Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It's been great setting out on this new adventure with The Independent to bring you some of the biggest Bollywood stars for the last couple of months. As 2009 (and the decade!) draws to a close, I've lined up a couple of real treats.
This amazing man has endured a remarkable 40 year career and still counting. At 67 years old, he's achieved more than most stars will ever dream of and starred in some of the biggest movies ever made. By opting out of the popular romantic flicks of the 70s, he literally opened up a genre which had never before been touched in Indian cinema and became the 'Angry Man' or the 'Action Hero' in Bollywood. He quite literally changed the face of Bollywood and continues to inspire and challenge. In his latest film, Paa, he plays a child suffering from the incredibly rare genetic disease, Progeria - a wonderfully, touching and emotive story about love, friendship, school, happiness and family. A must watch.
To a lot of people, he is Bollywood. I do hope you enjoy my interview with him, do leave feedback too.
