Veteran actor Bindu refused to wear bikini, halted Yash Chopra’s shoot for 2 hours: ‘You didn’t tell me earlier’

Published by Parlour News

Veteran actor Bindu recently shared an anecdote from the sets of Yash Chopra’s Joshila (1973). She recalled how she was taken aback after discovering, upon arriving on set, that she had to shoot a bikini scene. Uncomfortable with the idea, she refused to film it. However, Yash Chopra understood her concerns and made sure she felt comfortable before proceeding with the shoot. Bindu and Dev Anand in a still from Joshila. Bindu refused to wear a bikini Speaking to Vickey Lalwani, Bindu said, “I stopped the shoot for two hours because I wasn’t ready to wear a proper bikini. A bikini is a bikini. I told Yash ji, ‘Please… you never told me about this earlier.’ I only came to know about it after reaching the set. Then Yash ji said, ‘Stay inside the water as much as possible. We’ll shoot it that way and take only the side and back shots.’ Poor Dev Anand ji just sat there quietly and didn’t say anything. The shoot remained halted for almost two hours. I kept wondering …

‘I wish I had known earlier’: Jerry Pinto on palliative care and making peace with death | Books and Literature News

Published by Parlour News

Indian author Jerry Pinto keeps writing about the things people would rather forget about or supress in a box in the bowels of their mind. In Em and the Big Hoom it was a mother’s mental illness; in his translation of Swadesh Deepak’s memoir I Have Not Seen Mandu A Fractured Soul, the same subject was explored from the inside; in A Book of Light, he looks into what it takes to look after someone chronically unwell, and in his new book, A Good Life: The Power of Palliative Care (Juggernaut, 2025), takes him to a ward where people already know they are at death’s door. In this conversation, Pinto talks about the stories that have stayed with him, the people who keep India’s caregiving system running, and how writing about death finally eased his own fear of it. Excerpts: You open the book with the stark admission, “I wish I had known about palliative care earlier.” How did this realisation become the emotional engine behind A Good Life? A project like this needs an …

The son was allegedly tortured in police custody, they claimed. This is not the first time the policewoman has faced action. In 2020, when Jena was posted as inspector-in-charge …
