Great Bollywood start for gifted Gadar 2 girl Simratt Kaur Randhawa

BLOCKBUSTER film Gadar 2 has been this year’s biggest Hindi cinema success story. Although all eyes have been on established stars Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, the hit sequel has been a star-making moment for Simratt Kaur Randhawa.

After appearances in Telugu cinema and popular music videos, the talented young actress is now firmly in the spotlight with a winning Bollywood debut and is looking forward to shining brightly in the years ahead. At a time when Hindi cinema is desperately crying out for more young stars, she has now made herself one to watch.


Eastern Eye caught up with the terrific talent with nearly two million Instagram followers to find out more about her Gadar 2 journey and future hopes.

How much does the success of Gadar 2 mean to you?

The success of Gadar 2 only means that if one works honestly, they get the results and after seeing this success it has only motivated me more to select the best scripts and give my best performances in the future.

 What was the experience of working on the film?

The experience of working on this film was surreal and overwhelming. Honestly, it was like a rollercoaster ride. I laughed, cried and learned so much. I got the experience of working with senior actors. So, overall, it was everything one should experience in their debut.

 Did you learn anything new while working on the film?

Yes, I learnt Kathak for 20 days, which was great. I did practice a little bit of Urdu language for my character. But the whole journey was a great learning experience.

What is the plan going forward and do you have a dream role?

The plan now is to wait and select the right projects. As an actor, honestly, I want to do every type of role and play every character. But I would love to do something related to the Indian army or probably play a sports player on the big screen. Ultimately, I am open to challenging roles in any genre.

Who would you love to work with?

I want to work with every talented person in the industry, as every director, production and actor has something different to offer. But someone I really want to work with once in this lifetime has to be (filmmaker) Sanjay Leela Bhansali sir.

What inspires you as an actress?

Everything around me inspires me in some or the other way. Plus, I’m a creative person, so I just want to communicate with the world through my performances and that thing really inspires me.

What are your biggest passions away from work?

I love playing Casio (keyboard) and painting and some sports activities.

A lot of people have watched you in Gadar 2, but what do you enjoy watching the most as an audience member?

I like watching something related to the nation and really enjoy love stories, but my favourite is animated movies.

Why do you love cinema?

I live and breathe cinema because it’s the only platform where you can showcase so many different emotions and characters. Being in front of the camera definitely gives me a different kind of high, which I don’t think I have ever felt anywhere else.

One year on, Starmer still has no story — but plenty of regrets

Do not expect any parties in Downing Street to celebrate the government’s first birthday on Friday (4). After a rocky year, prime minister Sir Keir Starmer had more than a few regrets when giving interviews about his first year in office.

He explained that he chose the wrong chief of staff. That his opening economic narrative was too gloomy. That choosing the winter fuel allowance as a symbol of fiscal responsibility backfired. Starmer ‘deeply regretted’ the speech he gave to launch his immigration white paper, from which only the phrase ‘island of strangers’ cut through. Can any previous political leader have been quite so self-critical of their own record in real time?

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.

Eye Spy: Top stories from the world of entertainment

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.
