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.”
Second year in a row for the British Indian model on the VS runway.
Only Indian face in the line-up.
She wore a blush pink set with a sheer skirt.
The show itself featured a pregnant model, athletes, and the overall diversity push.
It happened in New York, with performances, the usual big production.
So Victoria's Secret dragged its wings out of storage for another show. And in the middle of that whole glittery circus, one face felt particularly significant. Neelam Gill was back again for the second time. In a sea of models, she is the sole Indian representative. That’s a pretty stark fact when you consider it. The show took place in New York, with all the expected glitz, but Gill's presence is what truly resonates.

What does her presence mean?
One model, one spot, in 2025. On the surface, it feels almost pathetic. But then you see a photo of her there, in that specific context, and it somehow feels huge. This isn’t about a headcount. It’s about her, specifically her, standing in a spot that was off-limits for so long. Gill herself has spoken about not seeing anyone who looked like her in these spaces while growing up. She is now that image, and it is significant.
Right, the look. This year it was a departure from last year’s icy blue. She wore a dreamy, almost dusty pink lingerie set. The bottoms had a slight shimmer. They placed a sheer, floaty skirt over the set that trailed a bit. It was less about the typical angel wings and more of an ethereal, graceful vibe. It worked. It felt sophisticated, a bit quieter than some of the other looks, but it certainly made you look.

The wider show context
The show around her was, well, busy. Jasmine Tookes, honestly, you couldn't miss her, gliding down the runway nine months pregnant. It was actually pretty powerful. The Hadid sisters did their thing, obviously. The entire cast seemed designed to make a statement, throwing in some curve models and an athlete or two. It’s all part of the new playbook and they are clearly ticking boxes.
