Actor Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub is fast emerging as a reliable actor, after having been a critical part of films such as Raees (2017) and Tanu Weds Manu Returns (2015). It might have taken him a lot of hard work to reach this purple patch in his career, but Zeeshan feels it would be wrong on his part if he terms his journey as a struggle.

“Struggle is a glorified word, and I get offended by it. Logo ne is word ko khoob becha hai. People who say so much about the ‘struggle’ they had to do, I have one question for them: Kisi ke baap ne kaha tha aapko Mumbai jaao aur star bano? (Who told you to go to Mumbai and become a star?). You chose this, ab isske bare mein ro kyun rahe ho?” If living on the roads was a struggle for you, does living in a bungalow now mean that the struggle is over? For you, success is measured in terms of money, instead of art,” says the 32-year old, who started his career with the critically­acclaimed No One Killed Jessica (2011), and will next seen in Thugs Of Hindostan.

“I chose this profession. I had the option to do something else, as I was good in studies, too, or could have come back from Mumbai to pursue theatre. My wife was there to support me, TV kar ke she was earning money, toh ghar chal sakta tha. But I wanted to do this,” he adds.

Actor Kristen Bell, who has been married to actor Dax Shepard since 2013, says she never tries to show that her marriage is “perfect”. The couple has two daughters, Lincoln and Delta, and Bell says her marriage suffers problems like any other relationsh­ip, reports people.com. “Humans want nothing

Actor Eijaz Khan, who made people laugh with his comic act as Jassi in the film Tanu Weds Manu (2011) and its sequel, is 42 years old, single, and has pretty much given up on love.

“I think more than that, love has given up on me! I just want to be happy. Once you cross 40, you are in a better position to reflect upon what’s right and wrong. You are not in a race to please anyone, and you realise which people matter to you the most. I won’t say you wise up completely, but you are more in touch with yourself. But I am not expecting anything to happen in the love area now,” says Eijaz, who was dating Canadian singer Natalie Di Luccio, but the two split up.

Eijaz believes that relationsh­ips today are only about updating status and posting cute pictures on social media. “People don’t give respect to their relationsh­ips anymore, because they make it completely public and exploit it for likes on social networking sites. Thankfully, I come from a generation more than to be accepted, and I’m no different. That doesn’t happen by presenting perfection,” Bell told Redbook magazine. “I believe in showing your dirty hands and your bumps and bruises and your faults, because that’s what makes people feel connected, and isn’t that kind of the purpose of, you know, being on Earth?” she added. which didn’t have any mobile phones.” He has a piece of advice for people who stay glued to their gadgets: “Keep your phones aside and try to live your life instead.”
