‘Frustrating': Karishma Tanna Breaks Silence On Scarcity Of Work After Scoop
Karishma Tanna was expecting character-driven roles after her noteworthy performance in the Hansal Mehta directorial show, Scoop.
Karishma Tanna's gripping performance in the web show Scoop brought her critical acclaim and immense recognition on International platforms. Despite the praises, the actress has been mostly been out of work with only a special appearance in Call Me Bae to her credit since the show's release. As Scoop recently turned two, the actress opened up on the reason behind her absence from the films and shows lately.
Talking to Hindustan Times, Karishma Tanna said, 'I genuinely don't have an answer. After a long time, I had a platform and an acting-driven script. Scoop was challenging. It's not like I have become extra choosy after the show. I know if the right script is written, the director can take it to a higher level. I am just waiting for that kind of work to come my way."
Karishma Tanna was expecting character-driven roles after her noteworthy performance in the Hansal Mehta directorial show, as she added during the chat about her work endeavours. In the same chat, the actress admitted to feeling frustrated due to the long wait for good scripts to come her way.
She confessed, 'I want to be on set… to hold a script again, face the camera, and be around directors and producers. But this is the price you pay when you do a show like Scoop – it's a waiting game for something equally good. I am going through a lot of mixed emotions. Sometimes I feel, 'Jo bhi next aayega, I will take it.' I doubt whether I will be happy on set or not."
Scoop, based on Jigna Vora's biographical memoir Behind Bars in Byculla: My Days in Prison, stars Karishma Tanna in the role of a crime journalist, Jagruti Pathak, who seeks justice after being falsely implicated in a murder case. The show, available for streaming on Netflix, earned her the Best Actress in a Drama Series award at the 2023 Filmfare OTT Awards. She also clinched the prestigious Critics' Best Actress award at the 2024 Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival.
Besides Karishma Tanna, Scoop also features Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub, Harman Baweja, Deven Bhojani, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Prosenjit Chatterjee and Shikha Talsania, among others in the lead roles.

David Beckham likely to receive knighthood soon. What will be his title?
Former England football star David Beckham is reportedly set to receive a knighthood in the upcoming King's Birthday Honours list, marking a major milestone for the global sports icon. The former England captain, who already holds an OBE awarded in 2003, will be named a knight in the official list expected next week, according to The Sun. David Beckham, who recently turned 50, has long been tipped for the honour over his football career and extensive charity work, particularly as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Should the honour be confirmed, he would formally become 'Sir David', while his wife, fashion designer and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, would assume the courtesy title of 'Lady Beckham.' His path to knighthood was reportedly delayed after HMRC flagged concerns over an alleged tax avoidance scheme, which halted a planned honour in 2014. Speculation around the accolade reignited after Beckham's 2013 retirement and reached new highs following the success of the Emmy-winning Beckham Netflix documentary. During a conversation at the Chelsea Flower Show last month, King Charles appeared to make a cryptic reference to the upcoming honour, asking Beckham if he had 'received his 50th birthday present,' to which the former footballer replied: 'It was incredible, thank you, it was very kind.' The Queen added, 'I'm glad you got the roses.' Beckham, who earned 115 caps and captained England 59 times, is the only Englishman to score in three separate World Cups. His club career highlights include Manchester United's legendary treble-winning season in 1999. After stints at Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, and AC Milan, he co-founded US team Inter Miami, helping bring international football stars stateside.

Samar Khan says Kay Kay Menon's viral clip from 'Shaurya' was taken out of context: ‘It's like calling Gabbar Singh from Sholay a hero'
Filmmaker Samar Khan is all set to return to the spotlight with 'Chhal Kapat – The Deception', a murder mystery premiering on OTT on June 6. His 2008 release 'Shaurya' continues to remain in the spotlight after a courtroom scene featuring Kay Kay Menon went viral online. However, the video was taken out of context—something Samar has never liked to address. Nonetheless, he has now opened up about the intention behind the scene and how it went viral with a completely different interpretation. Kay Kay Menon's scene from Shaurya 00:59 Any Director Can Make Mistakes, I Choose Roles Based On Scripts: Kay Kay Menon On Picking Shekhar Home Shaurya is a courtroom drama starring Rahul Bose, Kay Kay Menon, Minissha Lamba, Deepak Dobriyal, and Jaaved Jaaferi. The film made waves for its powerful themes and explosive climax. At the centre of the storm was a searing monologue delivered by Kay Kay Menon's character, Brigadier Rudra Pratap Singh. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Khan expressed his discomfort over how the essence of the film has been misrepresented online. He admitted that he had outgrown Shaurya many years ago but still feels proud of the film. 'But what people make of it is out of my control. People ask me about it on Twitter and other platforms, but I never respond. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo Anything I say would be taken out of context,' he shared. Samar about clickbait culture The clip featuring Rudra's monologue is often portrayed as a moment of righteous heroism. But for Khan, this popular interpretation completely misses the point. 'Unfortunately, many of those who share that scene haven't watched the scenes before or after. It's like isolating Gabbar Singh from Sholay and calling him a hero. Villains often come off as more attractive. Even with someone like Shah Rukh Khan , who has done countless romantic roles, people still remember him for Darr or Baazigar. As creators, we have to detach ourselves from how our work is received or reinterpreted,' he explained. He didn't hold back while discussing the role social media plays in reshaping narratives. He called it a clickbait culture driven by short attention spans. About Samar's recent production venture Chhal Kapat 'Chhal Kapat – The Deception' is directed by Ajay Bhuyan and features Shriya Pilgaonkar, Kamya Ahlawat, Ragini Dwivedi, Tuhina Das, Yahhve Sharma, Pranay Pachauri, Smaran Sahu, and Anuj Sachdeva in key roles.
