Viola Davis, too, marked her presence on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival on the 11th day. The actress-producer donned a bright yellow dress for the event and kept her hair all curly to go with the look. Davis, too, had a trail at the end of her gown. For the jewelry, she opted for a rhinestone choker with a green emerald in the middle.

The actress who served elegance in a black off-shoulder dress at the amfAR gala the other day chose to step out in a completely contrasting color. The new mom in town donned a strapless dress that was body-fitted at the top and floral at the bottom.
The Crakk star kept her hair parted, gelled, and tied into a bun. She opted for bold red lips and accessorized with a silver neckpiece and earrings.

Nimrat Kaur Was Close To Giving Up Before The Lunchbox: 'I Would Cry, Feel Lonely'
Last Updated: Before The Lunchbox changed her life, Nimrat Kaur struggled with self-doubt and low funds. She opens up about the fear, loneliness, and voice that told her not to give up. Before she became a familiar face in films and international shows, Nimrat Kaur was just another hopeful artist in Mumbai, unsure of when her next paycheck would come in—or if it ever would. In a candid conversation with The Indian Express, the actor opened up about the emotionally and financially challenging years she endured before her big break in The Lunchbox. Recalling the uncertainty of those early days, Nimrat said, 'Sometimes I would get worried—where will my next paycheck come from? Am I good enough? Should I go back? Do people like seeing me in what I do?" She added, 'Before The Lunchbox, there was a point where I didn't know what I would do ahead." After moving to Mumbai, Nimrat spent two to three months working in music videos and was frequently cast in advertisement films. Alongside that, she spent four to five years immersed in theater. But even that wasn't enough to sustain her. 'While doing theater, there was a time when my bank balance had fallen very low. It was very difficult to understand where money would come from," she shared. 'There was a lot of fear, and returning home in a situation like that is a different kind of humiliation. There were days when I was very sad, low, things were very difficult, challenging. I would cry, feel lonely, but there was a voice inside me that said, don't give up." Nimrat's perseverance paid off when she landed her breakthrough role in The Lunchbox (2013), opposite Irrfan Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Directed by Ritesh Batra and produced by Guneet Monga, Anurag Kashyap, and Arun Rangachari, the film went on to win the Grand Rail d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and changed the course of her career. Before The Lunchbox, Nimrat had small roles in Yahaan, Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana, and the English-language film One Night with the King. Since her breakout success, she has starred in critically acclaimed projects like Airlift and Dasvi, and earned recognition abroad with roles in Homeland, Wayward Pines, and Foundation. Most recently seen in Kull: The Legacy of the Raisingghs and Sky Force, Nimrat Kaur is gearing up for her next release, Section 84. From near breakdowns to global breakthroughs, her journey is a testament to resilience—and the quiet voice that kept telling her not to give up. First Published:

Radhika Apte Says Film Industry Isn't Supportive Of New Mothers: 'It's Really Difficult To...'
Last Updated: Radhika Apte says the film industry isn't conducive to the needs of new mothers, calling it 'really difficult' to balance long shoots with motherhood. Radhika Apte may have returned to work just a week after giving birth, but she's the first to admit that the Indian film industry isn't built to support women like her. Speaking from London while caring for her six-month-old daughter, Apte offered a candid perspective on the challenges new mothers face in showbiz. 'I don't think they are," she said when asked if the film industry is conducive to the needs of new moms. 'I don't know how I'm going to navigate that going ahead." Her comments come at a time when conversations around maternity in the entertainment business are gaining traction. Just this week, Deepika Padukone was reported to have exited Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, allegedly due to requests for shorter, more manageable work hours post-pregnancy. Meanwhile, actor-producer Ajay Devgn claimed at a trailer launch that eight-hour workdays were becoming the norm for 'people at large," not just mothers. But Radhika isn't so sure. 'It's really difficult to work in our film industry, given the number of hours and how we film generally, and the time for which we don't get to see the child," she explained. 'So I guess I'll just have to figure it out now." This struggle isn't just theoretical for her. Radhika worked through her pregnancy, turning in a writing draft the day before she went into labour, and was back on Zoom calls for virtual meetings within a week of delivery—one of which she attended while breastfeeding, a moment she captured in a photo shared last December. On the work front, Radhika Apte's latest film Sister Midnight is set to hit Indian theatres on May 30. The film, which originally premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, features Radhika as Uma, a bold, rebellious woman challenging societal norms, particularly those around arranged marriage. The cast also includes Ashok Pathak, Chhaya Kadam, Smita Tambe, and Navya Sawant. Sister Midnight was released in the US on May 16 and is slated for a French release on June 11. Radhika was last seen in a cameo in Merry Christmas, starring Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi. First Published:
