Prime Video has unveiled the official trailer of Dupahiya Season 2, bringing audiences back to Dhadakpur with another round of chaos, crime and comedy. The second season of the Prime Original series picks up from where the first season ended and introduces a fresh set of troubles for Banwari and his family. The series is set to premiere on October 1, 2026, exclusively on Prime Video in India and across more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Directed by Sonam Nair, Dupahiya Season 2 is created and produced by Salona Bains Joshi and Shubh Shivdasani under the banner of Bombay Film Cartel LLP. The series has been created and written by Avinash Dwivedi and Chirag Garg. The new season features Gajraj Rao, Renuka Shahane, Sparsh Shrivastava, Bhuvan Arora, Shivani Raghuvanshi and Yashpal Sharma, with Dinesh Lal Yadav (Nirahua) joining the cast. The trailer returns to Dhadakpur, which was earlier known as Indias only crime-free village. Bhugol may have gained fame, but that comes with its own set of complications, while Banwari and his family find themselves dealing with yet another series of unexpected situations. A new mobile tower on Banwaris barren land becomes the source of rumours, superstition and confusion. Meanwhile, Roshini is preparing for her SSC examination with Amavas by her side as the characters navigate the hurdles that come their way. Speaking about the second season, director Sonam Nair said, Dupahiya holds a special place in my heart, and it has been an exciting journey since we brought the first season to viewers. The love our audiences have shown for season one and the fandom built around it have been incredibly encouraging, and I am confident that season two will be received with the same enthusiasm. Prime Video has always supported creators and their passion for telling fresh, authentic, and distinctive stories, and it's been fulfilling to once again collaborate with this cast and crew, who have truly outdone themselves this time around. Gajraj Rao, who returns as Banwari Jha, said, Dupahiya has been one of my favourite projects. What makes the series special is that while the story is set in a small, rooted village, the characters, their relationships and their everyday struggles feel familiar to everyone, whether you are living in a small city, big metro or outside India. Season two promises more chaos, more surprises and, of course, the same warmth and humour that audiences connected with in the first season. I can't wait for everyone to return to Dhadakpur on October 1, when Dupahiya season two premieres on Prime Video. View this post on Instagram A post shared by prime video IN (@primevideoin) Renuka Shahane, who plays Pushplata, added, I had a lovely experience with the first season, so returning to Dupahiya as Pushplata was something I looked forward to. What I enjoy about this series is that it finds humour in the most ordinary moments while keeping its characters grounded and real. Season two raises the stakes with fresh challenges, but the beating heart of Dhadakpur, its people and their madness, remains very much intact. Shivani Raghuvanshi, who reprises her role as Roshni, shared, Returning for season two of Dupahiya has been a very special and different experience for me. Ive always loved this show, and coming back to familiar sets and familiar faces feels incredibly comforting. The entire team has become such a wonderful part of my journey, and working with them again has been nothing short of fun. What makes this season particularly exciting is that the show explores comedy in such a unique way. The situations, the people and the collaborations make it so much more enjoyable. Every actor brings something different to the table, and working with the director and our lovely producers has been a great experience. Roshni, in particular, is very close to my heart because she is so unlike me. Shes carefree, a little spoilt, impulsive and somehow always finds herself in trouble and somehow manages to take everyone around her into that trouble too! What surprised me most this season was discovering how much more there was to her. Ive played very different characters so far, and honestly, I didnt have a real-life reference point for Roshni. So creating her with the help of the writing and my director was a really exciting process. Ive genuinely had so much fun stepping back into her shoes, and Im really looking forward to seeing how the audience receives her this season. Bhuvan Arora, who returns as Amavas, said, It was lovely to come back to Dupahiya and, of course, to Amavas. There is something endearing about this world and these characters. Season two has the same eccentricity, hilarity and ups and downs that audiences loved in the first season, but the twists this time caught me off guard too. Amavas has also matured in ways I didn't expect, and it was a lot of fun to explore that side. I am excited for audiences to see what he and the rest of Dhadakpur get up to this time! Sparsh Shrivastava, who plays Bhugol, said, Bhugol is different from the roles I have played so far. On the surface, he may seem simple and straightforward, but there is a lot more to him than meets the eye. What I enjoy about playing him is discovering those little nuances and contradictions that make him unpredictable. The new season gave me the opportunity to push those boundaries further, and it has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my career. With its returning ensemble cast and a new set of comic complications in Dhadakpur, Dupahiya Season 2 is set to premiere on Prime Video on October 1, 2026.

