Before’s ending was essentially about Eli figuring out his “connection” with Noah while also coming to terms with Lynn’s death. I have written a detailed recap of the episode, so feel free to read that. In short, the finale showed Eli and Noah going to the farmhouse that was heavily featured throughout the miniseries. They ran around the place for a bit. Eli realized that he had killed Noah in their past life, and, I guess, he needed to save him in the present day to atone for that sin. Eli also revealed that he had helped Lynn to kill herself because she just couldn’t keep fighting cancer anymore. Noah and Eli both got cured, whatever that’s supposed to mean, and they lived happily ever after. The show pretended that it wrapped things up in an emotionally poignant and logically coherent way, but I am here...

You know when one of your senses is blocked, you take some time to work around with the rest of them. But the credit for my performance goes to Hemendra Singh, who was immensely instrumental in guiding me through this preparation. He is associated with an organisation working for blind people.”

Born in Kolkata, Luke’s grandfather was Irish and grandmother was British’ they had moved to India.

Elaborating on the same, Kakkad said: “It is always a very enriching and fruitful experience when we get to work with actors such as Vivek who are aware of the pre-requisites and inner workings of the craft.

Actress Sonali Kulkarni, who is known for her work in the Marathi film industry and has delivered good performances in “Dil Chahta Hai” and “Taxi No 9211”, will be soon seen in the streaming series “Dharavi Bank”.

The actress plays a politician in the series and her experience with the portrayal of the character has been quite fulfilling, considering the role is polar opposite to her in real life and brings in a sense of versatility for her.

The actress, who plays Chief Minister Janvi Surve in the series, said: “My personality has always been pleasant, fun, and honest type. Hence it was quite challenging for me to play the role of Janvi Surve. My character in ‘Dharavi Bank’ is that of an egoistic, hard-hearted and manipulative woman who is completely opposite to my real nature. I enjoy processes that test my versatility as an actor.”

The gangster drama also stars Suniel Shetty as Thalaivan,...

Actor Suniel Shetty will be seen playing the role of Thalaivan – a powerful, ruthless and unattainable kingpin of India’s largest slum Dharavi in the upcoming series ‘Dharavi Bank’. To aesthetically portray the part of this 63-year-old villain, the team had to use prosthetics to make him look over 60.

Speaking about the actor’s commitment to this role, Director Samit Kakkad said, “Anna would report on location at 5 a.m. on the dot because it would take him four hours to do hair and make-up with the use of prosthetics.”

“Thalaivan’s character spans across different age groups in the series and to showcase this progression, we had to make Anna age himself because he is so fit that nobody would believe he is playing a 63-year-old without prosthetics.”

“He helms a Rs 30,000 crore empire and his face and posture had to reflect the responsibilities he has and the experiences...

A tall, dusky, flimsy South Indian girl, with long strands of hair was introduced by King Khan in Om Shanti Om. This wasn’t the first time she made men go weak in the knees, as she blazed the ramp as a model years before as well. Be it Shanti Priya in Oso or the practical and contemporary Mira in Love Aaj Kal, Deepika Padukone has surely made her distinct identity and style statement in the industry.

Not only did she flaunt her long hair in films, but Fiama Di Wills chose her for endorsing their shampoo. Now, however, times have changed. With her upcoming movie Karthik Calling Karthik, opposite Farhan Akhtar, Deepika had to shorten her trademark waist length hair and get a short spiky cut to fit the demand of her character.

The promos of Karthik Calling Karthik look very interesting with Farhan playing a role of a...
