I am ok with my attention grabbing assets, as long as I am loved for my acting: Gandii Baat 2 actress Anveshi Jain



ALT Balaji’s ‘Gandii Baat’, seems to have hit it out of the park once again. Season 2 was applauded for its out of the box content, striking performances, and enrapturing screenplay. But overshadowing every good thing about the show, the leaked lesbian lovemaking scene between Anveshi Jain and Flora Saini caught more eyeballs than expected. The show occupied number one spot on the trending list which in turn directly influenced the lives of two actresses positively as well as negatively.

While on one hand, the undue attention and obscene comments seemed torturing for Anveshi (one of the two actors), on the other she was flooded with offers for big-budget movies and television shows (both reality-based and fictional). The chemistry between Flora and her seems to be working. However, amid everything, the Gandii Baat actress is neither complaining nor basking in the attention and glory.

“I strongly believe in ‘calling of the universe’. When I read the script of Gandii Baat, my gut feeling was very positive. It just felt right and I surrendered to it. And indeed it was the right decision. I have no regrets about it because I am well aware of the fact that I have not done anything that hasn’t been seen before. I feel, for some reason, it’s just my body that’s getting me unwanted and extra attention. Moreover, immoderate comments on social media platforms including Instagram is just adding fuel to the fire,” commented Anveshi on the entire episode.

Just a single scene - which in fact is not very explicit in terms of skin show – will hopefully be seen in the positive light, as this could be a totally new career shift for this motivational speaker, dating coach, and singer.

Three generations from a family display their ardent love for Shilpa Shetty on the sets of Super Dancer Chapter 3



Super Dancer Chapter 3 is back with its super talented kids from across the country, who are already creating news with their dancing abilities. The three Super Judges- Shilpa Shetty, Geeta Kapur and Anurag Basu have the toughest task of shortlisting contestants from amongst all. Every season, we see contestants and their families having their favourites amongst the three judges and Shilpa Shetty has the maximum fan following especially amongst the fathers. 

During the audition round, the father and grandfather of Srijan one of the participants on the show this season, showed their admiration for Shilpa and wore ‘I Love Shilpa’ t-shirts to the sets. Shilpa was quite amazed and happy to see three generations in the family being her ardent fans and on their request did some dance moves also with them on stage. The family was elated on Srijan’s selection for the mega-audition round and when they came for the same, they brought sugar free sweets for their favorite Shilpa keeping in mind that she is diet-conscious and keeps a tab on her calorie consumption every day. Srijan’s mother also gifted a Bengali saree to Shilpa and the entire family grooved to the one of the popular songs of Shilpa Shetty “Shut Up and Bounce” from Dostana.

Shilpa was quite moved with the family’s gesture and so were the other two judges so much that Anurag Basu ended up saying that , “I want to get married again just like these beautiful and happy couple.” 

Tune in to Sony Entertainment Television this Saturday & Sunday at 8pm to watch the mega-auditions of Super Dancer Chapter 3.

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.
