The Mad Sisters of Esi by Tashan Mehta: A Review

Mad Sisters of Esi by Tashan Mehta has been on my TBR for a few months now and I finally read it now as part of the Asian Readathon for its Prompt #2: read an underrated book. I find myself conflicted in trying to write about this book. This was why it took so long to write this review, I just couldn’t write it for so long. Any act of analysis, of attempting to pin down the heart of this book,…

[storizenmagazine]

#BookReview: "Mad Sisters of Esi" goes beyond the boundaries of standard fantasy literature, providing a thought-provoking examination of the relationship between myth, language, and perception. While the work defies easy categorization, its charm is its capacity to fascinate and challenge readers from start to finish.

Good Newwz

Our Khiladi actor, a Rustom Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor along with another pair Diljit Joshi and Kiara Advani are coming with ‘Good Newwz’ on 27 December 2019. The movie Good Newwz is directed and produced by Raj Mehta and Karan Johar respectively. Raj Mehta is a director and actor whereas those who don’t know Karan Johar, director, producer, screenwriter, actor, and a TV personality.

About the movie

It is a comic movie which ensures a full dose of laughter and entertainment. All four lead actors have a great mingling in the Bollywood Industry. Akshay Kumar has done various comic movies and almost all of them were hit. Akshay- Kareena is a couple and Diljeet-Kiara is another couple. Both these pair share a common surname ‘Batras’ that leads to confusion. They opt for in-vitro fertilization and looking forward to welcoming their first babies. Talking about the sperms that are required in the process of in-vitro fertilization happens a big blunder. As they share a common surname that’s why the sperms get exchanged by mistake. The after-process of this exchange of sperms will get you too curious to stick to the screens at PVRs.

The Trailer

A few hints have been given by the trailer about how hilarious this movie is going to be. Their sophistication takes the back seat when both the pairs come to know that both the sperms are exchanged. Its imagination becomes more than funny. The last scene of the hospital shown in the trailer where Kareena delivers a child and she imagines Diljit’s face is exhausting. You should hold your stomach.

Kareena and Akshay’s Chemistry

The trailer shows that the chemistry of Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor will be very interesting. Their chemistry seems to be somewhat like that in the movie Kambakt Ishk. They are modern and their attires are modern as well. After many movies together, they are doing Good Newzz together now.

Kiara and Daljit’s Chemistry

This time we can see Kiara and Diljit together on screen. In this movie, both of them seems to share a very good chemistry. They are desi, show their Tashan timely, and love to enjoy their lives. They are looking good together in the film. It’s a good choice from the casting director to keep them opposite to each other.

Looks

Akshay and Kareena have adorned the western look whereas Kiara and Daljit are showcasing their traditional side. Kiara is seen wearing Salwar-Kameez and carrying the personality of a married woman.

Cast

There are two pairs who are the lead couples in the movie. They are played by Akshay Kumar as Varun Batra, Kareena Kapoor as Deepti Batra, Diljit Joshi is Honey Batra, and Kiara Advani is Monika Batra. The other cast member includes Anand Ansari who is playing Dr. Anand Ansari; Gulshan Grover, Tisca Chopra, Auritra Ghosh, Anjana Sukhani, Yukta Mookhey, and a few others.

All the actors are famous actors in Bollywood. This is a film by Zee Studios Dharma Productions and distributed by Zee Studios. Akshay Kumar is bringing yet another movie on some issues. He said in a promotional event that there are many couples who want to become parents but they couldn’t because of some problems. But with the support of IVF, many couples are now blessed with a child. So, the crew tried to present the movie in such a way that it doesn’t heart anybody’s sentiments but create awareness.

Daily Rikara Ramblings...

Alright, starting the episode. I know it's going to be some BS but i am still low-key amused at this fuckery. Lol. Let's see what's in store for us today

ShivRu scene about RuVya bs. Moving on. I'll care when they deal with actual issues instead of this ageist crap.

Yaar ye dimaag-dil wali baat shivaay, Omkara ko kyu nahi samajhta? Like I know unlike Rudy, omkara is just going to roll his eyes and not take any advice but still. Instead of butchering Gauri, thodi sahi advice apni bhai ko bhi de de mere bhai.

