By: Mohnish Singh

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is a force to reckon with, who has established himself as one of the most celebrated filmmakers across the globe. Every actor wants to work with him. So, when he approaches someone even for a small role, it is an opportunity no one would like to miss out on. If reports are to be believed, Huma Qureshi has just netted a big opportunity of working with the successful filmmaker.


According to reports, Qureshi has agreed to feature in a special song in the celebrated filmmakers’ upcoming directorial offering Gangubai Kathiawadi. Yes, you read that right. The actress will be seen in a special song in the much-awaited film which stars Alia Bhatt in the lead role.

This is indeed a big opportunity for the actress who has previously starred in several notable films belonging to different genres. Bhansali is a director nobody wants to say no to. Before Huma Qureshi, Priyanka Chopra has also done a special number in his 2013 blockbuster Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram Leela. Her sizzling song number was one of the major highlights of the Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone directorial.

Several media outlets report that Bhansali was looking for an actress who could also emote to the evocative lyrics as it is not going be a Mujra song. The song which Huma Qureshi has been roped in to perform is an earthier item number details of which are currently under wraps.

Gangubai Kathiawadi is one of the most awaited films of 2021. It was earlier scheduled to hit the marquee on 11th September, 2020. However, the makers had to postpone the release of the film to 2021 due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Bhansali is currently busy wrapping up the remaining portion of the period drama in Film City, Mumbai.

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.
