Covid killed her London plans. For now. Rachel White does not know how long this for now will extend. Being at home could be very demotivating as our usual routine has gone for a toss. That could take a toll. I was about to go to London for six months for training, but that got cancelled, which did upset me. But if you look at what others are dealing with, then your problems look trivial. If one can be at home and help others, then that is what we should be doing, says Mumbai actress Rachel White.

New Delhi: Continuing his rant against BJP’s defeat in the West Bengal Assembly election, BJP leader and former Tripura and Meghalaya governor Tathagata Roy has once again blamed the senior party leadership of the state for the poll debacle, and also slammed them for “dragging the names of Prime Minister and Home Minister through mud”.
In a series of tweets posted Thursday, Roy named BJP National General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya, Bengal BJP Chief Dilip Ghosh, National Joint General Secretary Shiv Prakash, and Co-incharge of West Bengal Arvind Menon and said these four have “heaped the worst possible insults on ideologically driven BJP workers and devout RSS workers”.
In the Bengali versions of his tweets, Roy used "nogoreer notira" for the women candidates, which refers literally to "actresses of the city" and carries misogynistic connotations.

New Delhi, May 4 : Former Governor of Meghalaya and Tripura and senior West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Tathagata Roy on Tuesday trained guns at party National General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya and state unit Chief Dilip Ghosh for giving tickets to film and TV actors who never had anything to do with politics.
In a series of tweets, Roy questioned Vijayvargiya and Ghosh what great qualities these women possessed for which they were given tickets. Film and TV actors who never had anything to do with politics, let alone BJP, were handed tickets by BJP s election management team Parno Mitra (Baranagar), Srabanti Chatterjee (Behala West), Payel Sarkar (Behala East), Roy tweeted.
