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.

Tropical cyclones passing over the northern part of the Indian Ocean are named by eight countries in the region, namely India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Myanmar, Oman and Thailand. The process only began in 2004, fours years after World Meteorological Organization agreed in principle to allow them to name cyclones originating in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. The alphabet system is used to designate the name of a cyclone, which means the name of the year’s first cyclone begins with A. Previously, till 1979, cyclones were only given female names. Male names were only introduced in the same year. World Meteorological Organization (WMO) maintains the database of cyclone/hurricane/typhoon names. There are six lists of names used in rotation and they are recycled every six years. The names are picked from this pre-designated l...
