Drew Barrymore doesn’t want her kids to act before 14

Actress Drew Barrymore says she doesn’t want her daughters to act until they are older.

The 45-year-old actress began her career when she was just 11 months and worked throughout her childhood.

While speaking to Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell via video chat, she said that she would support Olive, seven, and Frankie, six, if they wanted to follow in her footsteps, but would rather wait until they are at least in their teens before encouraging them to do so, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“I would be the first person to help them, but not before 14 or 15,” she said.

The star, who has her daughters with ex-husband Will Kopelman, also admitted that her long career has had its ups and downs but she wouldn’t trade her “wonderful baggage” for anything.

She said: “I have all sort of wonderful baggage that I would never let go of or have it any other way because I wouldn’t be exactly who I am at this moment in time without those experiences.”

Meanwhile, the actress recently admitted that she found homeschooling during the coronavirus pandemic to be overwhelming at first.

She said: “Between homeschooling and working, I felt very overwhelmed at first – and I hate feeling overwhelmed. It was weird to be a mum and a teacher and a provider and a friend. I felt sad for a while that I was all I could offer my children. Then I realized that I had to get out of it. I have so much empathy and patience for everyone but myself, it’s sick.”

Sushant’s sister pens open letter to PM, fears evidence tampering

Fearing evidence is being tampered with in the ongoing investigation of Sushant Singh Rajput death case, his sister Shweta Singh Kirti has penned an open letter on Saturday morning to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting him to intervene.

In her letter, she has also claimed that Sushant did not have a godfather in Bollywood and similarly his family does not have one in life.

Shweta posted the letter on her verified Facebook account. She wrote: “I am the sister of Sushant Singh Rajput and I request an urgent scan of the whole case. We believe in India’s judicial system and expect justice at any cost. @narendramodi @PMOIndia #JusticeForSushant #SatyamevaJayate.”

The letter reads: “Dear sir, Somehow my heart says that you stand with and for the truth. We are from a very simple family. My brother had no godfather when he was in Bollywood nor do we have anyone right now. My request to you is to immediately look into this case and make sure that everything is handled in a sanitized way and no evidence are tampered with. Expecting justice to prevail.”

The open letter to the Prime Minister comes a day after her Facebook post where she shared her late brother’s hand-written plans for himself on a whiteboard, which reveals that the actor was planning to start transcendental meditation from June 29.

The Facebook post on Friday evening shows Sushant was actually planning ahead in life. Shweta shared a photograph of a whiteboard, on which, in Sushant’s handwriting, is a daily to-do list for himself.

The list includes his plans to practice transcendental meditation daily from June 29. Other instructions include “make your bed” after waking up, “read books, watch content movies/series, learn guitar and workout” among other things.

“Bhai’s White Board where he was planning to start his workout and transcendental meditation from 29th June daily. So he was planning ahead. #justiceforsushantsinghrajput,” Shweta had written on Facebook on Friday.

Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging in his Mumbai residence on June 14.

Shweta Tiwari’s daughter Palak opens up on her Bollywood debut

Palak Tiwari, daughter of TV star Shweta Tiwari, is all set for a Bollywood debut in a horror-thriller film franchise based on true events in Gurugram. The debutante says she feels like she has been ready to take this step for a while now.

Titled “Rosie: The Saffron Chapter”, Palak’s debut project is directed by Vishal Mishra.

“For ‘Rosie’, I’ll say the movie picked me. After I heard the synopsis of the story it was hard for me not to want to be a part of it. Our director sir’s vision for ‘Rosie’ is crafted with poise and mystique. It’s a vision I’m fortunate to be portraying,” Palak told IANS.

Palak is nervous about her debut in Hindi cinema. “Your debut is your first impression, it’s an everlasting association but I’ve also felt like I’ve been ready to take this step for a while. I have dreamed of this day my whole life and now that it’s finally here, there’s nervousness and there’s pressure to make everyone that has believed in me proud and give others a reason to believe in me,” she said.

Having a renowned television actress like Shweta at home, does Palak take any acting tips from her mother?

“One thing that I truly appreciate about mom is how she approaches helping me with acting,” replied Palak, adding that she is shy to perform in front of her mother.

“Whenever and if ever a scene is a little perplexing, or if I’m just feeling stuck, our way to do it is I record myself performing the scene, the best way I know how to because I get so nervous performing in front of mom. She will then watch the video — only after I’ve left the room because again she makes me very, very nervous and shy for some reason — and once she’s done she’ll call me back and tell me everything I can improve on,” said Palak.

Palak says her mother Shweta will never do a scene for her and then ask her to emulate that.

“What she has always taught me is ‘if you’ll ever make it will be because of your style of acting and the approach and perspective you bring to it’. So, she has always taught me to never leave my way of acting, she has never asked me to do it her way. Only, (she tells me) how I can better myself,” Palak added.

The first part, “Saffron Chapter” is based in the Saffron BPO, considered as one of the most haunted places in Gurugram.

The story revolves around a girl called Rosie who was an employee in the office.

Singer Yasser Desai feels Neha Kakkar is the pop star of this country.

Yasser and Neha have collaborated on an upcoming single titled “Dil ko kara aaya”. The song is penned by Rana and composed by Rajat Nagpal.

Talking about their new collaboration, he added: “This is the second time I have sung with Neha. We both sang together for the first time in ‘Fukrey Returns’, for the song ‘O meri mehbooba’. But this is my first duet with Neha, so I am looking forward to it. It’s a beautiful romantic song, with a video featuring Sidharth Shukla and Neha Sharma.”

