Makeup artist accuses Anurag Kashyap of being jealous

During the Phitte Muh podcast, Shaan slammed Anurag Kashyap by stating that he is jealous of the kind of money makeup artists and other team members of the entourage earn. “What Anurag sir is saying is his world, his bubble. But there’s another world too. Will this Anurag sir, after so many hits, go and do a movie for what a newcomer director will do? No. Of course, there’s a lot of jealousy, and I completely understand. Because we do get paid more than managers, than first ADs, and people in the camera department,” he said.

Further adding that his films feature women wearing Rs. 250 worth cotton sarees, Shaan went on to criticize the way actors are presented in his films. “Of course, he can lose his s**t when he hears Rs. 1.5 lakh for makeup and hair when his heroines don’t need makeup and hair, I understand. But not everybody gets paid Rs. 1 lakh or Rs. 2 lakh. There are only around 10 of us. First of all, I wouldn’t get a call from him. In his films, he will have to call me to get the dark circles and to make the hair look frizzy. That’s what his heroines look like.”

What Anurag Kashyap said

In a recent interview, Anurag Kashyap described the losses incurred by producers after they have to abide by the star and their entourage’s wishes. The filmmaker touched upon the subject of budget wherein he made shocking revelations about the exorbitant prices charged by an actor’s team which often results in the film going over-budget. He had opened up about it in an interview with Janice Sequeira wherein he said, “Somebody has a chef who charges ₹2 lakh per day to make this strange healthy food. Jo dekh ke lagta tha ye khana hai? Yeh to bird feed hai. Itna chhota sa aata tha (After seeing it, it doesn’t even look like food. It looks so less, like a bird feed)”.

Natasa Stankovic and Hardik Pandya announce separation after 4 years, will continue co-parenting son Agastya

After months of rumours regarding model-turned-actor Natasa Stankovic’s split with cricketer Hardik Pandya, Natasa confirmed the news with a lengthy Instagram post on Thursday. They stated that it was a “tough decision” for both of them and that they will continue to co-parent their three-year-old son, Agastya.

The couple on their respective Instagram handles shared a note that read, “After 4 years of being together, Natasa and I have decided to mutually part ways. We tried our best together and gave it our all, and we believe this in in the best interest for the both of us. This was a tough decision for us to make, given the joy, mutual respect and companionship we enjoyed together and as we grew a family.”

The note further read, “We are blessed with Agastya, who will continue to be at the centre of both our lives and we will co-parent to ensure that we give him everything that we can for his happiness. We sincerely request your support and understanding to give us the privacy during this difficult and sensitive time.”

Natasa’s absence from IPL and World Cup matches prompted suspicions regarding her breakup. Hardik Pandya’s decision to forgo the Sri Lanka series fueled split speculations.

Natasa Stankovic, a former Bigg Boss contestant and dancer, married cricketer Hardik Pandya on May 31, 2020. In February 2023, the pair reaffirmed their wedding vows using Hindu and Christian ceremonies.

However, suspicion about their split began in May of this year, when netizens observed that the model had deleted the surname ‘Pandya’ from her Instagram username. Later, a Reddit thread titled “Natasa and Hardik separated?” went viral, capturing everyone’s interest. The report stated that the two were sharing photos with each other and questioned Natasa’s absence from IPL 2024 games.

Natasa shared an Instagram story video earlier this month that appeared to corroborate the speculations of their split. In the video, she says, “Just a little reminder from me to you again: God did not erase the Red Sea; He just separated it. This implies he will not eradicate an issue from your life; rather, he will find a way around it.”

Meanwhile, Natasa appears to have returned to her hometown, Serbia. On Wednesday, she was seen at the Mumbai airport with her son, Agastya. She was observed lugging suitcases while ignoring the press and not posing for photos.
