Emma Watson reveals she likes Belle over Cinderella, whose role which she rejected

In a new interview , the 26-year-old Beauty and the Beast actress revealed that she was offered a role in Disney's 2015 live-action Cinderella movie before accepting the part of Belle in Beauty and the Beast --and she prefers Belle over Cinderella!
"I didn't know they were going to make Beauty and the Beast at the time I turned down Cinderella, but when they offered me Belle, I just felt the character resonated with me so much more than Cinderella did," Watson shared, confessing that she thinks Belle is the better role model between the two princesses.
"She remains curious, compassionate and open-minded. And that's the kind of woman I would want to embody as a role model, given the choice," she said.
"There's this kind of outsider quality that Belle had, and the fact she had this really empowering defiance of what was expected of her," the Beauty and The Beast star continued. "In a strange way, she challenges the status quo of the place she lives in, and I found that really inspiring. She manages to keep her integrity and have a completely independent point of view. She's not easily swayed by other people's perspective -- not swayed by fear-mongering or scapegoating."
"The core DNA of Belle is a feminist," the actress explained!
Catch Emma Watson in Beauty and the Beast releasing in March!

T-Series beats Justin Bieber to become World’s No. 1 Music channel on Youtube

The format on which music is heard may have changed from cassettes to CD’s to digital over the last few years, but there are two things that have remained constant over the years. One, the love for melody and good music and two the domination of T-Series when it comes to music. While T-Series was always a leader in India, last year it also became the first music company to find a place in the top 10 of ‘Youtube’s Most Viewed Channel list’. 
T-Series had a fantastic 2016 on Youtube with exponential growth and has beaten top channels like Justin Bieber who was on top of the Youtube’ Most Viewed Channel list last year to become the World’s No 1 Most Viewed Channel on Youtube. 
The T-Series Youtube channel that has Bollywood focused videos were watched 7.3 billion times last year (with December 2016 alone crossing 892.5 million views).  Bollywood music videos has a big audience across the world and the leadership of T-Series is a reflection of that. 

An elated Chairman and Managing Director of T-Series Bhushan Kumar talking to us said, ‘Becoming the World’s No 1 Music channel on Youtube is very exciting and inspiring. It wants me to work even harder with my team. In 2016, we have 11 Bollywood films releasing in a period of just nine months, more than any other studio. With Bollywood gaining so much popularity amongst Indians and other World citizens globally, we can only grow further.’
