âthe shape of lifeâ where solitude and happiness often coexistHe wrote âThis is my tenth solo trip Maybe twelfth I have stopped counting The first ones were adventures I chose Now they are mostly the shape of my life friends with their schedules family with theirs mine somewhere in the middle the only person reliably available being meââYou walk into a new place You meet someone at a bar They

everything is rightâThe actor added âThe thing nobody warned me about at some point solo stops being a choice and becomes a way of life The schedules around you dont line up The people you love are

have a tidy answer to this Im not even sure its a problem to be solved What I have is the observation That being alone and being loved can completely coexist That a body can dance while a mind sits

loving hyper enthusiastic family who blindly thinks Iâm the best actress in the world my friends who ground me my fan clubs and fans who have shown me so much love and continue to do so

it exists So women constantly have to prove themselves not just professionally but also at home If they work they are judged If they do not work they are judged again she went on to addSaba concluded by saying that the expectations from women are endless making their struggle far more challengingWhen asked if the male ego still feels challenged by strong women Saba pointed out that society still functions within a patriarchal structure Men are often raised to believe they are superior to women so when they encounter strong women it can challenge their conditioning Their ego gets hurt because they are not used to seeing women as equals she explainedBut growth comes from learning The moment we accept these truths instead of ignoring them we can evolve and change Learning never stops Whenever I meet a strong woman my instinct is to learn from her Women multitask effortlessly and carry emotional strength in ways society often overlooks There is so much to learn from them Saba added

should not be this this should not be that No Im sorryâThe actress feels that the audience has to have to make that judgement for themselves one has to learn that at homeâThe audience should watch a film to be entertained by it Its a story at the end of the day Only then can we make good stories There are so many times where films are based on real life incidents on true stories Art is a

out something unique to his every character despite working in the same genre at times Speaking exclusively to IANS Saif said that when one is true to themselves a part of the uniqueness of their personality ends up reflecting in the character as well making it refreshing He was asked There are so many crime dramas across platforms As actors what efforts do you put in to bring out something more from your sideSharing his views Saif told IANS For me I think the idea is to play the person not just like a cop So people are obviously differentIf I have to do the same thing again you know the rooted cop with the dialect somehow the director creates a different environment thats where he comes in The producers also have to figure out how the show is going to look different It must be difficult because there are a lot of people who like watching crime dramas he further went on to explainI guess if you are true to yourself there is nobody like you So hopefully we all are true to ourselves and bring a little of ourselves to the character concluded the Omkara actorSaifs Kartavya costar Rasika Dugal echoed the same sentiment saying I feel even if its the same genre everybodys script is different no two scripts are like each other and there is a new voice telling a new story and there are new people putting in their new experiences their own aspirations their own prejudices into the work So it turns out to be different every single timeSo the worry is never that we should try and do something different the Mirzapur actress concludedTalking about Kartavya Ruchikaa Kapoor

of Siddhu in the television show âGanga Mai Ki Betiyanâ has called his character in the show a rare sight in the medium of television The actor said that his character stands out because of his ability to protect the other personâs peace dignity and happiness In the upcoming track of the show viewers will witness Indu Rani played by Shraddha Jaiswal laying a trap for Siddhu and Sneha by locking them inside a room with the intention of ruining Snehaâs dignity and breaking her upcoming marriage with Shantanu played by Shehzad Shaikh Her plan is that when the villagers arrive in the morning they will assume Siddhu and Sneha spent the night togetherHowever despite getting a chance where Snehaâs relationship with Shantanu could break and he could possibly bring his love back into his life Siddhu chooses a different path He quietly hides himself before the door opens ensuring that nobody finds out he was in the room with Sneha The moment beautifully highlights how for Siddhu Snehaâs dignity peace and happiness matter far more than his own emotions and love storyTalking about his part in the show the actor said âPersonally I feel Siddhu stands apart from typical TV male leads because his love is deeply rooted in selflessness respect and understanding boundaries He is a rare male character who understands that love is not about possession or winning someone back but about protecting the other personâs peace dignity and happinessââEven when Siddhu gets a moment where he could think about bringing Sneha back into his life he chooses her wellbeing over his own emotions and silently steps back For me Siddhuâs silent sacrifice is what makes him televisionâs most respectful lover and truly proves that real love is about protection respect and wanting the best for the person you love even if it doesnât favour your own love storyâ he addedâGanga Mai Ki Betiyanâ airs on Zee TV IANS

be crying before youâve even started All this stuff was inside me and I didnât quite know what to do with itShe added That type of material invigorates me The work in which I am having to explore an

opposed Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandezâs plea seeking to turn approver in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case linked to alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar telling a Delhi court that her conduct during the investigation was ânot satisfactoryâ and that she failed to fully cooperate with the probe Appearing before the Patiala House Court the federal antimoney laundering agency contended that Jacqueline did not make a âfull and true disclosureâ in her statements recorded under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act PMLAThe ED said that during the course of the investigation Jacquelineâs conduct was not cooperative as she âconsistently failed to make full and truthful disclosuresâ in connection with the proceeds of crime allegedly generated by ChandrashekharOpposing her plea to become a prosecution witness the ED further alleged that Jacqueline continued to remain in regular contact with Chandrashekhar even after becoming aware of his criminal antecedentsAccording to the probe agency Chandrashekhar had arranged âall benefits gifts and valuablesâ for Jacqueline out of the proceeds of crime generated through the alleged money laundering activitiesAfter hearing the submissions the Patiala House Court granted time to Jacqueline Fernandezâs counsel to file a rejoinder to the EDâs reply and posted the matter for further hearing on May 12The ED has accused Jacqueline of allegedly receiving luxury gifts worth around Rs 7 crore from Chandrashekhar However the actor has consistently maintained that she had no knowledge

of the money laundering proceedings initiated against her by the EDSenior advocate Mukul Rohatgi appearing for Jacqueline before the apex court had argued that she could not be prosecuted under Sections 3 and 4 of the PMLA as she had no knowledge that the gifts received from Chandrashekhar were proceeds of crimeThe Justice Dattaled Bench however referred to the Supreme Courtâs judgment in the Vijay Madanlal Choudhary case upholding the EDâs powers under the PMLA and observed that allegations at the stage of framing of charges must be accepted as they standThe ED has filed multiple charge sheets in the case and named Jacqueline Fernandez as an accused in a supplementary prosecution complaint while another Bollywood actor Nora Fatehi was examined as a witnessThe probe agency has alleged that Chandrashekharâs aide Pinky Irani facilitated the delivery of luxury gifts and expensive items to Jacqueline on his behalfThe money laundering case stems from allegations that Chandrashekhar cheated the wives of former Ranbaxy promoters Shivinder Singh and Malvinder Singh of nearly Rs 200 crore However Fernandez maintained that she had no role in laundering Chandrashekharâs alleged illegal wealthThe 40yearold Sri Lankan actress who entered Bollywood after winning the Miss Universe Sri Lanka crown in 2006 has been a prominent figure in Hindi cinema for over a decade also
