Meet Kapoor family member, uncle of Kareena Kapoor, grandson of…, worked in many TV shows, his name is…
It is none other than Jatin Prithviraj Kapoor. He first entered the glamour world in the 90s. After working as an assistant director, he worked as an actor in television shows like 'Tahqiqat', 'Vansh', 'Rishtey' and 'Saans'. After this, Jatin Sial made his debut in Hindi cinema with the film 'Aa Ab Laut Chalen' directed by Rishi Kapoor, in which Aishwarya Rai and Akshay Khanna played the lead roles. Jatin was very excited about his first film.
Jatin Prithviraj Kapoor recently told Free Press Journal, ''Aa Ab Laut Chalen' was one of the most interesting parts of my life. Again, I approached Chintuji (Rishi Kapoor) because I had become an actor. Even though he was my cousin and I was friendly with him, I took the appointment through his secretary.'
Jatin Sial told that Rishi Kapoor suddenly asked him to go to America one day. He was hiring him as an assistant for films. He agreed. But then he made him work as an actor. Jatin also talked about his television career. Jatin Sial said that companies used to cast him in their projects again and again. Jatin said, 'I got a call from Neena Gupta's office to work in 'Saans' (1998-99). It was a very successful show, and after this, I got a lot of work.'
Jatin Sial further said, 'I just did a lot of TV shows and never went into films. Whatever company I worked for, they always repeated me in their other serials or extended the role.' Jatin said that after 2000, production houses started paying more attention to the fees of the actors rather than their creativity.
Jatin Prithviraj Kapoor said that because of this, it became difficult for him to get work on TV. Jatin said, 'At that time in TV, I would say they had become a little casual towards actors. It was based on how much the actors would charge, rather than their creativity. So I decided to step back then, waiting for something better to come.' Currently, Jatin has made a comeback with OTT projects. He worked in series like 'Ramayug', 'Mismatched' and 'Potluck'.

State norm for prime-time theatre slots for Bengali films debuts today
Kolkata: The new rule of slotting at least one prime-time show, between 3 pm and 9 pm, to a Bengali film at all screens in the state will have to be implemented from Friday. While the move will ensure lesser-known Bengali films secure programming slots, show allocations may get complicated as many Bengali producers and distributors avoid state-wide releases or do not give films to all theatres. Almost all theatres and multiplexes in the city have already implemented the govt notification. Currently, six Bengali films — 'Dhumketu', 'Tobuo Bhalobashi', 'Dear Maa', 'Putulnacher Itikatha', 'Goodbye Mountain' and 'Bhutopurbo' — are screening in Kolkata. While Kaushik Ganguly's 'Dhumketu' is being screened at 160 properties in Bengal, Rabindra Nambiar's 'Tobuo Bhalobashi' has also got prime-time shows at many multiplexes here. A committee formed by minister Aroop Biswas, comprising Tollywood stakeholders, convened a meeting to determine how to prevent Bengali films from competing against each other at the box office. "Four Bengali films are slated for puja release. Future festival releases will be decided at the coming meetings," said 'Dhumketu' distributor Satadeep Saha.

Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo "This notification has given viewers the choice of watching Bengali films at suitable shows instead of Hindi movies. After two days of release, the number of shows of 'Dhumketu' increased from 460 to over 550," said co-producer Rana Sarkar. Navina cinema's owner Navin Chowkhani said, "This notification puts an end to any dadagiri of Hindi movie distributors at Bengal's cinemas. With Bengali movies doing phenomenally well, I am screening 'Dhumketu' at all three shows." But some theatres are yet to show Bengali films in prime time. Among such a hall is New Empire, where all four shows are devoted to 'War 2'. "Some theatres in Kolkata, such as Pradip, Society and Moonlight, have no taker for Bengali films. We have been told exceptions will be considered for them. New Empire is not showing 'Dhumketu' but it did not refuse to screen it. We had talks about film's New Empire screening before the notification was issued, and back then, we had decided against it. In future, no exhibitor will refuse to release a Bengali film in prime time," said distributor Saha. "At the same time, no distributor can refuse to release a Bengali film at a theatre if an exhibitor wants it." Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Your Type by Tanya George: When signs become sounding boards
Weird things happen when you make words work across scripts. The letter W gets its name from the French double vé (pronounced doo-bluh-vay), which translates to 'double v', which is exactly what it looks like. Now try and match that sound in Marathi. It requires some more letterforms and some matras that don't connect well if you don't have a good font. These connections used to be easier to write and paint. But these days, even hand-painters are influenced by digital font templates. This is more likely to crop up in North Indian languages, as in the Hussunally and Company sign in Hindi and Bangla, where the shirorekha does not connect. The letters were carved into wood separately and then arranged on site. Rocky Malaviya and Hanif Kureshi's homage to the I Heart NY sign is clever and deeply-rooted. In this Hindi and Bangla sign, the shirorekha doesn't connect because the letters were carved separately. Similar issues crop up when using a letterpress. Though I have a soft spot for sweet signs like the one for plumber where the ma and the ba don't connect. One intriguing side-effect when languages intersect is transliteration (replicating the sounds of one language into another, rather than the meaning), especially when English words are rendered in Devanagari. Hindi or Marathi words that end in a consonant ending are naturally pronounced without the short, neutral, and relaxed 'uh' sound. So, the halant (that trailing foot at the end of the script) just creates clutter. But in Odia, the halant at the end of House makes perfect sense. It actually captures the accent of the speaker, and does a good job of communicating. Here the Odia and Hindi spellings for 'Guest' capture the speaker's accent. The signs that grate on me the most? Ironically, ones that proclaim love. Across the country, neighbourhoods have been setting up public signs declaring: I Heart [insert location]. As someone who's lived in Kalina, I've grown fond of many things. But the I Heart Kalina installation rings hollow. In Kolkata, the Municipal Corporation has installed 'I Love [Ward No.]' signs across all 120 wards. Do they promote genuine affection, or contribute to visual and light pollution? The cheap Indian imitations of Glaser's I Heart NY sign are neither genuine nor attractive. The trend sprung in 2016, when Rocky Malaviya and Hanif Kureshi designed a sign proclaiming love for Mumbai. Theirs was a homage to Milton Glaser's 1976 I Heart NY sign. And they tweaked the Marathi La (in Love) to form a heart shape above the English text and also form the M in Mumbai. It feels tender, clever, deeply rooted. Glaser has said that his design was meant to be 'a declaration of love carved into a tree trunk'. It was sincere, grounded, and purposeful, while also being commissioned by the New York State Department of Commerce. By contrast, these cheap Indian imitations feel more like declarations of love one spots defacing monuments. Performative rather than heartfelt. From HT Brunch, August 23, 2025 Follow us on
