Sooryavanshi: Katrina Kaif gives clarification on Rohit Shetty’s comment about her

A couple of days ago, #ShameOnYouRohitShetty was trending on social media. Well, it was because of his comment about his Sooryavanshi female lead Katrina Kaif.

In an interview, Rohit had stated, "The scene with the blast has Katrina (Kaif) too. If you look closely, she is blinking (during it). After the fourth take, she came to me and asked: 'Can we take one more?' And I said, 'Katrina, I will tell you honestly, no one is going to look at you.' She got so wild. She said, 'how could you tell me this?' and I said: 'Three guys are walking with blasts happening behind, nobody will notice you. And I kept that shot. In the promo, she blinks while walking. But kaun dekhega?"


This statement of Rohit didn’t go down well with Katrina Kaif’s fans and they started trending #ShameOnYouRohitShetty. However, Katrina recently took to Instagram to give a clarification on it and she defended Rohit.

The actress shared a note on her Insta story which read, “Dear Friends and Well-wishers... I normally do not comment on media reports or articles... But in this case, I feel a comment made by Rohit Sir, has been taken out of context and is been entirely misunderstood... I am referring to the comment as reported that Rohit Shetty said "No one would look at me in the frame, as there are three boys there and a blast happening", this is not what was said. I mentioned that I had blinked in the shot, and Rohit Sir said, there are four people together in the frame and a bomb blast happening, no one will notice you BLINKING. Even inspite of that, we still did one more take. I share a very warm equation and friendship with Rohit Sir and have always enjoyed our discussions on everything from Cinema to my character and more importantly, he has always been there as a friend for me. This has been taken entirely taken out of context... Hope you all have a great day."

Well, let’s hope that Katrina’s post clears the doubts of her fans.

Sooryavanshi, which is slated to release on 24th March 2020, also stars Akshay Kumar in the lead role.

Birmingham's Asha's remembers Asha Bhosle who called every diner her guest

Highlights

  • Bhosle opened Asha's Birmingham in 2006 as her first UK restaurant.
  • Manager recalls her personal involvement in maintaining every dish and standard.
  • Co-owner Paul Bassi CBE vows to keep her legacy and music alive.
Staff at Asha's Indian Restaurant in Birmingham are mourning the loss of their founder Asha Bhosle, the legendary playback singer who died aged 92 in Mumbai following a heart attack.
For those who worked alongside her, the grief runs deeper than losing a cultural icon , they have lost someone who treated the restaurant as her own home and its team as family.
Manager Noumann Farooqi told BBC that Bhosle was "more than an icon to us, she was like a family member." He recalled how she stayed deeply involved in the restaurant's standards despite her global stature.
"She was a very down to earth person despite her high status, always caring and asking about the team and our families," he added. She was never content to simply lend her name to the brand.
"She just wanted to make sure that whatever she was cooking in her kitchen was done the same way in the restaurant," Farooqi added. She regularly travelled to gather fresh ideas to improve the menu and dining experience.
"She always said, 'All of these restaurants are my home, and all the people dining are my guests'. She wanted us to understand that, he added".
Co-owner Paul Bassi CBE described her passing as "an immense loss," saying she was "not only the voice that inspired generations, she was also our beloved founder."
Bassi's vivid comparison captured just how significant her presence felt. "Her coming to our restaurant was a bit like having Madonna and Beyoncé all wrapped up in one," he said.
Since opening on Newhall Street, the restaurant has welcomed celebrities including Tom Cruise, Pink and Ed Sheeran.
The two-time Grammy nominee was cremated at Mumbai's Shivaji Park with full state honours.
Bassi confirmed the restaurant will stay open, continue playing her music and build on everything she created. "She always told us the show must go on," he said.
