0

Actor-turned-politician Rajinikanth on Monday said he can provide the rule of AIADMK founder and late Chief Minister M.G. Ramachandran (MGR) and also fill the leadership void that exists in Tamil Nadu.

Unveiling a statue of MGR at the Dr MGR Educational Research Institute here, Rajinikanth said he understands politics and can provide the kind of rule that MGR gave.

Rajinikanth, who is yet to formally launch his political party, said he knows that the path of politics is not decked with flowers but filled with thorns.

He said he has learnt politics from DMK leader M. Karunanidhi and Congress leader late G.K. Moopanar.

According to him, both Karunanidhi and late Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa were great leaders.

But after the demise of Jayalalithaa and with Karunanidhi in poor health, there is a leadership vacuum in the state which he can fill, Rajnikanth said.

He said those who are in politics have not performed their duties properly.

Stressing that his political philosophy will be spiritual politics, the superstar said honest and casteless politics is spiritual politics.

Rajinikanth also requested his fans and followers not to put up banners and hoardings contravening the law and troubling the people.

Neha Dhupia: Staying relevant for 20 years is challenging

From the film world to a podcast show, judging television non-fiction entertainers to running a marathon – Neha Dhupia is doing it all. The actress and former beauty queen says entering the film industry was an adventurous step she took around 20 years ago, but staying relevant during all these years has been quite a task.

Neha, who made her screen debut with a Malayalam movie in 1994, and forayed into Bollywood with QAYAMAT: CITY UNDER THREAT in 2003, has been doing non-fictional shows like "MTV Roadies – Roadies Xtreme", podcast "#NoFilterNeha" and other chat shows, apart from movie projects of late.

She told IANS: "There are so many TV shows that go off air within three months of their beginning. MTV Roadies is one of the adventures TV shows that has earned the credibility of 15 years from its audience. And I am the only female judge on the show.

"I earned the show because of my body of work. Staying relevant for 20 years is challenging."

As for adventures in her own life, she said: "I think the most adventurous thing that I have done in my life is to become part of the Indian cinema industry, being a complete outsider. So today, when I am getting an offer of one of the longest-running youth show on Indian television, it is purely a by-product of my credible work in the industry.

"I have enough and more stories to share. At the same time, I have a lot of gratitude for what I have got."

Neha actively participated in the Mumbai Marathon and is also associated with charitable social work.

As for her film career, she featured in a supporting role in TUMHARI SULU last year and, this year, two films are in the pipeline for her.

"I have signed Pradeep Sarkar's upcoming EELA where I am sharing screen space with Kajol. That apart, I have acted in a short film directed by Karan Johar. It is part of the anthology film BOMBAY TALKIES 2, she said.

"Roadies", where she is one of the "gang leaders", keeps her kicked. She began her association with the show in 2016, and its new season is set in the northeast.

"This show reflects the competitive side of my personality. I have come across many youngsters in the show and some of their stories are really heart-touching. The show is an honest space because everything is real here, people and their stories," said Neha.

Asked if she also wants to explore the fiction space on TV, Neha said: "No, I won't be able to commit myself to a fictional show. That is a huge time-consuming commitment."

A singer Ed Sheeran fan was pulled away by security after storming the stage here to meet her idol.

The English singer was here for the Australia leg of his 'Divide' tour, focusing on his #1 album of the same name. But one fan clearly was overwhelmed to see her favourite star in the flesh, and had to get a closer look.

In a video footage taken by an audience member, a fan is seen running on stage, seemingly from the backstage area, towards the singer, reports mirror.co.uk.

They shake hands before the singer tells the fan: "You've got to go now."

The camera moves away but when it returns to the action, the stage invader is seen being wrestled and pulled away from the star by three security guards.

Sheeran, not showing his concern, moves across the stage, guitar in hand, and prepares the crowd for another song.

He called out to fans on the mic: "This is gonna be the final song of the night, I need you to use your voices on this one. Please put your hands in the air."

Actress Eva Longoria has been craving cereal for dinner during her pregnancy, though she can't choose her favourite brand.

In a series of videos posted to her Instagram story, Longoria said: "You guys, I'm so hungry. And I don't wanna cook anything and I don't feel like ordering anything, so I'm gonna eat cereal, but I can't decide what cereal to eat.

"Just so you know guys, this isn't me. It's my baby. It's my baby wanting cereal for dinner."

The "Desperate Housewives" star was unable to choose between her two favourite cereals, Mini Wheats and Fruity Pebbles, so made the decision to have a bowl of each, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Okay, I'm over the Fruity Pebbles. They're too sweet now. Don't you guys eat things from your childhood and you're like, 'How'd I eat that?' Like, 'Why'd I think that was good?'" said the actress, who will become a mother for the first time.
