As Shabana Azmi turned 70 barely four months ago on September 18, 2020, she saw her glorious 45-plus year long career bookended by roles as diverse as they can get.
Her first film, the 1974 classic by Shyam Benegal had her play Lakshmi, a village woman trapped in India’s oppressive caste-ridden society compounded by chronic poverty. Her latest project is as far from that stifling milieu as it can ever get. She plays Admiral Margaret Orlenda Parangosky in the live action science fiction series HALO based on the video game franchise being executive produced by Steven Spielberg.

Ranchi: The Jharkhand high court on Friday ordered the state transport department to come out with a scheme for allowing or disallowing name plates to be used in private vehicles. The matter had surfaced during the hearing of a public interest litigation filed by one Gazala Tanvir highlighting the flagrant use of name plates in private vehicles in the state.
A division bench of Chief Justice Dr Ravi Ranjan and Justice Sujit Narayan Prasad while hearing the petition pulled up the state transport department for not being able to check the malpractice. The transport secretary appearing online admitted that there was no guideline on the usage of name plates in private vehicles till date.
