When Gulzar claimed that lines behind trucks served as inspiration for Kajra Re in Bunty Aur Babli

On Thursday, veteran lyricist-poet, author, and filmmaker Gulzar turns 88. He has explored many songs and given words to a wide range of human emotions throughout the course of a career spanning more than six decades. When he composed Aishwarya Rai’s dance song for the movie Bunty Aur Babli, Gulzar surprised everyone with an item number.

Amitabh Bachchan, his son Abhishek Bachchan, and the latter’s wife Aishwarya all danced together in the Shaad Ali-directed film Kajra Re. The movie came out in 2005.

Gulzar had stated to Hindustan Times in 2006 in regards to the song’s lyrics, “Serious poetry would have been out of place here. The lyrics on the trucks that are rushing up and down the highways in north India are the main source of inspiration for the song. Keep in mind that the female lead comes from a Punjabi family. She speaks a little bit of English because she wants to compete in beauty pageants. The boy is also from a small town and is eager to advance in life.

The multi-hyphenated musician Gulzar, who was born Sampoorna Singh Kalra, has given the country a new lexicon to love and live with. In the beginning, he travelled with Mera Gora Rang Lei Le (Bandini, 1963). He has received the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, the Sahitya Akademi Award, and the Padma Bhushan Award. Gulzar has received 21 Filmfare Awards, five National Film Awards, a Grammy Award, and an Oscar for his song Jai Ho from Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire.

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”

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.
