Actor Nicole Kidman, who played  the role of a domestic abuse victim in hit TV show "Big Little  Lies", has penned a touching letter calling for women to  support and celebrate each other.
The 50-year-old actor, who has been a goodwill ambassador  of the United Nations Development Fund for Women for the past  decade, recently won an Emmy for her performance as an abused  wife in the drama.
"It never occurred to me that I should be at a  disadvantage because I was born a girl. The idea that women  and men are equal is part of my DNA. I was raised by a strong  feminist mother and a fully supportive father, so it never  occurred to me that I should be at a disadvantage because I  was born a girl," Kidman wrote in the letter to Porter  magazine.
Crediting her forward-thinking parents for instilling  confidence in her, Kidman said she has always been attracted  to roles of strong, independent women.
"Each of us, in ways big or small, will come across  challenges, often arising out of the ..

Actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who  plays the role of Jamie Lannister on "Game of Thrones", does  not believe the finale of the show will have multiple endings  to avoid spoilers.
"Game of Thrones" is the most pirated show in history but  Coster-Waldau believes it is a little too expensive to shoot  multiple endings just to confuse hackers.
"Do you think that's true? It seems really stupid to me.  I mean if it's true I don't believe it, but I don't know,  maybe.
"I mean, I haven't read the script, so unless they will  show several endings that could be a twist, they're not going  to waste that money. They know how expensive it is to shoot.  You're not going to waste USD 100,000 a day to shoot something  you're not going to use. It's not going to happen," he told  Marie Claire when asked about the rumour.

Social media has become an integral  part of Bollywood movie promotions but actor Varun Dhawan says  online popularity does not often translate into the big  opening of a movie.
"I don't think most of the big and successful actors get  into this. But I cannot deny this (referring to social media),  it will make you think. Today, every actor thinks before  writing anything on social media.
"... We cannot be relying so much on social media. It  does not translate. Social media popularity will not translate  into your film's opening."
The "Student of the Year" actor says people have the  right to express their opinion online but it is unfair to  become abusive or threatening.
"People can have their own liking and disliking towards a  film. There is no harm in disliking a film. If you don't like  something you have the right to express your feelings as we  have the freedom of speech in our country.
"Saying something bad is totally cool (referring to  acceptance) as we can learn something.

"I'm disappointed. We had this beautiful, funny,  heartbreaking, joyful, very relatable script and story. It's  not just disappointing that we dont get to tell the story and  have that experience, but more so for that audience that has  been so vocal in wanting another movie."

At a time when there is a debate  about children's participation in reality shows, actor Shilpa  Shetty believes they have the right to showcase their talent  on the small screen.
In July this year, filmmaker Shoojit Sircar called for a  ban on reality shows involving children.
But Shilpa, who judges kids dance reality show "Super  Dancer - Chapter 2", says her opinion on the subject differs  from Sircar's.
"Everyone has the right to have an opinion. I don't hold  it against him for expressing it, there's always a different  perspective on the same situation. 'Super Dancer' is a great  platform to showcase one's talent and if dance is a child's  forte, it's a great place to hone it," Shilpa told PTI.
"But that participation has to be the decision of the  child and not be forced on him/her by the parent."
The dance reality show, which will on Sony Entertainment  Television from September 30, is also judged by Anurag Basu  and Geeta Kapur.

"Technology has always scared me, and it's always seduced  me. People ask me, 'Will the machines ever win against  humanity?' I say, 'Look at people on their phones. The  machines have already won'. It's just (that) they've won in a  different way," the director, best known for blockbusters such  as "Titanic" and ...
