<p>On Women’s Day, ZEE5 announced its next original film titled <em>Mrs Undercover</em>. Radhika Apte will lead the film. Produced by B4U Motion Pictures in association with Jaadugar Films and Knight Sky Movies and written and directed by Anushree Mehta, <em>Mrs Undercover</em> is described as a fun, coming of age, action packed and entertaining story of a simple Indian housewife who is in fact a special undercover agent called back on the job after 10 years.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, in these 10 years, she has forgotten all about being an undercover agent as she dedicated all her time to being ‘just’ a housewife, taking care of her mother-in-law, father-in-law, son and a demanding patriarchal husband.</p>

<p>The film also stars Sumeet Vyas, Rajesh Sharma and Saheb Chatterjee in pivotal roles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After <em>Chhatriwali </em>and <em>Lost</em>, <em>Mrs Undercover</em> is another woman-led story by the OTT. Writer and debutant director Anushree Mehta said, “We make spy films and we make comedy films. Mrs. Undercover marks the beginning of making spy comedies. With Mrs. Undercover, I want to celebrate the amazing quality of multitasking that is imbibed in the system of every woman and this film is a story of such a multitasking housewife who also happens to be a fun, entertaining and action-packed undercover spy! My endeavour is to empower and entertain at the same time and Mrs. Undercover is my action and entertainment packed tribute to the powerhouse called – Woman”.</p>

Radhika Apte to lead ZEE5 original film Mrs Undercover, a spy comedy

<p>Indian celebrities have been getting more exposure every year with Indian films, actors, and the whole entertainment scene, in general, getting well-deserved love outside the country. Last year, Deepika Padukone unveiled the official FIFA World Cup trophy and now she will be presenting an award at the coveted Oscars 2023 ceremony. While you’d think Deepika is enjoying a good time on world platforms, she is not the first Indian to grace the Oscars stage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Much before Deepika Padukone, there was actress Persis Khambatta who led the baton for India in the year 1980. She served as the first presenter to represent India at the Oscars. Winner of Femina Miss India in 1965 and the third Indian woman to participate in the Miss Universe pageant, Persis Khambatta is more commonly known for her role as Lieutenant Ilia in the 1979 film <em>Star Trek: The Motion Picture</em>. As Ilia, Persis rose to fame with her bald avatar, a move remembered to date. The model actor died of a heart attack in 1998 at the age of 49.</p>

<p>After Persis, came another Indian star Priyanka Chopra, who continues to raise the bar high for Asian talent in the West. She became the second Indian to present at the Oscars. This was in the year 2016. She presented the award alongside the likes of Tina Fey, Jared Leto, Reese Witherspoon, Steve Carell, and J.K. Simmons.</p>

Not Deepika Padukone, this is the first Indian to present an award at the Oscars

<p>In a lengthy statement on his Instagram, Indian actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui finally broke his silence on his showdown with his ex-wife who claimed that the actor had thrown her out of his house along with their two kids, a boy, and a girl. With the media slamming the actor, Nawazuddin wrote about maintaining silence on the matter for the sake of his sanity and to keep his children away from ensuing drama. “People are enjoying my character assassination,” wrote Nawaz before explaining his stand on the matter.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, fellow actor Kangana Ranaut has&nbsp;come out in his defense and expressed her joy at him taking a stand for himself amid all alleged slander. Taking to Instagram stories, Kangana wrote, "Itna dukk ho raha hai yeh sab dekh ke...Nawaz saab ko unke ghar ke bahar aise baizzat kiya ja raha hai...unhone apna sab kuch family ko de diya, kai saal rent pe rahe rickshaw mein TWS ki shoot pe aate the abhi last year toh yeh Bangalow? sad looking at all these...(Nawaz sir is being humiliated like this outside his home...he gave his everything to his family, he stayed at a rented place for several years..he used to take a rickshaw to TWS shoot. Only last year he bought this bungalow and now his ex-wife came to claim it)..so sad." Nawazuddin Siddiqui has a film with Kangana Ranaut titled <em>Tiku Weds Sheru</em>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kangana further wrote, "I never met the ex-wife but now suddenly she has taken over the bungalow and not allowing him to enter, I just saw he is standing on the road and she is making videos of such a big star, kya badmashi hai yeh (what wickedness is this), I feel like crying... it's not easy to make money from acting jobs, actors work very hard, how can she just decide to keep the house and lock him outside like that."</p>

