Super fan of the week - Sargun Mehta

Popular actress Sargun Mehta has made a name for herself on television and in Punjabi cinema with impressive performances. The winning turns on TV and the big screen have won her fans around the world, including Zara from California.

Eastern Eye caught up with super fan Zara to find out more.


What first connected you to Sargun Mehta?

Seeing her exceptional portrayal of Jessica in her film Love Punjab was an instant connection. Also, that was my first time seeing her on screen, but the graceful way she portrayed her character meant I was able to connect with her within minutes.

What made you become a super fan? 

It has been the vibe she has. The positivity she spreads and happiness she gives. She is very lively and full of life. Her positive approach to everything in life has inspired me so much.

Tell us about something super you have done for Sargun? 

I remember voting multiple times for her for three different award shows. The number of votes I cast was insane.

What has been your most memorable moment? 

That was when she followed me back on my first fan page for her. As a fan, Sargun winning her first Filmfare Award was very memorable and a precious moment.

What is the thing you most love about her?

Her versatility as a performer knows no bounds. She is a powerful actor and makes you feel every emotion of the character. She’s the most inspiring, whether it be her attitude of never giving up on your dreams or being grateful. She’s extremely loving when it comes to family and is passionate about her work. She has maintained a balance in everything. I love the way she and Ravi (Dubey) love each other. It’s just so special to see that true love actually exists.

Which quality in Sargun do you most relate to? 

It’s her fun-loving nature.

What is your favourite work she has done? 

Every time I step out of the cinema I declare that this is the best film of hers. So there can’t be one answer, but her film Qismat shall be special.

Why do you love being a super fan?

I’m here to express my insane love for her and when she appreciates that, it’s a feeling out of this world. Being a super fan, applauding your idol, standing up for them, letting them know that they are loved and putting in countless efforts just to see them smile are pure happiness in itself.

The first look at Squid Game’s final season is here, and it’s anything but subtle.

The teaser doesn’t just reintroduce the deadly games, it throws viewers back into the chaos with new dangers, high emotions and unsettling surprises.

Seong Gi-hun, the original Player 456, is back but not by choice. Season 2 ended with his failed attempt to take down the games from the outside, and now he’s dragged back inside, waking up inside a coffin surrounded by masked guards. His fight isn't just about survival anymore. It’s personal. He wants to bring it all down.

Charli XCX to star in and produce new horror film by 'Audition' director Takashi Miike

Charli XCX is shifting gears once again, but this time into the twisted world of cult Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike. The British pop star will both star in and produce Miike’s upcoming feature, her second project under her newly launched production company, Studio365.

Known for pushing limits in cinema, Miike has built a reputation over the last three decades for his dark, genre-bending films like Audition (1999) and Ichi the Killer (2001). While the title and plot of this new collaboration haven’t been made public, Miike’s signature style mix of horror and shock suggests audiences should expect something intense. The script is being written by Ross Evans, with Yumiko Aoyagi co-writing. Evans is also behind How to Save a Marriage, which is in development with Robert Pattinson as producer.

World’s richest actor at 77 beats Tom Cruise, Shah Rukh and The Rock despite no film in 6 years

A recent list published by Esquire magazine has revealed that 77-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger is currently the world’s richest actor, with an estimated net worth of $1.49 billion (approximately £1.2 billion). The figure places him ahead of more active Hollywood stars, including Dwayne Johnson, Tom Cruise and Shah Rukh Khan.

Geraldine Viswanathan steals the spotlight in Marvel’s 'Thunderbolts' after Ayo Edebiri's exit

Geraldine Viswanathan’s path to Thunderbolts didn’t start with a blockbuster audition or a lifelong dream to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It began with oddball comedy gigs, local theatre, and stand-up sets at uni bars. From small parts in quirky Australian productions to sharing the screen with John Cena in Blockers, Viswanathan quietly built her Hollywood résumé until Marvel called.

When the offer for Thunderbolts came, she wasn’t gunning for the spotlight. In fact, she got the call while sick in bed. Director Jake Schreier pitched her the role of Mel, a sharp, loyal assistant to Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s scheming Valentina Fontaine. It was a role vacated by Ayo Edebiri, and Viswanathan stepped in with zero superhero baggage.
