cents on Arijit Singhâs reported retirement from playback saying the film music industry still needs the singer even as he respects his decision to explore independent music Kirkire noted that while the fast pace of Bollywood can be exhausting a creative break could help the acclaimed singer return refreshedSpeaking about Arijitâs retirement and Neha Kakkarâs break Kirkire told IANS âArijit Singh taking retirement thatâs not something that should have happened because they are young and brilliant and the film music world needs them a lot it rides on their shoulders Maybe they got tired of that you knowâTalking about Airijit he shared âMaybe he got bored because heâs many more things heâs a filmmaker he wants to do other things also So Iâm sure he has his reasons and he can afford to do that

has changed the music landscape allowing artistes to create and release music beyond filmsâIn the world of streaming apps the music scene has changed a lot because now music for musicâs sake is also coming out You donât need to make music only for films anymore Lots and lots of new artists and even established ones are doing that They donât want to get into films they are just doing their independent music and that is refreshingâKirkire shared that he too has been focusing on independent projects alongside his film assignments He has released several nonfilm tracks some of which have

music were there but earlier there was music mostly made for films Now if you look closely more independent music is being made compared to film music and this had to happen It has become extremely easy for a musician a singer a composer to make a song and to release it it was not the case earlier Now all the music is digitalbased hence it has become easier for the makers to make music There is no restriction in case there is no film no impediment as a creator as a musician as a singer or as a composer You have all the freedom to do what you wantHe added that given how things are moving it can be assumed that independent music will reach new heights in the future and will also cater to a bigger audienceSo the expression of the art form of music has gone really high up because of independent music and I believe it will grow even further It will reach new heights and will be available to more people and this is just the beginning the composer went on to addTowards the end Salim

me be the aggressor to Dharmjiâs character in Teesri Ankh sicIn her latest Instagram post Zeenat revealed how things changed so much within a short span of only two yearsDid things really change quite that radically for Hindi cinema heroines in the two short years that passed between the two films Itâs doubtful but I do think this scene offers a nice gender flip on the usual trope Here Dharmjiâs Ashok is naive and imposed upon while my Barkha is roguish and completely inappropriate She aggressively pursues him while he plays the reluctant and irritated object of her desireThe veteran actress further pointed out that the reason why one scene seems delightful but the other one is infuriating is due to the traditional role reversal The truth is I canât endorse Barkhaâs approach just as I couldnât endorse Inspector Vijayâs Banter and mischief are excellent tools of courtship but I think our industry sometimes took these to the extremeZeenat Aman shared that several of our films glorify obsession and limerence instead of portraying real and healthy love something she also finds herself guilty ofNow I recognise that I have played a part in propagating the ludicrous idea of romance that Bollywood has exported to Indians everywhere So this is my twobit effort to address it Let me be clear when it comes to relationships consent is nonnegotiable and respect has to flow both ways
