Juggling betwixt two worlds
Actress Shraddha Kapoor, who was shooting for two films —Haseena: The Queen of Mumbai and Half Girlfriend — says it was difficult for her to juggle between the two characters.
“Haseena (Dawood Ibrahim’s sister) and Riya Somani in Half Girlfriend are two very different characters. Since I was simultaneously working on both the films, it was definitely challenging in its own way to juggle back and forth from both the characters and to get in and out of two worlds,” Shraddha said in a statement. Based on Chetan Bhagat's novel Half Girlfriend, the film is directed by Mohit Suri.
‘It's just so crazy because I spent six years of my career being called things like ‘bag of milk' on the internet, you know ‘baby cow', ‘ageing cow.’ I just never felt self-conscious. Anyone who's going to take the time to say something negative about my weight on the internet wasn't someone I was particularly keen to impress anyway.’

Adele enjoys tour of Australia
Grammy-winning singer Adele broke records in every city she visited during her eight-concert tour in Australia. She sold as many as 600,000 tickets during her tour Down Under, which included the biggest single concert ever held on Australian soil in Sydney's ANZ stadium, where she performed in front of 100,000 people.
Tour promoter Michael Coppel said: “It's the highest-selling tour I've ever been involved with, which is quite remarkable after working with Pink, U2, Fleetwood Mac and Roger Waters.”
And Coppel suggested Adele's achievement may never be repeated again.
