Singer Neha Bhasin slams Bhumi Pednekar for questioning behaviour of protestors: ‘Chup rehna best hai behen’

Published by Webster

Bhumi Pednekar received significant backlash recently after she shared a post calling out the foul language used by some of the protesters during the CJP-led NEET-UG 2026 protest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The actor took to Instagram to advise the youth to show their rage without using insulting language, which she says doesn’t represent the country’s culture. Neha Bhasin has called out Bhumi Pednekar’s comments on the student protests. But, the internet was quick to point out that she didn’t speak about the students being beaten up, lathi-charged, pelted guns being used at them during the Sansad March on July 20. What Neha said Now singer Neha Bhasin has called out Bhumi in her latest post. She wrote, “I would have really respected our dear PM more if there was calling out of police for openly, inappropriately touching women during the protests as he is offended by the use of gaalis. He himself said these are kids. But the police is appointed to protect and abide by the law. So why is there no …

When Dharna Durga first heard the title Maa Behen, she was instantly intrigued. “I thought, ‘What kind of title is this?’ It instantly made me curious. But as I heard the story of the film, I realised there couldn’t have been a better title. It’s one of those titles that stays with you,” she said. The content creator-turned actor is enjoying appreciation as her performance as Sushma in the Suresh Triveni film, co-starring Madhuri Dixit and Tripti Dimri, is being noticed. She says the transition from filming solo Instagram reels to working on a full-fledged movie set came with technical differences, but not the intimidation she expected. From creating characters inspired by everyday family life to navigating her first film set, Dharna Durga speaks about accidental success, overthinking, and trusting the process “In my videos, there aren’t many people behind the camera, but on a film set, the same scene is shot multiple times from different angles. That was the biggest difference,” she recalled. “But I never felt uncomfortable because everyone made me feel so …

Maa Behen writer Pooja Tolani on feminist gaze, deleted scenes and more

Published by Webster

Until a day before the release of Maa Behen, the Madhuri Dixit, Triptii Dimri and Dharna Durga-starrer dark comedy, director Suresh Triveni joked that if writer Pooja Tolani had her way, she would still be writing and making changes to the script to perfect it. Looking at how well the Netflix film has been received by the audience, the writer’s itch is finally at rest.  Even as she continues to receive messages and mentions for the film’s feminism and cackling humour, mid-day gets on a call with her to talk about the five-year-long journey she undertook to write Maa Behen, what makes Rekha, Jaya and Sushma special and why the concept of ‘women writing women’ is a cop out.
