Speaking to ANI, she said, "My role is very special. I am playing the role of Saba. I have learnt a lot from Saba. There is a lot of difference between me and Saba. Sometimes you read a script and you are just showcasing a girl or a character. But with Saba, she had a different start in the film, and she grows into something very different.
I found that very unique. I got a lot of connectivity from that story. I am very excited. Let's see how the audience will feel.
I have worked very hard. I have worked from the bottom of my heart."

It's a classical Bollywood romantic film, and over the last few years we've seen such films almost stop being made.
This is our effort to bring back a traditional Bollywood film for the audience."

Julia appeared on the Jay Shetty Podcast and said, "People knew who I was. I was like a hood celebrity, and these directors heard about me and wanted to meet me. They were writing a part for this young girl who has a kind of sugar daddy situation. And that movie would go on to become Uncut Gems," she said. "I auditioned like everyone else. Unfortunately, even though they had written it for me, the studios were like, 'We don't know her.' They wanted like Scarlett Johansson and all these other beautiful women and established actresses," she added. However, Fox went on to describe what the turning point was: "At the time, I didn't even know if I could actually act, but I had a hunch. I did a screen test with Adam Sandler, and it went really well, and they were able to convince the studios to let me do it." Fox had heard they (makers) met with Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lawrence for her role before casting her, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Fox played Sandler's love interest, who is also financially supported by him. Before Fox began acting, she said, "Everybody knew I was living off of my sugar daddy's money," and she was "looked at as the spectacle." Since then, her acting credits have included No Sudden Move, Presence, Fantasmas and more, according to The Hollywood Reporter. (ANI)

Alia Bhatt recreates Rekhas timeless saree look from Silsila at Umrao Jaan screening
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 27 (ANI): It was a moment straight out of a fan's dream -- and Alia Bhatt was living it. The actress turned heads at the special screening of Umrao Jaan, dressed in a gorgeous saree inspired by one of Rekha's most iconic looks from the 1981 film Silsila. Dressed in a light pink saree, Alia's look was styled by Rhea Kapoor.

The 'Raazi' actress smiled and posed for photographers at the event, where she joined others in celebrating Umrao Jaan, another cult classic starring Rekha. Stylist Rhea Kapoor also shared photos of Rekha's original look in her Instagram stories, confirming the inspiration behind Alia's outfit. Fashion page Diet Sabya praised the styling on Instagram, writing, "Rekha ma in Silsila has given us fashion and heartbreak refs for ages. Eons. Centuries.

Silsila, directed by Yash Chopra, starred Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, and Rekha. Over the years, the film's songs and Rekha's look have become timeless. Meanwhile, fans are looking forward to the restored version of Umrao Jaan, which will hit theatres on Friday.

PM Modi praises fitness start-up 'Tagda Raho' for merging tradition with modernity
New Delhi [India], June 26 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again praised the fitness start-up 'Tagda Raho', saying that the initiative has 'beautifully merged tradition with modernity.' His remarks came after the official X handle of 'Mann Ki Baat' highlighted that the start-up has gained nationwide recognition following its mention in one of the episodes. Sharing the Mann Ki Baat post on his X handle, PM Modi said, 'Indian culture offers many ways to remain fit and healthy. In MannKiBaat, we've been showcasing such efforts, including one such effort which has beautifully merged tradition with modernity in their StartUp.' The Mann ki Baat's post highlighted that the start-up has received the nationwide spotlight after PM Modi mentioned it in an episode back in December of last year. 'When PM Narendra Modi mentioned the Fitness Start-up 'Tagda Raho' in 'Mann Ki Baat', this initiative to revive Indian traditional ways of staying healthy got the nationwide spotlight! That's the power of #MannKiBaat -- turning ideas into impact and dreams into success,' the post read. In December, PM Modi praised the 'Tagda Raho' startup, a Bengaluru-based fitness startup that involves exercises with Gada (mace) and Mugdar (Indian club). This fitness startup made headlines last year when former Indian team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni expressed interest and invested in it. The founder of this startup, Rishabh Malhotra, while discussing the idea behind the startup's name, stated that 'Tagda Raho' is used as a salutation in the Assam Regiment, similar to how officers and soldiers greet each other within that unit. Instead of saying hello or namaste, they say 'Tagda Raho' to each other when they meet. This concept comes from there. 'I am trying to bring out the concept of our traditional exercises through the 'Tagda Raho' startup, which has been ongoing in the country's akhadas, in a modern way so that people in the cities can adopt them,' Malhotra added. Showing gratitude to PM Modi for bringing the nation's focus to his fitness startup, Malhotra said, 'I am grateful that I got the opportunity to reach the nation through 'Mann Ki Baat' and introduce the 'Tagda Raho' startup.'
