Mumbai, March 9 (Ians) India’s hopes of winning the coveted Miss World 2024 title came crashing after Miss India Sini Shetty failed to make it to the Top 4 of the beauty pageant, here on Saturday.
Sini was asked about the role of social media in the empowerment of women across the globe, and it seems like the judges’ panel wasn’t too impressed with her answer.
She said that social media has the power to change the world, adding that it has led to increasing participation of women in different fields.
She also said that social media has the power to place the world on a progressive path.
India eventually lost to Yasmina Zaytoun of Lebanon in the Asia and Oceania category.

Following the October parliamentary election that saw the defeat of the right-wing Law and Justice party and appointment of leader of the opposition party Donald Tusk as prime minister, Polish filmmakers are cautiously readying for change.
“So far, our cinema authorities have not changed. It remains to be seen whether they will change their approach to funding more topical or controversial projects. Recent years have been very difficult in this regard,” says acclaimed director Agnieszka Holland.
Holland’s latest film, refugee drama “Green Border,” had been attacked by the right-wing government last year. Her next film, “Franz,” about Franz Kafka, is a Czech-German-Polish co-production to be sold at EFM by Films Boutique.
“We know everything and nothing about Kafka. There are dozens of detailed biographies and the reasons for his growing importance remain a mystery. I am trying to put this film together like a scattered jigsaw puzzle,” she adds.

Director Karolina Bielawska is moving into production with her debut feature, a biopic inspired by the life of iconic Polish singer Violetta Villas. The working title is “Violetta and the Woodpecker,” Film New Europe reports.
Bielawska has spent five years developing the project. She is best known for 2015’s “Call Me Marianna,” which won best documentary at Krakow Film Festival.
Bielawska has wanted to make a film about Villas – who was born in 1938 and died in 2011 – since 2016, but had to wait for the approval of the family, who collaborated on the script. The film was initially planned to be produced by Munk Studio, but as the project grew and reconstructions of Poland in the 50s and 60s raised the budget to 3.2 million Euros (15 million Pln), Munk Studio stepped away from the project.

Speaking to ScreenDaily during this week’s Polish Days in Wroclaw, Puszczynska said Lodz-based Extreme Emotions is managed with her daughter Emilia and is in addition to her work as a producer and head of development at Opus Film (Ida).
