Provincial booking system for appointments with pharmacists goes live

People can book an appointment to see a pharmacist through a new provincial online booking system, making it even easier and more convenient to access the health care they need.

On June 1, 2023, pharmacists’ scope of practice was expanded to allow them to prescribe for 21 minor ailments and contraceptives and as of June 27, 2023, more than 25,000 people have seen a pharmacist for an assessment.

“New hospitals and clinics will help meet people’s health-care needs over the long term, but we are also taking action today to make it easier for people to access the care they need now,” said Premier David Eby. “Starting tomorrow, people will be able to book an appointment online to see a pharmacist. This is a major step toward getting the health care you need, on your schedule, and in your neighbourhood.”

The new online booking system is similar to the Get Vaccinated system where people booked appointments to get their COVID-19 and influenza vaccinations. Through the new online booking system, people can search for available appointment times at nearby pharmacies based on their minor ailment or contraceptive needs. Appointments can continue to be made by calling or visiting a pharmacy. Walk-in service without an appointment is also available at some pharmacies.

“Since June 1, 2023, when pharmacists became able to assess minor ailments, they have provided care to thousands of people in B.C. who are in need of this service,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. “The high uptake not only demonstrates the value of the service of pharmacists to the public but also the continued dedication of pharmacists to their patients’ care. The online booking system will make it even easier for people to book an appointment with a pharmacy and is an important step toward improving access to health care,

while continuing to build a stronger public health-care system for all of us.”

On April 1, 2023, the Province implemented universal coverage for more than 60 commonly used birth-control methods, including oral contraceptives, copper and hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs), implants, hormonal injections and the morning-after pill. British Columbia is the first province in Canada to provide free contraceptives.

Between April 1 and May 19, 2023, pharmacists dispensed contraceptives to more than 81,000 patients under the new policy at no cost.

“Pharmacists are pleased to see this system in place,” said Chris Chiew, president, BC Pharmacy Association. “It makes it easier for people in B.C. to quickly find a pharmacy to get a prescription for contraception or a minor ailment like pink eye or a simple urinary tract infection. Pharmacists are here to support patients needing convenient access to care.”

The pharmacists’ scope of practice expansion is an action from B.C.’s Health Human Resources Strategy, announced on Sept. 29, 2022, which ensures people get the health services they need and are cared for by a healthy workforce. The strategy focuses on 70 actions to recruit, train and retain health-care workers, while redesigning the health-care system to foster workplace satisfaction and innovation.

As part of the strategy, the Province is also implementing a new family-doctor payment model to help more family doctors start or continue their practice; adding more post-secondary training seats for doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses and allied-health professionals; making it easier for internationally educated health professionals to enter B.C.’s health-care system; and adding more supports for people living in rural, remote and First Nations communities, including virtual health-care and travel programs.

Province strengthens supports for international credential recognition

People with international credentials will be better supported to get their professional credentials recognized in B.C. and start working sooner in their field.

“We know that many internationally trained professionals are struggling to have their credentials recognized in their chosen profession,” said Andrew Mercier, Minister of State for Workforce Development. “This is about fairness and making sure that people who have the skills and expertise can access supports and services provided through their local non-profit and immigrant service organizations.”

The Government of B.C. is providing $1.5 million to the Association of Service Providers for Employability and Career Training (ASPECT) for new grants to organizations that help internationally trained professionals get through the credential recognition process.

“This investment will provide critical support to newcomers going through the credential recognition process to use their skills and knowledge in indemand jobs and help reach their fullest potential,” said Selina Robinson, Minister of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills. “In addressing the workforce challenges through this investment and our StrongerBC: Future Ready Action Plan, our government is making education and training more accessible for people who call B.C. home.”

The Province held a series of public surveys and discussions aimed at identifying clearer and faster pathways for skilled people who have immigrated to Canada. The resulting public report will be released in summer 2023 and will guide the international credential recognition legislation aimed at reducing barriers and supporting more internationally trained professionals.

“We are delighted by this provincial investment to enhance international

credential recognition in British Columbia. Employment service organizations are connected to internationally trained newcomers and their communities,” said Janet MorrisReade, CEO, ASPECT. “They can facilitate removing barriers for newcomers to navigate connecting to their chosen profession more quickly than without support. This vital funding will enable more newcomers to gain access to credential recognition and workplace success.”

