AR Rahman reacts after backlash for suggesting Hindi film industry has become communal: ‘Never wished to cause pain’ | Bollywood News

AR Rahman has clarified the intentions behind his recent remarks suggesting that the Hindi film industry may have become more “communal” in the last eight years. The Oscar-winning composer made this insinuation while confessing that he’s been getting less work because of a “power shift” in the Hindi music industry.

‘I wished I was out there’: Ricky Ponting on Steve Smith-Jofra Archer face-off in 2nd Ashes Test | Cricket News

‘I wished I was out there’: Ricky Ponting on Steve Smith-Jofra Archer face-off in 2nd Ashes Test | Cricket News

Jofra Archer’s little verbal battle with Steve Smith provided some entertainment in what was largely a formality of a fourth innings of the second Ashes Test in Brisbane, with Australia needing to chase down just 65 runs to win the match. Smith had turned to T20 mode, taking Australia over the line by blasting 23 runs in nine balls and while he replied to Archer’s jibes with some words of his own, former captain Ricky Ponting also had a few sledges up his sleeve for the England fast bowler from the commentary box. Ponting noted that it was interesting how Archer had come alive only at that stage of the match, when the game was well put England’s grasps. The Australian great has since said that the period was one of few in his career as a commentator in which he was out there with bat in hand. “Smithy said ‘champion’, and then that’s just what came out of my mouth … it got me going, and got the hairs on the back of my …

Reflecting on his long struggle with alcohol, Dharmendra had told Lehren Retro, “I used to drink heavily, but I have realised that it doesn’t go with me. If you want to look the same and keep your stamina, your thinking, because it does affect… it’s the worst thing. Today, I wish I had not touched alcohol. If I hadn’t touched it, I would have been a different Dharmendra. I would have concentrated much more and in a much better way, which I couldn’t,” he said. He admitted that while he enjoyed life without harming others, quitting alcohol brought him a new sense of clarity and joy. “Now, when I have left …
