Mumbai: Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan spoke about a dancing style he wishes to learn and said that it is “partner work” he is terrible at.
Hrithik said: “I’ve been terrible in partner work. I feel relaxed when it’s just me, but when it’s partner work, there is a certain synchronising and coordinating, there’s beauty in that. I have never been able to achieve that. I am very fascinated with Ballet. Just the long lines, the expanse and flight of it.”
“I had the opportunity in Guzaarish to train in the dance form and it was an incredible experience. It was like a ball and I was holding the ball and swirling. During the take, I was not able to get three turns – you know, the pirouettes. Finally, after two hours, we had lunch, and then we tried again. In a single take, somehow it happened.”
Hrithik also revealed to IMDb that some of the signature dance steps he enjoyed throughout his career are The Bang Bang title track, Ghungroo from War and It’s Magic from Koia Mil Gaya.
Speaking about his way of working, Hrithik said: “It’s always about the process. I have a favourite process. Anybody who fits in the process, we create amazing things! The process is working with no egos, absolute communication, no feeling bad. And if you’re feeling bad, express it. Be honest and work hard. Give me time to work hard.”
“If you tell someone, I want one month to rehearse, and if it’s coming from me, they will think I’m joking. Prabhu Deva, Farhan in Main Aisa Kyon Hoon (Lakshya), they gave me a month. Mr Bhansali once gave me two months. Once you have time and you have will, you just have to work hard.”
On the work front, the actor will next be seen in ‘Fighter’ along with Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor.

Fans became elated to see the reunion of the “Partners.”
“How time flies! Their performance made me super nostalgic,” a social media user commented.
“We want Partner 2,” another user wrote.
The 68th Filmfare Awards was hosted by Salman along with Maniesh Paul and Ayushmann Khurrana. The event saw many amazing performances by Janhvi Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal and Jacqueline Fernandez besides Govinda.
Speaking of the winners, Alia Bhatt triumphed at the award by winning Best Actress for her role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Gangubai Kathiwadi’. The film was also adjudged “Best Film” at this year’s awards show.
The award for Best Director went to Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who helmed the film.
An Indigenous mother whose son was kidnapped, tortured and murdered by her former partner says her baby could still be alive if police had done their job properly and believes officers failed her family in “every way”.
In testimony on Thursday, Tamica Mullaley says she described how she was left bleeding after being attacked by her abusive partner Mervyn Bell in Broome in 2013 – but when police arrived after being called to assist her, they arrested her, claiming she was abusive to officers.
Bell returned to the house, took the boy and murdered him. Bell was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering and sexually assaulting Charlie. Bell killed himself in prison in 2015.
Mullaley says she told the inquiry into missing and murdered First Nations women and children on Thursday how her father, Ted, had repeatedly tried to raise the alarm. Ted told police Bell had made threats towards the baby and that they needed to immediately search for him.
But authorities took hours to act on the information, before issuing incorrect licence plate details for the car Bell was driving when he took the baby, Mullaley said.
When asked if she felt police failed her and Charlie, Mullaley replied: “Bloody oath they did, in every way.”
“He would still be here if they did their job right, there’s only one road out of Broome and if they had of done their job they would have been able to get him along that road,” Mullaley told Guardian Australia.
After they found out Charlie was dead, she alleged police came to her house and “were abusing and being racist towards my dad”.
“If my family were white, there would have been more care, more help,” she said.
Mullaley was charged with resisting arrest, while Ted Mullaley was charged with obstructing arrest.
The WA government apologised in 2022 over the police treatment of the family, and both Mullaley and her father were officially pardoned by the WA attorney general, John Quigley. Quigley said both had been charged while enduring “the unthinkable”.
Mullaley said she told the inquiry police officers needed cultural competency training specific to the regions in which they worked.
After traveling from Broome to Perth for this week’s hearing, Mullaley met with senators who form part of the inquiry committee on Friday. She said she was grateful for the opportunity to share her family’s anguish, in the hope that it could bring change and accountability.
“We’ve all come in and been invited here. It shows they’re aware of it. They’re aware that there is something wrong and it needs to be changed,” the Yamatji mother said.
The Mullaley family has fought for years for an inquest into baby Charlie’s death in the hopes that no family would have to endure a similar pain. Mullaley said she told the committee inquests into missing or murdered Aboriginal women and children need to be mandatory.

