Here’s how Preity Zinta is dealing with lockdown

With the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic yet to be curbed, several countries across the world are currently under lockdown. As a result, the majority of the world population is isolated in their homes, including our beloved celebrities. To pass their time and elevate their mood in these challenging conditions, people are catching up on household chores, while a few are learning new things.

Bollywood actress Preity Zinta, who is currently in Los Angeles with her husband Gene Goodenough, is making the most of the opportunity by engaging in several productive activities. “My husband and I have been home for 22 days now. It has been tough but we are staying as positive and productive as we can,” she tells an entertainment portal over phone.


The actress goes on to add that she is learning new recipes from her mother in India. “I am learning a lot of new recipes from my mom in India. I learnt to make dosas and they turned out quite well, if I may say so myself.”

She is also devoting some time to keep herself fit and healthy. “I do work-out with Gene at home. We are not stepping out to the gym. But we manage to do enough exercises at home to enjoy the dosa without feeling guilty,” she says.

The actress is also keeping an eye on what is happening back home in India. “I end up sleeping late as I am watching the news in India at night and during the day here in the US. It is a crazy time and my heart goes out to all those unfortunate people who do not have food to eat and shelter over their heads. I wish I could do something for them.”

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.
