Emraan Hashmi on working with Amitabh Bachchan in Chehre: It seems like I have achieved a huge milestone

By Murtuza Iqbal

Emraan Hashmi and Amitabh Bachchan will be seen on the big screen together for the first time in the upcoming film Chehre. Recently, the teaser of the film was released, and it has received a good response.


While talking about his experience of working with Big B, Emraan stated,   “I felt like the wait is over. We have grown up following Amitabh Bachchan sir and every artist in the industry desires to work with him. It seems like I have achieved a huge milestone in my career. More than a co-actor he has been a tutor and a friend to me during the shoots of Chehre.”

“I was delighted yet a bit nervous while acting with Amitabh Bachchan Sir. He is an institution in himself and to share the screen with him means pulling your socks up every time you step on the set. Also, it is impossible to match his speed on the sets and the way he functions is commendable. I have learned a lot from him,” he added.

Apart from Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi, Chehre also stars Annu Kapoor, Dhritiman Chatterjee, Raghubir Yadav,  Krystle D’Souza, Siddhanth Kapoor, and Rhea Chakraborty.

Directed by Rumy Jafry, the movie is slated to release on 9th April 2021.

National Trust pledges equality in access to nature and heritage

THE National Trust – which wants more Eastern Eye readers to visit its properties, apply for jobs with the organisation, become curators and offer to become volunteers – is marking its 130th anniversary by announcing an ambitious 10-year plan “to end unequal access to nature, beauty and history”.

The trust, it emphasised, “is for everyone”. Its director general, Hilary McGrady, said: “For 130 years, the National Trust has responded to the crises and challenges of the time. Today, nature is declining before our eyes and climate change is threatening homes and habitats on a colossal scale. Meanwhile, millions of people can’t enjoy the benefits that green space and heritage bring.”

‘Events in 2024 have shown that social cohesion cannot be an afterthought’

THE past year was marked by significant global events, and the death and devastation in Ukraine, the Middle East and Sudan – with diplomatic efforts failing to achieve peace – have tested our values.

The involvement of major powers in proxy wars and rising social and economic inequalities have deepened divisions and prolonged suffering, with many losing belief in humanity. The rapid social and political shifts – home and abroad – will continue to challenge our values and resilience in 2025 and beyond.

As we come together to mark World Leprosy Day on Sunday 26 January, we are reminded that leprosy remains a symbol of stigma and despair for millions.
