The 36-year-old Savita, who is the most experienced player in the FIH World Cup with 317 caps, is only four matches away from breaking the Indian record for playing most matches (320), currently held by the veteran goalkeeper Vandana Katariya. “My confidence has grown” While looking back at her glorious career, Savita feels hockey has changed her as a person too. “When I started playing, I couldn’t talk to my seniors much beyond saying ‘good morning’, but today I’m a team mentor. My confidence has grown significantly. I’ve learned to speak while playing hockey.” she told PTI in an exclusive interview. “I often share my journey with the young players. Today, players are learning these things very quickly. It …

Stating that he even contemplated quitting acting altogether after the movie, Ganesh said that working on it was deeply humiliating and painful for him. Despite many years of acting experience, he claimed that even Dileep treated him poorly. “They filmed some scenes I was supposed to be in without me. When it came to combination sequences, even Dileep didn’t bother to ask where I was. After that, I felt I shouldn’t act in movies anymore. Both Bandra’s director (Arun Gopy) and others, including Dileep, hurt me. I was invited with the promise of a good role, but I didn’t get one. Thinking about how they treated a senior actor like this made me feel like quitting,” he told Manorama News during a recent interview.

Mumait’s journey in the entertainment industry began far earlier than most. She was just 13 when she started working, and barely 18 when “Dekh Le” turned her into a nationwide sensation. What followed was a whirlwind—multiple Hindi, Telugu and Kannada films, a string of chartbuster item numbers, bold roles, and a rapidly cemented image as a sex symbol. And then, just as suddenly, she vanished from the spotlight. Born to a Pakistani father and a South Indian mother, Mumait spent most of her childhood in Mumbai. But behind the city’s glitter, her family was quietly struggling financially. It wasn’t pressure from her parents that pushed her into work—it was awareness. Mumait Khan in Dekh Le song.

However, the actor has now revealed that this version of Madhavan 2 came from a four-year break from acting, which started with a Swiss farmer giving him a disdainful look while he was dancing in a Tamil song. The break transformed him from a “lover boy” into the powerhouse performer. R Madhavan took a 4-year break from acting in 2011, only making a comeback with his hit film Saala Khadoos in 2016, and went on to choose very different characters than earlier. In a recent interview, Madhavan opened up about the reason behind going on a sabbatical. During a conversation with Unfiltered Entertainment, he shared, “Vikram Vedha happened to me after a sabbatical. Before Saala Khadoos, I had to take a break because I was very disillusioned with the kind of work I was doing. I was shooting in Switzerland with orange pants and …

Vikrant Massey’s journey as an actor started quite early, and it was not out of choice. He was a 16-year-old, working as a barista at a Mumbai restaurant, trying to pay for his education when a TV producer spotted him and offered him the lead role in a show. Vikrant who was pulled 16-hour days as he juggled two jobs besides studies jumped at the offer. The show never telecast at the time but Vikrant, the actor, was born. “I always wanted to be an actor, but obviously no 16 year old wants to be an actor. I thought I’ll finish my graduation, and then I will go to NSD or FTII and then maybe, when I am 24-25, I’ll act professionally,” Vikrant recalled about his journey in an interview to Republic. The actor said he was raw and untrained when he faced the camera, simply attracted by the promise of the fee that could help him pay for education. “I still remember the date, it was December 19, 2024. Prior to that, I was …
