Rhea Chakraborty pens moving note for Sushant Singh Rajput

Actress Rhea Chakraborty has shared that she will never come to terms with actor Sushant Singh Rajput not being around anymore and said she is still struggling to face her emotions.

For the first time since Sushant’s demise, Rhea took to Instagram to express her state of mind and emotions through a moving note.

“Still struggling to face my emotions.. an irreparable numbness in my heart.
You are the one who made me believe in love, the power of it. You taught me how a simple mathematical equation can decipher the meaning of life and I promise you that I learned from you every day. I will never come to terms with you not being here anymore,” she wrote on Instagram.

The actress continued: “I know you’re in a much more peaceful place now. The moon, the stars, the galaxies would’ve welcomed “the greatest physicist “with open arms. Full of empathy and joy, you could lighten up a shooting star – now, you are one. I will wait for you my shooting star and make a wish to bring you back to me.”

Rhea also shared two photographers from the happy moments that the two spent together. In the pictures, they are smiling, beaming with joy, and look at peace in each other’s company.

Rhea said that words can’t express her real state of emotional turmoil.

She said: “You were everything a beautiful person could be, the greatest wonder that the world has seen. My words are incapable of expressing the love we have and I guess you truly meant it when you said it is beyond both of us.

“You loved everything with an open heart, and now you’ve shown me that our love is indeed exponential. Be in peace Sushi.
30 days of losing you but a lifetime of loving you,” she added, and signed off the emotional post by writing: “Eternally connected… To infinity and beyond”.

On June 14, Sushant was found hanging in his Bandra residence by his domestic help, which left the industry and his fans shocked. He was reportedly battling depression over the past few months and undergoing treatment.

Singer Rahi Sayed: I feel responsibility to represent youth of Kashmir

The Kashmiri singer-songwriter Rahi Sayed is quite overwhelmed by the response to his new single “Sarmast”. He says, coming from a place like Kashmir, he feels a certain responsibility to represent the youth of the state in the right manner.

“I absolutely feel the responsibility to represent the youth of Kashmir in the mainstream. We need more representation. I live in Srinagar but my father is originally from Pulwama, the place where the attack happened (in 2019). When I am interviewed just after the release of the song, people find it hard to believe that a singer-songwriter is coming from Pulwama, a place that they looked at as a ‘bombed place’. But Pulwama is not that. Our Kashmir is beautiful. So, I think it is a big responsibility for me to show Kashmir the way it is, not the way it is shown,” Rahi told IANS.

He added: “Every time when tourists come to Kashmir, they usually say that ‘we have heard so much (of the negativity and violence) about Kashmir but this is nothing like that’. My friends keep asking me if it is safe to visit Kashmir and I keep telling them that of course, it is. We are very hospitable people. We even open our doors to strangers and show our hospitality. I want people to know this side of reality too.”

“Sarmast” is written in the tribal language of Garo and Rahi has composed it besides singing the song. According to the artiste, one of his mentors, Shubhoshekhar Bhattacharjee, encouraged him to do the collaboration that encapsulates the folk culture of Meghalaya and Sufism into one.

“As a singer, I have the gift of music and poetry that Allah has given me. I want to reach out to people all over with my music,” mentioned the singer.

Rahul Dev among first few actors to resume filming after lockdown

Rahul Dev is among the actors who have hit the sets soon after shooting resumed post lockdown, and he is enjoying being back at work.

“I’ve been among the first few actors to resume filming and the change has been refreshing. After three months of being under lockdown, I did miss the sets and facing the camera. It was a good feeling to be back at work,” Rahul told IANS.

Talking about shooting amid the pandemic and the precautions taken, the actor informed: “A large difference has been the use of face masks, keeping safe distancing and meticulous hygiene. Apart from that, there is insurance for actors, technicians, and crew members,” replied the actor.

Dev has already wrapped up shooting a few portions of his upcoming flick “Velapanthi”.

“‘Velapanthi’ is a comedy in which I play a dangerous yet endearing Haryanvi don. Most of my dialogues are in colloquial Haryanvi, with some incorrect English words. The character’s name is Zoravor Singh Milk Wala, which in itself is very funny. It’s a breezy appearance and in the climax adds to the twists and turns. The part has been written with a fair amount of liberty,” informed the actor.

From playing completely negative characters to roles with a funny twist, does he enjoy the change? The actor replied: “Change is always refreshing, whether it was a couple of straight-faced comic situations in ‘Mubarakan’, where I play the patriarchal head of the family, or the series ‘Who’s Your Daddy’, where the character’s naiveness lends to the comedy.”

