2000s and can relate to the struggles of stars such as Britney Spears as the stardom she achieved left her unprepared for the poor response to setbacksSpeaking to Variety Scherzinger said When youre so young you dont realise it at the time but that time of growth is taken from you I wonder about that with Britney Spears That time was stripped from her Is there a part of you that is stunted and youre not able to growShes definitely found herself in very codependent needy relationships and I have as well And feeling desperate Ive felt that way in relationships as wellScherzinger was feted with the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her portrayal of Norma Desmond in the West End and Broadway revivals of Sunset Boulevard but was reluctant to take the role initially reports

hasbeen movie star Thats the role that you see for meThe actress said that she could relate to her character a faded star from the silent movie era because of how the industry can leave stars behindThe singer said I definitely had my time in the limelight like her and the industry moves on without you On a personal level I really related to Normas struggles with loneliness and abandonment

but a symbolic representation of the films powerful narrative about justice and courage Emraan shared Recreating the Haq poster in front of the Supreme Court wasnt just a visual moment it was symbolic The film is inspired from a landmark case that changed the course of justice in India and standing there reminded us of the real stories that inspired itYami Gautam added Justice may take time but it never leaves you alone HAQ is a voice that sparks reform and with this film we revisit that once powerful judgement that ignited reformEmraan and Yami who have kickstarted Delhi promotions for their film recently revisited the iconic steps of the Supreme Court of India to recreate the poster of their upcoming film HAQ The Supreme Court of India plays a pivotal role in the film symbolizing its core conflictthe clash between personal law and secular law Haq draws inspiration from a landmark Supreme Court judgment delivered in the 1980s which continues to hold relevance even todayDirected by Suparn Verma HAQ tells the story of a Muslim woman who challenges the system and takes her battle to court seeking justice for herself and her children under Section 125 The film delves into themes of faith identity liberalism and the complex interplay between personal laws and the Uniform Civil Code envisioned under Article 44 The film is slated to hit theatres on November 7 2025At the films trailer launch event Emraan Hashmi was asked whether being a Muslim made it feel like an added responsibility to take up a project like HAQHe said When I read a script like this I see it as an actor and for the first time in this film I also had to bring in the perspective of a Muslim Going back to the landmark case the country was divided into two parts One was on the side of religion and personal faith the other was on the side of constitutional rights and secular rights But I wanted to see if the director and writers point of view in this film is balanced unbiased and neutral So the short answer is yes It was very neutral IANS https://dailyworld.in/entertainment/emraan-hashmi-explains-why-recreating-haq-poster-outside-the-supreme-court-was-symbolic-645545.html Thu, 30 Oct 2025

coming to me and talking to me about Masoom Most of them so young that they were not even born when the film released Theyve seen it on TV YouTube etc Now as I am heading to make Masoomthe next generation I really want to recapture that sense of joy of film making but I worry Ive just come back from an extensive trip in Mumbai and all my film maker friends speak of film making as a task not as something joyful Most talk about interference from finding sources I find that really surprisingShekhar added Masoom was my first film I had not assisted anyone nor even read a book on film making I just wanted to tell a story and told it as best as I could and as simply as I could And as honestly as I could Is it true that words like simplicity joy honesty story telling has gone out of films

viral hit song Sahiba doesnt craft his music keeping the social media dynamics in mind The singersongwriter spoke with IANS recently during the promotions of his music reality streaming show Ipopstar and said that while he considers social media as an important factor in distribution of his music he doesnt make music which is shackled by the algorithmHe told IANS Social media cannot be the criteria while creating a song If I make a song thinking that I want it to be a hit then my entire thought process will be the same There should be honesty in the way I make my music If you think about how the song will manifest itself on social media then you are not thinking about the art first You are not thinking about what you want to make You are thinking about what you will make that will become viral And personally I have never made a song thinking about it I have many songs which have become big And they didnt become big because I had thought that I would post it today and it will go viral on social media tomorrow 6 months later or 1 year laterHe further mentioned Right now my biggest song that I have is Sahiba It blew up after one and a half years So Im a firm believer in it If I think It worked so lets do something similar to make it work more to make a formula Then it wont sit right with me as an artiste I strive to make a good song till then I wont sit idle I have thoughts I have ideas Ill do more work Every song has its own time Of course social media is important Those songs have been on social media as well A lot of good people have liked them But its not because of me Its because someone liked the song they made something on it Ten more people listened to it They liked it The song finds its own way IANS

during emotional lows to now being seen as strong allies in the early weeks their dynamics took a sharp turn in the latest episode leaving Tanya visibly feelingThe episode began with tensions brewing between Tanya Mittal Neelam Giri and Farhana BhattTanya who had been one of Neelams closest friends was abused by housemates of each ring after she chose to maintain friendship with Farhana the very contestant who had emotionally hurt Neelam during a previous taskThe situation escalated quickly with most housemates including Neelam cornering Tanya and holding her responsible for Neelams breakdownWhat left Tanya most disturbed however was Amaal Malliks reactionInstead of offering support Amaal appeared detached and dismissiveAmaal was heard saying that Tanya was an attention seeker and would probably be happy now that everyone is talking about her His words deeply hurt Tanya who had earlier been one of his biggest emotional supporters in the houseIn the initial weeks Tanya was often seen calming Amaal during his text messages reassuring him when he felt misunderstood and standing by him through difficult momentsHowever after Malti saw his wild card entry the equation began to changeMalti was seen attempting to influence Amaals opinion of Tanya telling him that Tanyas actions were purely strategic something that seemed to impact his behaviour towards herLater Tanya tried to clarify her stance to Neelam saying that her friendship for her doesnt seem to be mutual and that maybe Neelams emotions were shaped by her own convenienceDespite her efforts Tanya ended the day

