‘Thala’ Ajith is a man of varied interests. Apart from films, the actor has surprised a lot of people with his knowledge in engineering when he guided a team from IIT Madras to build a drone. He is a former racing champion too and competed in several international tournaments; however, a spate of injuries forced him to give up his racing career.

Of late, the actor has been spotted practising rifle shooting, which is one of his passions. Incidentally, the actor took part in 46th Tamil Nadu Statewide Shooting Championship, which was held in the first week of March. The actor has won the gold medal in the competition, much to the delight of his fans and admirers.

On the work front, the actor will next be seen in Valimai. Directed by Siva, the film also has Huma Qureshi in a lead role, along with Karthikeya.

Aashritha Daggubati, elder daughter of Venkatesh, has taken social media by storm. A self taught baker and travel enthusiast, she currently lives in Barcelona along with her husband, Vinayak Reddy. The couple had gotten married in 2019 in Hyderabad before they moved to Spain where Vinayak found a job.

Being a foodie and a travel enthusiast, Aashritha had been posting numerous posts on Instagram about all the places she had been visiting in Europe for the past few months. Now, she has launched her own Youtube channel – Infinity Platter – where she is going to document her experiences related to food, exotic places, among other things.

Not surprisingly, quite a few celebrities from Tollywood including Tamannaah, Rakul Preet, and Aashritha’s own family members have come out in support of her. Incidentally, this is the first time that people from the film fraternity have been promoting Aashritha’s work. Venkatesh himself has always kept his family life quite private and ensured that his kids are far away from public eye. It’ll be interesting to see what his daughter, Aashritha is going to do through her Youtube channel in near future.

Remuneration of artistes is one of the most talked about topics in the industry. Every time a film turns out to be a hit, the respective actors and directors are in news for increasing their remuneration for their next film, and producers too are willing to pay big bucks. But at the same time, there’s no denying that there’s a big wage gap when it comes to top actors and actresses.

In a recent interview to a leading film channel, Samantha spoke out about the wage gap in the industry and her comments on how the industry treats artistes have caught everyone’s attention. “Even if you are one of the top 3 heroines, your pay is much lesser compared to that of a hero who is not even in top 20. If a heroine asked for a pay hike, she is looked at as being problematic. But if a hero asks for a pay hike, he’s seen as being cool,” Samantha confessed.

The round table interview, which also features Taapsee and Anjali Menon, will be aired on March 8 on the occasion of Women’s Day, and the topic of discussion was representation of women in the film industry.
