Hina Khan does THIS to perfect her part in Damaged 2

Hina Khan, who became a household name after playing the central character in Star Plus’ long-running show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and then multiplied her fan following by appearing on Salman Khan’s controversial reality show Bigg Boss, has now made a crossover to films and the digital space.

The actress will soon be seen in an upcoming web-show titled Damaged 2. It is a psychological crime drama with supernatural elements. Talking about her character Gauri Batra in the series, Hina says, "Gauri is a complex person. She is burdened by her secrets and that has caused her to smoke and be dependent on alcohol, which prevents her from being in her senses.”

Since her character smokes a lot, Hina decided to smoke in a couple of scenes to maintain authenticity. “I am strictly against smoking and have been very outspoken about it. However, the show required me to smoke for a few scenes. Since I have asthma, my director was concerned about me. However, to maintain authenticity, I did smoke and the experience strengthened my resolve to never smoke or let any of my loved ones smoke in real life. For a non-smoker, smoking in front of the camera is one of the toughest parts of acting," she concludes.

Praising the talented actress, director Ekant Babani says, "Hina is a thorough perfectionist and very sporting about having to shoot the smoking scenes for Damaged 2, even though she does not support smoking."

Besides Hina Khan, Damaged 2 also stars Adhyayan Suman in the lead role. The series will be available to stream on Hungama Play soon.

Anurag Kashyap calls Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos "the definition of dumb" over 'Sacred Games' remark

Anurag Kashyap is known for being outspoken, and this weekend he made headlines again, this time taking aim at Netflix’s top boss Ted Sarandos. The filmmaker lashed out after Sarandos questioned the streaming platform’s early approach in India, particularly their decision to kick things off with Kashyap’s gritty crime drama Sacred Games in 2018.

During an interview on Nikhil Kamath’s podcast People by WTF, Sarandos said he may have chosen a more “populist” route if he could go back, admitting the series was perhaps too novel for the Indian market at the time. The comments didn’t sit well with Kashyap, who fired back on social media, calling Sarandos “the definition of dumb” and sarcastically suggesting the platform should’ve launched with traditional “saas-bahu” content instead.
