Had a productive telephone conversation with the King of Bahrain, His Majesty King Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa. India condemns the attacks on Bahrain and stands in solidarity with its people in this difficult hour. I thank him for the steadfast support extended to the Indian community in Bahrain.
Discussed the evolving situation in West Asia with Crown Prince and PM of Saudi Arabia, HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman. India condemns the recent attacks on Saudi Arabia in violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity. We agreed that earliest restoration of regional peace and stability is of utmost importance. I thanked him for looking after the well-being of the Indian community in these difficult times.
Spot on! What was the need for the dig of - "south Indian lady speaking in HIndi?" The minister was right to point out that he hadn't bothered to read the bill or hear the translation.
Rasika Dugal, outspoken as ever, says she would have said no to a movie like Animal because her biggest fear is that one day she will accept a project that will inadvertently promote misogyny. With Mirzapur and Delhi Crime, this has been Rasika’s moment in many ways. It was wonderful to have Rasika with us. She shared that the politics of every project she chooses is of utmost importance to her, not just as an afterthought, but as the very foundation of her decisions. Here's an actor who is deeply mindful of the ideas, values, and narratives she puts into her work, in an industry where choices are often driven by commercial viability, convenience, glamour, or pressure. More power to you and your tribe, @RasikaDugal . Cheering for you all always. @WeTheWomenAsia

“We had no other way to get closure.”
Special Forces hero Major Mohit Sharma’s brother joined me last night to talk about his family’s legal case against film Dhurandhar.
Actress #DeepikaPadukone finally opens up about her exit from #Spirit and #Kalki2898AD:
She said her priorities have changed and that fame or money no longer drive her choices. She’s now focused on meaningful stories and healthier working conditions.
She added that her exit from these films reflects her stand for fair treatment, reasonable work hours and overall wellbeing, noting that creative integrity matters more to her than big-scale productions.
