Just recently, in a brief conversation with ETimes, the actress mentioned that she is keen about playing Madhubala’s role in her biopic. Speaking about her favourite actresses, she revealed, “There are certain personalities in our film industry who have been iconic and whose lives I feel people don’t really know much about. But people should know about them. And apart from Madhubalaji, I would love to play Meena Kumariji in her biopic.

Breakthrough COVID-19 infections found in 25 per cent healthcare staff in Delhi: Study

Image
A little more than 25 per cent of healthcare workers were infected with coronavirus despite getting fully jabbed, a recent study has revealed, giving an insight on the breakthrough infections due to the Delta variant. The study, jointly conducted by the Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB) and Max hospitals in Delhi-NCR, found that vaccination breakthroughs were far more common during the Delta-outbreak in Delhi than previously reported. However, the severity of the infection was low and vaccination is crucial to avoid severe illnesses, said Shantanu Sengupta, senior scientist with the IGIB and one of the lead researchers of the study. He also cautioned that of the 25 per cent who were infected, a large number were asymptomatic, so masking is also very important to arrest the spread of infection. Sengupta said nearly 95 healthcare workers who had taken the two doses were studied. They were assessed from 45-90 days after their inoculation. Of the 95, more than 25 pe

After completing a five-day schedule in St Petersburg in Russia, Salman Khan’s ‘Tiger 3’ shoot has now moved to Turkey. The actor will be shooting in Istanbul for the film. From his social media posts, it seems like his good friend Iulia Vantur, who has been in Romania for some time, has also landed there. Iulia, who began her Bollywood singing career with Salman Khan’s ‘Radhe’, too, shared a video from her hotel room in the Turkish city. Have a look: Salman Khan and Katrina had shot for ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ in about four locations in Turkey. The introductory scene was shot at the Maiden’s Tower of Instanbul and Mardan Palace in Antalya which is Europe’s most expensive luxury hotel. Salman’s look from ‘Tiger 3’ and some shots leaked due to the public presence around the shooting in St Petersburg makes one wonder if they will be able to control the crowds in Turkey, where Tiger shot for the first instalment of the action film.

But since his turn as the scapegoat in ‘Hungama’, followed by the role of an astrologer in ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’, he has become a household name.

For ETimes’ #BigInterview, the actor looks back at his career so far, reveals why we don’t see him on OTT, and also spills the beans on his favourite co-actor.

“When I am acting, it is my character’s catharsis; when I write, it’s my own,” observed Anupam Kher, when prodded by author, columnist, and Executive Editor of ETimes, Vinita Dawra Nangia on what led him to write his latest book, ‘Your Best Day is Today’, amidst the pandemic. In the chat session titled ‘Tuning into Happiness’, as part of the ongoing Times Litfest, the actor went on to reveal what compelled him into writing, his writing process, and how every one of his three books has been a result of what he was going through at the time. Speaking about the manner in which the third one came about, the actor revealed that he was in the US, shooting for his show ‘New Amsterdam’ when the pandemic struck. Upon his return to Mumbai on March 20, he found himself in a ghost town. Never before had he seen the streets of Mumbai as deserted in his 39 years here.

If previously COVID-19 infected, single Covaxin dose draws same antibody response as two doses

A single dose of Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin in previously COVID-19-infected individuals elicits a similar antibody response as obtained with two doses of the vaccine in those without a previous history of the disease, according to an ICMR study. The study was published in the Indian Journal of Medical Research on Saturday. “If our preliminary findings are confirmed in large population studies, a single dose of BBV152 vaccine may be recommended to previously confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals so that the naive individuals could attain the larger benefit of a limited vaccine supply,” it said. India’s first indigenous COVID-19 vaccine Covaxin, codenamed BBV152, was approved by the government for emergency use in January. Two doses are given with a gap of four to six weeks. The study was undertaken to examine SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody responses after day zero (baseline, before vaccination), day 28 plus/minus two days post-first dose (month 1) and day 56 plus/minus two days post

But the recent video of him with a certain Inaya Sultana wherein he’s dancing like a naughty quadragenarian hurts you, yes, you read it right, hurts you. Varma’s denial, swearing on the US President Joe Biden that it’s neither him in the video nor Inaya, was largely dashed to the ground by Inaya herself, when she posted a picture of the proceedings from her social media handle. For those who’ve come in late, see the video below: Varma or no Varma in the video, several questions start racing in your mind if you’ve followed his filmography. We dissect the filmmaker by asking the right questions: Why does the satya (truth) of RGV (as he is fondly called) scream that this man today is a pale shadow of the craftsman he was? Is he going to take a U-turn? Is that going to be easy when he’s burnt bridges along the route he’s chosen? Has he gotten repet
