She also emphasised the importance of unity within the entertainment community. “The strength of the Pakistani community is remarkable, and I hope we continue to stand by and support each other in whichever way we can.”

Hania also paid tribute to the women in the entertainment industry who paved the way for future generations. “I will do everything in my capacity to make it easier for others to come,” she added.

Forget plot twists – the real shock in ‘The White Lotus’ was the pay structure

The third season of The White Lotus may have just ended, but the buzz around the show isn’t just about plot twists or who didn’t survive the finale. It’s about money or more specifically, how everyone in the cast, from seasoned stars to first-time actors, gets paid exactly the same.

That’s right. Whether you’re a household name or a newcomer, once you’re cast in The White Lotus, your paycheque is identical to your co-stars’. Around $40,000 an episode so about £31,000 is what each cast member pockets, no matter how many awards they’ve won or followers they have online.

Tillotama Shome recalls a director telling her she'd "never earn that kind of money" and how she proved him wrong

There was a time when Tillotama Shome’s dream of owning a specific car was laughed off not by strangers, but by a director she worked with. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter India, the actor, known for her strong, nuanced performances in films and shows like Paatal Lok, Delhi Crime, and Sir, recalled a moment early in her career that stung more than she expected.

During a casual chat at a wrap party, when someone asked the team what they were currently longing for, Tillotama mentioned a car she’d set her heart on. She believed that if she got the right project, paid well enough, she could afford it. That’s when the director, who had paid her poorly for the project, cut in and told her point-blank: “You’ll never make that kind of money. You’re talented, yes, but the industry doesn’t work that way.”

Leicester Square to honour Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in London's first ever Bollywood statue

A moment from one of Indian cinema’s most iconic love stories is set to find a permanent place in the heart of London. This spring, a bronze statue of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, captured mid-scene from the 1995 romantic classic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ), will be installed in Leicester Square. This marks the first time a Bollywood film is being honoured in the UK capital’s renowned ‘Scenes in the Square’ movie trail.

Unveiled as part of the lead-up to the film’s 30th anniversary in October 2025, the statue will stand outside the Odeon cinema, near the spot where the film’s lead characters, Raj and Simran, unknowingly crossed paths. That brief moment in Leicester Square becomes the starting point of their unforgettable journey through Europe and India, which later became a story that left an imprint on generations of fans.
