'Soopda saaf' for BJP in UP and Bihar: Shatrughan Sinha
Actor-turned-politician and Congress leader Shatrughan Sinha on Sunday expressed confidence that he would retain the Patna Sahib Lok Sabha seat for the third consecutive term despite a formidable challenge posed by the BJP, which has fielded Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad from the seat. Sinha, whose wife Poonam has also made her electoral debut in Lucknow against Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, said for the BJP it would be "soopda saaf" (whitewash) at the hands of the "Mahagathbandhan" in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, which together account for 120 Lok Sabha seats. Of the 120 seats, more than 100 were bagged by the NDA five years ago. The sitting MP also scoffed at claims made by the BJP, which he quit last month ending three decades of association, that it was poised to win 300 seats on its own. "They did not win 300 in 2014 despite the Modi lahar (wave). Now when the lahar has become a kahar (curse), making such a claim is just bluster," he told reporters outside the

People were shocked with my choice of doing female-fronted films, says Anil Kapoor
Anil Kapoor says it is always difficult to cast a big name as a male lead in a female-fronted project. The 62-year-old actor, who has worked in films like "Beta", "Judaai" and "Laadla", which had stronger female characters, says early in his career he was advised by industry insiders to not take up movies in which the heroine had a "better or equal role". "When I did films like "Judaai" and few others a lot of industry people would wonder and get shocked at the same time that 'why I am doing films in which the role of a heroine is better than mine or maybe equal?'. That was the mindset of a few people. "But I would always go for films that either had good role for me or the story was nice. Like sometimes either Madhuri Dixit Nene or Sridevi would get best roles in the films that we acted in together. I did this for longevity," Kapoor told PTI in an interview. Citing example of his home production film "Khubsoorat", the actor-producer says the problem still persists as they faced tough