B.C. is expecting one million job openings over the next decade,

387,000 of which are expected to be filled by newcomers to the province. Investing in credential recognition for internationally trained professionals aligns with the StrongerBC: Future Ready Action Plan. The action plan is supported by a provincial investment of $480 million over three years. This funding will complement other provincial programs and services for newcomers, such as the Career Paths for Skilled Immigrants program, which helps newcomers find employment in their field.

Gurmat Center’s 30th Annual Awards Ceremony: A Celebration of Success and Maharaj Jee’s Kirpa

Sunday, June 11, 2023, marked a momentous day as Gurmat Center, a youth-focused, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting Sikh principles, hosted its highly anticipated 30th Annual Awards Ceremony. The event turned out to be an incredible success, with Maharaj Jee’s Kirpa (blessings).

The event began in the morning with pakoray and scrumptious fries Langar awaiting everyone. As the Sangat enjoyed the tasty treats, the atmosphere was filled with warmth and excitement.

Following Langar, Sevadars distributed wristbands to students from Kindergarten to grade 12, granting them entry into exciting prize draws.

The Sangat gathered in Darbar to commence the Awards portion of the event. The serene ambiance was set aglow by Kirtan, devotional music, performed by the hardworking and dedicated Gurmat Center students.

Following Kirtan, the ceremony continued with various segments, each highlighting the achievements and contributions of the Gurmat Center community. Class pictures

were taken, capturing the collective memories of the students and teachers. Volunteers, who selflessly dedicated their time and effort throughout the year to the organization, were recognized and appreciated for their invaluable contributions. Sponsors were also recognized, who graciously gave Dasvandh (donations) to make the entire event possible.

The most eagerly awaited part of the event was the award ceremony itself. Each and every student received a

After the Darbar proceedings, Sangat stepped outdoors to enjoy pizza, cotton candy, popcorn, popsicles, freezies, and ice cream sandwiches. The festivities continued with a captivating Gatka performance, a traditional Sikh martial art display. Families and friends also enjoyed a photo booth, capturing precious moments of joy and togetherness, as well as various inflatables.

plaque. Additionally, medals were presented to students who secured the first, second, and third positions in each class, acknowledging their academic excellence and commitment. This recognition inspired a sense of pride and motivation among the recipients, encouraging them to continue their pursuit of knowledge and personal growth.

The ceremony included a special tribute to the visionaries behind Gurmat Center’s success. Directors Harnek Singh Brar and Jagdev Singh Sahota were honored for their 30 years of dedicated service, playing instrumental roles in nurturing and guiding the organization. Bahadur Singh Bhattal, who played a pivotal role in establishing Gurmat Center 30 years ago, was also recognized for their invaluable contributions.

An exciting highlight of the event was the sharing of Gurmat Center’s start-up story, an opportunity for the Sangat to learn about the organization’s humble beginnings and its journey over the past three decades. This narrative showcased the perseverance, dedication, and vision of the individuals who laid the foundation for Gurmat Center’s growth and impact.

Adding to the excitement, prizes were distributed, rewarding the participants’ active involvement and engagement throughout the event. In addition to students’ prizes, prizes were also drawn for parents. The grand finale consisted of 3 grand

prizes – a 7 piece Outdoor Swingset, a 15-ft Trampoline, and a 4K HDR Drone.

Gurmat Center’s 30th Annual Awards Ceremony was an extraordinary achievement, thanks to Maharaj Jee’s kirpa and the collective efforts of the organizers, volunteers, and community members. The event exemplified the unity, spirit, and dedication of the Gurmat Center family in promoting Sikh values and nurturing the next generation. As the organization moves forward, it will undoubtedly continue to inspire and impact the lives of individuals, guided by the blessings.

BC Government committed to Improving Schools in Province

By: Surjit Atwal

The Province of British Columbia is committing to make schools “stronger, safer, and more inclusive,” as they build new schools and hire new teachers.

Minister of Education, the Honourable Rachna Singh emphasizes that the government will invest in capital projects such as new schools, programs, and seismic upgrades, which the NDP government has been in the process of enacting since 2017, to address the rapidly rising population across the Fraser Valley.

