The two got engaged last year.

Putting an end to rumours suggesting her partner pays for everything in their relationship, she told Glamour magazine: “I’m a very successful, independent woman who’s worked really hard. I’ve accomplished and bought everything myself, and I provide for myself and my family.”

Sweeney said that her partner is not financially backed for her Fifty-Fifty Films production company.

She added: “I would love to set the record straight. You can be in a healthy relationship with someone and also be very successful without needing the man. We’re teammates. We’re in it together. And we want to see each other succeed.”

She went on to say that she doesn’t take her financial security for granted since she started earning money in Hollywood and she will never be able to feel “comfortable” because her parents previously went through bankruptcy .

Sweeney added: “I come from a family where I saw my parents lose everything, and I am terrified of that. That fear will always be instilled in me. I’m a huge saver. I don’t just go and spend money.

She had told ES Magazine: “I think I’m still navigating it on a daily basis because I want to be as authentic and genuinely open to the public and my fans as possible. And I think I am. I talk a lot, I’m very open and it’ll probably be to my detriment, but I don’t know how people can hide behind an image.

“At the same time, I don’t owe people answers. I’m a very private person when it comes to my family and relationships. I want people to know who I am as an individual but also, I feel that I should still be allowed to have my own peace and private life as well. It’s a weird balance, I’m definitely still figuring it out.”

Shailaja Paik: A Pioneer in Dalit Studies

0

Shailaja Paik, a distinguished Indian-American professor and historian, has made history by becoming the first Dalit recipient of the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship, often referred to as the “genius grant.” Awarded by the MacArthur Foundation, this honor comes with a substantial grant of $800,000 intended to support individuals who demonstrate extraordinary creativity and potential in their respective fields.

Paik’s groundbreaking research focuses on the intersection of caste, gender, and sexuality, particularly concerning Dalit women in India. Her work not only sheds light on the struggles faced by these marginalized communities but also emphasizes their resilience and agency in the face of systemic discrimination.

In her recent statements following the award announcement, Paik expressed her hope that this recognition would encourage non-Dalits to stand in solidarity with Dalits against caste, gender, and racial discrimination. She highlighted the historical sacrifices made by Dalits for social justice and called for collective action to address these ongoing issues. Paik’s scholarship has significantly contributed to Dalit studies, providing new insights into how gender and sexuality intersect with caste dynamics to perpetuate discrimination against Dalit women. Her research draws from a rich array of sources, including oral histories and ethnographic interviews, which she plans to archive for future scholarship.

Paik’s notable publications include her first book, Dalit Women’s Education in Modern India: Double Discrimination, which explores the educational challenges faced by Dalit women. Her second book, The Vulgarity of Caste: Dalits, Sexuality, and Humanity in Modern India, examines the lives of Tamasha performers-Dalit women who navigate societal stigma while asserting their cultural identity through performance art. Through her work, Paik aims to illuminate the complex realities of Dalit women’s lives and challenge prevailing narratives that marginalize their experiences.

The MacArthur Fellowship is a significant acknowledgment not only of Paik’s individual contributions but also of the broader struggles faced by the Dalit community. As she embarks on this new chapter with the support of the fellowship, Shailaja Paik remains committed to advancing social justice and fostering a deeper understanding of caste-related issues both in India and globally. Her journey exemplifies how dedicated scholarship can challenge entrenched social norms and contribute to meaningful change in society.

Tollywood’s Epic Pongal Clash of 2025

0

The upcoming Sankranti festival in 2025 is poised to witness an intense battle among Tollywood’s leading stars as multiple highly anticipated films are scheduled for release during the festive season. The competition is expected to be particularly fierce given the involvement of several big-budget productions.

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film, “Vishwambhara,” directed by Vashishtha, has already been confirmed for a Pongal release. Adding to the excitement, senior hero Venky’s “Sankranti,” directed by Anil Ravipudi, has also announced its Pongal release. Further intensifying the competition, Balayya’s film under the direction of Bobby, initially planned for a December 20 release, has now been pushed back to Sankranti to avoid a solo release due to its massive budget.

Sitara Entertainments, the production house behind Balayya’s film, also has another major project with Ravi Teja lined up for the same period. However, to avoid direct competition with Balayya’s film, Sitara has decided to postpone Ravi Teja’s movie to the summer.

The Pongal race is further heating up with the addition of Akkineni Nagarjuna’s “Bangarraju-3” and Sandeep Kishan’s “Majaka.” While the producers have confirmed Balayya’s film for a January 12 release, a direct clash with Chiranjeevi’s “Vishwambhara” seems inevitable.

The upcoming Sankranti festival promises to be a blockbuster event for Tollywood, with some of its biggest stars vying for box office success. The clash between Chiranjeevi and Balayya, following the remarkable success of their previous films “Veerasimha Reddy” and “Waltair Veerayya” during the 2023 Pongal, is expected to be a particular highlight of the festive season.

Ananya Panday’s Unconventional Approach to Heartbreak

0

In a recent interview, actress Ananya Panday candidly discussed her unconventional method of coping with heartbreak. Revealing that she once burned photographs of her ex-boyfriend, she described the dramatic gesture as a “nice way to release frustration.” Ananya’s admission sheds light on a common, yet often unspoken, response to the emotional turmoil that follows the end of a relationship. While she no longer resorts to such measures, she acknowledges that many people have engaged in similar acts during difficult times.

Ananya’s reflections on her past actions highlight her growth and maturity since those days. She emphasized that burning the photos felt like a symbolic release of pent-up emotions, allowing her to confront her feelings in a tangible way. However, she has since adopted a more constructive approach to dealing with heartbreak, focusing on self-growth and clarity. Her statement, “Just deal with it. Nothing is permanent. You will figure it out,” showcases her evolved perspective on relationships and personal challenges.

The actress also drew parallels between her experience and the iconic character Geet from the film “Jab We Met,” who famously burned her ex’s photographs. Ananya expressed that she could relate to Geet’s dramatic approach during her younger years but has since moved past that phase of her life. This connection to popular culture underscores how media representations can influence personal experiences and coping mechanisms.

As Ananya continues to navigate her career in the film industry, she remains optimistic about the future. With her upcoming project “CTRL” generating buzz, fans are eager to see how she channels her experiences into her work. Her candidness about past heartbreaks serves not only as a personal reflection but also as a reminder that vulnerability is a shared human experience, one that can lead to growth and resilience over time.
