Palak Tiwari Opens Up About Superstitions and the Pressure of Being a Celebrity Showstopper
Palak Tiwari
Last seen in the horror comedy The Bhootnii, Palak Tiwari shares that she's quite superstitious as a person. 'You know I am very superstitious in life in general. I like to keep the same team, same shoes. It is just all in my head,' said Palak who walked the ramp as a showstopper at Bombay Times Fashion Week .So, is there anything superstitious she follows before hitting the ramp? Or how would she react if she gets trolled for accidently tripping on the ramp? While she laughs off the first question, the latter she reacts saying, 'Maybe I will be sad. Cry a little bit. Eat an ice-cream and move on.' And does she take any tips from her actor, mother Shweta Tiwari and she says, 'When it comes to walking the ramp my mom feels very nervous about me. So, I don't know what tips she will give me (laughs).'In an earlier chat with us, Palak who is frequently seen as a showstopper, addressed the issue, calling out the undue pressure placed on celebrities at fashion events. She said, 'There's a lot of judgment and pressure on celebrity showstoppers these days. People need to understand that we are not claiming to be professional models, nor are we trying to take away their jobs. Actors won't ever say that they are better than models with their ramp walks.'The Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan actress further explained the role of celebrities in fashion shows, saying that they simply help bring a designer's vision to life. 'When a designer envisions an actor as a showstopper, we're there to support that vision. I think if they have envisioned you the least you can do is walk for them in a way that makes them proud. A fashion show is about the designer's vision coming to life and if they envisioned me in their design I would be grateful and humble to walk for them. That's all that celebrities add to a fashion show.'

Siddharth Nigam on losing Azaad to Ajay Devgn's nephew, Aaman: No explanation, no closure— just silence
The harsh realities of Bollywood's nepotistic landscape have long been a topic of discussion, with many actors attributing their missed opportunities to the absence of influential connections. Recently, Siddharth Nigam lost a big role in Azaad to Ajay Devgn's nephew, Aaman who is making his Bollywood debut with the film. Speaking to us, Siddharth says, "Sometimes, talent isn't enough! I wish I had a godfather too. I was disappointed, heartbroken, but then I made myself understand that this is quite common." Despite working in all mediums and that too from such a young age, Nigam revealed that he's had his share of disappointments, particularly when he lost out on a major role to a star kid. 'After spending 10 years in the industry, it hits hard when something you've worked towards just slips away because of something out of your control—like someone's last name,' says Siddharth. 'I was in talks, prepped, and ready, and then suddenly the project went to Ajay Devgn's nephew, Aaman. There was no explanation, no closure—just silence.' He adds, "It's demotivating when you lose projects due to lack of support or that final push in the industry. I won't lie, it hurt—my mother was even more hurt, as she had going to meetings with me and has seen me work hard all these years. I have the screen presence, skills, and discipline. But even then, I lost the role, not because I wasn't good enough, but because I didn't have the right support." Nigam is quick to clarify that he doesn't harbor resentment but that the experience also highlighted an "unspoken requirement" in the industry. 'I don't have a godfather, but sometimes, I wish I did. Just someone to put their hand on my shoulder and say, 'Don't worry, I've got your back.' But I've always had to be my own support system. My mother, my brother—we've built everything from scratch.' "I have worked really hard to be where I am today," says Siddharth. Even today, when the success of Hai Junoon has pushed him further into the limelight, Siddharth says that while he's proud of his work, he's still waiting for the kind of project that defines his Bollywood presence. "I have done quite a few big banner projects, like Dhoom 3 and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, but I'm still waiting for that film—where people look at me and say, 'This is Siddharth Nigam, the actor.' Not just the face or the physique, but the performer,' he says. Speaking about Hai Junoon, the actor calls it an enriching experience: 'I worked with very senior directors and talented actors from different backgrounds. It pushed me to work harder because everyone around me was giving their best—Neil Nitin Mukesh sir, Jacqueline Fernandez ma'am, and other cast members. To top it all up, my fans are celebrating; they're happy.'
