20 October,2024 08:31 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAn old video of Bollywood actresses Divya Bharti, Raveena Tandon, Ayesha Jhulka has resurfaced which shows them talking about the concept of skin show in the Bollywood of the late 1980s and the early 90s, and if they would agree to doing something like that. The late actress Divya Bharti, who is known for films like ‘Deewana’, ‘Vishwatma’ and others, said at the time, “I did my first film in the biggest banner, ‘Vishwatma’, and I didn't have to expose myself. Although the role is very good, according to me it was a very good role, I didn't have to expose myself, so there will be no need for it in the future”. Raveena said, “No, maybe I won't do the compromise”. Ayesha Jhulka said, “As far as exposing is concerned, I won't do that. Because I don't think that by exposing, any role can be made better. If the role is good, then it is good. In that compromise can be to the extent that I can perform it better and better." Bollywood has greatly changed in the last 30 years while what was considered “exposing” back in the day, has become quite normal as the industry progressed and the global cultures seeped into the film industry. While the functioning of the Hindi film industry has been greatly influenced by the western culture of corporates, work ethics have shifted, the concept of “expose” has now evolved into nudity. In recent years, some actors have made the brave choice of shedding clothes to lend an authentic edge to their roles. The streaming series ‘Sacred Games’, which was released in 2018, made huge noise with regards to frontal nudity portrayed in its scenes.

20 October,2024 07:47 AM IST | Mumbai | IANSWork first, threats later Even as he faces death threats, Salman Khan is trying to keep a cool head while fulfilling his professional commitments. However, the actor expressed that he didn’t feel like filming on Friday for the Saturday episode of Bigg Boss 18. In conversation with the contestants of the show, Salman said, “I know what my parents go through. A lot of allegations have been put on me.” The security personnel deployed on the set have been increased. Salim Khan speaks up for Salman Salman Khan continues to receive death threats, about a week since his politician friend, Baba Siddique, was murdered on 12th October. Over the weekend, the superstar’s security was upgraded to Y+ level after jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang members issued a new threat via the WhatsApp number of the Mumbai Traffic Police. While Salman has not spoken about the matter, his father, Salim Khan, believes there is no connection between the superstar and the politician’s death. He also maintained that they fail to understand how a correlation between the two can be drawn. The Khan family reportedly feels that even if Lawrence is indeed involved in Baba’s killing, it could be due to a property dispute or something else. When asked about former Bharatiya Janata Party MP Harnath Singh Yadav’s comments that Salman should apologise to the Bishnoi community for his alleged involvement in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case, Salim saab stated his superstar son had no role in it. In an interview, he said, “I had asked Salman who did it, and he said that he was not even present at the spot. He said that when the incident happened, he was not even in the car. Aur woh mujhse jhooth nahin bolega. Usko nahin hain shauk jaanwar maarne ka.” Stating that his superstar son is an animal lover, Khan Sr added, “Maafi maangna yeh accept karna hai ki maine maara hai. [Apologising would mean admitting to it]. Salman ne kabhi kisi jaanwar ko nahin maara. Hum inn cheezon mein believe hi nahin karte.”
20 October,2024 07:24 AM IST | Mumbai | The Hitlist TeamIn Nitin Baid’s Chashma, we open ourselves to the poignant story of 11-year-old Supriyo, who faces challenges at school due to his poor vision. The Konkona Sen Sharma, Shishir Sharma and Ayan Khan-starrer, which will première at the MAMI Mumbai Film Festival on October 22, explores Supriyo’s journey towards self-acceptance. Baid admits that for the short film, he drew from his own life. “Personal is always universal,” he smiles. “I was in class five or six, and I couldn’t see the blackboard for long. I was afraid of telling anyone because I was afraid of getting bullied. I used to copy from the guy who used to sit next to me, and I would watch TV exactly like the character does. Today, you see a lot of kids wearing glasses, but that was a different era. At that time, I used to be worried, [that if I wear glasses], I will be judged as a kid and people are going to call me Chashmish. For five-six months, I didn’t tell anyone that I couldn’t see the blackboard. Those months stayed with me personally. [After growing up], I always wondered as to why I did that. What if something important happened in that period of time? That kept me thinking,” says Baid, the editor of Masaan (2015) and Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023), of his maiden directorial venture. Konkona Sensharma Baid says that Sen Sharma, who plays mother to Supriyo, was key to his vision. “I texted her in January, saying, ‘Koko, I don’t know if this is a massive role, but it will add a lot of soul to the film.’ The emotional depth she brings is a lot, even if her screen time is limited. You don’t have to spend time building a character when she is your actor.” He recalls messaging her, asking whether she had read the script. “Two hours later, she responded, ‘Yeah, we’re doing it.’” One assumes the transition from editing to direction is probably easy. But Baid has a different perspective. “As an editor, you know storytelling and flow, so [as a director], you become clearer in terms of what you want [while shooting]. If there is a time constraint and you have to finish these many shots, you have clarity. But I wouldn’t say editors become great directors. The idea is that a great director is a great editor anyway, because he sits with the editor [while editing a film]. It’s the balance act of two people coming together and creatively building something.”
