Madhuri Dixit’s line from The Fame Game roasting privileged ‘young stars’ is a hit: ‘Apply some ice on burnt areas’
Fans of the web series Game of Fame reacted to a scene in which Madhuri Dixit’s character, actress Anamika Anand, mocked a young actor asking for her blessing, pointing out their age difference. In the above scene, Madhuri is greeted at an event by actress Jaslyn, played by Pooja Bhamrrah, who is full of praise for her. She said she was a huge Anamika fan and grew up watching her films. Then, she took Madhuri’s hand and put it on her head, begging her to bless her, while the paparazzi standing outside gasped.
At first, Madhuri Dixit looked shocked but then laughed and said, “You don’t need my blessings really. You young stars these days have PR, stylists, trainers, you have everything. Actually, you don’t even need talent, let alone my blessings.” This led to Pooja’s character Jaslyn smiling nervously as she was left embarrassed.
A screenshot of the scene was shared on Reddit with the caption “Put some ice on the burnt place!” In response, one wrote, “Madhuri is spreading the truth.” Another said, “Madhuri would love this scene and conversational.” “I’m enjoying the whole conversation between them. A lot of truth has been told in this series so far,” said one fan.
“And this series is from Bodhidharma…” said another. “It’s ironic that Karan (Johar) made this,” commented one. “Karan likes to play both sides and he ended up having the last laugh,” one person wrote. “Madhuri woke up and chose violence,” another posted.
One fan wrote: “Wow wow wow (wow) standing ovation for Madhuri and the author.” Madhuri is the last queen! I am sorry. Uske baad sab dies temporarily (all temporary after her). Sri (Sridevi), Madhuri are different,” one wrote. “Madhuri Mama: I’m ending these kids’ entire careers! “The game of fame is like Bollywood trolling itself,” said one fan. I love how the writers use their creative freedom to shoot on Bollywood movies without their LMAO name,” commented one.
The Hindustan Times commented: “Through eight 45-minute episodes, we get tropes already associated with celebrity lives: extramarital affairs, stalkers, financial problems, family problems, troubled childhoods, works. But all of this All perfected in an extremely riveting script by Sri Rao and co-writers Shreya Bhattacharya, Akshat Ghildial, Amita Vyas and Nisha Mehta, directed by Bejoy Nambiar and Karishma Kohli from their superstar leadership and an interesting cast of actors around them.”
Game of Fame is directed by filmmakers Bejoy Nambiar and Karishma Kohli, with Hindi dialogue written by Amita Vyas, Akshat Ghildial and Shreya Bhattacharya. The series, currently on Netflix, also stars Sanjay Kapoor, Manav Kaul, Lakshvir Saran, Suhasini Mulay and Muskkaan Jaferi.

HBO defends JK Rowling’s involvement in Harry Potter series despite problematic stance on transgender community
JK Rowling, whose Harry Potter book franchise gave Warner Bros a blockbuster film franchise, is also associated with its upcoming HBO series.
JK Rowling has remained decidedly steadfast on her controversial stance on the transgender community. In a statement to Variety, HBO explained why the author is still involved in its upcoming series on Harry Potter despite her problematic gender politics. (Also Read: This Oscar-nominated actor lost out on Luna Lovegood role in Harry Potter, says how it ‘stayed with me over the years’)
What HBO said
“We are proud to once again tell the story of Harry Potter — the heartwarming books that speak to power of friendship, resolve and acceptance. JK Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement,” HBO’s statement stated.
It also added that its parent company Warner Bros “been working with JK Rowling and in the Harry Potter business for over 20 years” and “her contribution has been invaluable.” The report also states that HBO chief Casey Bloys informed the media at an event on November 12 that JK Rowling was “very, very involved in the process selecting the writer and the director,” and her anti-trans statements “haven’t affected the casting or hiring of writers or productions staff.”
A couple of days before that, Rowling had shared a screenshot of a tweet by an X user who wrote, “My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined” when the author had revealed that she’s “very involved” in the Harry Potter series. Rowling wrote along with the screenshot, “I’ve only just seen this response to me saying I’m very involved in the Harry Potter TV show and I think I’ve pulled something laughing.”
About Harry Potter series
Warner Bros launched an open casting call for the leads Harry, Hermoine and Ron, who were played by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, respectively, in the eight-part movie franchise.
The series will most likely go ahead with newcomers for the top three characters and mix it with veterans for the adult cast, like the movie franchise, which featured Richard Harris as Dumbledore and roped in Michael Gambon after his death. Late star Maggie Smith played Professor McGonagall, and Alan Rickman starred as Professor Snape.
Mark Rylance, 64, who won an Academy Award for best supporting actor in 2016 for his work in Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies, is reportedly at the top of the casting wishlist to play Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series.
