Javed Akhtar

Did you know? Javed Akhtar had days when he didnโ€™t have food to eat

Javed Akhtar got emotional as he remembered the tough times he faced when he was struggling in the film industry. He mentioned how hunger can make a person feel like an animal, blurring the lines between humanity and survival. He reflects on the extravagant meals he enjoys now and wonders how precious they would have been back when he went days without eating. Did you know? Javed Akhtar spent days without food During an interview with Barkha Dutt for Mojo Story, Javed was questioned about his complex relationship with his father and whether he recalls the events leading up to him being pushed onto the streets. “I remember the minutest detail,” He added, “I feel very thankful for life, instead of getting sad about it, or feeling victimised or persecuted, I feel very thankful to life.” “So often, in the mornings… I live by the sea, I can only see the ocean from my windows. I sit there, and they bring breakfast on a trolley. I feel like maybe I’m a part of some drama, that all this doesn’t belong to me. And I feel so thankful to life. Look! I have so much food, I can eat. I sit at my dining table many times, when I finish eating, I see so much food is still there. And I feel if I could’ve gotten just one dish, that daal, or that sabzi, that night when I was so hungry, how much I would have enjoyed it.” He continued. The veteran writer was teared up remembering his past. “On one hand, I do remember those tough days, but on the other hand, I feel extremely thankful, because there must be crores and crores of people who suffered the way I suffered, but they were not rewarded or compensated.”  When he was asked if there were days when he didn’t have food to eat, he stated, “Oh, what a question. Many times.”  Talking about what he would do in these moments, he said, "When you don’t have anything to eat, you don’t do anything. Actually, it’s very interesting. Suppose you haven’t eaten anything since morning, and you go to somebody’s house, and they’re sitting at the dining table, and they say, ‘Aaiye khana kha lijiye (Come, eat with us)’, and spontaneously many times it has happened, I’ve said, ‘Nahi, kha ke aaya hoon (No, I just ate)’. If they came to know that I was dying of starvation, that would be very shameful.”

Varun Dhawan & Arjun Kapoor surprise actor Bobby Deol with special dance

Actor Bobby Deol is currently riding high on the success of his latest release ‘Animal’. Apart from his action, the star also received rave reviews for his entry in the film with an old Iranian song titled ‘Jamaal Jamaaloo’, which the makers have officially released as ‘Jamal Kudu’. The song has garnered a lot of love, and a scene where Bobby puts a whisky glass on his head and balances it while dancing has become an iconic part of the entire movie. Everyone is trying to recreate the scene, and it looks like the fever has not yet subsided. Yesterday, the entire Bollywood turned out for an event in the city. Bobby Deol was amongst the celebrities who attended the starry night. As the actor took the stage during the event, Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor joined him to shake a leg. As soon as the actors took the stage, ‘Jamal Kudu’ played in the background and Bobby started recreating the iconic scene, but what made us all smile wider was Varun and Arjun’s actions. The two youngsters started copying Bobby Deol’s famous 90s dance step and the song changed to ‘Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela’. 'Animal' was helmed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. It was one of the biggest blockbusters of 2023. However, it was also criticized for its depiction of misogyny. Prem Chopra, Shakti Kapoor, and Suresh Oberoi also featured in the film. The film left many fans excited as it had a post-credits scene, teasing a sequel titled 'Animal Park', in which Ranbir would potentially have a double role. 'Animal' revolves around a troubled father-son relationship and has Ranbir in the role of Rannvijay Singh, who goes on to exact revenge after there's an assassination attempt on his father. The film raked in over Rs 800 crore at the box office. Earlier, Bobby took to Instagram to express gratitude for showering love on his character. He wrote, "Falling short of words to describe this feeling. Grateful to each and every one of you for showering #TeamAnimal & Abrar with unconditional love." On the work front, Bobby Deol will be seen in ‘Kanguva’. The teaser of the upcoming period action drama film, ‘Kanguva’, starring Suriya Sivakumar and Bobby Deol, will be out today March 19th.

There were days when Sharvari had to really keep herself from breaking down when we started shooting. As a young girl, she had to reach places that were very uncomfortable." He added, "Vedaa is a story of a girl and her cynical, bitter mentor seeking justice from the highest voices of power in our country. While it ticks the boxes of the "inspired by true stories" subjects that I gravitate towards, it was challenging for me to do the level of action that John as an actor and character performs in the film."