Talking about his upcoming projects, Yasser said: “A lot of my projects are stuck due to this coronavirus pandemic, so I hope that this lockdown ends as soon as possible. I have sung songs for big projects with well-known composers but currently, I can’t disclose the names. As far as individual projects are concerned, I am working on a few singles in which I will be featuring as well. Let’s see when they come out.”

TV actor Nishant Singh Malkani’s cosmic link with the film ‘Tamasha’

Telly star Nishant Singh Malkani says he relates to the character of Ved, played by Ranbir Kapoor, in the Imtiaz Ali-directorial, Tamasha, on a cosmic level.

Nishant has been busy shooting for “Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega”, but has shared that he loves watching films whenever possible.

In fact, he feels that watching films helps him learn and better his craft. Furthermore, he revealed that “Tamasha” has impacted him a lot and has influenced his taste in cinema.

He even feels that his life is very similar to that of Ved in “Tamasha”.

“A movie that has influenced my taste in cinema has to be Imtiaz Ali sir’s ‘Tamasha’. I hold that movie very close to my heart, more so due to the striking similarities I share with the protagonist Ved. Just like Ved, I come from a smalltown family and my parents used to emphasize the importance that numbers, percentages, and academics hold in life and how they will singlehandedly ascertain the quality of life we all get to live in the future. This was certainly the biggest pressure I have lived with throughout my childhood,” he said.

“While I do not blame my parents for sharing their outlook, there is no denying the fact that there are some children who look at the world and everything around them through colored glass and their creativity overpowers the logical approach to life,” he added.

While growing up, Nishant had arguments with his parents who tried to guide him towards a more logical and practical way of life. These small quarrels used to leave him frustrated and he would find solace by watching movies and celebrating creativity and art.

“Back in school, when I did not score as well as my neighbor’s child or my friends, I felt useless and kind of a loser of sorts, which was a real bummer. I grew to despise it and got somewhat frustrated. But that is exactly what made me realize that I wasn’t built to do well in academics and something bigger and better was waiting for me out there,” said the actor.

“It is in fact a coincidence that I got a chance to act and I enjoyed the whole process of learning how to act. I practically discovered and accepted myself through this process and got in touch with my real emotions. Like Imtiaz Sir’s Ved, I realized quite late in my life that I was always meant to be an actor, and a door practically opened up for me to flourish and be out there in the world. I truly relate with the whole journey of Imtiaz Ali’s Ved on a cosmic level,” he added.

Sushant was murdered: Subramanian Swamy gives his reasons

BJP Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy strongly feels that actor Sushant Singh Rajput was “murdered”.

Swamy took to Twitter on Thursday and posted a document to support his claim.

“Why I think Sushanth Singh Rajput was murdered,” Swamy tweeted along with a photograph of the document that has 26 points.

According to the document, the mark on Sushant’s neck did not indicate suicide but instead hinted at homicide.

The document further claims that for suicide by hanging, one has to hang himself by removing the table under his feet. “This huge force is not possible in homicidal strangulation,” read the document.

The document further reads that marks on his body indicate “beating”.

This comes a day after Swamy spoke to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and said that he will initiate a CBI inquiry into the matter.

Sushant was found dead at his residence in Bandra, Mumbai on June 14. Post mortem report stated the actor had committed suicide. The police are still investigating the case.

Malaika Arora on sister Amrita: She has been like my own child

Dancing diva Malaika Arora recently got nostalgic about her childhood with sister Amrita.

Reminiscing her childhood days, Malaika shared: “Parents give you direction in life and support you. But our siblings also support us, and that is something we should be happy and proud of.”

Malaika recalled she used to take care of Amrita when their mother was at work.

“From eating to getting her ready to going to school, I would help her do all her work. I still remember Amrita used to go to the washroom in school after taking permission from her teacher on the condition I was present there. She has been like my own child,” said Malaika.

“Now that she has her own kids, she behaves like my older sister, she gives me advice. We share a close and strong bond. We have had our share of days where we would fight, not speak with each other, but she was always the first one to say sorry whether it was her mistake or not,” she added.

Malaika opened up about her bond with her sister during the shoot of Sony Entertainment Television’s show “India’s Best Dancer”.

Ishaan Khatter: I don’t feel too pressurised

Ishaan Khatter is young and raring to go, in a showbiz race laced with tough competition and constant talk of nepotism. But the half-brother of Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor says he never feels too pressurized about anything in life.

The budding actor has an eclectic line-up of work coming up, from Mira Nair’s BBC series “A Suitable Boy” that is based on Vikram Seth’s acclaimed novel of the same name to the Bollywood action drama “Khali Peeli”, and the recently-announced horror-comedy “Phone Bhoot”.

Speaking about pressure, Ishaan told IANS: “Not anymore, I get (a) standard amount of pressure that you have as a leading man in movies. I don’t really perceive it as pressure. For me, it comes along with opportunities and excitement and a platform to express myself. It’s great, but I don’t feel too pressurized.”

For Ishaan, it is about how the audience reacts to him.

“It’s like one of those things — if you leave it all on the floor and you give your work everything then you have nothing to be afraid of. You’re just excited to see how the world will see you,” he added.

“A Suitable Boy” casts Ishaan as Maan Kapoor, the rebellious son of politician Mahesh Kapoor (played by Ram Kapoor). Maan develops an attraction for the beautiful courtesan Saaeda Bai (essayed by Tabu).

“Khaali Peeli” is a romantic action thriller co-starring Ananya Panday. “Phone Bhoot” co-stars Katrina Kaif and Siddhant Chaturvedi and is scheduled for a 2021 release.
