It featured a reenactment of the ‘train scene’ from the film. The video was flagged by Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’s Production Company, Yash Raj Films for violating copyright. YouTube’s error reads, “The video contains content from YRF, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.” In its campaign, 'Fitness is not an option', the female protagonist, who reenacts Simran from DDLJ, can be seen running towards the hero, only, she is too unfit to get onto that train, something many of us leading such unhealthy lifestyles will relate to immediately. As Simran makes a dash for the moving train, she starts panting and wheezing. She gives up and tells her partner that she will catch the next train to meet him the next day. Cult.fit has also deleted the advertisement and announcement posters referencing DDLJ from Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. The campaign is produced by Supari Studios. However, Cult.fit said that the advertisement was released after all due diligence. "At Cult.fit, our focus through various marketing campaigns has been to resonate with our audience and create something relatable and memorable. We often lean on popular culture which has time and again proven to be impactful. We've taken a similar approach for our latest campaign - ‘Fitness is not an option’. The ad was produced and released after all due diligence done from our end. The response to it has been exceptional overall and we amassed over a million views on Instagram in less than 48 hours," Cult.fit's spokesperson told Advertising and Media Insider. The same campaign also puts a twist to Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’s (ZNMD) last scene ‘The Bull race.’ It features comedians Rahul Subramanian, Aadar Malik and Rahul Dua as Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol. <div type="Youtube" id="xAB3CZC1BcI" title="Fitness Is Not An Option (cult.fit)" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xAB3CZC1BcI/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Although, the once-bitten brand played it safe this time. Despite clear resemblance with ZNMD characters, it added a disclaimer that says, “The production is only for promotional purposes and all characters herein are fictitious and similarity with an actual person, living or dead, is purely coincidental.”

Emojis are universal, they transcend languages and cultures, and bind us all together through the emotions that they often symbolise. If some studies are to be believed, around 92% of all people online use emojis to communicate. And why not, they help add color, emotions and at times even suspense to our conversations. Over the years, brands too have realised the power of emojis and many have experimented in different ways with emojis to build a stronger connect with their consumers. Platforms have also launched custom emojis to further drive personalization and strengthen connect with their audiences. Twitter is a platform that has, over the years, experimented with emojis. Many brands that have innovatively used emojis have found success on the platform too. Ahead of World Emoji Day, we caught up with Rishabh Sharma, Head - Twitter Next, India, to understand how the use of emojis on the platform has evolved over the years, and to take a look at the campaigns of a few brands that have got it right. He also shares a few tips to help brands get their emoji game right on Twitter. Excerpts: Q) Emojis have become an important part of how we communicate in the digital world today. How have brands been using emojis to build a connect with consumers? In order for brands to create thumb-stopping messages, visual expression is a key ingredient in the mix. How we communicate socially and express our emotions has drastically changed in the digital world and people using the Internet are driving the rise of this visual language. Emojis on Twitter are a big part of this. Today, brands across categories and markets are leveraging Twitter’s branded emoji to add visual personality to their campaigns, becoming part of the conversation. Our internal studies show that brands leveraging custom emojis garner higher receptivity and engagement on the campaign hashtag. Brands are investing in creating a fun, appealing creative element that is unique to their campaign, product or message, and in return receiving organic endorsement when the people on Twitter use the branded hashtags in the Tweets. Q) How have you as a platform been customizing emojis to help brands communicate better? Our focus remains on partnering with brands to understand the theme of their marketing campaign, the message they are aiming to communicate and then advise them on the use of a custom branded emoji. The creative canvas is wide open for all brands to create something unique and personal for their audience. Some of the ideas we’ve experimented with include launching custom emojis that are designed through crowdsourcing, creating intrigue by exploring dark mode emojis or even asking the people on Twitter to unlock content by pairing emojis together. Q) What are some of the most effective brand campaigns on Twitter that have been heavily driven by emojis and have seen success in the past few years? Through the years, we have seen varied usage of emojis as the format has now become staple for brands in the country. Whether you’re launching a new brand, product, app, message or promotion, adding a visual