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.

Stephanie Hsu and Zosia Mamet talk about their new series Laid, and some of the horrors of dating as millennials.
Imagine a scenario where anyone and everyone you have ever been intimate with begins to die one by one. Is it a curse? If yes, then who is cursed? These are questions that Stephanie Hsu‘s Ruby battles with in the new zany comedy, Laid. Ahead of the show’s release, Stephanie and co-star Zosia Mamet spoke exclusively with HT about their roles, the show’s unique premise, and the horrors of dating as millennials.

Stephanie Hsu on her character’s flawed morality

Laid, created by Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna, is the story of Ruby (Stephanie Hsu), who discovers that all her sexual partners are dying one by one, and she must warn them. Helping her in this unique quest is her best friend AJ (Zosia). The fun thing about Laid is that the protagonists are not the usual likeable characters. “She is totally an anti-hero of our story. I really love that,” says Stephanie, referring to Ruby’s moral greyness. “I am not a perfect person and I love playing flawed characters. But it was difficult. The creators told me that she is a total narcissist. But narcissists don’t think they are one, so I had to figure out a way to love her. For me, playing Ruby was about getting into her psychology and finding the innocent part of her – which is that she just wants love,” the actor adds.

While sitcoms usually add the best friend as the voice of reason trope, Laid diverges from that, with AJ even zanier and more morally ambiguous than Ruby. Talking about playing such a colourful character, Zosia Mamet says, “When you play not-so-likable or zany characters, people don’t believe they are that way. I don’t think AJ wakes up every morning and thinks, ‘I am absolutely crazy’. It’s about trusting the writing and finding an organic way into these characters to make them seem grounded, real, and relatable.”

Stephanie, Zosia reveal the worst gifts they received from partners

In Laid, Ruby gives the gift of death to the men she is with, even if that is inadvertent. Ask the women about the worst ‘gift’ a partner has ever given them, and the discussions veer into the unusual horrors of modern-day dating. “I got a vintage wooden duck decoy from someone. It was broken, and I thought, ‘What does this say about our relationship?’. They didn’t know me well enough to know if I’d want this but also that they gave me something old and ailing,” Zosia says with a laugh.
