‘When it comes to women's lives, things have progressed, maybe not always in a linear way.'Devina Gupta speaks to author and columnist Twinkle Khanna about the lives of women in 21st century India. Khanna's column in the Times of India, Mrs Funnybones, captures the contradictions of being a modern Indian woman — one day praying to a cow, the next filing a tax return. It was turned into a book in 2015 that sold over 100,000 copies in its first year alone.Born into a family of Bollywood royalty, Khanna initially followed her parents Dimple Kapadia and Rajesh Khanna into acting. However, despite appearing in dozens of films and receiving accolades for her performances, she considers herself to have been a ‘failed actress'.After a short stint as an interior designer, she turned her hand to writing, and soon realised how much she could make people laugh.As a prominent writer, however, Khanna has faced significant backlash - including for comments challenging both traditional roles within marriage and religious customs that label women impure during menstruation. Her outspoken views on gender norms and marital expectations have led to heated debate on social media, and made her the subject of widespread trolling.So with the follow-up Mrs Funnybones book coming out over a decade later, she's now asking the much larger question: what, if anything, has changed for Indian women in that time.

So: Whether it was always intended and contracted, you told the “standalone with series potential” fib, or the public has simply demanded more, you now have to write a second book in the same world. How do you expand the world while maintaining the throughline of your story? And how might you know when you've over-extended? Guest Aparna Verma joins us to discuss the perils and potential of broadening those horizons. One of the most frequent ways to grow the world you show the readers is to literally expand the setting and follow characters to new locations, encountering new cultures, learning new things. But that's not the only option: Your characters also might be staying in the same place but uncovering secret societies, joining a new economic class, discovering magic, or otherwise encountering an aspect of their own environment they didn't previously have familiarity with. And either way, how can growing the world also spur character growth? [Transcript TK] Our Guest: Aparna Verma was born in Rajasthan, India, and grew up in the United States. She graduated from Stanford University with Honors in the Arts and a B.A. in English. In 2021, she self-published The Boy with Fire, which quickly went viral on TikTok, and was later republished by Orbit Books as The Phoenix King in 2023. When she is not writing, Aparna likes to lift heavy (arm days are her favorite), dance to Bollywood music, and find cozy cafes to read myths from ancient worlds. You can connect with Aparna on TikTok at @aparnawrites, and Twitter and Instagram at @spirited_gal.

Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is the inspiration behind Gurinder Chadha's new film Christmas Karma. Scrooge becomes Mr Sood, a miserly businessman in contemporary London, with a loathing of the weak and the homeless. In a series of fantastical scenes he is confronted by the ghosts of past, present and future Christmas. With more than a hint of Bollywood, the film is shot as a vibrant musical. In the Studio follows Gurinder in the making of the film - from shooting on set, through the music making and the edit, to the final presentation of the movie. Along the way, Gurinder explains her ways of working, her serious interest in some of the darker themes of the film, and why it was her children that made her persist in getting the film done.

SBS Bollywood Time: 07 November 2025
In this episode, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy revisit the cult chaos that is Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani (2002) — the film that somehow managed to combine Terminator, The Matrix, Nagina, and 2000s melodrama into one glorious fever dream. From Armaan Kohli's muscle suit to Raj Babbar's “religious Voltron” pendant, no absurdity goes unexamined. The team breaks down how this film became a cornerstone of “so bad it's good” Bollywood, complete with CGI skeletons, ghost revenge plots, and a cast that includes everyone from Sunny Deol and Akshay Kumar to Sonu Nigam and Rambha. Expect unfiltered laughter, film trivia, and several “why did we watch this?” moments.

Send us a text We visit Delhi, Agra, and Mumbai with linguist and educator Dr. Jilani Warsi.Old Delhi draws us into the Red Fort's vast red sandstone walls, the bustle of Jama Masjid, and the color and flavors of Chandni Chowk where chai, sweets, and silks leave their mark. We balance that with New Delhi's calm and the Lotus Temple's open welcome to all faiths, then look upward at Qutub Minar's 12th-century tower, a vertical timeline of early rule and artistry. Along the way, we share on-the-ground advice: why to skip driving yourself, how to group sites to save time, and where an evening light-and-sound show still brings the past to life.Agra reframes the journey around love and power. The Taj Mahal becomes more than a postcard as dawn light turns marble rosy and the close-in inlay work reveals delicate stone flowers. Across the Yamuna River, Agra Fort holds Shah Jahan's final vantage point, a story you can feel when a small mirror catches the mausoleum's glow. A short hop leads to Fatehpur Sikri, where Hindu and Islamic design blend into one living compound, proof that style can be a bridge across belief.Mumbai changes the tempo again: Marine Drive's night shimmer, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link stretching like a lit ribbon, and the gravitational pull of Bollywood's studios and theaters. We leave the skyline by boat for Elephanta Island, where ancient cave temples to Shiva offer a cool breath and timeless stonework. Between stops, we chase flavor—kebabs, biryani, and samosas, and share simple ways to eat well and safely where the locals line up.Whether you're planning your first India itinerary, refining a return, or just enjoying armchair travel, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so others can find it too._____Dr. Jilani Warsi, born a two-hour drive from Mahabodhi Temple in Gaya where Buddha reached Nirvana, grew up in a multilingual environment and teaches at Queensborough Community College in New York.

