Actor-Manoj-Bajpayee

National Award-winning actor Manoj Bajpayee says he has never thought of himself featuring in conventional love stories, but if he is offered an unconventional one he would do it.

Asked what is drawing him to star in thrillers such as “Dial 100”, and “Silence, Can You Hear It?” Manoj told IANS: “We either make love stories or thrillers… So, lovestory is something… I have never thought of myself in those conventional love stories. I have done ‘Zubeida’ that was very popular and it garnered acclaims… including critical.

“If someone offers me a very unconventional type of love story I will do it.”

The 52-year-old acclaimed star questioned: “Other than that thrillers exist here what to do?”

Manoj says that if he has to do something else he would do independent films such as “Aligarh”, “Bhonsle” and “Gali Guleiyan” among others.

“If you want to work in the mainstream, this is the only genre which is there, whether it is me or any other actors, all of them are doing thrillers.”

Manoj’s latest release is “Dial 100”, directed by Rensil D’Silva, with whom the actor worked in the film “Aks”.

Talking about the film, he said: “I would call Dial 100 an emotional thriller. It has all the elements of a thriller but at the same time it has more to it. More social and emotional aspects to it. That makes it far more exciting and interesting.”

Tahira Kashyap, the wife of actor Ayushmann Khurrana, read out a powerful and hardhitting poem on Thursday morning, in support of the ongoing wrestlers’ protest in Delhi. She is among the first ones from the film industry to break her silence on the raging debate that has gripped the nation.

Celebrities from Bollywood, who are otherwise quite vocal on issues of national interest, have remained tightlipped about the ongoing wrestlers’ protest in the country.

Several Olympic and other world championship-winning wrestlers, including Sakshi Malik, Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia, have taken to the streets of Delhi demanding the arrest of former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who has been accused of sexual harassment by nearly 10 women.

Tahira Kashyap voices her support for protesting wrestlers

On Thursday morning, Tahira penned down a poem on the wrestlers’ protest and read it out in a video which she shared on her social media handle.

“Handing over the papers and then snatching back in shame, the headlines of our women wrestlers struggling to be heard just changed the game,” a part of her poem stated.

In the poem, she also said how she never differentiated between her daughter and son, and that they look up to the wrestlers, whom she addressed as “national heroes”.

Speaking of her daughter, she said, “She too has an aspiration to win medals for the nation. I snatched and clenched the papers hard for I never want her to know what awaits is a warped situation.”

“The women whom my son also looks up to, have been mistreated and told ‘shut up you’,” she added.

Celebs slammed for staying mum

Meanwhile, celebs are being slammed on the internet for not voicing out their opinion over the wrestlers’ protest. Netizens pointed out that while the celebs put out posts when the same wrestlers had won medals for the country, they have now decided to remain tightlipped when they actually need support.

A few celebs, however, condemned the Delhi Police’s brutal action on the wrestlers on the day of the new Parliament building’s innauguration.

Swara Bhasker shared a video and wrote, “Shameful that our top International athletes are forced to protest on streets against sexual harassment but accused BJP MP is being consistently shielded by the govt. Sack & investigate #BrijBhushanSharanSingh.”

Tovino Thomas, Kamal Haasan, Prakash Raj and Sonu Sood too condemned the police action.

Ira Khan, the daughter of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and his first wife Reena Dutta, has captured media attention and made headlines, this time by being spotted travelling in an auto-rickshaw.

The star kid has always chosen to carve her own path instead of following in her father’s footsteps as an actor. With a strong presence on social media, particularly Instagram, she keeps her followers engaged by sharing glimpses of her life through photos and videos. 

Despite staying away from the acting world, Ira manages to stay in the limelight due to her personal life.

Ira Khan travels in an auto-rickshaw

Recently, Ira Khan decided to forgo a luxurious car and opt for a fun auto-rickshaw ride in the bustling city of Mumbai. 

Accompanied by a friend, she was captured on camera by a paparazzo, who later shared the video on Instagram. 

Throughout the clip, Ira can be seen wearing a charming smile as she waves to the onlookers and expresses her gratitude with a heartfelt “Thank You.” Her casual attire consisted of a white and pink striped shirt layered over a grey top, paired effortlessly with olive shorts. She completed the look with a stylish pair of sunglasses.

Netizens have mixed reaction

The video quickly caught the attention of netizens, resulting in a flurry of reactions across social media platforms. Many fans praised Ira for her down-to-earth nature, describing her as the “one and only simple star kid” and showering her with clapping emojis. 

Others echoed the sentiment, referring to her as a genuinely sweet and unpretentious person. However, not everyone shared the same viewpoint. Some sceptics dismissed her auto-rickshaw ride as a mere publicity stunt, calling her the “talentless kid” of Bollywood and their alleged thirst for attention. A particularly disillusioned user claimed that such tactics were deployed when no one paid attention, suggesting a decline in the industry.

About Ira Khan

Earlier this month, Ira Khan celebrated her 25th birthday in a unique and personalized manner. She hosted a delightful Ted Lasso-themed party at her home, which was attended by her father Aamir Khan’s ex-wife Kiran Rao, her brother Azad, and her fiancé Nupur Shikhare.

The event also saw the presence of Aamir’s cousin Imran Khan and actress Mithila Palkar. Notably, Ira got engaged to Nupur Shikhare, a professional gym trainer, last year, further adding to the excitement surrounding her personal life.
