Exclusive: Neena Gupta On Viral Dharmendra-Nafisa Ali Pair In Life In A Metro - "Saleability Is Not For Older People Like Us"
New Delhi: Neena Gupta will share screen space with her frequent collaborator Anupam Kher in Anurag Basu's Metro... In Dino. The former classmates at Delhi's National School of Drama (NSD) during the '70s have earlier worked in several films together. In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, Neena Gupta talks about the casting process of senior actors in Bollywood and whether she finds Dharmendra and Nafisa Ali's pair in the original Metro, that is 2007's Life in a... Metro, a competition for her and Anupam Kher's on-screen couple in its upcoming follow-up. Neena Gupta On Dharmendra-Nafisa Ali's Pairing In Life in a... Metro In Anurag Basu's 2007 film Life in a... Metro, Dharmendra and Nafisa Ali played a senior citizen couple. The novelty of the pairing and the intimate scene between the film veterans generated a lot of buzz at the time. Neena Gupta and Anupam Kher also play an elderly couple in Metro... In Dino, also directed by Anurag Basu. When asked if she sees the Dharmendra-Nafisa Ali pairing as a big competition to that of her and Anupam Kher's in the new film, a smiling Neena Gupta at first said, "I don't, I don't." "I would like to work with Dharamji one day. I actually worked opposite him in a film long ago. I can't remember the name right now. But the saleability of stars doesn't apply to us. Woh hero-heroine ke liye hota hai (That works for the lead pair). The director has a vision. They envision the characters visually. If we fit into that, they cast us," Neena Gupta further told NDTV. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Neena Gupta (@neena_gupta) The Panchayat star's remarks could be seen in the context of a 2019 tweet which pitched senior actors should play elderly characters in the film. The conversation started after Bhumi Pednekar and Taapsee Pannu played both the young and the elderly versions of the two sharpshooters in Tushar Hiranandani's Saand Ki Aankh. Based on the story of real-life sharpshooters Chandro Tomar and Prakashi Tomar, the film triggered a discussion about ageism and casting actors according to their age in movies. The post read, "I love Bhumi and Taapsee but I kinda wish older actors were cast in these roles. Could you imagine Neena Gupta and Shabana Azmi or Jaya Bachchan? #SaandKiAankh" In her response, Neena Gupta at the time wrote, "Yes, I was just thinking about this. Hamari umar ke role toh kam se kam humse kara lo bhai..." Yes i was just thinking about this hamari umar ke role toe kamsekam humse kara lo bhai — Neena Gupta (@Neenagupta001) September 24, 2019 Neena Gupta On Collaborating With Anupam Kher In Metro... In Dino Neena Gupta and Anupam Kher were last seen in Shiv Shastri Balboa (2023). They have also worked in films such as Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (1983), Utsav (1994), Meri Biwi Ka Jawaab Nahin (2004), and Uunchai (2022). Reflecting on their decades-old bond, Neena Gupta told NDTV, " Jab do good actors ek saath kaam karte hain na, chemistry ban hi jaati hai (When two good actors work together, chemistry happens naturally). I don't know why Anurag cast me or Anupam. But I wanted to work with Anurag for so long. And Anupam ko main itni achhi tarah jaanti hoon (I know him so well), we have done 24 shows in America. We were there for one-and-half months. We know each other's moods, habits and everything." " Agar actor naya bhi ho na, mujhe kaam karne mein koi problem nahi hota (Even if the actor is new, I don't feel any difficulty in working with them)" she added. Neena Gupta was last seen in the Amazon Prime original series Panchayat season 4. Speaking of Anurag Basu's Metro In Dino, the film boasts of an ensemble cast also featuring Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi and Konkona Sen Sharma. The film will be released in theatres on July 4.

