Ira Sone: The web can be tricky and overwhelming, especially when you do a bold scene

Actress Ira Sone, who began her acting career in 2007 with the popular show ‘Kumkum: Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan’, shares her experience of doing web shows and why she is not so keen to do bold scenes.

She says: “The experience was underwhelming because there is a thin line between bold scenes and the content is absolutely bold; this thin line makes a huge difference, and in my case, the bold scene backfired because it took over the story and the content.”

“The content was really good, but the character got overshadowed because of the number of scenes that were in the show. The web can be tricky and overwhelming, especially when you do a bold scene.”

The actress, who has been part of ‘Woh Rehne Wali Mehlon Ki’, ‘Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat’, ‘Saat Phere: Saloni Ka Safar’, ‘Saath Nibhaana Saathiya’, and many more says that many of the TV actors are doing OTT projects but her experience is not that great.

As she says: “I believe the web is the bridge between TV and movies, and I see a lot of TV actors doing some quality work; however, I have had a very underwhelming experience.”

She adds: “Television has a different audience that certainly can’t accept their bahus playing anything beyond a bahu. The format of TV and web scripts is very different, and I’m hopeful that in time we can see things changing.”

‘Bigg Boss 16’: Housemates aim at contestants on hitlist for eviction task

In the upcoming episode of ‘Bigg Boss 16’, a unique nomination task titled Crime Scene will be announced, which is conducted in four rounds.

For each round, ‘Bigg Boss’ appoints a killer who will have to kill one out of two housemates, who belong to rooms three, four, and six by shooting them with a rifle. Each of the two potential victims will have to make a convincing pitch on why they must survive (in the task and the house) and the other deserves to be shot (nominated).

The two housemates can offer rishvat’ to the killer and it is up to the killer to decide if it’s valuable enough to spare the housemate. Once the killer arrives at a decision, he/she must state their reason for shooting (nominating) them.

Along with the fear of nomination, the drama and fights remain constant.

The fight in this episode is cleverly engineered by Archana Gautam who pits Tina Datta and Sumbul Touqeer against each other knowing well that the equation of the duo has soured. Provoking Tina, Archana complains that her bedroom (Room of four) is messy, and no one works as much as Sumbul in the house.

She instigates Tina by alleging that she keeps chanting hygienic hygienic’ but being hygienic doesn’t mean looking good or wearing fancy clothes. Tina succumbs to the instigation and defends herself by claiming that she cleans the room and warns Archana to avoid getting arrogant with her.

Tina is enraged that Archana thinks that Sumbul does chores, and she doesn’t. Her other contention is that Sumbul doesn’t stand up for her while allegations of untidiness are being leveled against her. Shalin Bhanot, who has a soft corner for Tina, reasons with Sumbul over her not speaking in Tina’s favor when hygiene is being discussed.

This doesn’t go down well with Sumbul who thinks that Shalin should have no say in standing up for people by reminding him of his earlier betrayals. While Shalin, Tina, and Sumbul are bickering, Archana jumps with joy at having accomplished her mission to create chaos.

Amid all the drama, Sajid Khan and Abdu Rozik’s Long Son Short Son Show’ brings a dose of comic relief. Sajid and Abdu hosted guest Shiv Thakare, who asked a series of fun questions. Will you marry Archana Gautam to retain captaincy? Who will you save between Ankit Gupta and Priyanka Chahar Choudhary if their plane is about to crash? Who’s a bigger fighter between Abdu and Hazbulla? Who will you shoot between Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia and Abdu Rozik?

Bhumi said: “I’m actually thrilled that filmmakers can feel that I can really work hard and try and pull off any role that they offer me. That to me is the biggest validation for my work and my skill set as an artiste. My character in ‘Govinda Naam Mera’ is me trying to do something disruptive again, trying to change it up again with each film and hopefully wowing people with my performance.”

She added: “I hate to be put into a mold and I constantly look to challenge the status quo and do something subversive. I’m delighted that audiences are loving my character in the trailer.

Varun Dhawan, Abhishek Banerjee used to mimic Akshay Kumar’s comic timing

Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan and his ‘Bhediya’ co-actor Abhishek Banerjee recalled how they used to mimic Akshay Kumar during the shoot of their film and try to follow his comic timing for perfection in their performance.

Varun shared: “I remember, during the first schedule of Bhediya, we were shooting in Mira Road and it was my first scene with Abhishek. And, Kriti would come from Bachchhan Paandey’s shoot, and seeing her, we would start acting in Akshay Kumar Ji’s style in every scene. Kriti would actually start and later on, we would jump into it.”

Known for his action roles, Khiladi Kumar is also popular for his comic characters in movies such as ‘Bachchhan Paandey’, ‘Housefull’, ‘Welcome’, ‘And Khatta Meetha’ among others.

Abhishek added: “Akshay sir’s comedy timing is the best. Whenever we are confused about the approach to a scene, we would start talking or acting like him. When his energy gets into you, your performance gets better automatically.”

Varun also went on to praise the host of the show, Kapil Sharma for his contribution to comedy and for making the genre popular among the audience.”There was a stigma around comedy as a genre but Kapil has broken that stigma. In our country, people assume that the ones who are dumb do comedy whereas, in reality, people who do comedy are intelligent and wittiest of all,” said Varun, who is appearing on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show for the promotion of his upcoming film ‘Bhediya’ along with Kriti Sanon, Abhishek Banerjee, Deepak Dobriyal, and director Amar Kaushik.

‘The Kapil Sharma Show airs on Sony Entertainment Television.
