Sidharth’s next on forced marriages
Actor Sidharth Malhotra, who has wrapped up shooting his upcoming film Jabriya Jodi, said the romantic comedy film is based on Pakadwa Vivah (forced marriage), which is rampant in Bihar.
Sidharth said, “We have been shooting since last year. We created a lot of things of Patna in Lucknow. I think I haven’t played this kind of role earlier in my career and for Parineeti also, it’s a different world and role. We are really excited for the film.”
He is glad to have collaborated with Parineeti Chopra again after Hasee Toh Phasee.
‘For me, it is not about nationality or colour, but about identity. Is there something which you can put in your character that is uniquely you and that your people will identify with? It is less about roles and more about characteristics.’

After nearly three years,
Emraan Hashmi has signed a horror film Ezra, which is the Hindi remake of a Malayalam horror film.
Emraan said, “Horror is a genre with immense potential. A well-made horror film will always draw audiences in huge numbers to cinema halls. With Ezra, we hope to push the boundaries further and give the audience an experience that they will never forget. I’m happy to be associating with Kumarji (Mangat Pathak) and Abhishek (Pathak) on this film and with Jay (Krishnan) at the helm of things all I can say is be prepared for one hell of a spooky ride.”
Turner thought about suicide
Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner said that she used to think about suicide a lot after being branded fat and a bad actress.
Turner, who is in therapy and medication, also credited her fiance Joe Jonas with helping her through depression, admitting “when someone tells you they love you every day it makes you love yourself.”
She said that she first began having mental health issues when she was 17, explaining that living at her parents' home while she worked and her friends and brothers were away at university, was a triggering factor.
“I've suffered with depression for six years now. The toughest part for me is getting out of bed and the house. Learning to love yourself is the biggest challenge,” she said.
