Neena Gupta was replaced by Tanuja in an Amitabh Bachchan film: ‘My blouses were also stitched'
Actor Neena Gupta has always been known to speak her mind. She embarked on a second innings in her career some years ago, after boldly reminding filmmakers that she was available for work and not disinterested. However, in a recent interview with Nayandeep Rakshit, she shared that the struggle is still ongoing. Neena, who will soon be seen in the fourth season of the web series Panchayat, recalled how she was replaced multiple times in films without even being informed. Sharing how actors her age still struggle to find work, Neena said, 'Men of my age or even older continue to play heroes on the big screen, but I am considered for a grandmother also at times. Men have more character roles, and we don't. I know other actresses who are friends, and they still don't have any work.' A post shared by prime video IN (@primevideoin) Also Read: Neena Gupta once told Amitabh Bachchan that Ayushmann Khurrana was initially against casting her in Badhaai Ho: 'She's too hot'; what it takes to prove professional competency She added, 'I still message and reach out to people for work. If I see on Instagram that a film has been announced or I see an actor visiting a producer's office, then I call my manager and get the director's number and send a message asking if there is anything for me. You need to do that, no matter how big a star you are.' Neena also shared a recent incident where she was replaced in a film, and only learned about it through a paparazzi photo. 'There have been times when people sign you and then replace you. Recently, I was called for a film and they said you have to do it. I said okay. They were discussing the money and dates, but a few days later, I saw on Instagram that an actress of my age is going to their office. I asked my manager to find out and learned that she was signed in my place. Instagram is not stupid; sometimes it's very useful. Then I wrote a message to that producer saying that they should at least inform if they changed their mind. He realised his mistake, and said sorry. Now, we are doing a film together soon.' Neena Gupta also recalled a time when she was replaced from an Amitabh Bachchan film even after her costumes had been made. 'Once, in an older film of mine with Amitabh Bachchan, my blouses were stitched, the costume was ready, and they went ahead and took Tanuja for that role. Then I got to know I was no longer in that film. But one should not feel bad and bitter about it, just move on.' A post shared by Neena Gupta (@neena_gupta) Other than Panchayat, Neena Gupta will also be seen in Anurag Basu's Metro In Dino… She is paired opposite Anupam Kher in the multi-starrer film.

'I'm a real man': Why was Justin Bieber fighting with paparazzi? Here's what happened outside Soho House
Justin Bieber is back in the headlines after a tense encounter with paparazzi outside Soho House in Malibu last Thursday, as reported by The New York Times . In a video that quickly went viral across social media, Bieber is seen engaging in what appears to be an increasingly heated exchange with a photographer, sparking renewed public concern over his mental and emotional state. Clad in a blue hoodie and holding a flashlight close to his face, Bieber is heard saying, "It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it?" —a phrase often used to signal assertiveness and unwillingness to back down. The moment, widely circulated online, comes amid a broader conversation in the video where the pop star accuses the photographers of attempting to provoke him and misrepresent his actions. "You're provoking me — you're going to take this video out of context like you always do," Bieber says, before the tone escalates and he begins using expletives, questioning the motives of the paparazzi: "Why are you trying to provoke me? I'm a real dad, a real husband, a real man." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Kulkas yang belum Terjual dengan Harga Termurah (Lihat harga) Cari Sekarang Undo Observers speculated that the flashlight may have been used to obscure photographers' shots—a low-tech tactic in an era where anti-camera tech has become more sophisticated. Since the confrontation, Bieber posted a cryptic message on Instagram: "People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already?" The post, which some fans interpreted as a reaction to the incident, was accompanied by a middle-finger emoji. His representatives declined to comment, according to The New York Times . Live Events Encounters like this are not new for Bieber. In April, before attending Coachella, he was seen in a TMZ video lashing out at photographers, saying, "You don't care about people, only money." His history of clashes with the paparazzi dates back to his teen idol days. Experts interviewed by The New York Times suggest that such confrontations may stem from a more aggressive paparazzi culture that emerged in the early 2000s. Ray Murray, a media ethics professor at Oklahoma State University, noted a shift from discreet photo-snapping to open provocation: "They'll run up and throw water in your face just to get a reaction." Vanessa Díaz, a Loyola Marymount University professor and author of Manufacturing Celebrity , explained that freelance paparazzi are often scapegoated for the content they're pressured to capture: "Paparazzi aren't creating the economy of paparazzi work... It's the media corporations demanding it." The incident has reignited debates about celebrity privacy, mental health, and the ethics of tabloid culture—topics Bieber has confronted throughout his career.