realms beyond the ones which can be perceived is unraveling the use and implications of artificial intelligence in the age of the 5th industrial revolution He shared his philosophical thought on how will be the future and the organisations shaped up by the AI On Thursday the filmmaker took to his X formerly Twitter and penned a long note as he reflected on the fascinating world of AIThe filmmaker started off with a pertinent questioning asking Will your organisation survive AIHe said that AI is perhaps the most democratic technology to become available to the mankindHe wrote AI will change everything Its an existential change to the way we live the way we work the way we communicate But its also a complete change in the way we organise ourselves into structures Maybe we should stop calling it Structure For Structure suggests some permanence In the world of AI change is constant Change at an unprecedented pace AI will suck inertia out of existing structures out of the pathways of hierarchical command systems of Structures causing the pyramidical structures to collapseHe further mentioned What does an organisation look like in the world of AI With no hierarchy no chain of commands No structure Of course you could question why do we need organisations The reason is that like most living beings we are tribalHe went on We need to group together Whatever we are told about individualism by the so called Gurus falls false for are they not themself creating tribalism around themselves Lets look at the murmurings of the sparrows where flocks of hundreds or thousand sparrows will form patterns in the sky collectively changing their paths instantly with apparently no leader and no follower collectively Whats working there is Intuition Each sparrow is intuitively connected to the collective the group Intuition is the way we will respond to organising ourselves and remember these groups will never be permanent Individuals will constantly move from one tribe to

setback to actor Mohanlal and the Kerala government the High Court on Friday quashed the states order that had legalised the actors collection of some ivory tusks However reacting to the order the actors counsel said this was nothing but only a technical issueThe court also cancelled the licence issued to him and directed the Kerala government to issue a fresh notification in compliance with legal procedures of the landThe court observed that the 2015 Kerala government order regularising Mohanlals ivory collection suffered from procedural lapses and was never published in the official gazette rendering it invalidIt further noted that the Kerala governments action to legitimise the possession of ivory was not in accordance with statutory normsThe case traces back to December 21 2011 when the Income Tax Department conducted a raid at Mohanlals residence in Thevara Kochi and reportedly discovered two pairs of ivory tusksFollowing the raid the Forest Department registered a case against the actor for alleged illegal possession of ivoryThe issue resurfaced after the government moved to withdraw the case a decision later struck down by the Perumbavoor Judicial First Class Magistrate CourtMohanlal subsequently approached the Kerala High Court challenging the lower courts order while another petitioner James Mathew sought legal action against the actor for possession of the elephant tusksEarlier the trial court had directed Mohanlal to personally appear in connection with the case observing that the states withdrawal decision lacked meritThe actor later secured a stay from the Kerala High Court With Fridays judgment the High Court has reaffirmed the need for due process in matters involving wildlife protection and government interventionThe ruling not only reopens the legal scrutiny surrounding actor Mohanlals possession of ivory tusks but also places the state government under pressure to rectify procedural irregularities in its earlier decisions IANS

legal tussle between music maestro R Ilaiyaraaja and Sony Music Entertainment India Private Limited the company on Wednesday refused to furnish the musician with the statement of accounts detailing revenue earned from the commercial use of his compositions The issue came up for hearing before Justice N Senthilkumar of the Madras High Court Appearing for Sony Music senior counsel Vijay Narayan said that while his client had produced the statement of accounts in a sealed cover for the judges perusal it could not be shared with Ilaiyaraaja or his counsel as the document contained confidential commercial information including revenue from platforms such as Apple Music Amazon Music and Spotify He contended that Ilaiyaraaja could not seek such data unless he first established his legal right over the songs in question which were composed for films for which he had already received remuneration from the producers Opposing this argument senior counsel S Prabakaran representing Ilaiyaraaja said that the Supreme Court had repeatedly disapproved of the practice of submitting documents in sealed covers He urged the court to direct Sony Music to disclose the details openly asserting that withholding such information undermined transparency in judicial proceedings Justice Senthilkumar however decided against opening the sealed cover at this stage The judge was informed that Sony Music had already approached the Supreme Court seeking to transfer Ilaiyaraajas suit from the Madras High Court to the Bombay High Court where the company had filed a related civil suit in 2021 to declare itself the rightful copyright holder of certain songs composed by the veteran musician That case also sought to restrain Ilaiyaraaja from asserting commercial rights over those works Vijay Narayan further informed the court that the Supreme Court Bench comprising Chief Justice BR Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran had issued notice to Ilaiyaraaja on October 15 2025 and was expected to hear the transfer plea on November 26 Considering this Justice Senthilkumar observed that High Courts generally refrain from proceeding with cases pending transfer before the apex court Accordingly the judge directed the registry to list Ilaiyaraajas case for further hearing on November 27 2025 after the Supreme Courts decision on the transfer plea The statement of accounts submitted by Sony Music will remain unopened until then IANS https://dailyworld.in/entertainment/sony-music-declines-to-share-revenue-details-with-ilaiyaraaja-cites-confidentiality-in-madras-hc-644366.html Thu, 23 Oct 2025