The ongoing drama around Qazi Touqeers prank on Bigg Boss 20 has now drawn reactions from filmmaker and composer Sajid Khan and former Bigg Boss winner Gauahar Khan. While Sajid criticised the way Rhiti Tiwari spoke to Qazi following the reveal of his prank, Gauahar praised the contestant for remaining calm during the confrontation. The controversy began after Salman Khan exposed Qazis act during Weekend Ka Vaar. Qazi had reportedly created a fake health-related situation in the house, including claiming that he needed special medicine and earlier telling housemates that he could see things. The reveal led to several contestants confronting him over what they considered a breach of trust. Rhiti Tiwari, daughter of Bhojpuri actor and politician Manoj Tiwari, was particularly vocal during the confrontation. She called Qazi a dhongi baba, fraudster, shame to mental health patients and worst human ever. When Qazi asked her to stop abusing him, the exchange continued to escalate. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Qazi Touqeer (@qazitouqeer_official) Sajid Khan Reacts To Rhiti Tiwaris Behaviour Sajid Khan took to social media to share his reaction to the episode. The filmmaker said he watches Bigg Boss partly because his conversations with Salman Khan often revolve around the show. However, he admitted that he did not agree with the manner in which Rhiti addressed Qazi. Hi guys, this is Sajid here. I shouldn't be talking about all these things. But yes, of course, I watch Bigg Boss. And I have to watch Bigg Boss. Because when I meet Salman, he asks me something. You know, it becomes a topic. That's why I have to watch it. But yesterday, I didn't watch Bigg Boss this time. But I was watching it yesterday, Sajid said. Reacting specifically to the confrontation, he added, And the way that girl spoke to that boy, Kazi. I mean, I didn't like it. I'm so sorry. You know, it's very bad. I mean, she comes from a very renowned family. And what a prestigious father and name. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sajid Wajid (@thesajidwajid) Sajid also said he felt Qazis prank had at least provided entertainment to viewers and defended the idea of having contestants who create moments on the reality show. And I let by the way, artists cannot embarrass an artist like this. And whatever he was doing, I mean, people were enjoying it. At least, there is someone in Bigg Boss who is entertaining. You know, otherwise, it's like sad, he said. Gauahar Khan Praises Qazi For Staying Calm Gauahar Khan, who won Bigg Boss 7, also came out in support of Qazi following the Weekend Ka Vaar clash. Taking to her Instagram Stories, she shared two videos praising the way he handled the confrontation. Qazi Touqeer, jis beauty se aapne wo cheez handle ki. Kisi ne aapke upar spit kiya, kisi ne aapke upar apashabd bole, kisi ne aapko kaun hai be tu pata nahi kya-kya bola. Pata nahi kahan se aaya woh frustration, obviously jealousy se, Gauahar said. She further praised Qazi for acknowledging his mistake while maintaining his composure during the confrontation. You held your calm, you held your language. You knew that you had made a mistake, but you also knew that it wasnt such a big mistake. Thats why the confidence you have, I always say that the truth within you shows in your actions, she added. The reactions from Sajid and Gauahar have added another layer to the discussion around Qazis prank and the confrontation that followed. While Qazis decision to fake a health-related issue drew criticism from housemates, the manner in which the contestants addressed him has now become a separate point of discussion around the show.

Elli AvrRam recently attended the London premiere of The Cycle Of Love, a documentary based on the real-life love story of PK Mahanandia and Lotta. The London screening took place a month after the documentarys New York premiere, which was hosted by Priyanka Chopra. Ellis presence at the London screening was also linked to her long-standing association with the family. Having known them for several years and connected with their story, the actor attended the premiere to support their journey and the documentarys message of love and humanity. Talking about her association with PK and Lotta and the London screening, Elli said, I have known the family for many years, and we have been trying to meet each other for the longest. PK and Lottas story is so incredibly inspiring and the world needs to hear it because it fills your heart with so much hope to believe in the power of love and humanity. The Cycle Of Love follows the real-life journey of PK, an Indian artist who fell in love with Swedish woman Lotta. After Lotta returned to Sweden following her visit to India, PK decided to reunite with her and travelled from India to Sweden by bicycle. The couple have now been married for 50 years. Reflecting on attending the London premiere following the New York screening hosted by Priyanka Chopra, Elli said, Im happy to have come here to support them, share their story and message that comes with it. Elli also clarified that the documentary is not based on a fictional concept but follows the couples actual love story. She said, Its not a concept, its a documentary based on their love story. How they met and how PK decided to go all the way to Sweden from India, on a bicycle, and he actually did it! Today they have been married for 50 years! All because of PKs determination to take himself to Lotta who had gone back to Sweden after her visit in India. For Elli, meeting PK and Lotta in person added to the experience. She said, Meeting them finally in person and seeing their love still being so alive is heartwarming. The world needs more of this, she says. Ellis connection with the couples story dates back to 2017, when she first read their book. She found a connection with Lottas relationship with India, particularly because Elli herself is Swedish and has spoken about being drawn to India from a young age. Explaining what resonated with her about their story, Elli concluded, What I love so much when I read their book back in 2017 is that I connected so much to Lotta and her calling for India. Since Im from Sweden myself, and have always been drawn to India from a young age, theres so much I relate to, she concludes.

