Vicky Kaushal’s female fan demands a head massage on The Kapil Sharma Show

This week, Sony Entertainment Television’s ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ witnessed the cast of Uri: The surgical strike, the beautiful Yami Gautam and the star who is now fast becoming a heartthrob amongst girls, Vicky Kaushal.

The actor has now become so popular amongst the female population that few of the female fans present on the show had a series of requests for the good-looking actor.

While one demanded that Vicky sleeps on her lap and Kapil sings Surmayee Ankhiyon from Sadmaa as a Lori. The other fan girl demanded to be lifted by Vicky in his arms and be dropped near her seat. The third fan requested to have Nariyal Pani with two straws dispensed for Vicky, leaving the audiences in splits.

But what came as the last request was a shocker for Kapil and Vicky as the young fan-girl asked Vicky to give her a head massage as her mother doesn’t do it for her! Though shocked by the demand and bit surprised too, but like a gentleman Vicky gave in to her demand and started giving her head massage while singing “Sar Jo tera Chakraye ya dil dooba jaaye…”

It indeed was a melodious massage session. Especially as the masseuse was none other than talented and very handsome Vicky Kaushal doing it.

Watching Vicky Kaushal fulfilling his fans demands and Kapil cracking up jokes on these scenes is going to turn out to be hilarious, and we can’t wait for you to witness it this weekend only The Kapil Sharma Show at 9.30 pm Saturday on Sony Entertainment Television

Ek Thi Rani Ek Tha Raavan

Led by its brand philosophy ‘Bhula De Darr, Kuch Alag Kar’ Star Bharat, presents a show which showcases key mind-sets that plague our society and the way they can be transformed! Sadly, patriarchy reigns supreme in many parts of the country and society conveniently overlooks crimes like stalking, till things turn ugly and grave.

After years of silence, today the women of our country are finally standing up unitedly against harassment with unusual strength and courage. Celebrating this spirit of awakening, Star Bharat is all set to launch its new show ‘Ek Thi Rani Ek Tha Raavan’ on Monday 21st January, 2019 at 8 pm.

The show addresses the pertinent issue of stalking in our country through the powerful story of a young girl. Set in the historic town of Jhansi, home to Rani of Jhansi, the show reveals the nightmares of a girl-next-door Rani, the protagonist, who has been living in a dilemma about leaving her home every hour of the day. Belonging to a broken family, she aspires to be well educated, but steps out with little enthusiasm everyday fearing a follower. A man who waits until she leaves her doorstep and keeps her company during her day. This man, a 27 year old Rivaaj is neither her friend, nor her lover. He is a stalker.

The crime of stalking is seldom given its due importance and is swept under the rug. Instead, the woman in question is often asked to mend her life and ways to avoid being stalked. The approach is always to blame the woman instead of the perpetrator. The show strives to influence mind-sets of men and women alike to overcome this prevalent evil.

Star Bharat’s spokesperson said, “Our entertaining fiction shows aimed at family viewing have been warmly received ever since we have launched. Our constant endeavor has been to create stories that inspire the narrative of our country to unleash their true selves. We are opening the year with one such story called ‘Ek Thi Rani Ek Tha Raavan’, based on every woman’s inner strength of transforming their ‘fear’ to ‘fire’ of change. Our year has just began, more promising shows are on their way to pave a remarkable 2019.”

The show, produced by Panorama Entertainment will see Manul Chudasma making her debut as the protagonist ‘Rani’ and Ram Yashvardhan as the antagonist ‘Rivaaj’ respectively. Versatile actor and singer Ila Arun, has lent her evocative voice to narrate a moving poem for the promotion of the show. Television personalities like Sanjeev Seth, Vaishnavi Rao, Ashwin Kaushal and Ritwika Dey will be essaying important roles in the show.

Become a part of Rani’s journey with ‘Ek Thi Rani Ek Tha Raavan’, airing on 21st January, 2019 at 8:00 pm on Star Bharat & Hotstar.
