Prakash Jha criticises ‘top’ actors for selling gutkhas: What are they doing?
Prakash Jha, a director and producer, has complained of “great, renowned actors” selling gutkha (tobacco) and refusing to appear in his movies. Prakash addressed his earlier remark that he finds it difficult to cast stars in a new interview. He added that it had been a while since he had worked on a movie with a “huge celebrity.” Prakash further stated that celebrities will “come to me instinctively” when they take time away from tobacco sales to concentrate on content.
When asked if he believed performers didn’t take responsibility for their work, he responded that they didn’t have the time since an actor who had “five flops” and was “shooting for 12 ad films” and collecting “10 crores for each of them” didn’t have the time. Additionally, Prakash stated that his “entirely is on content.”
Prakash stated in a conversation with Times of India, “There are 5 to 6 performers. Take a look at how these actors are doing. Why would they participate in one of my movies when they can make 50 crores from one gutkha advertisement? They are hawking gutkha, the actors. Can you picture it? What exactly are these renowned performers doing? For location scouting, we had visited a school. I was questioned by the school’s principal what I was doing in the Mumbai film industry. Our school’s male students have been observed chewing gutkha. There are large billboards set up where all of our great personalities are selling various varieties of gutkhas (tobaccos) and paan masalas as you travel through the northern cities of Lucknow, Prayagraj, and Mugalsarai.”
When discussing the “star system,” he stated, “What are the options for the system? Unless and until we make changes to the way we make movies. The subject comes first in the making of a movie, not the budget. It all begins with the love of filmmaking. With the 500 crore funding you have, it cannot begin, therefore everything is possible. That is what is taking place. I haven’t even rested for a day. I haven’t stopped creating content. Although I haven’t recently produced a movie with a major star, I have produced other things. I’m content with that, so it’s fine. Stars will naturally contact me when they want to concentrate on content rather than selling gutkhas.”
Additionally, he created the web series Aashram, which includes Vikram Kochhar, Bobby Deol, Aaditi Pohankar, Darshan Kumar, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Tushar Pandey, and Anupriya Goenka among others. The first season debuted on MX Player in August 2020, followed by the second season in November 2020 on the OTT service. The series has been renewed for a fourth season, which is anticipated to premiere next year. The third season debuted in June 2022.

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.
