Fatima Sana Shaikh reveals her love for mangoes: I can have three of them in one go
Fatima Sana Shaikh is known for her versatility as an actress, effortlessly transitioning between roles with conviction. Her ability to immerse herself in diverse characters along with her strong screen presence has earned her a dedicated fan base. As the summer is at its peak now, people love to savour mangoes which can be delivered to them in any form. Recently, Fatima Sana Shaikh expressed her love towards the king of fruits this summer season. The actress cannot get over her love for mangoes. Talking about her favourite fruit she said in an interview with Times of India, I can have three of them in one go. I think it is the tastiest fruit in the world. There are so many different variants. I love Alphonso (Haapus), Totapuri and Pairi. I am sure each one of us has a memory attached to this fruit phir woh chahe ped par chadke aam todkar khana ho or fighting for that last mango in the house, which would happen often between my brother and me (laughs). Today, we get mangoes in cardboard boxes, but earlier, they would be brought home in a wooden peti with hay in it. I would be excited to sift through the hay to find the perfect mango. Going into flashback mode, Fatima said, I think theres that one mango tree in many localities. I remember, as kids, we would come together and try to pluck the raw mangoes with a stick (laughs) and often fail. Eventually, some helpful uncle would step in and help us, and we would all run to collect the kairis. Thats one of my fondest childhood memories. Bass us kairi ko kaato, sprinkle some salt and chilli powder and have it. Its simple yet flavourful. I would have it as a kid, and I do so even now when I visit Juhu Beach. I also love kairi ka aachar and a dish called kairi pulao. Fatima Sana Shaikh will be next seen in Ul Jalool Ishq and Metro In Dino.

I said, Yes', and he completely turned it around and it was something that nobody had thought. Shekhar further added, He, (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) out of the blue, he probably thought that this is a done to death kind of thing. Let me do it this way. So it's about this Nawab, who is pissed drunk, is peeing out of a carriage pulled by Mallikajaan. And he is trying to, in his state of inebriation, trying to make it out with her. Suman elaborated, He (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) said, No, turn the other way around. And then he (Nawab Zulfikar) takes a fellatio, sort of an oral s*x mid-air, thinking that Mallikajaan is sitting on that side. And he (Nawab Zulfikar) is convinced because he is nawab and he has turned. So Mallikajaan says, What are you doing? I'm here.' He says, No. I know what I'm doing, and I know you are here.' So, that was a very strange interpretation and that has not been done by any actor or director ever before that somebody is having s*x mid-air. But done nicely. Shekhar continued, I did that. As I said, I did that very instinctively and he came running and said, Magnificent, magnificent.' So that was it. It was a pack-up after that and all the technicians came running and said, Thank you. Otherwise, this scene would have gone on and on because of the way he is. He is a stickler. If any other actor had not caught the sur, then it would be another 6 hours, 7-8 hours. But it just happens so right because I know that the person who is standing in front of me, what he has explained to me, and what I have assimilated the outcome is going to be just right. Shekhar Suman has also shared a video of this scene on Instagram.