Long before he became the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Preet Bharara was a first-generation Indian immigrant, listening to Bollywood music in his childhood home outside of Asbury Park, New Jersey. It's no surprise that Bruce Springsteen became one of Preet's heroes – though it was a surprise when ‘The Boss' gave Preet a personal shoutout at a 2012 concert. In this episode, Preet talks about his work fighting Wall Street corruption and organized crime, how his family's American dream unfolded across decades, and his unashamed patriotism in an era when expressing love for America can feel complicated. Plus, Sophie (almost) gets the former prosecutor to sing along to one of their shared seven songs. Here are his songs. Bruce Springsteen, “Thunder Road” Kishore Kumar, Mahendra Kapoor, and Shailendra Singh, “Amar Akbar Anthony” Queen, “Another One Bites the Dust” U2, “I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For” Daniel Rodriguez, “God Bless America” Darius Rucker, “Wagon Wheel” Zeshan B, “O Say, Can You See”

The Prague Indian Film Festival kicks off highlighting Bollywood's diversity. A new book chronicles the fates of people executed for political reasons in Communist Czechoslovakia. And an interview with prominent human rights lawyer Oleksandra Matviichuk, who aims to bring the human dimension of the war in Ukraine back to Czech audiences.
Param Sundari, the new film starring Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra, seems to make things up as it goes along.We discuss the offensive cultural appropriation in every frame of the film, the odd motivations of its protagonists, and the film's reliance on cultural stereotypes.We also talk about Janhvi Kapoor's wardrobe, a potentially incendiary scene set inside a church, and how Bollywood filmmakers continue to fail upwards.—Hosted by Akhil Arora and Rohan Naahar, The Long Take is fully bootstrapped.

