    Hina Dilpazeer surprised to find out Anil Kapoor is her fan

    Actress Hina Dilpazeer shared a surprising revelation during a recent interview, stating that Bollywood star Anil Kapoor is a fan of her work.

    Recently, she appeared as a guest on the show ‘Zabardast’, where she talked about how a Bollywood actor admired her.

    “Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor, after watching my drama ‘Quddusi Sahab Ki Bewah,’ appreciated my work and invited me for a project. There were talks about an Indian film as well, but due to the political situation between the two countries, I couldn’t take on the project. If another offer comes, I will work there,” she states.

    Hina also described a bitter experience from a private award show, which later turned into a heartwarming moment.

    Narrating the incident, she said, “Once, I was invited abroad with the promise of receiving an award at a show, but the award was later given to someone else.”

    She continued, “I can never forget the humiliation I felt at that moment. But later that night, as everyone was returning with their awards, the hotel lobby was filled with my fans, including mentally and physically challenged children who loved my character ‘Momo.’”

    She further shared, “At that time, I wasn’t wearing ‘Momo’s’ signature glasses, so a child gave me his glasses in fear and hid behind his mother. I wore those glasses and performed as Momo for the children. Seeing the smiles on their faces instantly cooled my anger. I forgave everyone who mistreated me, and asked Allah for forgiveness because maybe He brought me abroad for this purpose.”

    ‘Every actor has the right to protect themselves’: Anil Kapoor wins landmark case against AI

    Veteran Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor has won a landmark case preventing his image from being used in any manner by Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.

    The actor filed a case with the Delhi High Court, after numerous morphed videos and emojis featuring his iconic phrase ‘jhakas’ from the 1985 film ‘Yudh’ went viral on social media.

    The suit had asked for protection for the actor’s personality rights including his name, image, likeness, voice against any misuse on social media, and listed various instances of how the actor’s attributes were being misused. After a detailed hearing, the court sided with Anil Kapoor by acknowledging his personality rights, and restrained users from misusing the attributes without his permission or consent.

    Speaking to Variety, Anil Kapoor said he was happy with the order.

    “I’m very happy with this court order, which has come in my favor, and I think it’s very progressive and great for not only me but for other actors also. Because of the way technology and the AI technology, which is which is evolving every day [and] which can completely take advantage of and be misused commercially, as well as where my image, voice, morphing, GIFs and deep fakes are concerned, I can straight away, if that happens, send a court order and injunction and they have to pull it down.”

    “It’s not only for me,” the ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ actor stressed. “Today, I’m there to protect myself, but when I’m not there, the family should have the right to protect my [personality] and gain from it in future.”

    “My intention is not to interfere with anyone’s freedom of expression or to penalize anyone. My intent was to seek protection of my personality rights and prevent any misuse for commercial gains, particularly in the current scenario with rapid changes in technology and tools like artificial intelligence.”

    AI is a central element to the SAG-AFTRA strikes in Hollywood. Anil Kapoor expressed solidarity with the ongoing strike.

    “This [the court order] should be great positive news for all of them to a certain extent. And I am always, completely with them in every which way, and I feel their rights should be protected, because everybody, big, small, popular, not popular, every actor has the right to protect themselves and their rights.”

  • Sonam Kapoor set to make her on-screen comeback after pregnancy

    Sonam Kapoor set to make her on-screen comeback after pregnancy

    Bollywood diva Sonam Kapoor is going to make a comeback to the big screen after taking a break from acting following the birth of her son in 2022. Pinkvilla has reported that the ‘Aisha’ actress spoke about wanting to do only two projects a year, aiming for those that appeal to family audience:

     “I’m looking to do two projects year on year from here on and I’m going to look for scripts that are hugely entertaining & engaging. I’m being drawn to subjects that appeal to a wider audience segment so that we can enjoy movies as a family, as a community.”

    The actress also said she would love to do films that entertain audiences, because it brings her joy to see people forget their current reality and enjoy cinema:

    “I have always loved to be a part of projects that have entertained audiences. As I return to the cinemas post pregnancy, I will endeavor to do just that because it brings me joy to see people forget about their current reality to enjoy cinema and the world that it can create for us.”

    The actress had opened up in April about dealing with post-partum period in an interview with Grazia India, where she discussed the immense pressure put on moms to lose their post-delivery weight, and how it wrecks your self-confidence:

    “I’m not scared of anything in that sense, ageing or anything else but I just don’t feel like myself. If I’m shooting, I send my measurements in advance, I don’t want to come back feeling like I’m not fitting into these tiny clothes, it plays a huge havoc on your self-confidence.”

    Kapoor said she was taking her time and taking care of her health while breast feeding her baby, and was not following any diet plans:

    “I’m not back to what I used to be and I’m not even pushing myself – I’m still breastfeeding, and I hope to continue for at least a year. Your body needs the food, rest, and energy while you’re doing that. I’m not on any crazy diet, I’m exercising – I exercised through my pregnancy – and being healthy. I took care of myself through my pregnancy and I’m going to continue doing that and not check the scales.”

    A video of Bollywood star Sonam Kapoor is resurfacing on social media, from her last appearance on Koffee With Karan.

    In the video, the Neerja star is asked by the host Karan Johar that with whom she shares the best chemistry?, Sonam’s brother Harshvardhan Kapoor jumped in and took Fawad Khan’s name. The Delhi 6 star stated that she thinks the same and she loved her chemistry with Fawad. She concluded on a humorous note by saying that Karan sent him back to Pakistan.

    Her statement left Karan shocked but he let it pass.

    Kapoor worked with Khan in Disney’s Khoobsurat. The film gave Fawad his first break in Bollywood, for which he even received a Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut.

    Sonam grabbed headlines earlier this year for her pregnancy and the unfortunate robbery at her Delhi residence did not take place in just a day, rather, the thieves gradually stole precious items over a span of 10-11 months.

    “The jewelry and cash were stolen in a span of 10-11 months, as and when the accused nurse got a chance,” a Delhi Police official told IANS.

    A complaint was lodged two months back, on February 23, regarding a theft at the residence of Harish Ahuja at Amrita Shergil Marg in Delhi. Notably, Harish Ahuja is the father-in-law of Sonam Kapoor.

    The Saawariya star’s father Anil Kapoor thanked Delhi Police on twitter for their successful investigation.

    She added further that two years back, prior to the Pulwama attack she was offered to play Akshay Kumar’s Sikh mother in a big budget film by the biggest production house of India. Akshay was last seen as a Sikh in Karan Johar’s Kesari costarring Parineeti Chopra.

    The Pardes diva stated that even the negotiations for the signing amount were formalised.

    Although her first Bollywood offer was the art film, Khamosh Paani in 2003 but she couldn’t sign it because of her family life, especially her daughter’s schooling. She was replaced by Bollywood star Kirron Kher in the film.
