‘Dangal a film to be proud of’
Aamir Khan's blockbuster Dangal, which has earned over Rs1,000 crore in China, has been described by a senior Chinese leader as a “great film” and an example of “cooperation among BRICS nations”.
In a meeting with a group of editors and journalists for the BRICS Media Forum, liu Yunshan, a member of the Communist Party's Politburo Standing Committee, said Dangal was one of the most “successful and influential” films shown in China in recent years.
“India and its media should be proud of what the film has achieved... It is a great example of cooperation among BRICS countries,” said liu, adding that “we media people should give greater coverage to this film.
Dangal was released in China as let's Wrestle, Dad.
Fatima Sana Shaikh who played the feisty daughter of Aamir Khan in Dangal, is in for some nasty brickbats on Instagram for posting a picture of herself in a monokini.
They are tastefully done pictures of Fatima lazing in a monokini on the beach. In fact, there are many who blamed her for raising temperatures which such photoshoots. But then there are also those who took offence to it majorly. In fact, they have asked her to abstain as Ramadan is on.
‘I don't take stardom seriously’
Actor Salman Khan says he lives his life in the present and does not take his celebrity status seriously.
Asked what he wants to achieve in life, Salman told the media: “I live my life moment to moment. If I can make this moment the best one, I know I will get something out of it.
“As an actor I'm doing my job. The persona you are seeing on screen is a contribution of more than 100 people from the different departments like camera, make-up and lights. How can I take that madness that you guys (media and common people) call stardom so seriouslyIJ I don't.”