Lol tu jaane na again. How many times are they gonna repeat the same songs? The other day they also repeated ishq hua hi hua 🤣🤣🤣

Oh, this is the original one. I somehow liked the other version they played on Dbo.

Nakuul Mehta looks kinda cute in this scene lol.

Look at this asshole being all sad 🙄🙄🙄

Omg i hate this light on-off bollywood trope. The only time i liked it was in tanu weds manu 2 when pappi was like SHUT.IT and went on his anti extramarital affair rant 😂😂😂😂😂

Fuck these kampats are back! Gosh, i hate these kampats and Gauri's kampat eating with the fire of a thousand suns. Burn that isshhh!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Lol these eggs. Why do these editor's/writers/cvs whoever is in charge of these ande's think anyone is going to take RuVya scenes seriously while they exist. Matalb I just want to lmao whenever they make an appearance lmao. 😂😂😂😂😂

Sometimes I so wish I were more interested in shivika. Their fbs so hawt.

Got no feels during any Rikara ones. Maybe cause I already know what's going to happen today 🙄🙄🙄

Lol why's Omkara trying to eat it again. Matlab these kampats are Gauri's tashan and i guess now they're an indicator of his sadness? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Okay, why the hell is omkara remembering all the physical bits and not the thing that happened in the rain. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK?? WHY ARE YOU NOT REMEMBERING THE ONLY MEMORY THAT'S RELEVANT HERE??? THEY EVEN PLAYED THE SAME FUCKING SONG. GOSH WHAT'S GOTTA GIVE EDITORS!!!! I can't believe these incompetent fucks did the rain hug dirty AGAIN!! 😤😤😤😤😤😤

This.is.such.a.waste.of.time. 7 minutes in and this never ending flashback song is STILL going on. Deliver me from this hell pls gawd.

Thank you God. It's finally over. 😭😭😭😭😭

Oh, I like this red suit on gauri. Just ditch the duppatta babe. You look uber hawt 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Oh man, the ShivRi scene is So QYUT!! I hate the context behind it, but everything babies do just makes me want to hug them.

I love how supportive shivaay is. But I HATE that he's forcing her to learn English for Omkara's benefit. To make Om's acceptance easier. I mean he's still thinking as Om's brother and not Gauri's kin. Cause Gauri's brother would never force her to do something she doesn't want to do, and for what? To earn the respect of someone who doesn't even care btw. Like does Shivaay even know Om anymore? What are these cvs even doing? Just yesterday he was all, society ka fault hai and not yours, and today he's sending her to take english classes? Wtf cvs. Do they even remember what they write anymore? Kuch bhi chal raha hai.

And Gauri? Yesterday she had no hopes? Today she's learning English to bridge the gap between them? Yeh umeed ki kiran kab dikhi tumhe gauri? 🤔🤔🤔Hamein bhi dikha deti. 😃😃😃

Aww, poor gauri looks so nervous and awk. Meri DabangRi k saath kya kar diya cvs ne 😭😭😭

"Registan bana rahe hai"

I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE STUPID. Oh my fucking lord, Gauri wtf. Apne aasuon k saath saath dimaag bhi baha diya kya??

Remember during the Pari medicine fiasco Gauri had said just bc idk english doesn't mean I'm moorakh toh aaj murkhon k tarah kyu behave kar rahi ho gauri? Is common sense a thing or not? Ek toh koi continuity nahi hai iss show me, upar se this make gauri duffer and insecure BS so we can introduce a lameass education track. Hey Bhagwan, iss chirriya se kitni michmichi sehen karwaoge? 😥😥😥😥

"ajeeb hai, sirf bahu, tum meri samajh k bahar ho Gauri"

Omkara ko in 3 words k variations k siva pov k naam pe na kuch mila hai and na hi kuch milega. Fucking hell, like can't they spend over 3 minutes on him and actually show what he's feeling? Bas every single time she leaves him standing, he's like kuch samajh nahi aa raha. It's not rocket science Om. Woh bhi samajhna try karoge toh ek na ek din aa hi jayega. But if you don't even open the book toh kya khaak samajh ayega? Duffer 🙄🙄🙄

