison, I am surprised more people weren't clamoring to be incarcerated. It looked much nicer than living on a farm. It was super clean and they seemed to have a ton of freedom even before Azad became the warden.

The way Nayanthara was completely sidelined in the second half. I also have no idea why she decided to marry SRK after five minutes. (And they totally stole her costumes in Chaliye from the Kannala Kannala song in "Thani Oruvan" - a far, far better song than any of the songs in Jawan. (See below)

So all in all, I did enjoy the film and I'm glad I saw it, despite its flaws. But this is not a rewatch for the nuances type of film!

*Kay Kay Menon, Tabu, and Shahid Kapoor fan for life because I first saw them in Haider. Which is definitely the best movie Shahid Kapoor has ever made, but Farzi was really excellent too and Shahid and Kay Kay were in it alongside VJS. Watch eeeeeeet!

Celebrity-Inspired Looks with Kurtis and Pants

If there’s one fashion trend that continues to rule both the runways and real life, it’s the kurti set. Whether it's a casual coffee run or a film premiere, celebrities are turning to stylish kurtis and pants to strike the perfect balance between comfort and glamour. And let’s be real — who doesn’t want to add a little celeb flair to their everyday ethnic wardrobe?

In this post, we’re decoding the top celebrity-inspired looks with kurti trousers, giving you all the tips you need to recreate them like a pro (even without a stylist or a Bollywood budget!).

Why Celebrities Love Kurti Sets

Effortless Style Meets Everyday Wear

Let’s face it, celebs are always in the spotlight. But when they step out in breezy, beautifully styled kurti sets, they remind us that fashion doesn’t always mean fancy. Sometimes, simple is striking — especially when it fits just right.

Red Carpet to Airport — They’re Everywhere!

From Kareena’s crisp whites to Alia’s playful florals, kurtis and pants are a go-to for Bollywood’s best dressed. And whether it’s a designer launch or a weekend getaway, they always seem to make it work.

The Evolution of the Kurti Set in Bollywood Fashion

From Traditional to Trendsetting

What was once just festive wear has now become an all-occasion outfit. Thanks to Bollywood, the kurti set has been reimagined into airport wear, power looks, and even date-night ensembles.

Western Influence Meets Indian Elegance

Think belted kurti trousers, blazer-style kurtis, or cropped kurtis and pants — today’s styles blend cultures just like the stars who wear them.

Decoding the Celeb Look: Kurtis and Pants Edition

Let’s break down the most iconic Bollywood looks and how you can rock them your way.

Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Classic Cotton Kurti Set

Kareena’s off-duty look often includes clean, crisp cotton kurti sets in white, pastel, or earth tones — always paired with comfy flats and oversized sunnies.

Style Breakdown: Pairing with Minimal Accessories

To recreate her vibe, go for straight-cut kurti trousers, simple oxidized earrings, and a tote. Keep it effortless but elevated.

Alia Bhatt’s Printed Designer Kurti Set Game

Alia plays with youthful prints — florals, checks, even abstract art — all while keeping her look soft and feminine. Her designer kurti set choices are often lightweight and flowy.

How to Recreate the Look on a Budget

Look for rayon or cotton blends with soft prints. Pair your printed kurti and trousers with block heels and a crossbody sling to keep it chic.

Deepika Padukone’s Structured Kurti Trousers Look

When Deepika goes ethnic, she chooses bold structure — think tailored kurti trousers with long-line kurtis and sleek makeup. It’s all about silhouettes and strength.

Statement Bags and Sleek Hairstyles

Take a cue by going monochrome and pairing your kurti set with a box clutch and a neat bun or ponytail.

Kiara Advani’s Ethnic Fusion Look with Kurtis and Pants

Kiara’s style is youthful with a global edge. She’s often seen in slit kurtis and pants paired with sneakers or metallic flats.

Mixing Casual and Classy Like a Pro

Try mixing traditional embroidery with sporty cuts — maybe a front-slit kurti with jogger-style kurti trousers. Throw on hoop earrings and you're done!

