Shahid Kapoor on working with Ishaan Khatter

Shahid Kapoor’s brother Ishaan Khatter is all set to make his Bollywood debut in Shashank Khaitan’s directorial Dhadak opposite Janhvi Kapoor. Shahid has been supporting Ishaan ever since the latter embarked upon his journey in Bollywood.

Speaking about whether he will work with Ishaan in future, Shahid said to a leading Indian daily, "It’s always beautiful to share a movie with family. In such a case, things become even more special. So yes, it would be great and I would be happy to work with any of them. In fact, I haven’t worked much with dad as an actor (Kapoor Sr directed Shahid in Mausam; 2011), and I would really love for more of that to happen. As for Ishaan, he is just starting out, so, let him take off [in his career]. We will discuss those thoughts [of working together] later."


Shahid Kapoor’s performance in Padmaavat received lots of adulation. Talking about his family’s response over his performance in Padmaavat, Shahid revealed, "I remember everybody was very overwhelmed once the film got over. They all were very happy, overwhelmed and proud. They all know how long the journey [of preparing for and playing the character] has been and maybe, that’s why I got a lot of love from them (smiles). It always feels great when the family loves your work."

Shahid Kapoor will be next featured in Batti Gul Meter Chalu which stars Shraddha Kapoor and Yami Gautam. The film is helmed by Shree Narayan Singh. The film is slated to release on August 31, 2018.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