The Edinburgh Castle Rockers have been crowned the inaugural champions of the European T20 Premier League (ETPL) after defeating Belfast Wolves by seven wickets in the final at Malahide. The Castle Rockers chased down Belfasts target of 151 with eight balls to spare, with Andries Gous playing the decisive innings with an unbeaten 90. Edinburgh captain Mitchell Santner won the toss and opted to bowl first. The decision paid off early when Trent Boult dismissed Paul Stirling for eight, caught by Jack Jarvis. Belfast were then tasked with rebuilding their innings, with Tim Tector taking charge of the recovery. Tector scored 84 off 62 deliveries, hitting nine fours and two sixes, to provide the foundation for Belfasts total. Devon Conway contributed 29 off 24 balls, with the pair putting together a partnership before JJ Smuts dismissed Conway, caught by Gareth Delany. Mark Watt then removed Glenn Maxwell for three, while Boult returned to dismiss Lorcan Tucker for six as Belfast slipped to 105 for four. Tector continued his innings, with Harry Manenti adding an unbeaten 16 from 14 balls. Tom Curran dismissed Tector with the final delivery of the innings, leaving Belfast at 150 for five. Boult finished with two wickets from his four overs, while Watt and Smuts also contributed with important breakthroughs. In response, Edinburgh started positively with Ross Adair scoring 23 from 14 balls, including two fours and two sixes. Mark Adair then had him caught behind by Tucker. Smuts added 15 before Matthew Humphreys dismissed him at the end of the 10th over, leaving Edinburgh at 79 for two. Gous then took control of the chase. He remained unbeaten on 90 from 61 balls, hitting eight fours and four sixes. Brandon McMullen contributed 17 from 12 deliveries before Gavin Hoey dismissed him. With the target within reach, Santner joined Gous at the crease and remained unbeaten as Edinburgh reached 151 for three in 18.4 overs. Reflecting on his match-winning contribution, Gous said, It's always nice winning finals. Nice to be able to contribute to a winning cause. He explained that although he had been playing well throughout the tournament without converting his starts into a big score, he had set himself the task of being the guy staying on till the back end. The approach paid off in the biggest match of the season. Be the guy at the end. Take your time. Make sure that you focus, he said, describing the small mental adjustments that helped him deliver when it mattered most. Edinburgh head coach Trevor Bayliss also praised the squads performance throughout the tournament. Fantastic tournament, he said, highlighting how a different group of players had gelled really well and how their performances reflected that unity. Bayliss also acknowledged the contribution of local players and noted that the team had to make adjustments following difficult results during the campaign. Co-owner Kyle Mills spoke about the team culture and the role of local players in the competition. Biggest thing for me is culture and character and having calmness in the group, he said, adding that Santner had set the standard as leader while players such as McMullen and Jack Jarvis had stepped up. Mills said he hoped the local players would begin to see themselves among the worlds leading franchise cricketers: They're not Associates. They belong in tournaments like this. The Edinburgh players also reflected on the title-winning campaign. Boult called it a Great afternoon, while Curran described the squad as a pretty special group from day one. He credited the local players and said the internationals had just put the cherry on top just when we needed to. Curran also highlighted the contributions of Gous, McMullen and Ross Adair. Gareth Delany described the experience as a good experience standing here as winners after joining a group that had welcomed him. Smuts called the tournament an unbelievable tournament and spoke about how quickly the squad bonded. Ross Adair also reflected on the unusual subplot of facing his brother Mark during the final, describing it as nice to have this over him after his brother had often got the better of him. With their seven-wicket victory over Belfast Wolves, Edinburgh Castle Rockers have become the first team to lift the European T20 Premier League trophy, bringing the inaugural edition of the competition to a close.
