Kajol: A good script should be like an unputdownable book

Kajol Devgn
Actor Kajol says she only gives her nod to a film if the script manages to hold her attention. The 43-year-old actor, who was last seen in Dhanush’s VIP 2, said screentime of a character is not important for her if it has “something amazing” to offer her as a performer.
“I love reading. It is my passion, hobby, and meditation. I believe a good script should be like one of those books that you read till 4 am and you know you have to get up at 7 am and go to work. It is a book that is unputdownable and the character should be like that you can build and make something amazing out of it. I don’t think whether I am the main lead or have enough to do in the film or not, whether it’s two scenes or half a scene to do, it should be of a kind that leaves a strong impact,” Kajol said during a promotional event of Incredibles 2.
The actor has voiced the character of Helen Parr aka Elastigirl in the Hindi-version of Incredibles 2. The 43-year-old actor said that even though she hates dubbing, the experience of voicing for the beloved superhero character was “exciting”. “I don’t like dubbing for myself, it is the most painful and boring process. If you are dubbing for yourself then it is bad and if you are doing for somebody else then it is twice as worse. But at the end of it, I was like it was great fun. To dub for Elastigirl was very exciting,” Kajol said.
The actor wished that she had some superpowers in real life so as to manage everything, from the “me time” to giving attention to her kids and family.”What I like most about these films is they are giving out the right message but in a humorous way. It is an intelligent film and it is meant for everybody. There is no age limit to it.”
Incredibles 2, set to release on June 22, is the sequel to Disney-Pixar’s 2004 animation blockbuster.

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...
