Character Edge
Abhishek Banerjee has a knack for telling gritty, real-life stories with the ease of someone who may have lived to tell the tale. His performance as the ruthless, cold-blooded hitman Hathoda Tyagi in Pataal Lok Season 1 continues to be a talking point among viewers. He is back on screen in the edgy thriller Stolen, inspired by the horrific Karbi Anglong lynching event of 2018, in which two men were brutally killed after being falsely accused of child trafficking. The film, which marks the directorial debut of Karan Tejpal, had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in 2023. Two years after being screened at international film festivals, it has finally released on Prime Video. 'The film was pitched to me as a road action movie, which they wanted to shoot in a single take. I thought that was rather ambitious, since it is not an easy feat to pull off. But the story was very exciting. I like experimenting with genres and styles of filmmaking, which enriches me as an actor. People are always comparing the mediums of theatre and OTT, and for me, every film—everything you do—is a different medium, because the format is going to change. I just love jumping from medium to medium,' says Banerjee.

She shared the poem in Hindi that was later translated into English. This is what she read: Jab tum akele ho, Main tumhare paas baith jaungi. Jab tum udaas ho, Main tumhe baahon main bhar loongi. Mujhe pata hai tum kho jaate ho. Mujhe pata hai tum bhaag jaate ho. Lekin main tumhe dhoond loongi, aur tumhe thaam loongi. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Netizens react One wrote- 'Lately, I've been noticing something different about Shraddha Kapoor. In her recent photos, her smile doesn't feel the same—it's like it's missing the spark we all used to see. There are faint dark circles under her eyes, and the glow she always carried seems a bit dimmer. Maybe I'm overthinking… but it feels like she's silently going through something.' A second said, 'Life's complicated-even and especially for those in the public eye. They have the same insecurities as we do, but they live in a bubble so they don't always get to touch grass. The least we can do is practice kindness towards everyone - friends, families, neighbors, coworkers and strangers. We don;t know the load of the cross they are carrying.' A third commented- 'Life is hard and 2025 has particularly been hard for a lot of people. Wishing her strength.' On her father Shakti Kapoor In an interview with Firstpost in 2023, Shraddha said, 'He gifted me the newspaper clipping that said Aashiqui 2 100 crore worldwide. He has seen my most stubborn side. I fight with him a lot and then go to my bedroom and ask myself, 'Listen, he's your father but do you know who he is?' She added, 'He makes me more humble, and because I'm an over thinker, he tells me I don't have to complicate things. He streamlines a lot of things for me, and I feel my most real side comes in front of my father.'
