Speaking to Times Now, Shatrughan said, “Anand Bakshi saab has written about such professional protestors, ‘Kucch to log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna. To this I would like to add, ‘Kehne waale agar bekar, bekaam-kaaj ke ho to kehna hi kaam ban jata hai (For unemployed people, this is all the work they have).’ My daughter has done nothing illegal or unconstitutional.” He added, “A wedding is a very personal decision between two people; no one has the right to interfere or comment. To all the protestors I say – go, get a life. Do something useful with your life. Aur kucch nahi kehna (I have nothing else to say)”.

With his signature mischievous charm, Abhishek Bachchan kickstarted the segment by saying, I’m going to ask you a few tough questions. Let’s deviate from KBC today and play, ‘Who’s the Better Bachchan!’” The first question to Shoojit from Abhishek was about punctuality, “Between the two of us, who’s more punctual on shoot?” Shoojit, without hesitation, pointed to Big B, saying, “Abhishek is always on time, and that’s something he got from you.”Amitabh, with his characteristic wit, laughed and quipped, “Ekdum diplomat hai yeh!” But the main highlight was when Abhishek asked, “Who’s cooler between the both of us?” the audience instantly shouted Big B’s name, rooting for the legendary star. Abhishek, ever quick with his humour, replied, “Let me settle this. He was part of a song where he rapped a line that goes, ‘Cool ka main school hoon’ toh, cool toh yeh hi hai!” He then added with a wink, “Kyunki yeh jahan khade ho jaate hain, line wahi se shuru hoti hain.” This engaging father-and-son banter left everyone entertained with their infectious camaraderie. Abhishek Bachchan's film 'I Want To Talk' When the trailer of Abhishek's upcoming film, 'I Want to Talk' was launched, it was successful in intriguing the viewers and stirring up a conversation.

In a conversation with 'Mid-Day', the actress, who recently donned the hat of a magician in her show 'The Magic of Shiri', opened up about her journey to stardom. The actress shared how, during her time, she didn't have social media to share her point of view. The 'Yeh Hai Mohabbatein' star also mentioned that the era was one of 'sansani'. ‘I couldn’t handle the frivolous media’ Opening up about early fame, she said, "Fame was not difficult, and attention was not difficult because I was too grounded for that. I have seen some people whose attitude changes with each successful show. Many of my friends are like that, but it didn’t happen to me because I knew that I had to come back down to the same place. However, what I couldn’t handle was the frivolous media during the time when I started. You see, back then, there was no medium to speak your truth since social media wasn’t accessible" ‘Vo phase 'sansani' vala tha’ She further continued and stated that she had to face frivolous media, adding, "We say a lot about social media. People say that social media may be a boon but also a curse. However, we tend to focus more on the curse, but no one addresses how it has given a voice to people, including artists like us. Back in those days, false news would spread easily. Kyunki vo phase 'sansani' vala tha and no one could say it was wrong because there was no medium to do so. You would write something, but how could we prove it was false? At that time, the makers and channels didn’t offer much support because, for them, every news was news. They were fine with it, but I used to feel stressed during that time."

21 November,2024 11:09 AM IST | Mumbai | Shachi ChaturvediThis year, Bigg Boss seems to be trying too hard to maintain its TRPs and keep the audience hooked to their TVs. However, it looks like the effort is falling short, resulting in forced fights, multiple wildcards, and an early torture task. It seems that after trying everything, Bigg Boss played his trump card in today's episode. The episode featured Karan Veer Mehra at his best, leaving girls swooning as he did push-ups with Aditi Mistry sitting on his back.

Kashish, clearly impressed by his physique, upped the ante by asking Karan Veer to repeat the feat with her—a challenge he simply couldn’t refuse! The fight for Vivian without Vivian The new wildcard Yamini Malhotra seems to be trying too hard to get into Vivian Dsena's good books. After Rajat Dalal's attempt to form a group with Dsena, he didn’t assign him many duties, leaving Karan Veer, Digvijay Rathee, and others with several questions. When asked why Vivian doesn’t have many duties, Rajat jumped in to defend him, leading to the actor walking out of the conversation, and leaving the audience ROFL. The Time God challenge The Time God task turned the tables, pushing the men to their physical and emotional limits. Shackled in jail, the men endured relentless torment at the hands of the women. Kashish took things too far when she applied red chilli powder to Avinash Mishra’s body, causing an unexpected uproar. The intensity peaked when some of the chilli accidentally got into Avinash’s eyes, prompting Eisha and Alice to rescue him, splashing him with water to ease the pain. The emotional ride was undeniable as Avinash and Karan Veer gritted their teeth through a brutal waxing session that had everyone cringing.

