Shahid Kapoor’s half sister Sanah bags a romcom

Bollywood heartthrob Shahid Kapoor’s half-sister Sanah Kapoor, who was launched by Vikas Bahl in the 2016 film Shaandaar, will be next seen in director Abhishek Saxena’s new film, titled Saroj Ka Rishta.

The film talks about the grave issue of body-shaming in India. In addition to that, it will also be a story about a daughter’s relationship with her father. Sanah will play the title role of Saroj in the movie.


“As a fat person, I have noticed that body-shaming doesn’t happen only with those who are on the heavier side, but also with thin people. The idea germinated from there. The film essentially revolves around a father-daughter relationship with Kumud Mishra and Sanah at the centre. There is also a love triangle with the two heroes Gaurav Pandey and Randeep Rai,” the film’s director said.

Sana said that her character in the movie offers great scope for exploration. “I am looking forward to mould (ing)  myself into someone who is from a completely different culture. It’s mysterious and offers great scope for exploration,” she explains.

Saroj Ka Rishta begins production in August. The film will be shot in Ghaziabad, Mawana and 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.
