Gavie Chahal recollects how during Tiger Zinda Hai shoot they were not allowed to enter a club in Austria

Actor Gavie Chahal is known for his performance as Captain Abrar in Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai. The actor recently had a movie released titled Yeh Hai India in which he plays the role of an NRI who comes to India to explore the country. We recently met Gavie and spoke to him about the film.

During the interaction, while talking about the discrimination Indians face, Gavie recollected that how during the shooting of Tiger Zinda Hai in Austria, he and his few co-stars were not allowed to enter a club. The actor said, “I was shooting Tiger Zinda Hai, we were in Austria. There was a club and after finishing the shoot, I with few of my colleagues went there and we were denied the entry. Actually, Austria wanted Salman Khan to promote their tourism. They requested Salman bhai to come and shoot over there. He (Salman Khan) did a favour by shooting there and they denied us the entry to a club.”


In the interview with us, Gavie also spoke about the third instalment of Ek Tha Tiger. He will also be seen sharing screen space with Sanjay Dutt in Torbaaz. Watch the whole interview here…

Jaivant Patel brings queer south Asian existence to the stage with 'ASTITVA'

Highlights:

  • Pushes back against old stereotypes, choosing to focus on joy and celebration instead of struggle.
  • It insists the community deserves stages for celebration, not just for sharing pain.
  • It walks through four raw, human chapters: Seeking, Desire, Acceptance, and Love.
  • Its core mission is putting brown, queer male bodies on stage in a way that is still rarely seen.

In an exclusive chat with Eastern Eye, choreographer Jaivant Patel spoke about ASTITVA, a new dance work that reimagines what it means to be queer and south Asian through movement, rhythm, and emotion.

ASTITVA translates to “existence,” an apt title for a piece born from the need to simply be seen and heard. It reflects Patel’s journey and the lived realities of queer south Asian people today.
