Bigg Boss 20: Kaashvi Hiranandani apologises after accusing Love Gill of manipulating ScoutOP; says, I should have known better

Kaashvi Hiranandani has issued an apology after facing criticism over her remarks about Love Gill during the latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 20. In an Instagram story, ScoutOPs girlfriend acknowledged that some of her words were insensitive and said she could have expressed her concerns differently. The controversy began when Kaashvi appeared on the episode hosted by Rohit Shetty and confronted ScoutOP, whose real name is Tanmay Singh, over his physical closeness with Love inside the house. During the interaction, she sarcastically asked him, How is the massage parlour going, Tanmay?, referring to instances in which he had massaged Loves feet, hands and neck. Kaashvi also accused Love of having trapped Scout, saying, Usne aapko phasaya hai aur aap phas gaye. She expressed discomfort with their bond and said it had made people, including members of her family, uncomfortable. Her comments subsequently drew criticism from viewers who felt Love was being held responsible for Scouts actions. Kaashvi Hiranandani says she could have expressed herself better Addressing the criticism, Kaashvi clarified that her intention had been to question Scout about his behaviour rather than pass judgement on Love. She acknowledged that some of her remarks crossed a line. My intention was to address Scout, call out the mistakes I felt he had made, and hold him accountable for his actions. However, in doing so, I realise that some of the words I used were insensitive towards other people involved. Regardless of what I was feeling at the time, it is not my place to pass judgements on someone elses intentions or character, and I could have expressed myself better, she wrote. She further stated that she had never intended to encourage hostility towards Love. I never intended to direct hate towards another woman or encourage anyone to target her. I understand that my words carry weight, and I take responsibility for how they may have come across, the story read. I should have known better Kaashvi also referred to the online commentary surrounding Love, saying that content questioning the latters intentions had affected her emotions during the confrontation. Watching all the She knows what she's doing, Its her strategy content clouded my emotions but I should have known better, she wrote. Concluding her statement, Kaashvi acknowledged that it was not her place to question Loves intentions and apologised to those who had been hurt by her comments. Its not my place to tell her anything, I recognise that and truly apologise to everyone Ive hurt, she added. Kaashvis apology comes after Love Gills team issued a statement defending her and questioning why she was being blamed for Scouts feelings. The team maintained that Love had always considered Scout a brother and argued that she was facing a toxic double standard by being held responsible for a mans choices. The statement concluded that Love deserved empathy, not cruelty and should not have to pay for a mans choices.

Dilwali Diwali: Mihir Ahuja, Manoj Pahwa and Neelu Kohli starrer festive family film to premiere on Netflix on November 5

Netflix is set to bring a festive family story to audiences this Diwali with Dilwali Diwali, a new film starring Mihir Ahuja, Manoj Pahwa, Neelu Kohli and Aurra Bhatnagar. Produced by Terribly Tiny Tales (TTT), the film will premiere on the streaming platform on November 5, 2026, and explores the emotional complexities of intergenerational relationships, family expectations and the meaning of home. The story follows Ansh Sikka, played by Mihir Ahuja, who returns home after years of working abroad. Having bought his middle-class Punjabi parents a new high-rise apartment, Ansh believes he has given them a better life. However, his homecoming during Diwali brings an unexpected realisation: upgrading a house does not necessarily change what makes it feel like home. As the Sikkas come together for the festival, their differing ideas of happiness and success lead to moments of humour, tenderness and emotional reflection. While Ansh wants to provide his parents with greater comforts, they remain attached to the memories and familiarity of their old life. The film explores the gap between a child's desire to give their parents the best and a parent's understanding of what truly matters. Written by Ritu Mago and directed by Ritesh Menon, Dilwali Diwali marks another collaboration between TTT and Netflix following Greater Kalesh and Musafir Cafe. Speaking about his character, Mihir Ahuja said, Anshs journey in Dilwali Diwali comes from a place of love. I think thats what makes the story so relatable. We all want to do the best for our families, but sometimes, in trying to give them more, we forget to understand what truly makes them happy. TTT has beautifully captured these nuances with humour and heart, and Im excited for audiences to experience the film on Netflix this Diwali and see a little bit of their own families in the Sikkas. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) Manoj Pahwa, who plays Anshs father, added, For a parent, home is never just about the walls, the furniture, or the address. Its about the memories youve built, the people youve shared your life with, and the little things that make a place your own. Children may have a different idea of what makes a good life, but the love behind both perspectives is the same. In Dilwali Diwali, TTT and Netflix bring this familiar generational dynamic to life in a way that is deeply heartfelt. I hope audiences enjoy watching this story with their families on Netflix this Diwali and find their own meaning of home in it. With its focus on family bonds and the emotional significance of home, Dilwali Diwali arrives on Netflix on November 5, offering a festive story centred on the idea that while a house can be upgraded, the feeling of home is something else altogether.

