23 Fashion Tips From Govinda That’ll Definitely Make Girls Call You On Your Mobile Number

If there are two things that gave Govinda the title of Hero Number 1, it's got to be his sense of humor and of course his clothes. With a wardrobe straight out of some Jamaican Alien movie, Govinda's eclectic clothes have forever been etched in our memories for ages to come. If ever there was one man who deserved the title of "90s Style Icon" it'd undoubtedly be our very own ChiChi. Fashion critics have slammed it since forever but we don't care because we think whether weird or bizarre, he surely carries it off with confidence.

So, to shut his critics up, once and for all, here are 23 of Govinda's style tips for generations to come. 

1. Always always have golden designs on your black shirt. Ladies love that!

2. Make your black ganji stand out by complimenting it with a jacket that makes it seem as though a tree is growing on you.

3. Sometimes as a celebrity, you might want to blend in to the crowd.

A coral camouflage jacket should do the trick.

4. When you go on a date, keep it simple yet stylish. A cut sleeve denim jacket should guarantee a second date.

5. All you men out there with summer parties lined up, listen up.

A must have for your wardrobe is the long trench coat that makes you look like a magician-ghazal singer.

6. Speaking of parties, the one party where you really need to look sharp is a pool party.

A nice fluffy bathrobe is your best friend on this occasion.

7. If you're entertaining guests at your home, what you wear will set the tone for the whole night.

That's why black ganji combined with a pink scarf will be the way to go. Of course holding a guitar and a bike helmet for no reason will accentuate the look.

8. When you're a ladies' man, taking them out on bike rides is a regular thing.

A biker jacket that accentuates your man-cleavage and has weird goth zippers stuck on it will ensure her eyes are always on you.

9. This look will work in winters and summers.

Full denim get up with leopard-python-zebra prints thrown around generously will make sure you keep making those Page 3 headlines. 

10. This is a formal dinner look which I would recommend to all men out there.

Multicolor shirts which is buttoned up all the way to top and sun glasses to go with it. Your dinner date will be less interested in her food and more into you - the main course.

11. Crotch-hugging pants and body-tight full sleeve t-shirts is to men what 'white tee and jeans' is to women.

Sport it any day on any occasion and you'll look chic yet subtle.

12. This is my 'boy caught in a man's body' look which was showcased in Milan in '94. I think it's self-explanatory. 

13. Every man needs one favourite tux in his wardrobe.

I recommend the one with fit in lights on the sleeves & collar. Guaranteed to make you the Hero Number 1.

14. It's of utmost importance that your style comes across as simple yet chic especially while you're travelling.

That's why I recommend this look which is a mix between a zebra and a prisoner. 

15. A lot of college going men write to me asking how they can look cool.

"Leather gloves, jacket, denim cap and a satchel". That's what I tell them. And don't worry about pulling off this look in front of your college authorities because "tera principal bhi ChiChi ka fan hai."

16. If you have it flaunt it.

That's my advice to all the young men out there having second thoughts about unbuttoning their pink shirts till their bellybutton. As you can see this look is a winner throughout the year. 

17. Photoshoots are one place where you need to look your best.

Especially if you've got a gorgeous woman next to you. Making a dress out of the leftover gift wrapper from Christmas and wearing tin foil as a neck piece almost never fails. 

18. Whenever I go to a club I go dressed to kill.

White Suit with a white bow tie and a white Cricket Hat to top it off is the ideal look for clubs and discotheques. You may have noticed how this look inspired Big B in The Great Gatsby.

19. People say it's difficult to carry off a yellow shirt with streaks of red and blue.

That's why I hire a group of men, dress them in yellow and have them follow me around. Sometimes, you have to have unorthodox fashion accessories. 

20. Just because you're at home doesn't mean you don't look your best.

And of course not wearing sunglasses indoors is a fashion faux pas. 

21. This style tip goes out to all my fans and friends who are in the sports field.

Jerseys and shorts are so 2013. Polo tee shirt with your sweatshirt tied around your neck and giant studio headphones resting on your shoulders. That's the new in vogue sports look. Also try doing something weird with the hair, always works.

22. On occasions when you wish to keep it simple and classy, go for something low-key like this look I'm sporting here.

Graceful, elegant yet stands out in a crowd. 

23. Remember this tip lads. When in doubt always always wear blinding blue.

Make sure your shades are on otherwise you might just end up blinding yourself. 

That's it from me. Keep it Stylish. Keep it ChiChi.

7 investment lessons from Rakesh Jhunjhunwala

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is a qualified CA and has chosen trading in stocks as his profession. Many consider him as the Indian version of Warren Buffet.

He is also sometimes referred to as 'The Golden Hand' of Indian stock market. People believe that everything he touches (invests) turns to gold.

Such is his popularity that there are people who track his portfolio and invest in the same companies that he invests.

So, what's his secret of success? What are his investment strategies which have made him a billionaire? Let's see what we can learn from him.

Buy for long term

Though he is investing in the stock market, he is not a short term trader. He invests in stocks for the long term. And this strategy has paid off for him. Some of the stocks he owns have multiplied his wealth over the years.

Had he sold them the moment they appreciated by 10-20 per cent, we wouldn't have been talking about him now.

Belief in India's growth story

He is one of those guys who believes strongly in India's growth story. He says again and again that Indian economy will keep growing. So, be a part of it.

The only way you can be a part of a growing India is to invest in its stock market. If you are investing in debt instruments like fixed deposits or bonds, you will not be able to reap multifold returns by any means.

Search for value

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala believes in value oriented companies. He has his team who helps him in finding companies which offer value in the long term.

If the stock prices of these companies are higher now, he tends to wait a bit, but finally gets his hands on them.

Before buying a stock, he closely studies its management style, growth potential, competitive nature and many more factors.

One cannot create wealth through free advice

In an interview given to Mumbai Mirror, he has said that one cannot make wealth through borrowed advice.

You need to do your own research before making any investment. Free advice can actually cost you later.

If you blindly follow someone's free advice, you might not be paying them anything now but you will realise later when those investment turn out to be duds. That loss can be a lot more than the fees that you pay for an expert's advise.

Invest only in what you know

He invests only in companies whose business he can understand.

He does not opt for complex businesses.

'Keep it simple' is his strategy when it comes to investin

Consistency

If it's done once, it could be a lottery. But if it's done again and again, we call it consistency. This is what Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is known for.

He consistently invests in the stock market irrespective of the conditions. The quantum or strategy of investing can differ based on those conditions but he has never left his belief that stock market will always deliver for you if you do everything right.

Success comes from failure

It's not that he has not tasted failure. Some of his investments have also been duds.

He believes that success springs out of failures. If you fail, instead of crying over it you should know why you have failed. Did you not read the business well? Were the markets hit by some bad news?

These are some questions whose answers he wants you to search.