Styling Tips to Get the Celebrity Vibe Right

Focus on Fit and Fabric

Celebs never wear ill-fitting clothes — and neither should you. The key to rocking kurti sets like a star is tailoring. Don’t settle for saggy pants or boxy kurtis.

Monochrome or Color Play? Follow the Star Cue

Feeling bold? Try a head-to-toe ivory look like Sonam Kapoor. Want playful? Go for color-blocked kurtis and pants like Sara Ali Khan. Let your mood lead the way.

How to Build a Celeb-Worthy Kurti Wardrobe

Invest in a Designer Kurti Set or Two

Every wardrobe needs a hero piece — a go-to for special occasions. A designer kurti set with subtle embellishments or a unique silhouette instantly ups your glam quotient.

Mix Basics with Statement Pieces

Pair a basic kurti with embroidered kurti trousers, or a detailed kurti with plain cigarette pants. It’s all about balance — just like the stylists do it.

Trending Bottoms: Which Kurti Trousers Are Celebs Wearing?

Straight-Cut Magic

Clean lines never fail. A straight-fit trouser flatters every body type and adds instant polish.

Flared and Palazzo-Style Trousers

Stars love palazzos for their drama and ease. Pair them with short kurtis or even peplum styles for a fun twist.

Cropped Pants and Cigarette Cuts

These are perfect for layering, making your legs look longer (yes, even without heels!) and pairing effortlessly with most kurtis.

Celebrity-Inspired Looks for Different Occasions

Airport Look: Chic and Comfy in a Cotton Kurti Set

Channel Kareena or Katrina with oversized shades, a soft cotton kurti set, and leather flats. Don’t forget the giant tote!

Brunch with Friends: Breezy Kurtis and Pants

Go floral or pastel with a sleeveless kurti and trousers combo. Add platform sandals and a cute sling bag — casual but cute.

Evening Soirée: Designer Kurti Set with Heels

When in doubt, go glam. Choose a designer kurti set with gold accents, smoky eyes, and heels. You’re ready for any party.

Final Thoughts

You don’t need a movie deal or a red carpet invite to dress like a star. With the right kurtis and pants, some style inspiration, and a few accessories, you can create celeb-worthy looks from your everyday wardrobe. Whether you’re channeling Deepika’s structure or Alia’s prints, the key is to wear it with confidence. So go ahead — own your inner fashion icon, one kurti set at a time.

Read this: The Dialogue Between Angelo (POW) and Deepika Padukone (@deepikapadukone):

Dear Deepika,

I would like to ask you to begin collaborating with Indian architects to draft the blueprints for our future palace in Mogadishu, Somalia.

Here is the list of the five Indian architectural firms I mentioned earlier:

B. V. Doshi (Vāstu Shilpā Consultants)

Hafeez Contractor

C P Kukreja Architects (CPKA)

HCP Design, Planning & Management Pvt. Ltd.

Studio Lotus

I want you to take your time with this project. You must focus entirely on the architectural design and ensure that every detail is flawless.

Deepika asks: — "What kind of palace do you have in mind? What architectural style are you envisioning?"

Angelo (POW) responds: — "I want our future palace to be inspired by my two favorite Indian palaces. See below:

Umaid Bhawan Palace, located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India.

The Udai Vilas Palace, by which I mean The Oberoi Udaivilas, a renowned luxury hotel on the banks of Lake Pichola in Udaipur, Rajasthan.

Now, let us examine the surface area of both palaces and combine them:

Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur: Covers approximately 26 acres of land.

Oberoi Udaivilas (Udai Vilas Palace), Udaipur: Situated on a 200-acre estate.

By adding these together: 26 acres (Umaid Bhawan) + 200 acres (Oberoi Udaivilas) = 226 acres.

Thus, the total combined surface area of Umaid Bhawan Palace and Oberoi Udaivilas would be 226 acres."

Deepika says: — "So, this is your vision? You want the Indian architects to use these two palaces as a reference while designing the new palace in Mogadishu, Somalia?"

