Sunil Grover opens up about female attention post the runaway success of Bharat

Sunil Grover, who is still remembered for his portrayal as Gutthi and Dr Mashoor Gulati on Indian television, is on cloud nine these days. He was most recently seen in superstar Salman Khan’s Eid release, Bharat (2019), which turned out to be a massive hit at the box-office. Despite the presence of several experienced actors on the ensemble star cast, Sunil Grover did not only manage to stand out but also received great response for his endearing performance in the film.

His life has changed a little after the stupendous success of the film. Besides being flooded with loads of compliments, the actor is also enjoying great female attention post the runaway success of the Ali Abbas Zafar directorial. “I get so many compliments. But when women and girls come and give compliments is always special. They say, “You are a good looking man, looked good in the film”. There is this female attention now. I am not used to such compliments.”

Recalling one such compliment which touched his heart, Sunil Grover says, “One old Punjabi lady came up to me and said, “Son, you are such a good-looking man!” That was something special.”

Before Bharat, Sunil Grover garnered praises for his outstanding performances in films like Pataakha (2018) and Baaghi (2016). The actor says that he loves playing various characters in films. “I feel I am on a journey where I have to explore many things. I love playing characters in this medium (films). The journey has started well. I want to do so many characters, be it simple, complicated, funny, non-funny. It depends on what I get,” he signs off.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
