What's cookin' with Divyanka Tripathi

How different is it from working in a TV show?Divyanka: It's a refreshing change. The characterisation, the graph and everything changes according to the medium. I'm loving it as I feel like a child who is exploring a new toy store... there's so much to see and so much to do! Are you a good cook or did you learn cooking to play the role of a chef?Honestly, I only knew basic cooking before the show. In the last few years I didn't get much opportunity or motivation to do some extensive cooking but post Coldd Lassi aur Chicken Masala, I have started enjoying cooking more.How was Rajeev Khandelwal as a co-star?Acting is at its best reacting. Working with Rajeev has been a pleasure as he truly is any co-actor's delight. He is a thorough professional. We haven't worked together before but of course it's a small world and everyone knows each other and has seen each other's journey in this industry.Did you interact with chefs to understand your character better?I have had a few workshops to learn the nuances of cooking to step into the character. I'm a vegetarian and my first class required me to cook chicken. I never knew cutting vegetables needs such precision and practice! I grabbed most of the mannerisms from watching real chefs working in the kitchen.Being a vegetarian, how difficult was it to handle raw fish in the kitchen?I had to not only handle raw fish during the shoot but I also started to learn cutting and chopping chicken. It was not easy even to look at those raw pieces but I just softly reminded myself that I'm an actor and went ahead with it.What excited you about doing a web show?In this medium, I am getting to work with a set of people with a very different approach towards shooting. There's so much to study and satisfy my hungry 'actor soul'!Are you a fan of binging on web shows?Definitely! On a day off I love binge-watching a good web series. How was it being directed by Pradeep Sarkar?Pradeep Sarkar is a passionate director with an extraordinary vision. There was so much to learn from dada.Does your husband (actor Vivek Dahiya) watch your work and give you feedback?Yes, we both are equally involved and do discuss work as that's a big pro when you belong to the same industry.Any plans of doing a Hindi film?I would love to but it depends on the story, character, makers and the entire package. It's not the medium that decides the work but rather how exciting is the project for me as an actor.

Vaani Kapoor on her best holidays, travel buddies and more

It always feels good when your fans love your work. It motivates an artiste to perform better. It was a treat to work with the two superstars. Both are equally amazing and have their own unique styles of working. I enjoyed working with them and also learned from them. Oh yes. It has enhanced my sense of seeing new places. I live travelling. Me, myself. I mean I love travelling alone... basically I love me time! All my trips are good, but recently I went to Goa and I loved it. Like I mentioned, I love to travel. All my trips so far have been good. And even if it is bad, I make my trip good and memorable. Food. I love exploring new places, their local food and their fashion. Not really. For now, probably I will be travelling for work only. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

This special relationship that man shares with animals

Root cause This special relationship that man shares with animals and soil is what sustains us. I try to convey that in my art," says the 29-year-old. A graduate from the College of Fine Arts, Thrissur, Suneesh's creations have won many accolades over the years, including a Lalitha Kala Akademi award in 2018. His work has been featured in multiple destinations across the country and abroad, including Ras al Khaimah. Ways of the world Coming from a family of carpenters, Suneesh's craft of depicting complicated contexts through detailed lines is the highlight of his art. Having done his post-graduation from Santhinikethan in West Bengal, he also got familiar with the farming population that lives very close to the forest there. "I would spend a lot of time talking to them, sketching and learning their lives. Baul music influenced me around the time, and clusters of singers became a big part of the drawings I made," he adds. He likes to call his work a visual diary-one that comprises randomised elements which gradually shape up in to a whole frame. "I don't believe in making complicated art. My viewers may be city-dwellers, but I want them to see and appreciate farmers who make the grains they eat," he adds. Suneesh has managed to fit eco-systems into each piece that only reveal themselves when you observe closely-humans surrounded by trees, lakes, and even monkeys stealing the produce. He has created a woodcut of one such frame that took him almost a year and a half to finish. Other artworks are done with oil and charcoal on canvas. At Pachamama Art Café, Aluva.Till October 22.

