Jyotika on marriage with Suriya, parenting: ‘It’s not just him supporting me, I chose to do less work’ | Tamil News

Published by Parlour News

Jyotika, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming Amazon Prime Video legal drama System, recently opened up about her marriage to Suriya, making independent choices in a male-dominated industry, and reclaiming space for herself both personally and professionally. Directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, the film also stars Sonakshi Sinha and Ashutosh Gowariker. During a conversation with Zoom TV, Jyotika spoke about how she and Suriya have built their marriage around mutual understanding and shared responsibilities, especially while raising their children. “I think a marriage is all about balance. And it’s not about just him supporting me. It’s also about me supporting him when he leaves for work and I take care of the house. I choose to do lesser work. I choose to sit back when it’s important. And he sits back when I have to leave for an outdoor schedule. There’s always one of us at home with the kids. So I think a marriage has to be hand in glove. It has to work in a balanced way,” she said. …

Sarika on making her comeback with The Family I Chose

Published by Webster

Sarika doesn’t need convincing to give her nod to a movie. All the actor needs is a script rooted in honesty. Like The Family I Chose, her next project over three years after Sooraj Barjatya’s Uunchai (2022). Director Kankana Chakraborty’s maiden feature film explores the idea of belonging and a chosen family.  Talking to mid-day, Sarika shared that the theme was enough to draw her to the movie. “The concept resonates with the times we live in, especially in metro cities. So, the film offers the opportunity to look around and pick up nuances. The Family I Chose is not just the title, but a reality of our times that needs to be explored creatively. There is beauty, sensitivity, sharing, and empathy in such a family. I love how Kankana has written it,” she said. Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.

While social media has been flooded with a range of reactions to Nitesh Tiwari’s epic, filmmaker Anurag Basu, who has collaborated with Ranbir on films like Barfi and Jagga Jasoos, recently weighed in on the first look and was full of praise for the superstar, saying he “amazingly nailed the look.” ‘Lot of courage to play Lord Ram’ Speaking to Variety India, he said, “The way I had imagined Ranbir as Rama when he signed the film, and what I expected was very good.

It was very tough, and you need a lot of courage to get into that character to play Ram.” He also described Ranbir’s decision to take on a film and character as revered as this as highly courageous: “It takes a lot of courage …

Axar Patel had Kuldeep Yadav and himself. He chose Nitish Rana instead. | Cricket News

3 min readApr 21, 2026 10:52 PM IST Nitish Rana’s place in the Delhi Capitals squad was partly justified by his ability to bowl off-spin. With Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head and Ishan Kishan — three left-handers — anchoring the Sunrisers Hyderabad top order, the logic was sound. A ball turning away from the left-hander is a harder proposition. There was one problem. Rana barely turned the ball at all. The part-timer bowled two overs in the Powerplay and two in the middle overs, conceding 55 runs without a wicket. Six sixes and two fours — all, ironically, from left-handers. The frustration for DC fans was not just the damage but the arithmetic: five specialist bowlers available, and yet Rana still bowled four. His first three overs cost 32 — an acceptable return for a non-regular in T20 cricket. Then Axar Patel gave him the 15th over. It went for 23, including three sixes and a four. This while Axar himself and Kuldeep Yadav — two spinners most captains would hand full quotas without hesitation — …

That was the big part and when we arrived at that, then how we do it was not really a big thing,” she shared in a conversation with Hindustan Times. “We were very sure from the beginning that we didn’t want a 3-4 day destination wedding. We did not want to be on a calendar. We did not want to do rituals morning and evening.” Kritika also emphasised how the day unfolded effortlessly, with no rigid plans or expectations. “I had a blast because …

‘Frustrated’ Rajesh Khanna turned to alcohol after facing failure, Amitabh Bachchan chose a masterclass in survival: Prem Chopra | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

4 min readNew DelhiApr 15, 2026 03:52 PM IST Rajesh Khanna may have left us, but stories of his meteoric rise and painful struggle with stardom’s decline remain timeless. Often hailed as Hindi cinema’s first true superstar, his dominance was unparalleled—but, like many legends, it proved fleeting. With the arrival of Amitabh Bachchan and the seismic success of Zanjeer (1973), the industry witnessed a dramatic shift. Over time, Bachchan became the new face of Hindi cinema, and Rajesh Khanna’s films began to falter at the box office. This transition, as many close to him observed, was not easy for Khanna to accept. It reportedly pushed him into denial and deep frustration. Veteran actor Prem Chopra, one of his closest friends in the industry, recently reflected on this difficult phase, noting how Rajesh Khanna struggled to come to terms with no longer being the reigning superstar. ‘Rajesh Khanna couldn’t digest his failure’ In a conversation with Vickey Lalwani, Prem Chopra spoke candidly about the actor’s downfall. When Lalwani mentioned Khanna’s comeback phase with films like Avatar, …

Javokhir Sindarov is not a big fan of the nickname chess followers have for him these days. Windarov. So what if the pun is as clever as it is accurate. On Tuesday, Sindarov sealed a win-some first Candidates campaign by drawing his penultimate game against his closest challenger, Anish Giri. The result handed the Uzbek prodigy the Candidates title, thus also securing a World Championship battle against India’s D Gukesh. With one final round left in the tournament, the Uzbek prodigy has breezed through an elite field, staying undefeated after 13 rounds while winning six games in a flexing of muscle not many thought was capable at a cut-throat tournament like the Candidates. Sindarov’s triumph at the Candidates sets up a next-gen showdown at the World Championship with both players being 20 when the tournament is likely held at the end of this year. Such has been Sindarov’s rampaging run through the Candidates in Cyprus that even modern-day greats have been made aware of their limitations. “My wife asked me the other day what’s going …