“I would like to explore roles that are intense and real, (I am) yet to land something like that,” he added.

Rahul has several big screens as well as web series projects lined up. He will be seen in the film “Torbaaz” alongside Sanjay Dutt, the web series “Poison 2” where he plays a cop, and Nikkhil Advani’s forthcoming web series “Moghuls” among others.

‘Maddam Sir’ cast salutes efforts of police in corona battle

Actors Yukti Kapoor and Gulki Joshi, who are a part of the TV show “Madam Sir”, have saluted the spirit of the police for their efforts in the battle against the COVID outbreak.

“I was missing the ‘Madam Sir’ team so much and it felt good to be back. Now that we are coming back with new episodes, it is our responsibility to do even more justice to our characters as we are playing police officers,” Yukti said.

“Police officers have been at the frontline during these difficult times and they were out there risking their lives so that we are safe in our homes. So, in my view, police officers are like gods,” she added.

The show features Gulki Joshi and Yukti Kapoor as reel-life police officers.

“I feel that today if we have been able to handle this pandemic a little, it has been possible with the relentless efforts of our frontline heroes like the police force. ‘Madam Sir’, being somewhat a representative of the police force in India, it is our responsibility to do justice to our roles and bring the right message to our audience. So, I feel very proud to be playing this role and I hope we are able to make our police officers feel proud too,” Gulki shared of her role in the Sony SAB show.

Tahir Raj Bhasin is glad that people will experience ’83’ in theatres

Actor Tahir Raj Bhasin, who steps into the shoes of legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar in “83”, says he is glad that people will get to experience the upcoming film in theatres.

“83” was originally scheduled to hit the screens in April the film has been pushed to Christmas owing to the COVID outbreak.

Has the wait been disappointing? “Actually no, because it’s a period film and not a film that is going to age. It’s an incredibly relevant story. So, whenever it does come out, it will make a great impact. I was moved by the experience of working in the film as well as the nostalgia and its scale. I am so glad that people are going to experience that in a theatre,” Tahir told IANS.

Directed by Kabir Khan, “83” narrates the story of India’s first-ever cricket World Cup victory in 1983. Ranveer Singh stars as the underdog team’s captain Kapil Dev while Deepika Padukone plays Kapil’s wife Romi Dev.

The film also features Pankaj Tripathi, Saqib Saleem, Harrdy Sandhu, Ammy Virk, Jiiva, Sahil Khattar, Chirag Patil, and Adinath Kothare in key roles.

Nithya Menen: Important for me to do films that stand the test of time

Actress Nithya Menen has entertained many with her hit films in Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada, and Telugu languages, and she forayed Hindi cinema last year with “Mission Mangal”. For her, it is not enough to entertain people. She wants to do films that stand the test of time.

The actress made her debut with the 2006 Kannada movie “7 O’ Clock”, and then went on to impress with roles in “Mersal”, “24”, “O Kadhal Kanmani”, and “Malli Malli Idi Rani Roju”.

Talking about her film choices and successful career, she told IANS: “It took its own course. I hadn’t planned any of it. I didn’t want anything specific either. It’s important for me to do good films, to do films that stand the test of time, that I feel proud of. That’s very important to me. It’s not enough to just entertain.”

She loves her film career, but she has other plans, too.

“I recorded two new singles during the lockdown. I hope I have another branch of my career, which is music. One of the songs is a collaboration with an artist from London. It’s got a classical sound along with an electronic sound. Another one is a nice romantic melody,” shared Nithya.

She has a huge plan that involves writing a script, too. “I had always wanted to sit and write a script. Otherwise, I don’t get the energy to do it. I gave it a start, but I didn’t put any deadline, so it was like if I felt like writing, I would write if I didn’t, I wouldn’t. I didn’t finish the whole thing. I think I have a few more months,” she said.

As an actress, Nithya has just explored a new medium, with the web series “Breathe: Into The Shadows”, streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

“It is one of the best performances I have given to date,” she declares, about her role as a mom in the psychological crime thriller.

Asked if OTT platforms will be the new way of viewing films too, she said: “I don’t think anything can replace the whole experience of going to a theatre and seeing a movie on a big screen. That is a different experience. But the OTT platforms that are opening up now have started a healthy trend in terms of content and cinema.

“Sometimes, there is a certain stagnancy, everybody walks on the same path, and a lot of things become cliches. OTT is opening up new opportunities for everybody. As an actor, I am very hopeful. (It is a medium) Even for writers and directors who want to explore diverse content.”