EXCLUSIVE: Sumo Didi becomes the first film to be shot at Japans Sumo Temple

Sumo Didi, which has been streaming on Hindi Zee 5 from October 23, brings to life the true story of Hetal Dave, Indias first professional female sumo wrestler, whose journey challenged conventions and redefined what it means to pursue ones dreams against all odds. Sumo Didi has made history by becoming the first film ever to be shot at Japans Sumo Temple, a location deeply rooted in the tradition and culture of sumo wrestling. For Hetal, seeing her story come alive at a place so closely connected to the sport carried a deeply personal significance, even though she is yet to visit Japan herself. It has always been my dream to visit Japan. I couldnt make it there yet, but I am so, so happy that my film did. Being connected to Japanese games all my life, it feels out of this world that my movie was shot in the Mecca of sumo wrestling. It also helps the film and my story connect with the traditions of the game. My film being shot in Japan is a blessing for me. One day, I will visit there and get to experience it myself, shared Hetal Dave. For the actor bringing her journey to life, filming at the same location offered an opportunity to understand the sport beyond the physical demands of the role. Shriyam Bhagnani, who plays Hetal in the film, had spent months preparing for the character before arriving in Japan. Filming in Japan, especially at a place so closely connected to the traditions of sumo, was an incredibly special experience. By that point, I had spent months training for the role, so being in an environment where the sport has such deep cultural roots gave everything a different meaning, said Shriyam. She added, Until then, much of my understanding had come from training and preparing for the character. Being surrounded by the sport in its own cultural context helped me appreciate that sumo is much more than a physical contest. It carries a history, a discipline and a set of traditions that have been preserved over generations. The film had real sumo wrestlers from across the world travelling to be a part of the shoot. Among them was a wrestler who held the top position in the sport at the time of filming. For Shriyam, the experience of filming in Japan also reinforced the responsibility of portraying Hetals story with authenticity and respect. As an actor, those experiences are invaluable because they allow you to absorb details that you might not consciously think about while performing, but that ultimately influence how you inhabit a character. It made me feel even more responsible for portraying Hetals journey with authenticity and respect, she explained. Bringing Hetals journey to life also required extensive preparation from Shriyam. Hetal personally trained the actor for 10 months before filming began, focusing on mastering sumo postures alongside broader physical training to help her embody the character convincingly. The preparation was essential to capturing not just the physical aspects of the sport, but also the discipline and dedication that shaped Hetals journey. Reflecting on what the experience meant to her, Shriyam said, More than anything, it was a reminder of how far Hetals journey had taken her and how extraordinary it was that we were bringing her story to the screen.

Bigg Boss 20: Love Gills team calls out toxic double standard after Kaashvi Hiranandani accuses her of trapping ScoutOP; says, She deserved justice, not a character assassination