Lol, finally someone appreciating Gauri. I hate this dumbass daadi, but she's legit the only one who cares about Gauri's talents. Baki sab toh bichari ko change karne me lage hue hain. 🙄🙄🙄

Wow, omkara ka munh bas dusron ko defend karne ke time khulta hai. Apni biwi/roommate/teammate ko defend karne ke time 10 tole ka taala lag jaata hai 👏👏👏👏

I guess that's it for today. What a bekar epi. This track is giving me high-key michmichi but I'm still low-key amused at this fuckery. I truly love hate-watching this trashfire 😂😂😂

Kareena Kapoor Khan To Join Irrfan Khan’s Angreezi Medium Team From 15th May

Soon, Kareena Kapoor Khan will be going in to an uncharted territory with her cop avatar in Irrfan Khan Starrer Angreezi Medium. Preparation for the part has been started by Kareena already. In addition to Irrfan Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, Radhika Madan and Ranvir Shorey are also part of the movie. First schedule has been started in Udaipur from the last month. However, Kareena is expected to join the team from 15th May in Mumbai.

For playing part of a cop, Kareena is really excited. It is believed that Kareena has discussed about her character in details with director Homi Adjania in the past. According to one of our sources, “Kareena has started prep for Angrezi Medium. Since she’s playing a cop for the first time, she’s been discussing her character with director Homi Adajania. She will shoot in Mumbai for around a week before the team flies to London in June where a big chunk will be shot. She is not romantically paired with Irrfan but has an important role in the narrative”

Recently, Kareena has completed the shooting of Good News also where she will be seen with Akshay Kumar, Kiara Advani and Diljit Dosanjh. Raj Mehta is directing the movie which will hit the screen on 6th September.

During an interview with ‘Humans of Mumbai’, Kareena has disclosed a little bit about her personal life. On the occasion, she has said how Saif has supported her to overcome her professional woes. Kareena has told, “Somehow throughout my career and my life, I’ve been blessed with people who have loved and supported me so thoroughly! So just when I thought I was falling, Saif caught me. I’d met him numerous times before, but when we were filming Tashan, something changed. I wore my heart on my sleeve around him. He was so utterly charming; I fell for him hook, line, and sinker.”

7 Bollywood Divas Who Happily Chose To Tie The Knot With ‘Once-Married’ Men

New Post has been published on https://healingawerness.com/getting-healthy/getting-healthy-women/7-bollywood-divas-who-happily-chose-to-tie-the-knot-with-once-married-men/

7 Bollywood Divas Who Happily Chose To Tie The Knot With ‘Once-Married’ Men

7 Bollywood Divas Who Happily Chose To Tie The Knot With ‘Once-Married’ Men Niharika Nayak Hyderabd040-395603080 January 27, 2020

Bollywood has had its fair share of scandals and controversies. Managing a career whilst being married to a film star is one thing, but managing your own acting career and being married to a superstar is even crazier. Many Bollywood households had imposed outdated rules on their daughters and daughters-in-law (The Kapoor family men and their aversion towards their wives working in the film industry after marriage). And in some cases, married actors would even tie the knot with other women while being married to their current partners (Salim Khan and Helen).

Here is a list of divas who didn’t care about ‘‘log kya kahenge’’ and married the men they loved:

1. Kareena Kapoor-Khan

therealkareenakapoor / Instagram

The Kapoor and Khan families are both considered Bollywood royalty. And in the case of Saif Ali Khan, he is actual royalty. The young Nawab of Pataudi was once married to Amrita Singh who was 12 years his senior. Saif had allegedly tied the knot with the actress despite his family not being okay with it. Unfortunately, their marriage lasted only 13 years and the couple parted ways. Saif was linked to multiple women before he met his future wife, Kareena Kapoor, on the sets of their film, Tashan. The pair dated for six years before deciding to tie the knot and settling down on October 16th in 2012. Kareena and Saif share a son together, Taimur Ali Khan. Saif’s daughter Sara has also opened up about her relationship with Kareena and said they get along very well. The blended family is often seen spending time together and is a super close-knit kin.

