industry reports Female First UKShe told Hollywood Authentic In some ways I really won the lottery with acting and what happened to me is so unusual But a bigger component than the actual job itself is the promotion and selling of that piece of work this piece of art The balance of that can get quite thrown offEmma misses performing on camera but she disliked other aspects of the film business She said I think Ill be honest and straightforward and say I do not miss selling things I found that to be quite souldestroying But I do very much miss using my skill set and I very much miss the art I just found I got to do so little of the bit that I actually enjoyedAs per Female First UK Emma starred in Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone at the age of 11 and shes always enjoyed the challenge of performing on cameraShe shared The moment you get on a film set you dont get very long for rehearsal But the moment you get to talk through a scene or I got to prepare and think about how I wanted to do something and then the minute the camera rolls and getting to just completely forget about everything else in the world other than that one moment its such an intense form of meditation Because you just cannot be anywhere elseHowever Emma has never enjoyed the pressure that shes faced throughout her career She said I dont miss the pressure I forgot it was a lot of pressureEmma also found that fame and success took a toll on her personal life The movie star has therefore made a concerted effort to build some good foundations in her life IANS

condemned Pakistani cricketer Sahibzada Farhans gunfire celebration in which he held his bat like a gun and made a firing gesture The Pakistani batsman made the gesture after scoring a 50 in the recent match against India during the ongoing Asia Cup Taking a dim view of the situation AICWA reiterated its stance of not engaging with Pakistani nationals in any sporting or cultural activitiesThe body said in a statement that it has always maintained a clear and uncompromising stand that no Pakistani artiste will ever be allowed in the Indian film industry Any Indian filmmaker or producer who casts Pakistani singers actors or performers will face a complete ban from AICWAIt then referenced the row around Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjhs film Sardaar Ji 3 as it said in a statement When Sardaar Ji 3 was made actorproducer Diljit Dosanjh collaborated with Pakistani artistes from the terror nation AICWA strongly opposed this act of betrayal and since then Diljit Dosanjh remains banned by us Even if others give him work in movies like Border 2 or elsewhere AICWA will continue to boycott him until he apologizes to the nation publiclyThe body had also imposed a ban on the film Abir 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 built on their sacrifice not on cricket money or cowardice Nation comes first always it addedThe strong stance of AICWA continues to be in force after the deadly Paksponsored terrorist attack on

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

their identity I have been able to accept myself more through this film And this change has been brought to me by Neeraj Ghaywan sir A lot of people go through a lot of difficulties especially in India who do not know how to speak English very well And when they come to such a spot in front of everyone where they cannot speak English in a very fluent way they feel left outHe further mentioned We come to the spot and feel scared because people judge us by your class If you speak English then you belong to a class And if you speak Hindi then you are seen with a different perspective and you are treated differently Maybe you are just as talented and deserving but because of your language you are judged differently And this fear that was in me I never knew where this fear was coming from Which path should I take I did not knowSo when I accepted myself that Yes I am not like this my upbringing is not like this my life experience my parents have not been able to educate me in such a good school but what they have been able to do is this And because of this I am sitting here today he addedThe actor said that he has reached a stage in his professional life owing to who he is If he had been more qualified or less qualified he would have not been cast in the film He casting came through because he was a perfect fit for the film with all his life experiences and upbringingHe said

release of his upcoming production Tu Meri Poori Kahani has spoken up on why he chose to nurture fresh talent and serve as their mentor The veteran filmmakerproducer spoke with IANS during the 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 of body of work you have done you have made all kinds of films You have made socalled middle of the road art films Janam Naam Zakhm Aashiqui Sadak you have made all kinds of films So what more do you want So a kind of monotony kicks in then you start getting disinterested So that phase had come into my life and thats when I decided to be a mentor to peopleHe went on Mentoring is not an easy job mentoring means hands off If my fingerprints are showing on the job of a fresh talent then its not their work its me I take utmost care that I give the space to young talent to learn from my experience but I leave the decisionmaking to them In this process if they fall I let them fall and make mistakes because what they will learn after falling and committing mistakes is something I wont be able to teach them everI got into that phase and let me tell you that it has been the most gratifying phase I started this with Vikram Bhatt when he made Raaz Then Anurag Basu came Kunal Deshmukh

fresh talent in Hindi cinema has spoken up on how he honed the skills of Suhrita Das the debutante director of his upcoming production Tu Meri Poori Kahani The veteran filmmaker spoke with IANS in the 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

making a return to theatre after two decades with a satire titled Tu Kya Hai Before his journey in Bollywood Abhishek began his artistic journey with stage plays in Delhi He is reuniting with his 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

audience For a country like ours which is so populous young and growing at such a fast pace there will be more and more need for such inspirational stories to be told and to be told in a way that young people relate withAjey The Untold Story of a Monk is inspired by Shantanu Guptas bestselling book The Monk Who Became Chief Minister and the rise of Yogi Adityanath from a humble boy in Uttarakhand to a prominent political figureAs part of his research the writer travelled extensively across Uttarakhand to locations central to Yogi Adityanaths formative yearsHe further mentioned I visited his birthplace Panchur as well as Rishikesh and Kotdwar where he did his college studies There are quite a few incidents of his life that are amazing and very emotional too Like how he was so close to his family and friends before he became a Yogi he had the same aspirations as any middleclass child And then suddenly to get detached from all this to serve society I kept wondering what kind of emotional journey he must have gone through and what his family must have feltThe film stars Anant Joshi as Yogi Adityanath alongside veteran actor Paresh Rawal in a pivotal roleFrom a very early age he fought for the safety and rights of women There is one particular incident where he fought against goons in his college for the same Books on personalities have all the information and incidents But they often lack the drama of storytelling and sometimes miss the emotional side of the personality As a screenwriter its important to bring in the human side into the story for it to be appealing and relatable to the audience That I think was one of the biggest challenges he addedAjey The Untold Story of a Monk is set to release in cinemas on September 19 2025 IANS
