Get ready for ‘No Shave November’ with the Kabir Singh look
MUMBAI: Shahid Kapoor’s latest blockbuster Kabir Singh seems to show no signs of moving out of the limelight. Fans from across India fell for the character that Shahid portrayed – but most of all, they loved his new rugged and scruffy look. Even celebrities like Alia Bhat and Siddharth Malhotra amongst many others had taken to twitter to share their appreciation for the character’s look. With ‘No Shave November’ right around the corner, Kabir Singh’s massively appreciated beard has set beard goals across the nation.
Bearded looks define a character and also create a signature style; from Amitabh’s iconic French beard to Ranveer Singh’s perfectly shaped goatee, Bollywood has set a benchmark for aspirational facial hair looks. Enter Shahid Kapoor with his Kabir Singh look which took months of dedication and grooming from one of Bollywood’s best hairstylists, Aalim Hakim.
Giving Bollywood’s boy-next-door a new look was to define his persona as Kabir Singh. The director, Sandeep Reddy Vanga insisted that Kabir Singh’s beard should be similar to Arjun’s from the Telugu make of the film – Arjun Reddy.
Getting the bearded look right is a tedious task but with the right routine, achieving maximum results just requires sheer dedication and patience; or in the case of Shahid Kapoor – the added element of charisma and a charming smile.
Jokes apart, Shahid has set the temperature high and his transformation should give every beard-aspirer something to look forward to. Get ready to share your own #NoShaveNovember posts with your favorite Kabir Singh quotes and catch the hunk in all his glory as Sony MAX gears up for the World Television Premiere of Kabir Singh on 29th September 2019 at 12PM.

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Premieres 14 Feb on Zee
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat world TV premiere 14 Feb at 8pm passion meets politics.
MUMBAI: Cupid’s arrow just got a plot twist and it’s heading straight for your TV screen. This Valentine’s Day, Zee Cinema is turning up the heat with the world television premiere of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, a raw, rule-breaking romantic drama that proves love doesn’t always come wrapped in roses.
Set to air on Saturday, 14 February at 8pm, the film stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, directed by Milap Zaveri. It dives headfirst into obsession, heartbreak, and the kind of unconditional love that leaves scorch marks. Rane plays Vikramaditya, a powerful politician whose all-consuming passion for actress Adaa spirals into chaos when his feelings go unreturned unleashing a storm of emotion, misunderstanding, and life-altering consequences.
The timing couldn’t be sharper. Audiences are clearly craving intense love stories over sugar-coated ones, and this film taps straight into that vein. Harshvardhan Rane already has a loyal fanbase from his cult hit Sanam Teri Kasam, which cemented his status as the go-to guy for heart-wrenching romance especially among younger viewers who keep the film on repeat.
Milap Zaveri captured the film’s beating heart, “This film is about love that doesn’t follow rules. With Valentine’s Day being a time when audiences gravitate towards romantic narratives, the television premiere of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat on Zee Cinema felt like the perfect fit. The continued love for intense romances shows there is a strong emotional appetite for such stories.”
Rane himself called it a story rooted in messy, honest emotion, “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat explores love in its most intense and vulnerable form where emotions are messy and deeply human. It’s a story that doesn’t shy away from passion or pain on Valentine’s Day making it even more special as it reflects the many shades of love people experience.”
Sonam Bajwa added her take, “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is not a conventional love story, it’s raw, intense and emotional. Valentine’s Day is usually associated with happy romance but this film explores love in its most vulnerable form.”
So if your Valentine’s plans include more than chocolates and clichés, tune in to Zee Cinema at 8pm on 14 February. Because sometimes the most unforgettable love stories aren’t the ones that end neatly, they’re the ones that leave you questioning just how far passion can push before everything changes.
