“Don’t get hyper for everything u also should realize this time he has made some mistakes like Kumbh and elections rallies. It’s time for him to act as a countries PM and take the onus on him and assure everyone he will make it right,” commented a user.

There were many others who supported PM Modi and Kangana, too. “Why you people always blaming Modiji for every reason. We are responsible for this situation, we have not maintained social distancing, not wore a mask, etc. state govt has all rights to take decisions, why they have not taken,” wrote a user.

Elnaaz Norouzi: In Bollywood every actress has to look pretty for every role

Actress Elnaaz Norouzi, who was recently seen in the film “Hello Charlie” feels while Bollywood is undergoing many changes, the industry has to stop looking at actresses as just glamour quotients in the films.

Asked if Bollywood needs to change the mentality of looking at actresses as just pretty faces, Elnaaz says: “It does need to change in our industry. The same notion is not followed in many other film industries but in Bollywood, every actress needs to look pretty and for every role, they have to wear a lot of makeup. It is changing for the better now and I really glad about it.”

“I don’t just want to be part of films where my only job is to look pretty and dance. I also want to take up parts where I can show my acting caliber, just how I did with ‘Sacred Games,” the Iranian-German actress told.

Elnaaz’s role in “Hello Charlie” was that of Mona, a traditional ‘vamp’ prototype of Hindi films who is trying to help her lover and the film’s villain (played by Jackie Shroff) pull off his vile plan. She triggers off an important plot point.

“The primary reason for doing the film was the fact that my character was the catalyst to the entire story being in motion. I remember when my team and I were discussing, whether or not, I should do ‘Hello Charlie’, the most important point that came up was I would be doing something in the film. In a film where there are so many actors, it is easy to forget a character in the whole narrative. It happens a lot, especially to a woman’s character,” says the actress.

Ruhi Singh: Tough to make space in Bollywood if you’re from a small town

Actress and influencer Ruhi Singh say it is tough to make a mark in Bollywood if you don’t have the right backing. The actress, who has worked in films as “Calendar Girls” and “Ishq Forever”, as well as web series such as “Spotlight”, “Bang Baang” and “Chakravyuh”, says an outsider has to be mentally strong to make it in the industry.

“It’s very tough to make space for yourself in Bollywood, especially if you are someone who’s come from a small town like me, and are standing up on your own terms and are a self-made person or a one-woman army. That’s what I call myself,” Ruhi, who hails from Jaipur, told IANS.

“I believe in keeping it simple, I give it my best shot during auditions and hope that someone sees the spark in me and believes in me. It’s easy to say that it’s tough out there and it is, it can dampen your spirit but that’s where mental strength comes into play. I know I am not a quitter and I just continue to work hard on every aspect. I think if you have the talent and skillsets, the opportunities will come your way,” she says.

Talking about her upcoming project web series “Runaway Lugai”, she says: “I am not allowed to talk about ‘Runaway Lugai’ as of now, but I can say that it’s a very entertaining project and I have enjoyed myself thoroughly. It’s a character I have never portrayed before and I can’t wait to see it out in the public domain,” she says.
