2 Years Of Sonchiriya: "Sushant Singh Rajput was a true blue gem of a person and a restless actor" - says Bhumi Pednekar

For Bhumi Pednekar, Abhishek Chaubey’s Sonchiriya will always be a project that taught her valuable lessons as an artiste! On the second release anniversary of the film, Bhumi says, “Sonchiriya will always be a special film in my filmography because it taught me a very valuable lesson. It told me to dream, to explore, and to take bigger risks as an artiste with every film. Abhishek Chaubey opened my eyes to what I could achieve if I trusted myself and pushed myself to the edge of the cliff. I thank him for his faith in me as a performer.”

2 Years Of Sonchiriya: "Sushant Singh Rajput was a true blue gem of a person and a restless actor" - says Bhumi Pednekar

Bhumi is humbled with the love and respect she got as a performer for Sonchiriya. She says, “A film like Sonchiriya is rare, it comes maybe once in a lifetime for an artiste and I’m fortunate that I got to do this project. Abhishek Chaubey’s vision with this film was so unique and original that it literally blew my mind. The love and respect that I have got from people across the world for this project is truly humbling.”

The actress says she is also thankful that she got to collaborate with an actor like the late Sushant Singh Rajput and also all the outstanding performers in Sonchiriya. “Also, I got to meet and work with a creative mind like Sushant Singh Rajput due to the film. He was a true blue gem of a person and a restless actor. I had the best time exchanging notes with him. Sonchiriya gave me the chance to work with a brilliant cast and people I admired deeply. It’s an experience I’ll deeply cherish more because of the collaboration I had with Sushant and Khushiya, the little girl who played Sonchiriya. Khushiya has become a part of my life forever.“

Bhumi says Sushant was a ‘rare mind’ in Bollywood. She says, “Sushant became a friend and someone I admired very fast. He was a true blue gem of a person and an actor with a restless mind. We really had the best time on set. His rare mind with brilliant ideas kept me very intrigued through our Sonchiriya experience.”

EXCLUSIVE: Parineeti Chopra on Saina Nehwal biopic - "It was the most immerse process I've ever been a part of"

Parineeti Chopra is gearing up for not one but three releases this year. The actress' psychological murder mystery premiered on Netflix on February 26. Now, she has two releases in the month of March starting with Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar followed by Saina Nehwal's biopic titled Saina, helmed by Amole Gupte.

EXCLUSIVE: Parineeti Chopra on Saina Nehwal biopic - "It was the most immerse process I've ever been a part of"

Answering some fan questions during a chat with Bollywood Hungama, Parineeti Chopra said, "That was the most immersive process I've ever been a part of. You can't make up anything since you are playing real characters, you have to do everything authentically. The way I hold a racket, the way I play a particular shot - I could play it in my style but that's not allowed because you have to play like the other entity. That is why I spent so much time with Saina herself, tried to emulate her, made videos of her. I used to watch her matches, read everything, watch her interviews. I used to see how she talks and I tried to emulate that in the film."

Speaking of the release of the film, she added, "Release [of the film], we don't know yet. I am sure we will announce it soon."

Though she did not confirm the date, reports state that Saina is set to release on March 26.

HIT AND MISSES OF THE WEEK: Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Rakul Preet Singh opt for cosycore fashion; Parineeti Chopra, Sunny Leone leave us unimpressed

It is the last day of the week and the fashion police is back. This week saw multiple actresses acing the comfort looks instead of opting for full glam. We saw multiple fails too.

HITS OF THE WEEK

DEEPIKA PADUKONE

Deepika Padukone looked gorgeous in her casual outfit. She stepped out looking chic donning a tie-dye floof shirt from Kanika Goyal label worth Rs. 12,500 with a white crop top. She teamed this look with distressed black wide leg shredded straight fit denims and black pointy pumps. She accessorized the look with a silver chunky chain and a red crossbody bag from YSL. She kept her makeup simple with soft messy waves. She looked absolutely gorgeous and we love this casual look!

ALIA BHATT

Alia was spotted entering Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s home for his birthday bash and looked like a vision in white. She was wearing a white one-shoulder top with a tie-up ribbon at the waist. She styled the outfit with white wide-leg pants making a statement that style and comfort go hand-in-hand. She was all about cosycore but made it chic. She paired the outfit with neon green heels and wore a black mask with her initials. She kept her makeup simple and dewy with soft waves. She styled her hair in a middle partition with a ponytail.

JANHVI KAPOOR

Janhvi Kapoor was seen donning a denim stitch co-ord set for latest airport spotting from Dhruv Kapoor’s collection worth Rs. 28,000. It was the perfect pick for fashionistas that choose comfort above everything.  She looked uber cool in the fuss-free denim look and we can't wait to recreate it!

