Last year in September it was announced that Yami Gautam will be seen in a film titled A Thursday which will be produced by Ronnie Screwvala and directed by Behzad Khambata. Today, the film went on the floors and Yami took to Instagram to inform everyone about it.


She posted, “Breaking News: A series of unforgettable events are about to come your way, all that happened on #AThursday @nehadhupia #DimpleKapadia @atulkulkarni_official @mayasarao @behzu #RonnieScrewvala @premnathrajagopalan @rsvpmovies @bluemonkey_film @alobo2112 @pashanjal @hasanainhooda.”

Apart from Yami Gautam, the movie also stars Dimple Kapadia, Neha Dhupia, Atul Kulkarni and Maya Sarao. The movie is said to be a psychological thriller, and Yami will be seen portraying the character of a playschool teacher who on a Thursday takes 16 children hostage.

A Thursday will be getting a direct-to-digital release.

Talking about other films of Yami, the actress has movies like Dasvi and Bhoot Police in her kitty. The shooting of the former kickstarted a few days ago, and Yami plays the role of an IPS officer in it.

Sharing a picture from the sets of Dasvi, Yami had posted, “My first day on the set of #Dasvi playing #JyotiDeswal. Proud & honoured to play an IPS officer. #JaiHind ?? @bachchan @nimratofficial #DineshVijan @sandeep_leyzell @shobhnayadav @tusharjalota @writish1 @kumarvishwas @soulfulsachin @jigarsaraiya @amitabhbhattacharyaofficial @maddockfilms @bakemycakefilms @officialjiostudios @officialjiocinema.”

Bad Daughter by Sangeeta Pillai is a defiant rejection of the ‘good Indian girl’ myth

Bad Daughter by Sangeeta Pillai is not just a memoir; it's a declaration of war against cultural conformity and a powerful roadmap for reclaiming one's authentic self. The title, a label often hurled at Pillai for daring to defy the rigid expectations placed on "good Indian girls" (Bad Betis), is proudly worn as a badge of honour. This raw and unflinching feminist memoir charts the author's incredible journey from a harrowing, poverty-stricken childhood in a Mumbai slum to becoming a celebrated global voice for South Asian women's issues in London.

Pillai grew up amidst the stark realities of domestic violence -a violent, alcoholic father and her mother who was later brutally murdered yet she refused to let these traumas extinguish the "fire in her belly." Her early life became an active battle against patriarchy, a fierce determination to reject the script laid out for her: arranged marriage, silence, and submission. She fought for her education, forged a path to financial independence, and eventually emigrated, carving out a new, successful life for herself, founding the award-winning Masala Podcast and the feminist platform Soul Sutras.
