Smriti Irani Reveals She Watched Brad Pitt's F1 Twice: ‘If You Love Stories Of The Underdog…'
Actress and politician Smriti Irani has heaped praise at cinematographer Deepak Malvankar for his exceptional work. She went on to recommend watching the latest Brad Pitt-starrer F1 and said that it's a great story for anyone who loves an unlikely winner.
Smriti took to her Instagram, where she shared two pictures. First featuring her in her 'Tulsi" look from 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi" along with Malvankar, who seems to be explaining a scene to the actress.
Smriti wrote: 'What you see on screen is an actor at work. What you feel on screen—that's Deepak Malvankar, cinematographer par excellence. The man in the shadows who lights up every frame, dreams in colour, and breathes life into the lifeless. Strange, perhaps, to see a TV show mentioned in the same breath as an international blockbuster.
'But that's the magic of craft—when it's driven by love, scale doesn't matter. Be it a daily soap or Formula 1, passion makes everything cinematic. #behindthescenes."
She also shared a proctor of 'F1," directed by Joseph Kosinski. The film stars Pitt as Formula One (F1) racing driver Sonny Hayes, who returns after a 30-year absence to save his former teammate's underdog team, APXGP, from collapse. Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, and Javier Bardem also star in supporting roles.
'P.S— Must watch F1 if you haven't already ( I did twice ) .. watch if you love stories of the underdog , if you are a has been that never was , if you like to see an unlikely winner , if you can carve victory out of a loss," Smriti concluded.
Talking about 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2,' the show also stars Rohit Suchanti, Hiten Tejwani, Gauri Pradhan, Shakti Anand, Kamalika Guha Thakurta, Ketaki Dave, Ankit Bhatia, Barkha Bisht among others.

'120 Bahadur' actor Farhan Akhtar opens up about his acting hiatus; says he take films seriously
Farhan Akhtar took a break from acting after 2021's 'Toofaan' to focus on producing. At the '120 Bahadur' teaser launch, he said he's selective about roles, seeking meaningful projects. Known for 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag', he's also directing 'Don 3', with rumors of Shah Rukh Khan's cameo. Farhan Akhtar hasn't appeared on the big screen as an actor for some time. His last acting role was in the 2021 film 'Toofaan', after which he concentrated on producing movies through his production company, Excel Entertainment. However, during the teaser launch of '120 Bahadur', Farhan opened up about the reasons behind his long break from acting. Taking films seriously: Farhan's selective approach Speaking to News18, Farhan spoke about coming back to the big screen, and said that he takes films very seriously and always tries to give the audience more than just entertainment. While entertainment is important as part of the theatre experience and the sense of community of watching something together, he feels there has to be something more than that. He admitted he could be called fussy, for lack of a better word, and that he waited for the right project to come along. A defining moment with 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' Farhan mentioned that the last time he truly felt compelled to tell a story was when Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra approached him with 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag', the 2013 biopic in which he played the role of the legendary Milkha Singh. That film became a major box office success and marked a significant turning point in his career. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Funny And Awkward family Photos That Will Brighten Up Your Day Undo About '120 Bahadur' '120 Bahadur' recounts the extraordinary true tale of 120 Indian soldiers who valiantly defended their post during the 1962 Battle of Rezang La—an event hailed as one of the greatest last stands in India's military history.

Elizaveta Krivonogikh: Who Is Putin's Art-Loving 'Secret' Daughter Living And Working In Paris?
Last Updated: Born on March 3, 2003, in St Petersburg, Elizaveta is a result of a suspected affair between Vladimir Putin and his ex-housekeeper Svetlana Krivonogikh in the early 2000s Elizaveta Krivonogikh – known to be Russian President Vladimir Putin's 'secret" daughter – is once again in the news. The 22-year-old Elizaveta, who goes by Luiza Rozova on Instagram, is presently living and working in Paris. In an apparent reference to Putin in a cryptic post shared from messages on her Telegram, she condemned the man who 'destroyed" her 'took millions of lives". WHO IS ELIZAVETA KRIVONOGIKH? Born on March 3, 2003, in St Petersburg, Russia, Elizaveta is a result of a suspected affair between Putin and his then-housekeeper, Svetlana Krivonogikh, in the early 2000s. Elizaveta works at art galleries in Paris after graduating from the ICART School of Cultural and Art Management in June 2024. She works under the name Elizaveta Rudnova. She is employed by two galleries – L Galerie in Belleville and Espace Albatros in Montreuil – both of which are known to curate anti-war and dissident art. While she has attracted her fair share of criticism for being connected to the Kremlin, there have also been those who have defended her. There has been much speculation around Elizaveta's parentage and this only increased after her mother Svetlana amassed a substantial amount of wealth following her birth. According to reports, Svetlana became a shareholder in Bank Rossiya and, by 2020, her net worth was estimated to be around $100 million – a possible result of being the recipient of hush money. The New York Post reported that Elizaveta's identity as Putin's daughter was revealed after an investigation by Russian media outlet Proekt in 2020, which cited her 'phenomenal resemblance" to him. While there is no name on her birth certificate, it does, however, mention 'Vladimirovna" that translates to 'daughter of Vladimir", it said. Besides, in 2021, late journalist and Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny had revealed her Instagram account. It depicted her lavish lifestyle and family's enormous wealth, but soon after the Russian military launched its military operation against Ukraine in 2022, her Instagram was suddenly deleted. Before the Ukraine conflict and her withdrawal from social media, she was known to have a high-profile lifestyle involving private jets, designer wear and exclusive clubs. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