Chair of the inquiry, Queensland senator Paul Scarr, said the inquiry was critical to improving responses to missing and murdered Indigenous women and children and preventing violence.
“As a Senate committee, we need to shine a bright light on this issue and grab the attention of lawmakers, stakeholders and the Australian public. We have people in our community who have been absolutely traumatised,” he said.
“We have to focus on doing whatever we can, in a practical sense to come up with recommendations to try and constructively address this.”
Dr Hannah McGlade, a member of the UN permanent forum on Indigenous issues and women’s safety advocate, is supporting families of those who have been murdered.
She said reforms are needed to ensure Indigenous families are treated appropriately in all circumstances.
“We see a pattern of under-policing when it comes to Aboriginal women and children as victims and over-policing of Aboriginal people as offenders or perceived offenders,” she said.
“It’s a serious violation of our international human rights obligations and there has to be appropriate responses by the Australian government.”

New Delhi: A woman has been arrested for allegedly killing her brother’s live-in partner in Delhi’s Teliwara area, police said on Friday.
On April 12, police received information that an unidentified woman’s body was found lying near Krishna Public School in Karawal Nagar, they said.
Later, the body was identified to be that of Rohina Naz alias Mahi (25), a resident of Mirajpur in Uttarakhand, police said.
In the CCTV footage, two bike-borne men were seen moving around suspiciously with a woman sitting in between. A man in a striped T-shirt was also seen carrying the woman’s body on his shoulder and a woman walking right behind him, a senior police officer said.
Later, the two people seen on the CCTV were identified as Vineet Pawar and his sister Parul Chowdhary. Following which the woman was apprehended from Kanti Nagar in Krishna Nagar, Deputy Commissioner of Police (northeast) Joy Tirkey said.
However, Vineet is still absconding.
Vineet and Naz had eloped four-year-ago. They lived together, but never married, he said.
In 2017, Vineet and his father Vinay Pawar were involved in a murder in Ramala Sugar Mill, Baghpat. They were convicted on October 25, 2019, and were awarded life imprisonment, the DCP said.
Naz lived with Parul in Delhi when Vineet was in jail. After Vineet came out on bail on November 26, 2022, Naz started pressurising him for marriage but Vineet’s family was against it as Naz belonged to a different community, police said.
Due to frequent fights, the brother-sister duo decided to sell off Naz. However, Naz sensed this hand retaliated. Then the duo decided to eliminate her, the DCP said.
On the day of the incident, the couple fought over the issue of their marriage again and Vineet strangulated her and hid her body, Tirkey said.
In the evening, Vineet called another man who came with a motorcycle, police said.
Vineet took the body on his shoulder while Parul carried the victim’s clothes and a cloth that Vineet used to wrap the Naz’s body, police said.
Vineet and his associate drove on the motorcycle with the body kept in between them for over 12 km looking for a place to dump it. They dumped it outside a house in Karawal Nagar and fled, police said.
Thereafter, Vineet left for his village in Baghpat, while Parul began searching for rented accommodation as they planned on sell their house in Teliwara, Farsh Bazaar soon, police said.
Efforts are being made to trace Vineet and his associate who had brought the motorcycle, they added.
Hyderabad: Marriage is considered one of the most significant events in a person’s life. It is a commitment to spend the rest of the life with a partner who is compatible in every way.
Given the importance of marriage in life, it is crucial to choose the right life partner for a successful marriage. While choosing a life partner, it is important to give preference to the qualities listed in Islam for a successful marriage.
The first and most important quality to look for in a life partner is piety. A religious spouse is highly preferred in Islam. After piety, the next quality to look for in a life partner is good nature. A person with a good heart and a kind soul will make a great partner.
In Islam, class distinctions are discouraged, but believers are asked to consider compatibility when choosing a life partner. Compatibility of the couple does not limits to having common interests but also includes being on the same page when it comes to values, goals, and priorities.
Last but not least, it is important to consider the family background of your potential partner.
