Shah Rukh Khan just gave a MASTERCLASS in how to do a press conference. This is why he is the KING. He promotes religious harmony, inclusivity, love and happiness. I’m glad I chose my childhood hero well.

Someday I’ll write a blog on why few things compare with meeting

Cant make the world safer for our sisters & daughters if we refuse to trust women. Nobody wants to believe despicable truths abt friends & colleagues but when it’s clear that wrong has been done, our silence makes us complicit. We’re just convincing women that nothing will change
Must mention that my favorite non-Hindi film this year was
#Mahanati
. Such an incredible story, and so beautifully told. Huge props to
@KeerthyOfficial
for that terrific performance and to director Nag Ashwin for the vision and execution.
No Rangoli, it is sad that it has come to this. It is sad that an actor the media has loved and championed has been so disrespectful. Nobody has intimidated or threatened the self-made actor. The group has asked the actor to reconsider her words. Surely that’s fair.
Hang on, did we hear that right? ‘Best Real Star Award on Social Media’. What next

? Best Actress Who Didn’t Wear Make Up For Her Role? Best Star Who Made His Own Coffee On Set?

Love these guys! No Rajkummar Rao nomination for either Newton or Trapped. Bunged him into Supporting Actor category for Bareilly. Wow. Just wow. Look at the laughable Best Film noms too!!!
Always wanted to watch the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra perform live. Watching them do a medley of

#ToyStory4
is just wonderful. Pixar succeeds again at infusing the familiar with the fresh. Tip for parents: please take your kids. Might inspire them to ditch the tablets and phones and play with toys instead - let their imagination grow!
Never known anyone who was so painfully shy, so quiet off screen, who just transformed into a force of nature when the cameras came on. She was an interviewer’s nightmare, but the movie-buff’s dream. You will be missed, Sridevi. Thank you for the movies.
Very proud of my colleagues who have come together to form the
#EntJournalistsGuild
. It’s a good time to introspect, repair, and stand up for what is right. Must set high standards for ourselves, and expect respect in return for respect given.

In these times it’s imp to make everyone around u working tirelessly for u.. not related to u.. perhaps even unknown to u... to feel they are not alone and by themselves. Let’s just make sure we all do our little bit to look after each other. India and all Indians are One Family.
I don’t usually care about box office numbers. (It’s one of the great things abt being a film critic - say what you think of a movie, doesn’t matter how it does!) But the huge opening day for Raazi is a good sign. They’re shattering the glass ceiling.
So much talent! Eight of the year’s best actresses across Hindi films and streaming shows assemble (virtually) to talk about the role of art in a difficult year, and reveal the best piece of acting they’ve seen this year. The A-List: Actresses Roundtable 2020. Out next week!
Meet the actors who dazzled us with their performances last year. Here’s presenting the Breakouts Roundtable. Starring Meher Vij, Pankaj Tripathi, Seema Pahwa, Vikrant Massey, Shweta Tripathi and Manav Kaul. Coming soon on

Shah Rukh Khan has his heart set on doing an action film, but insists he doesn’t get offered any. He’s open to ideas and scripts, he tells me, while discussing his “restlessly peaceful” phase

@NetflixIndia
. The writing and the performances are so good; these are people we know - they speak like us, behave like us, screw up like us. So easy to see ourselves in them. Nicely done.
I cannot counter lies so I’m going to let this go. But you know the truth. Twisting the truth to suit your narrative is not something I will indulge in. Good day and good luck.
Prabhas is shy but he’s also incredibly polite and funny...if you can get him to talk! He spoke to me about his new film

I was persistent, I m constant n I will b efficient again n again again. Don’t know where I belong, don’t know if I have to, as d Place don’t define me! Bcause as always I will work my a** off n I will make my own PLACE. My promise,a proud outsider from my Chandiwali studios. 🙏
I didnt know Wajid Khan; never met him. Been a fan of some of his songs but that’s all I knew of him. But reading the messages, the memories, condolences, I gather he was a solid friend, compassionate, generous, and genuinely liked. What a wonderful legacy to leave behind. RIP.
Requested Sridevi multiple times to be on the Actresses Roundtable recently; she was so good in Mom. She said she really enjoyed watching the Roundtables but didnt have anything valuable to say. She’d do anything to avoid interviews. She really let her performances do the talking

@iamsrk
Struck me that both of you have this gift, where, when you meet someone - and it can be anyone, no matter how big or small - you make that person feel like he or she is the most important person in the world in that moment. Rare, wonderful gift. No surprise that u are so loved :)
