Sonali sends wishes from NY
Actress Sonali Bendre Behl found a way to be a part of the India's Best Dramebaaz finale with an emotional video message for the team from New York, where she is undergoing treatment for cancer. Sonali was a part of the judges panel of the show with Vivek Oberoi and Omung Kumar, but Huma Qureshi took over when she left following her cancer diagnosis. The message was, “Hi. I am so happy to see all the kids doing so well on the show. I am missing the entire team of India's Best Dramebaaz so much. I wish I could just be there with all of you. Vivek keeps sending me the messages of the kids all the time and they're all so sweet, it makes me cry.” The finale will air on Sunday.
‘I’m very happy that the film (Sui Dhaaga) hasn’t only set the registers ringing but also received love from people, and that is paramount for us. I believed that the film would reach masses. Glad that the collaborative effort of Varun and me has worked. I would’ve been hurt and confused if the film was not appreciated.’

Paltrow is grateful to Pitt
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow claims Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was “scared” of actor Brad Pitt and wanted to “keep the actor on side” after making her feel uncomfortable. Paltrow has said she doesn't know what would have happened if her former boyfriend Pitt hadn't protected her against the predatory producer. The actress said that she believes Weinstein was “scared” of Pitt, who “leveraged his power” against the now-disgraced movie mogul. Paltrow says Pitt had threatened Weinstein in 1995 when he found out that the producer had tried to lure her to a hotel room and asked her to massage him. “I am so grateful to Pitt,” she said.
