Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali is reuniting with Diljit Dosanjh for his period love story. His upcoming film is set in the 1940s, during the time of India's Partition. The movie will explore the emotional toll of migration and the impact of historical upheaval on personal relationships.
According to sources, the film is set in Punjab and follows a young couple whose lives are torn apart in the wake of Partition. 'Set in the 1940s, the movie looks at Partition and its after-effects from the lens of two lovers.

If all goes according to plan, filming is expected to begin in August. The source adds, 'Through the movie, Imtiaz will trace the heartbreak that accompanies migration. Despite the theme, the story will not show Pakistan, and only make passing references to it."

"I have the earliest memories, whether I had to go to an annual day programme, or I had an exam in school, or I had some kind of tiff with a bunch of friends-I always had someone who was my safety, and I knew that was my mom," she said. But it's not just the maternal role that plays a role in empowering women. Kapoor strongly believes that "empowered women empower women".With a staggering 93.7 million followers on Instagram-more than those of Alia Bhatt, Sachin Tendulkar and even Priyanka Chopra-Kapoor sits at the top tier of India's social media celebrities Talking about her "secret sauce", she said, "I think it's how welcomed I have felt by the family-my family on Instagram-over the past 15 years," adding that authenticity is to what made her decide to become an entrepreneur, she said being a consumer was the starting point.

From her father, she said, she learned how to respect money, and from the women, well, their lessons have been priceless."I've had more of a matriarchal upbringing , if I may say, and a very community-driven one. My mom always made me feel seen, and so did all the women in my life. I feel very, very blessed to have had that."Kapoor fired up the audience with an empowering declaration, dismissing those who claim women can't have it all. "I think we can have it all. The sky's the limit. We just need to know what we want-and go after it," she said.
