With Chhath puja the festive season ended in the country. The festival is called "Mahaparv" in Bihar and "Sarabhai vs Sarabhai" actor Rajesh Kumar was lucky to do it last year. He even shared a pic on his social media account and talking about it said, "It was my first Chhath puja. My mother has been doing Chhath for 53 years now and this is one of the toughest fast anyone can keep."  "Women fast without consuming water in Karwa Chauth for 14-16 hours, but in Chhath people fast without water for 36 hours. So last year, when I did it for the first time, it was very tough. It was really difficult to be without even a single drop of water, but it's the test of your will-power, it's the test of the purity of the festival. So, when I got the chance, I took it because I got a chance to celebrate it with my mother, so the whole intention was that and I also wanted to know what the festival is. And I got to know it is 'mahaparv' be...

At a time when everyone is obsessed with likes and hits, singer Rina Charaniya, who has performed songs like "Phir mulaqaat", "Judaa", and "Aaja", is looking for a connection with her audience. She asserted, "As a singer, I don't want my songs to have 100 million views, I want people to listen to it and connect with it. For me, music should be evergreen, like 90s music, which you can hear anytime." She also emphasised that music has never been a business for her and she wants her music to leave an everlasting impression on the audience.  "These days people are making a lot of music, but there are very few songs which leave a lasting impression on the audience, and I want to make that kind of music, even if it is not forever, then at least 10 years or so. So I make fewer songs because I take up projects personally. And it's never been a business for me, it's my passion and I need to first connect with the music to take...

We spoke to Nikkhil Arya, who knows the two well, and he said, ”I knew a few contestants in the Bigg Boss house this season, which is why I started watching it.  In the past seasons, I think one could pinpoint some contestants right at the beginning and say that they would reach the finale, but this year, there are people who play well for a week and then go back into their cocoon." Speaking of Eijaz Khan and Kavita Kaushik, who have been at loggerheads inside the Bigg Boss house, Nikkhil says, ”I'm sure both know what they are doing.

We often love seeing our favourite actors dancing to peppy Bollywood numbers during starry award nights. But how many of us, go beyond the actors and notice the background dancers, who in all probability, are more enthusiastic than the actors? Choreographer Rajit Dev, who is known for his work in the songs ‘Pachtaoge’ and ‘Tehas Nehas’, says that these dancers need to be cherished more. “I became a choreographer because I worked as a dancer for a good 10 years and assisted for 5 years. I’m proud to be a dancer. From the age 18, I’ve travelled to so many countries that no other profession offers. There are a lot of good things that you get by being a dancer in Bollywood. But there are few things that should change for dancers. Starting from the hygiene on the sets, dressing room. This is in a very bad condition during stage events. I believe dancers are as talented as any actor so they should not be looked down upon. In fact, the next time, after an award show, you should thank the danc...

Straight out of Bigg Boss 14 house & after the release of his debut song, ‘Hold My Hand’, Shehzad Deol is back with the release of his next musical outing with Nimrat Khaira, titled ‘Gulabi Rang.’  Said to be a peppy number, Shehzad says, “I am sure it’s going to do really well as the wedding season is approaching all across the country.” When asked about the significance of Gulabi in the name of the song, Shehzad revels, “the song is about a girl asking her Bhabhi about a guy who’s throwing pink colored, 2000 rupee notes and dancing in the Baarat.

We have seen Jasmin Bhasin in Khatron Ke Khiladi and the way she used to perform all the tasks was mind-blowing. This bravado continues in the house of Bigg Boss. Jasmin has showcased immense strength during the tasks. Regardless of whether she was against Nikki Tamboli, Eijaz Khan or Rahul Vaidya, Jasmin has always given her best. In this week’s captaincy task the former captains were asked to sit and stay in a box in the garden area for as long as they can. This was a test of their endurance.   Aly Goni was the first to leave the box because of his claustrophobia. Then, Pavitra Punia, who was representing Eijaz Khan, got out. That leaves only Jasmin and Kavita still in the task. None of them were willing to give up that easily and, as a result, the task continued for more than 24 hours. Then, Bigg Boss had to interfere and they asked Sanchalak Rahul Vaidya to make the final verdict on who won the task.   Rahul decided that Kavita Kaushik has won the tas...

In a world that was obsessed with saas-bahu sagas and kitchen politics, Rajan Shahi brought a new wave. Be it his "Sapna Babul Ka...Bidaai", or "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata hai", "Anupamaa", or even his Marathi show "Aai Kuthe Kaay Karte", all his shows have brought new flavours and new stories to the audience which also in a way brought them close to their roots and values. But his recent Instagram posts have left us guessing, we wonder what he is hinting at. In his social media post, he shared a pic of with Shivangi Joshi and Mohsin Khan aka Kartik and Naira of "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai", and captioned it as, "BACK TO MUMBAI AFTER LONG #REJUVINATED RECHARGED AND SUPER HAPPY WITH MY FAVOURITE "JODI" KAIRA BY MY SIDE #TIME TO EXPLORE NEW HORIZONS WITH U BOTH SOON#BEST OF LUCK YRKKH AND DKP TEAM# THU THU THU."

