Be better than yesterday: Anil
Actor Anil Kapoor doesn't want to get comfortable with his position in the industry. He says that he has a simple plan, which is to be better than yesterday.
“I don't think I ever want to be completely comfortable for fear of complacency. It's only when you put yourself in uncomfortable situations that you grow and learn,” says he.
He adds that when you find yourself getting too comfortable and too much at ease, kick yourself out of your comfort zone and try something new.
Anil entered the industry with a small role in 1979 with Umesh Mehra's Hamare Tumhare, and then went on to carve his niche by balancing his stature as a respectable actor.
‘There is a group of students who come to all my sessions and start coughing and creating ruckus. When I asked one of them where are you from, he said, ‘I am a Kashmiri, my parents are from Srinagar', and when I said that meant he is an Indian, because Kashmir is a part of India, he refused to accept it. We are losing the battle because of the narrative.’

Actor Bhumi Pednekar will soon be entering the scary-thriller zone with her next Durgavati, which will be presented by Bollywood star Akshay Kumar.
Bhumi and Akshay took the social media route to announce the project, and express their excitement about the film.
“I have waited so long to share this one with you. So excited to announce my next film Durgavati. A scary-thriller going on floor mid-January. Thank you Akshay Kumar sir for your constant belief in me,” said she.
I am boring and old now: Robert
Actor Robert Pattinson feels he is too boring and old for fans to care about his work.
Pattinson found fame as a vampire with the Twilight franchise, and is preparing to suit up as the caped crusader in Matt Reeves' forthcoming The Batman remake.
In an interview, the actor admitted that he wishes people stop focusing on his old Edward Cullen character.
“There's a part of me that just thinks it's impossible to be what happened with Twilight because it was so sudden,” Pattinson said. He added, “I'm hoping it won't be people hanging out outside my place. I just think I'm kind of boring and old now.”
