Sanya Malhotra Was Rejected From Did’s Audition By Dance Deewane 3 Judge Dharmesh Yelande(Photo Credit –Instagram)
They say Bollywood is a ‘fateful’ industry. Luck By Chance, as Zoya Akhtar aptly called it. You might reach the top despite being a mediocre talent, and you might never make it despite hustling and struggling and having a lot of potentials. Many times, actors and artists arrive much late, and two such artists were Sanya Malhotra and Dharmesh Yelande. But the interesting part is that both of them are getting their due.
What if we tell you that Sanya was once rejected as a talent by Dharmesh himself? The actress once revealed how she auditioned for Dance India Dance but was rejected in the initial rounds since she did not have a sob story. However, she even confessed that choreographer Dharmesh Yelande was a part of the crew when she got rejected.

For women making their movies and especially making their mark in a male-dominated industry like Bollywood it is not easy. However, Guneet Monga, Mira Nair, Prerna Arora, Ashwini Iyer Tiwary, Kiran Ral, and Zoya Akhtar have proven that everyone has space to exist and excel.

Mumbai, March 8 (Ians) Hindi cinema has always been known for impactful dialogues, and despite its old male bias (which is tilting in the right direction lately!), it is no longer the men who deliver a punch in the lines they mouth.
The women of Hindi cinema have delivered some of its iconic dialogues over the years that have left an indelible mark on the subconscious of the audience.
Ians takes a look at some of the most iconic dialogues by Bollywood women that have defined power, resilience and pride.
The first dialogue on the list is by Sonam Kapoor from her film ‘Neerja’ in which she says, “Haunsla rakh, usse saari samasya hal ho jaati hai.” The dialogue beautifully conveys that when the going is tough, courage is what gets people going. Courage changes the character of a person and makes them better equipped to deal with any situation.

Janhvi Kapoor vs Ananya Panday vs Sara Ali Khan Net Worth 2024 ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
Gen Z actresses are no lesser than their seniors in Bollywood. In fact, they are very well aware of the kind of work they’re doing and its worth. Especially when you’re a star kid, the film offers flow even before you debut in the industry. Today, let’s compare the net worth of actresses Ananya Panday, Sara Ali Khan, and Janhvi Kapoor.

Anil Kapoor’s Fighting Spirit: On Four Decades of Film, the ‘Slumdog’ Effect, and One Heck of a Year
Anil Kapoor still gets meetings he can trace back to “Slumdog Millionaire.”
Chatting with IndieWire shortly after the premiere of Viacom18’s “Fighter,” the Indian actor is one of the rare global stars to enjoy “crossover success” — a buzzy term that, these days, seems to mean less crossing over and more crossing back-and-forth. Indian film stars, once compelled to journey West to Hollywood, now enjoy rich storytelling opportunities at home that also exist abroad. Between “Fighter,” “Animal,” a remake of “The Night Manager,” and daughter Rhea’s TIFF premiere, Kapoor’s last 12 months demonstrate the diversity of projects available for Indian actors today — though he still gets the most worldwide acknowledgement for “Slumdog.”
“I get really surprised sometimes at the kind of people who still know me, still remember me, and want to work with me. It’s still continuing,” Kapoor told IndieWire. “As a matter of fact, I insist...

The twelfth episode of Koffee with Karan was a lukewarm affair, even though it was packaged to be a nostalgia trip down memory lane. Legendary actresses Zeenat Aman and Neetu Kapoor graced the Koffee couch, only to remain tight-lipped about their time in the Hindi film industry in the 1970s. The whole episode was just the actresses praising each other, with nothing new or exciting being shared about their work experience in a male-dominated industry. What a tiring way to end the season. Koffee with Karan season finale, though, had more than two guests, and all were invited to roll out the Koffee Awards of the season. They were to judge and pick a winner out of all the best episodes that had aired.

Vikrant Massey was the star of the year 2023. It must have been one of the lucky days for Indian Cinema when Vidhu Vinod Chopra decided to cast the actor in his ‘dream come true’ story, 12th Fail. After the phenomenal success and ample amount of applause, the actor has moved on to his next film – The Sabarmati Report.
Vikrant has been an actor par excellence ever since he made his debut on Television with a show called Dhoom Machao Dhoom that aired on Disney India. However, he shot to stardom while playing Shyam in Colors TV’s Balika Vadhu!
His transition from TV to film was very smooth. He started from Vikramaditya Motwane’s Lootera, where he played Ranveer Singh‘s friend. His performance was so impressive that he next turned into a breakthrough star with Zoya Akhtar‘s Dil Dhadakne Do.

The Archies’ Agastya Nanda Breaks Silence On Receiving Criticism For His Debut Film – Read! (Picture Credit: Instagram)
Last year, in November, Zoya Akhtar launched a couple of star kids with her film, The Archies. Shah Rukh Khan-Gauri Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan, Boney Kapoor-Sridevi’s daughter Khushi Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya Nanda, and others were seen in the film along with a couple of few more actors. While the film failed to win everyone’s hearts, it also received massive criticism from nepotism haters.
Not only Zoya but even its lead actors were subjected to trolls and criticism for their acting in their debut movie. Now in the latest interview, Agastya has reacted to the criticism and said that he wasn’t prepared for this area. Reacting to the same, he called his mother, Shweta Bachchan Nanda, the ‘biggest grounding factor’ not his grandfather Big B.

