Actress Sudha Chandran, who is hosting Crime Alert on Dangal TV, says that the journey has been very enriching for her. This is the first time she is part of such a show, and while she loves it, the subject can get emotionally draining as well.   “This is a new genre for me. Being an anchor and the face of the show, Crime Alert, was very challenging. When I started anchoring, I realized the crimes that are taking place in the country. Unless you’re not personally affected, you don’t dwell on these things usually. But when I narrate the crimes, it’s shocking and emotionally draining too because while anchoring I can go through that agony that the victim and his family go through,” she says. Talking about working with Dangal TV, she says, “Working with Dangal TV has always been a pleasure. All my firsts have been with Dangal TV. I came in as a producer thanks to Manish Singhal sir, I turned from an actress to a producer. The second new thing I did again was anchoring Crim...

The same offer is given to Gautam Singh Vig but the stakes are increased. Gautam has to sacrifice the ration of everyone for the week if he wants to be a captain.

Everyone is stunned to see her rendition. Speaking more about recreating the song Banerji says,”I am a huge admirer of Madhuri Dixit.  I am fortunate that a lot of people have told me that I have expression like hers. I have grown up watching her films and dances.  She was a unique package of innocence and sensuality.  I have chosen this song because it’s one of my favourite songs and went on to created history.

Subuhii Joshii  I think it’s a great move. It's a new era of equality and the best part is BCCI is just the third board to take this step. Of Course it gives a ray of hope to see change in our industry too and I hope it happens soon. We just talk about equality but in reality there still is a lot of partiality. But after this huge step by BCCI, I sincerely hope our industry implies this too. When I started working we used to get our first cheque after 90 days of the telecast of the show. It has become way better now. It’s still not completely fair, but so much better than before. I think payments should be done on a monthly basis, and not after 2-3 months. Namita Lal  Proud moment for sport for BCCI to take equal pay decision . There is a lot of pressure now on producers to get equal compensation from leading actors of both genders especially in Hollywood and Europe. With films such as gangubai and tv shows such as Anupama leading the revenue collections in 2022 th...

She feels very proud that she belongs to the Raibahadur family. She is very active on social media, unlike Sheetal. I relate to Nandini many times but the only time, I could not relate to her was when we were shooting that blackmailer scene. Infact in real life, I am not scared and I know how to deal with such people.” Talking about her experience of working with Dangal TV, she says, “I am h...

One of the reasons why Shakti Arora said yes to Ratri Ke Yatri 2 is director Anil V Kumar. The actor shares that he likes the way the director treats different narratives and really liked the concept. "The experience of making this web project has always been fabulous. When I am with him (the director) I am completely carefree, sometimes less prepared. I know what he wants so when he tells me what he wants I am able to deliver better. Over the years, I have gauged what he wants and what kind of performance he prefers, and he also knows what to expect from me. I think there is a great tuning between us," he says. Shakti shares that their association goes back a long way. "He directed my first show Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi. Whatever I am today is due to his participation in my character-building. Even in this show, he made sure I perform the best and look the best. Since the show has released, I am stunned by the way he shot and treated the subject. I was very co...

Ram Yashvardhan plays the titular role of Hanuman in Dangal TV's Jai Hanuman- Sankat Mochan Naam Tiharo. Excited about the show, the actor talks about bagging the part and more. “I was contacted by the channel. The casting took time as many people were there in line but by God’s grace, we did three-four mock shoots before finalising the look and now I am playing the role,” he continues about getting into his character, “To get ready as Hanuman I take around two and half hours. It depends on the prosthetic masks that are put on the face. Sometimes it takes less time, sometimes it is more.” Unlike regular daily soaps, such mythological and religious shows require more of an actor's time and energy. “One of the differences between a daily soap and a mytho show is the language. In a daily soap if you forget some lines in between then you can improvise because you know the context but in mythological shows you have to speak the language of that particular era which some ...

Bigg Boss season 16 is on air and has already grabbed attention. Fans of the show are looking forward to seeing who gets to take the trophy home and are already vying for their favourite contestant to win. We ask celebs if they would take up Bigg Boss if the Salman Khan-hosted reality show is offered to them. Here’s what they said: Arun Mandola I did not like Bigg Boss till I saw season 13 because I don’t like fights and chik chik all the time.  But in the last two seasons that I have seen I felt that this show is full of stress and anxiety but slowly I understood this show mirrors the real world. This type of show will change your life, you will get the power to judge people easily and learn how to handle people. It’s like a school. The show makes you a star overnight and helps you learn lots of things. But at the same time they are very risky to do because you don’t know what will happen with you. There are chances you will become what you are in reality. If you don’t...

It is safe to say that if looks could kill, we would be dead looking at actor Arjun Bijlani in the Splitsvilla promo. The actor, who has become a pirate for the promo, is on the search for his lady love, who is ‘naadiyon paar’. The promo starts with Arjun looking out for his love through a pair of binoculars and then shifts to a mesmerising mermaid, Sunny Leone. The promo of the reality show is quite interesting and shows that both Arjun and Sunny are all set to play the hottest cupids in history! What’s more exciting is that this time, the show will be based on two different islands. Arjun has always impressed us with his performances on screen and this time as a host, he is sure to leave us stunned.

Diwali is over, and most of us are missing all the fun, laughter and food we enjoyed. It’s time to get back to our daily grind, even if many of us might feel like going back. Celebs share the same emotion. We ask them how tough it is to go back to their usual routine once Diwali ends and how do they get over the festival hangover. Here’s what they said:   Sumit kaul Diwal for the longest time was just a festival of celebration and would end up becoming the festival of indulgence. But in recent years it’s taken on a different meaning for me. I still see it as a celebration, however that of being alive and becoming a beacon of light for everyone around you. So although I still celebrate, I don’t indulge much, so the question of hangover doesn’t arise. In fact I feel rejuvenated and refreshed after Diwali.   Mitu Yes, it’s very tough to get back to our usual life. I wait for both my birthday (which is on choti Diwali) and Diwali with a lot of enthu the whole year arou...

Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia made her mark with her entry into Bigg Boss as she became the first captain of the house. The actress is getting lots of love for portraying her real self in the house. In recent days we can see the equations between the contestants have been changing with each passing day.  However, in yesterdays  episode, we saw Bigg Boss given a “captaincy task” to everyone.  When Nimrit was asked to choose between Shiv Thakare as a captain or ration for herself or for all others in the house, she chose Shiv to be the Captain. However, her decision did not go down well with Priyanka Chahar Choudhary and few other housemates, who argued that Nimrit had no right to give up ration on behalf of others. After her, M C Stan went in to get ration as part of the planning conceived by Priyanka but soon after Soundarya Sharma and Ankit Gupta were asked to choose between ration and Gautam as their new captain. Soundarya chose Gautam but Ankit chose ration for him...

Payal, who has written and directed Ishqiyoun, says that this is the best time for the year. “Diwali is all about celebrating life and cherishing all your loved ones. It is a start to a new beginning. Everyone is so happy during this time of year. This is also the best time to forgive and forget. If you need forgiveness, this would be the right time to ask.

Talking about this year, she says, “I will be with friends in Michigan but I plan to still stuff myself silly with all the mithai.