“I will be talking to the school partners about what more enhancements we can bring in,” Singh says on her plan of action. “This is one of the top most priorities, that every child, no matter what special needs they have, will get the support they need.”

Singh, previously the parliamentary secretary for anti-racism, highlights the necessity of hiring new ESL teachers to accommodate the growing number

of students whose first language is not English and provide the, and the problems of racialization ESL students face.

“A lot of times the kids come from different backgrounds, languages, and looks that they have. We know that racism is also a reality for those kids. We are working towards making our schools safe and inclusive for everybody. Having a strong anti-racism plan is a strong priority for me.”

“We know that some communities like Surrey, Abbotsford, Langley are growing at a really fast pace and that's what our commitment is in the education sector since 2017,” Singh says.

“We have invested especially in the capital projects in the new schools.”

Singh also expressed concerns about the crucial staffing shortage across the schools that has seen districts such as Chilliwack hiring uncertified teachers. In Singh's mandate letter, Premier David Eby pointed out the doubled student population that is growing every year.

Funding alone is not enough to fix the healthcare system: BC Green Party leader

By: Surjit Atwal

BC Green Party Leader Sonia Furstenau says that the recently announced federal government funding “is a start” in addressing BC’s healthcare crisis, but administering which resources are getting funded is a more important measurement.

The leader’s comments echo those of NDP Premier David Eby, regarding avoiding viewing the recently announced federal funding as a panacea.

“If it's a matter of pouring a whole bunch of money into the system as it's operating now, I don't think we will get to a successful outcome,” Furstenau says. “One of the things that we have called for is to focus on community health centres as a way to get primary care to everybody in BC to meet the needs of people.”

To Furstenau, having “allied health professionals working together to meet the needs of people,” is the task at hand. The provincial budget plans to allocate $6.4 billion over three years to public healthcare, more specifically, to improving cancer care, providing more training for practitioners, as well as $1 billion for funding mental health and addictions services. Ultimately, Furstenau believes that the province has “to look at a longterm approach" on the current crisis, adding that "we measure our success in how many [healthcare professionals] British Colombians have.’’

Until that process is complete, Furstenau says needs aren't being met.

“At every part of our healthcare system, we are seeing it not meet the needs of people.”

Canada announces new immigration stream specific to health workers

Communities across Canada need health workers. The health field is one of several key sectors of Canada’s labour force which is facing unprecedented shortages. To help respond to this challenge, last month, Minister Fraser announced new changes to Canada’s flagship economic immigration program, Express Entry. Now the Government of Canada can issue invitations to apply for permanent residency in Canada to candidates from particular fields or with specific skills, training or language ability.

The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, and the Honourable JeanYves Duclos, Minister of Health, announced the use of these new features for a dedicated round of invitations to be sent to health workers, including doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, physiotherapists and optometrists. The first round for category-based selection will open today and will invite 500 health workers to apply. A second round, inviting 1,500 workers to apply, will take place on July 5. This phased approach will ensure the smooth launch of the program.

By focusing on candidates with health care expertise and by bringing in the talent the country needs, this measure will help improve access to health care services for Canadians and their families. Additionally, the firstever category-based selection rounds support Canada’s commitment to welcoming in-demand professionals and skilled workers into communities across the country. Alongside general invitation rounds, these categorybased selection rounds will continue throughout the year, and more details will continue to be announced in the coming weeks.

A dedicated round of invitations for health workers is in addition to existing immigration initiatives to fill labour gaps in the health sector.

- The Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot, for which two new

streams were announced a few weeks ago, creates opportunities for skilled refugees and other displaced individuals to use their education, training and experience to continue their careers in Canada. To date, this pilot has seen the greatest uptake in the health care sector with over 50% of the applications received being for candidates working as nurses’ aides, orderlies, and patient service associates.

- In April, changes were made to Express Entry to facilitate the issuance of permanent resident visas for physicians providing publicly funded medical services in Canada.

- In December, the Government of Canada announced $90 million will be invested in projects to help remove barriers preventing qualified and skilled newcomers from gaining work experience in their own profession or field of study.

- Between 2017 and 2022, 21,656 skilled newcomers arrived in Canada to work in health occupations.