Who doesn't know about Jasmin Bhasin and Aly Goni's friendship? The duo met during their stint in the stunt reality show "Khatron Ke Khiladi", and have been best of friends ever since. They are now participating in the popular show "Bigg Boss", and while the former has been in the show since day one, the latter entered as a wild card entry in the fourth week of the show. Aly has been very clear that he wants his BFF to win the show, and even his sister, Ilham Goni, said that whether Aly or Jasmin wins, it will be the same for her.       She also said that they both are equal for her and even she wants Jasmin to take the trophy home.  "When Aly was going inside the house, he told me, 'Ilham I am not going to win the show, that's not my priority. I am going so that I can be my real self and I can guide her also in the right way, but when it comes to winning, I would always love Jasmin to win. I am not in competition with her.' But ...

The world now knows about Aly Goni and Jasmin Bhasin's friendship, and the former's entry in "Bigg Boss" to support his friend speaks a lot about the strong bond that they share. So it was obvious that he will go out of his way to support her in the captaincy task. Only the four former captains - Jasmin, Aly, Kavita Kaushik, and Eijaz Khan - were supposed to participate in the task. It was the famous Box Task of the reality show to test for how long a contestant can stay inside the box while the ones outside tried to disturb them. Once Aly came out of the box, he went all out to support Jasmin. Though he tried to disturb the other contestants, his first priority was to save Jasmin from any outside interference. Aly gave his best in saving Jasmin, but unfortunately, sanchalak Rahul Vaidya announced Kavita as the winner. However, Aly seemed really happy as Jasmin gave her best in the task. He also went and congratulated Kavita for becoming the new captain. T...

Bold content, they say, is the need of the hour, especially on the web. However, Vivian Dsena disagrees. The actor, who was last seen in the show Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, says that he will not do any scenes that make him uncomfortable. “Being bold in web series or having such sequence is not necessary. At the end of the day, content, storyline and performances matter. As far as I go, I have been part of this industry for a decade now and makers are aware of what I will do and what I will not. They have always respected my wishes. Also, just because I am the hero, doesn’t mean I will roam around topless in scenes,” he says, adding, “It’s all about the understanding that the actor and the makers share. If they know I am uncomfortable about something, they won’t make me do it.”  The actor is yet to be seen in a web series. “I am waiting for a series which has a strong concept. The ones I have been offered till now were lacking in that area. I don’t want an overdramat...

Producer Yash Patnaik of Beyond Dreams Entertainment talks about his show Ishq Mein Marjawan 2, apprehensions of launching a second season, and the choice of actors. Read on:    Q) Ishq Mein Marjawan 2 keeps trending online, how much that means to you? A) It does mean a lot. Unlike TVR, the online response comes with reactions that help us understand how the audience is receiving the characters and tracks. Though the online audience is smaller in size in comparison to TV audiences, they matter a lot to us, as they are young, responsive, and evolved. Almost all our shows have done very well online apart from generating good numbers with traditional TV audiences. That's heartwarming. Q) Was Ishq Mein Marjawan 2's success predictable for you? A) Saying the success was predictable will be arrogance. I will say, we got things right again. It was a difficult franchise as we were not carrying forward any of the characters. It was a gamble worth taking.  Q) What fasci...

Vijayendra Kumeria: It's true that there has been an impact on the television viewership in the last few years as a lot of people have shifted to the digital medium for entertainment on demand. But still, there is a big household viewership which is relying on their television for entertainment. The numbers, of course, will change further in the coming years but television will not be a forgotten medium of entertainment anytime soon. I have been fortunate enough that my family had a television set even before I was born but I still remember that it had a very few channels and used to work on an antenna and dish mechanism. When we got a new TV, it had around 100 channel option and we all used to say that it's such a waste as there max 15 channels that were broadcasting. But now, look at the scenario, we don’t even know how many channels exist.   Delnaaz Irani: Television was and is and will be the most precious thing for people. Yes, the Internet is here and you can ...

Rajan Shahi's "Anupamaa" is a mirror to the society which believed that a woman's job is only in the kitchen, and her identity is restricted to her home. And Anupamaa's new avatar is not just setting examples but is also pushing women to go out there and conquer the world because the sky is the limit.  But the show has done much more than talking about woman empowerment, so much so that the fan base is not restricted to just women, but even men and children love to watch the show.   Rupali Ganguly's character Anupamaa has definitely given the much-needed confidence and strength to women and has also made the men and children acknowledge the efforts a woman puts in her house. Though Sudhanshu Pandey's character Vanraj is shown in a bad light, it gives the audience moral enlightenment. In a way, it is also teaching a lesson to all those men who think it's their birthright to dominate and overpower women. It is also a big learning lesson for k...
