Short message
Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao
After Dhobi Ghat (2011), Kiran Rao has wielded the directorial baton again for two short films for Facebook's mobile storytelling initiative. The films take on gender inequality and domestic violence. Proud husband Aamir Khan posted, "I didn't know it was even possible to tell a story in 10 seconds. She has shown me how (sic)."
Rainy celebration
Arvind Swami and Aditi Rao Hydari
Yesterday, Arvind Swami celebrated his 49th birthday. Aditi Rao Hydari, who shared screen space with him in Mani Ratnam's Chekka Chivantha Vaanam (2018), shared a still from their Tamil film. She wrote, "While all the girls sent me envious messages...happy birthday eternal heartthrob (sic)." Swami enjoys a huge female fan base, Hydari wanted to make them jealous.
On the set
On the sets of Khatra Khatra Khatra
Karanvir Bohra, Tony Kakkar, Priya Banerjee, Shraddha Arya, Aditya Narayan, Aditya Narayan, Bharti Singh, Harsh Limbachiyaa and Reema Shaikh are a happy bunch on the set of the sketch comedy, Khatra Khatra Khatra. Bohra and Banerjee were promoting their film, Hume Tumse Pyaar Kitna, on the show.
Tina Philip: Atharv aka Aarush is a sweetheart
Tina Philip is loving her time on the sets of Dipti Kalwani's Ek Bhram - Sarvagun Sampanna with her little co-star Atharv Johnny Sharma. Talking about working with him, she says, "It's fantastic! I learn a lot from him every day. Like how to be happy for no reason. To fight tirelessly for something you really want and to always be curious. Atharv aka Aarush is a sweetheart. I've never seen a kid as caring as him. He makes sure we eat from his tiffin and then generously shares his chocolates after lunch. We play games during breaks and I teach him maths sometimes since we both love maths," she says.
Ask her if it's tough to work with a child artist, and she says, "I think that depends. With Atharv, he comes prepared on the set and always knows his lines. When he makes a mistake, he himself very cutely says 'cut cut' instead of the director. The best bit about child actors is that their reactions are not rehearsed. They are so honest. It's an absolute pleasure to work with him."