The ongoing discussion around ScoutOP, Love Gill and Kaashvi Hiranandani took another turn during the latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 20, hosted by Rohit Shetty. Kaashvi, ScoutOPs girlfriend, confronted him about his growing physical closeness with Love inside the Bigg Boss house. Following the episode, Love Gills team issued a strongly worded statement defending the actress and addressing the criticism directed at her. During her interaction with ScoutOP, Kaashvi sarcastically asked him, How is the massage parlour going, Tanmay? The remark referred to his interactions with Love, including instances where he was seen massaging her feet, hands and neck. Kaashvi also told Scout that Love had allegedly trapped him, saying, Usne aapko phasaya hai aur aap phas gaye. She further expressed discomfort over the nature of their bond and said it appeared different from Scouts interactions with other housemates. According to her, the equation had also made members of her family uncomfortable. Love Gills team defends her Following the episode, Love Gills team released a statement strongly objecting to the criticism directed at her. The statement said the situation had left Loves family deeply distressed and questioned why she was being held responsible for Scouts feelings. The human heart can only take so much before silence becomes a scream. Watching Love Gill stand utterly alone tonight - defenseless while her entire character was torn to shreds on national television - was nothing short of agonizing. Her family is destroyed. Shattered into pieces, the statement read. The team also spoke about the impact of watching the controversy unfold from outside the Bigg Boss house, particularly for Loves family. Imagine being a mother, sitting at home, helpless as you watch the world ruthlessly vilify the daughter you raised. Imagine watching her take the blame for a man's uncurbed emotions, while opportunistic influencers and clout-chasers turn her pain into content for likes, views, and headlines, it added. Why is a grown man treated like a victim of hypnosis? According to Loves team, she had always considered Scout a brother and did not intend to cross that boundary. From day one, Loves boundaries were clear: Scout was a brother to her. Period. Yet, the moment a grown man blurred those boundaries and confessed his feelings, society executed its oldest, most toxic double standard: blame the woman, the statement said. It further questioned why Love was being portrayed as responsible for Scouts emotions. Why is a grown man treated like a victim of hypnosis, while a girl is painted as a calculated temptress? Why is she expected to carry the burden, the shame, and the humiliation for feelings she never asked for and never reciprocated? the team asked. Love shouldnt have to bleed to protect another womans fragile reality. She shouldnt have to surrender her dignity just because someone else lacks the courage to hold their own partner accountable, it stated. She deserved empathy, not cruelty Loves team went on to describe the episode as deeply humiliating for her and accused the public discourse around the situation of turning into an attack on her character. Love Gill didnt just stand there in silence tonight-she endured a public execution of her character. She deserved to be heard, respected, and protected. Instead, she was humiliated and sacrificed at the altar of public judgment, the statement read. The team concluded by reiterating its position that Love should not be held responsible for Scouts choices. No woman should ever have to pay for a mans choices. No family should ever have to watch their child be broken like this. Love Gill deserved empathy, not cruelty. She deserved justice, not a character assassination, the statement concluded. The development adds another layer to the ongoing discussion around ScoutOP and Love Gills equation inside the Bigg Boss 20 house, particularly after Kaashvis direct confrontation with Scout during Weekend Ka Vaar.

Is Ramayana benefiting from Adipurush's failure? The surprising advantage nobody is talking about

