Aman, 72, who made a fabulously authentic Instagram debut in February, has suddenly been discovered by millennials and young media once again. Never mind that she trots about to multiple events in the city, like Manish Malhotra's fashion shows, and hardly anyone notices.
Much like Rekha, 68, who barely works, but loves nothing more than dressing up in golden kanjeevarams and temple jewellery and showing up at film functions. I last met her at the Dior fashion show at Mumbai's Gateway of India. She came wearing a dazzling sari, as always, but the foreign press went crazy seeing her in full finery. So, despite Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ananya Panday and Sonam Kapoor also attending, Rekha was made to stand on the runway until the photographers had had their fix of her.

A golden girl
One of India's most formidable beauties passed away earlier this month. The odd thing is she would absolutely hate this obituary; she hated being written about and avoided publicity for all of her nine decades. Indira Aswani was 93 when she died. But anyone who encountered her, even briefly, was in such awe of her grace and poise, and one could not but remember her forever.

On this trip, Robinson and her husband, restaurateur Nicholas Lander, were hosted by the Taj Hotels and Sonal Holland, India's only Master of Wine.

India is not a controlling big brother
Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay considers India a benevolent elder sibling as the \"big brotherly attitude\" is happily missing from bilateral ties. He thinks the relationship shared by the two countries has become a model of friendship not just for the region, but for the entire world. \"India's attitude is definitely not of a big brother who is controlling and does not allow the little brother to blossom and grow,\" says Tobgay in an exclusive interview with THE WEEK.
