Deepika Singh, who rose to fame after starring as the lead in the Star Plus show Diya Aur Baati Hum, has said that one of the reasons acting attracted her was that she saw it as a jackpot. This was because the actor, who grew up in a joint family in Delhi, saw many financial crises while she was growing up. Deepika, who is the eldest of four siblings, said she had a nice childhood but also saw many ups and downs. She also recalled that she and her siblings were once sent back home from school without their bags as their bus fees weren't paid on time. The actor told Pinkvilla, "After school, I'd go to my papa's factory because my school bus didn't go to Paharganj. I was at Airforce school till 8th standard, then I shifted to a government school. And it was I who went to the principal, showed my mark sheets, and report cards, and got admission on my own because my father didn't want me to leave the last school. But I was observing that because of our financial crisis, the fees for the school bus are not being paid. My principal at Airforce school told me that 'agar aapke bas ki nahi hai to itne bade school mein kyun aate ho (Why do you come to such a big school if you can't afford it). That gave me a audience on a vibrant journey of India, capturing the ethos of the nation, its diverse culture and the spirit of its people."

She also recalled, "I saw many downfalls that made me very strong. My father had an embroidery factory but it was facing many losses. When we were little, a shipment had gone from Mumbai to America, but then the plague spread around the same time so they burned it thinking it may have been infected. There were a lot of loans, my father went kind of bankrupt. But he still managed for 2-3 years before he met with an accident and was put on bed rest for a year. "We didn't feel its impact too much when we were at home with our big family but did feel it at school when the fees won't go. I was old enough to see those things. We would get taunts.

When Mahesh Bhatt compared Alia Bhatt to Smita Patil: ‘Why shouldn’t I…' Actor Alia Bhatt recently received the Smita Patil Memorial Award for best actor. While she celebrated the milestone with an announcement on Instagram, let’s rewind to the time when filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt reasoned why his daughter Alia is similar to the iconic Smita Patil. During an interview, he cited the example of Alia who had been working for only four years back then. The filmmaker said that Alia, like many other actors, has the potential to follow the path of Smita Patil who excelled in both commercial and experimental movies from a young age. Mahesh said, “There is a new dawn and new energy. There is a new beginning, I must say. I see a lot more actors, including a few regional and parallel cinema actresses and also my daughter Alia Bhatt walking the way this great actor Smita did way back in time. She could act both in commercial and parallel films and not become clichéd.” “Why shouldn't I mention my daughter Alia? She has done Highway and also some lighter roles at a very young age. She can do both commercial and experimental films as she has grown up seeing Smita Patil and Shabana Azmi's movies by my production house," he added.

Read online www.iwk.co.nz Friday, 23 September, 2022 FEATURES 17 Technology Apple confirms serious new problems for iPhone 14 buyers Apple's new iOS 16 operating system is about to get its first significant set of bug fixes, including those that will address users' complaints over shaky cameras when using some apps, and a frustrating copy and paste bug that asks users far too often if an app has permission to access their clipboard, among other things. Apple's aim with the paste permissions feature was to protect users' privacy, as the prompt highlights when apps are reading the clipboard where sensitive data could be stored -- even when users may not be aware that's happening. TikTok, for instance, was found guilty of snooping on clipboard data, as were dozens of other iOS apps. But the prompt is not supposed to appear repeatedly, as it's doing in iOS 16, which is distracting and annoying. Breaking down the problems, Apple states that “After setting up your iPhone, you might experience one or more of the following issues”: • You can't receive iMessages or FaceTime calls. • You see a green message bubble instead of a blue one when you send a message to another Apple device. • Conversations in Messages show up as two separate threads, instead of one. Apple recommends that users update to iOS 16.0.1 “to resolve this”, but a) these bugs are not listed in the iOS 16.0.1 release notes, and b) Apple suggests backup steps if you’re “still having issues” after updating. These are: • In the Settings app, tap ‘Cellular’. Make sure that your phone line is turned on. If you use multiple SIMs, make sure that the phone number you want to use is selected and turned on. • In the Settings app, tap ‘Messages’. Then tap ‘Send & Receive’. • Tap the phone number that you want to use with Messages. • Go back in the Settings app, and tap ‘FaceTime’. • Tap the phone number that you want to use with FaceTime. The news of the iOS 16 update to address this issue and others was first reported by The Wall St. Journal. MacRumors additionally confirmed, via a reader email exchange with an Apple exec, that the annoying paste pop-ups was not intended behavior and would soon be fixed. The exec suggested the issue was not one that was caught internally, but admitted other users had experienced the same problem. Apple also confirmed to TechCrunch it was aware of the issues and noted a fix would be out next week. While the developer and public beta builds for iOS 16 had been relatively stable this time around, a full public Apple confirms iPhone 14 Pro camera prone to shake, rattle in apps like TikTok and Instagram; fix for issue on the way release of a new operating system often uncovers new issues that weren't discovered during testing phases -- in some cases because those issues don't impact all users. That seems to be the case with the camera shaking issue, for example, which had been reported by some early adopters on social media. They found select photo-sharing apps like TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram would record shaky videos when the rear-facing camera was used from inside the social media app, and their new iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max would make loud noises. This problem didn't occur when using Apple's first-party camera app, however, indicating the issue is rooted in software. This is not a universal bug, as it turns out, but Apple hasn't explained why some users encountered this problem and others did not. Here at TechCrunch, for instance, no one could replicate the issue when testing Apple's new devices, including the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, running iOS 16. Some other iPhone 14 Pro users also said their phones became unresponsive when restoring from iCloud and transferring data from older iPhones, the Journal reported. This will be addressed in the upcoming update, as well, it noted. Apple has not indicated which day next week users can expect the update, but if you're impacted by any of these issues, you may want to visit the iPhone Settings to check for the update directly.