2. Sridevi

sridevi.kapoor / Instagram

When Sridevi fell in love with Boney Kapoor, he was a married man. That did not stop the pair from having clandestine meetups and seeing each other. However, the actress found out she was pregnant and allegedly asked Boney Kapoor to leave his family for her. News about the pregnancy and affair spread across the industry and the Mr India actress was called a home-wrecker. Boney left his first wife and his two children with her to marry Sridevi and the pair tied the knot on June 2nd, 1996. Things were very tense between Boney Kapoor’s ex-wife and children and his new wife and him and they were made worse when Boney began a new family with Sridevi. The pair share two daughters, Khushi and Janhvi Kapoor. Unfortunately, the veteran actress met her demise in early 2018 right before her older daughter Janhvi’s movie debut. During this tumultuous time, Arjun and Anshula, Boney’s older children stepped in and helped the family cope with the loss. The family has since made amends and Arjun has even appeared on Koffee With Karan with his half-sister.

3. Hema Malini

filmyzar / Instagram

In 1954 a young Dharmendra tied the knot with a woman by the name of Parkash Kaur. They had four children together, Sunny, Bobby, Vijeeta and Ajeeta. However, this did not stop the veteran actor from setting his sights on the vivacious and youthful Hema Malini. The stunning lass was aptly monikered as the “Dreamgirl of Bollywood”. Despite him confessing his love for her, Hema Malini insisted she did not want to pursue him since he was already married. So the actor asked Parkash for a divorce but she refused to give him one. Since he really wanted to be married to Hema Malini, the actor converted to Islam so he could have two wives. The pair share two daughters, Esha and Ahana Deol together.

4. Shabana Azmi

hs.news / Instagram

Javed Akhtar and Honey Irani tied the knot in 1972 and shared two kids, Farhan and Zoya Akhtar together. The couple was very much in love but after a few years of marital bliss, Javed fell in love with Shabana Azmi. After news of Javed’s affair broke, Honey asked him to split up with her and they began living separately. Javed and Honey got divorced six years later and he and Shabana got married in 1984. Although Zoya and Farhan were initially upset about their father’s decision to remarry, they grew warm towards Shabana after discovering how loving she was. The family is on very good terms now and Shabana is very proud of both her step-children.

5. Lara Dutta

larabhupathi / Instagram

The former Miss World tied the knot with ace tennis player, Mahesh Bhupathi in February 2011. The sportsman was previously married to a model by the name of Shvetha Jaishankar. The model accused Mahesh of infidelity and claimed Lara was responsible for the demise of her marriage and stated that the actress and Mahesh dated while she and Mahesh were still married.

6. Juhi Chawla

iamjuhichawla / Instagram

Juhi Chawla’s love story with her husband Jay Mehta is one for the ages. Before he met Juhi, Jay was married to Sujata Birla, the sister of Yash Birla. Unfortunately, Sujata passed away in an unfortunate plane crash that occurred in Bangalore in 1990. The lively actress met Jay during this tragic time and they ended up being each other’s pillars of support and eventually fell in love. After a five year long courtship, during which Juhi’s mother and brother also passed away, the pair tied the knot in 1995.

7. Helen

The woman who brought cabaret to Bollywood tied the knot with famed scriptwriter Salim Khan despite him still being married to his first wife, Salma. Although the family has admitted it took some getting used to, Salim’s children eventually accepted Helen as a second mother. Helen and Salma patched things up as well and are said to share a sisterly bond. Helen gets along very well with all four of her step-children and is very fond of them.

Sometimes marriages don’t work out and that’s the harsh truth of life. However, infidelity isn’t something that can be justified and the children of divorced couples have a hard time digesting certain facts regarding their parents. So, while it’s important to pursue your love interest, it’s harmless to say that you must be sure about the commitment you’re making when you get married. Which couple’s love story surprised you the most? Please tell us all your thoughts on this list in the comments below.
