Akshay Oberoi calls ‘Dil Bekaraar’ a crash course of the ’80s
Akshay Oberoi, who is known for films like ‘Gurgaon’, ‘Kaalakaandi’ and ‘Laal Rang’, is currently gearing up for the release of his Disney+ Hotstar series ‘Dil Bekaraar’.
Akshay will be seen alongside Raj Babbar, Poonam Dhillon, Padmini Kolhapure, Sahher Bambba, Medha Shankar and Sukhmani Sadana. The show directed by Habib Faisal tells the story of love and ideology set in the 1980s.
Recently, Akshay spoke about his experience of working under the leadership of director Habib Faisal. He said, “Habib Faisal is a ‘specific’ director. He has an eye for detail; he creates a ‘specific world’ for you. He ensures that everyone gives their best of ability; he holds your hand through the journey and helps you do it. He would make me read and talk to me about things that inspired me about the ’80s world which made my job easier.”
He added that this series was like a crash course for him to understand the era of the ’80s, “All great directors do this – they learn their world so well and make your job easier. He knew the characters so well; he understood what they looked like, sounded and felt like too. He had an exact vision of what he wanted and I completely relied on him for my character. The series was a crash course of the ’80s for me and thank God Habib Faisal was my director.”
Produced by Sobo Films, ‘Dil Bekaraar’ is all set to release on Disney+ Hotstar from November 26.

BB 20: Yung DSA opens up on growing up amid parents’ financial struggles

Mumbai : Rapper and musician Yung DSA opened up about his childhood. He recalled a difficult phase when financial problems would often lead to fights between his parents and how those experiences made him accustomed to living away from his family.
During a conversation inside the Bigg Boss season 20 house, Yung DSA was asked by Arishfa Kham as to whom he was missing the most at the moment. While he mentioned his close friend Samiksha, he said that being away from his parents was something he had become used to from a young age.
“I mean, I am used to staying away from parents, to be honest. When I was a kid, my mom used to go to Solapur. My grandparents used to live there, so we used to go there to get things,” he recalled.
He then opened up about the financial difficulties his family faced during his childhood and how they affected his parents’ relationship.
“My parents used to fight a lot because of financial issues. So, my dad and mom used to work and my brother and I used to live alone. So, I am used to it,” Yung DSA said.
He said that frequent travel and work-related commitments later further accustomed him to staying away from home.
“I used to travel a lot. So, I have moved away and stayed away from home a lot,” he added.
Despite spending considerable time away from his family, Yung DSA stressed that the distance has not affected their bond. “My family and I are very much connected. But I’m used to living without them,” he said.
The rapper during the family messages task inside the Bigg Boss house was seen getting extremely emotional upon listening to his mother, father and brother’s voice.

Qazi Touqeer calls Arijit Singh the ‘father of crazy things’

Mumbai : Singer Qazi Touqeer opened up about his bond with fellow singer Arijit Singh.
He described the latter as a private person who, despite his reserved nature, shares a similar sense of craziness with him.
Talking about Arijit to Arishfa Khan and Uditi Singh in Bigg Boss Season 20, Qazi said the singer has a different level of madness and is someone who keeps pushing himself to explore more.
“When Arijit and I sit together, Arijit has pain in the stomach laughing. My level is different from his. He also does crazy things. He is the father of crazy things. But he is a private person. He only opens up with his close people. He is like me,” Qazi said.
Qazi went on to describe how Arijit’s curiosity and creative approach continue to push him further. “He keeps increasing his level of craziness. He digs the well so much. He finds the fun part, digs in more. But that’s how it should be,” he said.
Praising Arijit’s personality, Qazi added, “He is crazy. He is beautiful. It should not end. He is amazing. He is a champ. He has the attitude of a champion.”
Drawing a parallel between himself and Arijit, Qazi said the two share a similar personality despite their different levels of expression. “But we both are the same. He and me, we both are the same,” he said.
For the uninitiated, Qazi and Arijit have both carved their own spaces in the Indian music industry, with Qazi gaining popularity after winning the first season of the singing reality show Fame Gurukul. Arijit went on to become one of the most prominent playback singers of contemporary Hindi cinema.
After Qazi entered Bigg Boss 20, Arijit took to his private X account to cheer for his former Fame Gurukul co-contestant, writing, “I will have to watch Bigg Boss for the first time because apna rockstar Qazi hai udhar.”
