'If someone is...': What Smriti Irani said on Bollywood's 'silence' on Op Sindoor
Former Union Minister Smriti Irani has advised people to "not watch" actors if they are offended at their "lack of support" to Operation Sindoor, India's military operation against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and POK, launched on May 7. BJP leader Smriti Irani (ANI) In a TV interview, the politician was asked about chatter around Bollywood's muffled response to the operation that India launched a fortnight after 26 civilians were killed in a deadly terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam. 'If someone is not with the country, and their lack of support offends you, then don't watch them,' she was quoted as saying by an India Today report. 'How can you express your anger (against their silence) as an ordinary citizen? By tunning off," the publication further quoted Irani. The former MP also asserted that if an actor did not support the Army, it did not mean that no one else did. She said the entire country stood with its forces. She also said that India no longer waits for an actor to break silence on an issue and say 'Bharat Mata ki Jai'. "The country has been made aware of these realities," she asserted. Her interview came ahead of her return to television screens again after years in the reboot of popular show 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi', in which she will be playing the character of Tulsi Virani. Smriti Irani's remarks came over two months after India and Pakistan got engaged in a military conflict, triggered by Pakistan's targeting of air bases in India. The Indian armed forces said that Pakistan incurred heavy losses, with significant damage to its military infrastructure, including land and air assets. While some actors did heap praise on Operation Sindoor, there was chatter online that Bollywood remained largely silent on the issue, or gave a delayed reaction.

"Feels surreal": 'Sarabhai vs Sarabhai' star Rajesh Kumar on starting second innings with Saiyaara
Actor , best known for 'Sarabhai vs Sarabhai,' has made a stellar comeback to acting with 'Saiyaara.' Rajesh is seen as Aneet Padda's on-screen father in the film. Speaking to ANI, the actor expressed gratitude over embarking on his second innings as he shared, "It feels surreal. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now For me individually, I have begun a second innings in film. There is gratitude for the fact that I have been a part of the biggest blockbuster one can expect in life. I still can't believe it. Every character is getting noticed. Individual performances are being observed and have received praise." Noting that the whole approach of making the film was "inclusive," Rajesh added, "Everyone was working towards the film. Whatever we did, it was all for Mohit Suri's vision. The numbers, the shows, and the love have proven it." The actor also emphasised that 'Saiyaara' has created an ecosystem for everyone to rely on, adding that the influence is present almost everywhere. "What can be a better way for Bollywood to leave an impact - on the audiences and even on the local economy," he continued. In response to the craze among audiences in cinema halls, Rajesh drew parallels between generations and their reactions to films. "Every generation outpours their love for that one particular film. If I tell my kid about Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, he won't be able to relate to it. Aashiqui had a generation, and similarly, Saiyaara has got a generation. So, films are made on the expectations of the generation," the actor said. He explained that the film has turned out to be relatable as the concept is "believable and humane." Rajesh also went on to describe his experience in 'Saiyaara' as a "dream come true" moment, with the involvement of YRF, debutant actors, and such a big team. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "When I was in the industry back then, I did only 2-3 films. In my age bracket, there is a requirement for characters like mine. So, I think my placement in the second innings has been done perfectly. I am exploring all the dimensions and I am getting different roles," he said. During the conversation, the actor also dropped hints about his upcoming films with filmmakers Anurag Kashyap and Amit Rai. Nonetheless, 'Saiyaara,' which released on July 18, has received rave reviews from fans and critics alike.

Benedict Cumberbatch calls Hollywood 'grossly wasteful industry', here is why
Washington DC [US], July 23 (ANI): Actor Benedict Cumberbatch called out Hollywood for being a "grossly wasteful industry," specifically when it comes to food waste, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Recently, he appeared on Ruthie's Table 4 podcast, where he discussed seeing wastefulness firsthand, such as the strict diet he had to follow to undergo a "body transformation" for his role as Doctor Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although Cumberbatch shared that he likes the physical transformation aspect of his job, he also recalled having to eat five meals a day to meet his calorie intake goal, in addition to snacks like boiled eggs, crackers, almonds and cheese, which he called "horrific." "The exercise is great, and the end result is that you feel strong and you feel confident. You hold yourself better. You have the stamina to endure the exercise and the food that enables you to last through the gig. But it is horrific," he shared, adding, "I don't like it personally. I think it's horrific, eating beyond your appetite," as per the outlet. Cumberbatch added, "Going back to responsibility and resourcefulness and sustainability, it's just like, what am I doing? I could feed a family with the amount I'm eating." However, the actor said that it's not just food waste that makes the film and television business a "grossly wasteful industry," according to The Hollywood Reporter. "Think about set builds that aren't recycled, think about transport, think about food, think about housing, but also light and energy. The amount of wattage you need to create daylight and consistent light in a studio environment. It's a lot of energy," he said, as per the outlet. Cumberbatch shared that actors regularly get criticised when they speak out on "climate and excessive use of things" in Hollywood. But as an actor and producer, that hasn't stopped him from trying to "push the green initiative" and sustainability on sets. "Whether it's just a gentlemanly discussion about, 'Can we not have any single-use plastic? Really, I think we're beyond,'" he said. "You don't have to give the crew plastic bottles. If you're in the middle of a desert and you can't get glass bottles there, fair enough, but we're in the 21st century," as per The Hollywood Reporter. (ANI)
