Allen (left) claims in his new memoir that Timothée Chalamet (right) denounced him in 2018 because the actor thought it would increase his chances of winning an Oscar. “He publicly stated he regretted working with me and was giving the money to charity,
but swore to my sister he needed to do that as he was up for an Oscar for Call Me by Your Name, and he and his agent felt he had a better chance of winning if he did it, so he did,” Allen wrote in his memoir. HTC saal aata hai.”
Actor Saurabh Shukla emphasises on the stress-free usage of social media, if people can’t go out to catch a play. He says “We are in this together. In a time when you know there’s an ominous fear, it’s good to have stressfree time. If people have recorded plays, then the footage should be on social media.”
However, for many, it’s the happy memories that keep them going. Actor Shabana Azmi shares one such incident and says , “I was once arrested along with 16 slum dwellers for a demonstration. My parents, Javed (Akhtar; husband), Feroz Khan and Farooq Shaikh all came to the police station because I was to perform Tumhari Amrita in Mumbai at 6pm. My mother, Shaukat Kaifi pleaded with the police officer and said, ‘We come from theatre and for us the show must go on. Please release my daughter so she can do her play and I will personally bring her back to you’. Ultimately, I reached the auditorium at 8pm and was on stage seven minutes later. We got a standing ovation!”
