Over a course of several months, I spoke to the woman who was sexually assaulted by Queen director Vikas Bahl. Her traumatic testimony was corroborated by several people from the industry, including Kashyap, who says he failed her. Here's her story: huffingtonpost.in/2018/10/06/que…

A phenomenal night at Mumbai’s Carter Rd. The directors (Kashyap, Bhardwaj, Sinha, Akhtar) calmly directed, the singers and poets sang and recited, the actors (Richa, Taapsee, Dia, Swara, Ali) chimed in, the audiences watched and participated. Truly a Bombay blockbuster.

Was in an Uber. Muslim driver. From Vrindavan. Studied in a school that was in a temple. We talk as I’m headed to a protest venue. “Sir, main hospital mein nahi, chaar-pai pe paida hua hoon. Maa baap unpad. Kahan se laoon kagaz?” Could sense his anxiety. He kept talking (1)

“I love her even more. She is a source of my strength even though she is the one in jail. She is my life partner, the mother of our child. To go through such a horrid experience together only strengthens our relationship,” Saboor Sirwal, Safoora’s husband huffingtonpost.in/entry/safoora-…

Entering 30s so tricky. Relationships are still fickle and nobody prepares you for the emotional toll of seeing parents grow old and vulnerable. While you are busy chasing your dreams, one day you return home to see that those you derived your strength from have become so fragile

Will never forget what I witnessed in Bombay tonight. Writers, directors, actors, journalists, everyone came together to oppose hate propelled by a govt at war with its own people. You bring the guns, we'll get the words. You get bigotry, and we'll slay it with poetry.

We live in a time when watching a film feels like an act of rebellion. #ISupportDeepika

Uber driver asked if he can make a call using his headphones (so he could still drive). I asked who to. He said, 'to my wife. Got married 2 months ago. She doesn't like to eat without me. So I keep her company while she has dinner." Now wife's dinning, dude's driving, I'm MELTING

Happy birthday @iamsrk your charm lies in the fact where every journalist believes that they got the best SRK interview. But I lucked out massively. Asked for 20 mins, got 3 hours 🙃 And an answer to ever question (without a PR nudging on the shoulder) huffingtonpost.in/2016/07/01/the…

He said that he shared a video on his FB about condemning the attack on JNU and his childhood buddy commented, “Goli marni chahiye saalon ko.” I’ve never seen anyone breakdown the way he did, as he narrated that. “Mere bhai hai wo. Saath mein badey hue. Kaisa ban gaya aisa woh?”

Absolutely exhilarating what Pathaan is managing to do. Timeline has turned festive. People sharing stories of hooting whistling screaming with joy. A slap on the faces of those who sell hate for a living. You’ve pathetic troll farms. We’ve Shah Rukh Khan.
