学校2013Exclusive - Vijay Varma: I Am a Warm, Loving and Romantic Person at Heart_我的网站
A | Vijay Varma recently spoke to Filmfare about his upcoming movie, Gustaakh Ishq. Opening up about his romantic-at-heart character, Vijay shared that he approached the role by taking a mixture of his own experiences and understanding other poetic and romantic characters down the years. "You always draw inspiration. You try and see what it is that you can bring from your own experiences. When you don't have understand certain emotions and nuances, you borrow it from imagination. It was a mixture, like most of my characters," he revealed. Vijay added, "None of them [my characters] are all me and none of them are not me. So, there's always a mix. Either I understand them or I relate with certain parts. Sometimes, I completely disregard or don't like them. I've played the entire spectrum. Here, I feel like love is a universal feeling and to tap onto that was easy because I am a very warm-hearted, loving and romantic person at heart." Vijay further shared about the warm relationships his character is a part of, in this movie. Speaking about the nuanced love story he is portraying with Fatima Sana Shaikh, Vijay shared, "Our friendship took off immediately. We became very good friends, right from the word 'go.' Luckily for Fatty (Fatima Sana Shaikh) and I, we have the same sense of humour. She would finish my sentences. We would crack the same jokes but nobody would get it! We have a very twisted sense of humour. Our friendship helped us work on the scenes. Aisa kabhi nahi laga ki main usko kuch bol nahi sakunga. It wasn't distant, courteous or professional. It was professional to a large degree. The banter was friendly. We were looking out for each other. That energy is what we carried throughout the film."Also Read: Vijay Varma Talks About Playing a Romantic Hero in Gustaakh Ishq。  The prize is awarded every two years by the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) to a living author (since 1956) and illustrator (since 1966). The award is often referred to as the "Nobel Prize for children's literature," honoring lifelong achievements that have made a lasting and important contribution to children's literature. During the award ceremony, IBBY President Basarat Kazim praised Cai for the elegant, unrushed style in her works, which encourages children to look closely and discover beauty in quiet corners, according to the Guangming Daily. Kazim said Cai's works have an unhurried elegance that encourages children to look closely and discover beauty in quiet, everyday moment. "This year's winner, Cai Gao, is extremely special. She is as beautiful a person as the drawings she does," Kazim said. Following author Cao Wenxuan's win of the Hans Christian Andersen Awards as a writer of children's literature in 2016, Cai's achievement means that Chinese creators have now won both the author and illustrator categories, a "double victory." In her acceptance speech, Cai said, "The future of the world lies in children. There is no greater happiness than creating for them." She also noted that children's books are bridges, connecting cultures and hearts around the world. Reflecting on her childhood and her years teaching in rural villages, Cai recalled that after six years working as a rural primary school teacher in the 1980s, she joined a publishing house, where she spent two decades as a children's book editor. "This job taught me the most important lesson: to see life through the eyes of a child, and to use art as a way of expressing my feelings about life," she noted. "I feel the profound weight of this gift from life. I'm filled with mixed emotions. I'm moved and grateful for everything I've been through. Every experience has shaped me into the person I am today," she added. Alongside her editing career, Cai kept creating original picture books. Her well-known book Yueliang Baba is based on folk songs her grandmother would sing in her native Changsha dialect. Works like Huocheng 1938 (lit: Fire City 1938) were inspired by memories of wartime in Changsha, capital of Central China's Hunan Province. The rural scenery and farming scenes in The Land of the Peach Blossom, a book which is also listed as textbooks for primary school students in Japan, all reflect her lifelong connection to the Hunan countryside and many years quietly editing books at her desk, according to the China News Service. Though her illustrations reflect the atmosphere of the times, Cai told the Global Times that her stories' true intentions go beyond the visual; she hopes her work can teach children that "fearlessness and love are ways to overcome hardship." Books such as Bao'er, Hua Mulan, The Land of the Peach Blossom, and The Hundred Birds' Feather Robe have established Cai as an illustrator who skillfully interprets traditional Chinese culture. She constantly revisits the classics, striving to connect ancient stories to contemporary social and cultural themes. Before winning the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2026, Cai became, in 1993, the first Chinese illustrator to win the Golden Apple Award, one of the world's top international honors for children's illustration. Cai has always emphasized that these awards do not belong to her alone. "When I learned that I had won the award, my first thought was of all the creators of my generation. This award is not just mine, it belongs to all of us," she said. Cai's victory fills a six-decade gap for Chinese illustrators in the award's history, Zhang Peng, an associate professor at Nanjing Normal University and also president of the university's publishing house, told the Global Times. It also shows that original picture books, rooted in Chinese tradition and told with Eastern aesthetics, are fully capable of earning global recognition, Zhang added. Zhang noted that for a long time, the Chinese children's book market was dominated by foreign imports, and local authors often struggled with the anxiety of imitating Western works. At 80, Cai has set a striking example for the industry with her use of ink-and-wash folk art, proving that the more grounded in national culture a work is, the wider its global reach. This has inspired greater confidence among local creators and encourages more people to focus on traditional Chinese culture, while paving the way for Chinese children's books to go global. "Cai's achievement is no accident. It marks the moment when Chinese children's books truly found their own voice on the world stage," Zhang said. 。 Current article:http://btwn.rangnehongranlinren.bond/278aa3v/rtt942.html Published on:04:16:49 |
