Shivin Narang reacts to news of Beyhadh 2 ending abruptly

The news of Sony Entertainment Television’s Beyhadh 2 bidding adieu to audiences amid the Coronavirus lockdown was as surprising for its lead actor Shivin Narang as it was for the diehard fans of the thriller series.

Talking to an Indian daily, Narang says, “I wish we could complete the end of this finite show as I feel that would have done justice to the show and the viewers. But it is not only us, the whole industry and, in fact, the entire world is suffering, so I can understand what may have prompted this decision.”


On being asked about the unpredictability of life amid the Coronavirus pandemic, the actor says, “We really do not know what the future holds. But we need to stay strong and follow guidelines to stay safe. My society had got sealed some time back and after 14 days, we were able to step out to buy essentials. It is important to understand the situation and react accordingly.”

Ask him if such turn of events worries him, and the actor shares, “To be honest, I have been in the industry for over eight years now. So, I feel a little more settled, unlike what it was initially. I am just hoping this gets over soon. I feel grateful to be with my family, that we have a house to stay and food to survive.”

Shivin Narang is spending a lot of time with his mother these days. He is even helping her in the kitchen and other household chores. “There is no help and it is not easy for one person to manage everything. I am also reading and binge-watching movies and series, and keeping a check on our diet,” signs off the actor.

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.

Salman Khan is stuck in the past

There have been many instances across generations where once-popular leading men, unwilling to grow old gracefully, have clung to past glories so desperately that they have ended up dismantling their own legacies.

These ageing Bollywood idols continued romancing inappropriately young heroines, playing roles far removed from their real age, and starring in outdated movies where their presence mattered more than the storyline.