Delhi-based actors Rajesh Tailang, Sanjeeta Bhattacharya react to Sunder Nursery video: Delhiites often lack civic sense
Days after the video showing visitors jumping into a pond at Delhi's Sunder Nursery went viral, the public response has only grown louder — and sharper. And now, it has celebrities like Rajesh Tailang and Sanjeeta Bhattacharya weighing in on the issue, too. Actors Rajesh Tailang and Sanjeeta Bhattacharya have reacted to the video of visitors entering a water body at Delhi's Sunder Nursery. The Instagram Reel, captioned 'SWIMMING POOL IN SUNDER NURSERY,' captured several groups of adults and children wading and splashing in one of the heritage site's water bodies during rainfall on June 29 (Sunday). Posted on Instagram on July 1, the clip has now clocked over 399k views and 5k comments, and continues to draw widespread criticism. Actor Rajesh Tailang, who regards Delhi as home — having gone to the National School of Drama here — called out the behaviour. 'I've often visited Sundar Nursery with close friends, and each visit has been a calming experience, surrounded by nature and history. It inspires a sense of responsibility to preserve both. But this recent incident reflects not just insensitivity, but also reminds me, sadly, how lacking we Delhiites often are when it comes to civic sense," the NSD alumnus tells us. Delhi-based actor and singer Sanjeeta Bhattacharya also echoed this sentiment and questioned the absence of intervention: 'As long as people aren't breaking rules, things should be fine. [But in this case] did they (the people in the video) not know this was not allowed? If so, was security not there at the time?' The site is managed by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture. According to the management, the unauthorised activity lasted for 17 minutes. Architect Ratish Nanda, the trust's CEO, informs: 'Sunder Nursery boasts of several water bodies. However, at none is public access to the water permitted. On Sunday, 29 June, a group of visitors ignored the clear signs prohibiting entry into the water and, with the onset of rains, entered the water channel at the Gardens of Delight for a total of 17 minutes from 8.02pm to 8.19pm. Fortunately, nobody was hurt and the fountains, lights and other electric equipment in the water channel were not damaged. We are grateful that many visitors aided the guards in ensuring that the inappropriate and dangerous activity was brought to a halt within minutes." As the video continues to circulate, many social media users have expressed fear that such incidents could result in tighter rules or reduced access to one of Delhi's most beloved public spaces. And while the rain may have invited a moment of indulgence, the city's growing backlash is clear: Sunder Nursery is a heritage site, not a water park For more, follow @

From delivering food to delivering dialogues, the stages in the life of a woman theatre artiste from Kolkata
Sangita Sarkar left Kolkata shortly after the pandemic and now she has returned — only that, back then, she was delivering food for Zomato during the lockdown, and now she is directing a play. For her, the bridge between the two phases was the National School of Drama (NSD). 'I was already a theatre artiste when I joined Zomato. I had graduated from Rabindra Bharati University and was part of the theatre group Bohurupee. I joined Zomato during the lockdown mainly to observe people closely and improve my acting skills, and also to make some money to help those who relied entirely on theatre for a living,' Ms. Sarkar, who has been an actor but is directing a play for the first time, told The Hindu. Titled Moonlight, the play is an adaptation of veteran Marathi playwright Mahesh Elkunchwar's work Sonata, and being staged on the evening of July 1 at the Tapan theatre in Kalighat. It's about three women, single by choice, living together, and the friendship and the trust between them, Ms. Sarkar said. Also read:Thespians hail renaming Kolkata's Star Theatre after Binodini Dasi as historic, yet futile Ms. Sarkar says she was still in school when she first contacted the NSD, hoping that she would get to relocate from one school to another, only to be told that she needed to be a graduate in order to apply for admission. That's when she took up theatre and drama at Kolkata's Rabindra Bharati University. In 2019, she applied for a seat in NSD, and months later came COVID-19. 'That's one period I don't want to think about, and yet I cannot ever forget it. That was a time when people could not reach people, they were imprisoned in their homes. I still remember the anxiety of people stationed abroad, who would order food for elderly parents living in Kolkata. I always believed that no job is lowly and the pandemic proved it. Those delivering food may be considered at the bottom of the social pyramid but back then, they were as important as doctors,' Ms. Sarkar said. The resident of Belgharia spent about six months working for Zomato in the early part of 2021, getting a valuable opportunity for human interactions, something that was otherwise missing at the time. 'When a delivery person walks into a restaurant and when a customer walks in — the way they are treated is so different. Only once, when it was raining, did a restaurant owner ask me to wait inside and offered me tea, and asked me if I had eaten. That's one gesture I can never forget,' Ms. Sarkar said. By early 2022, she had joined the NSD, and that experience, like her work for Zomato, turned out to be an insight into human behaviour. 'The NSD broadened my horizons. It made me rich. Once you are there, you rise above caste, language, religion. A place like that makes you wonder why people indulge in violence, why there are wars in the first place,' the artiste said. She recollected her most memorable moment at Zomato, and how it connected to her life as an artiste. 'Once when I rang the bell, the door was opened by a very young girl. She was surprised to see that a woman had come to deliver food on a scooter. Her look was that of amazement and admiration. I can never forget that. In fact, in NSD, we were once asked to perform a 'happy moment' scene, and I borrowed a T-shirt from a Zomato boy to recreate my encounter with this young girl,' Ms. Sarkar said.
