Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who recently attended the Paris Fashion Week, weighed in on her sartorial choices, and referred to them as "effortless". "I would say, that's extremely important. For it to be effortless, and comfortable is important for me. I look at [fashion] as art, and think it must be enjoyed. It can evoke all kinds of responses." Stating that she negotiates between showcasing her style and letting her designers have their way, she adds, "Most of the people [designers] I have worked with are friends. Sometimes, there is a strong sense of me in my fashion, and sometimes, it's a flight of their creativity."

Having often poked fun at the antics of social media users, Saif Ali Khan recently shared the reason behind his absence from all platforms. Stating that social media platforms are "too time-consuming" to be of interest, he said, "Sometimes, I surf Instagram, and spend half an hour reading the most inane things. My wife says I'm not following the right things. Then, I delete the app because I feel I've wasted a lot of time; I could be reading a book or doing something more concrete with my time. Also, I don't want to engage too much with negativity. I find that it is just not for me," shared the actor.

We know her as the phenomenal producer who shines for her leadership qualities, but Guneet Monga Kapoor's decision to venture into this industry and make Mumbai her home was not an easy one to take. In the latest episode of mid-day's podcast, The Bombay Film Story, the Oscar winner lets her guard down and shares personal anecdotes of how her parents' deaths led her to leave her hometown, Delhi. "I was the only child. I had nowhere else to go. My friends from college had done their post-graduation, and I didn't have the time or money for it. My parents wanted to buy a house; I only wanted to buy them a house. I was doing foreign films [and] ads - anything that would help me gain momentum and get more money. I was doing very well in Delhi. But when they left, there was no Plan B. [Everyone] in my life was moving to Bombay. I [had been] in and out of Bombay, but I didn't have plans to move," shares the producer.
Having showcased his dance moves in several recently released numbers, Siddhant Chaturvedi expressed his aspiration to star in a dance-centric film. "Not many people know, but dancing was my first love. A lot of people haven't watched me dance yet, but hopefully in my upcoming films, they will get to see that side of me. That's how it all started. I would love to do a dance film. They are not making it anymore, but I would love to do it," he said. The actor, who played a street rapper in Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy (2019), will be seen in Dhadak 2.

The film boasts an ensemble of immensely talented individuals, and it has the potential to be something special."
Sudhir Mishra is optimistic that, in the near future, cinephiles will witness an emergence of women filmmakers who bring their narrative to the table. "They can be aggressive, brutal, dark, and everything we men are allowed to be. And no, they should not just make women-centric films. Who is stopping them from making all-out action ones or exploring other genres?" asked the filmmaker.
