"Finally, 7 years, 3 death warrants & countless delays later, our efforts paid off. Justice for Jyoti would be delivered on March 20th, 2020–the 4 of them were finally going to hang. But the opposition lawyer he had another trick up his sleeve.”
Part 5-
We are grateful to HONY & Brandon for starting this storytelling movement.
The suit is related to the IP in our posts & not about storytelling at all.
We tried to address the issue amicably before approaching the Court, as we believe in protecting our team’s hard work.

"I’m at a stage in my life where I don’t have to choose between my career and my family- I'm doing both. I’m an actor, but I’ve also been a sister, a wife, a mother. My dreams have only gotten bigger–there’s so much more to achieve. As an actor and as a woman.”
#kareenakapoor
"I’ve received over 500 messages from women- pictures of FIRs filed & how they’ve been raped, harassed or violated without any justice. I’m going to reach out to all of them to say, ‘Hum chodenge nahi unhe’. The fight has just begun.”
Part 6-
“Who is your favourite cricketer?”
“Virat Kohli!”
“Why?”
“When he gives sixes, so many people shout ‘Go Virat!’. I also want that! When I become a cricketer, my mumma, papa, dadu and dadi, all of them will shout ‘Go Kanay!’ You’ll also shout na?”
"Everyone was afraid. Of the 48 classmates I had in school, 30 had been killed. Even the homeless took up guns & threatened to kill. With barely any savings & no income, Abu warned me & my brothers, ‘If you want to live, leave Kashmir.’”
Part 1-
“Once, I randomly told Aadu, my middle child– ‘Aadu, you’re four, so it’s time you knew our big family secret.’ Aadu was playing with his siblings and as soon as he heard ‘secret’, he looked up at me curiously; he was all ears.”
“Looking at all the dead bodies, I sometimes wish I’d never been born.

"A few days later, she walked into my room–she’d completely shaved off all her hair and was bald...just like me. I cried, ‘Aayushi!’ in disbelief and asked her why she did that, and then broke down. She ran over and hugged me tight and we cried together."
"After Bhaiya's death, my other brother left his job to take his place & is serving as a Lt. Colonel. When I hear of a soldier sacrificing his life, my heart skips a beat. But as an army family, we know how it is–for our jawans, India always comes first.”
You guys,
We did it!!
We raised 23 Lacs for the 23 years Ali Bhai was wrongly imprisoned.
When we broke the news, all of us cried!❤️
We know it's not justice, but it's hope for a better tomorrow.

"I got my big break with ‘Satya’ & awards rolled in. 67 films later, here I am. That’s the thing about dreams–when it comes to turning them into reality, the hardships don’t matter. What matters is the belief of that 9-year-old Bihari boy- nothing else.”
"So you should fall freely in love and let the world be damned…because in the end, ‘the one’ is going to end up being your world and that’s all that matters.”

From Srinagar to Bombay, from being the first actor in my family to dating someone out of the community to giving up easy money at my peak, I’ve proudly carved my own way.”

"My wife doesn’t like watching cricket– she finds it boring. So now we watch her hindi serials instead- they give me a headache, but it’s okay, my friends tell me the score later. And she looks happy while watching these shows, so I don’t mind losing out on the cricket as much.”

But some women said they're better off with cloth. Once, a man said, 'Yeh sab ghatiya kaam mat kariye.' He was well built & I was alone, so I ran away. But then an old lady said, 'Please don't mind him. We need these pads.'
