Masumeh Makhija: I’m not ambitious

Actress Masumeh Makhija, who has a pivotal role in the ensemble cast film 3 STOREYS, says she is not an ambitious person and has a creative bent of mind.

Masumeh has received a positive response for her performance in 3 STOREYS and she is happy about the projects she has done so far.

"I have worked with some of the very good filmmakers so far — whether it is Vishalji (Vishal Bhardwaj) in MAQBOOL or Mahesh Bhatt saab (producer of WOH LAMHE) because they come up with a clarity that they look for in the character.

"I think that is what helped me to perform. I am really thankful to people who loved my performance. I am not traditionally ambitious," Masumeh told IANS.

That is also perhaps why she does not appear in films often.

"I am more of a creative person rather than ambitious. So, the journey is quite internal. I want to try out new things as a creative person… So, the length of a role never matters to me, but the challenges and substance of it do," she added.

In 3 STOREYS, Masumeh plays a housewife named Varsha, who is abused by her husband all her life.

On her role, she said: "While I connected with the character immediately during the narration of the film, I think the best part of her is when she fights back and retaliates by informing the police about the domestic violence she faced."

As for her future in films, Masumeh said she is reading a lot of scripts.

Without unveiling much about her upcoming projects, she shared a wish-list of directors she wants to work with.

"I want to work with Vishal Bhardwaj, Aditya Chopra, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and any new director who prioritises story and actors over a star," said Masumeh, who finds the changed approach towards storytelling quite interesting.

Model Amber Rose has slammed social media users who shamed her son Sebastian on his reaction upon getting a gift from singer Taylor Swift.

Sebastian, 5, is a big fan of Swift.

In an Instagram videos shared by Rose, Sebastian was seen looking very excited when Swift sent him a special package of her album "Reputation". He also received concert tickets as well as a note from the singer. He then gave a big smile to the camera and said, "Thanks, Taylor".

Instagram users flooded the comment section of the post with negative responses. Many of them judged her son for his musical taste and even called him "gay" for liking Swift.

Rose took down the critics in a long note on the photosharing website, reports eonline.com.

"Shout out to all of the hyper masculine men and ignorant dumba** women that will call a five-year-old gay for liking Taylor Swift. This is why young kids kill themselves and this is also why our society is so f***ed up. Liking a certain type of music will not make you 'pick' your sexuality," she wrote.

Rose said she allows her son to be himself.

"He can listen to whatever music he likes, he can like whatever colour he wants and we let him be passionate about whatever his little heart desires.

"We don't make our son live by society norms that's why he's so special. P.S. my son just got accepted into the most prestigious private school in Los Angeles because he's smart and creative like his parents," she added.

"Regardless if he's gay or straight, when he gets older he will be around the most amazing loving people that will support him no matter what".
