Actress Ruby Rose says she almost drowned during the filming of her upcoming movie "Meg".
	The 30-year-old actress said she was left shaken after the incident during the filming of a water scene and was even more worried when the director John Turteltaub thought she was just acting for the intense shark scene, rather than trying to rescue herself, reported Female First.
	"John thought I was acting, and I was acting for a little bit, but then I really needed them to throw me something to get out of the water.(John) was like, 'Just hold, this is great, this is amazing.' And I was thinking, 'This is not fantastic, I'm sinking'.
	"I then screamed, 'Help!' I did it in my American accent because I thought, 'If this looks amazing, I still want it'. Because you can't say anything longer than (Ruby) when you're choking water up," Rose said.

Actress Selma Blair has termed her airplane outburst that saw her being hospitalised as "embarrassing".
	In June, the 44-year-old actress was taken off the aircraft on a stretcher on her return flight from Cancun, Mexico. Blair had been on a trip with her son, Arthur Saint, 5, and his father.
	The incident was attributed to a combination of prescription drugs and alcohol.
	"I'm fully recovered. (It was) very embarrassing," she told People magazine.
	"I can only say that sometimes you just have a moment that you wish you didn't have, and you do whatever you can to rise above that and get through it and be a better person.
	"I'm looking forward to how everyone can come together and make this world better and really see the things that make people struggle, and empathy, and helping people, and that we will all have a better 2017 than 2016. I'm ready to put it behind me.

Actor Taron Egerton says his upcoming film "Robin Hood: Origins" will be dark and gritty.
	The 27-year-old actor, who will start shooting the movie at the start of 2017, said his incarnation of Robin Hood will be markedly different from previous versions, reported Female First.
	It's a real reimagining; it's not really very recognisable as Robin Hood. Robin Hood has a reputation for being quite clean and wholesome, aside from Alan Rickman's amazing performance in the Kevin Costner version, but it's tights and thigh-slapping and merry men.
	"This is really kind of dark and gritty and very funny too, but it's a real revisionist version of the story. There's no singing and riding through the glen in this; it's a real war movie," Egerton said.
	The movie is set to shoot in Hungary and ahead of production.
	Quite an anti-establishment war movie, I would say... It's dark. And Robin's not perfect in it, either, which is what I like about it. He's not a classic hero, he makes mistakes.

Actress Zendaya says she is enjoys dressing up for red carpet and is a different person whenever she walks on one.
	"I love to slay a red carpet. When I step on one, I'm a different person, like Sasha Fierce and Beyonce. Honestly, I walk like an old man-the Coleman Trudge. On the red carpet, I'm this dainty, slow, elegant gazelle," the 20-year-old said.
	Zendaya said she does not life the concept of being pretty.
	"We don't do pretty. Pretty is boring."

	"When I first moved to New York, I was a teenager, it was 1979, and New York was a very scary place. In the first year, I was held up at gunpoint, raped on a rooftop with a knife digging into my throat, and I had my apartment broken into and robbed so many times I just stopped bolting the door."

	"I just want to take a picture right now," West said, smiling.
	"You take care of yourself, I'll see you soon," Trump told West.

Actor Mohnish Bahl who will be seen hosting crime series "Hoshiyaar... Sahi waqt, sahi kadam", says it is difficult to do such shows as they are emotionally draining.
	Mohnish returns to television after a long hiatus as a 'Sutradhaar' (narrator) for the crime series, which will be aired on &TV.
	"It's not easy as whole day you are subjected to negative emotions and crime. It's difficult to do a show like this. When we talk about negativity through crime it has an effect on me. It's not a comedy show that I am enjoying myself," Mohnish told PTI.
	"But the purpose of the show is to avert the crime and change things in a better way. I think if you don't feel empathy for what happens your performance won't come true as a host. The audience should believe what you are saying," he said.
	The concept of the show appealed to the 55-year-old actor who thinks the show addresses day to day issues in a positive manner and emphasizes on the preventive measures rather than glorifying the ...

He has often featured in movies tackling sensitive subjects, but Rajkummar Rao's forthcoming "Behen Hogi Teri" is a refreshing break for the actor, as it is not a "typical" romantic-comedy of Bollywood.
	The actor made his debut in 2010 with Dibakar Banerjee's "Love Sex Aur Dhokha" and went on to work in films like, "Kai Po Che!", "Shahid" and his last release, "Aligarh".
	Though Rajkummar has a comedy-drama film to his credit, Sonam Kapoor starrer "Dolly Ki Doli", "Behen Hogi Teri" will be his first solo lead romantic-comedy.
	"This is probably my first solo lead rom-com. But, just because it belongs to that genre, doesn't mean the efforts are not there. It is not that I am doing anything less. There are preparations, training, I am emotionally as involved as I am for any other film," Rajkummar told PTI.
	"But yes, 'Behen Hogi Teri' is not a typical Bollywood potboiler, or romantic-comedy. It is a very relatable, human film with lot of interesting moments," he added.
