Lakshmi Manchu helping kids who have lost parents to Covid

Actress Lakshmi Manchu is doing her bit to help children who have lost their parents to Covid.

Her NGO Teach for Change will be extending support to 1,000 kids who have lost their parents to the virus. Their team is already on the ground, identifying such kids. They will be helping them with education, basic necessities and also help build a foundation for themselves.

“On a personal front, I have been helping as many people as I can, trying to find medications or hospital beds and vice versa. The effect of Covid is more devastating post getting Covid even for the families and children who lost parents during this time,” she says.

She adds: “We, at Teach for Change, are committed to taking care of 1,000 kids from lower-income households — of their education, tuition, clothes and whatever it is they need help with.”

Recently, the actress also stepped up to help the community of Hyderabad by donating 1,000 cooked meals in hospitals.

“The initiative started with the lockdown where most people around the hospitals have been coming in from smaller towns and have no access to food. So, we chose a few hospitals that we would distribute 1000 meals during the entire lockdown. Our team at Teach for Change, our volunteers, our team members have been doing this every single day and are so grateful to be able to feed people and take hunger away from them,” she says.

Kaia Gerber thanks mom Cindy Crawford for letting her make fashion mistakes

Model Kaia Gerber, who is the daughter of Cindy Crawford, said she is grateful to her mother for letting her make fashion mistakes.

“The best style advice my mom has given me is less is more. She also let me make fashion mistakes, which I appreciate a lot. I think the biggest mistake that I made was trying to dress up a lot. When I was off duty, when I first started modeling, I was wearing heels all the time and full looks that lasted one season,” Gerber said in a clip for Vogue’s “7 Days, 7 Looks” series, according to a report in contactmusic.com.

She said her fashion style is similar to her mother’s.

“My mom always referenced very classic looks. So, I get that from her. She always gave me very staple pieces to have, to travel with that you can interchange. Sometimes, I will see a picture of my mom and I think it’s me. This happened the other day. I posted a picture in this Marc Jacobs plaid dress, and she texted me and she’s like, ‘Kaia, I swear to God, I had that dress in the nineties’, and she sent me a picture, and it was the exact same dress,” said Gerber.

Vivaan Shah: Playing a kabaadiwala made me more compassionate towards the community

Actor Vivaan Shah says playing a scrap dealer in the film “Kabaad: The Coin” helped him know the hardships that scrap dealers as a community face in life, even as they keep the city clean.

“We see kabaadiwalas (scrap dealers) and those who collect garbage from our homes and offices every day, but we do not take a moment to pause and think about their lives. It is their relentless efforts that keep our city clean, but they live in extreme poverty and hardship,” Vivaan told IANS.

“Playing a kabaadiwala actually made me more compassionate towards them. There are people who earn less money but still have respect in society. We do not give any respect or financial support to these garbage and scrap collectors. Imagine, if they stopped collecting garbage and waste, we would almost live in a garbage yard! But do we even say ‘thank you when they collect the trash from our homes? No, right?” he continued.

For Vivaan, the role was an exciting one. “It was exciting for me to play this part who speaks in typical Bombaiya tapori dialect. Me being a Bombay boy who has grown up listing to this language, it was fun to speak in that dialect,” he said.

The story of the film revolves around a young student Bandhan, who is forced to take up the job of a scrap dealer for survival and eventually comes across a bag full of gold coins. As the film progresses, it unfolds how that changes his life – rather, puts him in danger through emotional turmoil and betrayal.

The film is directed by Varadraj Swami and also featuring Zoya Afroz and Abhishek Bajaj. “Kabaad: The Coin” streams on MX Player.

Amyra Dastur: If a film doesn’t do well I get ready for the next

Actress Amyra Dastur says she has reached a point in her career where she is unaffected by a film not doing well.

“I think I have had enough films not do well and do well, and realize that it is part and parcel of the job. One film works and one doesn’t. I just laugh and get ready for the next film. As long as I get work, I am happy. The day I don’t, that’s the day I will be worried,” she told IANS.

The actress adds that there is a lot more she has to achieve.

“At the end of the day, I feel I still haven’t reached that position where I wanted to be,” she says.

” I am proud of how far I have come without knowing anyone. It is about hard work and I believe you create your own luck. I am happy to see where my career is going. Hopefully, I will have a long career with different roles,” she adds.

While she has worked on projects in different languages and platforms, Bollywood will always be special.

“Bollywood would always be my number one. It’s home. Hindi cinema toh meri Khoon main hai (Hindi cinema runs in my blood), but I love working in Tamil and the other industries. But at the end of the day, home is home,” she says.

Bollywood apart, Amyra has worked with martial arts superstar Jackie Chan in the film “Kung Fu Yoga”.
