Himanshu Malhotra: Received praise for Gali Gulieiyan from all corners

Actor Himanshu Malhotra, who is the associate producer for Gali Gulieiyan, is thrilled with the response that the film has received from the industry. The actor says that people have been praising the film.

“It’s fantastic, fortunately, whosoever has seen the film is all praise for our film. We received 4 and 1/2 stars yesterday from critic Subhash Jha too,” he says, adding, “Right from Anupama Chopda to Rajeev Masand and Jitesh Pillai, everyone has been appreciating the film and, of course, Manoj Bajpayee Ji’s performance. There has been fortunately a great buzz in the industry as well regarding our film. Now, we are eagerly waiting for the audience response on 7th September.”


The actor wants to produce in the future as well but will continue to act too. “I would surely want to balance both acting and producing. It is taxing in the beginning but with God’s grace, the end result is certainly satisfying. I will surely continue to produce in the future,” he says.

Ask him if he will produce a TV show, and he says, “I have not thought about producing a TV show at the moment, but I would surely want to give that a shot as well. In all probability, it will be for only 26 episodes. Short and crisp.”

Meanwhile, the actor is also hosting his talk show Share And Grow Spotlight and loves being part of it. “I love my chat show and with God’s grace, it has been doing really well. The celebrities, who are being invited, are truly kind to us and grace our platform willingly. Their journeys have been super inspiring. I myself learn so much through their stories and journeys. I would definitely like to call varied people from different fraternities to help us all grow together through each other’s experiences,” he says, adding, “ My wish list includes Chetan Bhagat, Gautam Gambhir, Pullela Gopichand, Michelin star chef Vikas Khanna and so many others.”

Young British Asians finally get a platform on BBC Asian Network to talk identity, mental health and work life

Highlights:

  • BBC Asian Network is starting a new show called Asian Network Trending.
  • The show runs for two hours every week and is made for young British Asians.
  • It covers the topics that matter most to them like what’s trending online, questions of identity, mental health etc.
  • Amber Haque and the other hosts will share the show in turns, each talking about the issues they know and care about.
  • The network is moving to Birmingham as part of bigger changes behind the scenes.

Speaking up isn’t always easy. This show gives young people a space where their voices can be heard. Music on the radio, sure. Bhangra, Bollywood hits, endless remixes. But real conversations about identity, family pressure, mental health? Rarely. Until now.

From 27 October, Asian Network Trending goes live every Wednesday night for two hours of speech instead of beats. The first hour dives into trending news; the second hour goes deeper into family expectations, workplace racism, LGBTQ+ issues, and mental health stigma. And it’s not just one voice. Amber Haque and other rotating presenters keep it fresh.