She feels that everyone should make niche content so that there is something for everybody to watch.

“There should be something for everyone, so that is what OTT is doing. I feel that’s a very healthy environment,” she said.

For now, she is using her lockdown time productively.

“I work for months together then after that, I have to escape from it for some time. I have to recharge, otherwise, you can’t drain yourself off. It’s an emotionally draining job. It’s imperative that we take these breaks. I am used to doing nothing for months together. So when lockdown happened, I thought, ‘It’s not new to me at all’. I know people are freaking out, but I am like I do this all the time,” she said.

“We always complain that we don’t get time to do certain things, so why not use this time. I love the uncertainty of this time. You never know when things are going to start, what’s going to happen, basically there are no deadlines. You can do whatever you want, what your heart wants to do. I decided to use this time to do everything that I didn’t get time for. I have been using it quite productively,” she added.

She has started reading, learning a lot of things online, and cleaning up her house, among other things.

Ayushmann Khurrana: I choose films that have no reference points

Ayushmann Khurrana says he has always opted for films that have no reference point and that he has done so deliberately.

“I have always tried to choose films that have no reference points and I have done this deliberately. I have gravitated towards handpicking social dramas in my quest to give the audience films that can hopefully impact change in mindset, communities, and of course attitude,” Ayushmann said.

In his eight-year Bollywood journey, Ayushmann has played a sperm donor in his maiden film “Vicky Donor”, a man with erectile dysfunction in “Shubh Mangal Saavdhaan”, a strong-headed police officer in “Article 15”, a gay lover in “Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhaan”, highlighted body shaming in “Dum Laga Ke Haisha” and spotlighted premature balding in “Bala”.

“These so-called taboo topics were hardly touched upon by our industry because we generally, consciously, like to shy away from speaking publicly about these issues,” he said.

Ayushmann wants society and Bollywood to be more vocal about important issues that can help promote diversity and inclusivity in India.

“We aren’t very vocal about some important and real issues that we should actually be talking about and discussing more often. I have always felt that bringing such topics out in the open will help us grow as a country,” he said.

Ayushmann says he will continue with his journey to usher as much “positive change” around him as possible. “That’s my biggest motivation as an artist,” he summed up.

On Neetu Kapoor’s birthday, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni also shared a picture of herself, Neetu Kapoor and Ranbir from the get-together. She wrote, “Happiest birthday, my Iron Lady. I love you so much, Ma.”

Why Diljit Dosanjh was initially hesitant to star in ‘Soorma’

Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh has revealed that he was initially hesitant to do the film “Soorma”, based on the life of hockey player Sandeep Singh.

Director Shaad Ali’s sports biographical drama was released two years ago on this day. Diljit took to his official Instagram account page where he shared a clip from the film and shared the reason that ultimately prompted him to play Sandeep Singh in the film.

“#Soorma Aaj poore 2 saal ho Gaye film ko.. @sandeep_rebirth bhaji ki life ki journey jitni inspiring hai Aaj ke youth ke lie bhaji real role model hain (‘Soorma’ completes 2 years today. Sandeep Singh’s life is so inspiring, he is the role model for the youth),” Diljit wrote alongside the image.

He said his journey in the film turned out to be great.

“Jab yeh film mujhey offer hui phele Maine mana Kar dia thaa. 2 reasons they. Ek mainey Kabhi hockey nahi help thee life may, doosra Punjab may already 2 films ban Rahi thee hockey (When I was offered this film, at first I refused to take it up because of two reasons. I had never played hockey in my life and a couple of films on hockey were already being made in Punjab).”

“Par but thx to @sneharajani_ mam #shaadalisir @chitrangda ji jinki vajha se mainey yeh film ki (Thanks to Sneha Rajani, Shaad Ali and Chitrangada, I did this film),” he said.

Diljit said he doesn’t have any friends in the film industry but Angad Bedi, who played his brother in “Soorma”, is like a brother in real life, too. He added that he loved working with Taapsee Pannu and that he learned a lot from actor Satish Kaushik.

“@shankar.mahadevan sir Ke Saath Gana Karna dream thaa who bhi poor hua..aur who bhi #gulzaarsaab ka like Gana #ishqdibaajiyaan (I fulfilled my dream of working with Shankar Mahadevan on a song in the film, and that to a song penned by Gulzar Saab),” said the actor-singer.

Diljit recalled Vijay Raaz as a very funny person, adding that the two had a lot of fun on the sets.
