The makers have used a middle-aged couple, played by Manish Chaudhari and Ayesha Raza to shed light on the fact that the root cause of the misogynistic attitude is that the men are brought up to believe that their wife is not only their partner, but someone who they own.

Freida Pinto To Lead Netflix Series Based On Jhumpa Lahiri's Unaccustomed Earth
Los Angeles: Indian actor Freida Pinto is set to headline Unaccustomed Earth, a series adaptation of author Jhumpa Lahiri's short story collection of the same title. The project was announced by streaming service Netflix in April and will feature eight episodes, according to entertainment news outlet Variety. Pinto, known for starring in critically-acclaimed and award-winning movies such as Slumdog Millionaire, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger and Love Sonia, will essay the role of Parul Chaudhury. Unaccustomed Earth is described as an "epic, soapy, and culturally vibrant drama about a tight-knit Indian American community navigating love, desire, and belonging". "Rich with nuance, passion, and unforgettable characters, 'Unaccustomed Earth' invites you into the elite and insular Indian-American community of Cambridge, MA. When a star-crossed romance between a devoted wife and her long lost love comes to light, a scandalous affair is born and new battle lines are drawn in this intensely interconnected immigrant community," the official logline read. The series will be written by John Wells, best known for developing hit American show "Shameless" and directing movies such as "August: Osage County" and "Burnt", in collaboration with Madhuri Shekar, who will serve as the showrunner. Ritesh Batra, the director of The Lunchbox and "Photograph, will helm and executive produce the first and second episodes. Filmmaker Nisha Ganatra, who had originally optioned the book and developed the series, will also executive produce.

Her 2003 novel The Namesake was famously adapted into a 2006 film by Mira Nair, starring Kal Penn, Tabu, and Irrfan Khan. Unaccustomed Earth will be produced by Warner Bros Television, where Wells is under an overall deal.

Astronomer CEO Kiss Cam scandal at Coldplay concert: All about Megan Kerrigan, the wife of Andy Byron
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron is under fire after being captured in a seemingly intimate moment with Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot during a Coldplay concert . The incident took place during the stadium's "kiss cam" segment, where the two appeared on the Jumbotron. The footage, showing Byron and Cabot in a brief embrace before reacting awkwardly, quickly went viral, fueling speculation about the nature of their relationship and raising questions about professional boundaries. Who is Andy Byron's Wife? Andy Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan , who has now distanced herself following the viral episode. Kerrigan, 50, currently serves as the Associate Director of Lower School and Hope Graham Program Admissions at Bancroft School in Massachusetts. In the wake of the controversy, she removed Byron's last name from her Facebook profile. Shortly thereafter, she deactivated her Facebook account entirely and deleted her Instagram account as media interest surged. Byron and Kerrigan share two children. The family has maintained a low public profile, and there's been no official statement from either spouse about the future of their relationship. What Happened at the Coldplay Concert? During the concert, the camera panned to Byron and Cabot, who were seen closely interacting before quickly pulling apart upon noticing they were on the big screen. Cabot turned her face away, while Byron shifted to the side, appearing visibly uncomfortable. Despite the brief nature of the footage, it sparked widespread discussions online, particularly due to their positions within the same company. The online response has ranged from mild curiosity to strong condemnation, with many raising concerns about workplace ethics and the appearance of impropriety between high-level executives. Byron reportedly issued an internal apology, which later became public, but it was widely criticized as inadequate. Live Events Meanwhile, Megan Kerrigan has garnered significant public sympathy. One user on X (formerly Twitter), known as Mrs. SpaceX, commented: 'Andy Byron's wife has now dropped her married name on Facebook and left comments open. What a class act! Go Megan. Get that divorce lawyer and get the money.' The incident has reignited conversations around the importance of maintaining personal and professional boundaries, especially among corporate leaders. As the story continues to unfold, it serves as a reminder of how private actions in public spaces can have far-reaching consequences—both at home and in the workplace.
