Dia Mirza, who actively participates for social and environmental issues, on Saturday, opened up on the destruction of biodiversity in the urban spaces and trimming of trees for monsoon, urging the officials to ensure implementation of better practices.
Taking to Instagram, Dia, who was last seen in ‘Made in Heaven’, shared a beautiful picture of herself sitting under a tree. She is seen wearing a blue suit paired with a white shawl. She also shared a series of pictures, featuring exotic birds and wildlife species.
The long post started with a shayari of Kaifi Azmi:
“Each year, the months of April and May are particularly heartbreaking when one witnesses the destruction of biodiversity in our urban spaces. Trees are being ‘trimmed’ in preparation for the monsoon…The ‘trimming’ is unscientific, and horrific, because the entire canopy/shade is axed away by unfeeling, unthinking individuals. The country is reeling in an acute heatwave.

When Fatima Sana Shaikh Signed Thugs Of Hindostan For Almost Free (Picture Credit: Facebook & IMDb)
Fatima Sana Shaikh is one of the few actresses who was launched with a bang but then was buried under the extraordinary expectations built after their performance in their debut films. While she made a brilliant debut with Aamir Khan’s Dangal in 2016 she had to struggle hard for her second film.
When Aamir Khan moved to Thugs of Hindostan from Dangal, rumors were rife that he tried hard to pitch his on-screen daughter Fatima in the film. However, at that time, Deepika Padukone was a part of the film.
Dp initially joined the film opposite Hrithik Roshan, who was the original choice for the Thugs Of Hindostan. But since Hrithik demanded a lot of changes in the script, he was unceremoniously dropped from the film, and Aamir was very keen to come on board immediately.

Actress Sanjana Sanghi, who will be next seen in Pankaj Tripathi-starrer ‘Kadak Singh’, has opened up on her character, saying how she sees her role Sakshi in herself.
Directed by National Award winning director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, Pankaj will be seen as Ak Shrivastava, a man suffering from retrograde amnesia, who gets caught in a web of lies as he tries to recover his memory.
Talking about how different this role is from all the roles that she has played so far, the 27-year-old actress said: “She is a loving sister, daughter, and responsible child who acts older than her age due to circumstances. I would like to believe that the portrayal of Sakshi in ‘Kadak Singh’ is different from anything I have done in my career as a leading actor.”

The period of Shraddha and the Navaratras and the fortnight preceding Diwali is considered a very bad period for the release of new films in terms of business. Traditionally, old hit films used to be re-released during this period in the hope that a good number of viewers would show up to keep the cinemas above the red zone.
The other alternative was to release dubbed films from the South. These films, which are as well or better than the Hindi films today, did not draw people at that time. They were called fillers, or alternatives to a cinema hall not screening any film at all. The show had to go on.
Of late, filmmakers have been challenging this age-old tradition, ignoring past records and releasing their films during this month. Not one or two, but starting from October 6 up till November 3, as many as 26 films will hit the cinemas.