Tanushree Dutta

Tanushree Dutta: A journey beyond controversy - celebrating the actress' career

Tanushree Dutta evokes nostalgia for many of us; the actress gave us some very beautiful films in her short-spanning career. Today, as Tanushree Dutta celebrates her birthday, here is a look back at her journey in the film industry. Born in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand on March 19, 1984, Tanushree started her career as a model. She participated and won Femina Miss India Universe in 2004. Before entering the glitz and glamour of the Hindi film industry, Tanushree ventured into Tamil Cinema and debuted with "Theeratha Vilayattu Pillai". Later in 2005, Dutta's Bollywood debut "Chocolate" came. Directed by Vivek Agnihotri, the film stars Anil Kapoor, Suniel Shetty, Emraan Hashmi, Arshad Warsi, Irrfan Khan, and many others. Although the film didn't do well at the box office, it attracted a lot of controversy. Later, Tanushree went on to do a few more films; her last movie was in 2013 when she starred in "Hum Ne Li Hai Shapath". Tanushree gained a lot of headlines during her time in the industry, but it was barely about her films. The actress attracted public and media attention soon after her debut in Bollywood. Dutta was dominating headlines because of her serious allegations against a few of the industry's A-listers. After her debut with Vivek Agnihotri's film, the actress accused the director of harassing her. Dutta also made serious allegations against Nana Patekar, Ganesh Acharya, and others. But for those who think this was the only thing that made Tanushree get attention are not right. There was and is a lot beyond the MeToo movement to talk about. There are people who have celebrated Tanushree's journey for her acting skills and talent. Even though she had a very short-spanning career, her contribution to movies has given her a fan base who still cherish her work. During an almost decade-long career, Dutta has given us films like Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Dhol, Risk and others. In an interview in 2013, she said that she took a break and tried recuperation using Eastern spirituality. Initially, she stayed at an ashram for one and a half years. Then, she went to Ladakh where she learned Buddhist meditation. She also practices Vipassana meditation. Today, we still enjoy her work and hope to see her making a comeback.

Sara Ali Khan on doing 'Ae Watan Mere Watan': โ€˜ I donโ€™t have the crutch of...'

Sara Ali Khan is making headlines for her upcoming period drama 'Ae Watan Mere Watan'. The actress, who is on a promotion spree right now, talked about how this genre is new to her and how her image of being a ‘namaste darshakon’ girl or the ‘knock knock’ joke girl will not help her to play this role. In a conversation with News18, the actress spoke her heart out and shared, “As an actor, this is a genre I’ve never done. So now, I don’t have the crutch of being the ‘namaste darshakon’ girl, the ‘knock knock’ joke girl, the girl with the abs or the bubbly and bindass girl who will just speak her mind. My sasti juttis isn’t going to help here." Sara Ali Khan’s bubbly nature has made her everyone's favourite, but while talking about taking up this new role and showing a very different side of her, Sara shared that while playing this character, she had a totally different level of self-confidence, self-belief, and almost saatvik positivity that she had to bring to the table, which according to her, is a part of her personality. However, being a part of a story like Ae Watan Mere Watan that’s inspired by true events brought her a sense of pride. When quizzed about the same, she said, “It did, a 150 percent on every level! As a human being, I’m proud to be able to tell a story of an integral part of the Quit India Movement. I realise that I can’t always change the world. It’s about whatever little I can do. In this day and age, people are reluctant to do absolutely anything because they feel like, ‘Arrey, hum kya hi kar lenge!’ But kuch toh kar lo. Boond boond se banta hai sagar. That’s the whole point.” A Dharmatic Entertainment Production, the Amazon Original Movie is produced by  Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra. Directed by Kannan Iyer, the film has been written by Iyer and Darab Farooqui. The film also features Sachin Khedekar, Abhay Verma, Sparsh Shrivastav, Alexx O'Neil, and Anand Tiwari in pivotal roles. The film is set to premiere exclusively on  Prime Video in India and across more than 240 countries and territories worldwide on March 21 in Hindi with dubs in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada.

Ranvir Shorey talks about ex-girlfriend Pooja Bhatt

Actor Ranvir Shorey made several headlines after his breakup with Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter Pooja Bhatt, but for the longest time, Ranvir avoided conversation around this part of his personal life. Now, in an interview, the actor talked about the relationship and shared that he had a great regard for Mahesh Bhatt until the fiasco happened. In a conversation with ANI, Ranvir Shorey shared that his respect for Bhatt was used against him to manipulate him. Ranvir said, "I had great regard for Mr Bhatt (Mahesh Bhatt) until the fiasco happened when I was seeing his daughter (Pooja Bhatt). Then I saw that actually whatever respect I had for him was being used to manipulate me... very duplicitous behaviour going on." "This fully happens, you know, ganging up against someone, elbowing them out, standing on somebody's toes, scuttling somebody's career. This happens. This is a fact. It happens in politics, corporate, and media too. But this part is not glamorous," he added. Earlier in 2020, when the news of Pooja and Ranvir’s abusive relationship was spreading like wildfire, while reacting to a news article Ranvir shared, “These kinds of articles are the result of the sustained defamatory and malicious PR campaign that these film moguls have targeted me with for years! None of the media will bother to fact-check old police and media records that will show that it was I who was abused by them,” he had tweeted. According to Ranvir, Pooja’s ex-husband Manish Makhija was his best friend but later he turned around and married her. “This guy in the photos used to be my best friend right up until after the incident, and then turned around and married her. All kinds of relationships are manipulated and psychological warfare used,” he had said. Pooja and Manish got married in 2003 and announced their separation in 2014. Pooja has not legally separated from him. Ranvir is known for his work in films including 'Jism', 'Lakshya'. He received much appreciation for his role in films such as 'Khosla Ka Ghosla', 'Traffic Signal, 'Bheja Fry', among others. He was also seen in 'Accident or Conspiracy: Godhra'. His recent show 'Sunflower season 2' is receiving a good response.

But Jackky was prepared.” Recalling the incident from 2021, Rakul said, “He had come to Delhi for my mom’s birthday.

Then we were having lunch, and my dad asked him what his plan was. He started with plans for his next release, 'Mission Raniganj.' My dad just said, ‘work and all is good, but what is your plan with my daughter.’ My food got stuck in my throat.” “The funniest thing was that he just took it very well and said, ‘whenever she is ready, I am ready.’ And that was it; my father became a fan,” Rakul added while concluding the conversation.
