Palak Tiwari
In recent times, stars who walked the ramp as showstoppers for
fashion designers
have been facing a lot of backlash on social media. There is an ongoing debate about whether it is fair for movie stars to take the spotlight on the runway that once belonged to models and supermodels. When we brought this up with
Palak Tiwari
, who walked the ramp at the
Bombay Times Fashion Week
, the actress shared her perspective on it.
'
Celebrity showstoppers
have to face a lot of judgement'
Palak says, 'People need to understand that we are not claiming to be professional models, nor are we trying to take away their jobs. Some people think we, actors, believe that we're superior. Celebrity showstoppers have to face a lot of judgement and pressure. We're very aware that models are superior at walking the ramp — they do this for a living. Designers are kind enough to invite us. People should know we're not professionals; we're simply doing our best. I really hope for more kindness.'

'We're there to support the designer's vision'
The Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan actress further adds, 'A fashion show is about the designer's vision coming to life. When a designer envisions an actor as a showstopper, we're there to support that vision. If they choose me, I aim to walk in a way that makes them proud.'

Actress Ramya Sri and her brother claim to be attacked by 'land-grabbers' with a knife in Hyderabad: 'Goons tried to kill us in front of the police station'
Pic: Twitter Actress Ramya Sri and her brother Prashant were reportedly attacked during a land-related dispute on Tuesday (June 17) near the Gachibowli Police Station in Hyderabad. The confrontation took place in the FCI Colony layout, where Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) personnel were overseeing road marking work alongside plot owners. About the attack against Ramya Sri and her brother Prashant According to recent videos shared by Telugu Scribe, the trouble began when certain individuals—allegedly associated with Sridhar Rao, the owner of Sandhya Convention Hall—objected to plot holders recording the road demarcation on their phones. The situation quickly escalated as a group armed with a knife and a cricket bat launched an assault on several people present. Ramya Sri and her brother were reportedly targeted during the attack. The actress later filed a complaint at Gachibowli Police Station.

Genelia Deshmukh says long film hours are ‘tough but doable' as Deepika Padukone's 'Spirit' exit fuels debate
As discussions around working conditions in the film industry continue, actor Genelia Deshmukh has shared her view on long working hours, saying that while the job is tough, it can be managed with proper understanding and flexibility. The 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' actress spoke about this on a recent interview. Speaking to Zoom, Genelia explained that working long hours is part of the process for actors, especially when schedules are tight. 'It is tough but it is not impossible. I do work for 10 hours a day and there are days when the director asks to extend it to 11 or 12 hours,' she said. Genelia added, 'I think it's fair but we just need time to make those adjustments. When you have a day or two where you have to overdo, it's also an understanding and a process that needs to be done.' Her comments come as the issue of working hours in the film industry has sparked fresh debate, especially after reports of Deepika Padukone leaving the upcoming film. 'Spirit'. According to reports, Deepika had made a few key demands before walking away from the project. These included an eight-hour workday, a share in the film's profits, and not having to deliver her lines in Telugu. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga reportedly turned down those conditions, leading to her exit. After Deepika left the film, Triptii Dimri was signed on as the leading lady opposite Prabhas for that film. While the film world is known for its intense schedules and long shooting days, Genelia's comments suggest that some actors are open to longer hours as long as there is mutual understanding on set. The conversation around fair treatment, reasonable hours, and respect for actors' well-being continues to grow, both in India and around the world.

When Deepika Padukone asked Salman Khan to marry her: 'Mujhe aapse shaadi karni hai'
In 2015, Deepika Padukone surprised Salman Khan by proposing marriage on a reality show, saying, 'Mujhe aapse shaadi karni hai.' Salman politely declined, stating it wasn't possible but found it amusing. Deepika now stars in a Telugu action film, while Salman prepares for a war drama on the Galwan Valley clash. Salman Khan remains one of Bollywood's most sought-after bachelors, despite repeatedly stating he has no plans to marry. However, marriage proposals keep coming his way. Interestingly, actress Deepika Padukone once surprised everyone by proposing to the superstar herself. In 2015, while promoting her film 'Tamasha' on a reality show set, the actress unexpectedly knelt down and asked Salman to marry her during their conversation. Dressed in a striking blue polka-dot shirt and trousers, Deepika surprised Khan during their conversation by suddenly dropping to one knee and proposing marriage. She asked, 'Mujhe aapse shaadi karni hai. Will you marry me Mr. Salman Khan?' Salman, taken aback at first, soon laughed and even blushed upon hearing her unexpected proposal. Salman's polite decline and humorous exchange Salman turned down the actress's proposal, stating, 'Deepika ho ya koi bhi ho, ye nahi ho sakta,' and laughed afterward. He later remarked, 'Not a bad idea,' acknowledging that Deepika had caught him off guard with her surprise. Deepika later said, 'Gadho kya karwa rahe ho mujhse. Jo milna tha milgaya". On the work front, Deepika has now teamed up with Atlee Kumar and Allu Arjun for their upcoming epic Telugu action film, 'AA26x A6'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo On the other hand, Salman Khan's recent film, 'Sikandar', directed by AR Murugadoss, failed to impress at the box office.
