The February FHM Girl Next Door – Shivani Singh

Posted on by
45

Who’s She
DOB: August 7
Height: 5’8
Occupation: This girl from Delhi is keen on pursuing her MBA

FHM: We were supposed to see you in a feature film last year, what happened?
Shivani: I hate Delhi. If I had been in Mumbai, I would have completed three films by now.

FHM: Then why are you still in New Delhi?
Shivani: Right now I have a few small projects for which I had to be in Delhi. As soon as I am done with them, I’ll move back to Mumbai.

FHM: As an aspiring Bollywood actress, do you need to workout a lot?
Shivani: Yes, it’s one of the most important things. Not only for those who want to make it in Bowllywood, but also for those who want to live a happy life. I know that a woman without curves is like jeans without pockets, where one does not know where to put your hands.

FHM: When do we get to see you on the silver screen?
Shivani: If everything goes smoothly and as per schedule, then in another five to six months.

FHM: You are a pretty looking girl, so does that mean your female friends get intimidated by you?
Shivani: I would want to sound modest here, but yes even my guy friends do not let me meet their respective girlfriends.

FHM: Oh, so does that mean girls pass comments at you?
Shivani: Haha, yes it has happened to me a lot of times.

FHM: How does it feel when girls hit on you?
Shivani: LOL! I feel bad for these girls because I am straight.

FHM: Hmm, so are you seeing someone right now?
Shivani: I would like to keep things undercover and I follow a golden rule – it is always better to remain single than to carry a meaningless tag around with yourself.

FHM: So what makes you connect with a guy? Shivani: I have a strong intuition and can judge people within the first two or three meetings. Thus, I can gauge the kind of relationship I could have with a stranger and take things forward accordingly.

FHM: And what is the best compliment you have received till date?
Shivani: A lot of people have walked up to me and told me that I resemble Katrina Kaif a lot. But the best compliment I have got till now is that I look better than her.

Tablet Camera

Point and shoot cameras have become boring with little additions/subtractions in the picture capturing modes. That was until Samsung took the leap ahead with the first Android UI based camera. This camera with an incredible 21x zoom makes the most of the 16 MP sensor. Just point, shoot, touch and edit your pictures on a super clear LCD capacitive screen. One of the first of its kinds, this camera lets you wirelessly upload and share your content on various social networking sites or save it on your Dropbox via Wifi or MicroSim capability. The photo quality seems impressive and an internal 8 GB plus an expandable memory up to 64 GB makes it very handy. You can also a download plethora of apps from the Google Play store and use it as a productivity gadget as per your convenience. What we like the most was that it starts up onto a standard Android home screen rather than a camera menu or a shooting mode. It’s super responsive and the menu system is easy to navigate. When using full manual control, the settings fill the screen, giving access to ISO, exposure compensation, and aperture and shutter speed. But the price will make a hole in your pocket considering you’re not paying for a DSLR quality.
Price: Rs. 29,900

Will Not Strip

Posted on by

How do you manage to strike a balance between your pin-up girl image and that of a global brand ambassador for a liquor brand?
I fit in really well between both roles because they work on similar grounds. Both of my roles/avatars revolve around showcasing the glamourous and the good life, both focus on giving pleasure and on both grounds I stand unique in front of the world.

How do you manage to always stay so glamorous?
Well that’s a secret (gives us a naughty smirk), so shh. You have got to have a little bit of luck and a little bit of good looks to stay that way.

50 Shades Of Grey has taken the whole world by storm, do you think it’s blown out of proportion?
Honestly, I have not read the series, but it seems great that women around the world are coming out of the closet and adding a lot of glamour on these lines. A woman’s perception will always sound classier and people will be more intrigued by the same.

Ooh, so are you hinting at doing something similar in the near future?
Well, yes. I am doing my own research for an erotic novel. And I’m sure people will love it.

And what has been your inspiration to become who you are?
As a kid I always wanted to be unique in whatever I do. I dreamt of being glamorous and sensual in my own way and here I am today.

So what is your favorite cocktail made with Cointreau?
I am big Margarita fan. If you are serving me Cointreau then it better be my favorite cocktail called the Cointreau Sutra.

And do we get a date with you if we make you the Cointreau Sutra?
Well, only if you make it my way.

