Rani Mukerji reveals she fought hydrophobia for ?Mardaani 2?

Rani Mukerji reveals that she fought hydrophobia for ‘Mardaani 2’Rani Mukerji recently revealed that she fought against hydrophobia as she did underwater action for her upcoming film  Mardaani 2.The Bombay Talkies  actress shared that she always had hydrophobia that kept her away for doing any scene underwater.  "There was a scene in the film that required me to do an underwater action sequence. When I heard it for the first time during the script narration from Gopi I was quite disturbed because honestly, I have fear of water as I actually do not know how to swim. From childhood, I have the fear of getting into the pool."She added, "All my life I have tried several times to be able to get myself to swim but unfortunately, I have not been successful. The first thing I asked Gopi after the narration got over is how important is the underwater sequence, is it very imperative for the film or whether we can do without it. To my utter shock, Gopi said that it cannot be changed and he would like to shoot the sequence underwater and he would prefer not changing it,” Pinkvilla reported.  Talking about the hardships she endured practicing swimming, Rani said, “I realized that it was going to be a huge challenge for me going forward with the film to do this particular underwater sequence. Doing an underwater shot is still ok if they are just beauty shots as one can still manage it however doing action underwater gets very challenging. I spoke to Gopi and gradually told him that unfortunately, his lead actor does not know to swim and he was utterly shocked. He was then in a dilemma of how this sequence is ever going to take place. I requested Gopi to keep the underwater sequence as the last thing that we will shoot for the film so I could get time to practice swimming and also try to get rid of my fear." Mardaani 2    is the sequel to 2014 drama-action film. The film will be released on December 13.

Thanksgiving recap + Black Friday steals

 Hi friends! Happy Friday! I hope that those of you who celebrated yesterday had a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Ours was filled with family, lots of amazing food, and time outdoors. Not much more you could wish for. (Ok, just one thing: that the Pilot could have been here, but alas he was doing that work thing.)

The day started off bright and early (a little too early). I made breakfast burritos for the girls and they watched a show while I caught a quick Peloton ride. After spinning, I put Nana’s egg casserole in the oven (the best!) and we got ready to head to Kyle and Meg’s for breakfast.

At their house, we drank coffee, ate breakfast, watched the parade, and looked at the Black Friday sales fliers. It was such a fun and relaxing start to the day.

Liv w aug

We came back home, and I put the finishing touches on Ina’s roasted maple carrot salad. (I made the dressing and did the first roast of the carrots the night before. This way they only needed to roast one more time with the maple syrup for about 15 minutes. I also started soaking the cranberries that morning since I knew we’d be gone most of the day.) Instead of goat cheese, I used this nut cheese from Whole Foods and it was AWESOME. It was a little tangy and paired perfectly with the remaining ingredients. (The salad was totally gone by the end of the night, so I don’t think anyone minded a lil cashew cheese.)

Cheese

We packed up everything and headed to my Uncle’s house for Thanksgiving dinner with my dad’s side of the family. It was SO much fun watching all of the cousins run around. They’re all getting to the ages where they just want to play, all day long, and it’s a blast watching them together.

Plate #1:

Tgiving plate

(We have a family member who is Celiac, so there were a ton of gluten-free options at dinner including stuffing, gravy, and two types of pie. I’ve been avoiding gluten and dairy for the most part because of the dang gallbladder situation but was going to eat whatever because Thanksgiving. I ended up eating gluten-free all day, maybe had a small amount of dairy, and my stomach didn’t hurt at all, which was very much appreciated.)

