Taapsee Pannu is undoubtedly one of the most talented actresses of Bollywood. She has some interesting films in her kitty right now, and a few days ago, there were reports that the actress has been approached for the biopic on the captain of Indian women's cricket team, Mithali Raj. It was said that she has given her nod for the film

However, recently during an event when Taapsee was asked about being offered the biopic, she said, "If I get it then it will be amazing to play cricket. You all (media) please recommend my name to them (the makers). I wish I get to play this role. I really wanted to get signed for that film.”


Well, Taapsee would clearly be the perfect choice to play Mithali Raj on the big screen.

The actress is gearing up for the release of Mission Mangal which is slated to release on 15th August 2019. The movie also stars Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Kirti Kulhari, Sharman Joshi and Nithya Menen.

Apart from Mission Mangal, Taapsee will also be seen this year in Saand Ki Aankh. The teaser of the film was released a couple of days ago and it has impressed one and all. While talking about the film, Taapsee said, "It is one of the challenging roles of my career. I feel making a decision of taking up acting wasn't as challenging than taking up this role but I have no regrets about it. I am very excited and anxious about the film, especially after getting a good response to the teaser. The level of excitement has gone up in me and Bhumi. I am waiting for Diwali as it's the time when our film will be released.”

Saand Ki Aankh is a biopic on shooter dadis, Chandro Tomar and Prakashi Tomar. We are surely quite excited to see their story on the big screen.

MRI injection linked to rare deadly health risk, study finds

A new study has raised concerns over the use of a common chemical injected during MRI scans, suggesting it may contribute to a potentially fatal complication in rare cases.

Researchers from the University of New Mexico have found that gadolinium – a toxic rare earth metal used in MRI contrast agents – can interact with oxalic acid found in many foods to form nanoparticles in human tissues. These particles could potentially lead to serious health problems affecting organs such as the kidneys.

Comment: It’s time for a clear plan on immigration

The immigration white paper has been delayed to after the May local elections. The delay is sensible, as US president Donald Trump’s tariff games make economic conditions less predictable than ever, but necessary too. UK government ministers know how they want to talk about immigration – that control matters – but are torn about what policies that leads to.

There are real dilemmas of control. Downing Street and the Home Office want overall numbers to come down, but chafe at the Treasury constraint of making the fiscal numbers still add up. Health secretary Wes Streeting wants to invest more in NHS training, but not to turn away doctors and nurses who could reduce waiting lists in the meantime. With university finances more fragile than ever, education secretary Bridget Phillipson does not want to push half a dozen local universities over the brink to deliver a statistic on immigration.

Aimee Lou Wood criticises SNL’s ‘White Potus’ parody for mocking her teeth

Aimee Lou Wood, star of The White Lotus, recently found herself at the centre of controversy after a parody of her character aired on Saturday Night Live (SNL). The skit, a political spoof titled The White Potus, humorously exaggerated aspects of the show, but for Wood, it went too far. Comedian Sarah Sherman impersonated Wood's character, Chelsea, with oversized prosthetic teeth. For Aimee Lou, this portrayal hit a nerve, and she openly criticised it.

Taking to Instagram, the actress expressed her discontent, calling the parody “mean and unfunny.” She argued that while she understood SNL was known for satire, the skit could have been executed with more sophistication and less cheap humour. Wood, who has always been open about her unique appearance, especially her noticeable gap teeth, clarified that she doesn't mind caricatures or playful jabs, but felt this one crossed a line. “I have big gap teeth, not bad teeth,” she wrote, pointing out that the entire joke seemed to target her appearance rather than the content of the skit.
