On October 17, 1999, actress Madhuri Dixit Nene tied the knot with Dr Shriram Nene in a traditional ceremony in southern California. The couple has two sons- Arin and Ryan. While Arin was born in 2003, Ryan was born in 2005. Despite being Madhuri's sons, Arin and Ryan always stayed away from media's attention. In a recent tete-a-tete with Bollywood Bubble, when Madhuri was asked about the same, she said, "It was a big decision in life to come back because we thought about it a lot. My parents were getting old. They wanted to come back to India. They didn't want to live there and so it was a big decision for me. Also, I think it's great that I came here because my kids got to see how people live because where they are in the USA, they are in their own bubble." She further said that her sons Ryan and Arin did not know what was happening outside. But once they came to India, they realised there's a much bigger world out there and people live differently in … [Read more...] about Madhuri Dixit Reveals Real Reason Behind Keeping Her Sons Away From Media Attention

David Bowie Reflects on Life Through Rare Footage in ‘Moonage Daydream’ Documentary Teaser Trailer
In the first teaser trailer for Moonage Daydream — the first documentary film about David Bowie to be sanctioned by the artist’s estate — director Brett Morgen wields rare and never-before-seen footage to present the film’s quintessential goal of capturing the illustrious performer. “All people, no matter who they are, all wish they’d appreciated life more,” Bowie says in a voiceover in the trailer. “It’s what you do in life that’s important, not how much time you have – or what you wished you’d done.” Arriving in theaters in September, the film mines five decades worth of material from Bowie’s archives, from exclusive drawings, recordings, and films to journals, personal footage, and unseen performances. The trailer’s narrator prompts: “Questions have arisen such as: Who is he? What is he? Where did he come from? Is he a creature of a foreign power? Is he a creep? Is he dangerous? Is he smart? Dumb? Nice to his parents? Real? Put on? Crazy? Sane? Man? Woman? Robot? … [Read more...] about David Bowie Reflects on Life Through Rare Footage in ‘Moonage Daydream’ Documentary Teaser Trailer
Abigail Disney Fearlessly Challenges Fellow One-Percenters On Distribution of Wealth — Deadline Disruptors
If Abigail Disney had listened to her financial advisers growing up, the heiress would have concentrated on one thing above all else: getting even richer. The granddaughter of The Walt Disney Company co-founder Roy O. Disney says of those early money managers, “They were really lovely, wonderful, nice people who had known me since I was a child… and they taught me some things that it took me a long time to break open and really unpack. Nobody said this out loud—this was just implied—but if you end your life without more than you started with, then you’ve somehow failed. And beyond that, your children should be better off than you were.” But with her, the imperative to compile wealth on top of wealth didn’t take. “I think that’s an appropriate thing, maybe in the middle class or the working class,” she notes. “But I started already with more than I need. Why would I want more or need more?” The social activist, philanthropist and documentary filmmaker has become a … [Read more...] about Abigail Disney Fearlessly Challenges Fellow One-Percenters On Distribution of Wealth — Deadline Disruptors