identity makes the hashtag come alive. <a href="https://twitter.com/OPPOIndia/status/1412684605468012548">Oppo India</a> is live with a custom branded emoji for their upcoming launch of Reno6, and the design highlights the core feature of glow in the model. Last month, we saw <keyword id="3194526" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Netflix-India">Netflix India</keyword> (<a href="https://twitter.com/NetflixIndia">@NetflixIndia</a>) creating a swell conversation on the timeline as they <a href="https://twitter.com/NetflixIndia/status/1400343251329163264">went live with an emoji</a> for the movie ‘<keyword id="8920548" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="jagame-thandhiram">Jagame Thandhiram</keyword>’ and created a connection with the audience in the south celebrating Dhanush. Amazon Prime Video (<a href="https://twitter.com/PrimeVideoIN">@PrimeVideoIN</a>) India recently launched <a href="https://twitter.com/PrimeVideoIN/status/1410848332084252675">‘The Tomorrow War’</a> campaign on Twitter, where our teams collaborated to delight the streaming fans with a <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WhiteSpikesHunt?src=hashtag_click">#WhiteSpikesHunt</a> emoji. An emoji that will only appear once you switch off the lights on Twitter a.k.a dark mode. Spotify India (<a href="https://twitter.com/spotifyindia">@spotifyindia</a>) continues to lead with a language of expression, as they activated the much loved branded emoji for two successive <a href="https://twitter.com/spotifyindia/status/1273971294875160576">World Music Day</a> campaigns across the year. Q) How are you as a platform also making your emojis more diverse and inclusive? Emojis are embedded in the conversational culture on Twitter - their usage has grown with conversations on the service. Over the years, we’ve introduced several customised emojis to support diverse conversations. For entertainment enthusiasts, we’ve released custom emojis for movies like <a href="https://twitter.com/twitterindia/status/898465872024444928?lang=en">#Mersal</a>, the<a href="https://twitter.com/TwitterIndia/status/1318437648663339010?s=20"> 25th anniversary of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge</a>, and shows like <a href="https://twitter.com/TwitterIndia/status/787602771000168448">Bigg Boss</a>. Sports conversations are massive on Twitter, and we’ve encouraged these with emojis for the <a href="https://twitter.com/cricketworldcup/status/1133846210622709762">Cricket World Cup</a> and for the <a href="https://twitter.com/TwitterIndia/status/1378378919858950146">IPL</a>. We’ve also introduced several emojis for festivals like Diwali, <a href="https://twitter.com/TwitterIndia/status/926657299145400320?s=20">Guru Nanak Jayanti</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/TwitterIndia/status/1135753458764591109">Eid</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/TwitterIndia/status/984705774738796544">Vishu and Puthandu</a> to cater to diverse audiences pan-India, and also for occasions of national importance like <a href="https://twitter.com/TwitterIndia/status/1353704564931715072">Republic Day</a>. We even <a href="https://blog.twitter.com/en_in/a/2016/we-launched-our-first-crowd-sourced-diwali-emoji-in.html">crowdsourced an emoji for Diwali in 2016</a>. Like many others, our recent <a href="https://twitter.com/TwitterIndia/status/1366698471638507520">#AssemblyElections2021</a> emoji could be activated with hashtags in multiple languages. Earlier this year, we released the <a href="https://twitter.com/TwitterIndia/status/1367758348083335173">#WeAreWomen emoji</a> on Women’s Day, to support conversations from the women community across the globe. When we look at branded emojis, we’re catering to and partnering with a dynamic set of brands across categories, ranging from <keyword id="1245953" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="OTT">OTT</keyword> and media &amp; entertainment category, BFSI, Auto, E-commerce, Fintech and more. For Uber India’s (<a href="https://twitter.com/Uber_India">@Uber_India</a>) Valentine’s Day 2019 campaign, <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LoveMovesForward?src=hashtag_click">#LoveMovesForward</a>, we partnered with the brand to introduce a <a href="https://twitter.com/Uber_India/status/1095367504543633408?s=20">Pride Heart emoji</a> to spearhead love and acceptance, and build on their broader mission of ‘Move Forward’. The conversations on Twitter are evolving, and we make sure that reflects in how we’re contributing to these conversations. Q) What are some of the most effective emoji-driven formats that brands have been using on Twitter? We’ve been experimenting with formats to help brands engage more meaningfully. We have partnered with a number of brands to create what we call an <keyword id="11653792" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="emoji-engine">Emoji Engine</keyword> - and it has worked really well from an audience engagement lens. With the help of third party partners, we create a customised bank of emojis that serves people a personalised experience. When someone engages with an Emoji Engine campaign by Tweeting with an emoji, they’re rewarded with customised content that is tied to that specific emoji. Several brands have used the Emoji Engine to drive entire campaigns. <a href="https://twitter.com/bmwindia/status/1319284825140817923?s=19">BMW India</a> also