Priyank Tiwari is 'just going with the flow'

TALENTED actor Priyank Tiwari has made an impact with winning performances in diverse mediums that range from the drama serial Love J Action to Bollywood film Jabriya Jodi.

His forthcoming projects include being part of a strong cast in interesting looking web series U-Special, an original college-set drama produced by Lionsgate Play.


Eastern Eye caught up with the talented newcomer to find out more about him and his future hopes.

How would you describe your time as an actor so far?

I think it’s been absolutely tough and incredible at the same time. It’s been 10 years since I have been in the dream city of Mumbai and it’s been an absolutely roller-coaster ride for me.

Which role have you enjoyed doing most?

I enjoy whatever I am asked to play, but I am still waiting for that really challenging part.

How do you approach a new project?

(Smiles) By auditioning for a casting director. That’s how we actors initially approach a new role usually.

What inspires you as an actor?

This is the only job I love most. Playing different characters, wearing different costumes and portraying emotions is the only thing I am capable of, so there is always plenty of inspiration.

What is the plan going forward and who would you like to work with?

There is nothing like a ‘plan forward going’ for me. It’s just a simple ‘go with the flow’. I would love to work with all the best directors we have in our industry. If I have to name some, then definitely Anurag Kashyap sir, Raj Kumar Hirani sir, and Dibakar Banerjee sir – I hope someday I get a call from them for a project.

Who is your acting hero?

Irrfan Khan sir is the only acting hero for me. Whenever I watch his performances, the first thing that comes to mind is that I know his character and it feels like he is one of us, an everyday human being.

What do you like watching as a viewer?

I really enjoyed watching Tumbbad two years back. For me, it is like the best of the decade.

If you could master something new what would it be?

Actually, I want to learn many things, but to be very precise, I would most love to learn a musical instrument. I always wanted to learn to play the guitar. I also want to try gymnastics, but I know that’s not my cup of tea.

What is the best piece of advice you ever got?

The only and best advice I got in my life is from my mother, which is ‘stay calm, stay focused and you will achieve whatever you are meant for’. I always try to keep this in mind.

Anika Chowdhury reimagines chess with Glowborne, reviving its South Asian and East African origins

Highlights:

  • British-Bangladeshi prop maker Anika Chowdhury has designed a handcrafted glow-in-the-dark chess set celebrating heritage and identity.
  • The limited-edition set, called Glowborne, launches on Kickstarter in October.
  • Each piece draws from South Asian, Middle Eastern, and African cultural references, re-rooting chess in its origins.
  • The project blends art, storytelling, and representation, aiming to spark conversations about identity in play.

Reimagining chess through heritage

When Anika Chowdhury sat down to sculpt her first chess piece, she had a bigger vision than simply redesigning a classic game. A British-Bangladeshi prop maker working in the film industry, she grew up loving fantasy and games but rarely saw faces like hers in Western storytelling.

“Chess originated in India, travelled through Arabia and North Africa, and was later Westernised,” she explains. “I wanted to bring those forgotten origins back to the board.”

Banksy’s police box artwork in storage

A Banksy artwork known as Piranhas has been placed in storage ahead of its future display at the London Museum’s new Smithfield site, scheduled to open in 2026. The piece features spray-painted piranha fish covering the windows of a police sentry box, giving the illusion of an aquarium.

From Ludgate Hill to Guildhall Yard

The police box, which had stood at Ludgate Hill since the 1990s, was swiftly removed by the City of London Corporation after Banksy confirmed authorship. It was initially displayed at Guildhall Yard, where visitors could view it from behind safety barriers. The Corporation has since voted to donate the piece to the London Museum.

  • The Shahbaz Fayyaz Qawwal Group return to the UK with a nationwide tour after viral success online.
  • The ensemble of brothers blend centuries-old qawwali traditions with fresh improvisations that connect with young audiences.
  • From Pakistan to the USA and UK, their performances have won acclaim for their electrifying energy and spiritual depth.
  • Fans can expect new instruments, reimagined classics, and the same message of love and harmony at this year’s shows.

From viral sensation to global stages

When a performance goes viral, it can change an artist’s career overnight. For the Shahbaz Fayyaz Qawwal Group, their stirring renditions of Bhar Do Jholi and B Kafara propelled them from local fame in Pakistan to global recognition, amassing millions of views across platforms. What set them apart was not just the power of their voices, but the way their music resonated with younger listeners who were hearing qawwali with fresh ears.

That viral momentum soon carried them beyond borders, leading to major performances in the United States and the UK. “It wasn’t just one track,” the group explained. “We revived older gems like Kali Kali Zulfon and Dil Pukare Aaja in our own style, and those went viral again, showing that qawwali still speaks across generations.”
