Ektaa Kapoor slams Anurag Kashyap as 'so dumb' after his rant against Netflix and ‘saas-bahu' shows
In a clash that has stirred up Bollywood's OTT circles, two creative giants, Anurag Kashyap and Ektaa R Kapoor, have found themselves at ideological loggerheads over the future of Indian streaming content . What began as a sharp comment by Kashyap on Netflix 's evolving strategy has now snowballed into a larger debate about elitism, populism, and the cultural legacy of 'saas-bahu' television dramas. The Sacred Games director's biting remarks about Netflix's co-CEO Ted Sarandos and his jab at mainstream Indian content have prompted a fiery response from Kapoor, who defended mass entertainment with passion and a few pointed words of her own. The storm was triggered when Kashyap reposted a headline quoting Ted Sarandos, who, in a conversation with Zerodha's Nikhil Kamath, suggested that Sacred Games 'perhaps shouldn't have been Netflix's first Indian original.' Sarandos implied that a more populist show might have served the platform's debut in India better. Kashyap, clearly unimpressed, responded with scathing sarcasm. 'He should have started with Saas-Bahu, he would have done well,' he posted on Instagram. The director then launched a more direct attack on Sarandos, calling "tech guys" "dumb" in the area of storytelling. Ektaa Kapoor slams Sacred Games director Kashyap's pointed remarks didn't go unchallenged. Ektaa R Kapoor, often hailed as the queen of Indian television and a strong voice in the streaming industry, responded firmly without naming Kashyap directly. Kapoor criticised Kashyap's remarks, suggesting that his tone appeared self-congratulatory and condescending, as if trying to assert intellectual superiority. She highlighted the cultural significance of 'saas-bahu' serials, pointing to a well-regarded study from Chicago that recognized their role in empowering women through mainstream Indian media. She also accused artists like Kashyap of being classist in their attitudes, despite often advocating for inclusivity in their storytelling. Her message was not just a rebuttal but a reflection on the broader dynamics of creative hierarchy in India's entertainment industry. 'We must do away with this 'you can't sit with us, we are better' attitude for democracy and fair play!' she wrote, ending her post with a note of peace: 'Love and light to all.' Ektaa Kapoor and Netflix Interestingly, Kapoor's rebuke comes just days after Netflix announced a new creative collaboration with her production house, Balaji Telefilms, on the occasion of her birthday. 'Netflix and Ektaa Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms come together in a creative collaboration to craft compelling stories across formats,' the platform posted on June 7. Kapoor also called it her 'best gift ever.'

BTS' V's military discharge: From movie with Park Chan Wook to Squid Game 3, Kim Taehyung's rumoured acting comeback sparks buzz
In the final few hours before officially wrapping up his military service, BTS's V, whose real name is Kim Taehyung, decided to post something on Instagram that, at first glance, looked like nothing more than a peaceful dinner with good wine and warm lighting—but the second fans spotted who he was dining with, the speculations went wild. Sitting across from him was none other than Park Chan Wook, the director known for films like Oldboy , The Handmaiden , and Decision to Leave . The timing of the post, paired with the company he was keeping, was enough to send fans into a frenzy. With V finally stepping out of uniform and back into the public eye, people can't help but wonder if this quiet dinner was also hinting at his long-awaited return to acting amid buzz that he'd be making a cameo in Squid Game Season 3. V drops new picture with Park Chan Wook V dropped multiple photos ahead of his military discharge, but what the internet is truly talking about is the one he shared with Park Chan Wook. Posted with no caption, V was seen engrossed in the company of one of Korea's most legendary directors, sharing a quiet meal like it's the most normal thing in the world. And while it may have been just a friendly catch-up between two individuals, considering how selective Park Chan Wook is with his projects and V's pursuit of creativity, it's hard not to picture a collaboration of the creative powerhouses. Credit: Instagram BTS' V's past acting credits When it comes to acting, V hasn't exactly flooded his resume but the few moments he has taken on the screen have definitely stuck with fans. His most notable role was back in 2016, when he played the wide-eyed and loyal Hansung in the historical K-drama Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth, a role that felt like an extension of his gentle off-stage persona at the time. Since then, he's stayed mostly focused on music, but in 2023, just before his military service, he made a striking return to the screen through IU's short film-style music video Love Wins All. That appearance, though brief, had fans praising his natural expressions and emotional depth, reminding everyone that there's a quiet intensity to Taehyung's presence that translates beautifully on camera. Is Squid Game season 3 next? Timing has fans connecting dots At the same time, there's been rumours tying V to the upcoming and final season of Squid Game . Nothing official has been said, but the fan theories are stacking up in a way that's hard to dismiss. For starters, V has openly shown his love for the series in the past, and his close friendship with lead actor Lee Jung Jae only adds fuel to the fire. Add to that his recent hangouts with Squid Game cast member Im Si Wan, and the speculation starts to feel a little less far-fetched. For the unversed, V is scheduled to be discharged on June 10, while Squid Game Season 3 premieres on Netflix on June 27.
