A few days ago, Amitabh Bachchan recovered from COVID-19 and now, the 77-year-old actor is back to work. He has started shooting for Kaun Banega Crorepati season 12.

The megastar took to Instagram to inform his fans about it. He posted a picture from the sets and wrote, “.. it’s back to work .. in a sea of blue PPE .. KBC 12 .. started 2000 .. today year 2020 .. 20 years ! Amaze .. that’s a lifetime !!”

In this blog, Big B wrote that there are precautions being taken on the sets. He wrote, "It has begun... the chair, the atmosphere, the KBC 12... started year 2000... today year 2020... unimaginable that the years have passed... that the show has lasted... that the nerves are back... it's a sea of limited blue on set...quiet...conscious...each delegated work routine...precautions, systems, distanced masks, sanitised and the apprehensions of not just what shall happen to the show but what shall the world look like after this dread vid-19. Getting in front of the cameras again...was it weird, different feel after this long furlough... dunno."

He further added, “There is a loss of camaraderie... no one speaks unless it's work related... it's like a laboratory where some rather deep scientific experiments abound... this was never expected... never the time to see such visuals... but there it is...recognised faces now unrecognisable... and the doubts whether we are in the right place, with the right people... but... we muster up the fears and be on... there is great consideration and care being extended... all precautions carefully worked out and followed... precautions were there earlier too in times of distress... but this time its severe... its personal... this time, they know its fatality, god forbid... and that lingers... the light-heartedness has sealed itself... isolated... do the do and leave."

Talking about Amitabh Bachchan’s movies, the megastar was last seen in Gulabo Sitabo which had got a direct-to-digital release on Amazon Prime Video. He has films like Chehre, Brahmastra, Jhund, and Uyarndha Manithan (Tamil) in his kitty.

Rami Malek and Indira Varma star in The Old Vic’s Oedipus adaptation

The Old Vic in London has unveiled its latest production, a fresh adaptation of Sophocles’ timeless tragedy Oedipus, featuring Academy Award winner Rami Malek and Olivier Award winner Indira Varma in the lead roles. The play, which runs until March 29, 2025, promises to be a gripping reimagining of the ancient Greek tale, blending drama, dance, and music under the co-direction of Matthew Warchus and choreographer Hofesh Shechter.

Malek takes on the role of Oedipus, the king determined to save his city from a devastating plague by uncovering the truth behind the murder of his predecessor, King Laius. Varma plays Jocasta, Oedipus’ wife, whose connection to the unfolding tragedy adds layers of complexity to the story. The production also features a strong supporting cast, including Nicholas Khan as Creon, Joseph Mydell as the Corinthian, Cecilia Noble as Tiresias, and Nicholas Woodeson as the Shepherd. The Hofesh Shechter Company’s dancers bring a different energy to the stage, strengthening the emotional intensity of the whole narrative.

"I didn't know what sexy meant": Jennifer Love Hewitt reflects on being sexualized as a teenager

Jennifer Love Hewitt recently reflected on her early years in Hollywood, revealing how she was sexualised as a teenager without fully understanding it at the time. In a candid conversation on Mayim Bialik’s 'Breakdown' podcast, the 45-year-old actress shared that at just 16, she was subjected to inappropriate comments from grown men about her body, particularly her breasts. These remarks were often made openly in interviews, which Hewitt now finds disturbing, given the context of her age.

Hewitt, who became famous after starring in I Know What You Did Last Summer in 1997, recalled how the attention on her physical appearance increased after she appeared on the cover of 'Maxim' in 1999. Men would approach her, mentioning how they took her magazine on trips, but at the time, she didn’t fully grasp the sexual undertones of these comments. “I didn’t know what that meant,” she admitted, adding that it felt strange to be labelled a sex symbol before even knowing what being "sexy" meant.