Angelo (POW) replies: — "Yes, precisely. That is what I want for my royal palace in Mogadishu, Somalia—a 226-acre palace that merges the architectural brilliance of both Oberoi Udaivilas (Udai Vilas Palace) and Umaid Bhawan Palace. When you blend the designs of these two iconic structures, you get my dream palace."

Deepika approves: — "This is an extraordinary idea for a royal palace. I will discuss this with the Indian architects and emphasize that we want a 226-acre palace, reflecting the architectural grandeur of Oberoi Udaivilas and Umaid Bhawan Palace. This will be the foundation of our palace in Mogadishu, Somalia."

Angelo (POW) adds: — "Also, do not forget to include accommodations for our royal guards and their families, as well as our domestic staff and their families."

Deepika responds: — "Yes, I am aware. The 10-story building rule for the housing of our royal guards and domestic staff has been clearly established. I read about a similar royal palace being constructed in the Mudug region. I know the protocol for providing shelter to our staff and guards. I read your blog posts every day, so there is no need for you to repeat it. I understand everything perfectly."

Angelo (POW) sighs with relief: — "Thank you. I am glad I do not have to repeat myself constantly. You have no idea how exhausting it is to explain everything over and over again on my blog. I do it because many of my readers are not highly educated, so I ensure that I provide them with detailed explanations to help them follow the content. A large portion of my audience struggles to comprehend my posts, so I do this for them."

Deepika nods: — "Yes, I have noticed that you always explain everything in depth. It is admirable that you take the time to make complex ideas accessible to less-educated readers. It allows them to learn at their own pace and understand our discussions more clearly."

Deepika then asks: — "Now tell me, what is the budget for our royal palace?"

Angelo (POW) declares: — "I will allocate $3 billion for the construction of our royal palace in Mogadishu, Somalia."

Deepika is astonished: — "$3 billion! So the royal palace in Mogadishu will cost $3 billion, while the other royal palace in the Mudug region is valued at $2 billion. That brings the total cost of both royal palaces to $5 billion."

Angelo (POW) clarifies: — "Inform the Indian government that we need them to finance the $3 billion construction cost. We will repay the loan later. This palace will serve as a historic political center in Somalia, and it is crucial that history records that it was funded by the Indian government. Future generations will remember that this royal palace in Mogadishu was built by Indian architects and financed through an Indian government loan."

Deepika, intrigued, responds: — "You are thinking about the history books? I never imagined that our royal palace would be documented in both Indian and Somali history."

Angelo (POW) affirms: — "Yes, this will be recorded in the history books of Somalia and India. That is why it is imperative that the Indian government funds the project and that Indian architects design it. This will create a lasting bond between the two nations, something the Somali people will never forget."

Deepika reflects: — "I had never considered this before. This means that in the year 2125, a century from now, historians will look back and say: 'This palace was built through the financial support of the Indian government and designed by the most brilliant Indian architects of the year 2025.' These are the types of historical connections that last for centuries."

Angelo (POW) smiles knowingly: — "Now that you fully understand everything, do you realize what this ultimately means?"

Deepika asks curiously: — "What does it mean? Enlighten me."

Angelo (POW) explains with certainty: — "It means that the moment I become King of Somalia, you will immediately receive authorization to secure the $3 billion in funding and commence construction. The Indian government will finance it, and Indian architects will build it. But you must wait until I am officially crowned. As soon as my kingship is recognized by the United Nations General Assembly, I will authorize the construction of our royal palace in Mogadishu."

Deepika, now fully grasping the vision, exclaims: — "I understand everything now! As soon as you are formally enthroned as the King of Somalia by the United Nations General Assembly, the international community will recognize you as the de facto Monarch of Somalia, and at that moment, I will have the $3 billion loan to build our royal palace in Mogadishu. This sounds like an incredible plan!"

Angelo (POW) nods confidently: — "An incredible plan indeed. Goodbye, Deepika!"

Deepika laughs: — "Goodbye, Angelo!"

