Tunisha Sharma death row: Uorfi Javed says Sheezan Khan might have ‘cheated on her but can’t blame him for her death’

For the past one week, media has been abuzz with reports regarding the suicide of Ali Baba Dastaan-E-Kabul actress Tunisha Sharma, which was followed by the arrest of her ex-boyfriend and co-actor Sheezan Khan. After the families of the victim and the accused addressed the media regarding their respective children, many of their co-actors too have spoken about their opinion regarding the issue. The latest one to talk about the matter is Uorfi Javed who posted a long note on social media, a day go, not only addressing the issue but also requesting females to give away their life for anyone.

Uorfi Javed took to her social media to share a long note regarding the issue on her Instagram story saying, “My 2 cents on Tunisha’s case, yes he might be wrong, he might have cheated on her but we cannot blame him for her death. You absolutely cannot make someone stay with you who doesn’t want to stay. Girls no one I REPEAT NO ONE is worth giving up your precious life. Sometimes it might just seem like the end of the world but trust me it’s not. Think about the people who love you or just try loving yourself a bit harder. Be your own hero. Please give time some time. Even after suicide the suffering doesn’t end, the ones that are left behind suffer even more.”

The statement comes after the Sharma family claimed that Sheezan Khan had cheated on Tunisha Sharma, which led to her suicide. The actress committed suicide by hanging herself in the makeup van on the sets of the ongoing show Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul which also featured Khan in the male lead. As per statements given to the officials, it seems that the actor had spoken to the late actress fifteen minutes before her demise.

Janhvi Kapoor reveals she wants to do a comedy with lots of dancing; says, “I really want to do comedy. With lots of dancing”

Looking back on the year, what are your takeaways?
That there is no substitute for hard work. And if your heart is clean and you put your heart and soul into your work, even if it takes longer, slowly and surely people will start recognising that about you. There’s no need to get caught up in the noise and PR game and lose bearings on the stuff that really matters. Even if it seems like the only way to get ahead in this race.

Anything else?
Also to keep evolving. And never take yourself too seriously. And know that there’s never any set formula for success, it’s all about enjoying the journey and never getting complacent.

The past two years have been tough on all. How did you cope workwise and personally?
Work-wise I still get agitated and anxious every time I have a break from shooting for more than ten days. I start feeling empty and like a social media personality who’s just getting dressed up and clicking photos and doing events. It starts feeling kind of depressing because unless I’m creatively stimulated or invigorated or on a set in an environment doing what I love, something that feels meaningful; I’ve realised I tend to get into a funk.

So how did you cope with the period of lockdown?
I don’t know how I got through those two years, but I think everyone’s priority was more just survival: there was so much happening in the world that we were just thankful to be with our families and safe. And it actually taught me a lot about humanity. I think it was such a catalyst to our personal growth. I also got to spend time with my family and read and watch things and get to know who I am and what I want to be. It was nice not to be seen for some time.

Mili got you great reviews. Were you disappointed by the box office collections?
Yes I was. More than anything my naive outlook of if a film is good and made with good intentions, it’ll do well and connect- it was kind of shattered a bit. Because I think it also matters what kind of good film you are, and what kind of things you’re offering to a theatrical audience, so it was a learning process. But I stand by the film; I feel a lot of pride that I was a part of it and with what we made. I hope more people see it once it’s out on Netflix.

Do you feel that now you have finally come into your own and that people are not comparing you unfavourably with your mother?
It definitely feels like there are more positive comparisons than negative ones. The tonality is more, ‘Oh, this of Janhvi reminds me of her mother.’ As opposed to, ‘She’s so shit compared to her mother.’ So while it feels definitely more positive, I do obviously realise there are still many people to win over. And I will. I have that much faith in myself, my craft and my hard work.

Your sister Khushi is getting ready for her debut next year. How do you feel about this?
I feel very excited!! She just wrapped her film. And I think it’s such a sweet lovely film and she’s given so much to it. And Zoya Akhtar has created such a wonderful fresh world. I’m very excited

As an actor what are the roles that you would like to challenge yourself with during the coming year?
I really want to do comedy!!! And I really want to dance; I’ve been dying to dance. Or a period film. But comedy first. With lots of dancing

EXCLUSIVE: Huma Qureshi reveals she would not have signed Maharani pre-pandemic; says, “I would not have taken up the show if it was offered during non-pandemic time”

Bollywood is filled with some talented actors. One such actor who we cannot miss mentioning is Huma Qureshi. She has given great performances in films like Badlapur, Gangs of Wasseypur, Monica O My Darling and many more. This actress did not fail us to give us interesting performance even in the pandemic. Huma’s Maharani was one such piece of art that earned people’s interest and attention.

