It is just the beginning: Alia
Actress Alia Bhatt, who will be next seen in Kalank, believes that commercial films are truly dependent on its story.
“If you see films like Raazi, Stree and Badhaai Ho, these are small-budget films but they have got so much of love commercially. The truth is that commercial films are truly dependent on its story and after that everything follows.”
Alia recently won the Best Actress Award at the 64th Filmfare Awards for her performance in Raazi.
Commenting on the achievement, she said, “It is just the beginning. There is lot more to do but yeah, this year has started on a very positive note.”
‘It’s high time that we celebrate the uniqueness of people rather than making them feel small for what they do not have. The concept of beauty needs to be redefined. The film (Gone Kesh) celebrates that thought. Unless we embrace the diverse styles and individuality, how will we broaden our horizon?’

Actor Rajpal Yadav, who came out of prison late February after serving a sentence in a case of non-repayment of a loan, says he is healed, happy and excited to go back to a film set and start shooting all over again.
“I will soon start the shooting of the film 'Time To Dance' (alongside Sooraj Pancholi and Isabelle Kaif). We shot the film abroad. A small part of it remains. We will finish that. It could have been finished before, but I am really thankful to the producers and directors who waited for me to come back. I can't wait to go back on a film set now,” Rajpal said.
Julia spent time with prostitutes
Actress Julia Roberts spent time with prostitutes who were paid $35 each to talk to her before filming Pretty Woman.
Barbara Marshall, a former nurse and the widow of the movie's director, Garry Marshall, has opened up on how she was volunteering at a free clinic here in 1989 when she got a call from her spouse. She said, “Garry would never visit me at the clinic, because he was a hypochondriac and afraid of getting a disease. But he asked if Julia could come and talk to some of the patients.“I recruited two young women who came to the clinic regularly, and I paid them $35 each to meet with Julia. I went back to work, and about 20 minutes later, Julia yelled from the end of the hall, Bye, Barbara. We're going to take a drive. We'll be back later.” Barbara praised Julia as “one tough lady who can take care of herself on and off camera.”
