Exclusive - Simaran Kaur reveals her love for dance on International Dance Day; says 'It has taught me discipline, surrender, grace, and most importantly, to be fully present'
International Dance Day
, observed on 29th April, celebrates the stories that dance tells without a single word. More than just an art form, dance is emotion in motion—a powerful expression of culture, spirit, and connection.
From classical performances to carefree twirls around a room, dance has the power to uplift, inspire, and heal. It builds relationships and forges bonds through shared rhythm. Marking this day,
Simaran Kaur
from
Jamai No. 1
honours the beauty of this universal language and shares cherished memories of how dance has touched her life.
Simaran Kaur, who essays the role of Riddhi in Jamai No. 1 said, 'For me, dance isn't just an art form, it's where I find my truest self.
Since childhood, I've felt most alive when I'm dancing—whether on stage, in class, or barefoot in my bedroom with music turned all the way up. One of my most cherished memories is performing in front of my parents every weekend. It became a little tradition at home, I would pick a new song, rehearse all week, and then put on a show just for them.
Their smiles and their encouragement felt like they were gently nudging me toward my dreams.

As I've grown, so has my relationship with dance. Today, I still seek out workshops, explore new styles, and constantly challenge myself to keep learning. Dance has taught me discipline, surrender, grace, and most importantly, to be fully present. You can't fake it. You have to feel every beat, every breath. So, this International Dance Day, I'm celebrating not just the performances, but the quiet, beautiful moments dance brings into our lives.'

Irshad Ali on Fahadh Faasil's 'running' style in the films, read the details below
An intriguing insight regarding Fahadh Faasil 's acting during his running scenes in movies was put forward by actor Irshad Ali . As a pan-Indian star, Fahadh is already advancing in his career, according to the actor who was last featured in the Mohanlal film "Thudarum." The actor took to social media and gave his detailed analysis of his co-stars runs, according to the reports in On Manorama. The lengthy message highlights the bond that the two co-stars share. Irshad Ali penned this message: "It is quite interesting to watch the scenes in which Fahadh Faasil runs. Aymanam Sidharthan in 'Oru Indian Pranayakadha' presses one hand on his chest while sprinting fast. He holds on to something important in his pocket while running. Meanwhile, in 'Njan Prakashan,' he runs by flipping the hands back and forth as if his life depended on it. The selfishness of that character could be clearly noted in the way he runs in that scene. Harikrishnan who is obsessed with cleanliness in 'North 24 Kaatham' holds his bag close to his chest while rotating his other hand. In 'Iyyobinte Pusthakam,' Aloshi refuses to give up and pursues his enemies bearing guns on both his hands. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brass Krishna Idols For Prosperity & Protection In Life Luxeartisanship Shop Now Undo Every run is unique although it is the same person who runs in these scenes. We had run together in a scene in 'Mariyam Mukku' and I still remember it as if it had happened just yesterday. I can still hear how we panted after we had shot the scene. The love and support that you shower whenever we meet is enough to fill me with renewed energy. His path had not just been of success and achievements. Those paths also had stories of failures, struggle, and redemption. As I write this note, I remember that the title of his next movie is Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira. My dear 'runner', I hope you continue running, with more strength and resilience. RUN FAFA RUN!," wrote Irshad. Irshad Ali is well known Indian actor working predominantly in the Malayalam entertainment industry. He was last seen in movies like, Jananam 1947 Pranayam Thudarunnu and Raastha.

‘Motorheads' series review: A flashy ride with unfinished roads
In Ironwood, there are two types of people: those who hit the brakes, and those who hit the gas. That's the ethos at the heart of John A Norris' Motorheads on Prime Video. A teen drama set against the backdrop of a dying town and illegal street racing scene, it sounds like something we have seen before, and to some extent, it is. But there are moments, visually and thematically, where the show edges towards new territories. Norris, best known for his work on All American (2018), swaps football fields for back-alley racetracks, but his usual focus on teenage identity and legacy is still prevalent. The cast, made up of lesser-known faces, does a commendable job with their respective characters. Ryan and Deacon Phillippe bring an earnestness that helps ground the sometimes chaotic narrative. Motorheads (English) Creator: John A. Norris Cast: Ryan Phillipe, Deacon Phillipe, Michael Cimino, Melissa Collazo, Uriah Shelton & Others Episodes: 10 Runtime: 50-55 minutes Storyline: As their town crumbles, a group of teenagers dive into street racing, where high stakes and personal conflicts go full throttle Set in a crumbling suburban town in Pennsylvania, the series follows twins Caitlyn (Melissa Collazo) and Zac Torres (Michael Cimino) who move to Ironwood – a town their parents grew up in. While Caitlyn starts restoring their father's old Dodge Charger, Zac gets roped into the street racing scene that once defined his father's legacy. Just like their father and uncle, the twins seem to carry different pieces of the past: Caitlyn with a sharp instinct for building and mechanics, like her uncle, and Zac stepping into his father's shoes behind the wheel. The subplot of rebuilding the Dodge Charger works well as a metaphor. It mirrors their desire to rebuild a life in a new town, a fractured family and a connection to the past that lingers on in Ironwoods' streets. The show leans into visual duality: parallels between generations, choices made then and now, and between two siblings charting different courses through the same inherited world. In this sense, the cinematic structure is one of the biggest strengths. The sequences and flashbacks are vividly cut and some of the racing visuals – especially the bank heist car rollout – are striking and well-paced. Where Motorheads falters though is in its lack of depth. For all the talk of a 'dying town', there is minimal narrative weight given to its decline or even a comparison factor to emphasise on the fact that it was dying. The town is treated more like a dramatic canvas than a lived-in world. The street racing culture, while glamorised, isn't explored very deeply. There is thrill, yes, but very little sense of community, danger or real subcultural grit. Caitlyn's almost magical ability to outperform seasoned mechanics feels like a narrative shortcut more than a believable character arc. The most jarring plotline may be the sheriff's: an ex-con posing as a lawman 'attempting' to turn his life around while enabling his son's criminal activities. The presence of corruption isn't as jarring, but the lack of interrogation around it is, creating a vague ethical tension. With motorsport slowly revving back into public attention in India due to racing ventures being explored and popular actors like Ajith Kumar returning to racing, shows like Motorheads may find a growing audience. It's not groundbreaking television, but it offers just enough momentum to keep viewers buckled in for the ride. Motorheads is streaming on Prime Video