In the Bollywood Hungama Best Actress Round Table 2022 presented by Astroyogi, Huma opened up about her experience with Maharani, “When I signed the first season of Maharani, it was during the start of pandemic. It was the first Zoom narration I ever had for any script. I remember finding it quite interesting, but I still wanted to read it”.

Sharing her viewpoint on the script of Maharani, she said, “When I read it, there were a lot of concerns. One of them being the obvious that the industry has, i.e., it is the role of a female who has 2-3 kids of hers. If you do it, you might be slotting yourself. You still might have ten more years before you take up these kinds of roles. I would lie if I said I did not think about it or not questioned myself.”

Dealing with conflicting thoughts in her mind, she eventually cleared up the concerns. In reference to this, she further said, “But then I thought it was an amazing script, and I was so glad it happened during the pandemic because you get all the time to think about your reason of living or being an actor and basically all those existential questions that we all thought about or asked ourselves. I am very grateful as it was during that time I got this script. I don’t know maybe if I got this script during non-pandemic times, I would have not taken up the project and would have got distracted. It was only because I had all this time to really think about it.”

Taking her experience further, she said, “I felt I must do this project like it was the last time I was doing anything with whatever I got. I am extremely grateful to Subhash Kapoor sir for writing and conceiving this beautiful character and for trusting me with it. It is quite heavy lifting. It is twenty episodes down and is one of the most fulfilling characters that I have ever played. It is a proper character with nothing missing in it according to me”.

As Ranveer Singh delivers three back-to-back flops at the box office, trade experts share their views; say, “When a film flops, the hero gets the blame”

The much-awaited film Cirkus has bombed big time at the box office. For Ranveer Singh, this is his third consecutive flop after ’83 (2021) and Jayeshbhai Jordaar (2022). We asked trade experts to discuss this aspect and the way ahead for the highly talented actor.

Trade analyst Atul Mohan said “He is one of the top actors today and has one of the highest numbers of endorsements. ’83 got acclaim. It came at a time when it couldn’t do well. His performances have always worked, even when the films didn’t. Filmmaking is team work. You can’t bog down an actor after he goes through flops. Also, these actors are too big and 3-4 flops in a row don’t affect them. One hit and he’ll be back in the game. Thankfully, he’s working with top directors and banners.”

Film exhibitor and distributor Akshaye Rathi agreed and felt that his next film, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, is a promising entertainer that can help him get back into the big league. He said, “It is helmed by Karan Johar, one of the most exciting directors out there. And he’s also a part of Shankar’s next, which seems huge. Right now, we are living in a time when every actor or star is as good or bad as the films that he’s doing. Ajay Devgn delivered Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior (2020) which was the biggest hit of his career at that point. This was followed by flops like Runway 34 (2022) and an extended cameo in Thank God (2022). Then he delivered a blockbuster, Drishyam 2. It’s not like his stardom was eroded between Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior and Drishyam 2. It’s just that the films didn’t work. The same applies to Ranveer Singh. When his films work, he will deliver more Padmaavat’s and Bajirao Mastani’s all over again.”

Trade veteran Taran Adarsh, however, opined, “It would make a dent (to his track record) because when a film flops, the hero gets the blame. Log bolte hai ki ‘hero ki film flop ho gayi’. Even Rohit Shetty is being blamed but Ranveer has delivered 3 flops in a row. All 3 were backed by reputed names like Kabir Khan, Yash Raj Films and Rohit Shetty. It can’t get bigger than Rohit Shetty, that too in the Christmas weekend.”

Raj Bansal, the owner of Entertainment Paradise in Jaipur, remarked, “Ranveer Singh will have to be very careful while picking up his new films. ’83 was not a wrong choice. Any actor would have given his right arm to work in that film. It beautifully and intelligently recreated the 1983 World Cup but commercially, it didn’t work sadly as the youth probably couldn’t relate to these yesteryear cricketers.”

He continued, “Ranveer Singh had a nice time working with Rohit Shetty in Simmba (2018). He also did a cameo in Rohit’s Sooryavanshi (2021). Then when he was offered Cirkus, it seemed like he must have thought that Rohit Shetty jo film laayega, main kar dunga. That’s where he went wrong. He shouldn’t be emotional now in choosing scripts. He’s a good actor and will continue to do good cinema. But since 3 of his films didn’t work, uska career jhatka kha gaya.”
