‘It was the toughest shoot’
Shabana Azmi who plays Amma in Zee TV’s weekend show, for a particular sequence ended up shooting for 8 hours without food and water. Azmi was soaked in sweat and was starving, but that did not deter the actor. She said, “Yes, it was one of the most difficult sequences to shoot till date. The place where the sequence was filmed was on the third floor, with no ventilation. It was so hot that I had to use a hand fan, but it gave no relief either. Whatever the condition was, the entire scene came out really well.” Other actors too followed her footsteps and didn’t move till the entire shoot was wrapped.

Tom Cruise has credited his success to Scientology because his whole life improved after he joined the organisation. The actor is convinced he would not be where he is today if he had not taken up the beautiful religion — a body of beliefs and practices created in 1954 by American science fiction author l. Ron Hubbard — three decades ago.
‘Fiction fan art is unnerving for me’
Zayn Malik found reading One Direction fan fiction to be unnerving, but says he enjoys fan art.
The singer left the boy band in March 2015, and has said that while he has read some fan fiction — in which the followers of the group write stories about the members, often in sexual situations — it wasn't something that appealed to him.
In his upcoming autobiography ‘Zayn’, he said, “When I was still in One Direction, fans would write stories based on me and the other lads and publish them online. I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty unnerving reading things about yourself as a character from somebody else's imagination.”
The singer also added, “I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty unnerving reading things about yourself as a character from somebody else's imagination. It's crazy to think that we inspired so many different stories.”
