A teenage girl was allegedly raped by two unidentified persons, whose accomplice restrained her male friend, on a deserted stretch on the outskirts of Vadodara.
Adam Brody and Kristen Bell have captivated fans with their undeniable on-screen chemistry in their recently released romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This. Brody portrays Noah Roklov, and Bell plays his character’s love interest, Joanne.
Since the series aired on the streaming giant on September 26, it has received a positive reaction from the audience. Recently, Brody revealed his experience sharing the screen with his co-star and discussed filming a kissing scene with Bell in this Netflix series. Read on further to know more details!
During his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Adam Brody opened up about working with his co-star Kristen Bell in Nobody Wants This. He also revealed that his real-life friendship with Bell made them comfortable filming some of the intimate scenes in the show.
The Gilmore Girls actor said, “I think because we know each other, it’s less strange, as strange as that might sound,” adding, “I don’t know, I mean, I think there’s some trust there, there’s some familiarity.”

Kimmel then asked Brody whether he and his wife, Leighton Meester, have been spending more or less time with Bell and her husband, Dax Shepard since the filming wrapped. In response, the River Wild actor acknowledged it was a good question, noting that it might be the ‘litmus test.’
He explained that they don’t really hang out since they live on opposite sides of town—he on the west side and Bell and Shepard on the east, before revealing, “But Dax is always like moaning, ‘Oh, I wish you lived on the east side we could hang out more.’”
The final episode, titled Bat Mitzvah Crashers, concluded with a cliffhanger, which left fans eager for a Season 2. Brody teased the possibility of a second season and said the network is playing it ‘cool.’ He added that he doesn’t know anything officially, saying, but “in my heart of hearts, I feel I know something.”
His co-star Kristen Bell also recently commented on their kissing scene. Bell spoke with E! News and told the publication, “Even I can acknowledge watching it, like, ‘Whoa, that’s hot,’” she said, referring to the sequence, before revealing that her husband, Dax Shepard, felt the same while seeing it.
The actress noted that although her on-screen chemistry with Adam Brody looks convincing enough to make her husband root for the characters, nailing that wasn’t easy.
Bell explained, “I’m not trying to be reductive, but I think there’s a math to it. You have two actors that know how to stare dopily into each other’s eyes, and you have to have the confidence to expand that and really sit the anticipatory value before the kiss — which I think is really important.”
Nobody Wants This is now streaming on Netflix.
The 70s was one of the most iconic decades in the history of Bollywood, and the writing duo Salim-Javed is credited for creating those epic stories. Recently, Amit Aaryan, who wrote the TV show FIR, claimed that Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar are more like ‘copy-writers’ because they plagiarised from other writers and never produced original work.
Amit Aaryan is also known for writing shows like Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai, and Lapatagan. He recently sat down for an interview with Digital Commentary and shared his views on Salim-Javid, one of the most famous screenwriters from Bollywood.
He said, “I do not consider Salim and Javed writers. They are two people whom the whole world salutes, but they have only, in their entire lives, plagiarised. Salim and Javed are copy-writers, not writers.” The writer shared some examples, like the story of Ramesh Sippy’s Sholay in 1975, which he alleged was taken from a Raj Khosla movie, Mera Gaon Mera Desh, from 1971.
Amit shared, “Sholay features one man, whose hands were cut off and his family eliminated by a dacoit, trying to take revenge against his rival through other persons. In Mera Gaon Mera Desh, Vinod Khanna played a dacoit named Jabbar Singh, who became Gabbar Singh in Sholay. Actor Jayant played a retired soldier in the Khosla movie whose one hand was cut off. In Sholay, there is a retired police officer with both his hands cut off.” However, he shared that Amitabh Bachchan’s character was added to the story.
Aaryan mentioned similarities in the stories of films and claimed that every scene from Sholay was copied from other films. He also argued that the 1975 film Deewaar by Yash Chopra was copied from Gunga Jumna.
The FIR further alleged that the writing duo, Salim-Javed even copied from their work, mentioning films like Gunga Jumna, Deewaar, and Shakti. He shared how every frame and action sequence is plagiarised, yet the world parishes them. Amit said, “Salim and Javed are better businessmen and salesmen. They knew how to sell something and narrate it well.”
Apart from his sensational claims, Aaryan recalled how Salim Khan was a big fan of the TV show FIR, which he wrote. He even invited the team for lunch with his family. A couple of months ago, a documentary on Salim Javed, Angry Young Men, was released, and he called it a way to clear their image of their children.
