past forces her to confront her estranged mother IlaRazdan told varietycom that Kapurs novel instantly started a visual reactionWhen I read the book many years ago at that time it struck me as being very cinematically written It is descriptive in a way that evokes the inner landscape of the characters as well as the outer actual canvasShe said she found herself visualising the story long before she thought of making it into a filmRazdan added While a nation was on the verge of attaining its independence we have a young girl fighting for the same rights However at its core this film is a personal story or rather stories that are set in two different time periodsHaving previously starred in Yours Truly which screened at Busan in 2018 Razdan returned this year as director with Difficult DaughtersShe talked about the authenticity in recreating the past1940s small town Amritsar in Punjab has to be recreated but in parallel the casting is key So actors costumes and set design are the most important elements particularly for Difficult Daughters And last but not least the music there is huge opportunity here to be really out of the box in terms of how we go about marrying past and presentAlia who is one of biggest stars in India and head of Eternal Sunshine Productions framed the project as both personal and aligned with her companys ethos reports varietycomAt Eternal Sunshine we are always on the lookout for stories that strike a deep chord and stay with the audience long after the film ends Difficult Daughters is undoubtedly one of those Alia saidOf course its extra special to have my mom direct it but what truly makes it stand out for me is the shared belief we all have in this story Busan is a beautiful first step in its journey and we hope the film continues

Gulaal and on its producers and principal collaborators calling it a deliberate nonnegotiable stanceIt further mentioned When artists or makers normalize talent from a nation that openly supports terror they undermine the sentiments of 140 crore Indians and betray our armed forces We call upon every patriotic citizen to stand united this is not about politics it is about honouring the sacrifice of our soldiersThe body went on to target the BCCI calling it a corrupt cricket board as it said Unfortunately for the BCCI money has always come before the nation They allowed this shameful match to happen just for profit forgetting that India belongs to its brave soldiers not to corrupt cricket boards Only our soldiers have the courage to stand fearlessly against Pakistan while BCCI bends for money Even ICC Chairman Jay Shah could have stopped this match but he chose not to His silence speaks volumesLet it be clear This nation belongs to the soldiers who protect us Bharat is

Mansoor could be heard saying Well were a little worried because theyve got some pretty big guns with them and also we havent done too well Its a question of rebuilding our confidence and morale but I reckon that given specific and right conditions for the Indian team we can certainly do wellWell in fact I havent really played against much of this but I think that probably on our wickets being slow as I hope they will be that we should be able to dull it a little bit but they are a good pace attack and Im sure the pace attack will get more of their wickets and the spinners will Well given the right conditions I think we can bowl them out but they have to be specific conditions and it also depends on the composition of our team I mean weve got to have some very good close in catching and if our close in catching is successful theres no reason why we shouldnt do well but as I said its going to be a pretty tough series he addedFor the unversed Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi passed away on

promotional campaign of Tu Meri Poori Kahani and shared that there came a time when he became disinterested as a filmmaker but he loves the medium of cinema and wanted to give back something to the mediumHe told IANS There comes a time when you realise that you have been an expression of a time frame The decade in which you made films you are a byproduct of that Because you have lived those experiences and you have metabolized those responses which you convert into your story But then like everything else even the sun gets eclipsed So you realise that now that fire that is there in you is waning And the thirst that was there in you is vanishing There is no intensity there is no energy And then you find young talent who have an enormous thirst to keep on making filmsHe further mentioned that it is far more gratifying to make people than to make films as he said How much more hunger can you have for validation You have proved that you are a good filmmaker And with the kind

Andheri West area of Mumbai in the runup to the films release and shed light on the journey of SuhritaHe told IANS Well it started from the life she led She comes from Kolkata and I ran into her during the Durga Puja festival 11 years ago She told me that it was an unusual festival where the theme was about women She told me that she is a hairdresser Of course she is married and she has a rich husband and two children and she is settled by the worldly standard but there was something unsettled within her because she has this thirst for writing She believes that a woman should do work irrespective of being a housewife And she said that she cuts hair with the left hand and writes with the right hand So I was fascinated by herHe then asked her to send some of her writing samples She did so and he was impressed by the kind of recklessness her writing hadHe went on We were making a film called Hamari Adhuri Kahani And I wanted one scene in the very end of the film where the picture in a way dissolves with the character of Vidya Balan locking horns with the character of her husband where he comes to bully her for the end time And she finally stands up for herself and gives him a mouthful And I found that scene was the most unusual scene because it came from her lifeHe further mentioned It reflected her truth So I said she is a person who is capable of writing a story which is sourced from her living wounds unlike most people who manufacture stories through imagination by watching films here there everywhere Soon she started working on a project And that project we worked on the entire film but that project did not get finally onto the floors as it happens hereThe two also worked in the medium of television and made a show called Naamkaran But that time she was very honest and she told him Look I come from a literary background I dont know much about cinematic craftThe director shared She was perplexed and lost because in cinema we write in images and sound Its quite different from the literary worldSo she sat down like an empty slate And at times she used to get intimidated that I dont know anything I said no problem even we dont know anything we have learnt by reading You learn swimming by swimming you learn writing by writing he addedTu Meri Poori Kahani directed by Suhrita Das is set to release on September 26 2025 IANS