This announcement advances Canada’s efforts to retain and recruit health workers to address the health workforce crisis. Supporting a sustainable health workforce is one of the shared health priorities agreed to by the Government of Canada and provinces and territories, outlined in the Working Together to Improve Health Care for Canadians Plan. This plan is supported through a Budget 2023 commitment of close to $200 billion over 10 years, including $46.2 billion in new funding to provinces and territories, to improve health care services for Canadians. As part of these agreements, provinces and territories are also being asked to streamline foreign credential recognition for internationally educated health professionals, and to advance labour mobility, starting with multijurisdictional credential recognition for key health professionals.

What all Canadians should know about rising rates of kidney disease

(NC) Let’s debunk a myth about kidney disease: it does not only affect people with high-risk factors such as diabetes and high blood pressure. It can affect people who seem otherwise perfectly healthy and fit, including children and teens.

It’s estimated that nearly four million Canadians suffer from kidney disease, and about 4,000 die from it annually.

Because kidney disease can progress without any noticeable symptoms, many Canadians are unaware they have any issues until permanent damage has occurred and life-saving treatment is necessary.

For those in later stages of the disease, dialysis is the go-to treatment. It often leaves patients and families physically and emotionally overwhelmed. Dialysis can involve four to six hours

of treatment, three to six days per week for the rest of the patient’s life, often with distressing side effects. This extensive treatment also uses significant resources and dollars from the health care system.

But dialysis is just a bridge to help people get to the best treatment option: a donor kidney. Almost 80 per cent of Canadians on the waiting list for an organ transplant are waiting for a kidney. Currently, wait times for kidneys from deceased donors are four years or more, meaning most patients die before receiving a transplant.

However, there is a life-saving alternative: living organ donors. You do not need to be related to the recipient to be a match. If you are healthy enough, you could be a match for a neighbour, friend or stranger.

Turn up the heat on summer safety

(NC) Summer is the perfect time to get outside, fire up the grill and make new memories with friends and family.

Before hosting your next get together, make sure your space is “summerproof” and ready for action by taking stock of your home’s fire safety precautions. Here are three essential summer fire safety tips from First Alert.

Check and update alarms. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends installing smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms on every level and in or near every bedroom of your home. Test alarms regularly and replace the batteries at least every six months.

To eliminate the need for battery replacements, upgrade to 10-year sealed battery alarms. Remember that alarms don’t last forever and should be replaced at least every 10 years.

Gear up to grill. Before you fire up the barbecue for your next cookout, position it well away from the house on a flat surface and give it a good cleaning to remove built-up grease that could cause flare ups. Equip yourself with long-handled tools to provide plenty of clearance from the heat and flames. In case of an emergency, have a fire extinguishing device on-hand.

Make an escape plan. The warm weather makes summer the ideal time to plan and practise a home emergency plan with your entire family. Identify two exits out of each room, including windows and doors. Set a dedicated meeting spot a safe distance from the house and ensure everyone knows to call 911 only after they are safely outside. The NFPA recommends practising your home escape plan at least twice a year. Learn more summer safety tips at firstalert.ca.

Province launches new initiative to protect people during extreme heat emergencies

People in B.C., especially those most at risk of health impacts from extreme heat emergencies, will be better protected as the Province expands access to air conditioners for people who are medically vulnerable and have low incomes.

This builds on B.C.’s work to strengthen heat response and health emergency supports throughout British Columbia.

“We know extreme heat emergencies can cause significant health challenges for vulnerable people and that’s why we’ve taken steps so B.C. and our healthcare system are better prepared,”

said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. “We’re ensuring more people have the tools and supports they need to stay safe during extraordinary heat events. As well, we’re making record investments to our ambulance services and team-based primary care to strengthen our health system.”

The Province is providing $10 million for BC Hydro to expand its Energy Conservation Assistance Program to include free, publicly funded portable air conditioners (AC), meaning more people who are the most vulnerable during extreme heat emergencies will have access to more cooling options to stay safe.

Because of this investment, B.C. Hydro expects to install 8,000 airconditioning units over the next three years for people who have low incomes and are medically vulnerable to heat.

“Many people in B.C. struggle with extreme heat and often have limited options available when it comes to

cooling,” said Chris O’Riley, president and CEO, BC Hydro. “We are committed to providing assistance through new funding for free airconditioning units for vulnerable and low-income customers as well as a new rebate offer for all residential customers.”