You were in a serious relationship with a girl when you were 20, right? How was it? Is it better being with a man or woman?
I was seeing this girl for just about two months, so it’s a long gone story. And after that it was MEN all the way for me. Though I can’t comment about the other side now as I don’t want to sound judgmental and don’t want to offend anyone.

So Lesbianism – what are your thoughts on that?
(Laughs) Not equipped to answer that.

We hear you’re a vintage collector and own a 1946 Ford and a 1938 Packard One Two Eight – what fascinates you the most about these cars?
I have an eye for perfection and that’s what these cars are all about. What really fascinates me is that even the slightest of details in these cars are handmade and done up beautifully. The vintage era always had things so much classier and suave than what we get today. These cars define who I am and for me it’s of utmost importance that I drive in these cars.

You are going gaga over Indian sarees, will we get to see you in an Indian avatar at one of your shows?
I totally love the Indian saree. It’s a dress that adds a lot of glamour in a subtle way to someone’s personality. I will have to work things out to flaunt a saree in one of my shows, though it’s something that I would definitely want to do.

Bigg Boss is the Indian version of the famous reality TV show Big Brother – if you were contacted by the organisers, will you want to be a part of it?
Reality TV shows are for people whose career are heading towards an end, and as of now I am far far away from that situation.

Last one: How is that you always look so fresh and beautiful?
I guess it’s because of my mother. She still looks young and is definitely beautiful.

The Humble Poet

Posted on by

Girls really dig guys in music”, says Humble, who got his first introduction to his native country through the immensely popular and widely showcased television series The Dewarists. Other than that, he emphasis on the fact that being an artist lets him explore and understand himself due to which he is continuously learning and growing. Following the release of Baagi Music, his first mainstream break, Humble has been gifted with a lot of opportunities. “Performing at the Lollapalooza (North America’s largest music festival) this summer has certainly helped me break into the right circuit with the right people, he tells us.

My dad has been a huge support and since the day he started giving me pointers and advice on my content, I have seen myself as a better performer and artist”, he replies when asked what has been the most influential moment in his life. Humble also firmly believes that it’s important not to concern yourself with the expectations of others, as they have their own priorities and likings, but it feels really good to know you have your family always backing you. His own family has indeed been his greatest source of energy, which has helped Humble come out as a winner through all the challenges.
His style of music is different from what we get to hear and he calls it elite lyrics with music that will stir the mind and the body at the same time. The lad takes pride and holds his head high for being original and aspiring to be the most versatile Hip-Hop artist in the world. “My music style draws a contrast from the lineage of Punjabi/Sikh poets, which does not sacrifice the sonic beauty of sound and the sheer fun of music”, exclaims Canada born Humble, who started his career as a schoolteacher.
So how exactly does Humble fit himself in the world of Hip-Hop? “Like any other competitive area of work, Hip-Hop also holds its biases. “To be accepted, artists need to display proficiency and creativity that is second to none. My ethics shine in my music and everyone recognises that. I have never felt my ethnicity as a hindrance to
my growth as I’m here to push the art form forward and onto the international mindset
where anyone and everyone can love different cultures”, adds
the Poet.

On being asked about his experience at The Dewarists, Humble cannot stop praising Monica Dogra and the Midival Punditz. He firmly believes that the association has been one of the highlights of his career and still maintains a close relationship with both artists. He proudly flaunts a Midival Punditz tattoo that he got inked when performing at the NH7 Weekender, Pune last year.
He also has the highest regards for budding artists in India as he feels Hip-Hop and India can have a great relationship, as long as it’s genuine. If artists in India, or any other non-native English speaking country, make the art form their own, he thinks it will thrive. He wants his fans and budding artists to follow the golden rule of – Always Be Yourself – to reach newer heights in their career. He also insists that practice is what makes your efforts perfect as he thinks that with any skill, you need to invest time and the growth is slow, and sometimes painful, but if a person’s efforts are genuine then he will certainly succeed. Our last question to him is aimed at getting a sneak peek into what’s in store for him for the coming year, to which he replies, “My new album Humble The Poet Presents – 00:002, which will be available for free download by spring 2013 with its first song Bhagat Singh”. Besides the album, Humble is working on trying to pull together an indie film project about some significant events surrounding the first Indian immigrants to Canada. He leaves us with hints about interesting collaborations, “I’m looking to do some heavy collaborations with talent in India, not just musically, but also for visuals, promotion,
and branding.”

