Finally! Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to make her Instagram debut tomorrow

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is among the few actors, including Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Kangana Ranaut, Rani Mukerji and Aditya Roy Kapur, who have stayed away from social media. But, we hear, that’s about to change now. The actress is all set to make her digital debut on the photo-sharing app, Instagram.

ONLY INSTAGRAM

Till recently, Ash wasn’t sold on the idea of being on social media. In an interview, she had said, “I think you should use it for its strength and not get drowned in it for its capacity to isolate as well as and make you just an individual and cease to be a people’s person.” But last year, she had revealed, “The time has come for me to join social media.” And now, she is ready to make her foray into the digital world. Says a source close to the actress, “Ash has a huge fan base on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Her fans have been waiting for her to be on social media for a long time. It’s due to constant requests from her well wishers, admirers and fans from all around the globe that she opted to start an official handle to keep them abreast of her life and projects, etc.” She will join Instagram on May 11, which is one day before her red carpet appearance at Cannes 2018 (May 12).

ASH NEEDED TO BE CONVINCED

Ash wasn’t keen on this move, and it took a lot of convincing from her friends and team to get her nod for the idea. “Ash’s closest buddies from the industry, which include Karan Johar, Manish Malhotra and others, have been telling her to join social media. Even her team persuaded her a lot. Before her 17th Cannes appearance, the L’Oréal team also discussed this with her. Finally, she decided to go ahead,” adds the source.

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother Sunny Deol was already the dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
