EYE SPY – BOLLYWOOD GOSSIP WITH ASJAD NAZIR

VARUN: LOVE ON HOLD?

HE MAY be on a high professionally, but Varun Dhawan seems to have problems in his personal life and has reportedly parted ways with his rumoured girlfriend Natasha Dalal.


If it is true, the hot right now actor just doesn’t have time to lament over a lost love because he is so in demand and has so many projects on the way. His busy schedule is perhaps what has put paid to the romance.

There won’t be a definitive answer on his relationship status because the actor has always fiercely guarded his private life and is unlikely to open up about it to the media any time soon.

TULSI: INSPIRING STORY

I RECENTLY attended the GG2 Leadership Awards with Tulsi Vagjiani and in my mind she is a bigger hero than any movie star. She has really inspired me this year and is also captivating celebrities with her story of overcoming tragedy to make a real difference. Although 2017, isn’t over yet, she is my personal hero of the year.

SIDHARTH’S BAD CHOICES

IT LOOKS like Sidharth Malhotra is facing the biggest crisis of his career. His latest release Ittefaq has made it a hat trick of high profile films that have underperformed and he will now have to do some serious soul searching to see what has gone wrong.

The first thing he needs to do is realise having a large female fan base and good looks aren’t enough to sustain a movie career. He will have to start choosing his projects more wisely or could find himself being left out in the cold.

His next release Aiyaary looks like it could turn things around for him, but he will be massively nervous now about the fate of that film.

AMIR’S BOXED IN

WHEN the story of the life of boxer Amir Khan is written, the lurid tales of him chasing women will overshadow anything he did in the ring or for charity.

There have been endless stories about his sexploits and it doesn’t look like they will stop in a hurry. Since the breakdown of his marriage to Faryal Makhdoom, he has been linked with various women and was most recently photographed with a Brazilian model, despite his soon-to be ex-wife being pregnant with their second child. Him constantly chasing women is perhaps the reason why people will forget about his many boxing achievements.

NIA RESOLVES TO BE FIERCE ALL YEAR ROUND

TV STAR Nia Sharma continues to heat up social media with fabulous photo shoots and show that she really is a bonafide fashion icon.

With 2017 coming to an end, I asked Nia if she would be making a New Year’s resolution and her reply was a definite no. The actress said she believes in being fierce all year round and anyone who follows her would agree that Nia lives by that mantra. Not surprisingly the highest placed small-screen star from last year’s list of 50 Sexiest Asian Women is a frontrunner again.

MAHIRA KHAN FLYING HIGH

PAKISTANI actress Mahira Khan has been delighting fans on the promotional trail of her soon-to be released film Verna. This included surprising passengers on a Karachi to Lahore flight and interacting with the staff on board. She was meant to be in the UK this week to promote the drama, which sees her team up with ace director Shoaib Mansoor again, but cancelled at the last minute.

JAMBO CINEMA: TICKET TO THE PAST

A LOT of exhibitions are put on every year, but very few invoke emotions in the British Asian community and reawaken memories from an important time in their history.

Producer turned artist Dawinder Bansal has managed to do that with her installation Jambo Cinema at the Wolverhampton Art Gallery. Her recreation of a 1980s living room brings back memories for first and second generation British Asians, but also enlightens those who have been bought up in the technology-driven, multi-cultural society of today.

That is why I would urge everyone to visit the installation, which is open until the end of the month or to find out more about the thought behind Jambo Cinema.

Comment: Can Starmer turn Windrush promises into policy?

Anniversaries can catalyse action. The government appointed the first Windrush Commissioner last week, shortly before Windrush Day, this year marking the 77th anniversary of the ship’s arrival in Britain.

The Windrush generation came to Britain believing what the law said – that they were British subjects, with equal rights in the mother country. But they were to discover a different reality – not just in the 1950s, but in this century too. It is five years since Wendy Williams proposed this external oversight in her review of the lessons of the Windrush scandal. The delay has damaged confidence in the compensation scheme. Williams’ proposal had been for a broader Migrants Commissioner role, since the change needed in Home Office culture went beyond the treatment of the Windrush generation itself.

Ed Sheeran and Arijit Singh’s ‘Sapphire’ collaboration misses the mark

The song everyone is talking about this month is Sapphire – Ed Sheeran’s collaboration with Arijit Singh. But instead of a true duet, Arijit takes more of a backing role to the British pop superstar, which is a shame, considering he is the most followed artist on Spotify. The Indian superstar deserved a stronger presence on the otherwise catchy track. On the positive side, Sapphire may inspire more international artists to incorporate Indian elements into their music. But going forward, any major Indian names involved in global collaborations should insist on equal billing, rather than letting western stars ride on their popularity.

If ayatollahs fall, who will run Teheran next?

Portraits of Iranian military generals and nuclear scientists, killed in Israel’s last Friday (13) attack, are seen above a road, as heavy smoke rises from an oil refinery in southern Teheran hit in an overnight Israeli strike last Sunday (15)

If ayatollahs fall, who will run Teheran next?

THERE is one question to which none of us has the answer: if the ayatollahs are toppled, who will take over in Teheran?

I am surprised that Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei, has lasted as long as he has. He is 86, and would achieve immortality as a “martyr” in the eyes of regime supporters if the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, succeeded in assassinating him. This was apparently Netanyahu’s plan, though he was apparently dissuaded by US president Donald Trump from going ahead with the killing.

Comment: Talking about race isn’t racist – ignoring it helped grooming gangs thrive

WAS a national inquiry needed into so-called grooming gangs? Prime minister Sir Keir Starmer did not think so in January, but now accepts Dame Louise Casey’s recommendation to commission one.

The previous Conservative government – having held a seven-year national inquiry into child sexual abuse – started loudly championing a new national inquiry once it lost the power to call one. Casey explains why she changed her mind too after her four-month, rapid audit into actions taken and missed on group-based exploitation and abuse. A headline Casey theme is the ‘shying away’ from race.
