Happy Birthday Anushka Sharma, the box office queen who keeps breaking stereotypes and setting new trends every now and then!

The Bollywood industry churns out a record number of films every year. A lot of leading actors and actresses feature in these films. But interestingly, only a select few actors out of these can be called crowd pullers. The unfortunate fact is that when it comes to actresses, the number is even less. Till the 90s and early 2000s, we had a lot of actresses whose presence added a lot to the film’s buzz. At present, we have a handful of heroines that fit in this category. And one such artist is Anushka Sharma, who turns 33 today. A conversation on present-day popular actresses of Bollywood is incomplete without her. She’s mentioned in the same breath as Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt.

Happy Birthday Anushka Sharma, the box office queen who keeps breaking stereotypes and setting new trends every now and then!

Only actress with 3 Rs. 300 crore grossers
And why not? She has worked in 19 films and her box office track record is praiseworthy. Three of her biggest hits were with a Khan each – Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (with Shah Rukh Khan), PK (with Aamir Khan) and Sultan (with Salman Khan). She is the only actress to have 3 films in the Rs. 300 crore club – PK, Sultan and Sanju. Her films like Band Baaja Baaraat, Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil were not huge box office grossers. But she was highly memorable in each of these films and it contributed significantly to her fan following. In fact, her performance in Band Baaja Baaraat is one of the most memorable performances by a female actor in a long time.

First to jump into production; Launchpad for talented newcomers
However, she is adored and respected not just for her box office success but also for many other factors. She emerged as a trendsetter multiple times. Today, many actresses have got into film production. But in 2014, she was the first among her contemporaries to do so. Her first production, NH10 (2015), was a gritty thriller and gave her a chance to do unconventional cinema. Last year, she received a lot of applause as she unveiled her first web series, Paatal Lok. The Amazon Prime original is easily one of the most watched Hindi shows of all time and it made Jaideep Ahlawat into an overnight sensation.

Which brings us to another USP of Anushka – she gives genuinely talented people a chance to shine. Paatal Lok was followed by the Netflix original film, Bulbbul, which was headlined by a relatively new actress, Tripti Dimri. Her upcoming OTT film, Qala, also features Tripti and serves as the debut vehicle of Irrfan Khan’s son Babil. She also launched new directors like Prosit Roy, Anshai Lal and Anvita Dutt.

A dummy’s guide on breaking stereotypes and on getting the paparazzi to toe the line
Later, when she tied the knot in 2017 with Virat Kohli, she was credited as the actor to commence the shaadi season in Bollywood. Sonam K Ahuja, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra Jonas soon followed suit, within a year. Just before 2020 ended, she began another trend as she proudly flaunted her baby bump for a magazine shoot. In times of troll, this picture got applause from most netizens and even amassed record likes.

Earlier this year, she gave birth to a baby girl, who was named Vamika. Till date, not a single picture of her is out and there’s a reason for that. 2 days after she gave birth, Anushka Sharma and hubby Virat Kohli sent out gifts to the paparazzi. The hamper carried a personalized note with a request that the pictures of their child should not be clicked. The photographers obviously were touched and promised to respect their privacy. This gesture left everyone amazed as nobody had ever tried this idea. Her pregnancy announcement tweet was adjudged by Twitter as the most liked post of 2020. This speaks volumes about her popularity and this also makes it clear that there must be a tremendous pressure on the photographers to share a glimpse of Vamika. But the fact that the power couple ensured that they don’t is truly commendable.

Anxiety and controversies
Deepika Padukone opening up about depression gave a huge boost to the mental health movement in India. However, just weeks before Deepika’s confession, Anushka had admitted that she suffers from anxiety and that her family has a history of depression. “I’m on medication for my anxiety. Why am I saying this? Because it’s a completely normal thing,” she said at a time when actors would shy away from speaking on such issues.

Anushka Sharma has however got into controversies from time to time but none of them affected her brand or image in any way. Credit goes to her as she dealt with it gracefully and in most cases, kept a dignified silence instead of hitting out at faceless, nameless trolls on the internet and thereby fanning the fire. That’s the reason why one thinks of Anushka, her controversies don’t come to mind instantly. The same can’t be said about other actors in her age bracket.

Wanted: Anushka’s comeback on the silver screen
Hence, it’s no wonder that she is today one of the topmost actresses, not just due to her on-screen performances but also for how she is off-screen. Her last film as an actor was Zero (2018), which released almost 2 ½ years back. It starred Shah Rukh Khan and fans have been eagerly waiting for his next film. However, we should not forget that just like SRK, even Anushka has been missing from celluloid for a long time. Of course, it’ll be difficult for her to face the arclights immediately as she has taken on the duty of being a mother. However, with Kareena Kapoor Khan making a comeback in films 1 ½ years after giving birth to Taimur, one can’t help but wish if Anushka can also follow Bebo's footsteps. But then, even before motherhood and marriage, she was choosy. So after marriage, maybe her acting ventures would be few and far between? Only time will tell. And anyway, when has she walked into anyone’s footsteps; she’s a trendsetter after all!