appearance is completely changing Some women probably will develop breasts sooner than their classmatesShe recalled that when she was 10 or 11 she started to look more mature than the other girls so I was a little conscious about itAlso it is a very scary time for any teenager as they have to be very careful with who they are interacting with So I remember I went to Goa with my friends and a few girls asked me about my age and I lied that I am 2 years older Because I looked 10 to 11 years old So that can be a very challenging time for teenagersKusha said that even now there are so many girls who feel insecureEven now I have a page where I tell women what to wear underneath There are schoolgoing girls who ask me what to wear under their shirt Now when I see this cycle women dont get a lot of days for themselvesThere is menstruation phase follicular phase etc and we are left with 45 days only And obviously nobody can say this to us Are you on your periods And men shouldnt do it

beauty of love that transcends making her fall in love with animals She revealed that like most Indian mothers she was initially extremely against the idea of having a pet at home but eventually her sons Azaan and Zahaan wore her down and brought Raphael homeSo when the black pup with a white star emblazoned on his chest arrived at our apartment I gave him a grudging pat and ordered him taken up to the terrace Then I laid down a simple rule no dogs in the house sic she wrote on her IGHowever the rule was broken shortly as her sons took off for college and Aman found herself falling slowly and surely in love with the fur buddyIn some of my darkest moments the only consolation I received was his wet muzzle on my lap and his adoring eyes telling me I could survive anything she addedRevealing how his passing away devastated her Aman shared Raphael lived with us for 14 joyous years When the time came to let him go I held his beloved old face in my hands and wept into his fur Those who havent ever loved an animal may blanch at my next statement but the only comparable pain I have felt in my life was the loss of my mother His death devastated me but it also showed me the beauty of love that transcends our own speciesThe Satyam Shivam Sundaram actress added how after Raphaels demise another pet pal came into her life in the form of LilyMiss Lily arrived in Caras arms during Raffys last days She was ostensibly a foster but I suspect the kids knew my impending grief would need an outlet no human can provide I was reluctant to bond with her at first afraid that would

the legendary singer Kishore Kumar has shared his opinion on the longevity of the songs in the current era of Hindi music The singer spoke with IANS ahead of the show at his office in the Khar area of Mumbai and said that bad songs are always present in every era and its not like that overall music is bad currently He said that composers are still making good songs and singers are giving their voice to those songsHe told IANS I have sung close to 3000 songs or more How many of my songs do you remember How long have they lived 10 15 at the most So thats just how it is Some songs will be filtered out some songs are generally bad so nothing could be done about that They were made then they are made now and they will continue to be made in the futureHe further mentioned that after the arrival of smartphones the consuming habits of listeners has immensely changed He said that social media and the smartphones have diminished the attention span of the audience as everything is so fast and hyperconnectedHe said Another thing is that since smartphones came along public memory public attention has become very short In just one day we do so many things In between that weve got some free time so we want to make the most of it Back then you could get a CD and we would happily listen to 6 or 7 songs Now the medium is like that on your phone you have billions of songs from across the worldIn the evening you can listen to one song two songs maybe 10 or 12 songs little by little So thats why until a song comes from within you into your mind your heart your brain it wont hold and you wont give it that chance how will that song last So earlier people had patience they had time and they didnt have this convenience of being able to listen to four songs in a minute he

original theatre gang for a powerful mono satirical comedy Tu Kya Hai which will be staged this month at Mumbais National Centre for Performing Arts NCPAAbhishek said in a statement Theatre is where I learnt to breathe as an artist It taught me rhythm truth and how to fail without fear For the last 20 years my journey has been about chasing roles telling stories and building a career in cinema but somewhere the stage kept calling me backThe play offers a biting satire on the lives of countless dreamers who leave behind the comfort of their homes to chase the elusive aspirations of becoming performance artists Their journeys are marked by moments of pain absurdity and struggle blurring the line between tragedy and comedyTu Kya Hai unfolds in three evocative chapters a typical middleclass Indian household that views art only as a hobby the chaotic yet comical hustle of Mumbais entertainment industry and the quiet internal conflicts that echo in the stillness of nightThe actor added that Tu Kya Hai is deeply personal because it holds up a mirror to my life and in many ways to anyone who has ever questioned themselvesIts about that latenight whisper we all hear Tu kya hai when the lights are off and the applause has faded Coming back to the theatre to perform with my old theatre friends feels like closing a circle or maybe starting a new one This isnt just a play for me its a

it or because theres a certain pressure to do it In my mind the perfect OTT debut involved something weighty a good solid part not a small part in a big showI wanted to play a character that was significant throughout the show And equally important for me was a good platform a good banner and directors I felt comfortable with because at the end of the day Ive always been a directors actor Do You Wanna Partner couldnt have been more perfect as my OTT series debut with Prime Video and Dharmatic being on board and with Archit Kumar and Colin DCunha leading the way Not to mention the opportunity to play Anahita a character I had been waiting for for a long time Id say the wait was definitely worthwhile added Diana PentyAmazon Prime Videos series also features Tamannaah Bhatia in
