Egyptian actress in the eye of porn film storm

October 11, 2015

Cairo, Oct 11: Egyptian actress Entissar, famed for comic roles in TV serials, has sparked a big controversy in the conservative country, after she encouraged young people, who cannot afford high marriage costs, to watch sex films.

Entissar“He who fears falling into a [sexual] sin prohibited by religion can cool down by watching porn films,” the 44-year-old actress said on a TV show earlier this week.

“These films are useful for men, especially those who have no pre-marriage sex experience.”

Entissar, who is a Muslim mother, admitted to have watched porn films, rejecting any bid to block sex websites or TV stations.

“Everyone should be free in watching porn films if they want,” she added on “Nafsana” (Giving Vent to Feelings”, a show she co-hosts on the private TV station Al Qahera Wal Nas.

Her remarks have brought her under fervent criticisms from ordinary people and clerics alike.

“Is it OK to talk about porn films so easily and on TV?” said Karam Abdul Alleem, a father of four children. “Do you expect then sexual harassment to disappear?” he added.

In recent years, sex crimes have increased in Egypt, prompting the government to toughen penalties against offenders.

A UN report released in 2013 found that 99.3 per cent of women in Egypt have experienced some form of sexual harassment.

“This is a call for debauchery and depravity,” said prominent Muslim cleric Khalid Al Jindi, commenting on Entissar’s argument. “I can’t believe this could happen.”

A pro-government group, calling itself “Who Loves Egypt” has lodged a legal complaint with the country’s chief prosecutor, requesting Entissar be questioned for allegedly inciting debauchery, an offence punishable by up to one year in prison.

No legal action has been taken against the actress.

Yet, some young people have raised their voices to advocate the debate on sex. One of them is Mahmoud Shawky, a 29-year-old male accountant.

“The time has come for us to stop hiding our heads in sand. We should open a healthy discussion on sex and its education,” he said. “Of course, I don’t support the call for watching sex films. However, we should no longer regard talk on sex as a bad thing because it is part of our life and existence.”

A public debate on sex has long been a taboo in Egypt, the Arab world’s most populous country. Repeated calls for introducing sex education in schools have not drawn public or official backing in this mostly Muslim country.

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.

London, May 8: Actor Florence Pugh says the most terrifying aspect of starring in the upcoming superhero film "Black Widow" was doing the Russian accent.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe's stand-alone film, the Oscar-nominated actor plays Yelena Belova, a sister-figure to Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff/ the titular Black Widow who was trained in the Red Room.

"I was scared because my Russian accent was going to be out there and I didn't know what it sounded like.

"I'm also playing a character who no-one's seen before but they've read about her. I didn't know whether people were going to hate me!" Pugh told ELLE UK for its June issue.

The 24-year-old actor also said the idea of joining the MCU itself was quite "daunting".

"When you think of Marvel, it's big and daunting. Especially being a relatively small actor to look at it and go, 'Oh! I'm going to be a part of this', that's a big decision," she said.

"Black Widow", which was scheduled to hit the theatres on May 1, will now release on November 6 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Directed by Cate Shortland, the film also stars David Harbour and Rachel Weisz.