Shah Rukh Khan-Gauri Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan, Boney Kapoor-Sridevi’s daughter Khushi Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya Nanda, and others were seen in the film along with a couple of few more actors. While the film failed to win everyone’s hearts, it also received massive criticism from nepotism haters.
Not only Zoya but even its lead actors were subjected to trolls and criticism for their acting in their debut movie. Now in the latest interview, Agastya has reacted to the criticism and said that he wasn’t prepared for this area. Reacting to the same, he called his mother, Shweta Bachchan Nanda, the ‘biggest grounding factor’ not his grandfather Big B.

Actress-musician Aditi Saigal, professionally known as Dot, has shared what inspires her music. Dot made her acting debut with the Zoya Akhtar directorial ‘The Archies’. Dot’s music is very rustic and feels refreshing in the age where composers often use sounds generated from softwares and commercial loops. That’s because Dot finds her inspiration in everyday things like creaking doors and auto rickshaw rides.
The actress also released her streaming album titled ‘Practice Rooms’ recently.
Talking about what inspires the musician in her, Dot said: “Little things like cracking paint, creaking doors and auto rickshaw rides. Sometimes there are people in my life who are characters I just need to write about. Other times it’s more reflective. But the general flavour of my writing comes from a poetry of the ordinary.”
When asked if acting has in any way affected the musician in her, she said: “Yes I mean everything I do,...

We have Indian Match Making, a reality television show on Netflix that markets marriage as an institution everyone should aspire to be in. This show was primarily made to point out the mindset of the Indians in their country and the diaspora living abroad, desperately wanting to be in touch with their culture and legacy. It paints only the happy picture of two families coming together in the name of holy matrimony. Then we have Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti’s Made in Heaven, which shows the ugly face of weddings and subsequent marriages. The show is as real as it gets. These are two opposite ends of the spectrums about one institution based on which the society of our country thrives.
Tanuja Chandra’s latest documentary, Wedding.Con, produced along with BBC India, talks about the horrors of marriages that are being initiated via matrimonial websites. Women are conned...

As Arjun Varain Singh’s Kho Gaye Hum Kahan approaches its climax, Imaad Ali (Siddhant Chaturvedi), a stand-up comedian, discloses a poignant reality about his life to his open mic audience, a bitter reality that he has concealed from both his friends, Ahana (Ananya Panday), and Neil (Adarsh Gourav). The revelation is so touching that it is challenging to hold back tears. However, I hoped the film would feature more of such moments, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the challenges faced by the three close friends who are in their twenties throughout the narrative. No doubt there are ample genuine moments that weave a poignant tale mirroring the trials and tribulations of the millennials attempting to find their footing in a world driven by digital validation. Yet amid their uncertainties and yearnings, a subtle artificiality lingers like a thin veil, preventing us from plunging into the characters’ lives...

Zoya Akhtar, wearing the hat of co-writer and co-producer of ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’, has said that all the three principal actors Ananya Panday, Adarsh Gourav and Siddhant Chaturvedi have nailed their performancens in the film.
In a conversation with the media, Zoya she opened up on the performances of the actors and what made her choose Arjun Varain as the film’s director.
“The characters required the actors to be vulnerable,” explained Zoya. “Ananya, Siddhant and Adarsh are too good and real in the film. There was a feeling of being not good enough that had to come out from their roles and each one of them was able to do it in a naked, vulnerable way.”
Talking about Arjun’s direction, Zoya said, “When one does not have a body of work and wants to be a director, one needs to have a voice and a clear perspective.

Kho Gaye Hum Kahan could be loosely translated to ‘Where have we gotten ourselves lost’. The title of the movie is an ideal ode to a generation that seems to have lost a sense of purpose, as stated by one of the characters in the movie. Arjun Varain Singh’s Netflix film explore the lives of three best friends living in the bustling city of Mumbai who are going through a crisis of their own and resort to social media for some temporary relief. Excel Entertainment and Tiger Baby Films have released slice-of-life and coming-of-age dramas that leave a lasting impression on the audience. Lakshya, Rock On, Gully Boy, and Eternally Confused and Eager for Love are some examples of the kind of content these two production houses run by Farhan Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani, Zoya Akhtar, and Reema Kagti have put out. Kho Gaye Hum Kahan was released as a...

Adarsh Gourav, who’s awaiting the release of his next film ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’, a Netflix year ender, has said that his resolution for the year 2024 is to channelise his anger in the right direction.
Much appreciated for the way he essayed his character in ‘The White Tiger’, the actor said, “I want to channelise my anger in the right way. I know it is a natural emotion to have but it is self-destructive. I want to channelise it effectively.”
Moving on to how far he could relate to his character Neil from the film, he said, “I genuinely feel Arjun, Nandini, Karan and Zoya, when they cast us, saw the essence of each of the characters that the three of us are playing in the film.
“I instantly related to Neil’s feeling of inadequacy and insecurity — the feeling of financial insecurity in the midst of the people he is surrounded by.