When Adipurush was released in June 2023, it was expected to be one of the biggest cinematic events of the year. Starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan, the Om Raut directorial attempted to bring the timeless story of the Ramayana to a new generation through modern visual effects and large-scale filmmaking. The expectations were enormous. So was the disappointment. Despite a massive opening, Adipurush faced widespread criticism over its visual effects, dialogues, characterisation and treatment of the source material. Its theatrical performance declined sharply after the initial enthusiasm, turning what was supposed to be a landmark cinematic event into a cautionary tale for the industry. Three years later, another ambitious adaptation of the same epic is preparing to arrive in cinemas. Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Part One, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi, is scheduled to release on November 5, 2026. The film has been mounted on an enormous scale and carries expectations that extend far beyond conventional box-office success. Interestingly, however, the failure of Adipurush might have given Ramayana an unexpected advantage. Could one film's disappointment have created the perfect opportunity for another to succeed? Adipurush proved that the audience was there One of the most important lessons from Adipurush is often overlooked. Despite the controversies that surrounded the film after its release, it generated enormous initial interest. Audiences turned up in large numbers during the opening weekend, demonstrating the tremendous curiosity surrounding a big-screen adaptation of the Ramayana. This is significant because Adipurush did not fail due to a lack of familiarity with its subject. On the contrary, the story was already deeply embedded in Indian culture. The film benefited from that recognition, along with Prabhas' popularity and the promise of a large-scale spectacle. The problem emerged when audiences began evaluating the execution. The criticism surrounding the visual effects, dialogues and creative choices suggested that familiarity with the source material was not enough to guarantee sustained commercial success. In other words, Adipurush demonstrated both the extraordinary potential and the considerable risks of adapting the Ramayana. And that is precisely why its failure could work in favour of Nitesh Tiwari's film. The audience now knows exactly what it doesn't want Before Adipurush, the makers of a modern Ramayana adaptation faced a difficult creative challenge. How should such a revered story be presented to contemporary audiences? How much creative liberty would viewers accept? Could modern dialogue and visual effects make the epic more accessible without compromising its emotional and cultural identity? The response to Adipurush offered some important clues. A section of the audience objected strongly to what it perceived as inappropriate dialogues, unconvincing visual effects and departures from familiar characterisations. These reactions were not necessarily representative of every viewer. However, their intensity demonstrated how deeply audiences care about the way these characters are portrayed. For the makers of Ramayana, this creates an opportunity. They have the benefit of observing the public response to another expensive adaptation of the same story. Of course, there is no public evidence that the makers have altered their creative approach specifically because of Adipurush. But the broader lessons are difficult to ignore. Sometimes, a competitor's failure can provide valuable information about what the market expects. From disappointment to redemption There is also an interesting psychological dimension to the situation. When audiences are disappointed by a film based on a beloved story, their attachment to that story does not necessarily disappear. In fact, disappointment can sometimes increase the desire to see the material adapted successfully. This is where Ramayana could benefit. A section of viewers who were dissatisfied with Adipurush may be particularly interested in discovering whether Nitesh Tiwari's film delivers the cinematic experience they had hoped for. The possibility of finally witnessing a visually impressive and emotionally satisfying adaptation could become an important part of the film's appeal. Why the casting could make a difference The casting of Ramayana also offers an interesting contrast. Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi portrays Sita and Yash takes on the role of Ravana. The film also features Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. Each actor brings a distinct screen image and audience following. However, the more important question is whether the performances will convince audiences that they are watching the characters rather than merely recognising the stars. This was one of the central challenges facing Adipurush, and it will remain equally relevant for Ramayana. The visual-effects challenge The scale of Ramayana has attracted considerable attention, particularly because of its association with Prime Focus Studios and DNEG. The involvement of a globally established visual-effects company raises expectations of a technically sophisticated production. But Adipurush demonstrated that spending heavily on visual effects does not automatically guarantee audience approval. The challenge is not merely to create spectacular imagery. It is to create a believable cinematic world in which the visual effects complement the performances and storytelling. Audiences must feel emotionally connected to Ayodhya, Lanka and the characters inhabiting these worlds. The film must ensure that spectacle serves the story rather than overwhelming it. Could Adipurush also become a disadvantage? There is another side to this argument. The failure of Adipurush may have made audiences more cautious about expensive mythological spectacles. Viewers who felt disappointed in 2023 could approach Ramayana with greater scepticism, particularly when it comes to visual effects, dialogues and the portrayal of revered characters. This means Nitesh Tiwari's film may face more scrutiny than it otherwise would have. Every major promotional asset could be examined closely. Comparisons with Adipurush may become inevitable, even if the two films differ significantly in their creative approach. Moreover, the immense expectations surrounding Ramayana create an additional challenge. Merely being better received than Adipurush would not be enough. Given the scale of the project, the film will need to establish its own identity and deliver an experience that justifies its ambitions. The real lesson from Adipurush The biggest takeaway from Adipurush is not that audiences have rejected mythological cinema. Rather, it is that the audience's attachment to a beloved story cannot be taken for granted. The familiarity of the Ramayana can generate extraordinary curiosity, but sustained box-office success requires compelling storytelling, convincing performances and strong word of mouth. This distinction is especially important for Ramayana, which is planned as a two-part cinematic event. The first instalment must not only succeed commercially but also establish sufficient audience confidence and emotional investment to sustain anticipation for the sequel. A spectacular opening weekend would be an achievement. But strong collections in the subsequent weeks would offer much more convincing evidence that the film has connected with viewers. Adipurush may have shown the industry what audiences did not want. Ramayana now has the opportunity to show them what they were waiting for. And if Nitesh Tiwari and his team manage to deliver on that promise, the disappointment of 2023 could become an unexpected chapter in one of Indian cinema's biggest success stories.

