Meet Made in Heaven's Arjun Mathur; decoding power dressing for men; ruby chocolate - your weekend fix!

We may have seen him in Luck By Chance and My Name is Khan, but Arjun Mathur truly arrived with Made In Heaven, an Amazon web series that spread like wildfire, and is now been dubbed as the ‘best Indian show’ of the decade. After this resounding success, his inbox is probably overflowing with messages from fans, friends, family, and more. But, Arjun responded to our interview request within just a couple of hours. In a candid conversation, we discovered where his acting chop comes from (not from the industry), what his backup plan was, Zoya Akhtar's role in his career growth, and more.

Everyone knows milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate. Say hello to ruby chocolate. When we attended a luxury chocolate making master class by the Master Chocolatiers of Fabelle by ITC, we learnt how chocolate is made, right from the cocoa bean to bar, pralines and ganache. We also learnt about luxury chocolates, what makes them different from the regular chocolates, and tried the newest kid on the block - the ruby.
