New research suggests some are treating them like lifestyle or cosmetic products rather than prescription medicines. Pharmacist Hira Malik discuss what we’ve learnt so far. Last year, Bollywood's violent, male-driven action thrillers - dominated the domestic box-office and cultural conversations. The year before that, it was more women-led stories. To dive deeper into this, Bobby talks to Bollywood film expert Dr. Rajinder Dudrah. Shabaz Ali is a chemistry teacher in Blackburn during the day and on with his comedy he takes down those who package and present their 'perfect' lives online.
