‘Being in love helps onscreen’
It is a happy co-incidence that actor Ali Fazal has done his first full-fledged romantic film Milan Talkies right when his own love story with actress Richa Chadha unfolds.
Reluctantly Ali, who is currently looking at the second season of his successful digital series Mirzapur, admits that being in love does make celluloid love more interesting.
“I am sure it affects the way you look at love. How can it not? But more than my own feelings, I relied on my director Tigmanshu Dhulia to guide me through the conventions of love in Milan Talkies. He had never done a full-on love story. Neither had I.”
‘Wild Edens: South Asia will devote an entire episode to my native country of India. With this, millions of people will have the opportunity to see my country as an exotic mix of wild nature, rare animal life, unique wildlife sanctuaries and magnificent landscapes that are mesmerising and are also under the threat of dangers of climate change.’

Actress Janhvi Kapoor says her films are more important to her than earning fame as she has experienced fame since her childhood.
“Fame is important for every actor and whatever fame I have earned is all because of my family. I have been getting recognised more after my first film so, I am very grateful for love and support which I received from the media and the audience. I have experienced fame since my childhood so now my work, acting and films are more important to me than fame,” Janhvi said.
She is currently working on the untitled biopic of Gunjan Saxena, the Indian Air Force’s female combat pilot.
Kim helps rehouse an ex-prisoner
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has issued a plea on social media after her deal to rehouse a former prisoner fell through.
It was revealed that the beauty mogul had offered to cover Matthew Charles’ rent for the next five years, as he was struggling to find a place to live due to his criminal record.
Matthew was released in January after serving more than 20 years of his 35-year sentence for non-violent drug and weapons charges, following the implementation of the First Step Act, a US prison reform bill.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star reached out to him privately and made the generous offer in an effort to get him back on his feet following his release.