P.S.:

Synopsis of the Letter:

Angelo (POW) writes to Deepika, requesting her to collaborate with Indian architects to design a royal palace in Mogadishu, Somalia. He provides a list of five prestigious Indian architecture firms and instructs her to focus on every architectural detail with precision.

In their conversation, Deepika asks about the style of the palace, and Angelo explains that it should be inspired by two of his favorite Indian palaces:

Umaid Bhawan Palace (Jodhpur)

Oberoi Udaivilas (Udai Vilas Palace, Udaipur)

He calculates that their combined surface area is 226 acres, which will define the size of the future royal palace in Mogadishu. Deepika approves of the idea and assures him that she will communicate this vision to the Indian architects.

Angelo reminds her to include housing for royal guards and domestic staff, to which Deepika responds that she is already aware of the 10-story building rule for their accommodations. She acknowledges his efforts in explaining complex matters on his blog for less-educated readers, and he appreciates her understanding.

The conversation then shifts to budget discussions, where Angelo states that the palace will cost $3 billion, with an additional $2 billion allocated for another palace in the Mudug region, totaling $5 billion. He proposes that the Indian government finance the construction through a loan, which the Somali royal family will repay later. This, he argues, will ensure that the palace is remembered in history as an Indian-funded and Indian-designed landmark, strengthening the bond between India and Somalia.

Finally, Angelo clarifies that construction can only begin once he is officially recognized as the King of Somalia by the United Nations General Assembly. Deepika understands and agrees to wait for his enthronement before securing the funding and proceeding with the palace's construction.

The letter ends with both expressing excitement about the grand vision for the future royal palace in Mogadishu, Somalia.

From Local Voice to National Icon: Vaishali Made’s Unstoppable Journey with 'Madanmanjiri' at NDTV Awards 2025

Mumbai | March 2025 – The voice that once stunned India on a reality show stage is now echoing across national headlines. Vaishali Made, Maharashtra’s pride and India’s melodic powerhouse, has just won the prestigious NDTV Entertainment Award 2025 for Best Playback Singer for her mesmerising rendition of ‘Madanmanjiri’. But this award is not just about one song—it’s a glowing tribute to her unstoppable journey in the world of music. Let’s rewind and revisit the career of a singer who turned her voice into a revolution—and became a symbol of consistency, culture, and craft.

It All Started With Sa Re Ga Ma Pa – A Voice That Silenced the Nation

Vaishali Made first captured the hearts of millions as a contestant on Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2009. From the very first episode, her rich, soulful voice set her apart. Each performance wasn’t just a song—it was a statement of talent, hard work, and destiny. Placed under Himesh Reshammiya’s Rock Gharana, Vaishali delivered hit after hit, never missing a note or an opportunity to impress. She proved to be: • Versatile: Handling classical, folk, and Bollywood tunes with equal ease • Fearless: Taking on the toughest compositions without hesitation • Consistent: Winning hearts every week with impeccable singing And when the finale came, India had already decided — Vaishali Made was the voice of the people. She won the show and secured a Rs. 50-lakh music contract, a Hyundai i10, and a place in music history.

Playback Queen in the Making: From TV Shows to Cinema Screens

After her big win, Vaishali didn’t fade like most reality show stars. Instead, she skyrocketed into playback singing for both regional and Bollywood cinema. Her voice has lit up Marathi television with unforgettable title tracks like: • Kulvadhu • Honar Soon Mi Hya Gharchi • Majhya Navaryachi Bayko Each melody carried her signature emotional depth, instantly connecting with audiences and making her a household name across Maharashtra. But her talent couldn’t be contained in one state.

The Bollywood Breakthrough: Grand, Glorious, and Goosebumps-Worthy

Vaishali Made’s Bollywood journey began with a bang. Her duet ‘Hum Tum’ in the film Damadamm! alongside Himesh Reshammiya introduced her voice to a national audience. But it was in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus, Bajirao Mastani, that Vaishali truly owned the spotlight. She gave her voice to not one, but two iconic tracks: • Pinga (with Shreya Ghoshal) • Fitoori These songs became anthems, not just because of the visuals featuring Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, but because Vaishali’s voice gave them soul. She later joined forces again with Shreya Ghoshal for ‘Ghar More Pardesiya’ in Kalank, cementing her name among Bollywood’s most respected playback singers.

