Kavitta Verma, who has been part of movies such as Sanjay Dutt’s “Policegiri”, "Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laaddoo Deewana" believes attacking the entertainment industry for being the breeding ground of depression is "redundant". Kavitta says she fails to understand why cleansing of energies and mental health is treated as a separate issue. She says it is important to love ourselves. Like how we clean our body, even the mind needs to be cleansed by getting rid of negative thought patterns and it’s an everyday task. We live in a challenging atmosphere or circumstances. Body, mind and soul are entwined so we need to take care of each aspect,” she adds. She believes restricting the issue of depression only for the entertainment industry is uncalled for. “Depression and a morbid mindset can be of anyone so targeting a particular industry or set of people is being redundant,” she says. “Unfavorable circumstances can be in anybody's life. The entertainment indus

Actress Pallavi Rao, who is currently seen in "Pandya Store", has been a part of the TV industry for over a decade now, and admitted that it has changed drastically over the years. Sharing her views on the same, he said, "The people who have been here for a long time would have seen growth. The kind of money that is involved in today’s times as compared to before is completely different. The kind of shows that were made earlier on DD and other channels, there was different budgeting, but in today’s times it goes over the top."  "They do outdoor shoots now, go to different locations, that has never happened earlier. Even I went to Siddhpur for 'Shubharambh' and Bikaner for "Pandya Store" to give a realistic feel, and it gives a boost to the region and promotes it too. So I feel the television industry has seen massive growth and I find this growth very positive," the "Kulfi Kumar Bajewala" actress added. What about th

Producer and actor Ajay Kumar Singh, who is currently shooting for the Tamil and Telugu version of the adaptation of Spanish film Julia’s Eyes, has lost 20 kilos to get into the role of a cop. Ajay is also producing the multi-lingual film in Marathi, Bengali, Tamil and Telugu. Interestingly in all the films Ajay is playing the character of a police officer. This film is being directed by famous cinematographer Kabir Lal. Ajay says,”I was selected for the role by the director himself. I was also asked to lose weight. In 3 months I have lost 20 kilos. I have done intermediate fasting religiously. I only used to drink warm water during those times. Everyday I used to walk. Weight loss was a challenge for me but I took it because I realised to wear a police uniform you need to have a certain personality.” Ajay shares,”Weight loss definitely helped me to get into my character more deeply. I love the craft of acting and I want to act more. Seeing myself in police uniform is a different exper

Actor Prashant Bajaj, best known for shows like “Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah”, “Ayushmann Bhava”, says mental peace is necessary in life and that there are ways to overcome mental health issues. In life, Prashant says one must find ways to stay happy as nothing matters more, not even financial stability. “Anything that’s leads to suicide is a deep case of mental health. This is a life given by god and anything which is good for you will fall in place so don’t over think much and try to be happy in whatever you have got as there are many people who don’t even get three time’s food at least you are blessed to get food on time,” Prashant says. He asserts a good mental health always keeps a person in peace. “People must realize the importance of mental health before the situation worsens. I have seen people with lots of money but they don’t have mental peace and are not happy,” he observes. The talented actor thinks the entertainment industry is targeted with respect to grav

Sirat of Rajan Shahi's "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai" is always surrounded by problems. Just when she feels things are going to be fine, a new crisis comes in her way. Though she agreed to come to the Goenka's villa on Kartik's request, many in the family are not too fond of her. Kartik's father Manish and his Dadi doubt her intentions so much so that the former even called her a gold-digger. Upset with such remark, Sirat is practising boxing out of anger, but Kartik tries to calm her down. Later we see that Riya, who is trying her best to get rid of Sirat, comes up with a plan and accuses Mawdi and Sirat of stealing Naira's ring. This makes Kartik really angry. However, Manish had overheard Mawdi and Sirat talking that they will do anything to get their home back and agrees with Riya on this. As luck would have it, when Sirat tries to stop Riya from making such accusations, she accidentally slaps Manish. This upsets Kartik further an

 Social media has a lot of positive as well as negative sides, says Ruthvik Reddy. The actor, who will be making his acting debut with National Award winner Arun Shankar’s new single titled Hum, says that while social media is a great way for actors to connect with their fans and vice versa, it also provides a platform for people to troll public figures. “There is no doubt that social media has revolutionized everyone’s lives in this era. Social media has wiped the distance between a star and fan. Fans can have direct access to the star that they like. Not just follow actors, people can have direct interactions with them as well. But social media also gives the power to people, who follow actors, to say negative things about them in public. Vicious trolling by insensitive people has become an extremely common thing today and has the power to disturb the peace of mind and the confidence of actors,” he says.  He adds, “Everything has its positives and negatives, which cannot

Actor Sidharrth Sipani, who came to fame with the television show Zindagi Ki Mehek, talks about his unconditional love for animals.

I have rescued so many puppies and adult dogs from the road and given them for adoption. Animals are my world.”  During the nationwide lockdown last year, when stray animals were hugely affected because they had no food to eat Sidharrth took a very good initiative. He says,”I was at home in Assam and I found there were many monkeys and cows unfed. I started feeding them and also made a cowshed. After a while monkeys used to come to my home and wait for me to give them food. The whole experience of loving animals is very pure and it gives me a lot of satisfaction. At my Delhi house, I have 3 dogs - Bebo, Bullet and Myyash and in Assam, I have two - Candy and Lail

While her parents were out looking for her, a heartbroken Pakhi soon realised that this was the stupidest thing she has done.

Once Anupamaa sensed that Pakhi is in the car, both Vanraj and Anupamaa ran behind it, and soon they were stopped by a police van.

Rajan Shahi's "Anupamaa" has been topping the TRP charts since the day it went on-air. It's not just because it is different from the normal saas-bahu sagas, or because it's the story of a housewife, the show is doing so well because the makers in a very simple yet beautiful way have tried to break social norms. And in the upcoming episode they will be breaking another stigma set by the society. In the recent episode we saw that Pakhi left her home because she felt nobody loved her anymore.

This changed behaviour led her to leave the house too, so before it could cause any more damages, Vanraj and Anupamaa decide to take her to a ps

Actor Avinash Mukherjee, who is part of the show Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, is not someone who is constantly active on social media. The actor says that while he understands its importance, he feels that it’s a big responsibility as well. “Social media has become a great tool for connecting with your well-wishers and people who admire your work and to stay in touch with them and keep them updated. Your fans like to see you and know what you are into in your real life. But I also think that it’s a big responsibility and that is why I always make a conscious effort to cross-check what I am posting. I take care of the words I am using when I am commenting and whose pictures I am liking. I know that this is what people are going to see. This is what people will interpret it as. In that sense, I take care of it and keep it at the back of my mind,” he says.   Social media has also become a game of amassing a huge number of followers, however, Avinash says that he has never go

 While Delnaaz Irani has made quite a name for herself in the comedy genre in both films as well as TV, the actor says that she wants to focus on showcasing her craft through stronger roles. Delnaaz, who was last seen in the show Choti Sarrdaarni,  says that even if its comedy, her character needs to be more prominent and integral to the story. “I’ve got the name, fame and money but I am still on the lookout for a significant role. I have done theatre since the last 25 years and have been doing many other projects but I have still not got my due. I know people love watching me do comedy, however, I am yet to get a strong role in this genre as well. Now I want to do something that’s challenging. If it has to be a comedy, then it should be like Sridevi’s role in ChaalBaaz. I won’t just be a filler somewhere. I would love to explore my craft more and for that, I need to play stronger roles,” she says. Meanwhile, talking about entertaining the audience, the actor is not a big f
