Mumbai– As 2021 draws closer to an end, actress Alaya F, who made her debut opposite Saif Ali Khan in ‘Jawani Jaaneman’, looks back at the year as she calls it a professionally rewarding year.

The actress has been busy with shoots throughout this year and she now opens up on how that feels.

Talking about her busy year, Alaya shares: “2021 was a very special year for me because I finally got the opportunity to really work and be on sets non-stop after a long break that the pandemic forced upon us!”

Working her way through lockdowns in projects one after the other, he says: “I was constantly shooting and in films back to back and even though it was very exhausting at times, it was so rewarding because all through the lockdowns that happened post my first release all I could think about was getting back to work. So finally being able to do what I had been dreaming of was incredible!”

Shedding light on her learnings, the actress says: “In between all of this I also learnt important lessons on how to balance my time and conserve my energy and take breaks when necessary. Which is something I never used to do!”

Audiences in theatres celebrate Samantha’s ‘Pushpa’ item number

Hyderabad– With ‘Pushpa’ opening to terrific box-office collections, the reports claim otherwise. Marked as a good entertainer with a few loopholes, ‘Pushpa’ has caught up with mixed reviews.

Along with Allu Arjun’s splendid performance, actress Samantha is being lauded for her bold, blingy special number in the movie ‘Pushpa’.

Visuals from theatres show the masses boogie for Samantha’s fizzy item song in ‘Pushpa’. Samantha and Allu Arjun dance to the beats, while the viewers are spotted throwing confetti and hurling papers at the screen.

As the song is sequenced in towards the end of the first half of ‘Pushpa’, the audience is seen going gaga over the item song.

The ostentatious set and the whole setup give much appeal to the mass song, for which the music is composed by Devi Sri Prasad, and the dance is composed by Ganesh Acharya.

Being it Samantha’s first special song, the song ‘Oo Antava Maava Ooo Antava Maava’ has been hyped so much.

Samantha’s unlimited following remains one of the factors for such hype around the song, despite it sounding like any other common item song.

Samantha is unquestionably in her sexiest avatar to date due to the fact that she has exposed her mass side without any inhibitions.

Samantha, on the other hand, is to appear in two multilingual movies, apart from ‘Shaakunthalam’, which is wrapped up already.
