Akshay Kumar opens up about wearing a saree in Laxmmi Bomb

Akshay Kumar will be seen in Raghava Lawrence’s Laxmmi Bomb which is a remake of the filmmaker’s Tamil film Muni 2: Kanchana. The story of the horror-comedy revolves around a man who gets possessed by the spirit of transgender.

A few months ago, Akshay had shared a still of the film in which he was seen wearing a saree. Recently, while talking to a tabloid, the actor stated that he is comfortable in a saree. Akki said, "I am comfortable in a saree and had no problem shooting in it. I love doing tricky stuff. It is one of the most difficult characters I have played. I had to internalise the character and get the body language right."


Well, Laxmmi Bomb was in the news as Lawrence had stepped down as the director of the film in the middle of the shoot as he had creative differences with the producers. While talking about it, Akshay said. "I have no idea what happened. Shabina (Khan, producer) and Raghava spoke and sorted out. Raghava is one of the finest directors when it comes to making a horror film. I respect him as a filmmaker. We started shooting (after the episode), and since then, nobody has even mentioned the incident. It's all good among us."

Laxmmi Bomb also stars Kiara Advani in the lead role. The film is slated to hit the screens on Eid 2020. It will be clashing with Salman Khan starrer Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. Earlier, Akshay's Sooryavanshi was slated to release on Eid 2020, but it was preponed to 27th March 2020.

Bad Daughter by Sangeeta Pillai is a defiant rejection of the ‘good Indian girl’ myth

Bad Daughter by Sangeeta Pillai is not just a memoir; it's a declaration of war against cultural conformity and a powerful roadmap for reclaiming one's authentic self. The title, a label often hurled at Pillai for daring to defy the rigid expectations placed on "good Indian girls" (Bad Betis), is proudly worn as a badge of honour. This raw and unflinching feminist memoir charts the author's incredible journey from a harrowing, poverty-stricken childhood in a Mumbai slum to becoming a celebrated global voice for South Asian women's issues in London.

Pillai grew up amidst the stark realities of domestic violence -a violent, alcoholic father and her mother who was later brutally murdered yet she refused to let these traumas extinguish the "fire in her belly." Her early life became an active battle against patriarchy, a fierce determination to reject the script laid out for her: arranged marriage, silence, and submission. She fought for her education, forged a path to financial independence, and eventually emigrated, carving out a new, successful life for herself, founding the award-winning Masala Podcast and the feminist platform Soul Sutras.