Syria operation will be 'proportionate, responsible': Turkey tells UN

Turkey says the Kurdish YPG, the main component of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, is a terrorist group linked to Kurdish insurgents that have fought in Turkey for years. The UN Security Council will meet on Thursday to discuss the situation in Syria at the request of the body's five European members, Britain, France, Germany, Belgium and Poland. Kurdish militia are making overtures toward Damascus and Moscow as Turkish jets pound their territory in Syria and the US withdraws. It marks a new chapter in the wars tangle of alliances. "As has been the case in its previous counter-terrorism operations, Turkey's response will be proportionate, measured and responsible," Turkey's UN Ambassador Feridun Sinirlioglu wrote in a letter to the council seen by Reuters. "The operation will only target terrorists and their hideouts, shelters, emplacements, weapons vehicles and equipment," he wrote. "All precautions are taken to avoid collateral damage to the civilian population." Turkey justified its action under Article 51 of the UN Charter, which covers an individual or collective right to self-defense against armed attack. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is "very concerned" by developments in northeast Syria and "any military operation must fully respect the UN Charter and international humanitarian law," UN spokesman Farhan Haq said. Guterres called for the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure and Haq said Guterres "believes that there's no military solution to the Syrian conflict."

Age fraud returns to haunt Cricket Association of Bengal

But there was further embarrassment as Ajharuddin too was marked disqualified by the BCCI and told to return home on Tuesday.Bengal will now have to do with only 14 players. They begin their Vinoo Mankad Trophy campaign on Friday against Punjab in Surat.Apart from the trio who were disqualified, Harshwardhan Singh and Shekhar Singh Chauhan, who were both in the probables' list, have been handed a two-year suspension by the Board.These players too, it was learnt, had produced fake birth certificates.According to sources, the CAB is contemplating pulling up its junior selection committee chairman Madan Ghosh for "not doing enough homework on the players and their whereabouts.""The CAB will deal with the matter very seriously. Age fraud is a big crime in sports and especially in cricket, and no one would be spared if caught doing any mischief."We would also approach the government to work out a mechanism through which we can verify the authenticity of the documents provided by the cricketers so that in future such incidents may be curbed," CAB secretary Avishek Dalmiya told The Telegraph.The incident came to light on a day when the BCCI announced it would strengthen its stand on zero-tolerance for age fraud in cricket. "In an effort to strengthen its stand on zero-tolerance for age fraud in cricket, BCCI has provided helpline numbers to all cricketers, team support staff and administrators of all state cricket associations."

I was keen to compete in Ranchi: Neeraj Chopra

But following a late-evening meeting between chief coach Bahadur Singh, deputy chief coach Radhakrishnan Nair and high-performance director from Germany Volker Herrmann took a decision that Chopra should not compete at this moment. Chopra is currently undergoing training in Patiala. The 21-year-old Army man, whose personal best of 88.06 metres at the Jakarta Asian Games is a national record, wanted to 'test himself' after a long layoff in a low-key event. AFI president Adille Sumariwalla says the 'collective decision of the coaches taken on Wednesday evening at Patiala was crucial'. 'We can't take a risk at this juncture as the probability of Chopra pushing himself too hard even in a low-key event is high. It could delay his recovery,' he said. Chopra had started his rehabilitation at the Inspire Institute of Sports in Vijayanagar (Karnataka) but shifted to Patiala in August to commence serious training. This is the second time in two years the AFI and Chopra are not on the same page vis-a-vis his training and competition schedule. In November 2017, much against the wishes of the AFI, Chopra initially refused to train under German expert Uwe Hohn in Patiala and shifted base to Offenburg, Germany to train with Werner Daniels, who had guided Christina Obergfoll to victory at the 2013 World Championships. However, before the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, the AFI persuaded Chopra to change his mind. 'I was keen to compete in Ranchi. I was doing well in training. But the AFI didn't give me the nod as they think I'm not fit yet. I missed the World Championships (in Doha) and skipping the domestic event will not make much difference,' said Chopra from Patiala. Deputy chief coach Nair says the future roadmap for Chopra will be chalked out in November as chief coach (Uwe Hohn) is on a vacation. 'There could be some changes in Chopra's training plan,' he said. Chopra needs to achieve the Olympic qualification mark of 85 metres before the June 29 deadline set by the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF). The Olympic qualification cycle started on May 1 this year. Chopra says javelin is a very tricky event. 'It all depends on how your body reacts on a given day. I'm eager to perform at the highest level next year, which will ensure good preparation before the Olympics.'
