Kangana clears the air on Simran
National Award-winning actress Kangana Ranaut, who was earlier slammed by writer Apurva Asrani for taking the co-writer credit in Simran, said, “I do not have anything to do with direction in Simran. I have acted in it and written it. If I had directed the film, I would have proudly said it but I have not done it.” The actor further added, “I should be able to communicate to my audience directly and cause some sort of impact, which will bring me closer to them. That's what I am planning to do when I take up direction. Big cities are money-oriented. I come from an extreme environment, a conservative background. I felt stifled and just wanted to be free.”.

Singer Nick Jonas, who revealed that his father Kevin Jonas Sr is cancer-free now, says he would love to be a father in the future. “My father just had a journey with colon cancer and he's cancer-free now, or on the tail end of it. All is good. Being here with him when he went in to have his tumour removed was a really special thing and really important,” Nick said. The singer added, “I had a lot of things on my schedule but I said, ‘I'm going to be here with you and walk through this with you and the family.’ And it was a moment of pride for all of us so to say.”
