Jaya is also going with you .. you both are alone .. yes .. if you have to go marry and go,”the actor recalled in his blog. Amitabh and Jaya decided to tie the knot the very next day and take their flight to London the same night. “I dress up in formal marriage Indian .. get into my car and want to drive to Malabar Hill where her friends lived and where the ceremony was to be done .. my driver Nagesh, pushes me out and insist he would drive me to the wedding .. the substitute for the tradition horse... off I went .. wedding over in a few hours .. done .. Mr and Mrs proclaimed .. over !!" he further wrote. The couple has two children- Shweta Bachchan and actor Abhishek Bachchan.

Father-son duo Amitabh, Abhishek wish Jaya Bachchan on her 70th birthday

<p>The remarks made by Naresh Agrawal, who&nbsp;recently joined the BJP, against Jaya Bachchan brought out the worst our politics has to offer. But equally refreshing was the united front our women MPs put forward when it came to criticising Agrawal, a former Samajwadi Party leader.</p>

<p>Irrespective of differing political ideologies, the unity among women politicians&nbsp;showed how much they value women&#39;s dignity. While women had been fighting a tough battle for their political inclusion to bridge the gender disparities in the nation, some male political leaders are irked by the same.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Agrawal showed his resentment over being denied a chance to enter the Rajya Sabha. Samajwadi Party, which had only one Rajya Sabha seat from Uttar Pradesh, chose actor-turned-politician Jaya Bachchan over Agrawal. This displeased him, to such an extent that he quit the party. But within a few hours of joining BJP, he openly projected his envious feeling against Jaya Bachchan at a press conference on Monday, making a misogynist comment that he was denied the Rajya Sabha ticket for somebody who &quot;used to dance in films&quot;.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The sexist comment rattled not only the targeted Mrs. Bachchan, but many other women politicians. Although political parties are always ready to demean other party&#39;s leaders, this time the dirty politics was beaten by a strong condemnation, in the form of an outcry not just from Agrawal&#39;s party but other fellow politicians as well.</p>

<p>BJP leader Smriti Irani, who is herself fighting a defamation case against Sanjay Nirupam&nbsp;for allegedly making a sexist remark about her political entry, was the most vocal of Agrawal&#39;s critics. She was amongst the first ones taking a bold stand in&nbsp;favour&nbsp;of Jaya Bachchan. She expressed her emotions on Twitter.&nbsp;</p>

Former Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Naresh Agrawal joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday. The miffed Rajya Sabha MP, who lost out in the race for re-nomination to the Upper House to Jaya Bachchan had said, "I have been compared with those who dance and work in films." Naresh Agrawal later apologised for his remark against the Samajwadi Party leader. "Agar meri kisi baat se kisi ko thes pahuchi hai toh main khed vyakt karta hun (If something that I said has hurt anyone then I express my regret)," said Agarwal. BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra had distanced his party from Agarwal's remarks, saying it respects people from all fields and welcomed them in politics. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj had condemned Agarwal's remark on Twitter, saying he was welcome in the party but his comments regarding Jaya Bachchan were "improper and unacceptable". Jaya Bachchan has once again been nominated to the upper house by the Samajwadi Party. The term of Naresh Agrawal, whose remarks in the House mocking Hindu gods had sparked an uproar last year, as Rajya Sabha member ends on April 2.

'Improper and unacceptable': Sushma Swaraj on Naresh Agrawal's remark on Jaya Bachchan

<p>The city-based Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) wants artists and technicians from movie industries across the globe to come here and use its expertise to hone their skills.</p>

<p>The FTII has requested the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to identify countries from where it can invite artists and technicians to take help of the prestigious institute&#39;s expertise in film training and education.</p>

<p>In the last nine months, the FTII has successfully conducted several short-term courses, like film appreciation, screen acting, digital cinematography, screenplay writing and fiction writing, in various institutions across the country for the film and TV industries, said the institute&#39;s director, Bhupendra Kainthola.</p>

<p>&quot;Besides, a group of 20 actors from Nepal has been undergoing a short course in &#39;screen acting&#39; here in the institute, which is the first initiative one of its kind by the Ministry of External Affairs,&quot; he said.</p>

<p>The FTII is regarded as a centre of excellence across the world and the films made by its students have been well received in festivals in India and abroad, apart from winning various national and international awards, he said.</p>

<p>The institute has a long list of prominent alumni, including filmmakers Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Girish Kasaravalli and Vidhu Vinod Chopra, and actors Om Puri, Naseeruddin Shah, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi.</p>

<p>&quot;The FTII alumni have left an indelible imprint on all facets of the Indian cinema and television and have built an excellent reputation worldwide too,&quot; the director said.</p>

<p>&quot;With these strengths, we now want to go international and have a global footprint,&quot; he said.</p>

<p>&quot;We have approached the MEA and expressed our willingness to conduct short courses for artists and technicians from other countries, specially in Asia and Africa,&quot; he said.</p>

<p>He said, &quot;When we talk of India&#39;s soft power, then not only cinema but (aspects like) film education, film learning?and film training ought to be a part of?the canvas.&quot;</p>

<p>&quot;We have designed a lot of courses and trained our alumni as the resource persons and we are confident of taking a leap overseas and helping the film industries abroad with our expertise,&quot; he said.</p>

<p>Kainthola said the Indian embassy in Nepal had approached the FTII to consider facilitating a short course for some of the actors from the Himalayan nation.</p>

<p>With the help of the MEA, the 20-day course in &#39;screen acting&#39; for 20 actors - 12 male and eight female - from Nepal started recently, he said.</p>

<p>&quot;It is up to the MEA which countries to choose. If we get a green signal, we will barely need a month&#39;s time to finalise the nitty-gritty of the project,&quot; Kainthola said.</p>

<p>&quot;Since all these short courses will be customised, if given a go ahead, we would first seek profiles of the target participants and according to their needs, the course material will be designed or modified,&quot; he added.</p>

<p>Siddharth Shasta, an associate professor in the FTII&#39;s acting department and the coordinator of the short course for the Nepalese actors, said their core staff will not be working on these training programmes.</p>

<p>&quot;We have trained resources in the form of our alumni and they have been given the responsibility to conduct such courses,&quot; he said.</p>

<p>Right now, the 20 actors, aged between 25 and 35, who have taken up the course at the FTII, are all established names in the Nepal&#39;s film industry.</p>

<p>Some of these actors belong to families traditionally associated with the Nepalese film industry and others have worked in TV serials, commercials, music videos and theatre, Shasta said.</p>

<p>Nepalese actor Sabina Gopali, currently undergoing the course at the FTII, said she is confident that the training programme will benefit her in professional and personal life.</p>

<p>Another Nepalese film actor, Kamal Raj Bhatta, said he never came across such methods of acting in his country.</p>

<p>He is hopeful that the course will enhance his acting skills.&nbsp;</p>
