Kartik Aaryan has no issues with taking pay cut if it helps the industry

Just like the rest of us, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018) star Kartik Aaryan has also been quarantining at his home ever since India went into complete lockdown more than two months ago. He keeps sharing oodles of content on social media to keep himself and his fans entertainer in these tough times.

The rising Bollywood star was recently in conversation with a leading online publication wherein he spoke at length about a lot of things, ranging from the situation of the industry, shooting schedules in post-Coronavirus lockdown era, pay cuts, etc.


Talking about the situation of the industry, Aaryan said, “I would not want to cut down on people’s jobs. There has to be a solution wherein that problem also does not crop up and producers (who are getting affected due to the lockdown), are saved too. There has to be solution and a balance will come out. Whatever it takes for the industry to get together and start working, I think, I am up for it. I would do whatever collectively we decide to do.”

On pay cuts, he said, “If that is something that is going to help the industry, I think we all should do that. We should be up for it. We have taken a huge hit, as a country and as an industry also.”

On the work front, Kartik Aaryan has a number of projects lined up for release. He will next be seen in T-Series Films’ horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Helmed by Anees Bazmee, the movie is a sequel to the 2007 blockbuster Bhool Bhulaiyaa. His next release will be Dharma Productions’ much-awaited comic-caper Dostana 2, co-starring Janhvi Kapoor and debutant Lakshya.

Nick Jonas says it's 'scary' to imagine daughter Malti in showbiz after what he and Priyanka faced

Nick Jonas is no stranger to fame. From performing on Broadway as a child to becoming one-third of the Jonas Brothers, he’s spent most of his life under the spotlight. His wife, Priyanka Chopra, entered the world of glamour as a teenager, winning Miss World at 18 before making it big in Bollywood and then Hollywood. So, it’s only natural that people are curious whether their daughter, Malti Marie, might follow in their footsteps.

During a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Nick opened up about the possibility. When asked whether he’d be okay with his daughter getting into the entertainment industry at a young age, he paused before saying it’s a decision she’ll have to make herself. While three-year-old Malti already enjoys singing, Nick admitted that the idea of her stepping into such a demanding field so early is unsettling.

Akshay Kumar tells King Charles to watch Kesari 2: “You’ll know why the British should say sorry”

Akshay Kumar isn’t asking for an apology. He just wants the British to look back and really see what happened. With his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2 hitting screens on April 18, the actor is urging both the UK government and King Charles to watch the film and confront a dark chapter in colonial history.

The film, directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and based on The Case That Shook the Empire by Raghu and Pushpa Palat, tells the story of C. Sankaran Nair, a Malayali lawyer who took legal action against General Dyer and the British government after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919. The massacre when British troops opened fire on a peaceful crowd remains one of the most horrific events of British rule in India.
