Neha Dhupia is back with the fourth season of her celebrity chat show No Filter Neha. Talking about the show in an earlier interview, Neha had said: "I think the most important thing that makes it stand out from other similar shows is that you know we have been a little ahead of the game as far as the podcasts are concerned. It is audio, it is more intimate, and I feel that I take the maximum amount of pride in the amount of research that we do on our guests."
Neha Dhupia also opened up on what she has learnt from her experience as a host over three seasons. "The show is always defined by the guests and, importantly, the listeners and the fan base. The one thing I have learnt is that the more candid, the more free flowing, the more unending the conversation, the more fun it is to listen. We always talk to our guests in a way as if we are sitting in a living room and talking to each other, and no one else is listening. That's what makes it the most fun," she said.
In the run-up to the release of Mardaani 2, Rani Mukerji has been meeting police officers across the country in order to get a deeper insight into the rise of crimes committed by juveniles, especially against women. On Saturday, the actor — who plays a cop investigating a case of serial rape-murders in the Gopi Puthran-directed film — visited the Police Control Room in Mumbai.
On the agenda was a discussion about how cyber crime has increased manifold in the country and put women at risk. Mukerji, who spent a few hours with the team, describes the visit as "informative and educative". "I learned so much about what goes in to keep our women safe in the times when the nature of crime is becoming severely complex with the rise of technology. It takes an incredible amount of work to keep crimes in check."

Rani is reprising the role of the fearless and committed Superintendent of Police, Shivani Shivaji Roy in Mardaani 2. This film focusses on the rise in violent crimes by juveniles in India and has definitely sparked a conversation on the threat this poses to young girls. In this film, Rani has been pitted against a very young yet dangerous villain who can be called pure evil.