Mila Kunis Wants Fifty Shades Ff Grey Role: Men Everywhere Rejoice

Posted on by

You read that right. Mila Kunis has told The Sun that she would have a “good time” playing Anastasia Steele, the protagonist of EL James’ Fifty Shades of Grey. FHM would like to go on a record as saying “we think this is a good idea”.

Kunis said, “There are times when you just want to do something fun and different, because you’re going to have a good time doing it.”

Mila Kunis playing an innocent virgin who’s drawn into the dark world of sadomasochistic sex? That could work. Especially since the screenwriter Kelly Marcel has already said, “It will be raunchy – we’re 100 per cent going there.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ten things you should never type into Google

Posted on by
Reply

10 Young boys strip
Because the police have never heard the, “I was just trying to buy the official kit of Young Boys FC, the Swiss team who played Spurs in the fourth qualifying round of the 2010-2011 Champions League,” excuse before.

09 Google
Typing “Google” into Google is the online equivalent of saying “Candyman” into a mirror three times: yes, probably nothing bad will happen, but what if it does? What if it causes the internet to fold in on itself, like some vast digital black hole, sucking you into its whirling vortex as it slowly implodes, before burping you out, stranded and alone, into a pixellated limbo-wasteland? It’s really not worth the risk, is it?

08 Elephantiasis
According to Wikipedia, Elephantiasis is ‘a disease characterised by the thickening of the skin and underlying tissues, especially in the legs and male genitals.’ These words don’t prepare you for the sheer retina-burning horror of the Google image search, which brings up, among other things, an image of a man sitting in a chair made of his own bollocks.

07 Tub Girl
There are countless revolting images on the internet – if you so wished, you could spend a truly foul evening scrolling through rotten.com, wincing and grimacing and intermittently vomiting into your lap. Perhaps the most infamous of all these images is “Tub Girl”, a jpeg that’s long been deployed as a visual weapon by trolls looking to decimate forum threads. Never seen it? Congratulations. Do not look it up.

06 Bomb instructions
We don’t want to sound like the kind of paranoid conspiracy nut who lines their walls with tin foil to keep out the government’s mind-control rays, but anyone who types ‘bomb instructions’ into Google definitely sets off a big flashing red light and a whoop-whooping alarm at MI5 and the CIA. Also avoid: “How to break into Number 10 and shit on David Cameron’s forehead while he sleeps.”

05 50 things to do before you’re 30
Unless, of course, you’ve: bungee jumped in Zimbabwe, wrestled a crocodile in Australia, made a million, played for your country at football, scaled Everest, canoed down the Amazon, had a disease named after you, built your own house, shagged Keeley Hazell and Kelly Brook, high-fived Barack Obama and cured cancer…?

04 Any item you’ve recently bought
In case you hadn’t noticed, the internet is the ultimate free market. A place where, as long as you’re prepared to type your card details into a security-free holding page with more spelling mistakes than the ‘English menu’ in a foreign restaurant, you can get any item you want for about a quarter of the high street price. So did you really expect the ‘buy now’ option on the jacket you’ve just splurged £200 on to be anything more than £50?

03 The Death Clock
You’ve ignored us and done it anyway, haven’t you? Good one. Now you’re faced with the same dilemma we were. Do you navigate away from the page? Or boldly press on – typing in your date of birth, height, weight and smoking habits so you can discover the exact day the internet believes you’re going to snuff it? You’ve pressed on, haven’t you? Good one. Fucks you up, doesn’t it???

02 Why does my testicle ache?
Hold on a minute, what’s that on my left bollock? Was that there before? Now I think about it, it does feel a bit sore to pee. I’ll just have a quick check on the internet to make sure it’s nothing serious. HOLD ON A MINUTE… ‘symptoms include sensitive skin, tiredness and mood swings’…I have all those! And www.doctorballs.com looks like a totally legitimate site. Uh-oh.

01 Yourself
There are two possible outcomes of Googling yourself: (1) It will return no hits about you whatsoever and you’ll realise that there are loads of people with your exact name who’ve done bigger and better things than you. (2) It will bring up a blurry naked photo of you taken by your ex-girlfriend loaded to mydickheadex.com. Neither of these are good things.
