Previously, while taking a dig at Munawar, Anurag had opened up about his ladylove and shared, “I am not Munawar that I will say something outside the house and then give an entirely different statement inside the house. I have respected that girl inside the house and I will continue doing so even now. Not everyone is like Munawar." About Anurag Dobhal’s Bigg Boss journey YouTuber Anurag Dobhal, who was seen in Bigg Boss 17, in an explosive vlog revealed that he had thoughts of self-harm after he was evicted from the show as the makers didn’t let him meet his family. He said, “I didn’t know that if I express myself, it would backfire like this and Salman sir, who is the host of the show, wouldn’t like to talk to me. I can’t tell you how lonely you feel when the entire house, show, Bigg Boss and even Salman sir is against you.” “I was just begging for my reputation and the reputation of my Bro Sena,” he said in the over 30-minute-long video. Let me know if you'd like a short summary or headline for this!

Following this, ACP Ayushman warns Pradyuman: “Aapke CID team me ek gaddar hai, jo aapko maarna chahta hai. Shak sabhi par hai, sir, lekin nishana sirf ek hai – wo hai aap."

Later, Sony TV also confirmed ACP’s death in a social media post. After the recent episode of CID aired, the channel’s official page put out a post for the beloved character ACP Pradyuman and extended their condolences with “Rest in peace” written on it.

01 May,2025 04:56 PM IST | Mumbai | Shachi ChaturvediEvery year, several prominent actors' names surface on the Bigg Boss tentative contestant list, and Rithvikk Dhanjani consistently remains one of the top contenders. While fans and the Bigg Boss audience are often left disappointed when he doesn't make the final cut, 2024 appeared to be the year that would break the pattern.

At the moment, we are figuring out what makes her giggle, reach out, and stay curious - and let’s be honest, also what doesn’t end up in her mouth in under 3 seconds...Here are a few of Leela’s current favorite toys - would love to know what your little ones are loving too."

29 April,2025 03:16 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSThere is very little that Vijayendra Kumeria has not done in television. From playing supporting characters to the antagonist and the lead, he has explored it all. Despite being in the industry since 2011, the actor says monotony has never struck him because he has been lucky enough to get roles with plenty of layers. “My character always evolves with the story. [In Jagriti—Ek Nayi Subah], I started out as an anti-hero, but now he has turned positive. When I was doing Udaan, it was a hardcore negative role, then he transformed. In Mose Chhal Kiye Jaaye, I played the antagonist till the end. This breaks the monotony because I tend to get bored with vanilla characters,” says the actor, adding that he ensures all his characters have a spark without going over the top. Two months ago, Kumeria, who had just wrapped up Deewaniyat, was roped in to play the lead role of Suraj Thakur in Jagriti. The response, he says, has been positive so far. “The show is being received well, the TRPs have improved after the leap. I am happy with the performance of the show,” says Kumeria. While the offer had him hooked, the reason he says he took it up was the flawless script. “Rarely do you get scripts where you don’t have to make last-minute changes on set while shooting. Jagriti is one script where the storyline is proper and logical without loopholes.” Besides being consistent on set, Kumeria, who is also a producer, says his experience behind the camera has taught him never to waste time. “Acting has always been my first love, but I have explored producing, and would also love to direct someday. Although, it is much easier being an actor because you only have to concentrate on your performance. As a producer, one has to take care of the set, finances, production team, and the artistes. It’s a difficult process to wear the producer’s hat. A minute wasted is a loss for the producer. That is why I come early on set, finish my make-up, and avoid taking retakes. I am a producer’s actor.”
29 April,2025 07:32 AM IST | Mumbai | Letty Mariam AbrahamTelevision actor Gulki Joshi, who rose to prominence with her shows Phir Subah Hogi and Nadaan Parindey Ghar Aaja, recalled the time when she was nearly molested outside an event where she presented an award to cricket star MS Dhoni. In a recent conversation, the actress talked about how security had to intervene to save her from the crowd. Gulki recalls a visit to Ranchi During her chat with Filmymantra, Gulki recalled the incident that happened in her and MS Dhoni's hometown, Ranchi, during IPL, where she visited to present an award to him. The actress shared that her show Nadaan Parindey was running successfully, and because of its popularity, she was invited to attend an event. ‘I was completely mobbed’- Gulki While remembering her visit, Gulki Joshi recalled the horrific incident and shared, "As soon as I stepped outside, I was completely mobbed by a crowd. Mobbed to the level of being scared. It wasn’t just excitement — it became physically overwhelming to the point where I genuinely felt threatened." ‘I could be molested right there’- Gulki Recalling how the situation escalated, she added, "Amid the pushing, shoving, and chaos, the horrifying thought crossed my mind that I could be molested right there in the crowd. Thankfully, security personnel intervened at the right moment. Just as things were spiralling out of control, the security team arrived and somehow managed to pull me out of the mob. They whisked me away to safety. But the fear lingered. It shook me. That was the only time I’ve ever truly been afraid of the crowd, of the people.” Gulki on meeting MS Dhoni Gulki was invited to present an award to Dhoni, and while everything else about that trip gives her chills, meeting the former captain of the Indian cricket team was special for her. Talking about meeting Dhoni, Gulki shared, "When I met Mr. Dhoni, he was everything you’d hope a hero to be — humble, warm, and grounded. Even though he must have been exhausted after the match, he patiently met every fan, smiled, took pictures, and made everyone feel special. In that moment, I realised what true talent is. No arrogance, no drama — just pure, unfiltered humility. It really stayed with me. It reminded me that real talent shines the brightest when it’s combined with real humility."
28 April,2025 05:10 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentThe latest episode of the adventure reality show ‘MTV Roadies’, is set to see an unprecedented vote out session. This time, even one vote is enough to knock the contestant out of the show. With emotions running wild, alliances breaking, betrayals peaking and a task that’ll test both brains and bluffing skills, this vote out is the moment of the season. After the intense verbal war between Prince and Elvish, the camp wakes up to a fresh day, but the tension is still thick in the air. There’s no breathing room as Rannvijay drops the next task, ‘Bluff and Tuff’. And this one’s got it all, strength, strategy, and a masterclass in manipulation. In this task, the Roadies formed alliances, but with five gangs now in the mix and Gang Leaders still fuming from the last episode’s showdowns, it’s unclear who will ally and who will attack. Each alliance will choose seven performers, one powerhouse with strength, one brainiac to catch bluff and five bluffmasters. The physical battle begins with the hamster wheel, as two opposing strength players go head-to-head, dragging a giant cage towards their end. Once reached, the intelligent contestant enters a pit where only instincts can guide them, because what lies beneath each bluffmaster could be immunity, Roadiums… or a penalty! The right calls here could shape the entire vote out that follows. The best performer walks away with a secret advantage for the vote-out. The intense task will be followed by vote-outs. Amidst all the madness, comes a deeply emotional moment. Neha said, “Guys I promised you we’ll create history, so here we are! Yahan pe pichle 5 saalon se mai kaam kar rahi hoon, then I was not on ‘MTV Roadies’, so much happened in my life, I went and had personal growth, I came back and I was excited to be on the journey”. The camp falls silent. Contestants are stunned. Rannvijay is moved. This isn’t just a vote out. It’s a culmination of journeys, emotions, and years of Roadies legacy. ‘MTV Roadies’ is available on MTV and JioHotstar. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

