singers and composers people who are creating music they are very passionate about what they are doing I must say that they are very creative And they are not trying to follow someone blindly The passion is cultivated through a lot of things People who you have listened to your surroundings who have been your teachers in real life or people who you have listened to the most and found inspiration in their journeyâShe further mentioned âI have also done that same thing I have taken that inspiration from so many people whom I have met and followed Even today when I meet people who are my contemporaries my seniors or even younger ones I learn something from them at all times The learning never stops Its not always hard work it has to be something specialââThere has to be that X factor in the way you are creating There has to be a soul Any art whether its painting or music or dance until there are no emotions it has no valueâ she added IANS

The first was in Janwada Hyderabad where we leased about 6 to 8 acres of land and built a fullfledged village set entirely from scratch This alone took us close to 40 to 45 days as we were very particular about the detailing and authenticity of the spaceâHe shared âThe third and most ambitious world was the climax which we shot over 70 to 80 days at Annapurna Studios Here we constructed elaborate indoor sets on a much larger scale including two massive bridges one of which was specifically built to be destroyedââThis bridge was about 11 to 12 feet wide and nearly 100 feet long executed using bluemat techniques Alongside this we also created a huge mountain set with a detailed pathway on one of the studioâs largest floors allowing us to stage the climax with the scale and intensity we had envisionedâ he addedProduced by Bhuvan and Shreekar of Pixel Studios âSwayambhuâ is set for a worldwide release in Summer 2026 IANS

has ties with Nana Patekar She claimed that he âbecame very strange towardsâ her after 2018 when she accused Nana Patekar of sexually harassing her on the sets of the 2009 film Horn Ok PleassssThe Mumbai Court in 2025 had dismissed the sexual harassment case and related plea filed by Tanushree who made her debut in Bollywood with the film Aashiq Banaya Aapne against actor Nana PatekarTanushree shared a long note on Instagram post where she shared an âupdateâ on her âliving situation in the building societyâ she has called home for âapprox the last 19 yearsâ in Andheri WestShe mentioned that her âkitchen water supply has been cut off last 2 months and for last one year they repeatedly sent random men inside my home for never ending plumbing workâTanshuree stated âStaff keeps changing and so impossible to keep track of developments or complain New staff is always unaware of old staff activity in past so no way to authenticate anything or follow up on past complaints When conplaints are raised building management and supervisors stops responding and do not take callsâShe added âSame excuse of leaking kitchen pipes was given to access my home atleast 3 times for hours long plumbing work over the last one year Work was officially compleete each timeâHowever recently Tanshuree stated that she ârefused to let men come inside my home without proper procedure and email documentationââThen they cut off my kitchen water supply for last two months Ive been managing somehow with great difficulty No documentation no proper procedure followed Refusal to send official email detailing why kitchen water supply is cut off last two months Refusal to put on email the nature of work being undertaken for clarity and recordsâShe added âThis time they want to come with 4 random unknown men and do a civil work breaking structural integrity of the kitchen ie break floor amp tiles etc and make me pay for some of it But they refused to send me an official email with all details of civil and plumbing work being undertaken and names of the men with IDs who will be sent for this contract workâTanushree says she stays alone hereâThey are calling my family and

Patekar and Daya NayakShe replied to a user âI think there are criminal organisations that are typically for hire for doing such things Organusations that work under the radar but are connected with police administration politics and judiciary Their methods are sophisticated and organised sicââThey play it well to make their victims look and sound unstable while they push the victims to a slow deathâShe said that âNana Patekar and other Bollywood mafia members must be investigated because by and large all this started after metooâThe actress said that she has long suspected links between those guys and some people in my building society who are star struck and are directly involvedTalking about the encounter specialist she wrote âTheres a cop called Daya Nayak that stays in my building he has ties with Nana because Nana played him in a flop film Daya was always responsive and polite whenever He met me at social gatherings because I had also done a film with Randeep Hooda on a similar subject But after 2018 He became very strange towards meâTanushree says she finds is âsurprisingâ âthat a cop can even afford a flat in this building society with their salary structure but thats besides the point There are also several film Industry folks that own flats here So not difficult to influence people like a building head secretary to bully meâShe gave a passing mention to Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar who too has a flat next to her buildingâA lot has happened here that defies logic or explanation Even Akshay Kumar owns a flat here next building just saying fyiââThus proves that some of these high end hi fi buildings can have stuff going on so dark and shady that one thinks maybe living in a village would be safer than here Just coz they have money and fancy cars

