Mrinal Dutt says his ‘Khwabon Ke Parindey’ role has a beautiful graph

Actor Mrinal Dutt, who will soon be seen in the series “Khwabon Ke Parindey”, says his character Dixit has been presented in a beautiful way. So much so, the actor feels very connected to his onscreen role.

“Dixit is someone who hasn’t been exposed to the world and has surely never taken a road trip, someone who has always been in a secure environment and has not experienced life beyond his cocoon,” Mrinal says.

He adds: “It was truly amazing to explore Dixit. The character has a beautiful graph, and the way he opens up in his journey and discovers himself — my heart went out for this character, even during the readings. Dixit is all heart. While circumstances did not allow him to do that, it was his friends that enabled him to find himself and be unapologetic about it.”

“Khwabon Ke Parindey”, which has largely been shot in Australia, also stars Asha Negi.

Sonu Sood to set up O2 plants in over 16 states across India

Actor Sonu Sood, who has been relentlessly trying to help people who have been affected by Covid-19, has announced that he will set up oxygen plants across the country in almost 16-18 states.

The actor has revealed that the process has already started with two places being locked in Andhra Pradhesh’s Nellore and Kurnool cities. The process will be in full swing by June end and will be completed by September in all the states.

Talking in an interview over the phone, Sonu said: “I have tried to cover all the states. The oxygen plants will be set up near the needy hospitals which will have almost 150-200 beds. All these hospitals will never have shortages. The patients have to sometimes travel far to reach the hospitals and in some cases, they lose their lives as well. With this, I hope, such a situation will never arise.”

Is this his precautionary method to tackle the predicted third wave of Covid-19?

“This will solve the problem forever. Right now there are almost 700 concentrators which we are servicing pan India, but it’s a temporary arrangement. With an oxygen plant, no one will ever face a problem. Why wait for a third or fourth wave to happen? Even when the pandemic will be over, the villages and districts nearby will have oxygen supply forever,” says the actor.

The actor’s work has reached the masses and he often has visitors coming outside his house to meet and discuss their problems with him. He says that helping people only makes him feel more responsible.

“It doesn’t make me nervous but gives me more sense of responsibility. It’s raining right now but people are still standing outside and I have requested them to go. I worry for them and there is so much pain across the country. So, the privileged people should come forward and help and do whatever best they can do,” says the actor, who will soon be seen in the Telugu film “Acharya” and Bollywood flick “Prithviraj”.

Jason Derulo: When Will Smith says something, you make sure you’re listening

American singer-songwriter Jason Derulo has opened up about his friendship with Hollywood star Will Smith. He says Smith gives life advice and that being able to have someone you look up to is great.

“Being able to have someone that you look up to is great. I think there’s nothing like it. When Will Smith says something, you want to make sure that you’re listening. He gives life advice. I take that and put it right. I grew up watching him,” said Derulo, on “The Drew Barrymore Show”.

“He’s been able to accomplish in different genres. It’s really unbelievable to have a friend that I can learn from all the time. We met on the basketball court,” the singer added.

Derulo reminisces about his time with Smith. “He had these little shorts on his high socks. I remember, we needed one more player, and I was like, I’ll take the old guy. He ended up being this crazy basketball player. He started to mentor me as a basketball player because that previous year, I didn’t make my basketball team. I asked if he would help me with my basketball and he was just in law school at the time,” he said.

“He would just help me with my basketball, that’s what it was at that time. Then, at one point, he tried to act. He had all these connections and he had little songs,” Derulo recalled.

He said that today they have a “lustrous empire” together.

“We flew out to New York to meet all of his connections. Door after door were shutting off but we kept at it. We learned together and we continued to build. You know what we have today, 13 businesses and a lustrous empire,” Derulo concluded on Barrymore’s show, which airs on Zee Cafe in India.

Shot in Rajasthan’s Jaisalmer, the video features Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez alongside Badshah and Aastha.

Sitting right next to him, we decided to record few lines on the phone and then I remotely recorded the entire song. Honestly, I admire his way of working and it was super fun working on this track,” Aastha said.

“The song is super sexy filled with high energy. I got to experiment a lot with the vocal range and different and new from the kind of music I usually work on. I’m sure the audience will cheer up listening to this song as it’s very unique and new,” she added.
