Varun Dhawan
  • Varun Dhawan shared some important advice with outsiders.
  • He shared how newcomers can impress directors and producers.
  • Dhawan emphasized the importance of visibility in today’s digital age.

Varun Dhawan, one of Bollywood’s top actors, recently shared some important advice with outsiders aspiring to make their mark in the film industry.

Varun appeared in an episode of Pinkvilla Masterclass and shared his two cents on how newcomers can impress directors and producers in Bollywood.

Dhawan emphasized the importance of visibility in today’s digital age. “Jo dikhta hai vo bikta hai (What is visible, does sell),” he remarked, encouraging aspiring actors to embrace social media.

“I believe you need to get yourself out there today for sure. It’s very difficult to stay behind the scenes and expect someone to notice you and bet on you,” Dhawan said. He added, “You have to get yourself at least a little bit out there.”

Citing a conversation with a close friend who hesitated to join social media despite a strong portfolio of ad work, Dhawan advised, “You’ve got to put it out so that if a director sees it, he’ll see a little bit of your work; he’ll take you.”

On the work front, Dhawan’s next film, Baby John, directed by Kalees, is set to release on December 25, 2024.

Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck struggle to finalize divorce amid tensions

Jennifer Lopez
  • Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce proceedings are on hold.
  • Unresolved financial and co-parenting issues have escalated tensions.
  • Lopez reportedly believes Affleck is unwilling to meet her demands.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce proceedings remain contentious six months after Lopez filed on their second wedding anniversary. Despite public declarations to split amicably, unresolved financial and co-parenting issues have escalated tensions.

According to a source quoted by In Touch, the situation has grown “increasingly tense and argumentative.” Lopez reportedly feels “sidelined and frustrated,” believing Affleck is unwilling to meet her demands. Conversely, Affleck feels he has been fair, accusing Lopez of “deliberately prolonging the process.”

The division of assets remains a sticking point, as Lopez’s $400 million net worth far exceeds Affleck’s $150 million, and the couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement. “She’s worth more than twice as much as him, so it’s especially hard for him not to see this as her being vindictive and greedy,” the source added.

Adding to the strain, Affleck has been spending more time with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, which Lopez reportedly views as avoidance. Despite the conflict, both parties have prioritized their blended family of five children. A source told Page Six, “They remain close with each other’s children” and continue attending family events together.

As the couple works through their differences, their commitment to maintaining family unity provides a glimmer of hope for a smoother resolution.
