Actor Pankaj Jha from Panchayat describes Anurag Kashyap as “timid and spineless” for betraying his word in Gangs of Wasseypur.

In an interview , Pankaj Jha, who portrayed the cunning Vidhayak Ji in TVF’s Panchayat series, disclosed that he was first considered for the Sultan Qureshi part in Gangs of Wasseypur but lost out to Pankaj Tripathi. Critics and viewers alike have praised Anurag Kashyap’s direction work, Gangs of Wasseypur, which is regarded as one of his best works.

“Violated his pledge”
One of the main characters in Gangs of Wasseypur was Sultan Qureshi. Pankaj Jha was the first pick, though. Afterwards, Pankaj Tripathi was cast, though. Formerly, Jha and Anurag Kashyap worked together on Gulaal and Black Friday, but they parted ways for Gangs of Wasseypur. The 47-year-old actor elaborated on the situation by saying that he received the offer while in Patna for a shoot. He assured Kashyap that he would return in two days and that he would do the part. However, Pankaj Tripathi had already been cast as Sultan by the time he returned.

If Jha was harmed by the filmy politics, the hosts questioned. The Black Friday star declared that he didn’t care about the politics going on behind his back and that the “backstabbers” would prevail if he allowed them to harm him. Once more, the hosts questioned him about if landing Sultan’s role would have changed the course of his career because it made Pankaj Tripathi more well-known. Jha, however, claimed he was content and didn’t want to look back.

“Actor who directs”
Pankaj described himself as an actor who directs. “As much as Satya and Gulaal develop actors, they also develop directors,” he remarked. But they can’t even honour their word because there are so many cowardly and feckless people here. He went on to say that he was no longer resentful of Anurag Kashyap. “But even so, I still adore Anurag and have no grudges against anyone.”

Former student of the National School of Drama (NSD) Pankaj Jha gained notoriety for his portrayal of Vidhayak Chandrakishore Singh in the sitcom Panchayat. In Mira Nair’s 2001 film Monsoon Wedding, he played his debut role. In addition, he starred in the films Anwar (2007), Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi (2003), Matrubhoomi (2003), and Company (2002).

Jha recently charged Tripathi with stealing “another actor’s slippers” and glamorising his struggles.

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.
