Amitabh Bachchan’s body to be fiddled around by doctors

0

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan says his team of doctors will fiddle around with his body and set him up again.

"I am getting my team of Doctors in tomorrow morning to fiddle around with my body and set me up again. I will rest and keep informed in process," the 75-year-old posted on his blog on Tuesday morning.

"Ya. So, it's 5 a.m. The morning after the night that began yesterday…for work. Some people need to work for a living and work hard."

The cine icon had revealed last year that he had been nursing a stiff neck and shoulder pain as a result of past injuries from stunts he did in the 1970s and 1980s.

He is currently shooting for THUGS OF HINDOSTAN here.

"It's been rough. But whenever did any be achieved without it. There is struggle and disappointment and pain and sweat and tears. Then the expectation of all working out. Sometimes it does, most of the times not. That not is the catalyst.

"When they say not, it is the right impetus to say and deliver that it has been successful and achieved," he wrote on the blog.

THUGS OF HINDOSTAN, which also stars Aamir Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Katrina Kaif, will release during Diwali 2018.

Divya Khosla Kumar: I am concentrating on acting right now

0

An actress and director, Divya Khosla Kumar is a rare combination of both talents rolled into one in Bollywood. She says good acting offers are coming her way and she wants to concentrate on facing the camera as of now.

Divya, who debuted as an actress with AB TUMHARE HAWALE WATAN SAATHIYO, has directed YAARIYAN and SANAM RE. She faced the cameras last for a short film titled BULBUL.

"After BULBUL released, I've been getting very good acting offers. I am reading some of the scripts. Currently, I am open to acting, and I am just going to finalise what I am going to take up next," Divya told IANS.

What about her next directorial project?

"I will do it, but right now I have given it a break. I am concentrating on acting since I have got a few good scripts. So I think that's going to be the next thing," added Divya, who is married to T-Series head honcho Bhushan Kumar and is a mother of one.

Knowing the nuances of filmmaking, does she look into the finer details when she is acting for a project?

"I think I do, because I am a perfectionist. Direction has taught me everything, even acting, as when you're on the field, on the practical grounds, you do everything… It's not easy to make a film… It's very tough to make sure that the vision which starts from your mind comes alive on the screen, and to get people connected to what is there in your mind.

"I do look into the details, but I think all women are like that, they like to look into minute details, isn't it," she said, laughing.

Divya was in the capital last week to receive a Delhiite of The Year Award at the Delhiites Lifestyle Awards 2018. She was excited about receiving the award from former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit.

"When your hometown appreciates you, it means a lot," said Divya, who was born and brought up in the city.

"I am a simple girl and when people see me, they instantly judge by saying, 'You're from Delhi'. Maybe it's my accent or my simplicity… I don't know. Girls of Delhi are still simple and perhaps not as fast as in other cities.

"It's good to be simple and to have your head on your shoulders."

What is it about Delhi that you miss the most?

"I think it's the food, and I will miss it forever and ever. It is amazing. You can never get Delhi food anywhere in the country. That's for sure," gushed the actress-director.

She drools over the 'chaat' and the street food she used to gorge on during winter.

"We used to go to India Gate for a picnic, and have ice cream there… These are beautiful memories from my childhood."
