Can You Guess Ananya, Sara's Favourite Pose?

Remember the times when we were constantly reminded by the parents to stand straight, with backs upright, feet together, chin up and grin for the camera, saying 'paneer', showing a little bit of our teeth?

It scored wonderfully back in the day and made for memorable pics in the school yearbook and family albums.

Guess what?

It's the most boooooooring pose ever to attempt now. Yawn.

That's why celebs masterfully push the envelope, thinking of new, creative ways to get that ultimate, break-the-bank, Insta-conquering shot.

So what's trending at the moment? The lazy, too-cool-to-really-care, languid over-the-shoulder glance.

It's B-Town's current parampriya pose. This signature star look brings out their best in every, single frame and is pasted allover celeb timelines, like a new social media rash.

How does it go... Slightly raised front shoulder, head tilted back, locking eyes with the camera, as you give a glimpse of your side profile and highlight deep backless silhouettes or shapely jawlines.

We're sure you wanna buy into this fad and need some tuts on how to do it, right?

Lessons from the bosses...
