Comedy is serious business: Kriti
Actor Kriti Sanon says doing comedy is not a laughing matter but a serious business.
Kriti has featured in comedies such as Bareilly Ki Barfi, Arjun Patiala and the recent Diwali release, Housefull 4.
“Comedy is, indeed, serious business but thanks to the amazing mentors I found in Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Bobby Deol. They made it seamless for me to pull off certain scenes. People can now enjoy the film on the streaming platform and hopefully it’ll add a bit to their holiday cheer,” Kriti said.
‘Ranbaaz Phirse is inspired by people who weren’t likely to become criminals but the system made them criminals. It is about a topper, a gold medalist. He cleared the UPSC exam and he could have joined the force as an IPS (Indian Police Service) officer. He wanted to do something for the country. Our story is about what happens and how, when such a man becomes a criminal.’

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana is on a career high and so his brother Aparshakti. While Ayushmann has become immensely popular and has also won a National Award thanks to his starring roles, RJ-turned-actor Aparshakti has carved a niche with his effortless comic timing in character roles in films such as Dangal, Stree and Lukka Chuppi.
Ayushmann, who has been enjoying a lot of the limelight as a leading man lately, feels his younger brother deserves to be a lead actor.
Selena soiled her pants
Singer-actor Selena Gomez had an unfortunate accident when she got stuck in traffic on the way to an popular singer Ed Sheeran concert.
The Lose You to Love Me hitmaker was on the way to watch the Sheeran in concert in California with her friends when she got caught short needing the toilet and said she “soiled my pants a bit” amid the excitement.
“Me and my friends, we love going to concerts. Ed Sheeran was playing at the Hollywood Bowl. There was so much traffic and I was very uncomfortable, let’s say ‘down there’ in that area. I will say that it was the first time I have maybe soiled my pants a bit,” she said.
