Actress Saiee Manjrekar who debuted in Bollywood, alongside superstar Salman Khan in ‘Dabangg 3’, went on to act in two Tollywood projects, ‘Ghani’, and pan-India movie ‘Major’. Now, Saiee is back in Tollywood, for her third Tollywood project, ‘Agent’ starring Akkineni scion Akhil.

“It’s a very exciting project and it happened kind of suddenly because we heard the narration on I think February 15 and we were shooting by the 18th. That’s how exciting the story was and the cast is amazing, such experienced artistes in it, and it’s so exciting to be back in Hyderabad and shooting out and about again so I’m very excited to see how this pans out,” Saiee said.

The young actress feels that too much is being read into the apparent fascination for Bollywood imports in Tollywood and other South film industries. Both, glamour and talent matter in the film industry, she opined.

“I think it’s a mix of both. There’s so many pretty faces I’ve seen myself while shooting in the south, so I’d like to believe it’s something to do with probably what the role and the character demands and who can fit it seamlessly,” she elaborated.

Saiee, who was barely 17 years old when she debuted in 2019 with ‘Dabangg 3’, looks back fondly on working with Salman Khan.

“It was a surreal experience, daunting at first because I didn’t know what to expect but as soon as I got to set in my first day I knew it was going to be an experience of a lifetime to watch Salman sir work and work with him. It was a treat and I couldn’t have asked for anything better,” she recalls.

Coming from a film family, Saiee who is noted director and actor Mahesh Manjrekar’s daughter, responds to the ‘nepokids’ question with maturity that belies her age.

“I genuinely believe that coming from a background of having the privilege of getting a break so young and so fast will always be something that I feel grateful for.

“I will never take that for granted and know that someone has worked years to probably get that break, which is why I strive to work hard and honestly and do my best to prove myself deserving of that, rest is up to the audiences,” she signs off.

Unfazed about just three or four projects in her kitty ever since her high-profile debut, Saiee is confident that her best is yet to come.

“My debut film came out on December 2019 when I was all of 17 years old. At that point, I wanted to pursue acting as a full-time career but had to give some attention to my studies too. By February when I decided to take a step back from studying and give all my time and energy into acting, Covid happened and suddenly two years of my life and all of our lives were just gone,” she said.

“The movies that I have done after that, I am extremely proud of and all the work I am currently doing keeps me very content so I don’t think it went wrong anywhere if anything I think it’s going very right for me. I’m 21 now and my world seems like a blank canvas with a few colours and I have so much to do now,” the actress concluded.

A week’s guest: Manasvi Mamgai evicted from ‘Bigg Boss 17’

Mumbai: Former beauty queen Manasvi Mamgai was shown the exit door during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode on Saturday.

Just a week after her entry on Salman Khan’s show, Manasvi was evicted by getting less votes.

She entered last week as a wildcard alongside Samarth Jurel.

This week, maximum votes for nominations went to Samarth Jurel, Isha Malviya, Arun Srikanth Mashettey, Sana Raees Khan.

Manasvi was named by the ‘Dimaag’ house in the show. After her nomination, Manasvi tried her bit to be seen in the show by getting into a fight with Anurag, whom she called a traitor.

They also locked horns after the YouTuber said that she is not from Uttarakhand and keeps repeating it for votes. Manasvi also got into trouble with Bigg Boss during the ration task, when she went to change her clothes ahead of the task without listening to the full instructions.

She was also called out for disrupting the shooting as she wrote ‘Anurag is a traitor’ on mirrors, which have cameras recording the contestants 24×7.

Britney Spears gets in holiday mood, wears red cutout dress

Los Angeles: Pop icon Britney Spears has shared a post on Instagram, in which she posed in a red floor-length one-shoulder gown and celebrated some end-of-the-year festivities.

“Merry Halloween Christmas New Years Thanksgiving (sic)”, Spears — who released her memoir, ‘The Woman in Me’, last month — wrote in her caption, reports People magazine.

In the clip, the ‘Circus’ singer smiled and twirled around her home’s living area, where a lit-up Christmas tree could be seen behind her.

Spears’ latest video was shared after her memoir sold 1.1 million copies in its first week of sales. According to Gallery Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, the total sums up pre-orders, ebooks, print books and audiobooks formats.

As per People, the audiobook version of the memoir, in which Spears voices the introduction and actress Michelle Williams narrates the rest of the book, is the fastest-selling audiobook in the publisher’s history, Gallery Books added.

“I poured my heart and soul into my memoir, and I am grateful to my fans and readers around the world for their unwavering support,” Spears said in a news release earlier this week. A fourth printing of Spear’s memoir is now in the works following the high demand for the book in the U.S. and internationally, according to Gallery Books.

In her memoir, Spears details the trials she faced in her career and in her conservatorship. She also opens up about motherhood and her past relationships, most notably with ex Justin Timberlake.

She spoke to People about why it was important for her to share her story ahead of the memoir’s release.

“Over the past 15 years or even at the start of my career, I sat back while people spoke about me and told my story for me,” she said last month. “After getting out of my conservatorship, I was finally free to tell my story without consequences from the people in charge of my life.”

She added: “It is finally time for me to raise my voice and speak out, and my fans deserve to hear it directly from me. No more conspiracy, no more lies — just me owning my past, present and future.”