ANANYA PANDAY

Ananya Panday loves her oversized clothing and we are obsessed with the trend. She spotted at the airport leaving for Liger schedule in Goa, dressed in a teal oversized sweatshirt dress. She wore a Palm Angels sweatshirt with a cute little teddy bear worth $657 (Rs. 48,685 approx). She styled the comfy look with chunky pink and white sneakers and carried a Christian Dior book tote bag, This Christian Dior tote is a favourite amongst all the Bollywood celebs and it costs around $3500 which converts to approximately Rs.2.59 lakhs.

RAKUL PREET SINGH

Rakul Preet Singh was spotted dressed in a white spaghetti top with two-toned denim pants. She styled her hair in a low bun and kept her accessories to a bare minimum with stacked up chains. She also wore a golden multi-strand necklace. She completed her look with white sneakers and a sling bag.

MALAIKA ARORA

Known to be fashion forward, the actress flaunted her fit body in a white crop top and teamed it up with army print jacket and cargo pants when she visited Kareena Kapoor Khan earlier this week to see the newborn baby boy. Shiny heels and a sling rounded her look.

MISSES OF THE WEEK

PARINEETI CHOPRA

Parineeti Chopra was promoting The Girl On The Train but failed to impress in the beige co-ord set. The silhouette wasn't very flattering. Parineeti has impressed us with all her fashion looks earlier this week for her movie promotions, this one failed to hit the right spot.

SUNNY LEONE

Sunny stepped out in a teal tee and printed midi skirt but the combination wasn’t flattering enough. This one was a big no for us.

Let us know your favourite looks for this week!

Sanjay Gupta, who has helmed the gangster drama, says, “I was in Khandala when I heard it for the first time; I played it on full volume. The song blew my mind.

BTS facing racist remarks once again sparks conversation about hate speech towards Asians

More than a year into the COVID -19 pandemic, Asians are still facing racist remarks, violent attacks, and trolling! In 2021, Asian-Americans are being attacked as multiple organizations, celebrities, activists are standing in solidarity with the Asian community and condemning the horrific attacks. Then comes the incident with global popstars BTS, known for spreading love, cheer, and positivity through their words and music, who have been on the receiving end of racist remarks.

BTS facing racist remarks once again sparks conversation about hate speech towards Asians

It all began earlier this week when a fan account translated the words of a German radio host Matthias Matuschik, of the radio station Bayern3, who made racist remarks against the group after BTS' MTV Unplugged episode aired in which they did a cover of Coldplay's 'Fix You'. The veteran band not only appreciated the South Korean band's efforts, but they also posted the video links on all of their platforms. They wrote '아름다운' which means 'beautiful' in Korean, and mentioned the initials of the band members 'Love c, g, w & j'.

Presenting on his show, Matuschik said, “These p*****s bragged about covering 'Fix You' from Coldplay. This is sacrilege! They should be sent to North Korea for the next 20 years! … You can’t accuse me of xenophobia just because of this boy band. I have a car from South Korea.”

Teen Vogue was quick to fact-check that the radio host has a Japanese car brand. Amid backlash, not only did the radio host but also the station released statements that have only gaslighted the BTS ARMY and the Asian community. Stating it as an "opinion", the radio station's statement said that the host was talking about BTS in "an ironic, exaggerated way and with exaggerated excitement." Furthermore, it read, “He just wanted to express his displeasure over the aforementioned cover version. That does not change the fact that many of you found his statements to be hurtful or racist. We apologize for this in every way possible."

While this was the bare minimum apology, Matthias Matuschik spoke to Buzzfeed Germany further gaslighting and stated he would have been equally mad if “German or Trans-Castanian band” had covered Coldplay song. Addressing the huge fandom of BTS as “fanatical followers of a musical cash machine", this further gaslighted the fandom confirming that the host wasn't apologetic of his words and the radio station was just trying to save their face.

This has once against sparked the conversation about racism against Asians, which was always prevalent but saw a huge rise amid the COVID-19 pandemic. When BTS was promoting 'Map Of The Soul: 7' last year before their lives came to a standstill just like everyone else's around the world, they faced racism on Howard Stern's show. Recalling the incident in the Weverse magazine in September 2020 after the 'Dynamite's' explosion globally, Howard Stern, the host of The Howard Stern Show of the SiriusXM staple, talked about coronavirus and BTS' visit on the show on February 21. He mentioned how their writer Sal Governale made racist remarks against the group by saying, “There’s no way those guys don’t have the coronavirus.” Howard Stern accused him of being racist and producer Gary Dell’Abate further added, “Every celebrity who walks through the SiriusXM door is traveling all over the world — not just Asians.”

There are multiple incidents when BTS members have felt alienated while facing xenophobia and racism and less acceptance. "Since we’re aliens to the music industry for America we don’t know if there’s a place for us or not. The Grammys aren’t as the Hot 100 it's not numbers we don’t know what is going on,” - said RM, leader of the globally famous band BTS, in 2020 during an interview with Reuters. This was right after their English single 'Dynamite'  broke multiple records and debuted at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 chart. But, there's a sense of complete self-awareness about the fact that even though they are shattering records and breaking barriers globally, they are still considered outsiders as RM termed as 'alien' in the US music industry.

