Same-sex marriage called off in Ekta Kapoor’s series His Storry

Image
As per plans, the gay couple in the new series  His Storyy  played by Satyadeep Mishra and Mrinal Dutt were supposed to get married at the end of Season 1 which started streaming this week. The marriage was called off. And here is why: the producers Alt-Balaji and DING got cold feet about showing a same-sex marriage. One of the actors tells me, “Considering the way things are at the moment in our country I am relieved that marriage didn’t actually happen. The plan was to end season 1 with a Big Fat wedding showing Kunal (Satydeep Mishra) and Preet (Mrinal Dutt) tying the knot. But I think the producers chickened out, at least for this season.” Apparently the marriage may happen in Season 2, provided the atmosphere of intolerance that prevails in the country, dims down. “Otherwise Season 2 may not happen at all,” informs the actor. His Storyy  is the coming-out story of Kunal (Satyadeep Mishra) happily married to Sakshi (Priyamani) for twenty years when Kunal comes out gay with a fo

Dharmendra hasn’t met Hema Malini for more than a year

Image
Covid has played havoc with human contact even between individuals who are so close to one another as to be considered inseparable. Legendary real-life couple Hema Malini and Dharmendra have stayed apart for more than a year. As soon as Covid raised its ugly head Dharamji locked himself away in his farmhouse outside Mumbai far away from the madding crowd. Says Hemaji, “It is best for his safety. Right now we would rather think about his health than about spending time together. We are going through the worst crisis that mankind has faced in a hundred years. If we must save civilization we must be strong, even if it means making big sacrifices.” Also Read:  “I was all set to do Prakash Mehra’s Zanjeer when I had to opt out for personal reasons” – Dharmendra from Latest Bollywood News | Hindi Movie News | Hindi Cinema News | Indian Movies | Films - Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/3t5Y8aC

Some 10 days back, the industry, trade and fans got a jolt as the makers of Radhe - Your Most Wanted Bhai revealed that their film would be releasing in cinemas as well as on ZeePlex. Soon, the trailer was out and then the producers wasted no time in releasing their first song, ‘Seeti Maar’ , on April 26.

The song, featuring Salman Khan and Disha Patani, also amassed more than 50 million views in 3 days which proved that the song has become a rage. Today, the second song of Radhe - Your Most Wanted Bhai , 'Dil De Diya' , would release. It features Salman along with Jacqueline Fernandez.
