The actor opened up about why he turned down the role of the show host in the film, which was originally played by Anil Kapoor.

Reveals Why He Said No to Slumdog Millionaire Role: SRK

Notably, at that time, Shah Rukh Khan was hosting the Kaun Banega Crorepati show on television. He disclosed his decision during the World Government Summit 2024 in Dubai. Here is more about SRK Reveals Why He Said No to Slumdog Millionaire Role.

Yes, Slumdog [Millionaire] was there, now that you mention it. And I spend a lot of time with Mr. Boyle (Danny Boyle). He’s very sweet. But I was doing Kaun Banega Crorepati on television, successfully at that time. And I just felt in the story that was being told, the guy who was hosting was very mean, in the story that was being told.”
SRK said,

Explaining why he said no to the role that ultimately landed with Anil Kapoor,

I was cheating and being dishonest as the host (in the movie). So I just found that it’s very strange that I’m being a host (on KBC) and I’m cheating in the film. So I explained to Mr Boyle (Danny Boyle) that I wouldn’t like to do it, please, and there are way better actors than me. And I think Mr Anil Kapoor did it and he was fantastic as the host.”
SRK added,

At the same Summit, King Khan also discussed how he has never been offered any substantial crossover projects from Hollywood.

I’ve said this honestly, but nobody believes me. Nobody has offered me any crossover work of substance. I may have had conversations with people. I know lots of lovely people from the West, from the English film industry, from the American film industry, but nobody has offered me any work. I hear actors talk about wanting to cross over, but I still have to learn to deliver to the audience that likes me, instead of spreading myself too thin. So, really, I’ve never been offered a film in Hollywood or England.”

“I’m not avoiding Berlin; I’m avoiding Germany” – DJ Jyoty explains her decision to withdraw from Berghain

TheNewsay Staff — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 17:43:45 +0000

International DJ Jyoty on pulling out of Berghain: DJ Jyoty, a rising star in the British music scene, has gained recognition through her acclaimed radio shows. Her musical repertoire spans various genres, including UK Garage, house afro, unreleased classics, and underground electronic music.

For those unfamiliar with her, you can explore her remarkable performances on BBC Essential Mix and the Boiler Room, both of which garnered widespread attention with 3.6 million views on YouTube.

International DJ Jyoty on pulling out of Berghain: Europe News

Initially scheduled for her debut performance at the renowned Berghain club, Jyoty, along with other internationally recognized artists, canceled appearances in Berlin. This collective decision led to the Berlin Senate retracting the controversial “anti-discrimination clause” for arts funding.

More than 1,000 figures across cultural sectors, including film, publishing, and music, expressed solidarity with Palestine, prompting a backlash. Renowned individuals like Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Charlotte Prodger, and Annie Ernaux, winners of the Turner and Nobel Prizes, joined the Strike Germany movement.

The contentious clause, introduced last month, mandated recipients of government arts funding to reject antisemitism as per the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition. This definition includes equating Israeli policy to Nazis and denying the State of Israel’s right to exist.

Jyoty’s withdrawal from Berlin’s dance music CTM festival is not her first political stance. She previously supported Indian farmers during their strike a few years ago. Beyond her role as a broadcaster and DJ, she has also worked for the UK Labour party after studying politics.

Euronews Culture interviewed Jyoty to understand the reasons behind her decision to withdraw from the 25-year-running CTM festival in Berlin.

Ukraine Shelling Bakery Russia Control 28 Casualties: Russian-backed officials claimed that Ukraine attacked a bakery in Lysychansk with rockets from the US on Saturday at around 12:30 GMT.

Ukraine Shelling Bakery Russia Control 28 Casualties: Moscow

Ukraine struck the bakery in Lysychansk with U.S.-supplied High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) on Saturday, as per Russian-backed officials.

Emergency workers searched for survivors in the remains of the Adriatic Restaurant on Moskovska Street throughout the night, where Russian officials said a bakery for civilians was set up.

Leonid Pasechnik, the Russian-installed head of the Luhansk region now controlled by Russian forces, stated that the armed forces of Ukraine targeted a crowded bakery in Lysychansk. Russia’s emergency ministry rescued 10 people, but four are in extremely critical condition, and the search continues.

As per the Ukraine Shelling Bakery Russia Control 28 Casualties, There has been no comment from Ukraine about the attack, and Reuters couldn’t immediately verify the weapons used.

After an invasion in February 2022, Russia gained control of parts of eastern Ukraine, considering the land part of Russia. Ukraine and the West refuse to accept the annexation of that territory.

The Russian foreign ministry condemned Ukraine’s attack, urging the West to consider why its financial support to Kyiv was used to harm civilians. Preliminary data suggests the use of Western weapons, according to Maria Zakharova, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman.

Reuters confirmed the video’s location, shared by the Russian emergencies ministry, as the Adriatic Restaurant on Moskovska Street, Lysychansk, matching Google Maps. However, details, including the footage date, remain unverified.

Only about a tenth of Lysychansk’s pre-war population remains, according to Ukrainian officials. While Ukraine reclaimed some territory in 2022, its 2023 counter-offensive faced challenges against fortified Russian lines. In the last month, Russian forces seized 56 square miles of Ukrainian territory, as per the Belfer Center at Harvard’s Kennedy School.