gave people an exclusive peek into <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/The2?src=hashtag_click">#The2</a> through an Emoji Engine. <a href="https://twitter.com/NetflixIndia/status/1309482939101503488">Netflix India’s</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NetflixMatchmaker?src=hashtag_click">#NetflixMatchmaker</a>, which was based on the insight that customers actively seek content recommendations on Twitter, shared binge-worthy recommendations that match the mood of the emoji Tweeted with the campaign hashtag. <a href="https://twitter.com/Flipkart/status/1315653182429618178?s=19">Flipkart’s </a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BigBillionDays?src=hashtag_click">#BigBillionDays</a> campaign also used an Emoji Engine - wherein each emoji Tweeted was rewarded with suitable discounts and offers available in the flagship e-sale. Q) How can brands further up their emoji game on Twitter? As we continue to innovate with upcoming formats, and experiment with the existing creative canvas on Twitter, few guiding principles below can always enable the brand marketing teams to amplify the usage of emojis on Twitter. <ul><li>Think Upstream. Emojis aren’t just symbols that add receptivity to a brand’s hashtag but have the potential to kick-start an idea, and integrate multiple media touchpoints for a brand to connect with the audience on and beyond Twitter.</li><li>Shareable Message. When a brand invests in activating an emoji, it's equally important to focus on launching this with a shareable Tweet copy or CTA formats to establish an organic connection with the audience.</li><li>Beyond Products. With the increasing usage of emojis across all campaigns, the opportunity always exists to go beyond product-specific designs and push the creative envelope to design for cues that are core to the theme, and how your audience might connect with the message.</li></ul>

After <keyword id="2189512" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="prime-video" source="Orion">Prime Video</keyword> deepened its partnership with <keyword id="62161" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="dharma-productions" source="Orion">Dharma Productions</keyword>, Netflix has decided to join hands with Yash Raj Films (YRF) for a new multi-year creative partnership. The two iconic entertainers will collaborate to create films and series to bring defining stories to audiences in India and across the world. The first project to come out of this partnership is the character-driven thriller, The Railway Men, a four-part series starring R Madhavan, Kay Kay Menon, Divyendu Sharma and Babil Khan, which is directed by debutant director Shiv Rawail. The second project is titled Maharaj, which is a film marking the debut of actor Junaid Khan and also stars Jaideep Ahlawat, Sharvari and Shalini Pandey. The film has been directed by Siddharth P Malhotra, whose last film Hichki was a global hit. Monika Shergill, VP, Content, Netflix India, said, “We are passionate about serving our broad audiences with series and films that they connect with and love, and we want to do more of this. Yash Raj Films have defined the essence of Indian film-making. They are one of the most respected storytellers in the industry. From Kabhi Kabhie to Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, War to Pathaan, their signature stories have been part of our lives and continue to fuel the zeitgeist. Together, we are confident that we can entertain the world with quality films and series like never before.” Inspired by true stories, The Railway Men is a show based on the deadly gas leak in the central Indian city of Bhopal. A cloud of toxic gas escaped from a pesticide plant, on the night of December 2, 1984, in the city of Bhopal that injured and claimed thousands of lives. This is the untold story of the unsung heroes, who rose to the occasion that night to save the city and its people. This is the story of their courage, their sense of duty and their humanity. Also inspired by true events, Maharaj, is an incredible David vs Goliath story set in the 1800s, about how a regular man, journalist by profession, takes on a powerful role-model of society, hailed by many as a messiah for the masses. The fearless reporter uncovers a series of incidents that shake the very foundation of society. Akshaye Widhani, CEO, Yash Raj Films said, “YRF’s mission is to create entertaining, inspiring and extraordinary stories from India for the world. Netflix is the biggest streamer in the world and offers us an opportunity to tell our stories in over 190 countries. Their belief in the ‘content-first’ approach, is noteworthy and synergistic with our ethos. This partnership will certainly push YRF as a storyteller to new audiences and allow them to consume Indian stories in their own languages too. India is a young and aspirational country. We have 1.4 billion stories to tell the world. We want to showcase our content, as well as provide a platform for our brilliant homegrown talent to a global audience.” In December 2022, Prime announced that Prime Video today announced that it would co-produce a new movie for theatrical release with Dharma Productions and Leo Media Collective. The firm would be available for streaming across more than 240 countries and territories, after its theatrical release. Other than films, Dharmatic Productions is also working on web series that will be streamed on Prime.

