Farewell
Varun Dhawan is devastated by the untimely demise of his aide and driver Manoj Sahu. The actor was apparently shooting at a Bandra studio when Sahu complained of chest pain. He was immediately rushed to the Lilavati Hospital where the doctors declared him dead. Yesterday, the actor remembered ‘Manoj dada’, who was with the family for 26 years. “He was my everything. I have no words to express my grief, but all I want is that people remember him for his amazing wit and humour and passion he had for life,” he wrote. Varun and director-brother Rohit Dhawan attended the last rites yesterday.
Time to prep
Fatima Sana Shaikh has begun prepping for her role of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in Meghna Gulzar’s next, Sam Bahadur. Stepping into the shoes of India’s Iron Lady is not easy. Shaikh is reportedly reading several books on the leader and watching documentaries to study her mannerisms.
Fardeen positive
Fardeen Khan is the latest in the industry to test positive for COVID-19. Yesterday, he shared the news, adding that he is asymptomatic. “Sending my best to all those in recovery. The rest, keep getting tested if in doubt as this variant is also targeting children, and they can be given limited medication (sic),” he wrote. While the next fortnight will be all about “happy isolating”, Khan will resume the shoot of his comeback vehicle Visfot post recovery.
Those good old memories
Boney Kapoor’s Instagram feed is dotted with beautiful, unseen pictures of the late Sridevi. On Wednesday, the filmmaker shared another precious throwback picture, this one from the 2012 Durga Puja festivities in Lucknow. A radiant Sridevi can be seen indulging in sindoor khela, while husband Boney’s name is written in vermilion on her back. The late superstar’s countless fans immediately showered their love on the picture.
Back to the grind
Fellow actor Swara Bhasker, meanwhile, has recovered from the virus. Where did she go as soon as she felt fit? To the recording studio. Bhasker started dubbing for Jahaan Chaar Yaar, the all-women drama that sees her alongside Meher Vij, Shikha Talsania and Pooja Chopra. “Sooooo happy to be fit enough to be #backtowork... Loving the feeling of being back into the process of making movies,” wrote the actor on Instagram.
Thank you, next
Ayushmann Khurrana, who is still winning praise for Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, has winged his way to London. Reports state that he will soon kick off the shoot of Anirudh Iyer’s An Action Hero. Producer Aanand L Rai had announced the film last October, describing it as an out-of-the-box entertainer.
Lights, camera, action!
