Well-known fashion designer Rohit Bal suffered a heart attack yesterday. The designer has since been admitted to Medanta Medicity in Gurgaon. Bal, 42, suffered an attack at his Defence Colony residence and he was soon rushed to the hospital.

Apart from designing for many Bollywood celebrities, Bal also has international clients like Uma Thurman, Cindy Crawford, Pamela Anderson, Naomi Campbell and Anna Kournikova to name a few.

Besides, he is also the brand ambassador of Omega watches since 2001 and has ventured into the hotel business by launching two restaurants – Veda and Cibo - in the capital.

We send out prayers for his speedy recovery.

When you have parents who are already superstars, it’s but obvious that the spotlight will refuse to move away from you. Same is the case with Shazahn Padamsee, one of the front runner actresses of the Bubblegum generation. After having made her impressive debut in Rocket Singh: Salesman Of The Year, Shazahn, surely is on every director’s wish list.

The good news for all the ‘Shazahn-ites’ (need we say who they are!) is that this pretty girl has been signed up as the brand ambassador for Skechers, one of the leading shoe manufactures globally.Shazahn confirmed saying, “Yes, I have been chosen as the brand ambassador for Skechers. I have shot for a print ad, which will be out soon.” One of our confirmed sources added that the reason why Shazahn was chosen was the fact that ‘The company needed a fresh face that can express a thousand emotions with even uttering a word. And also that the said brand was a thousand times careful while choosing their first Indian brand ambassador as its one of the most premium and respectable brands globally. And after scrutinizing many names, they finally zeroed down on Shazahn. And it is indeed a big-ticket ride for the actress also.’

With this deal, Shazahn joins the likes of Britney Spears, Ashley Simpson, Brandy and David Cook, who also endorsed Skechers.
