Aamna Sharif’s look as Komolika surfaces online; actress looks quite intriguing
Aamna Sharif is all set to get into the shoes of the evil Komolika from Kasautii Zindagii Kay. Her look from the show has surfaced online and one can notice glimpses of Hina Khan’s Komolika in Aamna as she takes over the role of the former.
In the pics circulating on social media, Aamna can be seen wearing an off-shoulder, blue coloured blouse with a lehenga of the same colour. She has gone for the dramatic eye makeup and looks quite intriguing. Similar to Hina Khan’s look, she sports curled-up hair and heavy jewellery to compliment her evil look.
Kasautii Zindagii Kay is a reboot of the show of the same title that aired in the early 2000s. The reboot stars new cast entirely including Parth Samthaan as Anurag Basu, Erica Fernandes as Prerna Sharma and Karan Singh Grover in the leading roles. Bigg Boss and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actress Hina Khan was the vamp Komolika in the show. But, due to her work schedule and other commitments, the actress quit the project. Now, the new Komolika will be Aamna Sharif.
Speaking about whether she (Aamna Sharif) is afraid of the comparisons being made with Hina Khan, she said that she had not seen the show but heard that Hina had done a tremendous job. Years ago, it was Urvashi Dholakia whose work was loved and Komolika became a cult figure.
Deepika Padukone reveals what dress code Ranveer Singh follows when meeting her parents
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are easily one of the most loved couples on and off-screen. The couple, who dated for six years, got married in a lavish ceremony in Italy last November. Ranveer Singh is known to have a quirky and unique style but when it comes to Deepika’s parents, he follows the Padukone wardrobe.
“When he’s with my parents, that’s his look. If it’s a specific family event then there’s Padukone family wardrobe which is black pants, blue jeans white crisp shirts, round neck T-shirts”, Deepika Padukone said at The Print’s Off The Cuff chat show.
She further said that while everyone knows his hyperactive side, very few get to see his vulnerable, quiet and intelligent side. “There is an extremely quiet, vulnerable and intelligent side to him that I guess people don’t get to see very often. He’s extremely expressive, a lot of directors get to see that side of him as well,” she added.
Speaking of her fashion choices, she said that there’s no winning with people. “I don’t get it, I wear a white shirt and blue jeans, and they’ll be like so boring, why can’t she try something fun? And when I try something fun, it’s like oh now she is trying to be like her husband, she should just stick to doing the classic stuff she always does. What do you want?,” Deepika said.
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have worked in four films together – Ram Leela, Finding Fanny, Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat. They will be seen once again in Kabir Khan’s directorial ’83 which will release on April 10, 2020.

Amitabh Bachchan turns 77, wants no fanfare on his birthday
India’s biggest superstar whom his co-star Ayushmann Khurrana bills “A 77-year man with the mind of a 24-year old” is in no mood to celebrate his birthday. “What is there to celebrate? It’s a day like any other day? I’m grateful that I am still working, that my body is able to keep pace with my spirit,” he says humbly urging his well-wishers to wish and pray for his good health.
Bachchan Saab recalls his childhood birthdays when his father the great poet Harivanshrai Bachchan would always write and recite a poem for him. “It was a family tradition. But this tradition took an entirely new definition when after my near-fatal accident in 1984 (when Mr Bachchan nearly lost his life after a mis-aimed punch in his solar plexus while shooting Manmohan Desai’s Coolie) my father recited my birthday poem. It was like a new life for me. While reading the poem my father broke down. It was the only time I’ve seen him like that.”
The mega-star who will soon be seen in the sports drama Jhund, says he misses the annual ritual “My father’s poetry is much-missed, as is my mother’s excitement on that day. The annual ritual of cake-cutting no longer interests me. It has been replaced by a plate of dry fruits.”
Though having achieved more than most dream about in seven lifetimes, Bachchan Saab has many, many unfulfilled dreams. “There’re so many! I want play the piano. I want to learn many languages. I’d have liked to work with Guru Dutt.”
As a parting shot I ask him to choose one of his films that he would like to remake for himself. “None at all. What was to be done was done to those films. Why not look ahead?”
Made In China actress Amyra Dastur talks about the taboo around sex and playing supporting roles
Actress Amyra Dastur will next be seen in the Rajkummar Rao starrer Made In China, in which she will be playing a sexologist’s assistant. Boman Irani will be seen portraying the role of the sexologist. Made in China is a celebration of the spirit of entrepreneurship and a never say die attitude via the story of a small-time Gujarati businessman from Ahmedabad. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Amyra Dastur spoke about the angst around the word sex and other infamous notions in Bollywood.
Speaking about how sex is considered a taboo in our society, Amyra Dastuir said, “I think it is just the culture that is conservative at the end of the day and we don’t openly talk about it. But now we actually are, but otherwise, I mean it was like a big taboo. People would not even easily say the word. Slowly, people are opening up and it is becoming better and the culture shift is actually becoming less conservative. Ultimately, we came up with the Kamasutra and we still do not talk about sex at all. I think historical culture is far better than this culture. They seem far more open-minded than we are now.”
Amyra Dastur has largely played supporting roles in films. When asked why she does not play the lead in films she said, “Now, content-based films are working more than masala films. I have always wanted to do good films. I do not mind if the role is 5 minutes or 10 minutes long. I think this lead heroine and hero thing is very taxing and complicated. If you keep doing that you will end up with no work, so for me it is about the good scripts and good roles.”
Watch the complete video here:
Talking about the roles of actors getting edited out in the post-production stage, Amyra said that it is true. “You need to maintain good relations with people. If you piss the wrong person, then your roles get cut.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Amyra Dastur will be seen in a web series that will be officially announced in November. The actress has also signed 2-3 films as of now.
