Geetanjali Singh on her upcoming film Falsafa, her character and much more

Actress Geetanjali Singh, who has been a part of such successful shows as Million Dollar Girl and Tumhari Pakhi, will soon be seen in the upcoming film Falsafa. Talking about the film she says, “Falsafa: The Other Side is the film that I have just shot for. The movie talks about the other side of revenge. It talks about the evil side of us, how we take the wrong path or evil decisions in one moment of anger and how if we can control that particular moment that can change many lives. It is a story of real characters, real reactions. The story starts with Aman's character and then comes Esha's character, which I am playing, and there are other characters with multiple layers in the story as well. It has a great concept and a very strong message which people should see and think about,” she says.

The actor is very fond of her character in the movie. “I am playing Esha's character. Esha is simple yet she is very strong. She is careful from inside, yet she is carefree in her attitude. She loves her father and cannot imagine her life without him. The only male figure, a hero figure in her life is her papa. The day she loses him, she goes through a shock. There is so much pain inside her, but she tries to show that she can control everything. Her character grows with the story,” she adds.


Ask her what her falsafa is in life, and Geetanjali says, “My falsafa is, I think, to just focus on what you really want in life and just go with the flow. Life will have its ups and downs and you just have to get on board.”

The actor has worked in both films and TV and says that both mediums are very different. “TV and films both are good and on both platforms, we learn so many different things. Definitely, there is a different kind of pressure while doing TV as there are so many last minute changes in the script and you get dialogues right on the sets at times. You have to perform in a very short span of time. So, it’s a different kind of learning experience. On the other hand, in films, we get time to prepare for the character but then it is for a larger set of the audience, so it is more demanding and we have to be more responsible as actors,” she says.

After this film, she is on the lookout for more interesting roles. “I want to do as many different characters as possible. I want to focus on more realistic characters and concepts. What else can an actor wish for?” she says.

Ask her who is on her wish list and she says, “There are many actors who I love but my favourite is undoubtedly Irrfan Khan. I think he is effortless and a great actor and a beautiful person. I really admire him a lot. So, Irrfan Khan and Shah Rukh Khan top my list. But I want to work with everyone because every actor, every filmmaker, actually every person teaches you a new thing.”

The rise of Tollywood: Why UK Asians feel more ‘seen’ in Telugu films

Highlights:

  • British Asians connect with stronger, rooted Telugu heroes.
  • Pawan Kalyan’s They Call Him OG smashed overseas records.
  • More UK cinemas now screen Telugu films to meet demand.

The queue for a new Bollywood film was quiet. But around the corner, snaking down the street in a British city, a different queue was buzzing. It was not for a Hollywood blockbuster. The chatter was not in Hindi. It was in Telugu, English, and regional British Asian dialects, all waiting for a Pawan Kalyan film. This scene is becoming the new normal.

Aishwarya Rai and Simone Ashley rewrite South Asian stardom: The Paris Fashion Week selfie that said it all

Highlights:

  • A backstage selfie of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Simone Ashley went viral.
  • Aishwarya Rai walked the runway in a dramatic Indian sherwani.
  • Her outfit featured 10-inch diamond-embellished cuffs.
  • Ashley represents the rising power of the diaspora.
  • She is best known for her lead role in Bridgerton.

That photo wasn’t planned. It was a quick snap backstage in Paris. Two women, Aishwarya Rai and Simone Ashley, leaned together for a second. One is a titan of Bollywood, a global icon for decades. The other is a British star who smashed her way into one of Netflix’s biggest shows.

The image went viral instantly. But why did this particular picture hit so hard? It’s because it shows a fracture in the old rules. For years, these two paths to fame, one from the heart of Indian cinema, the other from the Western diaspora, ran on separate tracks. That selfie is the moment the tracks collided.

Lady Gaga is rewriting pop show rules with Mayhem Ball chaos in London

Highlights:

  • Gaga's current tour makes other major pop productions look strangely safe.
  • The star incorporates injury and personal struggle directly into the performance.
  • Guest appearances feel organic to the show's world, not just celebrity drop-ins.
  • The production values are less about slickness and more about a raw, gothic atmosphere.
  • It presents a new blueprint for how pop stars can merge theatre with a stadium show.

Forget what you know about big pop tours. Lady Gaga’s Mayhem Ball, now storming UK arenas, feels less like a concert and more like a hostile takeover of the format itself. Mayhem Ball takes her new album, mixes it with two decades of hits, throws in some zombies, gondolas, and even crutches, and somehow lands as a coherent experience. It’s messy and full of drama, and that’s exactly what a great pop show should be. It’s not just about singing the songs correctly.
