Jacqueline addresses trolling
'I am attacked for the way I
sound, criticism of my looks'
Actor Arjun Kapoor decided to quiz his Bhoot
Police co-star Jacqueline Fernandez on his
new chat show, 'Bak Bak With Baba'. The
two discussed her eating habits, her old
crushes, the trolling she receives and
how she manages to keep her head
straight. While parts of the segment
were filled with laughter, there
were some serious points when
Jacqueline mentioned how she
would starve herself in her
younger days.
Asked about her first
crush, she said,
"There was
somebody in school
but I can't name him.
I also had a huge
crush on Leonardo
DiCaprio after
watching Romeo
and Juliet and
Titanic, and
Ricardo from
Backstreet Boys."
Arjun asked her
about the
importance of food in
her life, but she said
that it wasn't so high up
on her priority list. Arjun
jokingly said, "Please
leave my van," and
Jacqueline said, "We can't be
friends, sorry!" She then
answered the question, "I
definitely love to celebrate
with food. For instance,
today was our wrap. I got
food for everybody. We cut a
cake with my team. I feel it's
nice that celebrate with food.
There was a phase in my 20's
when I did turn to food and
that was late at night. I lived
alone so it was like cake, ice
cream, anything crispy. I actually
did have a terrible relationship
with food and then I went like
starving for a week, which is
like really bad for you. So,
now it's about knowing that
I don't need to turn to it,
tomorrow is another day
and we will get through it."
Jacqueline Fernandez
revealed that she has
never been on a blind
date. When Arjun
asked whether she
had been on a date,
she laughed and said
no, as well. When
asked about the best
pick-up line that has
been used on her she
said, "It's a little weird
but maybe I'm a bit
unapproachable as well.
There are very few times I
am approached with bad pick-up
lines."
As celebrities can't avoid trolling,
she spoke about the 'meanest
things' she has read about
herself online "There are a
lot of mean things," to
which Arjun responded,
"Welcome to the king."
Jacqueline continued, "It's
ok, we all get it. I read things
about myself how terrible I
sound, how terrible my accent
is and how I speak Hindi, bad
criticism on how I look."
On how she deals with it, she
said, "I kind of take it like
positively. I am like ok what do
they mean. Then, I feel may be there
is some room for improvement.
There is some criticism where you feel
this person is being nasty. Some actually
makes sense to me."

For the first time ever, three
Bangladeshi films - Abdullah
Mohammad Saad's"Rehana
Maryam Noor". Mostofa Sarwar
Farooki's "No Land's Man", and
Mohammad Rabby Mridha's
"Paayer Tolay Mati Nai", have
been selected to be showcased at
the prestigious Busan
International Film Festival
(BIFF) 2021, reports UNB.
The selection of the film
"Paayer Tolay Mati Nai" (No
Ground Beneath The Feet) was
confirmed on Wednesday,
which will be screened on
October 7, 8, and 13 in the "A
Window on Asian Cinema"
section of the festival.
Scheduled to be run from
October 8 to 15, this year's
festival has enlisted these films
as part of its "A Window on
Asian Cinema" section, where
Farooki's upcoming movie "No
Land's Man", has been
nominated for the Kim Jiseok
Award.
"What stands out is the
selection of 3 films from
Bangladeshi cinema, which has
been considered until now to be
on the cinematic periphery," the
BIFF website highlighted
Bangladesh's history-making
participation at this year's
festival.
Produced by acclaimed
director-producer Abu Shahed
Emon, "Paayer Tolay Mati Nai"
is presented by Box Office and
Golpo Rajjo films, and the film
is co-produced by Impress

A special drama titled 'Behula
Parampara' has been made to
mark the upcoming Durga Puja
festival. Two popular small
There was a lot expected from
'Fast & Furious 9' but the film has
stayed to be just about ordinary
after its first week (lasting 8 days
due to Thursday release) at the
Indian box office. The film netted
just around 4 crores* more
during the weekdays and as a
result of its total so far stands at
12.50 crores*.
Now ideally, a film of this scale
and magnitude should have
collected this number on the
very first day in the prepandemic
times. However, the
current situation is different in
India due to theatres not
running at optimal capacity.
Moreover, one fact that cannot
be ignored is that 'Fast & Furious
9' is one of the weakest in the
franchise. The last two
3 Bangladeshi films
selected for Busan
Int’l Film Festival
Telefilm Limited and Batayan
Productions.
Mir Mokarram Hossain is the
executive producer of the film,
alongside its co-producers
Faridur Reza Sagar, Managing
Director of Impress Telefilm,
and Tahrima Khan, Batayan
Productions.
Starring Mostafa Monwar,
Priyam Archi, and Dipannita
Martin are in the lead roles
among others, "Paayer Tolay
Mati Nai" narrates the story of
an ordinary man named Saiful,
who has embraced his miseries
screen actors- Farhana Mili and
FS Nayeem will be seen playing
lead roles in the drama.
Shadhin Shah has written the
story of the drama while Borno
Nath has directed it. The
instalments had done very good
business in India, though cracks
were seen in 'Fast & Furious 8'.
Now even though the action is
bigger than ever before in 'F9',
the overall story is weak with
nothing much besides the
gravity-defying stunts.
Coming to the business aspect
of the film, 'Fast & Furious 9' will
reach the 20 crores milestone
but that's about. That would be a
very sub-optimal performance
for the film which was expected
to revive the theatrical business
in India. Disappointingly, that
hasn't quite happened and hence
the wait continues for a true
biggie to arrive and make a
smashing impact at the box
office.