Bigg Boss 20: Kamya Punjabi SLAMS spineless Kaashvi Hiranandani for accusing Love Gill of manipulating ScoutOP; says, Stop pulling another woman down to save your man

The ongoing controversy surrounding ScoutOP, Love Gill and Kaashvi Hiranandani has sparked reactions outside the Bigg Boss 20 house as well. Actress Kamya Punjabi has now weighed in on the situation, questioning the narrative of blaming another woman over the actions and choices of a committed partner. The development comes after Kaashvi Hiranandani confronted ScoutOP during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode hosted by Rohit Shetty. Kaashvi, who is ScoutOPs girlfriend, questioned his growing closeness with Love inside the house and sarcastically asked him, How is the massage parlour going, Tanmay? She also accused Love of having trapped Scout, saying, Usne aapko phasaya hai aur aap phas gaye. Kamya Punjabi calls for accountability Reacting to the controversy on social media, Kamya criticised the idea of holding another woman responsible for the situation. She argued that if ScoutOPs bond with Kaashvi was genuine, he should have been the one to establish boundaries. If the bond was real, he would set boundaries, not cut ties. Blaming the other girl for manipulation just to protect your own committed partner is disgusting and small-minded, Kamya wrote. She further urged people to hold Scout accountable rather than targeting Love. Stop pulling another woman down to save your man. Hold him accountable! she added, ending the post with the hashtags #Spineless #SmallMinded. If the bond was real, he would set boundaries, not cut ties.

The statement accused critics of placing the blame on Love for Scouts emotions and described the situation as a toxic double standard.

Ranbir Kapoor says portraying Lord Rama in Ramayan was a huge responsibility: My first instinct was fear, the fear of whether I was worthy of it

Actor Ranbir Kapoor has said that portraying Lord Rama in the upcoming film Ramayana was not just a role but a profound responsibility. The actor also further admitted that his initial reaction to the offer was one of fear and self-doubt. The actor opened up about his journey of preparing for the role during a Diwali special episode of the popular quiz reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati, hosted by megastar Amitabh Bachchan. Reflecting on receiving the iconic role and his initial apprehensions, Ranbir Kapoor shared with host Amitabh Bachchan, Sir jab mujhe yeh role offer hua, main jaanta tha ki yeh sirf ek role nahi hai, yeh ek bahut badi zimmedari thi. Mera jo pehla instinct tha woh dar tha, fear tha, ki kya main iske kabil hoon, kya main yeh kar paunga, Prabhu Shri Ram se karodon logon ki aasta judi hui hai. (Sir, when I was offered this role, I knew that this was not just a role; it was a huge responsibility. My first instinct was fear, the fear of whether I was worthy of it and whether I would be able to do it. The faith of crores of people is associated with Lord Shri Ram) Describing how his initial anxiety transformed into deep gratitude, coinciding with a milestone personal chapter in his life, he continued, Par bahut jald sir yeh jo dar tha woh aabhar mein badla, ki mujhe is mukaam mein, at this age in my life, mujhe yeh opportunity mil rahi hai, ek achha actor banne ka... forget actor sir, ek acha insaan banne ka chance... Usi dauran sir, main pehli baar pita bana, meri beti Raha ka janam hua... To main yehi manta hoon ki it was a God's gift sir, ke mujhe ek behtar insaan banne ka mauka mila, gehraai se Ramayana ko samajhne ka mauka mila, in sab logon ke sath, beautiful logon ke sath kaam karne ka mauka mila.. (But very soon, sir, this fear turned into gratitude. At this stage in my life, at this age, I was getting the opportunity to become a good actor... forget being an actor, sir, a chance to become a good human being. During that same period, sir, I became a father for the first time, and my daughter Raha was born. So, I believe it was a gift from God, sir, that I got the opportunity to become a better human being, to understand Ramayana more deeply, and to work with all these people, these beautiful people) View this post on Instagram A post shared by sonytvofficial (@sonytvofficial) Concluding his heartfelt thoughts on imbibing the values of the epic, Ranbir added, Sir hum Prabhu Shri Ram ke jaisa banna to sambhav nahin hai, lekin unki aadarshon se kuch sikhna I think is a big thing for all of us, so (Sir, becoming like Lord Shri Ram may not be possible, but I think learning something from his ideals is a big thing for all of us) Ranbir's reflections highlighted the personal and spiritual significance of portraying Lord Rama, underlining how the role offered him an opportunity for introspection and personal growth.