However, as an Anushka Sharma admirer and as someone who loves when heroines pull audiences pan-India to cinemas, I still wish that she comes across a script that blows her away and compels her to face the camera soon. Fingers crossed!

EXCLUSIVE: “There is a lot of gimmicky and less dancing that is happening”- Sandeepa Dhar on dance reality shows

India has a very vibrant dance and song culture. Over the years, the umpteen dance reality shows have helped boost talent from different parts of the country. However, these dance reality shows also have their own set of downsides. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, actor-dancer Sandeepa Dhar shared her views on dance reality shows and what she feels needs to be changed. The actress has been dancing ever since she was toddler and is also a trained Bharatanatyam dancer.

EXCLUSIVE: “There is a lot of gimmicky and less dancing that is happening”- Sandeepa Dhar on dance reality shows

When asked if dance reality shows have helped boost the dance culture in India, Sandeepa said, “I definitely feel that dance reality shows have boosted the dance culture in India for sure. In India we still don't think of dance as a career option. But for sure the dance reality shows have also helped in bringing a lot more dance forms to the forefront. It's also giving an opportunity to someone sitting in a small town but who has a lot of talent. It has given them the opportunity and a platform to showcase that talent. I think that's great because now you have people from smaller towns and they are making a name for themselves. It shows India has so much talent; we just need to scout it correctly. A lot of people who win these dance reality shows are doing films, doing stage shows, award functions. I think that has happened only because of these reality shows.”

Further when asked if she would ever  consider participating in a reality dance show, the actress said, “Off course, if there is something like ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ in India, then I would definitely like to participate. What does need to change in dance reality shows is that there is a lot of gimmicky and there is less dancing that is happening. People are relying on acrobatics and the wow factors in order to win these reality shows. But dance at the end of the day is about dance. It is not much about whether you can do an aerial act or if you can do a flip or a jump or a lift. Proper dancing has got diluted because of these reality shows. I think that we need to correct.”

Sandeepa also shared her take on item numbers in films. There has been a moral debate around it for the past couple of years. Sharing her thoughts on it, Sandeepa said, “I dislike the term item numbers. I think it is degrading because why call it item number. Who is the item in this? Is the woman the item in it. I am not too sure why they are called item numbers. I would just call it a song or special song.”

“I feel like I have always shied away from doing these songs because most of these songs sexualise women too much and they don't show women in a more empowering light. It's always very sexualised which I have a problem with. I did a song for Kaagaz, only because it did not sexualise the woman and the lyrics of the song were talking about the beauty of the man as opposed to talking about a woman and her body. For me all of these things are very important. I want everything to be aesthetically correct. And as a woman, as someone who is out there and has a following, I also feel it's my responsibility to put out ideas of a strong woman out there and not as just being someone who is something that you would sexualise. I have a problem with that for sure,” she added.

BTS' RM reunites with Korean musician eAeon on heart-wrenching track 'Don't' from the album 'Fragile'

Grammy-nominated South Korean group BTS' leader RM has reunited with Korean singer-songwriter eAeon on a beautiful track 'Don't' from his studio album 'Fragile' that released on April 30, 2021.

BTS' RM reunites with Korean musician eAeon on heart-wrenching track 'Don't' from the album 'Fragile'

The music video showcases the couple in love, sharing happy memories, but there comes a time when they slowly drift apart. Along with the separation comes pain and loneliness. "Don’t leave / So much would collapse / Don’t destroy us / It’ll break you too Don’t, don’t leave / Don’t throw away our everything Please, don’t," eAeon croons about not wanting to separate from his partner.

The song focuses on the sentiment that even if the pair grows apart, the hope is that his partner doesn't erase everything about him. The sentiment here is not to erase the love that they had and the person his partner knew and let everything fade away gradually as they move on. The yearning for the loved one to stay as RM's words hit hard as he compares the colours of waves to that of a relationship - how it was before and after they parted ways. He uses nature to depict the fragility of the relationships, uses direction and seasons as a metaphor to describe how life changes and talks about the moon which brings comfort and light. "What color are waves / White as snow when they break / Did you survive the drift / You can’t stay here in my cobblestone house / Turn on the moon / Don't leave my little chimney / Don't take away the name only you know / I don't need magic / I hate any wildflowers / Don't be new / Just be here / Stay here, don't go."

