Bollywood actor Asif Basra found dead in Dharamshala

By Justin Rao Mumbai, May 17 () Actor Gul Panag says the coronavirus pandemic has laid bare the "inconvenient truth" of the socioeconomic divide in our society and her latest project "Paatal Lok" drives home the very point.The neo-noir series, also starring Jaideep Ahlawat and Neeraj Kabi, takes a deep dive into the hinterland India in the form of an investigative thriller, while talking about crime, politics, caste, and class divide. Gul said the Amazon Prime Video Original series isn't an "empty entertainer"."It'll leave you with a lot to think about things which otherwise you wouldn't think about... With the migrant crisis that has come out post COVID-19, the inconvenient truth that we would barely talk about or refer to... It's exactly the kind of truth that 'Paatal Lok' has brought home to all of us," the actor told in an interview."The timing couldn't have been more apt. There's a layering of society we see on the show and there's a layering of society that the COVID crisis has revealed," she added.Gul hopes people who watch the web series amid the lockdown take away "greater empathy" in the current times."'Paatal Lok' reveals a deep dark side of our society, one which is simmering with a lot of stress and conflict beneath its surface. I hope in the light of what the lockdown has also revealed about our society, people walk away with a sense of greater empathy."(I hope) they walk away with compassion for those who aren't like us. They could be better off than us or worse off, but we must have empathy."Written and created by Sudip Sharma, "Paatal Lok" follows a washed-out Inspector Hathiram Chaudhary, played by Jaideep, who lands the case of a lifetime when four suspects are nabbed in the assassination attempt of a prime time journalist (Neeraj).Gul, who plays a middle class housewife Renu to Hathiram on the show, said the first thing that attracted her to the series was its "superlative writing"."The writers had layered the narrative with so much with the socioeconomic divide that exists across our society. It's a difficult thing to do, to manage so many layers and not diverge from the narrative that they were setting in."Calling Renu the "only bright spot" in the entire series, "The Family Man" actor said her character is the only person who is trying to make the most of her situation."Up until the case falls into her husband's lap, his career wasn't going anywhere and she had made peace with that as well. "Even though their son is unhappy because they've put him in a school which is socially out of their league, the husband is frustrated, but in all of this she decides to take them under her wing so that they remain as happy as possible," she added. Gul is happy that the show, which began streaming on May 15, is already amassing acclaim. "It's gratifying to know that something you're a part of is being appreciated by the people. It's a gritty show and a brave attempt to be able to tell so many different stories in one section. The fact that the attempt has paid off is very rewarding."Produced by actor Anushka Sharma's Clean Slate Films, "Paatal Lok" also features Swastika Mukherjee and Abhishek Banerjee. JUR RDS SHDSHD

The film communicates a powerful message, that even though we have come a long way in recognizing the LGBTQ+ (Pride) community, this does not necessarily equate to true acceptance, we still need to work on it and ensure that we can welcome one of our own if they belong to the group. The film urges us to rethink what it means to truly welcome and become an ally to the LGBTQ community. <div type="Youtube" id="63JMPlbJl70" title="ACKO celebrates Pride Month" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/63JMPlbJl70/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Starring popular film &amp; theatre actor, Neeraj Kabi, who has won acclaim for his roles in the web series Sacred Games and Paatal Lok, the film opens with four friends at a get together. As one of the friends, Rakesh Kapoor (RK), proudly shows that he has changed his profile cover picture on social media to the Pride colours in support of the community, the other friends pat him on the back, assuming that RK has now learned of his son’s sexual identity. The accidental reveal leaves RK speechless as he tries to reconcile with his own conflicting actions and emotions. The film is based on the Pride Research conducted by ACKO and YouGov in June 2021, which found that only 2 out of every 5 Indian parents said that they would be supportive if their child was part of the LGBTQ+ community. The campaign highlights this important point - “Post pride, Support pride, but more importantly, be ready to accept Pride.” This campaign is a reflection of ACKO’s ongoing effort to create a workplace that reflects its core values of embracing and supporting true diversity. The company is among the early and a handful of startups that extends a group medical insurance cover to include the partners of LGBTQ+ employees. ACKO prioritizes training and education programs to sensitize and raise awareness about the LGBTQ+ community and to ensure ongoing support of LGBTQ+ staff in the company. Talking about the campaign, <keyword id="486140" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ashish-Mishra">Ashish Mishra</keyword>, Executive Vice President- Marketing, ACKO General Insurance, said, “From denial to recognition, Indian society has come a long way in terms of their attitude towards the LGBTQ+ (PRIDE) community. However, there is still a huge amount of work to be done to make sure that people are willing to accept, if one of their own is part of this community. #TalkPride Campaign is our way to progress on this front”. This campaign has been conceptualized by Leo Burnett Orchard. “We are so used to sharing our support for the LGBTQ+ community on social media. But we never take a moment to stop and think how open we will be to having someone in the family who identifies as the same. I think it is time for the country as a whole to take a step towards accepting that love is love, no matter how you choose to express it.’ added Pravin Sutar, Head of Creative, Leo Burnett Orchard.
