Actor Zaheer Iqbal, who is the rumoured boyfriend of Sonakshi Sinha, on Thursday showered praise on the ‘Heeramandi’ actress’ performance in the new song ‘Tilasmi Bahein’, and called her ‘magic’.
The second song, titled ‘Tilasmi Bahein’, from the upcoming streaming series ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’ is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

On Thursday, the actress, who essays the lead role of Rani Bharati in the series, took to her Instagram and shared the letter addressed to her younger self.
She wrote, “Thank you for that day when you marched into your principal’s office in Class 11. You were terrified but your love for the stage burnt brighter than your fear. You had to tell them of your choice: Performing Arts over Academics, Humanities over Science. Your first fight against doubt. The start of your journey in defying expectations. They told you you are stubborn! That your dreams were wrong! You must be like the others — okay with being put in a box and taking the ‘safe and sensible’ route.”
She thanked her...

Sonakshi Sinha opened up about her career at the film industry trade show Ficci Frames here on Wednesday.
She remembered how, despite being Shatrughan Sinha’s daughter, she had no experience of being on a film’s set and no formal training in acting or dancing, starting off “:completely from scratch”.
Speaking at the 24th edition of Ficci Frames, the actress, most recently seen in ‘Double Xl’, said: “Throughout my career, I have learnt through experience. I started off completely from scratch. I had no experience of being on a film’s set. I never visited my dad on sets when I was a child and I had no training in acting or dancing. I was not groomed for the profession. I was literally thrown into the deep end of the pool and was told to swim. That’s how I learnt.”

Film CommentaryTNM takes a look at the representation of plus-sized characters in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi films. Saradha UFacebook/ T SeriesWhen the Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi starrer Double Xl was promoted before its theatrical release in November this year, the film was seen as a silver lining by a small, yet substantial number of movie buffs and critics who observe films through the lens of representation and portrayals of body image. Double Xl is among the first few Indian films narrating the stories of two plus-sized women and unlike movies in the past featuring actors in superficial ‘fat’ suits, Double Xl has lead actors who look the part. However, having said that, the Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi starrer fails to impress on the whole, despite hitting a few right notes. At a rather important point in the film when Huma Qureshi’s Rajshree Trivedi is on...

Actress Huma Qureshi has had a professionally fulfilling year so far with diverse roles at her disposal. While she portrayed a female Chief Minister in ‘Maharani 2’, ‘Double Xl’ saw her playing a plus-size woman smashing stereotypes.
She raised the mercury with her sultry portrayal of the titular character in the recently released streaming movie ‘Monica, O My Darling’. The actress is quite naturally over the moon given her slate of 2022, and this is because she now purely goes by her gut feeling on what project to give her nod to.
Talking about how the year has been for her, the actress said: “It’s been a great year. At some point in my career, I stopped taking advice from people on what projects to pick up and went with my gut instinct. What speaks to me is what I agree to do. And the love and the success helps in...

Huma Qureshi, one of the stars of Zack Snyder’s Netflix film “Army of the Dead,” has wrapped the shoot of anti-body-shaming film “Double Xl.”
Qureshi, who stars in the film alongside Sonakshi Sinha, also debuts as a producer via her company Elemen3. Satram Ramani (“Helmet”) directs.
“In all cultures there are ways in which we try and standardize beauty and we try and almost tell young young girls, that [if] you don’t adhere to a certain body type, you are not beautiful, cherished, you’re not special, you’re not valued,” Qureshi told Variety. “Why do we not see models representing real women’s bodies? Why do we not see actresses of all shapes and sizes? They exist, so why are you not seeing that on the big screen? Because what it leads to is a lot of young women and men grow up with complexes as if they’re not good enough.
