    Which actor troubled Farah Khan in her debut film?

    Bollywood director and choreographer Farah Khan talked about her first-ever directorial experience, ‘Main Hoon Na,’ where she worked with veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah. She also discussed how she completed his work ahead of schedule.She recently appeared in an interview on the YouTube channel of IFTDA Official.

    Farah Khan, a director and choreographer, recalled her first film’s production with ‘moody’ Naseeruddin Shah and revealed why she completed his shoot in six days instead of ten days.”I initially approached Naseeruddin Shah for a role, but he was being his usual moody self.

    He made a fuss and declined, saying he couldn’t do it. However, I later offered him a 10-day role as Shahrukh’s father, and I said him, ‘Come on, at least take on this character.’ Naseeruddin Shah gave me such a hard time that I wrapped up his 10-day role in just six days! I told the team, ‘Let’s finish his shooting quickly’. But despite the challenges, he’s been absolutely wonderful to work with. I love Naseer.”All’s well that ends well. We hope the two collaborate on another venture soon

    Nora Fatehi says early days in Bollywood were ‘painful’

    Nora Fatehi, the Canadian-born Bollywood actress and dancer who has shot to fame, reflected on her early days and struggles in Bollywood, describing them as “painful”.
    During a recent interview, Nora discussed the efforts she made to establish herself in the industry, and the challenges she faced during her initial days in India.

    “When I arrived in India, I had only 5,000 rupees, and at that time, I had no idea what 1,000 dollars meant. I used to live in an apartment with nine mentally ill girls, two of whom I shared a room with.”
    She alleged that the agencies through whom she wanted to enter the showbiz world were also involved in her harassment.
    “While living with nine girls in an apartment, I used to question myself about the difficult situation I had put myself in. Even today, those initial dreadful days still shock me,” she recalled.

    “In the beginning, talent hunting agencies made me work more and paid me less. I survived for a long time on just one egg and bread. It was one of the most difficult times for me. I also needed treatment after moving to India, but I did not have enough money to go to a good hospital for my treatment.”

  • Sheema Kermani expelled from British High Commission event for chanting ‘Ceasefire Now’

    Sheema Kermani expelled from British High Commission event for chanting ‘Ceasefire Now’

    Classical dancer and activist Sheema Kermani was “ejected” from an event held at the British High Commission in Karachi for raising a slogan in favour of the people of Gaza.

    Ms Kermani, founder of Tehreek-i-Niswan, was invited for an event in the High Commission to celebrate the birthday of King Charles III on Friday with many other artists also present. “They were all congratulating the British Government and the royal family without any mention of the atrocities taking place in Gaza. I just had to do what I did. I couldn’t stay silent. Sadly, when the other guests saw me being thrown out and my leaving, none of them, not even one of them, decided to also take a stand and join me,” she told Dawn.

    Sheema raised the slogan of “Ceasefire Now” as the speakers were making speeches and sending congratulatory messages to Britain. Security personnel instantly took charge and tried to force her out of the event. “That’s when I asked them to not touch me as I would see myself out,” Ms Kermani stated after the regrettable incident.

    A spokesperson for the British Deputy High Commission responded to the incident by saying that Ms Kermani was shouting during “an important speech about climate change in Pakistan by the British Deputy High Commissioner”. It was then that the “security personnel came forth to stop her from shouting. But then she left on her own. So it won’t be correct to say that we threw her out.”