can do anything if she
wants. The story of 'Behula
Parampara' is about
women's awareness. Earlier,
I've worked with Mili and
Nayeem. In this drama, both
of Mili and Nayeem have
acted wonderfully. I hope
the audience will like our

Vin starrer 'F9' failed to create a rage at box office
H O R O s c O P E
ARIEs
(March 21 - April 20) : You'll be
happiest away from prying eyes
today, Aries. You're not in the mood
to be friendly or participate in idle
gossip. It seems you've been having the same
conversations with the same people for some time
now. You're feeling so bored you could scream. To
avoid doing just that, spend quiet time alone
today if you can.
TAURUs
(April 21 - May 21) : Just when you
thought things were settled, life takes
another turn. Today brings yet another
of those turns, so hold on, Taurus. You
may receive some information that has a dramatic
impact on your life. Perhaps you'll receive an
opportunity to move to another state or country.
Perhaps you'll decide to get married. One thing is
clear - your future looks promising!
GEMINI
(May 22 - June 21) : You should feel
optimistic today, Gemini, with
confidence in your ability to
accomplish anything you set your
mind to. If you're working toward a specific
goal (and you should be), something is likely
to happen today that propels you that much
closer to realizing your goal. What's the next
step?
cANcER
(June 22 - July 23) : You can expect
some big changes, Cancer. All the
hard work you've been doing to
develop your confidence is
showing, and this is attracting opportunities
like bees to honey. On top of this, your passion
is high right now, so set aside private time with
your mate. Plan a romantic evening, open a
bottle of wine, and celebrate!
LEO
(July 24 - Aug. 23): Don't overreact
today, Leo. Your biorhythms are low.
In fact, you may be feeling a bit under
the weather. There's no point in
trying to keep up a cheerful front. People will see
through your facade. You would be better served
by spending time on solo activities. That way you
can spend long stretches of time in bed, where
you're meant to be today.
VIRGO
(Aug. 24 - Sept. 23): A long-term
project reaches a positive
conclusion, one that may have a
dramatic impact on your finances.
You've sold your manuscript to a publisher or
successfully concluded a project that's dear to
your heart. This success should give you the
confidence you need, Virgo. Don't forget to take
time to celebrate!
LIBRA
(Sept. 24 - Oct. 23): Change is good, but
it can be scary when it comes
suddenly. That's what you feel today
when someone announces a major
change without warning. You're not sure how to
react to the news and haven't a clue how it affects
you. All you can do now is wait. Try not to panic. In
the end, you'll see that these changes will benefit
everyone, including you!
scORPIO
(Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) : You're eager for
information on a particular subject
and will go to great lengths to get it,
Scorpio. Before heading off to the
library, why not try an online search? You
might find everything you need without leaving
your chair. But your search might necessitate
going to the primary source, so travel will be
involved.
sAGITTARIUs
(Nov. 23 - Dec. 21): You may receive
a windfall from an unexpected
source, Sagittarius. Perhaps an
uncle died and remembered you in
his will or an old legal settlement has finally
come through. Whatever the source, the extra
income is welcome now. Your vivid dreams of
late may not seem related to this financial
upswing, but they're connected.
cAPRIcORN
(Dec. 22 - Jan. 20): You receive some
new insight about an important
person in your life, Capricorn, and
your relationship takes a dramatic
turn for the better. You feel you now know
this person completely, and your closeness
borders on the profound. This new alliance
could also have positive repercussions on
your finances.
AQUARIUs
(Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) : When the thought
of going to work makes it hard to get
out of bed, know that the time has
come to get another job, Aquarius.
Alas, that's probably not something you can do
now. You can be extra kind to yourself. Give
yourself a present. Find something you
thoroughly enjoy that would perk up your spirits
and cost little.
PIscEs
(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) : Romance is in
the air and you must be breathing a
lot of it today, Pisces. Your blood is
boiling, your passion surging, and a
romantic dinner for two is in the cards. You'll
be inclined to shop for clothes, but curb your
appetite for material goods. What you really
want doesn't come in a box, so why waste your
money?
