Angelina Jolie Opens Up About Her And Brad Pitt’s Children, Calling Them ‘Very Private People’ Who Prefer Life Away From Fame And Acting

Oct 29, 2024 · 10:23 AM Blog

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s well-known children reportedly have no desire to follow their parents into the world of fame and glamor.

While speaking to E! News at the AFI premiere of her new film Maria in Los Angeles on October 27, the actress, 49, shared that she doesn’t expect any of her six children—Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16—to become actors.

“No, I think they’re especially shy, very private people,” she told the outlet, adding, “They want to be private.”

Jolie echoed similar sentiments regarding her kids in 2019 during the press tour for her then-upcoming film Maleficent. At that time, she told People that she had tried to get her kids to make cameos in the Disney film, but they were not interested. Instead, she noted that her children have other ambitions. She revealed, “[They’re into] business, humanitarian affairs, things like that.”

Of her youngest daughter, Vivienne, who appeared as a young Aurora in the 2014 original, Jolie mentioned that even she prefers to stay away from the cameras. Vivienne has reportedly given her mother grief for making her a princess, believing that’s not her vibe.

Currently, amid Jolie and Pitt’s contentious and longstanding divorce battle, their children appear to be siding with their mother and are reportedly her “biggest supporters.” A family source told People earlier this month that Jolie has successfully created a life for herself and her kids, who are all happy in their spaces. The insider noted that although the process has been tough for Jolie, she is proud of how her kids have shown resilience and remained strong by her side.

Jolie’s Maria, in which she portrays opera singer Maria Callas as she retreats to Paris after a glamorous yet tumultuous life in the public eye, will debut in select theaters on November 27 and will also be released on Netflix in December.

5 Netflix supporting characters so good that we wanted to see them longer in films

Oct 29, 2024 · 10:23 AM Blog

Supporting characters add more depth to a film’s plot and make it more interesting. Bollywood films often use supporting characters to add a new angle, such as comedy, friendship, or more. However, several characters have impressed us so much with their acting, role, or uniqueness that we wish we could have seen them more on-screen.

From Imran in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara to Gopal in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, they didn’t just contribute to enhancing the plot but left such an impact that we wish to know more about their personality.

Top 5 supporting characters so good that we wish they had a longer screen time in the film

1. Imran (Farhan Akhtar) – Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

IMDb Rating: 8.2/10
Cast: Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif, Kalki Koechlin
Director: Zoya Akhtar
Release Date: July 15, 2011

In every group of friends there is a friend who is unique from the others, and Imran in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is one such character. Among Kabir and Arjun, Imran was a breath of freshness who has a good sense of humor, a playful personality,, and a a poetic approach.

Farhan played the role with complete conviction, and it resonated well with the film’s audiences. He adds a touch of lightheadedness in some serious scenes and is like that old childhood friend who hasn’t changed despite growing up. Imran’s deeper emotional truths make the film more than a road comedy-drama, and it would have been interesting to learn more about his backstory and life apart from his friends.

2. Sweetu (Delnaaz Irani) in Kal Ho Naa Ho

IMDb rating: 7.9/ 10
Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, Saif Ali Khan
Director: Nikkhil Advani
Release Date: November 28, 2003

One of the most adorable supporting characters is Sweetu from Kal Ho Naa Ho, played by Delnaaz Irani. She is quite a bubbly and fun-loving friend of Naina and adds humor to the film. Her carefree attitude and loyalty towards Naina make her the ideal friend we all want.

Sweetu has several heartfelt and funny interactions with other characters, giving her an impressive screen presence. However, she has limited screen time in the film, and we would have loved to know more about her story and see more of her vivacity.

3. Kamaljeet Kaur (Kirron Kher) – Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna

IMDb Rating: 6.0/10
Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta, Abhishek Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan, Kirron Kher
Director: Karan Johar
Release Date: August 11, 2006

Bollywood never gets it wrong with the mother’s character, and Kamaljeet Kaur, played by Kirron Kher in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, is one of them. Despite the film’s complex storyline on extra-marital affairs, her role as a doting and humorous mother added balance to the serious film.

She brings warmth to the screen, and her Punjabi pride as a mother is highly relatable. However, she has limited scenes, and we would have loved to see more of Kamaljeet’s scenes where she takes the central role and makes the drama film less intense.

4. Gopal (Rajpal Yadav) – Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2

IMDb Rating: 5.7/10
Cast: Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani, Tabu, Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra
Director: Anees Bazmee
Release Date: May 20, 2022

One of the most iconic supporting roles ever has been Gopal by Rajpal Yadav in the Bhool Bhulaiyaa series. His role in the second installment is more interesting, with unique expressions and quirky antics. As he becomes a constant companion of, Ruhaan, we love to see their banter on-screen.

Despite his short screen time, he leaves a lasting impression, and it’s difficult to stop laughing whenever he enters the screen. We hope he had more screen time where we could be more of his quirks or misadventures that would have added more fun to the film’s horror-comedy film.

5. Farah Ali (Anushka Sharma) in Dil Dhadakne Do

IMDb rating: 7.0/10
Cast: Shefali Shah, Priyanka Chopra, Anil Kapoor, Ranveer Singh
Director: Zoya Akhtar
Release date: June 5, 2015

Shefali Shah and Priyanka Chopra Jonas shine as the female leads in the film. But, we couldn’t get over the carefree and independent Farah Ali, played by the charismatic Anushka Sharma in the film. A dancer by profession, her upfront attitude, and ability to challenge high-society values and orthodox norms make her interesting.

Moreover, her chemistry with Kabir in the film and her ability to be herself and carry it confidently differ from those of the elite Mehra family. Her character enters late and leaves too soon. So, we would have to see more of her personality and fight to be an independent woman in the film.

Each of these supporting characters left an important mark in the film and added a charm to the film. Moreover, they enhanced the leads in the film, and we would have loved to see them more. Whether it was through their continued screen presence or exploring their backstories, the film would have created more magic on-screen.

Over 150 Injured In Massive Cracker Accident During Kerala Temple Festival

Oct 29, 2024 · 10:23 AM Blog

More than 150 people were injured, eight of them seriously, in a fireworks accident at a temple in Kerala’s Kasaragod district late last night. Shocking visuals from the spot showed crackers triggering a massive fire and a cloud of smoke as people gathered on the temple premises ran to safety.

According to local media reports, the incident took place at Anjootambalam Veerekavu during the celebration of the beginning of the Theyyam festival.

Eyewitnesses have said that a firecrackers display was on around midnight, and one of the crackers may have fallen into the nearby shed where more crackers were stored. Visuals showed people in the crowd shocked as the shed erupted into massive flames and smoke.

Priyesh was at the temple with his cousins for the festival. “It started with a loud blast, and then we saw a ball of fire. Soon, there was panic. There was so much crowd. Many people were standing by the side of the shed and since there were too many people, they couldn’t move around freely. We immediately started rushing people to nearby hospitals,” he said, according to Manorama Online report.

Sreerag, associated with the temple, came from Bengaluru to attend the festival. He was managing the crowd when he heard the explosion. “Usually we expect a big crowd on the festival’s second day. On Monday night, the crowd was unusually high.”

“Chinese crackers were stored in the shed. A spark from a flower cracker may have fallen into the shed, igniting the crackers,” he said.

Several local residents have told Manorama that the storehouse was near the place where crackers were burst. Panchayat representatives have blamed a lack of vigil. “Crackers are not burst on a large scale here. It is a small event. However, there should have been more precaution regarding the distance between the shed and the place where crackers were burst,” local ward member E Shajeer said, according to the Manorama Online report.
