Indian actress Huma Qureshi claims her new political web series ‘Maharani’ in which she plays woman who reluctantly becomes the leader of an Indian state after when her chief minister husband gets shot isn’t based on real-life figure and former Bihar chief minister Rabri Devi.
Political folklore has it that Devi was installed by her husband, Laloo Prasad Yadav, as his successor after he became embroiled in the notorious ‘fodder scam’, so that he could allegedly retain power through her as a figure head. Huma Qureshi in Maharani Image Credit: SonyLiv
“‘Maharani’ is not based on anybody living or dead. It’s a completely fictional character set in a fictional period in Bihar. Of course, I can understand why a lot of people may find some commonalities since both of us are chief ministers from a particular state. But it’s really not based on anyone,” said Qureshi over a Zoom call with Gulf News.
Indian National Award-winning actor Manoj Bajpayee, who launched the trailer of ‘The Family Man’s second season on May 19, is facing resistance and backlash on Twitter when a section of the media users claimed it depicted the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu in a bad light. They have denounced the series as ‘anti-Tamil’.
In the trailer we see Srikant Tiwari (Bajpayee) up against the ‘new face of danger’, a fictional extremist leader played by Samantha Akkineni. Hashtags such as #ShameOnYouSamantha and #FamilyMan2 against Tamils began trending on Twitter following its launch. Upon seeing the trailer, many have also sought an apology from the series directors Raj and DK.