And Now... Madanmanjiri – A Masterpiece Worthy of the NDTV Award

Vaishali’s 2025 win for ‘Madanmanjiri’ from the latest Marathi movie Phullwanti is more than just an award—it’s a celebration of years of dedication to her craft. The song blends timeless poetry with modern composition, and her rendition has been described as: “A song that touches your heart before it even reaches your ears.” Her control, expression, and ability to carry cultural richness into commercial music is what makes this track a standout. The NDTV Award only confirms what her fans have known all along — Vaishali Made is in a league of her own.

Why Her Career Journey Stands Out

Unlike fleeting fame stories, Vaishali’s career has been built on skill, not shortcuts. Here’s what makes her journey unique: ��� Talent First: Whether on reality shows or big screens, it’s always about the voice. • Rooted in Culture: Proudly Marathi, but universally appealing. • Consistently Relevant: From 2009 to 2025, she’s stayed at the top of her game. • Fearless Evolution: From folk to film, from TV to classical, she’s done it all. • Award-Winning Performer: Every stage she steps on becomes her home.

Final Note: She Didn’t Just Win Awards, She Won Hearts

From the stage of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa to the glittering red carpet of the NDTV Entertainment Awards 2025, Vaishali Made has proven that true talent, when backed by hard work, can last decades and break boundaries. Her journey is a living example of what happens when discipline meets passion. Congratulations, Vaishali Made! Maharashtra sings with pride.

Giving Back to Music: The Vaishali Made Music Academy

Success didn’t stop her from giving back. With her Vaishali Made Music Academy in Goregaon West, Mumbai, she is now mentoring the next generation of singers. Whether it’s teaching the art of Ghazals, playback singing, or stage performance, she ensures her journey becomes a path for others to walk on.

1. Purpose of the Letter

The letter’s main purpose is to inform Deepika Padukone of a significant and personal gesture made by Angelo: dedicating the song "Feel Something" by Chris Brown to her. This is not a casual action but a deliberate and meaningful choice, as the song holds deep emotional and personal significance for Angelo.

2. Background Context

Angelo explains that the song is part of his "Angelo Playlist"—a private collection of songs not shared with others in a personal way. He clarifies that this particular song has never been dedicated to any woman before.

Key Insight: This detail emphasizes the exclusivity and rarity of the gesture, elevating its importance.

3. Significance of the Dedication

4. Analysis of the Song’s Meaning

Key Insight: This admission reflects vulnerability and a willingness to open up about his emotions in a way that invites trust and understanding.

6. Selectivity in Sharing Songs

Angelo explains his carefulness in sharing songs with women. Some songs, like "Feel Something", are considered “off-limits” due to their deep personal significance.

By choosing to dedicate this song to Deepika, he is making a deliberate exception, which further highlights her unique place in his heart.

Key Insight: This point reinforces the exclusivity of the gesture and the importance he places on it.

7. Clarity of Message

He wants her to understand the depth of thought and emotion behind this gesture.

Key Insight: This acknowledgment of potential misunderstanding shows Angelo’s care in ensuring his words are received as intended.

8. Closure and Space to Reflect

Angelo concludes the letter by giving Deepika the space to process this information in peace.

This respectful approach indicates his understanding of the gravity of the gesture and his patience in awaiting her reaction.

Key Insight: This ending creates a sense of emotional maturity, showing that Angelo values Deepika’s autonomy in responding to his message.

Summary of the Letter’s Structure and Intent

Introduction: Establishes the unprecedented nature of the gesture.

Main Body: Explains the song’s significance, its connection to Angelo’s emotions, and why Deepika is uniquely deserving.