So thankful for this little crew right here. <3

No industry for women: Bollywood #MeToo accused back at work

MUMBAI: A year after Bollywood followed Hollywood by naming male predators accused of sexual harassment, many women say they have suffered while alleged perpetrators are back in the limelight.In the US, #MeToo triggered the downfall of powerbrokers including Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, and Brett Ratner. Victims were hailed as trailblazers for speaking out, and millions of dollars were raised to support their cases.In Bollywood, women have faced a backlash, campaigners say.When singer Sona Mohapatra accused composer Anu Malik of sexual misconduct she was told to vacate her judge´s seat on TV talent show, "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa"."I was marked as a troublemaker and asked to leave. Overnight," Mohapatra said last month. Programme producers Zee TV denied her claims, telling AFP her departure had "no connection" with #MeToo.The maelstrom forced Malik, who also had a molestation case filed against him in the 1990s, to stand down last year as a judge on the Sony TV show "Indian Idol".He was later reinstated. But after campaigners fought back, Malik, who has dismissed the allegations as "false and unverified", announced his departure for a second time last week.It was a rare victory for #MeToo in Bollywood, where many high-flyers accused of harassment and even rape have revived their careers after lying low for a few months.Director Vikas Bahl, whose name was initially removed from the credits of the hit movie "Super 30" following a sexual misconduct complaint, was reinstated after being cleared by an internal committee, which reportedly did not involve the victim.Filmmaker Subhash Kapoor, on trial for molestation, was initially dropped from a movie produced by Aamir Khan, one of Bollywood´s most-feted actors. But the superstar backtracked, saying only a court could establish whether or not he is guilty -- a process likely to take years in India´s overburdened legal system.Veteran actor Alok Nath, under investigation for rape, has sued the complainant for defamation. His film "Main Bhi" ("Me Too"), in which he plays a judge overseeing sexual harassment cases, is awaiting release.- ´Rehab without remorse´ -"I imagine the advice many of the men got was ´just go underground for a year and people will forget´," said singer Shweta Pandit, who was 15 when composer Malik, then 40, allegedly asked her to kiss him in exchange for work.A classically-trained vocalist, Pandit told AFP the 2001 incident made her "shut down" and become a recluse."I stopped trusting people," she said, tearing up. "Singing was the only way I could express myself."She never discussed the incident until the #MeToo campaign jolted her into speaking out last year.Since then, she has faced online trolling and a backlash."Some men are like, ´if we hire her, then she might say something, better be careful.´ For some people, the moment a woman speaks, she is trouble," she said."Many well-wishers had warned me against saying anything but I have to stand my ground."Anusha Khan, a consultant who conducts workshops against sexual harassment in the entertainment industry, told AFP: "Bollywood is still grappling with the fact that this problem exists.""The protection system for predators is very strong."As a result, many accused men have resurrected their careers with relative ease, she said."It´s rehab without remorse."- ´Not backing down´ -Even the case credited with kickstarting India´s #MeToo movement has hit roadblocks.Actress Tanushree Dutta first accused Bollywood star Nana Patekar of touching her inappropriately while filming a song in 2008, when she was 24 and he was 57.At least two people -- a journalist and an assistant director -- have publicly corroborated her version of events.The incident effectively ended her career, the former Miss India told AFP. Police refused even to register her harassment complaint."I lost friends, I lost work, I went through periods of depression."When your work is taken away from you, you feel like you have no reason to wake up sometimes," she said.Dutta repeated the claims in an interview a decade later, triggering an outpouring by women across India.Police agreed to accept her 2008 complaint but closed the case in June, citing insufficient evidence.Dutta accused them of deliberately botching the investigation.Patekar, who has repeatedly denied the allegations, did not answer AFP interview requests.For Dutta, who plans to appeal the police decision, #MeToo is only a beginning."I never set out to be a revolutionary," she said."But they already destroyed my career so what have I got to lose? I am not backing down."

Shah Rukh Khan's daughter Suhana Khan shows off her new adorable curls

Suhana Khan’s latest pictures on Instagram have brought her into the limelight again, and actually for good reasons, making fans swooning over her. The pictures flaunt Suhana’s new shapely gorgeous curls and minimal make-up, but it’s the ‘eyes’ that are making the fans fall in love with her. Of the two pictures, the first one shows the beauty in very little make-up, donning a blue shirt. The second one features her in a slightly different top, with the same hairdo and lusciously attractive eyes, and trust us, both are equally beautiful! Suhanna has garnered much attention after her short film was released on YouTube earlier this month. ‘The Grey Part of Blue has received more than 1.1 million views and 10,000 likes. But a Bollywood debut by Suhanna is something far-fetched now since she has enrolled in film school at New York University.

Sindh’s quick, cheap and ludicrous tribal courts making a mockery of justice

The recent tussle between the judiciary and the government has reignited the debate over two distinct systems of justice for the eminent and the poor. In his book the Animal Farm, George Orwell writes,  “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others,” wrote George Orwell. That would seem to be somewhat true in light of the recent decisions regarding Nawaz Sharif and Pervez Musharaf. Nevertheless, there is another oft-forgotten system of justice that runs parallel to the mainstream court system: the tribal elders’ council of justice. However, this alternative mechanism only comes to the fore when ...
