Super fan of the week - Arijit Singh

SUPER singer Arijit Singh being the undisputed king of Bollywood music is perfectly illustrated by his hit songs, sell-out arena tours and incredible global fan base. One of the countless admirers is super fan Somasree Das from Contai in West Bengal.

Eastern Eye caught up with Somasree to find out more.


What first connected you to Arijit Singh?

I watched his performances in Fame Gurukul, but became the fan girl when I heard the Bojhena Se Bojhena title track.

I have travelled from Kolkata to Ahmedabad just to attend his concert. Keeping the craziness aside, along with our fan base, AS Family, I celebrate his birthday every year in a unique way to spread happiness and humanity in the world. We have also contributed to the welfare of flood affected victims and (charity) CRPF families from our fandom.

What has been one of your most memorable moment?

It has to be December 23, 2017, when I first saw my idol up close during a sound check for a Kolkata concert and attending the show was like a heavenly trip for me.

He is a great musician, but a greater human being. He works with his NGO for so many noble causes. His simplicity and dedication increases my love and respect for him.

Chris Brown arrested in Manchester over alleged nightclub bottle attack on music producer

R&B star Chris Brown was taken into custody early Thursday morning in Manchester, England, over an alleged assault at a London nightclub in 2023. Police arrested the 36-year-old singer at The Lowry Hotel shortly after 2 a.m., charging him with causing grievous bodily harm to music producer Abe Diaw.

The incident dates back to 19 February 2023, when Brown reportedly attacked Diaw at Tape nightclub in Mayfair, central London. According to Diaw’s lawsuit filed last October, Brown struck him multiple times on the head with a bottle of Don Julio 1942 tequila. The assault allegedly continued with Brown stomping and kicking Diaw, leaving him unconscious for about 30 seconds and requiring hospitalisation for head wounds and torn ligaments in his leg.

Aamir Khan and Jr NTR ready to clash on screen? Two biopics on Dadasaheb Phalke in the making

The man who started it all, Dadasaheb Phalke, the pioneer of Indian cinema, is set to be immortalised on screen not once, but twice. In a surprising turn, two major biopics on the "Father of Indian Cinema" are in the works, with Bollywood and Tollywood’s biggest stars stepping into his shoes.

First, reports emerged that Jr NTR will portray Phalke in Made in India, a project backed by RRR director SS Rajamouli. The film, announced last year, will be a pan-India release diving into the birth of Indian cinema. Sources say NTR was instantly drawn to the script, fascinated by lesser-known aspects of Phalke’s journey. The actor, always known for his high-action roles, will take on a more subdued, dramatic part this time.

Scarlett Johansson slams Oscars for snubbing 'Avengers: Endgame' for Best Picture and calls out lengthy award shows

Scarlett Johansson has once again voiced her frustration over the Oscars overlooking Avengers: Endgame for the Best Picture category. The actress, known for portraying Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, expressed her disbelief during an interview. She questioned how a film as groundbreaking and successful as Endgame managed to receive only one nomination, for visual effects, at the 2020 Academy Awards.

“It was an impossible movie that shouldn’t have worked, yet it did, both as a film and as a cultural moment,” Johansson remarked. She pointed out that the film not only pushed creative boundaries but also became one of the highest-grossing movies of all time. Despite its global impact and critical acclaim, Endgame remained absent from major Oscar categories, including Best Picture.