The R&B/ Soul track is penned and composed by eAeon and RM. The lyrics are heart-wrenching and powerful from eAeon and RM who journal their loss, sadness. eAeon's soothing voice blended with RM's husky vocals makes this soothing collaboration. Previously, RM and eAeon worked together on the track 'Badbye' in 2018 for RM's mixtape 'mono'.  The 11-track album is now out.

Days after the release of the song, the makers shared the making video of the song where the actors are seen doing impromptu dance moves while shooting the song. In the BTS video, one can see Salman and Disha going through rigorous processes to get the steps right. Salman who was his candid best while filming said that Seeti Maar is a well picturised song with a lot of hook-steps. “That’s all Prabhu Dheva,” the actor exclaimed.

Prabhu Dheva, the dancing legend, says that he wanted Salman and Disha to dance, and that's what he made them do. He also adds how Salman gets into the dance track's character and performs whatever is expected from him to the fullest and how the song and its filming supplement the Salman persona. Prabhu Dheva also reveals that lifting Disha like a dumbbell was Salman’s idea and that they went ahead with it.

The dance track has been composed by Devi Sri Prasad. Shaikh Jani Basha, also known as 'Jani Master', is the choreographer. Iulia Vantur and Kamaal Khan are the vocalists and have done quite a remarkable job with it.

4 Times when Rishi Kapoor played villain

Rishi Kapoor always grumbled about not getting to do black or grey. “Why are they always casting me as a bhala insaan? There is dark side to every human, me also. I’m dying to explore that,” he once told me. It isn’t as if he never got to play negative roles . He did. Take a look at these.

4 Times when Rishi Kapoor played villain

1. Zehreela Insaan (1973): Right after his star launch in Bobby, Rishi wanted to play a diametrically opposite character. While Raja in Bobbywas pure-hearted, simple kind and generous Arjun in Zehreela Insaan was ill-tempered, foul-tongued, brutish and unpredictable. The only one who could control him was his Masterji, played by Pran (who had played his tyrannical father in Bobbyjust months earlier). In a fit of rage Arjun kills his beloved Masterji and then jumps to his death with his girlfriend Margaret (Neetu Singh). No wonder, Zehreela Insaan flopped miserably. It was a remake of the Kannnada hit Naagarhaaavu. R D Burman even adapted one of the songs from the original Haavina dwesha into the Hindi remake as Saanp se badkar mera zehar hai, sung in Rishi’s Bobby voice Shailendra Singh. But the song from Zehreela Insaan remembered to this day is ‘Oh Hanseeni’ by Kishore Kumar. Rishi quite liked himself in this film. Considering how self-critical he was, that was a big thing.

2. Khoj (1989): The one time when Rishi Kapoor did a whodunit, he turned out to be the killer! And boy, did Rishi enjoy the change of image!! Brazenly inspired by Michael Anderson’s Chase A Crooked Shadow Khojfeatured Kimi Katkar as Rishi’s wife who goes missing during their honeymoon. All of inspector Naseeruddin Shah’s investigation leads to Rishi Kapoor. Recalling the thrill of playing a murderer Rishi Kapoor had said, “Director Keshu Ramsay had probably chosen me because of my innocent face and my goody-goody lover boy’s image. Who would think I’m a killer?”

3. Agneepath (2011): Rishi Kapoor shocked the world by playing a butcher who indulges in the trafficking of minor girls. He was supremely happy with his role. “My character was not there in the original Agneepath I am an actor. It was a challenge to play such a repugnant character. I convinced myself into doing the film. My wife also encouraged me to do the role. I am very proud to have played such a terrible villain. This is one role that I was really scared of playing. All the credit for seeing me in that role must go to producer Karan Johar and director Karan Malhotra. Hats off to their foresight. And then Karan Johar cast me in radically different role in Student Of The Year,” said Rishi to me

4. D Day (2013): Rishi Kapoor as a Dawood doppelganger had a whole lot of fun with this evil character. “I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed myself so much,” he told me after completing the film. Speaking of casting Rishi Kapoor as Dawood director Nikkil Advani says, “It was a daring move, considering Rishi Kapoor had a romantic image all his career. But he did play the dark and sinister Rauf Lala in Dharma Productions’ Agneepath. That was my cue for signing him to play the crime lord in D Day, and boy, was I right in my decision!” As Dawood…sorry, Iqbal Seth, Rishi Kapoor was an asset to the film. “He brought a childlike quality to the crime lord’s role. It wasn’t the first time that Rishiji had played a negative character. But it was certainly the first time that an international crime lord was played with a mix of hard-core stealth and naïve glee,” says Nikkil.
