It is great to see this amount of love come in from the audience. 2021 is all about positivity and good vibes for me, and ‘Tribhanga’ has given me a good acceleration,” she declared.

Ananya Panday’s mom on how the actress reacts to cyber-bullying

Bollywood actress Ananya Panday, who has often faced the dark side of cyberbullying, is a positive person and does not go into a low because of something that has been said about her, says Bhavna Pandey, who tags herself as a protective mother.

Talking about being a guarded mother to Ananya or letting the actress handle her own things, Bhavna told IANS: “Yes, I am guarded and protective of her as any mother would be about her child and, of course, with her being in the public domain there are a lot of judgments that are passed.”

Bhavna said that initially, she would get upset reading comments about her daughter.

“In the beginning, I would read every comment and read everything that came her way, and I would get more upset than even her. But now as time has passed, I have got used to all that and I understand.”

She said that Ananya has acquired her positive streak from her father, actor Chunky Panday.

“I think with Ananya she has taken that from her father. She is a very happy and positive person and she doesn’t take things to her heart too much. She doesn’t go into a low because something has been said about her. So, the atmosphere is generally very happy and nice,” Bhavna said.

Bhavna, who was recently seen in the web show “The Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives”, said as a mother she used to get very “hurt and angry”, adding: “Now I understand that being a public figure it’s okay. Sometimes they write unnecessary things that are not required. If someone is giving constructive criticism is welcome. You have put yourself out there people are paying for the ticket and they have an opinion. But body-shaming and talking about looks and things which are unnecessary that I feel like it is just a bit much. That is not required.”

Arshad Warsi: We all get stereotyped as actors

Arshad Warsi feels it is easy to get stereotyped as an actor, and very difficult to break away from it. The actor says he has managed to evade the image trap despite his overwhelming popularity in comic roles only because he’s serious roles were equally loved.

“It is difficult (to break away from stereotypes). We all get stereotyped — all of us do, every actor does. That’s how it is. You do a certain role or you do something that people enjoy, and then that is what you keep getting because that is ringing the box office,” Arshad told IANS.

“It becomes difficult to get out of it. Fortunately for me, I’ve managed to do that purely because people have enjoyed my serious acting as well as my comedy,” he added.

The actor continued: “Usually when somebody does comedy, a lot of (his/her) serious roles don’t work because you can’t get that person out of the head.”

Opening up about his way of doing it, Arshad said: “I tend to get into the character so much that I make you forget who I am. I make you forget what my previous one was, and that works for me. In ‘Asur’, people just accepted me in such a serious role as a forensic scientist. And then ‘Durgamati: The Myth’ was on the same lines, I got to do something completely different from what I’m usually offered, which is a breath of fresh air and it feels wonderful.”

Before entering Bollywood as an actor, Arshad worked as an assistant director and choreographed a song for the 1993 film “Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja”. He made his acting debut in 1996 with “Tere Mere Sapne”, which was a box office success.

Over the years, he has impressed the audience and critics alike with varied characters in films like the “Munna Bhai” series, the “Ishqiya” films, the “Golmaal” series, “Dhamaal”, “Jolly LLB” and “Seher”.

Last year, he made his digital debut with the psychological thriller “Asur”. He was also seen in the role of a politician in the film “Durgamati: The Myth”, which ditched the traditional route of release and premiered digitally on Amazon Prime Video.

Asked how his life changed in the Covid-19 era, he said: “It hasn’t, but I’m glad it has changed the lives of the world. I have lived like this even when there was no pandemic. I stay in my room, I do my films, I come back home, I like hanging out with my kids. So I enjoy doing that. I got to do that on a large scale with the kids at home. It was really nice. So, my life has been like that.”

“I’m glad that the rest of the world got a chance to experience the whole feeling of not being in a rush to live your life, to sit down and relax and not do anything. It’s nice to do that. It’s really nice to just sit down and not let life just pass you by and enjoy it a little bit,” he added.

Arshad is currently shooting for “Bachchan Pandey” along with Akshay Kumar, Kriti Sanon, and Jacqueline Fernandez in Jaisalmer. The shoot will continue till March. The team is expected to shoot at places like Gadisar Lake and Jaisalkot.

Angela Bassett feels it is a great deal to play an animated Black woman

Hollywood actress Angela Bassett feels it is important to have people of color in the world of animated stories because it is important for the young generation to know that there is vast and diverse humanity out there.

“There aren’t many,” Bassett said while talking about the lack of animated Black women on screen.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to portray, maybe, a handful of them. It means a great deal. The more and more we get these stories and these images and opportunities out there (the better). We think animation is usually for the youngsters, but families are also taking it. So, it just starts early with these images and this idea that (they get to know) that it’s vast and diverse humanity. I think it’s a great thing,” she added.

Bassett was recently seen in the animated film “Soul”, with which Jamie Foxx became the first-ever African American lead in a Pixar film.

Co-directed by two-time Oscar winner Pete Docter and Kemp Powers, “Soul” takes viewers on the journey of Joe Gardner, a middle-school band teacher (voiced by Jamie Foxx) and how he is about to find his true calling. The film is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar Premium.

Jane Seymour is ‘full-blooded woman’

Actress Jane Seymour says she is flattered to be considered a sex symbol and is thankful to people for considering her a full-blooded woman.

“I don’t quite understand what a sex symbol means, but am I still a full-blooded woman? Definitely! And 69, to me, just appears to be a number. (It’s) flattering. I’m feeling incredibly healthy and well,” Seymour said, according to a femalefirst.co.uk report.

The 69-year-old actress added that she feels lucky that she can “represent (her) own age group” on screen and also play younger characters.

“At the same time, I think it’s lovely that I get to play the 70- and 80-year-olds I’m playing and really represent my own age group onscreen as well. I also often play younger than me,” Seymour, who has been married four times, told people.com.

Recently the actress shared that she used her divorces to make herself a better person.

“(The most important thing I learned) is to let go. To try to find a way to communicate and keep what was good in the relationship. Especially when co-parenting. And I tried to look at my side of things: ‘What could I have done differently?’ But it’s hard when you’re a mother and you work,” Seymour said.

“It means sometimes you’re gone. And sometimes you may be in a relationship where they would rather that you were there 24/7 and never worked. That hasn’t actually been the case with me, but that’s the only thing I can look at that I did really wrong — I went to work. But I was providing for the whole family, so it’s very hard,” she added.