A wide range of actions are underway following engagement with vulnerable populations, emergency planners and other stakeholders to better understand ways to better protect

people most at risk during extreme heat emergencies. Highlights include: investing $369 million to the Community Emergency Preparedness Fund, which supports communities in mitigating and preparing for disasters and climate-related emergencies; providing more than $52 million to support long-term care facilities to install or upgrade existing heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems;

distributing an emergency inventory of cooling and clean air items to non-profit operators, through BC Housing; and

connecting home and community care providers to people who are most at risk, such as through chronic disease registries.

“Extreme weather is now part of our reality because of climate change and it’s important that people, especially those most at risk from extreme heat, have the supports they need to stay safe,” said Dr. Bonnie Henry, provin-

cial health officer. “Making cooling units more available, in addition to other services, will help people and families in B.C. be better protected during extreme heat emergencies.”

This announcement builds on extreme heat initiatives rolled out in 2022, including the launch of the BC Heat Alert and Response System (BC HARS). The Province also introduced the ability to issue broadcastintrusive emergency alerts during extreme heat emergencies. These alerts will immediately and directly give people the information they need to protect themselves and their loved ones during extreme heat.

The Province also created the Extreme Heat Preparedness Guide, which helps people prepare their residences for extreme heat and provides advice about how to stay safe when temperatures rise. The guide is available in French, Punjabi, traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese and was created in partnership with the BC Centre for Disease Control.

“We know that some people are disproportionately affected by extreme temperatures,” said Bowinn Ma, Minister of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness. “That’s why we’re taking steps to ensure that our province’s most vulnerable people are protected. These proactive measures announced today enhance our capacity to support and care for people during extreme heat emergencies, further strengthening our resilience in the face of climate change.”

In addition, the Province continues to significantly invest in BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) by adding more paramedics and dispatchers, modernizing its equipment and improving its governance and oversight. Budget 2022 provided an additional $148 million over three years to increase the number of paramedics and dispatchers, and Budget 2023 provides a further $130 million over three years to increase the on-call rate for paramedics and expand ambulance coverage rates throughout B.C.

Avtar Singh Dhindsa along with his wrestlers from Guru Gobind Singh Wrestling Club Abbotsford also attended this championship. These wrestlers were chosen to represent team Canada at these championships. The matches were very close, and these are the standings of the championships:

Simple ways to beat the summer heat

(NC) Whether you bask in tropical days of a heat wave or dread hot temperatures each summer, you should know how to stay safe during extreme heat. Hot days are expected to become more frequent and intense across Canada in the future. Here’s what you can do.

Get informed

Tune in to local forecasts or sign up to receive heat alerts on your phone so you know when to expect the heat. If it’s available, check the Air Quality Health Index in your area since air pollution is often worse on very hot days.

Don’t wait for thirst

Feeling thirsty is not a good sign of how hydrated you are, especially in hot weather, so be sure to drink water before you feel thirsty. Try leaving a glass by the sink as a reminder, and up your fluid intake by eating fruits and vegetables with high water content like watermelon or grapes.

Keep your home cool

If you find yourself in an overheated home, activate the air conditioning if it’s available.

If you don’t have air conditioning, close your curtains or blinds during

the day to block out heat from the sun, and avoid using your oven to cook. If it’s safe, open your windows at night to let in cooler air. If it gets too hot in your home, relocate to a cooler area of the home like your basement or visit an air-conditioned space like a library or cooling centre.

Be friendly

Try to plan regular check-ins with family, friends and neighbours on hot days to help each other find relief. Head to an air-conditioned space such as a home, the local library or the movies. Extreme heat poses health risks for everyone, especially for young children, older adults and those of us with breathing difficulties or other health conditions. It’s smart to stay connected to give and receive support.

Kids aren’t the only ones affected by RSV

(NC) Respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, is a highly contagious illness with mild cases having similar symptoms to a cold or flu. Many people associate RSV with young children, however, RSV can affect people of all ages. In fact, adults over the age of 60 are among those at increased risk of developing serious respiratory issues from RSV, even more so if they have underlying conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, diabetes or congestive heart failure. RSV can worsen such conditions and may lead to hospitalization. And while young children may have higher rates of hospitalization, most deaths attributed to RSV occur in older adults.