But Simran's father has arranged a marriage match for his daughter back in India, which the couple must grapple with.The "Romeo &amp; Juliet"-esque movie was the highest-grossing Indian film when it was released in 1995, and is the longest-running film in the history of Indian cinema. Critics praised the movie for how it portrayed issues of social and generational conflicts in Indian culture.The Broadway <a href="https://playbill.com/article/shoba-narayan-and-austin-colby-to-star-in-broadway-bound-come-fall-in-love-the-ddlj-musical">adaptation</a>, "Come Fall in Love – The DDLJ Musical," features a similar plot. But this time, Simran falls in love not with Raj, but with Roger "Rog" Mandel, a white American man.<div type="image" title="Picture of Shoba Narayan, Broadway actress." height="3000" width="2324" msid="92964515" hostid="261"></div>"Come Fall in Love" will be directed by Aditya Chopra and produced in association with Yash Raj Films, the original film's director and production company. It also features many Indian-American cast and crew. The musical's opening night is set for September 14 in San Diego's The Old Globe theatre.But some members of the South Asian community are pushing back against the adaptation's replacement of its male lead, <a href="https://twitter.com/bhaviklathia/status/1547325923682357251">decrying it</a> as "absolutely and absolutely unacceptable."One Twitter user called the adaptation a "cliche story line of *brown girl grapples with their cultural identity and falls for white guy.*" "So it's a white savior story now?" another Twitter user <a href="https://twitter.com/J4ck_b_quick/status/1548768169124368385">wrote</a>."Why whitewash an Indian story?" a user tweeted. "I hate this so much."Broadway has a long history of casting white actors as characters of color. Musicals like Lin-Manuel Miranda's "In the Heights," "Hairspray," and "Once on This Island" have similarly been criticized of whitewashing.A large part of the problem lies in the lack of <keyword id="11929860" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="diversity" source="Orion">diversity</keyword> among actors, directors, writers, and producers, according to experts. A <a href="http://www.aapacnyc.org/2018-2019.html">2021 report</a> on racial representation on New York City stages found that white actors took almost two-thirds of all available roles during the 2018 to 2019 season. Nearly 94% of producers and directors were white, the study found.

A Broadway adaptation of one of the most popular Bollywood movies of all time will feature a white, American lead. Some fans say it's another example of whitewashing on stage.

