Mariam a.k.a. Mary, the mother of Jesus, unexpectedly burst on to my Instagram feed this fortnight. The occasion was the release of the trailer for the epic Biblical film, Mary. The trailer has provoked anger over the casting of Israeli actors to play Mary and other central roles, while 'erasing the characters' Palestinian roots', as the London-based Middle East Eye put it. The sentiment was further explained by a social media user quoted on the website as saying: 'There is something profoundly offensive about having an Israeli actor play Mary, the mother of Jesus, while Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians, killing some of the oldest Christian communities in the world and erasing their heritage sites.' Earlier, Mary director DJ Caruso told Entertainment Weekly, 'It was important to us that Mary, along with most of our primary cast, be selected from Israel to ensure authenticity.' Caruso's comment is designed to confuse cinephiles who have not studied West Asia, and therefore, understandably, do not know the difference between the ancient Israel mentioned in the Bible versus the modern-day country known as the State of Israel, or the historic region of Palestine versus the present-day State of Palestine.

The price is steeper at Rs 3,750 for a 100 ml bottle. The “1942” in the brand name, in case you did not make the connection, is Bachchan’s year of birth. A new range was launched a couple of years ago, on his 80th birthday. Unfortunately, the perfumes don’t seem to be anywhere close to being the hot sellers that one would expect from Big B. They exist, but without much fanfare or franchise —a pale shadow of the legend they represent. I visited Nueva, Virat Kohli’s restaurant in Delhi. It was nice but it wasn’t exceptional. There is also One8 Commune now open in multiple locations. I have read mixed reviews of the restaurant, and those that have been there have provided only lukewarm feedback.