This MBM conversation is with Nadira Khatun, author of the book ‘Postcolonial Bollywood and Muslim Identity: Production, Representation, and Reception'. Through this book, Nadira traces the representation of Muslim characters within Hindi cinema in post-partition India, and how the socio-political and economic factors have contributed to varied representations across decades.We discuss the influence of Bollywood on our own personal upbringings, how cinematic representations contributed to the majoritarian perceptions of the Muslim identity and its interactions with us. From films like Mughal-e-Azam and Mammo to Gully Boy and Superboys of Malegaon, we talk about the evolution of Muslim characters and what would it take to make a movie with a truly effortless Muslim representation that does not fulfil any expectation or stereotype.We also discuss the many failings of Hindi film-makers in representing Muslim women - who were either exoticised or oppressed, leaving us with the hope that there is a whole world to cover when it comes to exciting possibilities in the space of truly bebaak representations.About Nadira KhatunNadira Khatun is associate professor at School of Communications, XIM University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha. She was visiting assistant professor at McMaster University, Hamilton from January 2021 to January 2022. She has contributed to academic journals and edited volumes on social media, Bollywood and Muslim identity. Her book tilted, Postcolonial Bollywood and Muslim Identity: Production, Representation, and Reception was released in August 2024 with Oxford University Press, UK.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has been making waves across multiple fronts this past week, signaling a dramatic expansion of his empire beyond YouTube entertainment. The biggest story comes from Hypebeast and CoinDesk reporting that his company Beast Holdings filed a trademark application on October 13th for "MrBeast Financial," a comprehensive fintech platform that could fundamentally reshape how his massive young audience interacts with money. According to the trademark filing covered by multiple outlets, this isn't just a simple banking app. The platform plans to offer online banking, cryptocurrency exchange and payment processing, short-term cash advances, investment advisory services, and even trading through decentralized exchanges. Business Insider notes this is an unusual move for a creator given the regulatory complexities and reputational risks involved when people's money is on the line, though MrBeast has dabbled in fintech before through a 2024 partnership with MoneyLion for a four point two million dollar giveaway.Meanwhile, MrBeast broke the internet in a completely different way on October 16th at the Joy Forum 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. According to reports from Hindustan Times and MensXP, he posed for a viral photo with Bollywood's legendary trio of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan. He shared the image on his Instagram story with the caption "Hey India, should we all do something together?" sparking immediate speculation about a potential collaboration. The three Khans are rarely photographed together despite their decades-long dominance of Indian cinema, making this moment particularly significant.On the more playful side, Dexerto reported that MrBeast responded to a TikTok user who admitted following him solely for potential rewards. The video went viral with thirty three point eight million views, catching Donaldson's attention. He filmed a response claiming he sent the user ten thousand dollars, staying true to his reputation as social media's biggest spender.These developments paint a picture of a creator rapidly diversifying his empire, following successful launches of Feastables and Beast Burgers, while maintaining his signature generous persona online.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Mr Beast Biography Flash.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.In the past few days Mr Beast has made international headlines across business entertainment and social media in ways that could become pivotal chapters in his future biography. October 16 saw Mr Beast light up social networks when he posted a photo alongside Bollywood's legendary three Khans—Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan—during the Joy Forum 2025 in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. The image, captioned Hey India should we all do something together quickly ignited rumors of a possible collaboration. Major Indian and international outlets including Hindustan Times and MensXP describe how this surprise gathering, rarely seen in Bollywood itself, unleashed a frenzy of speculation about what sort of global-scale project could bring together YouTube's top creator and Bollywood's most enduring superstars. Fans and commentators have been abuzz with theories, some calling it a PR move, others convinced something huge is brewing, but as of today nothing official has been confirmed by any party involved.On the business front the biggest confirmed development is Mr Beast's foray into fintech with Beast Financial. According to filings with the US Patent and Trademark Office made public on October 15-17, his company Beast Holdings LLC recently applied for the trademark MrBeast Financial which points to an ambitious plan for a mobile banking and crypto platform. Business Insider and Hypebeast report that investor pitch decks and trademark documents outline everything from a crypto exchange and digital banking to student loans insurance credit management and investment guidance, all targeted to his 445 million strong mostly young audience. The plan is to launch through partnerships with established fintechs, an approach business analysts say is meant to avoid regulatory hurdles and capital risks while leveraging Beast's immense brand trust among Gen Z and millennials. The filings suggest no definite launch date but the intent and scope are clear, and the social media reaction has already included offers of advice from industry veterans like Bank of Dave founder Dave Fishwick as highlighted by UniladTech.In social media territory Mr Beast's Instagram Story with the three Khans has already gone viral across India, surging to the top of Twitter and generating millions of shares and fan memes. Discussion continues about whether this cross-continental celebrity energy will transform into new content or business collaborations, but right now everything beyond the photo and his teasing caption is strictly speculation.No new Mr Beast video or Twitter controversy has broken out in the last 24 hours, and there's been no official statement so far addressing specifics of the Bollywood rumors or the anticipated fintech rollout. With long-term biographical significance, these moves signal Mr Beast's increasing ambition to move far beyond YouTube influence into global markets and high-stakes industries.Thanks for listening to Mr Beast Biography Flash.

Congress, Communism & the Woke Takeover | How the Bollywood Hijack India's Mind | SandeepBalakrishna
In Episode 287, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy dive into two very different cinematic worlds — the mythic mayhem of Kantara Chapter 1 and the glossy chaos of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. Sujoy kicks things off with his review of Kantara Chapter 1 — a prequel that expands the folklore of Rishab Shetty's breakout hit. Expect talk of Mad Max set pieces, colonial undertones, and whether the film's ambition pays off or just gets lost in the jungle fog. Then, the team dives deep into Dharma territory with Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. What went wrong with this “Humptyverse” rom-com? From Jhanvi Kapoor's dancing to Varun Dhawan's “Salman energy,” influencer cameos, baffling product placements, and the mysterious economics of modern rom-coms — no one is safe. Also discussed: feminism that never makes it past the trailer, why nobody has chemistry with Jhanvi Kapoor, and how Bollywood somehow spent ₹180 crores on a movie set in one hotel. Show Notes:
When an actor opens their mouth to sing in a movie, chances are high that the voice you hear will be their own. Even in music biopics, movie stars without much singing experience regularly go to great lengths to impersonate the most beloved vocalists of our time. Why not simply play Johnny Cash or Bruce Springsteen's actual recordings, the reasons why we care about them in the first place? When the world is full of beautiful singing voices, why force Pierce Brosnan to bray his way through Mamma Mia? What you hear when an actor unhinges their jaw is a matter that Hollywood has been negotiating since the dawn of sound. So in this episode, we'll learn about the “ghost singers” of classic Hollywood musicals, find out why they went extinct, and why today's music biopics so often fudge the music. Then we leave Hollywood for Bollywood, where the rise of the celebrity “playback singer” shows what can happen when good singing is the highest priority. In this episode, you'll hear from Slate's pop music critic Jack Hamilton; musicologist Dominic Broomfield-McHugh, editor of The Oxford Handbook of the Hollywood Musical; Stephen Cole, co-author of a memoir by the ghost singer Marni Nixon; Isaac Butler, longtime Slate contributor and scholar of American acting; and Nasreen Munni Kabir, who has written several books on Hindi cinema and curates Indian films for the UK's Channel 4.
