Common sense to wear helmet when on a bike: Kamal Haasan

June 20, 2015

Chennai, Jun 20: Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan is "sorry" for riding a bike in his forthcoming Tamil thriller "Papanasam" without a helmet, but says it's common sense to wear one when one steps out on a bike.

kamal hasan"We shouldn't have shot the bike scenes without a helmet, and I'm sorry for it," Kamal said.

A poster featuring a helmet-less Kamal riding a moped along with co-stars Gauthami, Nivetha Thomas and Esther, has received a little flak from audiences, especially after the Tamil Nadu government made it mandatory to wear helmets all those who got on a bike.

"We shot the bike scenes long back, but that's not much of an excuse. We should've definitely thought of using a helmet. But I think it's common sense to wear a helmet when you step on a bike, just like you wear slippers while getting out," he said.

Directed by Jeethu Joseph, "Papanasam" is the remake of Malayalam hit Drishyam. It is slated for release on July 3.

New Delhi, Jul 24: With more than 50 movies under her credits and being one of the few actors from Bollywood to make a strong imprint in Hollywood, actor Priyanka Chopra started it all by winning Miss India 2000 pageant.

Chopra who is currently celebrating the completion of 20 years in the entertainment industry, on Friday looked back and reacted to the video where she was crowned as Miss India.
The' Fashion' actor shared a video on Instagram, where she is seen watching the throwback video. The 'Dostana' actor recalled winning the title and joked about her sense of style and poses back then.

Sharing the reaction video, she wrote: "Alright guys, we're doing this! I'm watching footage from my Miss India pageant in 2000! This is where it all began... If you've never seen these before, you are in for quite a treat. #20in2020 @feminamissindia."

Throughout the video, the 'Gunday' actor is seen casually commenting on her hairstyle, enacting her own movement on stage, and also recalled her luscious hair, which she now wonders where it all got lost.

However, she took a moment to appreciate the "clever and profound" answer she gave for the question that won her the crown.

While watching the winning moment, the 'Don' star noted how she never expected to win it. She explained that she had a train booked as she was to go back and take her board exams.

Going through the old photographs that run parallel to the video, she says: "These pictures are hard to look at." Pausing at a particular photograph, she laughs and says, "I don't even know how to do that pose."

"Well, this is where everything started. These are the pictures that sent me to Tinseltown," said the actor towards the end of the video.
