Jennifer Winget on steering clear of saas-bahu sagas

Jennifer Winget needs no introduction! Ever since beginning her acting career on television, she has been a part of several successful shows, including Dill Mill Gayye, Saraswatichandra and Bepannaah. But if one talks about that one show which gave a meteoric rise to her popularity and fanbase in India and around the world, it has to be Sony Entertainment Television’s thriller Beyhadh.

After impressing the audience with her shrewd, sharp and evil character of Maya in Beyhadh, Jennifer has just returned to reprise the same role once again in Beyhadh 2, the second season of the series. The show premiered on 2nd December and has been performing extremely well ever since its launch.

If you look at the kind of shows that Jennifer Winget has done so far, you would agree that her roles have always been different and far away from being ordinary. During a recent interview, when the talented actress was asked as to why does not she takes up shows which are the quintessential saas-bahu sagas, she said that it is important that when she does a TV show, there is clarity and a defined start and end to it.

“It is not that I have kept away from the usual TV shows but when the entire team is in sync with a particular concept, there is a certain satisfaction in working. Also, I am very lazy, so I take up something only when I really like the concept,” said the actress.

When was about her fascination for picking up complex characters, Jennifer Winget said, “I would love to play a housewife, a psychopath, do comedy, action or take up any other kind of role. After I played an obsessive lover in Beyhadh, I did Bepannaah where the woman is cheated on by her husband. So, they are two different characters,” concluded the actress.

Retro reviews say Suriya powers a visually striking but overstuffed gangster romance

Karthik Subbaraj’s Retro has sparked mixed reactions, with many applauding its grand vision and Suriya’s magnetic performance, even as the film struggles to balance style and substance. It’s a throwback in form and name, but with a narrative that jumps decades, from sepia-toned memories to blood-soaked confrontations.

At its core, Retro tells the story of Paarivelkannan (Suriya), an orphan marked by fate and forged in violence. Raised in a gangster household, his life takes an unexpected turn when love enters in the form of Rukmini (Pooja Hegde). The film teases a redemptive arc, can a man born into chaos escape it, or is violence his destiny?

David Attenborough turns 99 with a powerful message on industrial fishing in new documentary ‘Ocean’

Sir David Attenborough is marking his 99th birthday with the release of Ocean, a new feature documentary in which the veteran naturalist speaks more strongly than ever before against the environmental destruction caused by industrial fishing.

The film, which opens in UK cinemas on 8 May, focuses heavily on bottom trawling, a method Attenborough describes as "draining the life from our oceans". In a particularly stark moment, he states that the scars left by these vessels on the seabed are so extensive that “the trails of destruction can be seen from space”.
