“I THINK I AM NOBODY TO JUDGE WHETHER I SHOULD GET CREDIT OR NOT.”– PARINEETI CHOPRA What gets to you the most about being an actor? Sometimes the lack of privacy! There is no moment which is completely yours. It is always shared with the world and people. It’s more difficult when you’ve not grown in a famous home and you are used to a certain amount of privacy or you are used to a certain type of lifestyle so that definitely is something you really need to learn to adapt to. But it is a very small price to pay for being loved by your fans How different is it to work in an ensemble cast film? It is not different actually, it is almost exciting for an actor…

A huge favourite with the viewers because of her amazing beauty, Nusrat Jahan, Kolkata’s firebrand actor has always listened to her heart. And, why not? Known to have strong views, she has always spoke up when necessary and has never hesitated to mince words. Perhaps that’s why political parties were quick to woo her and she too being politically inclined agreed to be a sitting MP for Trinamool Congress. But she’s indeed controversy’s fave child. Many years ago, she was pushed rather reluctantly into the limelight not for her acting prowess but for the company she kept. Supposedly, her then boyfriend was allegedly one of the prime accused of the Park Street rape incident. Of course at that point, the ethereally beautiful Nusrat Jahan who had nothing to do with…

“NO, IT’S NOT ENTIRELY TRUE. SHREYAS DID NOT GIVE ME A HARD TIME.”– KASHMERA SHAH Kashmera, this is your second film as director, how has the experience been? Every film is a very different experience. Lot of times you prepare a script and decide that this is how the film is going to be but what happens on the set or what happens on the location is a completely different story. The same thing happened with my film. It began very well but by the time, we reached the outdoor location - the second half was supposed to go one way and though 80% of the time it did go that way, I realised that I had to handle a lot more things than just direction. A good director is…

They’ve broken the mould when they made this strong bold lady. Her interviews were a delight – bold, unapologetic and explosive. Indeed, Kalpana Iyer was and is a firecracker. She personified the ‘naughty’ vamp on screen to the T and though she was a bit under-rated and loomed under the shadow of Bindu and Helen for a while. Kalpana Iyer made her presence felt no matter how long her character would be. In her personal life, there were hushed whispers about a love tryst with Amjad Khan but both she and the late Amjad Khan negated it always. In the latter part of her life, she has tried her hand as a restaurateur in Dubai. She also tried out a bit of TV but as of now, this wonderful lady…

“I NEVER INTENDED TO BE AN EDUCATOR. I WANTED TO MAKE MY FILMS MY WAY BUT REACH THE WIDEST POSSIBLE AUDIENCE.” – MIRA NAIR Filmmaker Mira Nair is the creator of stories that have led me on a journey of both self and social discovery. As a five-year-old about to make my first trip to India (Mumbai) from the US, Salaam Bombay! introduced me to the reality of the life of street children and prepared me for the heartbreak that I would encounter once I landed in the country. As a ten-year-old growing up in America, Mississippi Masala highlighted people of my ethnicity in a mainstream film for the first time, in a story we could otherwise never have spoken about. Lastly, The Namesake revealed internal and external conflicts as…

“PROFESSIONALLY, I THINK I’M IN A GOOD PLACE.”- SHAHID KAPOOR What is the most exciting thing happening in your life right now? Well, on the personal front, it is obviously fatherhood. It is very exciting and very new. You are a hands-on father? I don’t know what the standards of a hands-on father are. But yes, I am trying to do everything I possibly can. I’ve been told that I am a bit obsessive and a bit too into it. And that I need to chill out and go work. That’s what I’ve been hearing a lot now. Scared of being replaced in that time probability? Sure. Sometimes you have to be okay. It is about prioritisation and what is more important. You decide this is more important to me…

She debuted in 2012 with Cocktail and even though the super talented Deepika Padukone hogged every frame in the film, Diana Penty held her own ground too. No wonder, it earned her several nominations in the best debut category. But after that, she spaced herself out quite a bit. Of course, her films Happy Bhaag Jayegi, Lucknow Central and Parmanu: The Story Of Pokhran earned her critical acclaim for her understated yet powerful performances. But then after, the aloof Diana Penty seemed to disappear from the limelight. In fact, she didn’t have any film release in 2020 and in 2021 except for a special appearance in a dance sequence, she just faded into the shadows. So where did the girl disappear? No where it seems for Diana recently came back…

She’s indeed an ethereal beauty – perhaps in the same mould as the classic bea uties of yore. That’s right; we are talking about Anil Kapoor’s ladli Sonam Kapoor whose flawless beauty is indeed the talk of the town. On screen or off it, Sonam Kapoor is always perfectly turned out whether she’s at Cannes showing off her haute couture style or lounging prettily at her London home, dressed casually in a chic jumpsuit and a pair of sneakers. SO BEAUTIFUL So how does she manage to look so good all the time? Well, yes agreed, it is her good genes that help in making her look so good but along with that, Sonam also has the perfect skincare routine. SKIN WIN Sonam is on point whether it is her…
