Quantico star as gay superhero
penly gay actor Russell Tovey, who is in the TV series Quantico, is set to play a gay superhero. Raymond “Ray” Terrill is described as a reporter who discovered a group of government scientists working on a secret project to turn light into a weapon of mass destruction. But before he could report on his findings, the project head exposed Ray to a ‘genetic light bomb’. The bomb failed to kill him and instead gifted Ray with light-based powers. With these abilities, Ray realised he could go beyond reporting on injustice — he could take action to help stop it. @ParisHilton: You’ve heard of elf on the shelf, now get ready for...
@britneyspears: Keeping the people of Puerto Rico and those affected by #HurricaneMaria in my thoughts
@ArianaGrande: home safe. happy fall.
@ddlovato: Lovatics are so talented... So cool watching you guys sing my songs
@MileyCyrus: Barefoot Boots @iheartradio rehearsals!!! See you in Vega this weekend
@TheEllenShow: I’m not telling you to go see #Kingsman just because @ ChanningTatum & @ HalleBerry are my friends. But they are, in case you were wondering. “I can’t think of missing Ashtami anjali and this year won’t be any different. But I’d be shooting for most of the [five] days. We usually celebrate at the Durga Puja organised by Neelam Mukherjee (late actor Joy Mukherjee’s wife). My mother (Dolly Bose Roy) is a member of the Puja committee. Two years back, my daughter Kiara was chosen for Kumari Puja. I want to go to Kolkata to see how the city celebrates the festival but have never been able to. Growing up, my Puja memories are from my Ahmedabad days, a city that has major Bengali settlements. Wearing new clothes, pandalhopping and eating mutton chop, fish chop, and bhog are a few things that I miss doing.” “This year, it’d be a most different Durga Puja for me. My parents aren’t coming to Mumbai and Gurmeet (Choudhary, her husband) is also travelling. So, I am planning to spend time with my friends in Mumbai and enjoy Kolkata street food in Juhu. Growing up, I remember how during one of the five Puja days, we’d book a car and the family would go pandal-hopping at night in Kolkata. That used to be so much fun.” “This is the first time I’ll not be in Delhi for Durga Puja and that, too, at my parents’ home. We’ve been having this Puja for 12 years. But this year, I’ll be in Mumbai. This is my first Puja after marriage (to swimmer Sandeep Sejwal), so it’s super-special. I’ll cook bhog at home, and then wear a sari with gold jewellery to go pandalhopping. As children, we ate our favourite food all five days — unlimited fun!” “This year, I’ll be travelling for Navratri events. That is fun, because I’ll be able to celebrate Durga Puja in different cities. My mother, Madhumita Datta, and brother, Debraj, will come to Mumbai to spend time with me, and I’ll take some time off. I won’t miss Ashtami anjali. During my days in Kolkata, I enjoyed dhunuchi dance, pandal-hopping and savouring junk food. And yeah, I’d check out boys with my girlfriends!” “I’ll be in Mumbai, working. But I’ve taken an off for Ashtami anjali, and will also go out with friends. This is the third year that I’ve not been able to visit Kolkata for Durga Puja. This year, however, is special because I’ve just bought a house in Mumbai and it’d be fun celebrating my first Puja here. As kids, in Kolkata, my siblings and I used to look forward to my paternal grandfather’s ice-cream treat after Ashtami anjali.”
