Anjum Moudgil knew the exact moment when she realised she wasn’t ‘doing well mentally’. “It was when I stopped painting.” Anjum is a former world No.1 shooter, a world championship medallist and an Olympian. But she’s a lot more than a rifle-wielding 30-year-old. She can juggle fire, used to box and perform deadlifts. The colourful strokes of brush, however, gave her a real sense of purpose. Anjum painted for herself and her teammates. During the pandemic, she even auctioned her artwork, the proceeds of which were donated to the needy. So, when she suddenly lost interest in painting during a dip in form, it triggered alarm bells. “I was just shooting, giving everything to shooting. I didn’t like that,” she said. Obsessing over results, she first fell out of love with the sport. And thenwas out of the Indian team. On Friday, after spending the whole of 2023 on the sideline, Anjum returned to the national team for the Paris Olympics. She did enough to finish second after the conclusion of the selection trials in …

If you’re a cinephile, it’s almost impossible to have gone through the weekend without watching or at least hearing of Amar Singh Chamkila. Led by Diljit Dosanjh, Imtiaz Ali’s film acquaints the masses with Chamkila, who, in his short but sparkling career, took Punjab by storm with his songs. The biopic is winning great reviews, but for Anjum Batra—who has stepped into the shoes of Kesar Singh Tikki, Chamkila’s musician and closest friend—the best review has come from Tikki’s daughter. “Tikki passed away in January 2024. I regret that I never got to meet him through the film’s making. But his daughter texted me three days ago after watching the film, saying, ‘You look just like my dad.’ The family has invited me to their home in Ludhiana; I’ll meet them soon. They also sent me old pictures of Tikki sir and Chamkila ji,” says Batra. Chamkila and his singer-wife Amarjot were gunned down in March 1988. The film ends with how Tikki believed his curse killed the musician. That line hit home with Batra. …