Sai Pallavi on playing Sita in Ramayana: I did not want to use my mind too much

Sai Pallavi has opened up about her approach to playing Sita in the upcoming film Ramayana, revealing that she wanted to surrender herself to the role rather than approach it with preconceived notions. She said she hoped to understand the wisdom the character could offer her through the experience. Pallavi, along with co-stars Ranbir Kapoor and Ravi Dubey, appeared on the sets of the popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. During the interaction, the actors spoke about their experiences of being part of the film and what went through their minds when they were offered their respective roles. Welcoming the three actors to the show, Bachchan expressed his pleasure at having them on the sets and said, Aap teeno ko aaj yahan swagat karke, hamare liye bade garv ki baat hai. Garv ki baat yeh bhi hai ki aaj aap jis film ke baare mein charcha karenge, uske baare mein hum aur saari jaankari jaanna chahenge. Ek baar fir, main aap sab logon ka bahut-bahut dhanyavaad deta hoon.. (It is a matter of great pride for us to welcome all three of you here today. It is also a matter of pride that we will get to discuss the film you are working on today and learn more about it. Once again, I thank all of you very much) The host then asked the actors about their initial reactions when the filmmakers approached them for their respective characters. Addressing Pallavi first, he asked, Aap logon ne alag-alag bhumikayein nibhayi hain. Jab ye teeno bhumikayein aapko bataayi gayi, nirmata-nirdeshak ki taraf se, toh aapke man mein kya chal raha tha? Ladies first.. (You have all portrayed different roles. When the producers and director told you about these three roles, what was going through your minds? Ladies first) View this post on Instagram A post shared by sonytvofficial (@sonytvofficial) Responding to the question, Pallavi explained that playing Sita was a different experience from her previous acting assignments. She said, Main is baar dimag use nahi karna chahti thi... par maine socha jab bhi main ek character play karti hoon, main sochti hoon ki main kya kar sakti hoon woh character ke liye, par ye pehle baar mujhe laga ki main Sita Maa ke paatra ko play karke mujhe kya milega wahan se, mujhe kya gyaan milega, mujhe kya milega (This time, I did not want to use my mind too much. But then I thought, whenever I play a character, I usually think about what I can do for that character. But for the first time, while playing the role of Sita Maa, I found myself wondering, What will I receive from this experience? What knowledge will I gain? What will I take away from it?) She further explained that she wanted to approach the character with faith and remain open to what the experience might teach her. Elaborating on her thought process, she said, Toh main kitna bhi jaanti hoon, utna main transparent rakhna chahti thi... main apne aap ko kuch sochna nahi chahti thi, sirf prarthana karke, maa aap mere dwara woh paatra nibhayi, aise bol diya, bas.. (So, whatever I knew, I wanted to keep it that transparent. I didnt want to let myself think too much about anything. I simply prayed and said, Mother, please let me play that role through me, and left it at that) Bachchan appreciated Pallavi's response, acknowledging the thought behind her approach to the character. He said, Bahut achhi baat kahi aapne, bahut achhi baat kahi.. (Youve made a very good point; a very good point indeed.) The conversation offered a glimpse into Pallavi's preparation for portraying Sita, a revered figure in Indian mythology, and the faith and introspection she hopes to bring to the role in Ramayana. The Kaun Banega Crorepati Diwali Special will air on October 29 and 30 at 9 PM on Sony Entertainment Television. Also Read : Ramayanas Mangal Rang out now!

Before Ranbir Kapoor, only THIS actor has played Lord Rama and Lord Parshurama in the same project

Filmmaker Nitesh Tiwaris Ramayana is one of the most keenly-awaited films of recent times. This can be seen from how it has been in the news ever since it was announced. The movies strong advance booking, as reported by Bollywood Hungama, is also proof of it. Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, as we all know. But this isnt the only character he is playing in the film. As seen in the first trailer and confirmed by him later, he is also playing Lord Parshurama in the movie. This is a rare feat as there is only actor in the history of Indian entertainment to do that before him. The reason for Rama and Parshurama crossing paths was Goddess Sitas Swayamvar. As per the rules of the Swayamvar laid down by Sitas father King Janaka, the person who would break the Shiv Dhanush (bow of Lord Shiva) would be eligible to marry his daughter. Of all the kings and princes present at the Swayamvar, only Rama is able to break the bow. Hence, he and Sita are married off. However, an angry Parshurama enters the scene. As he is an ardent devotee of Shiva, he is offended to see the bow being broken. This is when Rama and Parshurama, both avatars of Vishnu, come face-to-face. The trailer of Ramayana features this moment briefly. Veteran actor Nitish Bharadwaj, known for playing Lord Krishna in BR Chopras classic television show Mahabharat (1988), is that actor who played both Rama and Parshurama in the same project. He did that in the TV show Vishnu Puran (2000), which was also made by BR Chopra. On one hand, he played the calm and composed Prince of Ayodhya while on the other, he managed to pull off an angry Parshurama. Nitish Bharadwaj, however, didnt stop at playing Rama and Parshurama in Vishnu Puran. As per the format of the show, he, along with Vishnu, also played his other avatars like Vamana and Krishna. How Ranbir has performed the face off scene between the two avatars of Vishnu will be known only once Ramayana releases on November 5. As Bharadwajs feat was for TV, Ranbir is the only actor to achieve this in a feature film.

