Kind of films I want to do cannot be for bread and butter: Gul Panag

New delhi: Actor Gul Panag, who loves travel and adventure, says she no longer depends on films to earn her bread and butter.
She has been missing from the Hindi film scene for long.
Asked about it, Gul told IANS: “It’s not that I don’t do films. Of course, I am doing them, but it’s just that I no longer depend on films for my bread and butter… I haven’t (been dependent on films) for a very long time.”
“I am an entrepreneur for the last seven to eight years and I have realized that the kind of films that I want to do, it cannot be for bread and butter. I am still happy to do films but they are the ones that I should really like,” she added.
Gul, a former beauty queen, started her acting career in 2003 with the film Dhoop, and later went on to films like Dor, Manorama Six Feet Under, Rann, Turning 30 and Fatso!
Is she happy with the kind of scripts that she is being offered these days?
“I am busy these days. And every now and then, I keep getting some scripts. I recently did a Punjabi film (‘Ambarsariya’) that I really enjoyed doing. Whenever I find some challenging scripts, I will do it,” she added.
Gul has always been vocal about her opinion on vital issues of the society, and specifically about women equality.
She feels that as far as remuneration disparity between men and women is concerned, it’s not just restricted to the film world.
“I think there are people who are speaking up adequately on that. It’s not just about Bollywood. I am also an entrepreneur, so it’s not just in Bollywood. I see this outside Bollywood as well,” the 37-year-old said.

Smartphones of the future: flexible designs and new uses

The Lenovo CPlus is a prototype smartphone that can roll up and be worn around your wrist. With Gartner predicting worldwide annual sales of more than 1.5 billion units, here a few ways that smartphone devices could evolve in the coming years. When Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPhone in 2007 (also known as the "iPhone 2G"), it broke all the codes of the mobile phone market at the time. The device caused a sensation with its 3.5-inch touch screen, which could be used without a stylus thanks to multi-touch technology. It offered Edge, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity and ran its own operating system. The iPhone was even picked as the year's "Best Invention" by Time magazine. Little by little, the smartphone -- defined as a cell phone with a touchscreen, connected to the internet and able to be loaded with various applications -- took over from more basic flip-phone handsets with limited functionality. In 10 years, no other model has shaken up the m...
