Eric Dane walks red carpet for first time since public disclosure of his ALS diagnosis
Actor Eric Dane walked the red carpet at the premiere of the 'Countdown' series in Los Angeles. The event marked the actor's first red carpet appearance since publicly disclosing that he had been diagnosed with ALS. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now During his red carpet walk on Wednesday, Dane was joined by his co-stars Jensen Ackles, Jessica Camacho, Elliot Knight, Violett Beane, and Uli Latukefu, reported Variety. The actor is also preparing for the third season of 'Euphoria'. While Dane indicated that he hasn't shot any scenes yet, he affirmed that production is underway, as per the outlet. "You're going to get more of the same, which I think for that show is a good thing," Dane said about the coming episodes. "We're moving right along. I don't know exactly what it is I'm doing, per se, but I trust [creator] Sam Levinson with every fibre of my being," Dane said as quoted by Variety. As for other projects on the horizon, Dane said he was determined to keep acting even with his diagnosis. He said, "It always feels great to be on a set. It's great to be employed. I love what I give. I'm going to keep doing it." The evening marked Dane's first public outing since the broadcast of his emotional "Good Morning America" interview with Diane Sawyer in which he revealed he now only has "one functioning arm," reported Variety. "My left side is functioning, my right side has completely stopped working. I feel like maybe a couple more months and I won't have my left hand either. It's sobering," said Eric Dane as quoted by Variety. As per the outlet, the 52-year-old 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Euphoria' star was diagnosed in April after nine months of testing. He first started having symptoms a year and a half ago when he began to experience weakness in his right hand. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now ALS is a fatal, progressive degenerative disease that breaks down the nerves in the body, weakening muscles and causing eventual paralysis, impacting patients' ability to breathe, speak and move. There is no known cure yet, reported Variety. Dane has affirmed that he wants to continue working, though he understands that his neurodegenerative disease will "prelude" him from playing certain roles. "I am ready and willing to do just about anything, but I have limitations that I understand will preclude me from playing certain roles. I'm working on 'Euphoria.' I finished 'Countdown.' As far as that goes, I'm pretty capable," said Eric Dane as quoted by Variety. The first three episodes of 'Countdown' premiere on Prime Video on June 25. New episodes will follow weekly ahead of the season finale on September 3.

Neena Gupta-Sunita Rajwar on their off-screen friendship: We met in theatre and became friends
Mumbai, They may be pitted against each other as political rivals in "Panchayat" as Manju Devi and Kranti Devi but in real life, Neena Gupta and Sunita Rajwar enjoy a great friendship that goes back to their theatre days. The two have worked together on the 2020 film, 'Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan', and the Prime Video series, 'Panchayat'. 'We met in the theatre, we did a play together. We kept working together, and when we do a show, we get a lot of time for rehearsals. We have been friends for many years, and we occasionally meet over food or just like that,' Gupta told PTI in an interview. 'When I found out that Sunita was also there , I was very happy because after the shoot, she came to my room in the evening, we cooked together, sometimes, she brought food. So, I got a good company, a good friend,' she said. Rajwar said whenever she gets an offer, and if she is confused about it, she seeks Gupta's guidance. Both Gupta and Rajwar had auditioned for 'Panchayat' and the globally acclaimed movie 'Santosh'. Gupta secured the role of Manju Devi in 'Panchayat', while Rajwar was cast as Geeta Sharma in 'Santosh'. 'It happened during 'Panchayat', where she had auditioned for my role of 'Manju Devi', then there is a film, 'Santosh', for which I had also auditioned for her role,' Gupta said. 'Whenever we do a new project, we both know about it, so it isn't an on-set surprise,' Rajwar said, adding, 'We are friends universally.' Created by Deepak Kumar Mishra and Chandan Kumar, 'Panchayat' revolves around Abhishek Tripathi , an engineering graduate who, for lack of a better job, joins as secretary of a panchayat office in a fictional village named Phulera in Uttar Pradesh. Gupta plays Manju, the elected village head , while Rajwar as Kranti is her rival. The fourth season promises to escalate the rivalry as both characters vie for supremacy in Phulera. Rajwar said she admires Gupta as an actor, particularly her work in 'Woh Chokri', for which the received the National Award, and the popular TV show, 'Khandan'. 'The way she carries herself, how outspoken she is, and how clean she is, is what I admire about her. Apart from 'Panchayat', I've been with her a lot, so I know her very well.' Gupta praised Rajwar's commitment towards acting. "When a person is good in real life, then that goodness is reflected in their work. Sunita is very helpful. She gets immersed in her roles... I really admire her," she said, adding, she has unfortunately not seen Rajwar's work in "Gullak" and "Santosh". Co-star and lead actor Kumar, who plays Abhishek Tripathi or 'Sachivji' in the show, expressed his joy at the tremendous love and appreciation the series has received over its three seasons. ''Panchayat' is a well-written show, there is simplicity, authenticity, but I was not sure how many people would click on it and watch it. But it exploded , and many people saw it, and we got so much love from people. I never thought this would happen. "Although I knew that it was a very different kind of story from the stories that were being told at that time. But we didn't predict that it would get this level of result or response." "Panchayat 4" is scheduled to be released on June 24.
