Joining the likes of Rishi Kapoor, Twinkle Khanna, Ayuhsmann Khurrana, Naseeruddin Shah and other Bollywood actors who turned authors is Priyanka Chopra. The desi girl’s book titled Unfinished is a collection of personal essays, stories and observations which will be available on book stands from next year. The announcement was made by publication house Penguin Random House India.
Unfinished, in the words of Priyanka, is a book which aims at inspiring women to dream big and aim for everything in life. Giving an insight into her memoir, the Quantico star said, “The flavour of the book will be honest, funny, spirited, bold and rebellious, just like me. I have always been a private person. I’ve never spoken about my feelings during my journey, but I am ready to do so now.”
Explaining more about her purpose of penning these short stories and personal experiences, she added, “I was raised to be fearless when it came to opinions and I would like to tell my story in the hope of inspiring people–especially women–to change the conversation, to shatter glass ceilings. Women are always told we can’t have everything. I want everything, and I believe anyone else can have it too. I’m a proof of it.”
Senior Commissioning Editor of Penguin Random House India, Manasi Subramaniam said about the memoir, “Unfinished by Priyanka Chopra is not just a memoir but a manifesto for women who believe that they can’t just have it all but that they deserve it all. Priyanka is one of the most influential women in the world, and it is not a badge she wears lightly. I love how unapologetic she is about her success and her ambition. There’s something about the Priyanka Chopra phenomenon that feels both revolutionary and accessible, and that’s entirely a result of the person that she is.”
Priyanka stepped into the glamour world at the age of 17 when she won the Miss India beauty pageant and then wore the crown of Miss World. Her American TV series Quantico brought her recognition overseas. She won two consecutive People’s Choice Awards for her role of Alex Parrish in Quantico.
Priyanka will return to Bollywood with Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bharat which is headlined by Salman Khan. The movie will hit the screens in 2019.

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...
