Sidharth Malhotra might topline Anees Baazmee's next

While his contemporary, Varun Dhawan, who started his career along with him with Karan Johar's Student Of The Year, is going places, actor Sidharth Malhotra is having a tough time in establishing his position in the industry. His last few films haven't performed well at the box office, and that is a great cause of worry for the actor.

He had a lot of hopes from his recent release, Aiyaari. However, despite being mounted on such a large scale with celebrated filmmaker Neeraj Pandey calling the shots, the movie fell flat at the cash counter, incurring heavy losses to the makers.


The latest we hear that filmmaker Anees Bazmee, who is known for his hit comic capers like Welcome, Welcome Back, Singh Is King and many more, has approached Sidharth to star in his next untitled project. Though all details related to the project are being kept under the wraps, some sources reveal that the actor might start working on Bazmee's film after completing the Vikram Batra biopic.

Besides the biopic on Vikram Batra, Sidharth has also signed the Hindi remake of the Kannada film Kirik Party.

From Anupama Parameswaran to Samantha Ruth Prabhu: Why the sexist ‘climber’ label follows women who date successful men

Highlights

  • Successful actresses are often accused of choosing relationships for money or status
  • The ‘gold digger’ and ‘climber’ labels can erase women’s own careers and financial independence
  • Anupama Parameswaran, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Sushmita Sen and Malaika Arora have all faced versions of the same narrative
  • Their responses show how female stars are increasingly refusing to accept the assumption that a relationship must have a financial motive

When a successful woman is linked to a wealthier or more powerful man, the question is often not whether she is happy, in love or making an independent choice. Instead, the conversation quickly turns to what she might gain from the relationship.

That is where the word ‘climber’ becomes revealing. It suggests that a woman is using a relationship to move upwards socially, financially or professionally, reducing a personal choice to a calculated transaction. In Indian celebrity culture, the label often appears alongside accusations of being a ‘gold digger’, particularly when a relationship ends.