<p>Last month, the Bombay High Court suggested Nawazuddin and Aaliya to amicably resolve their differences pertaining to their two minor children. He had moved HC with a habeas corpus (produce the person) petition seeking direction to his ex-wife to reveal the whereabouts of their children.</p>

<p><strong>Nawazuddin Siddiqui's public statement&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>As for his public letter, Nawazuddin wrote, "I am termed as a bad guy everywhere because of my silence. The reason I have kept quiet is because all this tamasha (show) will somewhere be read by my small children. Social Media Platforms, Press, and a bunch of people are really enjoying my character assassination on the basis of one-sided and manipulated videos.

In a lengthy statement on his Instagram, Indian actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui finally broke his silence on his showdown with his ex-wife who claimed that the actor had thrown her out of his house along with their two kids, a boy, and a girl.

In a lengthy statement on his Instagram, Indian actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui finally broke his silence on his showdown with his ex-wife who claimed that the actor had thrown her out of his house along with their two kids, a boy, and a girl. With the media slamming the actor, Nawazuddin wrote about maintaining silence on the matter for the sake of his sanity and to keep his children away from ensuing drama. “People are enjoying my character assassination,” wrote Nawaz before explaining his stand on the matter. Now, fellow actor Kangana Ranaut has come out in his defense and expressed her joy at him taking a stand for himself amid all alleged slander. Taking to Instagram stories, Kangana wrote, "Itna dukk ho raha hai yeh sab dekh ke...Nawaz saab ko unke ghar ke bahar aise baizzat kiya ja raha hai...unhone apna sab kuch family ko de diya, kai saal rent pe rahe rickshaw mein TWS ki shoot pe aate the abhi last year toh yeh Bangalow? sad looking at all these...(Nawaz sir is being humiliated like this outside his home...he gave his everything to his family, he stayed at a rented place for several years..he used to take a rickshaw to TWS shoot. Only last year he bought this bungalow and now his ex-wife came to claim it)..so sad." Nawazuddin Siddiqui has a film with Kangana Ranaut titled Tiku Weds Sheru. Kangana further wrote, "I never met the ex-wife but now suddenly she has taken over the bungalow and not allowing him to enter, I just saw he is standing on the road and she is making videos of such a big star, kya badmashi hai yeh (what wickedness is this), I feel like crying... it's not easy to make money from acting jobs, actors work very hard, how can she just decide to keep the house and lock him outside like that." Silence doesn’t always give us peace, @Nawazuddin_S saab, there are many fans and well wishers of yours who care to know your side of the story 🙏 https://t.co/yEwuHXmHCH — Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) March 6, 2023 × Last month, the Bombay High Court suggested Nawazuddin and Aaliya to amicably resolve their differences pertaining to their two minor children. He had moved HC with a habeas corpus (produce the person) petition seeking direction to his ex-wife to reveal the whereabouts of their children. Nawazuddin Siddiqui's public statement As for his public letter, Nawazuddin wrote, "I am termed as a bad guy everywhere because of my silence. The reason I have kept quiet is because all this tamasha (show) will somewhere be read by my small children. Social Media Platforms, Press, and a bunch of people are really enjoying my character assassination on the basis of one-sided and manipulated videos. There are a few points, I would like to express--1. First of all, me and Aaliya do not stay together for several years, we are already divorced but we definitely had an understanding only for our kids." This is not an allegation but expressing my emotions. pic.twitter.com/6ZdQXMLibv — Nawazuddin Siddiqui (@Nawazuddin_S) March 6, 2023 × “She only wants more money and hence has filed numerous cases on me and my mother & it’s her routine, she has done the same in the past too, and withdraws the case when paid as per her demand."

Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga trailer: Yami Gautam, Sunny Kaushal get caught up on a plane

<p>Indian dancer and choreographer Savitha Sastry released the second film in the <em>Families</em> Short Film trilogy. Titled <em>Filter Coffee aur Masala Chai</em>, the film is directed by AK Srikanth. The duo’s first Hindi film, it is also the ninth from their production company which is known for its award-winning films like Arangetram, Descent, Beyond the Rains, Dvija, and The Colors Trilogy.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Filter Coffee aur Masala Chai is based on a short story written by Srikanth and is an allegory of the diversity and unity of India as represented by a typical Indian family. The theme celebrates the concept of a family as a unit, one that may have its share of bickering and fighting, but would come together as one when any sort of calamity strikes. The story is brought alive through a host of television and film actors and led by none other than the ‘Dancing Storyteller’ Savitha herself.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Like their previous film Arangetram, <em>Filter Coffee aur Masala Chai,</em> too is a breezy comedy, one that can be enjoyed by the whole family together, much as the genre made popular by stalwarts such as Amol Palekar, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, and Basu Chatterjee.

Indian dancer and choreographer Savitha Sastry released the second film in the Families Short Film trilogy. Titled Filter Coffee aur Masala Chai, the film is directed by AK Srikanth.

Indian dancer and choreographer Savitha Sastry released the second film in the Families Short Film trilogy. Titled Filter Coffee aur Masala Chai, the film is directed by AK Srikanth. The duo’s first Hindi film, it is also the ninth from their production company which is known for its award-winning films like Arangetram, Descent, Beyond the Rains, Dvija, and The Colors Trilogy. Filter Coffee aur Masala Chai is based on a short story written by Srikanth and is an allegory of the diversity and unity of India as represented by a typical Indian family. The theme celebrates the concept of a family as a unit, one that may have its share of bickering and fighting, but would come together as one when any sort of calamity strikes. The story is brought alive through a host of television and film actors and led by none other than the ‘Dancing Storyteller’ Savitha herself. Like their previous film Arangetram, Filter Coffee aur Masala Chai, too is a breezy comedy, one that can be enjoyed by the whole family together, much as the genre made popular by stalwarts such as Amol Palekar, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, and Basu Chatterjee. The story and its uniquely quirky protagonists bring to mind the unforgettable characters from RK Narayan’s classic Malgudi series.

<p>Paris Hilton is finally opening up about a traumatic phase in her life – the infamous sex tape that she has never really spoken about in public. In an excerpt from her upcoming memoir, the heiress and entrepreneur spoke about how she ended up taking part in the tape with ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon. She, however, does not take his name.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Only 18 at the time, Paris Hilton met Rick Salomon and dated him for a bit. She reveals she doesn’t remember much about the night when the sex tape was made. Although, she remembers that he “kept pushing” and told her that no one else will see it. Wanting to appear mature in front of her older boyfriend, Paris succumbed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Paris also talks about how she was struggling to understand her sexuality at that age and "wanted to feel like a woman who’s comfortable in her own skin." "He told me if I wouldn’t do it, he could easily find someone who would, and that was the worst thing I could think of — to be dumped by this grown man because I was a stupid kid who didn’t know how to play grown-up games," she writes in her memoir.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She further writes, "I needed to prove something to him and to myself, so I got hammered, and I did it," she shares.</p>

<p>It was in the year 2003 when Paris got to know that the sex tape had been leaked. This was a long time after the two had split.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It took me a minute to make the connection to that private video. I had to close my eyes and breathe. I felt like I was going to throw up. It was inconceivable to me," she writes.</p>

<p>She tried asking her then beau to stop the leak but he told her that he wouldn’t as it was of a lot of financial value. Paris then adds in the memoir, "The world thinks of me as a sex symbol, and I’m here for that because symbol literally means icon. But when people saw that sex tape, they didn’t say 'icon, they said sl**.' They said 'wh***.' And they weren’t shy about it.”</p>

<p>Earlier last month, the heiress also opened up about sexual abuse. She was abused as a teenager. She lost her virginity to an older man who allegedly drugged and raped her.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She also revealed that she <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/paris-hilton-reveals-she-had-an-abortion-in-her-20s-i-wasnt-ready-565392">had an abortion in her 20s.</a>&nbsp;Explaining what she was thinking at the time, Paris said, “This was also something that I didn’t want to talk about because there was so much shame around that. I was a kid and I was not ready for that.”</p>

<p>Speaking in support of the ongoing fight for women’s reproductive freedom, Paris added, “There’s just so much politics around it and all that, but it’s a woman’s body… Why should there be a law based on that? It’s your body, your choice and I really believe in that. It’s mind-boggling to me that they’re making laws about what you do with your reproductive health, because if it were the other way around with the guys, it would not be this way at all.”</p>
