Make way for ‘Glammas’

When they walk into a room, heads will definitely turn. They’re classy, well-groomed and glamorous. Move over PYTs and make way for the glamorous grandmoms, or, Glammas.
Carole Elizabeth Middleton, mother-in-law of Prince William, recently beat Camilla Bowles Parker to become the most glamorous grandmother in the UK. And back home in India, we have our own contingent of glammas.
Whether it is Sharmila Tagore, Dimple Kapadia or the extremely fit and fabulous Neetu Kapoor, Bollywood has no dearth of glammas.
Sharman Joshi, who plays Rekha’s grandson in Super Nani, thinks his co-star is undoubtedly the sexiest nani in B-town. “I was in awe of her beauty and yes, she looks like a sexy nani. I always complimented her by saying, ‘You look so young and beautiful,’ she would just smile and accept the compliment. I guess activities like a proper diet keeps her fit, healthy and beautiful.
“I also noticed that if it was time for her yoga session, even it was ‘pack up’ on the sets, she would finish her yoga and then leave.”
Neetu Kapoor’s daughter Ridhima, says, “My mum’s fitness regime is her secret. She never misses working out. Also, she is very particular about her diet. I wish I’m half as fit as she is when I grow old, that way I’ll be an inspiration for my daughter as well.”
Hyderabadi too has its fair share of glammas. Minister D.K. Aruna is one such glamma who leaves people in awe. Her daughter Shruthi Reddy says, “My mother has been a vegetarian for a really long time. I think that has helped her stay so fit and fabulous.” She adds, “She follows a strict healthy diet and takes good care of herself. It also helps that she pays such minute details to her wardrobe. She loves her saris and takes extra care of how she dresses up.”
Glamma Brij Sahaney, who owns the Radisson Blu hotel, believes that it’s all about inner peace and happiness. “I meditate. It helps me keep calm and also gives peace,” she explains adding, “I believe if you’re happy and at peace, it automatically shows on your face.” Ask her how her grand-children feel about having a glamorous grandmother, she smiles, “I’m more a friend to them. It also helps to have them around. The way they treat me makes me so happy that I guess it shows.” — Inputs by Lipika Varma
