Fans upset with loved telly show?

In a first since a while, fans of the telly show, Anupamaa, have hit back at the makers for its "regressive" content. After hailing the show for showcasing its forward-thinking protagonist's opinions, fans have now criticised the makers for failing to live up to their promise. A recent development in the narrative has irked fans, who took to social media to express their anger. While some suggested the narrative showed her character in poor light, others added, "Stop making a mockery of women empowerment, domestic violence, and abuse." Another fan wrote, "Please stop ruining your titular character, Anupamaa, who we are beginning to intensely dislike," shared another. For years, the Rupali Ganguly-fronted show has topped TRP charts.

Buck up, Bollywood?

Veteran actor Sharmila Tagore says the Hindi film industry is still a "little ageist". Few roles for women of a certain age are written in Bollywood, unlike in Hollywood where actors like Meryl Streep, Judi Dench and Maggie Smith are still celebrated. She feels OTT could be a game-changer. Tagore, who will be seen in the family drama, Gulmohar, says, "We are still slightly ageist, especially with women, because powerful roles go to the men. Special scripts are being written for Mr Amitabh Bachchan, and Anupam Kher, but not for Waheeda [Rehman] ji or many other ageing lady actors."
