‘It’s interesting to play a Pakistani’
After finding global visibility with The lunchbox, Indian actress Nimrat Kaur has landed a chance to play a Pakistani character in the fourth season of hit American series Homeland, set in Islamabad. The Punjabi girl, who has roots in Rawalpindi and lahore, finds the opportunity “very interesting.” The actress is currently in Cape Town for a shooting schedule of the Emmy Award-winning political thriller series. She is loving every bit of it — especially since her role of Tasneem Kureshi, a high-level operative within Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency, has been increased from five to nine episodes. “It is interesting (to play a Pakistani character in a US show). India and Pakistan are culturally similar...I belong to Punjab and there's so much similarity between us. I'd just say it's a country which is a victim of circumstances,” she said.
I would want to venture into another Bengali film. I am quite open to the idea. I am open to trying different things — be it commercial or offbeat. I love films which give me a chance to perform

Toy manufacturer Mattel has teamed up with US labels lord and Taylor, Wildfox and Forever 21, to recreate the doll's wardrobe, for their ready-to-wear collections. “I think what people pay attention to is Barbie the toy, and what we're trying to focus on is that Barbie is a brand much bigger than an 11-inch fashion doll,” said Mattel's senior vice president and manager, Jessica Dunne.
Is Selena dating Bieber againIJ
There's happiness once again in singer Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez’ love paradise, if reports are anything to go by. The on-again, off-again couple first started dating in 2010 and most recently split last month. However, they are said to have appeared “very close” after arriving separately for a Bible study class at a church here earlier this week. “Justin looked really comfortable with Selena as he still thinks their bond is unbreakable and knows that Selena will always love him,” a source told Britain's newspaper. “The pair sat next to each other while partaking in Bible study. They left together in Bieber's car,” the source added. The Baby singer also shared a blurry photograph of the Come and Get It hitmaker, kissing his cheek as he holds her in his arms on Instagram.
