Lekha washington

Behind the wooden doors of an ancestral property in Bandra’s quaint Ranwar village, Lekha Washington’s design space, The Upstairs Studio, is buzzing with activity. As I head to the upper storey, I find the actor-designer-entrepreneur in the middle of several works in progress. Keeping her cool in a casual-chic grey robe and strappy silver Steve Maddens, she explains that she and her team, grouped across the room, are grappling with several projects — from an upcoming test run at Bandstand, of the installation she is showcasing at this year’s Burning Man festival, to four new designs (including a moon light) for her company, Ajji. Meanwhile, Shanto, the pet cat, snoozes, curled up in one of her signature Squair chairs. Chatting about the neighbourhood, now home for the past five years, gives me a fair idea of her easy familiarity with the people and the culture of the place. And also the fact that while Washington may not be acting at the moment, the frenetic pace of her life has not calmed in any way. “I am a dissatisfied soul. I’ll finish a great project and then feel the need to do something big in a totally different field. I need to be constantly evolving,” she says. Just this year, she teamed up with luxury vodka brand Belvedere for their artistic endeavour, Studio B — creating A drop of the universe, an artwork speckled with tiny white dots, that is at once like a disco ball apt for a launch party and an enigmatic spatial body reflective of her current style of work....

Housed in a 150-year-old building, Lekha Washington’s charming studio, Ajji, is tucked away in the quaint Ranwar village of Mumbai’s Bandra suburb. The renovation, which began three years ago, was recently completed in association with Asian Paints. The soft-spoken artiste, who juggles many hats including that of an actor, sculptor and product designer, describes the vibe of the space as relaxed. “I find some design spaces to be forbidding and pretentious, and I’d like for my studio’s vibe to be laid-back. I’d also like it to be exciting, or moving in a way, for it to spark off something in the people interacting with the space,” says Washington, who recently added ‘lyricist’ to her dossier. The 29-year-old wrote the lyrics for two songs in the Vishal Bhardwaj-directed war-romance, Rangoon . Insider view In the studio, Washington’s famous Dot chair adorns one wall, while a large slug-shaped fabric — which is synced to one’s breathing and has a bed underneath it — is on another. Her other products and installations span out across the area. Washington admits that she moved into the studio four years ago because her products are rather large and she wanted to think in scale. The studio attracts a variety of creative people — poets, writers or anyone interested in open discussions. Washington says that even though Ajji houses only her work currently, and is the office she operates out of, she enjoys dialogue and wants to create a space for it. Living large “Ranwar village is ...

“As an actor, there have been many incidents of discrimination and of being sidelined, and I think other actors will tell you the same thing. But I haven’t let it affect me. I haven’t changed much, I am as enthusiastic as I used to be. I am a little more cynical and skeptical about the way the world works, but I am not a shrinking violet. I just continue to live on my own terms and don’t really care what people think. But yes, there is a lot of conflict with being a woman, especially when working in films. It is very dark, and it is misogynistic. As an actor, I have had to deal with quite a lot of shit, but as an artist or designer, it’s a lot less in-your-face. Of course, there’s patriarchy and it’s widespread in various places, and subtle in others. But I can’t spend my life wallowing in self-pity, so it’s just a question of dealing with it. There was one incident that was particularly funny. It’s not a key one that makes me cry at night, but it’s one I’ll definitely remember forever. A Tamil film director was offering me his film. He drove me around and kept asking “what will I get in return?”. I sort of played dumb, and said: “maybe a good actor”. But he kept persisting and finally, I snapped and said, “you know, I am not going to sleep with you.” He was quite taken aback but kept trying to convince me. Needless to say, I didn’t get the role, but I’m glad he brought it up at the onset. And I was fine with it because it meant not having to deal with continuous harassmen...

Imran Khan and Avantika Malik dated for a long time before eventually tying the knot in 2011. However, the marriage didn’t last long and they revealed their separation publicly. It has been almost a year now and both have maintained silence over the same. Several reports claimed that the consequent fights between the couple were the reason behind their separation. However, now the latest report claims a different reason behind their alleged separation. According to Bollywood Hungama, the biggest crack in Imran Khan and Avantika Malik’s marriage was caused by a third wheel. A source said to the publication, “Imran and Lekha have been seeing each other for some time. Lekha’s husband Pablo Chatterji and Imran were close buddies but a roaring affair between the two started without anyone’s knowledge. In fact, after Avantika moved out of the bungalow, Imran has started introducing Lekha to his circle as well. This has also brought Lekha’s marriage on the brink of a breakdown. Both the families are completely scattered at this point.” The report further claims that the Delhi Belly actor has apparently rented or bought a place near his own house, to meet his new ladylove. A neighbour said to the publication, “Lekha can be spotted going in and out of the building in the wee hours. It is very close to his own house at Pali Hill, Bandra. Imran is waiting for the divorce to come through to announce this new relationship.” Meanwhile, Imran Khan’s estranged wife Avantika Malik recently...
