Setting personal boundaries at work

If reports are to be believed, Ananya Panday and Ishaan Khatter who were apparently dating each other, have parted ways. The rumours of their romance started during the promotions of Khaali Peeli. Many media portals reported that the duo is more than just co-stars or friends. Soon, they started vacationing together. Not so long ago, when Shahid Kapoor celebrated his birthday in the presence of his family and close friends, Ananya also made it to the special guest list, which subtly confirmed her alleged relationship with Ishaan. While none of them have openly admitted to their relationship, rumours suggest that they have mutually ended their relationship owing to work commitments. In her recent tete-a-tete with News18, when Ananya was asked if she gets affected when a lot is written about her personal life, she said, "I think I have got better for sure.

David Bowie unquestionably became a great rock star—the greatest ever, according to a tribute published by Rolling Stone after his death in 2016. Yet, it comes closer to the truth to call Bowie a “rock star,” the quotation marks suggesting that what Bowie created was a persona of the rock god, in much the same way that Cary Grant manufactured the quintessential image of the glamorous “movie star.” This is not to take away from his genuine accomplishments as a singer, songwriter and musician—he couldn’t have forged such a compelling persona without those gifts. Bowie’s real project was making art, and rock music and performance are best understood as just some of his modes of artistic expression. Brett Morgen’s documentary Moonage Daydream , which premiered in the Cannes Midnight Screenings section, does supreme justice to Bowie by presenting him above all as an artist intent on exploring not only popular music, but painting, video, writing, dance, and film and … [Read more...] about Cannes Review: Brett Morgen’s David Bowie Documentary ‘Moonage Daydream’

BBC bosses have for the first time indicated they may be open to a change in the corporation’s funding model after 2027. Director General Tim Davie told a UK House of Lords Committee session on BBC Funding yesterday that he is “open minded” about the future of the £159 ($200) annual fee so long as it doesn’t lose audiences, while chair Richard Sharp said the BBC is prepared to face “existential questions” on the future. Davie, who countered that there is “jeopardy” in changing the established funding model, said he and Sharp will be involved closely with the UK government’s forthcoming landmark review of the fee, which kicks off next month. Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries, who recently rubberstamped the sale of Channel 4, has indicated a preference for the BBC to change the way in which it is funded when the charter ends in 2027. She has frozen the licence fee for the next two years, a move that will lose the BBC around £1.5BN ($1.9BN) over the next five years, it … [Read more...] about BBC Bosses “Open Minded” About Future Of Licence Fee, Will Be Closely Involved With Landmark Funding Review