<keyword id="103" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="switzerland" source="Orion">Switzerland</keyword> pays tribute to late legendary filmmaker <keyword id="2238" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="yash-chopra" source="Orion">Yash Chopra</keyword>, saluting his contribution of having showcased Switzerland's beauty to Indians through his films. The much-awaited <keyword id="128682" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Netflix" source="Orion">Netflix</keyword> docu-series, 'The Romantics', is a celebration of the legacy of Yash Chopra and its cultural impact on Indians over the past 50 years. It is set to release this Tuesday. Remo Kaser, Director of Sales Jungfrau Railways, Switzerland, said: "The legend, Yash Chopra, has presented the beauty of Switzerland and especially the Jungfrau Region to Indians across the world for generations, through his beautiful, soulful cinema." "Indians, who come to Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe year on year, have always spoken to us about how the romantic films of Yash Chopra have pushed them to visit the Jungfrau Region and Interlaken and make memories for a lifetime." The Swiss authorities will celebrate Yash Chopra's legacy across the country, especially in places where the filmmaker shot mega-hits like Darr and Chandni. His son Aditya Chopra also shot the all-time blockbuster, 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' in Switzerland. Every Indian has been enchanted by Switzerland's snow-capped mountains, lush valleys, and pristine lakes in large part because of Yash Chopra's films. It is said that he visited Switzerland for his honeymoon and was smitten by the country instantly. The Swiss government has continuously honoured the legendary filmmaker through the years. In 2011, Switzerland's Jungfrau Railways inaugurated a train named after him - an honour shared only with the railway's founder, Adolf Guyer. The train featured his signature and name on a signboard. In May 2016, a bronze statue of Yash Chopra was installed by the Switzerland government as a tribute, near the Congress Centre in Interlaken, a popular tourist spot. At the prestigious Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel &amp; Spa, a special deluxe cinema-themed suite is named after Yash Chopra. In 2011, the filmmaker inaugurated the suite. Lake Lauenen, in the Canton of Berne, is referred to as Lake Chopra! The Swiss government honoured Yash Chopra with the title of Ambassador of Interlaken, making him the first recipient of the award. He was also bestowed the Swiss Ambassador's Award. Remo added: "Switzerland and India have a great bond of mutual respect and admiration and Yash Chopra has played a monumental role in solidifying the relationship between our great nations. Switzerland is only too proud to celebrate his legacy here." The Romantics has been directed by Oscar &amp; Emmy-nominated film-maker Smriti Mundhra. Netflix, in this four-part docu-series, will feature 35 leading personalities from the film industry, who have closely worked with YRF through its 50-year glorious existence. Interestingly, the reclusive head of the iconic <keyword id="36603" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="yash-raj-films" source="Orion">Yash Raj Films</keyword>, Aditya Chopra, has also recorded his first on-camera interview for 'The Romantics'.

Switzerland pays tribute to Yash Chopra for presenting its beauty to Indians

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Shah Rukh Khan is one of the biggest stars in Bollywood with a career spanning three decades.</li><li>For Indian women, he's not only a movie star but a symbol of their own autonomy.</li></ul><a href="https://www.insider.com/category/bollywood">Bollywood</a> icon <a href="https://www.insider.com/shah-rukh-khan-ted-talk-2017-5">Shah Rukh Khan has been one of the biggest movie stars</a> in the world for 30 years.Alongside the likes of <a href="https://www.insider.com/nick-jonas-priyanka-chopra-share-first-photo-of-baby-2022-5">Priyanka Chopra Jonas</a> and Amitabh Bachchan, the actor is one of India's most recognizable exports around the world. Khan is beloved across genders and generations in India, but for women in particular he is not just a swoon-worthy movie star, but also an emblem of autonomy over their lives, careers and even romantic desires."Women relied on Shah Rukh when they found the real world and all its pandemics and practicalities inhospitable," writes author Shrayana Bhattacharya in her book, "Desperately Seeking Shah Rukh: India's Lonely Young Women and the Search for Intimacy and Independence."The book examines the desires, dreams and difficulties of a diverse group of women, who are divided by religion, caste, and class, but united by their love for Khan.According to Bhattacharya, in loving and seeking Khan, women are unknowingly indulging in a silent act of rebellion. <h2>Shah Rukh Khan is a unifying force across economic divide</h2><div type="image" title="Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol" height="4010" width="5347" msid="93971249" hostid="261" sizebytes="518724"></div>Bhattacharya noticed the unusual ally that Khan had become for women across economic strata when she was surveying home-based