Abhishek Bachchan: Unfortunately, the audience’s focus had shifted to the box office.

When the Covid pandemic hit, Abhishek Bachchan’s last five films all came out at the same time. Ludo, The Big Bull, Breathe- Into The Shadows, Bob Biswas, and, most recently, Dasvi have all released direct to the web, with the exception of Breathe, which was originally a web show.

While movie theatres are getting back on track, so is talk about box office numbers. When his films had to go overboard, the 46-year-old was unconcerned. “I’m an actor, and it’s my job to act.” Obviously, we prefer being on the big screen, but I believe that being on a streaming platform has a significant advantage in terms of reach. “The audience here is much larger than in theatres,” he explains.

He goes on to say that the film’s penetration into the interior parts is incredible. “Whether it’s Ludo or The Big Bull, I heard that 400 million people would be able to access Dasvi via the internet. At the touch of a button, or in your palm. Even if 10% of that number decided to see it in theatres for the sake of argument, that’s 40 million people. Take the average ticket price in India, which is 120, and do the math. The figure is astounding. They’re right there, the types of people who will watch the movie,” Bachchan explains. In the third season of Breathe, he will next be seen.

What began a few years ago, and continues to this day, is that even ordinary people who make up a film’s audience began rating it based on its box office receipts. “It’s great that OTT platforms don’t make this information public.” Unfortunately, the audience’s focus had shifted to box office over time. For the longest time, for 80-90 years, the question was whether or not the film was good. “The number of days a theatre was open was the focus, and whether the film was good or not was an afterthought,” he recalls.

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”

In response to food blogger Nalini Unagar’s “proud to be a vegetarian” tweet, actor Swara Bhasker attacked Unagar. On Sunday, Nalini posted a photo of her lunch at X. It included a paneer dish and fried rice.

What was said by the food blogger?
Nalini shared the picture and added, “I’m happy to be a vegetarian. There are no more tears, cruelty, or guilt on my platter.”

This is Swara’s response.
In response, Swara penned, “To be honest… I find vegetarians’ arrogant self-righteousness to be incomprehensible. Denying the calf its mother’s milk, forcing cows to become pregnant, ripping them from their calves, and taking their milk are the main components of your diet.”

Furthermore, she said, “You eat root vegetables? That eliminates the entire plant! Just because it’s Bakr Eid, don’t stress about virtue signalling (folded hands emojis). June 16–17 is when Bakr Eid, or Eid al-Adha, is observed.

Swara just had her Eid celebration.
A few months after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Swara posted a tweet. She celebrated the occasion with her daughter Raabiyaa and spouse Fahad Ahmad. On her Instagram Stories, Swara posted snippets of her Eid festivities. Swara and Raabiyaa were shown in one of the stories pointing at the Eid ka Chaand. Another photo shows Swara, her daughter, and Fahad posing as a family. Fahad is Muslim, but Swara is Hindu.

When Swara discussed the cultures of her and Fahad
Swara performed a chhathi puja for Raabiyaa the previous year. She revealed tidbits from the festivities and reported discovering shared cultural experiences with Fahad’s family. “The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are,” Swara had wrote. She therefore has 62.5% UP, 12.5% Bihar, and 25% Andhra. Furthermore, I support representation and am always up for a celebration! Furthermore, since our wedding, we’ve learned that Muslims and Hindus in North India have common cultural customs, which strengthens my conviction that, despite our variety, love and joy will always find a language.”

“Chhathhi, or the sixth day of a child’s birth, is celebrated throughout UP Bihar. Mom and kid dress in the colour of turmeric or haldi, and aunts or bua put kaajal on the child and parents to protect them from ‘nazar,’ or the evil eye! I’m performing a well-known “sohar”—celebration songs for new babies. Although sohars are often used to celebrate newborn boys, I customised it for a newborn girl—oh! And although sisters and aunts sing the sohars, mothers don’t, so I thought, “Why not?” Dholak aa gaya hai! Thank you to @manisha2967 for the Chhathhi lesson and the beautiful singing I was able to do, and to Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that helped make my singing pleasant.
