Beenu Gupta's new show explores nature's sacred geometry
Artist Beenu Gupta's latest solo exhibition, Divinity – A Symphony of Nature which opened on June 5 and set to continue till June 9 looks at trees not just as forms in nature, but as carriers of memory, rhythm, and quiet symbolism. Each work is layered—leaves painted and assembled by hand, bark rendered with its flaws intact—drawing viewers into a textured, almost tactile engagement with the idea of the tree. Beenu works with oil, drawing inspiration from her travels and early experiences of observing India's landscapes closely. The pieces carry a visible tension between geometry and wildness, a visual language that recurs across cultures and epochs. It's a reflection on nature's own design, and how humans interpret or interrupt it. Beenu Gupta has held over 20 solo shows and participated in more than 100 group exhibitions. This latest body of work continues her inquiry into womanhood, myth, and landscape—through form, colour, and quiet meditation.

Deepika Padukone, eight-hour shifts in Bollywood, and speculation media — a guide
In India, in the entertainment sphere, this has been a Deepika Padukone news week. The Bollywood actor on Saturday (June 7, 2025) officially boarded the cast of Telugu star Allu Arjun's sci-fi magnum opus with director Atlee. The announcement, while delighting fans, arrived in a charged context: Deepika, currently on a maternity break, has waded into a controversy after her alleged fallout with the makers of Spirit, leading to her departure from the film. Did Deepika walk out of Spirit or was she dropped? Was she fair in demanding a 10% profit share, as claimed in certain reports? Are eight-hour work shifts feasible on blockbuster film sets? Is Deepika not returning for Kalki 2? These questions have swirled around for days on social media, even as Deepika (who welcomed her daughter Dua in September last year) or her representatives are yet to comment on the issue. As the cycle of speculation continues, here is a breakdown of how things unfolded, what is confirmed and unconfirmed, and how the film industry is responding to this moment. How it started Deepika Padukone was rumoured to star opposite Prabhas in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film, Spirit. However, reports emerged last month of negotiations falling through, leading to Deepika's exit from the film. Among the reasons that emerged was the actor's demand for an eight-hour workday clause in her contract to accommodate her new role as a parent. She also wanted — it was claimed — a remuneration of ₹20-25 crore, and extra pay for shoots extending beyond 100 days. These demands reportedly did not sit well with the film's director, and Padukone was soon replaced by actor Triptii Dimri, who featured in Vanga's Animal. Vanga later took to social media, fulminating against the situation and alleging 'Dirty PR games'. Without naming Padukone, he accused her of leaking Spirit's story and 'undermining' a younger female actor. The 8-hour workday debate The demand for shorter and sustainable work hours is not new in Bollywood. The Indian film industry is notorious for gruelling and extended shoots. A typical film shoot can go up to 12-16 hours a day. There are problems of scheduling, location availability and coordination. While India's labour laws restrict work to 48 hours a week, this doesn't quite apply to a film set, which is, legally speaking, neither a factory nor a business establishment. Technicians, junior artists and daily wagers seem to suffer the most, but even top stars find their commitments overbearing, struggling to balance life and work. In January this year, the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighting poor work conditions and exploitative practices in the film industry. The letter highlighted '16 to 20 hours a day without holidays, proper breaks or rest'. Actor Pankaj Tripathi, in a recent interview, revealed the same: 'The work hours are getting stretched. I am working 16 to 18 hours on end.' Radhika Apte recently asserted that the industry isn't conducive to new mothers. Apte currently lives in London with her husband and newborn daughter. 'It's really difficult to work in our film industry, given the number of hours and how we film generally, and the time for which we don't get to see the child. So I guess I'll just have to figure it out now,' she told Indian Express. Industry's response Padukone's seeming advocacy of sustainable work hours has started a conversation in the popular sphere. At an event, asked about the demand for eight-hour shifts for new mothers, actor Kajol said: 'I would love the fact that you can work less.' Kajol's daughter Nysa was an infant when Kajol filmed for Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan. At the same event, Ajay Devgn said that the industry has taken positively to this demand. 'Most of the honest filmmakers will not have problems with it. Apart from this, being a mother and working for eight hours, most people have started working eight-to nine-hour shifts,' he said, adding, 'It's person to person, and I feel most of the industry understands this.' Saif Ali Khan, Mani Ratnam and Barun Sobti also joined the chorus for better work-life balance. However, the Producers Guild of India (PGI) and the Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association (IMPPA) are yet to comment on the issue. Deepika's upcoming films The Deepika news cycle has been representative of the speculation media ecosystem. On June 5, unconfirmed reports, citing an Instagram page with two million followers, claimed that Deepika had been dropped from Nag Ashwin's Kalki sequel. The first film, Kalki 2898 AD, a dystopian sci-fi fantasy, featured Deepika as a central character alongside Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan. In the wake of the Spirit controversy, it was rumoured that the actor's demand for shorter work caused 'friction on set', a claim that later was rubbished by a source close to the film. Speaking to NDTV, the source said, 'No shoot, no sets, no interaction and therefore, no question of a fallout.' Meanwhile, Deepika — an in-demand star for big-screen action spectacles — has joined the cast of AA22xA6. Her second collaboration with Atlee after 2023's Jawaan, the film will feature Deepika as a female warrior in a sci-fi world. She is also slated to return in sequels to Pathaan and Brahmastra.
