Government sources indicated that the decision was taken after Prime Minister Narendra Modi underscored the point that “social justice, in a diverse nation like India, was the priority for his government”
Ananya Panday launched the trailer of her upcoming web show, Call Me Bae a few hours back. During the special event, the actress admitted that her show is inspired by many women-led comedy films, including Alicia Silverstone’s Clueless and Sonam Kapoor’s Aisha. The actress also talked extensively about her experience of working on a long-format series.
Today, on Aug 20, a while back, Ananya Panday launched the trailer of her maiden OTT series, Call Me Bae in Mumbai. In the upcoming show, she will be seen playing the titular role of Bae aka Bella Chaudhary, who is born in a privileged family. Things take an unexpected turn when she gets downgraded to middle class.
Talking about her comedy-drama show, the actress revealed that it is a combination of the “chick-flick kind of movies” she loved while growing up. “And then there was obviously Poo, who was iconic. I literally dressed up as Poo two years ago… I have all her quotes on my mirror and everything, so she’s really left an imprint on me. It’s like a mix of Schitt’s Creek, Clueless, Aisha, Nancy Drew…,” she mentioned.
Ananya stated how we don’t get to watch much of these “light, young adult, happy and fun” shows. The actress mentioned despite her character has all of these traits; her character is “fully her own person.” In addition to this, the actress also called her portrayal in the show a fun yet challenging role in her career.
She explained her point by mentioning that this was the first time she was doing a long-format series. Drawing a comparison with films, she mentioned that one has a couple of scenes in the film that deprive them of building up a backstory. However, the long format shows give one a chance to do that.
She also credited the team and the crew of the show for the dialogues, which were written that way. She admitted having fun while working on it.
Call Me Bae also stars Vir Das, Varun Sood, Vihaan Samat, Muskkkaan Jaferi, and more. Backed by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra under the banner of Dharmatic Entertainment Pvt Ltd, the show is scheduled to stream on Amazon Prime Video on September 6, 2024.

American actress and businesswoman Priscilla Presley, best known as the former wife of music icon Elvis Presley, opened up about her late daughter Lisa Marie Presley’s nearly two-year marriage to Michael Jackson in an interview with Piers Morgan on the UK’s Talk TV last year in 2023.
Priscilla Presley told host Morgan that she was “very” concerned about her daughter (who was the only child of Elvis Presley) when she tied the knot with global icon Michael Jackson.
“He loved Elvis or respected Elvis, so I always felt that having the name, associating with the name with his daughter…I was concerned,” she added.
Just like any mother, Priscilla thought Jackson’s respect for Elvis might have influenced his decision to marry Lisa Marie, who died suddenly at the age of 54 in January 2023.
As a mother, Priscilla also added that she was also concerned about the dynamics of their marriage. She recalled and said that she never really saw Jackson around her. He was “always gone” she added.
Priscilla Presley said that Lisa Marie used to tell her that Jackson would be away for three or four days before he called her. Furthermore, the actress said that she could never really predict if her suspicions about his motivation for the marriage were correct, as per Daily Mail.
According to Priscilla, the couple (Marie and Jackson) tied the knot in 1994 amidst the time when the dancing star was facing accusations of child sexual abuse.
The former couple married in the Dominican Republic and kept it a secret for three months. Alas, the duo divorced in early 1996.
Back in 2007, Lisa Marie Presley told Marie Claire that leaving her first husband Danny Keough for Jackson in 1994 was “probably the biggest mistake of my life.” She didn’t name either man in the interview.
However, after Jackson passed away in 2009, Marie told Oprah Winfrey that even though she had true feelings for the late superstar she was always aware that he was an expert at manipulating the media.
She said that, back then she did not understand why Jackson was that way ( thinking he did not love her) but later she realized that manipulation was his survival tactic.
Lisa Marie passed away in January 2023 of complications linked to bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) which she underwent years ago.