He describes the song as deeply personal, passionate, and intimate, emphasizing that it holds special meaning. Angelo explains that he is very selective about sharing such songs and considers Deepika the only woman worthy of this honor. While he hasn’t yet felt the intense passion the song represents, he believes he will in the future. The letter conveys his admiration and anticipation, concluding with an invitation for her to reflect on the significance of this dedication.

Lisez ceci: Le dialogue entre Angelo (POW) et Deepika Padukone (@deepikapadukone):

Chère Deepika,

J’aimerais te demander de commencer à collaborer avec des architectes indiens afin de préparer les plans de notre futur palais à Mogadiscio, en Somalie.

Voici la liste des cinq cabinets d’architecture indiens que j’ai mentionnés précédemment :

B. V. Doshi (Vāstu Shilpā Consultants)

Hafeez Contractor

C P Kukreja Architects (CPKA)

HCP Design, Planning & Management Pvt. Ltd.

Studio Lotus

Je tiens à ce que tu prennes ton temps. Il est impératif que tu te consacres entièrement à ce projet architectural et que chaque détail soit exécuté à la perfection.

Deepika me demandera alors : — « Quel type de palais as-tu en tête ? Quel style architectural désires-tu ? »

Angelo (POW) répond : — « Je souhaite que l’architecture de notre futur palais soit un mélange de mes deux palais indiens préférés, à savoir :

Le palais Umaid Bhawan, situé à Jodhpur, au Rajasthan, en Inde.

Le Udai Vilas Palace, ou plus précisément The Oberoi Udaivilas, un hôtel de renom établi sur les rives du lac Pichola à Udaipur, au Rajasthan.

Voyons maintenant la superficie de ces deux palais et combinons-les.

Le palais Umaid Bhawan, Jodhpur : environ 26 acres de terrain.

L'Oberoi Udaivilas, Udaipur : construit sur un domaine de 200 acres.

Si nous combinons les deux : 26 acres (Umaid Bhawan) + 200 acres (Oberoi Udaivilas) = 226 acres.

Ainsi, la superficie totale de notre futur palais sera de 226 acres. »

Deepika dit : — « Donc, si je comprends bien, tu veux que les architectes indiens s’inspirent de ces deux palais pour concevoir le nouveau palais à Mogadiscio, en Somalie ? »

Angelo (POW) répond : — « Exactement. C’est la vision que j’ai pour notre palais royal à Mogadiscio. Je veux un palais de 226 acres combinant les styles architecturaux du Oberoi Udaivilas et du Umaid Bhawan Palace. Lorsque ces deux conceptions seront fusionnées, nous obtiendrons mon palais de rêve. »

Deepika acquiesce : — « C’est une idée merveilleuse pour un palais royal, j’approuve entièrement. Je vais en discuter avec les architectes indiens et je leur préciserai que nous souhaitons un palais de 226 acres, inspiré des styles architecturaux de ces deux célèbres palais indiens. C’est ainsi que nous vivrons dans notre palais à Mogadiscio. »

Angelo (POW) ajoute : — « N’oublie pas de prévoir des espaces pour notre garde royale ainsi que leurs familles, sans oublier le personnel domestique et leurs proches. »

Deepika répond : — « Oui, je sais. Il y a une règle imposant un bâtiment de dix étages pour loger notre garde royale et notre personnel domestique. J’ai lu à ce sujet, notamment concernant l’autre palais royal en construction dans la région de Mudug. Je connais parfaitement les exigences pour offrir un hébergement adéquat à notre personnel. Je lis ton blog quotidiennement, inutile de me le répéter encore. Je gère. »

Angelo (POW) sourit : — « Merci. Je suis soulagé de ne pas avoir à répéter sans cesse les mêmes choses. Tu n’imagines pas à quel point il est épuisant de tout expliquer sur mon blog. J’essaie d’être clair car beaucoup de mes lecteurs n’ont pas eu accès à une éducation avancée. Je fais en sorte de leur fournir des explications détaillées pour qu’ils puissent comprendre mes articles, qui sont parfois complexes. »

