"I found Bimal Roy at his desk, writing something, when I entered his cabin. As he stopped writing and looked up, he appeared to be taken aback. He fixed me with a steady gaze and kept staring at me in silence… After a while, he turned to the people seated at the rear end of the cabin and said to them in Bengali: ‘Is this the man you had in mind? What sort of a joke are you playing on me?’
"Apparently, he wasn’t aware that I knew Bengali. Without even offering me a seat, he said to me, ‘Mr. Sahni, my men have made a mistake. I can see that you are totally unsuited to play the sort of role I wish to present in my film’," Balraj Sahni wrote in his autobiography ‘Meri Filmi Atamkatha’.

TV and film actor Aasif Sheikh, who rose to fame as Vibhuti Narayan Mishra in ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’, said that he enjoys transforming into female characters on screen and even the audience loves to watch this transformation. He also shared the challenges of playing a character half his age in the show.

Honestly, for me, age is just a number. I don’t want to tell people my back is aching or I’m not feeling up to it at the shoot. I want to be fit enough to take on any challenge at any given time, like a 30-year-old.”
On the challenges of playing a character who is not of his age is physical fitness and he focuses on that.

Award-winning Indian journalist Ravish Kumar has stepped down from his role at broadcaster Ndtv, which is in the process of a hostile takeover by Indian billionaire Guatam Adani.
His resignation came one day after Ndtv co-founders Prannoy and Radhika Roy resigned as directors of Rrpr Holding, one of the backers of Ndtv. On November 22, the Adani Group started the process of acquiring an additional 26 stake in the broadcaster, which following the acquisition of a 29.18 stake announced in August, gives it a controlling 55 share.
Ndtv put out a statement in August saying that Adani’s move to acquire the shareholdings had been undertaken without first consulting the co-founders, who hold a 32.26 stake.
Founded by Prannoy and Radhika Roy in 1984, Ndtv is regarded as one of the last media platforms in India prepared to criticize the Indian government and ruling Bjp party’s policies. Adani is a close ally of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
