Onir speaks about how he was falsely accused of molestation and the humiliation he faced from police for being gay: "They suggested that I should be kept in a lock-up since I indulge in such SINFUL activity"

Image
Onir recently released his memoir, 'I Am Onir & I Am Gay', co-written by his sister Irene Dhar Malik. As the title suggests, he has opened up about his sexual preference and identity in the autobiography. India has recently decriminalized homosexuality after abolishing Section 377. Yet, people in India are still not open to the idea of two people of the same sex falling in love or having a relationship. Onir has talked about this aspect and also of the time when he was falsely accused of molesting a guy. Onir wrote that in 2011, a guy he knew from his gym met him over wine and dinner one evening. Onir confessed that "We flirted and got a little physical with each other". They also parted, promising to be in touch. The next morning, the man sent Onir "some sweet messages". Hence, Onir said that he got the shock of his life when a few days later, a journalist informed him that the guy reached out to her and told her that he had molested him. Onir made i

“It felt right to make my comeback with my dad’s song, ‘Woh Beete Din’”, says Tanya Kumar who will soon be making a comeback to music

Image
Remember Tanya Singh Kumar? Yes, the daughter of the late Ajit Singh who made her debut back in 1993 with the film Aaja Mere Jaan alongside Kirshan Kumar. Well since then Tanya has come a long way, from featuring on television to even venturing into music. But, Tanya has been away from the limelight. However, things are all set to change with Singh making a comeback to music with a recreation of her father Ajit Singh’s track ‘Woh Beete Din’ . Revealing her calling to develop the track and make a comeback to music, Tanya revealed that the entire process was like a calling. “My father passed on in 2020 very suddenly. But sometime in December ‘21, I started getting this ‘calling’ again. Almost as if my dad is pushing me to ‘do it’. All my friends and family started pushing me to start, especially my masi Sapna Morarji in Pune, who would actually call or text me every morning to check how much progress I’ve made with my training and music. So I started my vocal Riaz at home by myself, e

With 2 Rs. 200 crores films, 1 Rs. 100 crores flick and 2 major blockbusters on OTT, BIRTHDAY girl Kiara Advani has the best and the most ENVIABLE track record in Bollywood at present!

Image
Post-pandemic, the box office track record of several celebrities have taken a beating. Films which were supposed to work big time or at least open well failed miserably at the ticket window. However, there’s one celebrity who has proved to be an exception and whose star power has instead increased in this period. And that’s none other than Kiara Advani, who celebrates her 30th birthday today. Earlier this year, she was a part of the horror comedy  Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 . It was a blockbuster and a rare Bollywood film which managed to work at the box office, collecting a mind-boggling Rs. 185.92 crores. Her presence brought a lot of appeal and she maintained a strong position despite the presence of Kartik Aaryan, Tabu and other talented artists. A month later, she joined Varun Dhawan, Anil Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor in  JugJugg Jeeyo . In all honesty, one expected this film to be a Rs. 100 crores grosser. Its lifetime ended at around Rs. 85 crores. Nevertheless, it’s considered a healthy

Does Shamshera’s debacle affect the release strategy and buzz of Ranbir Kapoor’s upcoming film, Brahmastra? Trade experts share their views

Image
Ranbir Kapoor’s next film,  Brahmastra ,   will be releasing 1 ½ month from now. This big-budget film carries strong buzz due to the superhero element, VFX, pairing with wife Alia Bhatt and the super-hit song  ‘Kesariya’ . However, will  Shamshera ’s debacle affect the release strategy and buzz of  Brahmastra ? None of the trade experts feels that  Brahmastra  is in a spot. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh said, “ Brahmastra  is a different film. Of course, one would invariably talk about it after the debacle of  Shamshera . I guess we’ll have to wait and watch how that film fares. Eventually, the film does the talking, irrespective of the cast. In the case of  Shamshera , you had the best of making stars, production house etc. The actors promoted it extensively. Yet, it’s a complete disaster.” Girish Johar, producer and film business analyst, agreed, “Each film is different. The buzz remains intact for  Brahmastra .” Trade analyst Atul Mohan opined, “You can’t compare  Shamshera  and  B

REVEALED: Here’s why Rohit Shetty and Kanika Dhillon have been thanked in Ek Villain Returns

Image
The suspense thriller Ek Villain Returns released today and is expected to embark upon a good start. Starring John Abraham, Arjun Kapoor, Disha Patani and Tara Sutaria, the Mohit Suri-directorial reportedly has quite a few surprises and twists in the tale. Interestingly, this aspect starts at the very beginning of the film, during the disclaimer slates. Under ‘Special Thanks’, several people have been mentioned. However, two names stand out – blockbuster director Rohit Shetty and acclaimed writer Kanika Dhillon, of  Kedarnath  (2018),  Rashmi Rocket  (2021) and the upcoming  Raksha Bandhan  and  Dunki  fame. The reason these two names grab attention is that they have not worked with Mohit Suri before. Moreover, their zone of cinema is different from that of Mohit Suri. Bollywood Hungama  has learnt that Mohit Suri has been signed by Rohit Shetty’s production house, Rohit Shetty Productions. Mohit was supposed to make the film with the same script as  Ek Villain Returns  with Rohit.
