But she is wonderful. She looks good on camera, works hard, is vulnerable and sensitive, and is nice to work with." "There are no tantrums, from what I saw in the few films I have done with her. All that never changed with her. What happened was that her choices were not right. That is also something an actor needs to learn. You have to make those choices, the ones that are difficult to make," he went on."There is so much pressure on an actor.

Your honour should not be lost, right?)'advertisementWhen another character tries to calm her, she responds, 'Agar aapne kabhi thodi himmat dikha ke baat ki hoti naa, toh aaj mere baat karne ki naubat nahi aati (If you had shown some courage and spoken up, then it wouldn't have been necessary for me to talk).' One fan commented on Instagram, "She is a good actor, finally she's got a good script to deliver (sic)". A second user wrote, "Finally she is back. I loved her in qala, Bulbul, and Laila Majnu. She is always so good (sic)." A third user commented, "The last scream said everything (sic)."Featuring Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi in the lead roles, 'Dhadak 2' is a socially relevant love story. It is directed by Shazia Iqbal and backed by Dharma Productions. India Today gave a 3-star rating to 'Dhadak 2'. "The Shazia Iqbal-directed film attempts to tackle caste-based atrocities with courage, but not conviction. Unlike the original 'Pariyerum Perumal', it holds back from making the kind of sharp, fearless commentary the subject demands. What could have been a powerful political statement became a diluted narrative, seemingly softened to dodge censorship or controversy. The re-dubbed climax dialogues only add to the unease," read the film clashed with Ajay Devgn's 'Son of Sardaar 2' in theatres on August 1.- Ends

'Mat aao Europe': Indian tourists' summer rant goes viral– watch the video here
A candid Instagram video by an Indian tourist has gone viral, sparking a discussion about what it's really like to travel in Europe during summer. In the clip, Bulbul Pandey (@pandeyjipardesi) shares his frustration with the extreme heat and the lack of basic facilities that many tourists face during the peak season. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now His blunt advice to fellow travellers? 'Mat aao Europe' – don't visit Europe in the summer. The struggle of Europe's summer heat In the now-viral video, Bulbul expresses his discomfort while travelling through different cities in Europe, pointing out how tough it can be to explore during the peak summer heat. Right at the start, he delivers a clear message for anyone planning a European summer getaway: 'Bahut garmi hai. Jo log bhi Europe aana chahte hain ghoomne, please mat aao' (It's way too hot here. Those planning to visit Europe, please don't). Watch the viral video here: What bothers him the most? The absence of basic cooling facilities in many European hotels and rentals. Even with steep accommodation costs, he says it's common to find places without air conditioning– or even a fan– making it nearly impossible for tourists to deal with the scorching heat. Small rooms, high prices: The discomforts of travel Bulbul also takes issue with the size and pricing of hotel rooms, calling them 'dabbe jaise chhote chhote kamre hain yahan par vo bhi itne mehengey' (The rooms are so small like boxes and still very expensive). The video also touches on the lack of basic amenities for travelers, with Bulbul explaining that even staying hydrated in the heat is a challenge. He warns that a small bottle of water can cost anywhere between 2 to 2.5 euros (around ₹200–₹250), adding another layer to the frustration. Mixed reactions from viewers Since Bulbul's video went viral, it has sparked a flood of responses from viewers online, with people expressing both agreement and disagreement. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Some users agreed with Bulbul's take on summer travel, recounting their own frustrating experiences in European cities. One user commented, 'He is absolutely right. Majority of cafés and restaurants didn't even have fans, let alone AC. Not a good idea to visit during summer. Even the cheapest hotel in India has a fan or a cooler.' Similarly, another user shared their experience, 'My daughter lives in Germany... she says the same. She bought a fan and an air cooler.' However, not all viewers felt the same way. Some defended the European summer experience, asserting that Europe, in fact, offers plenty of comfort even in the heat. 'I don't know which part of Europe you went to. No doubt it's warm, but there are ACs on the trains, trams, buses, and in hotels. It's beautiful. Don't spread rumours. I was there last week, and it was amazing,' a user pointed out.