Deepika acquiesce : — « Oui, j’ai remarqué que tu détailles toujours énormément tes explications. C’est bien que tu prennes le temps de le faire pour les lecteurs moins instruits. Cela leur permet d’apprendre à leur propre rythme et de mieux comprendre nos discussions. »

Angelo (POW) opine : — « Exactement. Il est essentiel de ne pas oublier que tous mes lecteurs n’ont pas le même niveau de compréhension. J’essaie de rendre mes explications accessibles à tous. »

Deepika enchaîne : — « Je vais discuter de tout cela avec les architectes indiens que tu as mentionnés. Cependant, j’aimerais savoir : quel est le budget prévu pour notre palais royal ? »

Angelo (POW) annonce : — « Je consacrerai trois milliards de dollars ($3 milliards) à la construction du palais royal à Mogadiscio, en Somalie. »

Deepika réfléchit et dit : — « Trois milliards de dollars. Donc, le budget du palais royal à Mogadiscio est de $3 milliards, tandis que l’autre palais royal, dans la région de Mudug, vaut $2 milliards. Cela fait un total de $5 milliards pour nos deux palais royaux. »

Angelo (POW) précise : — « Tu peux dire au gouvernement indien de financer la construction avec un prêt de $3 milliards, que nous rembourserons plus tard. Ce palais deviendra un centre historique majeur pour la politique somalienne. Il est primordial que les livres d’histoire mentionnent qu’il a été financé par le gouvernement indien et conçu par des architectes indiens. C’est ainsi que les générations futures se souviendront de notre palais royal à Mogadiscio. »

Deepika est étonnée : — « Tu parles des livres d’histoire… Je n’avais jamais envisagé que notre palais royal serait mentionné dans les archives historiques de l’Inde et de la Somalie. »

Angelo (POW) explique : — « Oui, dans tous les livres d’histoire de la Somalie et de l’Inde. C’est pourquoi il est crucial que le gouvernement indien finance le projet avec un prêt royal. L’architecture indienne et le financement indien seront gravés dans la mémoire collective. Ce sont des choses que le peuple somalien n’oubliera jamais. »

Deepika réalise l’importance de cette décision : — « Je n’y avais jamais pensé sous cet angle… Cela signifie que notre palais royal sera toujours évoqué en 2125, un siècle plus tard, dans les livres d’histoire. On dira qu’il a été construit grâce au gouvernement indien et conçu par les plus talentueux architectes indiens de notre époque, en 2025. Ce genre de récits traverse les siècles, car l’histoire se souvient de qui a construit le palais et de qui l’a financé. Cela renforcera les liens entre la Somalie et l’Inde. »

Angelo (POW) sourit : — « Je suis ravi que tout soit clair maintenant. Puisque tu as compris l’enjeu, tu sais ce que cela signifie, n’est-ce pas ? »

Deepika intriguée : — « Que veux-tu dire ? Éclaire-moi. »

Angelo (POW) annonce avec assurance : — « Cela signifie que dès que je serai officiellement proclamé Roi de Somalie, tu auras le feu vert pour obtenir le financement de $3 milliards et lancer la construction du palais royal à Mogadiscio. Le gouvernement indien fournira les fonds et les architectes indiens en dessineront les plans. C’est ce que tu n’avais pas encore compris. Tu dois attendre mon couronnement, qui sera officialisé par l’Assemblée Générale des Nations Unies. Une fois que l’ONU et la communauté internationale auront reconnu ma légitimité en tant que Monarque de la Somalie, nous pourrons enfin bâtir notre palais. »

Deepika acquiesce avec un sourire : — « J’ai tout compris. J’attendrai ton couronnement officiel par l’ONU, et une fois que tu seras reconnu comme le roi légitime de la Somalie, j’obtiendrai le prêt de $3 milliards et nous construirons notre palais royal à Mogadiscio. C’est un plan brillant. À bientôt, Angelo ! »

Angelo (POW) : — « Un plan brillant, en effet. À bientôt, Deepika ! »
