Never watched film with mom: Prachi

PRACHI DESAI SAYS her mother has sacrificed “her dreams for me and I owe everything to her”. She adds that she has yet to visit a theatre with her mom.

The 24-year-old, who started working at the age of 17, said her mother has been her pillar of strength.

“My mother used to teach in my hometown, Panchgani. She left her career and house just to be with me in Mumbai. I was too young at that time. And she supported me throughout,” the actress said.

The actress, who often receives compliments that she resembles her mother, knows everything about her mother: “Her favourite colours are white and blue. I have never watched a film with her, but her favourite movies are Kati Patang and Mera Saya.

The actress was in New Delhi with her mother Amita Desai to launch a survey on mothers done by P&G called ‘Thank You, Mom’.

She admitted never giving importance to her mother’s dreams. “My mother always thinks about me and the family. But I never asked her about her dreams. She says she wants me and my sister to be happy and successful,” said Prachi. power by : www.khaleejtimes.com

Eva Mendes: I Own Awful Clothes

Eva Mendes has admitted the 'horrific' jean shorts she wears in The Place Beyond the Pines are her own.

The actress utilised some of her old wardrobe items to play the part of downtrodden mom Romina in the film.

The 39-year-old joked that some alterations did have to be made so she could fit into the same denims she sported 21 years ago.

'This is not a girl who fusses with make-up or clothing; this is a woman in survival mode, living on bare bones. Those jean shorts, those horrific jean shorts that are so awful, are mine from 1992. I swear. You'll notice they're a little ripped on the side, so we did some tweaking,' Eva confessed to Look magazine. 'They're very ill-fitting and that's what I wanted for her. She's very raw.'

Eva's wardrobe is made up '70s inspired pieces, with is her go-to style era. While she enjoys vintage, there is one element of past fashion that she cannot tolerate. Eva's previously spoken out about wearing fur and even voiced an anti-fur documentary for the PETA organisation.

'Within the fashion industry, I can't believe designers still use real fur in their designs when it's so easy to make faux fur,' she ranted. '[Faux fur] is cheap and it looks great.'