Dua Lipa is all about Radical Optimism, in her music and other pursuits
NEW YORK: Dua Lipa is floating in the ocean, the sun just beginning to set behind her. She looks strong, serene save for the looming threat of a massive shark, fin just breaching the surface a few feet away. The image is the cover of her third album, Radical Optimism, out Friday. It is an apt visual representation for an album about finding and protecting your peace in dangerous waters a thematic maturation for the Grammy-award winning pop superstar, who has long identified her sound as dance-crying. That cheeky term encapsulates the clubby jubilance of her biggest pop hits, but Radical Optimism, with its psychedelic electro-pop, complicates it. Theres definitely something more cathartic that comes with the third album, she told The Associated Press recently. Future Nostalgia was my chance for me to be able to do a very polished pop-dance-disco record, she says of her 2020 sophomore release. Radical Optimism, alternatively, was informed by what shes learned from touring the world over the last few years drawing influence from trip hop and Britpop and including newfound interest in live instrumentation. It was so much more free flowing, she says of her latest albums creative process. And it didnt have a formula, per se, but I always had that pop sensibility in the back of my mind. But I wanted to just experiment and try and create something new. But I think this was always kind of the album that Ive always wanted to make. In more ways than one: Around her first album, Lipa wrote down that shed like to work with Tame Impalas Kevin Parker specifically on her third album. The manifestation worked, and he became a crucial collaborator on Radical Optimism. It was almost like something deep down, instinctively, was telling me that it was something earned, she says. That over time I would be able to go in and work with a creative that I was so inspired by, and to be in a room and learn from him. As for the albums title: Its euphoric, its togetherness, she says. Dance music has such a long history of creating such a safe space. And I just want to embody that, she adds. Shes been working hard to get there. Lipa, now 28, began her career at age 15, when she convinced her family to let her move from Kosovo to London, where she was born, to pursue a pop career. She went to school, modeled, and in 2017 released her eponymous debut album with the blockbuster dance-pop hits New Rules and One Kiss. Then came the nu-disco electropop of 2020s Future Nostalgia, which solidified her status as one of pop musics biggest players. Not bad for a unique voice in the streaming era, where capturing the attention of the masses and sustaining it has never been more of a challenge. In 2024, her pop songs contain a kind of learned elasticity. The melodies stack atop unusual synth sounds, the vocal range stretches (particularly on the cut Falling Forever), the dance breaks inspired by U.K. rave culture and format-benders Primal Scream and Massive Attack theyre all elements Lipa says she wouldnt have dared attempt on her last album. That came from working with Parker, producer Danny L Harle, songwriter Tobias Jesso Jr. (known for his work with Harry Styles and Adele ), and Lipas longtime collaborator Caroline Ailin. She understands how to handle a lot of opinions in the room, including her own, Jesso tells the AP. She doesnt value hers above anyone elses, she simply uses the ones which work best for what she is trying to achieve. We were a band, Lipa says of the group. The first day they wrote Illusion. The second day, Happy for You. (Id never written a song like that before, she points out. And I loved that version of myself.) The third day, the post-disco pop of Whatcha Doing. In bright, airy studios in London and Malibu, they finessed what would become Lipas most ambitious and euphoric-sounding record to date. That experimentation appears across Lipas endeavors, too. Shes acting more little baby roles! she says with a smile after playing Mermaid Barbie in the blockbuster Barbie (she also contributed the ubiquitous, Grammy-nominated song Dance the Night to the soundtrack ) and LaGrange, a sultry spy in Argylle (a brief performance AP film critic Jake Coyle described as the movies best few minutes ). In 2022, she founded a newsletter called Service95, what she views as an extension of a childhood blog, to tell stories from all around the world, not solely from a Western lens, she says. It has grown into a website, podcast and book club: Its just another hobby of mine that Ive somehow managed to turn into a job, which is just great, she says, smiling. My day job, which is my music career, which I love, comes with constantly being online. And I think for me, at least now Im searching for other things, and not doomscrolling on Twitter, she says of her media enterprise. At least this way Im like learning something new about the world. I love having that kind of duality in my life. Its a duality fueled by curiosity, like when Lipa made headlines late last year for challenging Apple CEO Tim Cook in an interview on her podcast over reports of children in the Democratic Republic of Congo mining cobalt for iPhones. That was scary, and really exciting, she says. You never really know what to expect when you go in to interview someone. A few days after visiting the APs New York headquarters, Lipa appears at a public high school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan to speak to students in a conversation moderated by Drew Barrymore. One of the things I admire about her is how incredibly intelligent she is, Barrymore says in her introduction, commending Lipa for not only being an icon, but someone who is globally aware. In conversation, Lipa is generous and warm, particularly to a freshman drama student named Dolce, who is also Albanian, and expresses a desire to make it in the entertainment industry. Lipa tells her that identity, intentionally or not, is woven into her music. At the end of the event, Lipa says she feels optimistic about life overall, everything that comes with it, and takes a moment to look out at the audience. Im the most optimistic about the next generation. And then, almost as swiftly as she arrived, Lipa leaves. A lingering positivity permeates the air. It recalls something she told the AP earlier in the week: that she strives to be violently happy in life and in her endeavors. You sometimes have to push yourself into that feeling, she says. Remaining grateful is definitely a muscle that needs to be exercised. On Radical Optimism, shes written the workout soundtrack.
