The actress, who was also recently spotted doing yoga with veteran actor Dharmendra, on International Day of Yoga, said, "Dharmendra sir mein bahut energy hai. He truly proves that age is just a number.'

In an earlier interview with BT, Ekta shared how she is hoping to do meaty roles in films. She said, "With OTT platforms, there are many opportunities for actors, who are cast in supporting roles.

I am enjoying this phase where we are able to choose interesting roles." Ekta, who has been part of TV shows like Naina, Inspector Vijay, Kahin Diya Jale and films Taal and Trahimaan, added, "In the past few years, I have got a lot of time to learn new skills, and in addition to acting, I also learnt many things on social media.
I shot for an Indo-Chinese film, recently and am looking forward to its release soon."

Ajay Devgn honoured for Maidaan role
Ajay Devgn Ajay Devgn has bagged the Best Actor (Male) – Movies (Popular) award at the Movified Digital Awards for his powerful performance in the sports biopic Maidaan. Celebrating talent across OTT and theatrical releases, the second edition of the awards honoured storytelling excellence shaped by audience voices. Ajay Devgn starrer 'Maidaan', which hit the theatres in April this year, is received a decent response after its OTT premiere. A biographical drama about footballer Syed Abdul Rahim, 'Maidaan' featured Ajay Devgn in the lead role. The director also stated that during the theatrical release, not many people watched it, and all those who watched have 'only praised' it. In an earlier interview with BT, Ajay had shared how viewers' choices are different now. He said, 'I think that phase is over. Everybody knows that we are 50; we are still here and working. Times have changed. Viewers are accepting different kinds of films, which actors couldn't do earlier — right from a film like Raid (2018) to many other movies, where age is not really the criterion. Today's 50 is like yesterday's 40 or even 35. We feel as fit as we felt 25 years ago. So, I don't think that the age factor plays on the audience's mind. And in any case, I would always like to play characters that suit me. In fact, I get uncomfortable if I have to play a 30-year-old. If you see my last few films, I have never tried to play characters that are very young. Also, who doesn't know that I am 50 and my colleagues are either older or younger than me?'

How to defeat or sneak past BTs in Death Stranding 2?
(Image via Kojima Production Co., Ltd.) Death Stranding 2: On the Beach throws the players into a haunting world full of Beached Things (BTs), deadly and invisible entities that lurk within the environment. These are core and terrifying obstacles within Death Standing 2. To successfully navigate or confront entities is important for any porters who are braving a fractured landscape. The guide here reveals some crucial tactics for combat and stealth against otherworldly foes. Using it prepares for sharpening survival instincts. How to defeat BTs in Death Stranding 2 On the Beach or escape it? BTs remain invisible to one's naked eye, but you can track them using your Odradek scanner. When entering the BT zone, the sky will darken, and eerie music will start to play—a clear warning. The Odradek's flaps would spin and point to the nearby BTs, thereby indicating proximity. Note: The Odradek scanner that's linked to Lou offers critical warnings. Crouching would reduce noise and will make it hard for the BTs to defeat you. Moving slowly when monitoring the direction of Odradek will help in avoiding unwanted attention. If the scanner turns orange and starts spinning rapidly, it means BT is dangerously close. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo So, hold your breath to minimize detection risk. Death Stranding 2 - How To Kill The BTs Near The Research Lab (Avoid & Defeat BTs) If the worst happens and you get spotted, the environment will shift dramatically. Black tar would erupt and pull you towards the chaotic boss encounter. Fight to escape the grasp of tar, using the quick balance corrections (L2/R2) and the frantic shaking (Square). Sprint towards the edge of the zone desperately. Pro tip: When you get alerted, crouch and move deliberately and slowly in the opposite direction of Odradek's focus. Do not make sudden movements. Gear up the Anti-BT arsenal To flee is not always a choice, especially in a scripted boss fight. In such cases, anti-BT weapons will become essential. To confront BTs head-on requires some specialized weaponry. The standard firearms remain useless here. Early in the game, you will unlock vital BT ordnance like the Blood Grenades. It's crafted from synthetic DOOMS-mimicking blood. The grenades could inflict some real damage. To access them through Grenade Pouch. Aim with the use of L2 and then throw R2 when the red shadow of the targeting hologram confirms a direct hit on BT, thereby guaranteeing the hit. Note: Later unlocks like the Hematic round would offer some precision shots. Later, progress would unlock the firearms, firing some dedicated anti-BT rounds. They offer some precision but quite often have less raw stopping power than the grenades. Quite crucially, not all weapons within inventory would harm BTs. So, make sure to always check the detailed weapons stats screen before you venture into infested territory. Look for distinct ghost icons or just analyze the circular proficiency graph. The effectiveness against the BTs is marked clearly and is quite often indicated via color, reaching the Anti-BT point on the chart. Do not assume that the standard gear would work. For the unavoidable fights, do keep Blood Grenades stocked up and prioritize high-damage throws. The boss battles demand aggression. So, remain mobile, use terrain to the advantage, and exploit weaker points. Gameplay tips for Death Stranding 2 to survive BT Avoid any unnecessary fights. You can do it via crouching or holding your breath near the BTs. Escape smart. In case you are caught, sprint and then stabilize to break free of tar traps. Fight efficiently, and for it, use Blood Grenades and the Hematic weapons to deal maximum damage. Master all strategies, and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach's treacherous world would become far less daunting. Whether you are sneaking past or are just standing your ground, your prep will be the key to surviving in the game.