working women in 2006.These women grew bored of the same questions about wages, and so she began asking them about their favourite actors. The love for Khan was palpable amongst them, and it was during this time that she understood that fandom was, in fact, a unique display of economic independence. In a sociological and economic study that spanned over 15 years, Bhattacharya explored the pain and pleasure of Indian women, and how she says Khan eases the former and provides the latter. "It started as an accident, but soon I became conscious of the fact that fandom is a proxy for women's economic power and quality of life," Bhattacharya explains to Insider. "In 'Seeking Shah Rukh,' they weren't only seeking the romantic love that he embodied, but also to simply watch their favourite actor on screen." K Jeshi, a journalist from Tamil Nadu, tells Insider that she loves Khan because "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuLhbLxwSxE">he loves women </a>— the way he speaks to women, both on-screen and off-screen is beautiful."In movies such as "Kal Ho Na Ho" (2003), "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" (1995), and "Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham" (2001), Khan weeps messily, finds himself working in the household, fasts for the woman he loves, and looks at them with awe instead of with lust. The latter is a trait that Devangi Vaishnav, a physiotherapist from Gujarat, finds particularly admirable."He has never maligned a woman's integrity. He has never been derogatory, or lascivious, even in chauvinistic scenes, there's something about his gaze that makes him honourable," Vaishnav says. Off-screen, Khan, too, appears to uphold these values. "I think the sheer regard he holds for women is admirable," says Shaheera Anwar, an entertainment journalist from Pakistan. "He was <a href="https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/bollywood/story/srk-pledges-to-name-actress-before-him-in-credits-155555-2013-03-07#:~:text=Superstar%20Shah%20Rukh%20Khan%20has,starting%20it%20with%20Chennai%20Express.">one of the first people</a> to start putting the name of the actress before his name, which is remarkable."Bhattacharya notes how women tend to put Khan's virtue above everything else and ignore the casual sexism that his films sometimes depict, which is why Khan "may not be a feminist icon, but he is certainly a female icon," she says.Khan, Bhattacharya argues, unites women across caste and class in India by allowing them to pose questions on masculinity, money, network wealth, pleasure, and love.<h2>What women see in Shah Rukh Khan: vulnerability and respect</h2><div type="image" title="Shah Rukh Khan with fans." height="2092" width="2789" msid="93971251" hostid="261" sizebytes="126912"></div>"There's a certain working-class quality to him that has stayed back, even after all the success and fame," Aseem Chhabra, an author and film academic, says of Khan's appeal. "He retains the values that he gained from his parents. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRHeRJRo5vo">He talks about the death of his parents</a> with such profound vulnerability, in a space where being forthcoming is a rare sight, and that in return allows his audience to know and love him."Prachi Verma, a civil rights lawyer from Jaipur, says: "Women in India have to deal with plenty, be it pay disparity, domestic violence, sexual assault, lack of education, and more, so when they say they want a man like Shah Rukh, they are actually just asking for dignity in both love and labour."Zara Chowdhary, a teacher at the University of Wisconsin, was a post-production supervisor and assistant director at Red Chillies, Khan's production company, when she was given three times her salary as a bonus after the success of "Om Shanti Om.""He treats the crew on his sets with so much love and respect, that it's inspiring. He is willing to give love, to get love, which makes him who he is," Chowdhary says.Gunjan S, from Chandigarh, who runs a social-media marketing firm, adds: "He made me a dreamer, be it about success or love. South Asian women as it is, have quite a regressive upbringing, and in such space, Shah Rukh gave me an escape."<h2>How Shah Rukh Khan reflects women seeking their own agency</h2><div type="image" title="Shah Rukh Khan on the red carpet." height="1975" width="2633" msid="93971254" hostid="261" sizebytes="152282"></div>It's not all romance for these women: "The daughters don't want to marry Khan, they want to be him — they want his success, fame, and autonomy," says Bhattacharya, adding that every fan of Khan conjures up their own image of him that resembles their lives."In talking about Shah Rukh, these women were actually talking about themselves — their lives, their troubles, their aspirations, and their desire for financial and emotional autonomy," Bhattacharya continues.Khan, then, is a lexicon for women to express their own wants and needs — and Bhattacharya's book isn't so much about Khan as it is a manifesto, of sorts, for women in India tapping into their own star power.As for Khan, Bhattacharya says: "How many icons can claim to be a research method? Especially if it is about womanhood. How many men can become a language of expressing aspiration for millions of women?"