So, what happens that makes us more vulnerable to RSV once we’re older? As we age, our immune system weakens, which makes us less able to fight off infections and can increase

our vulnerability to viruses like RSV. This natural, age-related decline in immune function becomes more evident the older we get, making older adults more likely to face severe problems and potentially become hospitalized with RSV.

Getting sick with RSV at an older age can also have long-term impacts, including an increased risk of heart attack and stroke weeks or months after catching the virus, which can also lead to loss of mobility and independence.

While preventive options for RSV are in development, there’s currently no vaccine or treatment for RSV in adults, making it crucial to take steps to avoid catching it. Regularly washing your hands and avoiding close contact with people who are sick, even if that means having to skip a visit with the grandkids or outings with friends, are effective measures you can take.

From Balwant Sanghera’s Desk: Happy Birthday, Canada!

Canada has just celebrated its 156th birthday on July 1. Only a few days ago, it reached a landmark of 40 million population. Canada’s colonial past often overshadows its present, numerous positive attributes and accomplishments. There is no doubt that Canada has a lot of dark chapters as part of its history. Treatment of the Indigenous communities,Chinese Head Tax, o Exclusion Act , the Komagata Maru tragedy , treatment of Japanese Canadians during World War 2 are just some of the unpleasant and unfortunate events that caused a lot of pain and suffering to the affected minority communities. However, successive Canadian governments of all stripes must be commended for their efforts at righting these wrongs. To-day’s Canada can be proud of its policy of inclusion, fairness and social justice.

Canada continues to be the most favoured country for potential immigrants. We are experiencing record levels of immigrants to Canada. During the past few years, record number of international students,temporary foreign workers, visitors and immigrants from all over the world has greatly enriched this country. Canada is one of the most open, inclusive, welcoming multicultural and multilingual countries in the world. This country’s natural beauty, natural resources, vast and diverse landscape are unmatched in the world. Canada is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. The degree of freedom we enjoy in this country is envy of many. Despite all of these very positive attributes Canada is also facing a lot of challenges.

Sky high housing prices, inadequate support for seniors, crumbling infra-

structure, lack of resources for the vulnerable people and reconciliation with the Indigenous communities need immediate attention. Misuse and abuse by unscrupulous elements of our rather compassionate and lenient laws have made Canada a safe haven for criminal elements. All of this needs immediate attention of our law makers and decision makers at every level. Our fast growing population needs major improvements and upgrades to our infrastructure. Internationally, Canada needs to assert / reassert itself as a peacemaker and peacekeeper. Our national leadership needs to recognize that peace and good government are as essential today as they have been in the past.

Finally, we need to work on our identity. Each one of us needs to respond to the question: What does Canada mean to me? What are our traditional val-

ues? How do I define myself as a Canadian?

Answers to questions like these would be helpful in defining our identity as citizens of this great nation. As Canada reached its 40 million population landmark on June 16 this year, Canada’s chief statistician, Anil Arora put it very well in these words: “This is an exciting milestone for Canada. It is a strong signal that Canada remains a dynamic and welcoming country, full of potential. As we head into Canada Day, this is certainly cause for celebration. “

Anil Kapoor, who has clocked four decades in the film industry, says he harnesses his negative feelings, such as reluctance, nervousness and anxiety, and makes something good come out of them. Kapoor was promoting the second season of ‘The Night Manager‘ along with co-actor Aditya Roy Kapur and director Sandeep Modi in Mumbai on Monday. Some time back, the news that Kapoor was at first reluctant

I’m a constant learner: Bhumi

about his Shelly Rungta role went viral. When asked about it, Kapoor said: “I am reluctant for each and every role; it was not that I was reluctant only for my role in ‘The Night Manager’. I am always overcome by this anxiety and nervousness about whether I will be able to do the role or not, and I use that energy to perform better.” The senior actor continued: “I seriously don’t know how to do a role with overconfidence. Somehow, these little things help me do my role exactly the way my director wants me to do it. I draw energy from my reluctance and anxiety.”

‘The Night Manager’ is a Hindi remake of the BBC television series based on John Le Carre’s novel of the same name.