Anup Soni shares BTS clips from Shaque: Trust No One that did not make the final cut: There can be a little disappointment when

Actor Anup Soni has shared a glimpse of action sequences featuring his character Khurana Saab from Shaque: Trust No One that did not make it into the final version of the Netflix series.

He acknowledged the time, effort and resources required to create such scenes, highlighting the contributions of the various departments involved in filmmaking. A lot of thought, time, effort and resources go into creating these sequences, with the writers, director, action choreographers, actors, cinematographer, producer and the entire crew contributing to the process, he added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ANUP SONI (@anupsoni3) The actor also spoke about the disappointment that can come with seeing a filmed sequence left out of the final version. However, he noted that the decision ultimately depends on what works best for the story. There can be a little disappointment when a sequence doesnt make the final cut, but filmmaking is about the larger picture, and sometimes, leaving something out serves the story better. Its all part of the process, Anup wrote. He also acknowledged Vicky Arora and tagged the accounts of the people and teams involved in the sequences. The actor concluded his post by encouraging viewers who had not watched the series to stream it on Netflix. Shaque: Trust No One is a Hindi mystery thriller series released on Netflix in 2026. The story follows Anvita, played by Parineeti Chopra in her series debut, whose newborn daughter is abducted from a hospital. Nine years later, Anvita continues to search for her child while receiving anonymous birthday photographs that show the girl growing up. As new leads emerge, Anvita begins questioning the people closest to her, gradually uncovering secrets surrounding her daughters disappearance.

Malhotra, the series also features Jennifer Winget, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Soni Razdan, Sumeet Vyas, Harleen Sethi, Dhruv Chaudhary and Anup Soni.

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli attend Krishna Das Kirtan in Mumbai; videos of couple chanting the bhajans go viral

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli recently stepped away from the public spotlight to attend a devotional music gathering in Mumbai. The couple was spotted at a live kirtan led by renowned American devotional singer Krishna Das, whose performances blend traditional Indian bhajans with soulful musical arrangements. Videos of the couple participating in the spiritual gathering have since surfaced on social media, drawing attention from fans. Krishna Das, who has received Grammy nominations for his work, has built a global following through his renditions of devotional chants. During his India visit, the singer attracted devotees to his performances, with Anushka and Virat among those attending the Mumbai gathering. Seated close to the stage, the couple appeared immersed in the atmosphere, clapping and chanting along as the harmonium and devotional music filled the venue. Dressed in comfortable, understated outfits, the two were seen swaying gently to the rhythm of the chants. Their participation in the gathering resonated with fans online, with several social media users appreciating their unassuming presence and continued interest in spirituality. The couples appearance at Krishna Das kirtan is part of a spiritual journey they have embraced over the years. Anushka and Virat have attended the devotional singers gatherings on previous occasions, including events in Mumbai and London. Over the years, the couple has undertaken visits to several religious destinations across India. They have also sought spiritual guidance on multiple occasions. Their repeated visits to such places have kept their spiritual interests in the public conversation, even as they maintain a relatively private personal life. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Manav Manglani (@manav.manglani) Despite being among India's most prominent celebrity couples, Anushka and Virat have increasingly focused on creating a peaceful environment for their family. The two have spent a considerable amount of time in London, where they have sought greater privacy while raising their children, daughter Vamika and son Akaai, away from constant media attention. Meanwhile, Anushka has maintained a relatively low profile on the professional front, limiting her appearances largely to select brand endorsements and promotional commitments. The actress has taken a step back from regular film assignments as she embraces motherhood and spends more time with her family. For now, her appearance at Krishna Das kirtan offers another glimpse into the quieter life she and Virat appear to be prioritising. Between family commitments, spiritual gatherings and time away from the demands of celebrity life, the couple continues to draw attention for a lifestyle that extends beyond their respective professional achievements.
