Naseeruddin Shah, who saw Manthan at Cannes nearly 50 years after its premiere, “could hardly hold back tears.”

Nearly 50 years after its premiere, actor Naseeruddin Shah talked about being a part of the 77th Cannes Film Festival screening of his 1976 film Manthan. The actor described it as a “terribly emotional experience” in an interview with Brut India. In addition, he declared that he had never felt more proud of this movie. In addition, Naseeruddin claimed that walking the red carpet and taking part in the film festival seemed surreal to him.”

Naseeruddin recalls Amrish Puri, Girish Karnad, and Smita Patil.

Naseeruddin remarked, “It didn’t seem real.” I’ve always seen the red carpet event on film or in pictures. I’ve witnessed these stunning women strutting around in their exquisite clothes. I had no idea that one day I would be involved in it. So my wife and I tried to make things as easy as we could. It was also, naturally, an extremely emotional event. because a large number of pals were in the movie. Girish was my instructor and a buddy. He oversaw FTII as its director. Amrish and Smita were close friends. They are all no longer present.”

Naseeruddin found it difficult to control his tears.

“So many faces which one had sort of slipped one’s memory,” he said. To see everyone once more who was taken into the facility, nearly everyone who used to be there… I had never felt more proud of a movie than I did at that moment. This movie has always held a special place in my heart. I was so moved by the event that I found it difficult to control my emotions. Furthermore, I think the movie has endured the test of time rather well.”

Concerning Manthan

Shyam Benegal’s Manthan was influenced by Verghese Kurien’s groundbreaking milk cooperative initiative. It takes place against the backdrop of India’s White Revolution. Thank you to all 500,000 farmers who contributed ₹2 apiece to the film’s crowdfunder. Apart from Naseeruddin, other actors who appeared in the movie were Girish Karnad, Amrish Puri, Mohan Agashe, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Smita Patil, and Anant Nag.

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.
