Fan Club Of The Week - Hiba Nawab

ACCLAIMED actress Hiba Nawab has delivered a series of winning turns on television and got herself dedicated admirers including Akansha Yadav from from Lucknow in India, who runs a fan club dedicated to her. Eastern Eye caught up with Akansha to find out more...

What made you set up the fan club? 


I made this account in July 2015 after watching Hiba Nawab in this amazing show Tere Sheher Mein where she played Amaya. After seeing

that, I was in love with her.

Tell us about your fan club...

Mine is the first fan club to be followed by Hiba on Instagram. It’s been three years since I have been running this account because I am in love with this girl. She is rowing everyday, trying new things and making us all proud.

What has been your most memorable moment? 

When I met her in Lucknow. She visited to promote her show Jijaji Chhat Par Hai and I asked to meet her, which she made happen.

What is the best thing you like about Hiba Nawab? 

She is just super-sweet with her fans. She likes as many edits as she can. She comments when she really likes something and even replies to fans. She comes live on Instagram

just to interact with us.

What is your favourite work Hiba has done? 

Her current show Jijaji Chhat Par Hai is my favourite work. I love all her work, but this one has my heart and she even won the Dadasaheb Phalke Award for this show.

Tell us an interesting fact about her?  

She is normal like every other girl. She loves clicking selfies, is a big time foodie, and knows how to make her fans feel special. She taught us to love yourself!

What is your definition of a true fan? 

A true fan is the one who always supports her role model no matter what the consequences are. They should be there to support and love their favourite. That’s all an actor needs, our support and love.

The 8-hour rebellion: Deepika Padukone walked off a blockbuster and lit a fire under Bollywood’s toxic work culture

It didn’t take a walkout on a picket line or a fiery press conference to shake the Indian film industry; it took Deepika Padukone quietly demanding, “Eight hours.” No dramatic monologue or sensational tweets. Just a simple request: humane hours, overtime pay, and a refusal to push her body and mind past the brink. And just like that, the conversation in Bollywood cracked wide open.

In an industry that glorifies overnight shoots, delayed pack-ups, and “dedication” measured in sweat, Padukone’s decision to exit a high-profile film, Spirit, over her demand for an eight-hour workday was certainly a career move for her. But beyond that, it was a cultural revolt.

Tom Felton returns as Draco Malfoy in Broadway’s 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child'

For the first time since the final Harry Potter film wrapped over a decade ago, Tom Felton is returning to the wizarding world, but not on screen. Instead, the actor is headed to Broadway, where he’ll take on the role of an adult Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The stage production, which continues the story 19 years after the original books, will now feature one of its most iconic characters portrayed by the man who first brought him to life.

Felton will join the cast at New York’s Lyric Theatre beginning 11 November 2025, for a limited 19-week run until 22 March 2026. This also marks his Broadway debut, making the moment doubly significant. Not only is he the first actor from the original film series to step into the stage version of the Potter universe, but he’ll be playing Draco at the exact age the character is in the play, creating a rare full-circle moment for both the actor and the fans.
