Kriti Sanon and Kiara Advani
Yesterday we reported that Kiara Advani has walked out of Don 3 after announcing her pregnancy (Don 3 loses its leading lady, March 6).

Renuka Shahane
After Jyotika, Renuka Shahane has spoken out about ageism against women in the entertainment industry and how the “ageist” society doesn’t give female actors the kind of work they deserve.

She feels that the several memes about her on social media, especially the infamous staircase scene from Hum Aapke Hain Koun (1994), help her with visibility among the new generation. She feels that such memes keep her relevant. “These things keep you alive in conversations, otherwise you don’t get the attention your talent deserves,” she explained.