27 April,2025 02:57 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSActor Shubhangi Atre's ex-husband, Piyush Poorey, recently passed away after suffering from liver cirrhosis. Now, days after his demise, Atre talked about the reason for their separation and shared that Piyush was an alcohol addict. Shubhangi parted ways with Piyush in February this year. Shubhangi Atre on divorce with Piyush In conversation with Times of India, Shubhangi shared that she spoke to Piyush on April 16 and said, "It's easy for people to judge without knowing the full story. They assume I left him due to my success, but that's not true. Our separation was a result of years of struggle. I didn't leave because I became successful, I left because his alcohol addiction took a toll on our lives. I tried everything I could to save my marriage, but it was beyond my control. Even sending him to rehab didn't work. Both our families also tried their best to help him, but addiction destroyed him and affected all of us." Shubhangi Atre talks about her daughter "I had to prioritise my daughter Ashi's well-being, so I made the difficult decision to part ways. It wasn't a decision made overnight. Things started going wrong around 2018–2019, and it eventually led to the divorce in 2025. Even after our divorce, I remained in touch with Piyush and encouraged him to seek help," Shubhangi shared while talking about her daughter Ashi. About Shubhangi & Piyush’s divorce Shubhangi and Piyush’s divorce was finalised in February this year, ending their 22-year marriage. The couple, who tied the knot in 2003, share a daughter named Ashi, born in 2006. They had been separated for a year before their divorce was legally granted. Shubhangi Atre's work front She will soon be making her Bollywood debut with a film on Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain in which she plays Angoori Bhabhi. Talking about entering B-town, Shubhangi said, "I am an actor and an artist, and no matter what the medium is, whether it’s TV, films, OTT, or theatre, I believe in giving my 100% with full dedication and discipline. Of course, Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain! is now being made into a film, so the work is quite similar to what we do on television. But still, there is a different kind of nervousness and excitement."
26 April,2025 06:03 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentTelevision actress Dalljiet Kaur opened up about balancing life as a producer, actor, and a single mother during an exclusive interaction with IANS. When asked how different is production from acting, Dalljiet told IANS, "It is very difficult. As an actor, the only worry is to perform well, but as a producer, the responsibility is to make a good product." Sharing if she was enjoying this newfound journey, she shared, "Oh absolutely. After twenty years of working in our industry, I realised I want to get into more than just acting as the learning of so many years need to come together. It is not easy, but it’s a challenge I am willing to take." Dalljiet was further asked how she finds time for her son Jaydon given her busy schedule. Reacting to this, the actress went on to reveal, "I have shifted to Pune. So it gives me an ample amount of non-diluted time with Jaydon. We spend a lot of quality time together. He is doing exceptionally well in school. He has found love in tennis and drums and that makes me very happy. We both are holding our hands through everything and soon we will have everything figured out." She further answered the question, 'How 2025 been so far and how's life shaping up?" Dalljiet reacted saying, "Life is coming together. God has been kind. I have got so much love and support. It’s been a challenge starting everything again. But it is what it is and every day it is picking a piece together and putting it back." Speaking about her work lineup, Dalljiet said, "My 'Katha Vachak' episodes are airing every Saturday, where I host a mythological show showcasing a known character of our history. Also, you can see me soon on 'Nidar E Ishq' opposite Iqbal Khan. We have come together after 'Choona Hai Aasman'. It’s a hard-hitting story. This was one of the initial stories written by me."
