Juhi Chawla who joined the team of Epic channel's TV show Sharanam as a narrator, doesn't understand the pressure on women to “prove their equality.”
Chawla feels there is a lot of pressure on the girls on-screen today, and wonders if wearing shorter dresses and aiming for a “size-zero” frame is really an “expression of freedom.” The actress says a lot has changed for women in showbiz, but some aspects continue to remain the same.
Watergate — a limited series
Actors and filmmakers George Clooney and Grant Heslov, along with screenwriter-producer Matt Charman, are said to be working on a limited series that will explore the Watergate scandal that had forced then US President Richard Nixon out of office.
Charman, who co-wrote the screenplay for the Oscar-winning Steven Spielberg film Bridge of Spies, will serve as the writer on the eight-part limited series. It will delve into the stories of certain key figures in the infamous scandal.
The Watergate scandal erupted in June 1972 when five men were arrested for breaking into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate complex in Washington DC.