At the peak of the Black Lives Matter movement last year amid the death of George Floyd, BTS stepped up to make a donation of $1 million as BTS ARMY matched their donation for the important movement and raised $1 million in the next 24 hours! Not only did they stood with their Black fans, but also with the whole community. "When we’re abroad or in other situations, we’ve also been subjected to prejudice. We feel that prejudice should not be tolerated; it really has no place. We started to discuss what we could do to help, whether it was a donation or something else. That’s where the conversation began — just trying to see what we could do to try to alleviate this prejudice," Jin told Variety last year. BTS was appreciated by the community for standing with them.

Since Matthias Matuschik remarks, multiple hashtags including #RacismBayern3. #RassismusBeiBayern3, #RacismIsNotAnOpinion have been trending on Twitter. BTS' collaborators - Lauv ('Who', 'Make It Right'), Halsey ('Boy With Luv', 'Suga's Interlude'), and MAX ('Blueberry Eyes', 'Burn It') have spoken up and stand in solidarity with BTS.

MAX wrote on Twitter, “BTS is one of the hardest-working and most humble groups in the industry. They deserve all the success they’ve earned. Hearing such hateful words used against them by the radio host at Bayern 3 made me sick. The hate to them and the Asian community as a whole is unacceptable.”

“Standing by my BTS brothers and everyone continuously affected by racist remarks as hurtful as what we heard on Bayern 3. No one should have to endure this and together we must stand up and stop it,” Lauv said in his tweet.

Halsey took to her Instagram story to say, “I am horrified by the comments made by Matthias Matuschik. Racism and xenophobia cannot be thinly veiled as ‘on air humor.’ Irresponsible and disgusting statements in a time where hate speech and violent behavior towards Asian communities are skyrocketing. This is unacceptable. I hope a better apology to BTS, and the Asian communities across the world, is on its way.”

Columbia Records, BTS's U.S. distributor, released a statement amid the rise of anti-Asian racism in the country.

Pachinko author Min Jin Lee pointed out, "A German radio presenter equating the South Korean band BTS with Covid-19, a virus which has killed 2.5M+ & devastated the lives of hundreds of millions, reflects the *age-old* anti-Asian sentiment called “yellow peril.” Anti-Asian racism is a global, historic & systemic issue."

Since the backlash, the radio station and the German host have released another set of apologies. "I am deeply saddened about the reactions my comments in my live show have caused - and first of all: I am very sorry and I would like to unreservedly apologize," says in his statement. "In my presentation, I was primarily annoyed by the fact that the boy band BTS covered the song "Fix you" by Coldplay, which I hold in high esteem. The nationality of the seven boys should not matter - mentioning it and making the connection with a virus was completely out of line."

"I have given this a lot of thought over the past few hours and understand and accept that my words racially offended many of you, especially the Asian community. That was never my intention, but I realize that, in the end, what matters is only how words are perceived - not how they were intended," he added. "People who have known me for a while know that, in addition to my work as a radio DJ and cabaret artist, I have also been very active against right-wing activities and for those seeking protection since the influx of refugees in 2015. It makes me all the sadder that I have hurt others with an ill-considered statement (that was intended to be funny) and put myself in a false light. I have made a big mistake from which I will learn. I am very sorry."

Bayern3 added in their second statement, "We apologize unreservedly for the remarks made by presenter Matthias Matuschik in his live broadcast. His choice of words to comment on BTS were unacceptable. Both he himself and we at BAYERN 3 know that it is not enough to simply intend a different meaning. If statements are perceived by many people as offensive or racist, then they were."

Adding that he is someone who stands against racial prejudice, the statement read, "However, we feel the need to stress that Matthias' social engagement to promote a peaceful togetherness among people (in Bavaria) is testament to his conviction that everyone must be treated equally - regardless of their nationality, culture, skin color, sexual orientation or religion. BAYERN 3 also expressly and resolutely distances itself from any form of racism, exclusion and discrimination. In the meantime, the presenter and his family receive serious threats. We ask, despite every sympathy for the indignation, that the discussion must remain on a substantive level. We will work through the issue in more detail with Matthias and the entire team and ensure that such serious mistakes will not happen again in the future."

Will BTS respond? We don't know yet. They have often used their platform, music, and philanthropy to speak which are louder than words. When there's an epidemic against Asians, words like these do more damage. When one terms racist remarks as "opinion' and 'jokes', they are fuelling hatred. When you are a public figure in any capacity, a lot of responsibility rides on the fact that "words matter". BTS' fandom has people of all races, caste, gender, and religion. They have often been a strong force to reckon with whenever unnecessary criticism and hate speech have come BTS' way. Can you believe this all started with a song cover? It is alright to not like a certain genre, certain artists but resorting to hate speech is not only disgraceful, it should always be condemned. Racism is not an opinion!