https://dailyworld.in/entertainment/oscars-changes-its-rules-actors-to-get-multiple-nominations-in-same-category-671918.html Los Angeles May 2 The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is setting up a new framework for the subsequent editions of the Awards ceremonies The Academy has approved a substantive slate of new and updated rules for the 99th Oscars set for 2027 showing its evolving standards around eligibility authorship and global inclusion reports âVarietyâHeadlining the updates is a notable shift in the acting categories Performers may now receive multiple nominations in the same category if their performances rank among the top five votegetters a move that finally aligns the acting races with the rest of the ballot The change has the potential to neutralize some of the presumed âcategory fraudâ at least for actors with two performances in play in the same year in which a campaign team strategically pushes one turn into supporting to dodge a vote splitAs per âVarietyâ one of the most notable examples was Kate Winsletâs 2008 run when she campaigned in lead for âRevolutionary Roadâ and supporting for âThe Readerâ winning Golden Globes in both By the time Oscar nominations were announced âThe Readerâ had been elevated to lead and âRevolutionary Roadâ was shut out She would eventually win Best ActressUnder the previous rules in place until now if a performer landed in the top five with two performances in the same category the highervotegetter would be declared the nominee and the other would be removed Thereâs a fair assumption that both of Winsletâs performances were in the top five of her given yearThe acting rule mechanism dates to the earliest days of the Academy Awards The last notable acting rule change came at the 17th Academy Awards in 1945 when Barry Fitzgerald became the only performer in Oscar history to receive nominations for both lead and supporting actor for the same role Father Fitzgibbon in âGoing My Wayâ The Academy soon after limited each performance to a single nomination IANS

singles which I have composed And I have done it along with my brother Younger brother But I would say that there is a composer in a singerâShe said that it cant be two different pathways as when a singer is given a song not all composers ask them to follow it completelyShe told IANS âYou also think âWhat can I add to the songâ When you are on the mic you are constantly being creative Adding to the color of the song To enhance it in some way Or adding your soul to it And in that process You end up adding some compositions and some ideas And it is a very fluid processâShe cited lack of time

save myself a lot from that temptation because there is a lack of time laughs I want to do it But somehow I have to choose And I feel maybe I am not that great as a composerââThe people who I really look up to like I idolize Lata Ji as a singer Asha Ji as a singer Like that I have a lot of respect for the composers So with such people If you compare yourself you will feel theyâre so far above in

Shreya Ghoshal has shared that a singer always has a composer inside them and itâs very important for a singer to cultivate the bent of mind of a composer to do justice to a song The singer spoke with IANS while travelling for shows across the globe When asked if itâs hard to fight the temptation to turn composer she said âThe fight is hard because I keep doing it I have released a couple of singles which I have composed And I have done it along with my brother Younger brother But I would say that there is a composer in a singerâShe said that it cant be two different pathways as when a singer is given a song not all composers ask them to follow it completelyShe told IANS âYou also think âWhat can I add to the songâ When you are on the mic you are constantly being creative Adding to the color of the song To enhance it in some way Or adding your soul to it And in that process You end up adding some compositions and some ideas And it is a very fluid processâShe cited lack of time as the reason behind not fully stepping into music composing as she shared âIf you are doing independent music it gives you a much more free hand to do that For films sometimes it is very rigid But I save myself a lot from that temptation because there is a lack of time laughs I want to do it But somehow I have to choose And I feel maybe I am not that great as a composerââThe people who I really look up to like I idolize Lata Ji as a singer Asha Ji as a singer Like that I have a lot of respect for the composers So with such people If you compare yourself you will feel theyâre so far above in their craft Thats why I am on that singular journey to be able to sing well But I might spring into composing You will hear meâ she added IANS

of minimize the sensory clutter that you can have by shutting the lights offâJohnson said that he likes to try and stay really focused in the gym but being dark in the gym really âlike hyper focused

that as a sign from the universe There it is right there Stay humble stay hungry Maybe there should be a third line Stay humble stay hungry and pay your light bill Thats the story Im sticking with

lights off created an even more hyperfocused environment that minimized sensory clutter so every rep every negative every pause squeeze had a sharper edgeââAlso my breathing control had a different pulse to it since I could hear my breath through the grind and labor Iâm not advocating for âlights out trainingâ all the time but give it a shot if you can control your training environment It was a
