Konkona Sen Sharma on working with Pankaj Tripathi in Metro...In Dino: 'Little shy...'
Ahead of the much-awaited release of the upcoming film Metro…In Dino , actor Konkona Sen Sharma has opened up about her experience shooting with Pankaj Tripathi for the first time. Sharma shared that she feels glad to finally work with Tripathi, with whom she never got a chance to share screen space despite both being in the industry for a long time. The actress also shared how their first day on set together felt formal, but they quickly grew comfortable with each other.
While speaking to ANI, the actor said, 'Metro…In Dino is quite different from Life in a Metro, because Life in a Metro was made 17-18 years ago. We were younger back then, so the story was different. And I feel lucky to work with Mr. Pankaj Tripathi.'
'It was a lot of fun. Actually, I wasn't sure what to expect because, even though both of us have been working for so long, we hadn't worked together before. But he is very popular, and I've seen his work–I like it a lot. So, I was happy to be working with him. On the first day, I think we were both a little shy and formal. Anurag always says this very funnily: 'On the first day, we were both a little shy, a little formal. Mr. Pankaj used to say 'Namaste' and all that. I'm also a bit like that–kind of old-fashioned. But we quickly became comfortable with each other,' she added.
The trailer of Metro…In Dino was released earlier this month. Along with Kher and Gupta, the film also stars Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Ali Fazal.
The trailer gave us a sneak peek into the love stories of the couples–Sara Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur, Konkona Sen Sharma and Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal and Fatima Sana Shaikh, Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta.It follows four different love stories of couples–young, old, and middle-aged–living in a metro, and serves as the spiritual sequel to Anurag Basu's 2007 film Life in a… Metro. The movie will be released in theatres on July 4.

Sara Ali Khan admits trolling affects her mother Amrita Singh emotionally: ‘I feel very bad... my mom feels bad when she reads about it'
Sara Ali Khan is no stranger to trolling. From her film choices to her physical appearance, the actress, like many star kids in the industry, has faced her share of online hate. But in a recent interview, Sara admitted that while she's learnt to take the negativity in her stride, it's her mother Amrita Singh who finds it harder to ignore. Speaking to Instant Bollywood, Sara shared how she copes with social media scrutiny, acknowledging that it often affects her mother emotionally. 'It's very wrong. I feel very bad. My mom feels bad when she reads about it. What will I do about it? I can't change it. I can feel bad, but you just have to move on,' she said candidly. Sara reflected on how people online continue to write insensitive and critical things, regardless of their accuracy or impact. 'Wrong karke kya kar loge? Aap rok doge? Koi likhna bandh kar dega? It's not going to stop. So really, what is the point?' she asked rhetorically. Learning to be thick-skinned Despite being under constant public scrutiny, Sara said she's come to terms with the fact that this is part of being a public figure. 'You just have to be thick-skinned. Mom's new vocabulary is thick-skinned,' she shared with a smile.

‘We are 60': Michelle on divorce rumors, explains why she's rarely seen with Barack Obama
Michelle and Barack Obama (ANI) Former US first lady Michelle Obama has once again addressed the rumours surrounding her marriage with former President Barack Obama, saying the reason behind them seldom being photographed together is simply because they're 'too old for Instagram". 'The fact that people don't see me going out on a date with my husband sparks rumors of the end of our marriage,' 61-year-old Obama told NPR podcast host Rachel Martin. 'It's like, 'OK, so we don't Instagram every minute of our lives. We are 60. We're 60, y'all,'' she said. 'You just are not gonna know what we're doing every minute of the day.' The former first lady explained that she deliberately went against expectations by choosing not to attend high-profile events, such as former President Jimmy Carter's funeral and President Donald Trump's inauguration, and acknowledged that she had to 'own it' when her absence drew backlash and further fueled speculation about problems in her marriage. 'One of the major decisions I made this year was to stay put and not attend funerals and inaugurations and all the things that I'm supposed to attend,' she said. 'That was a part of me using my ambition to say, 'Let me define what I want to do, apart from what I'm supposed to do, what the world expects of me.' And I have to own that. Those are my choices,' she added, acknowledging that her choice to stay away had sparked criticism. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo 'Whatever the backlash was, I had to sit in it and own it. But I didn't regret it, you know? It's my life now, and I can say that, now,' she said. Michelle Obama has spoken candidly about her family and marriage challenges on her podcast, IMO, which she co-hosts with her brother, Craig Robinson. She also shared how she felt the need to scale back her personal ambitions as both a working mother and the first lady. 'As a working mother, I - you know, I think all of that stuff, it kind of cut my ambitions short a little bit. Because I had to make a set of decisions, 'OK, my husband's over here, I've got these kids over here. I don't know if I can afford to be ambitious right now. So I have to take a step back,'' she said. Michelle Obama has previously responded to the rumors about her marriage, firmly stating that if they were true, she wouldn't remain silent. Last month on a podcast "The Diary of a CEO' Obama told the host Steven Barlett, 'If I were having problems with my husband, everybody would know about it. My brother would know it. I'd be problem-solving in public. I'm not a martyr,' she said. Amid ongoing divorce rumors, the Obamas made a public appearance last month, enjoying a date at the upscale Lowell Hotel restaurant in Midtown Manhattan, and were also spotted looking affectionate during another dinner outing in Washington, DC, back in April.

The much-awaited romantic film 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan,' starring Vikrant Massey and debutant Shanaya Kapoor , is all set to release in theatres on July 11. Ahead of the release, the actors spoke about their experience working on the film and what makes it special for them. Shanaya Kapoor, who is stepping into Bollywood with this film, said she feels connected to her character, Saba. Speaking to ANI, she said, "My role is very special. I am playing the role of Saba. I have learnt a lot from Saba. There is a lot of difference between me and Saba. Sometimes you read a script and you are just showcasing a girl or a character. But with Saba, she had a different start in the film, and she grows into something very different. I found that very unique. I got a lot of connectivity from that story. I am very excited. Let's see how the audience will feel. I have worked very hard. I have worked from the bottom of my heart." Vikrant Massey also shared his excitement about the film. He said that the movie brings back the feel of old-school Bollywood romance, something not often seen in recent years. He said, "Speaking of Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, it's a very good film for both of us. For me too, because I'm playing such a role for the first time. It's a classical Bollywood romantic film, and over the last few years we've seen such films almost stop being made. This is our effort to bring back a traditional Bollywood film for the audience." The film is presented by Zee Studios and Mini Films and produced by Mansi Bagla, Varun Bagla , and Open Window Films. It is directed by Santosh Singh and written by Mansi Bagla.