Sunil not for censorship of streaming platforms

F or the past few months, there have been calls to bring in a censorship system into the OTT space to crack down abusive language and obscenities in shows and movies. But actor Sunil Shetty is not in favour of the idea. “I don’t believe that good doesn’t sell and only evil sells. That is where we are going wrong, and it is because of social media. That being said, censorship is a very difficult process today. What do you censor? What don’t? So, you have to be morally responsible,” says the Dhadkan actor. “In today’s world, there is a very thin line in everything. For instance, if you are taking advantage of no censorship in the space to sell junk, then it’s not fair. Restrictions, when it comes to age and content, should very much be there,”

adds Sunil. Explaining his thoughts, the 61-year-old further says, “If it is extreme, and if it is harming someone, an individual, a religion or anything or causing an overall disturbance in the ecosystem, then it’s not fair. You have to be morally responsible. I would not show or be part of such content because I feel there’s an audience for it.”

A ctress Bhumi Pednekar credits her directors for making her the artiste that she has become today. “The directors that I have been fortunate to work with, have shaped my career and my craft and I couldn’t be more grateful to them,” says the Badhaai Do actress. Bhumi feels she has been able to make a mark constantly because the directors believed in her talent and honed her to better her acting skills with every film. She says, “The directors I have worked with have been so

forward-thinking, they have rooted for equality and they have made the girl an agent of change and action. My core values have matched with the filmmakers that I have worked with.I will continue doing the same all throughout my career because I’m a constant learner.” She adds, “I feel I have something new to learn and become better as an actor every single day. I’m always going to be this person. Every day I’m working hard to achieve that goal.” On the work front, Bhumi will be seen in films like Ajay

Actress Kubbra Sait has talked about working with acclaimed actors such as Jisshu Sengupta and Sheeba Chaddha in the upcoming Kajol-starrer The Trial - Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokha. Kubbra has shared her experience working with her co actors. Talking about her experience working with Jisshu Sengupta, Kubbra said: “The cast of The Trial are a great bunch of people, really wonderful. My first day of shooting was this face off scene with Jisshu and he’s so stoic, quiet,

Actress Kajol recalled her experience of filming Jaati Hoon Main with SRK, praised and called him the most understanding co-actor. Talking about shooting Jaati Hoon Main, the Baazigar actress said, “I had no clue what was being done. I was told before the shot ‘do this, do that’ and I did just that. It was tough to do, but I did it. I would say one thing about Shah Rukh Khan that he is still one of the most understanding co-stars.” She continued, “(It’s) because he understands what is uncomfortable for a woman to do and not to do and he tries his level best to make you most comfortable to do that.” Praising SRK, the Fanaa actress added, “I would say that he is the most understanding of actors that I have worked with in my whole (career). He really gets it, that, ‘This is not comfortable for her to do and it’s ok, I will figure a way out to make it as comfortable as possible’.” On the professional front, Kajol is awaiting the release of Lust Stories 2 and The Trial.

my God. She’s such a good actor, also Sheeba and I follow each other on Instagram. So, we’re in touch every day, that’s something that we do, come what may.” “Allyvery interesting choice to play Vishal because of his energy, what he brings to the table, which is so different from anybody else we've seen.” added Kubra on working with Ally Khan. The movie will be streaming on Disney+ Hotstar from July 14.

When Neena rinsed her mouth with disinfectant

Actress Neena Gupta is in the industry for over four decades has revealed how she was left sleepless the day before her kissing scene in a TV show and eventually convinced herself to do it but in vain. The Badhaai Ho actress revealed that she had to kiss costar Dilip Dhawan in a Zee TV show Dillagi decades ago and despite her being able to do the scene somehow, it was removed from the show. Neena told in an interview, “The Indian TV program showcased its first-ever lip-to-lip kiss, leaving me intrigued and sleepless. Despite finding the person attractive, we were only acquaintances, mentally and physically unprepared. As an actor, I approached it as a challenge, akin to emotional scenes. I completed the task but immediately used Dettol to cleanse my mouth. Kissing someone unfamiliar, without love, proved immensely difficult.” “The channel thought that they will boast about it in the promo, calling it the first kissing scene on Indian television and all that. They had to remove it because it went against the publicity, it went against them. There used to be just one television in each house and people said how they would watch it with their children,” she said. Neena is currently seen in Lust Stories 2 on Netflix.