The mere mention of losing his treasured caffeine had Vivian fuming. Despite her taunts, he held his ground, fiercely defending the ration. Later, Vivian replaced his position with Alice Kaushik, who gave Eisha Singh a chance. What kept the audience excited was the preview of the upcoming episode, showing Rajat Dalal and Karan Veer entering into a war of words. Stay tuned to midday.com for more updates on Bigg Boss 18!

During the nomination task, Rajat Dalal, who is currently the "Time God" of the show, shocked the housemates and viewers by giving five nomination rights to Shilpa Shirodkar and Avinash Mishra. During the task, Shirodkar left Karan Veer Mehra questioning her motives after she nominated him. Rajat called out Shilpa Shirodkar for having double standards Post the nomination task, Rajat was seen blaming Shilpa for her double standards. That’s when Chahat Pandey and Kashish Kapoor jumped in and questioned Rajat about his loyalties. The fight got ugly when Rajat took a jab at Kashish by teasing her about prioritizing money over Digvijay during her time in 'Splitsvilla'. However, Kashish, being her fiery self, hit back at Rajat, stating, “At least I haven’t run over anyone with my car.” Kashish Kapoor vs Rajat Dalal The argument escalated when Kashish called out Rajat, saying, "Tum bolte ho main apne dil mein koi bhi baat nahi rakhta, jo hota hai muh par bolta hoon. Agar tumhare mann mein mereko leke shaq tha, toh tumne task mein madad kyun li? Jab kaam nikalwana tha, pata hai na Kashish kahan par karna hai, pata hai na Kashish kiska kitna nikalna hai, tab muh se sachhayi nahi nikli."

This didn’t sit well with Kashish, who called Rajat "Paltu" and said nobody is scared of his words or his strength. Things took a personal turn when Rajat brought up her 'Splitsvilla' days, saying, "Arre suno, par main kisi lalach mein toh nahi palta na..." Kashish retaliated, saying, "Maine kisi ko kabhi gaadiyon se toh nahi udaya, shayad. Personal jaaoge toh mere paas 10 cheezein hain personal jaane ki...

19 November,2024 10:31 AM IST | Mumbai | Shachi ChaturvediAshneer Grover, the former managing director of the Indian fintech company, BharatPe, recently appeared as a guest on Salman Khan-hosted show Bigg Boss 18. The video of him getting schooled by the host for his previous comment on the superstar has gone viral on social media. After the episode was aired on television, Ashneer took to his X handle and issued a clarification in his defense stating that everything said by him earlier with regards to his meeting with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is absolutely true. He wrote, “I hope you enjoyed the Bigg Boss weekend ka vaar ! I had good fun. And I am sure the particular episode got great TRP / viewership. BTW all of statements are TRUE. Salman is a great host & actor - Salman knows what works on Bigg Boss - I’ve always praised Salman for his sense of self and business - not a single thing demeaning said for him ever - My deal numbers are always correct (bank / auditor verified)”. He further mentioned, “Met Salman in an exclusive meeting on the brand collab for 3 hours in May 2019 in JW Marriott Juhu - along with the director of ad (it’s ok if he doesn’t remember me - I was not a public figure then - he meets tons of people) - The invite for coming as guest on Bigg Boss was not ‘unnamed’ - just like the cheque for the same ;) And finally I’ve a pic with him - which I didn’t earlier ;) Thanks @BeingSalmanKhan. Keep rocking”. I hope you enjoyed the Bigg Boss weekend ka vaar ! I had good fun. And I am sure the particular episode got great TRP / viewership.

He shared, “When I approached Salman’s team, they told me that they would charge Rs. 7.5 crore, that’s when I started calculating. I had Rs 100 crore, I will give him Rs 7.5 crore, I will spend another Rs 1-2 crore on making the ad and I should also pay to the broadcasters, it’s a Rs 20 crore expense and I have Rs 100 crore. I didn’t know if I would get another round of investment, so I told Salman to decrease his price, and he agreed to do the ad for Rs 4.5 crore.” Salman Khan confronts ‘Shark Tank’ fame Ashneer Grover Salman Khan tells Ashneer Grover, “I heard you talking about me. You said, 'We have signed him for this much'. You also gave the wrong figures.

There were also reports of him leaving the show, which the actor has addressed. Dilip Joshi dismisses rumours of fight with Asit Kumar Modi In an official statement, Joshi said, “I just want to clear the air about all these rumors going around. There have been some stories in the media about me and Asit Bhai that are completely false, and it really saddens me to see such things being said. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is a show that means so much to me and millions of fans, and when people spread baseless rumors, it hurts not only us but also our loyal viewers." "It’s disheartening to see negativity being spread about something that has brought so much joy to so many for so many years. Every time such rumors pop up, it feels like we’re constantly explaining that they are completely untrue. It’s tiring, and it’s frustrating because it’s not just about us—it’s about all the fans who love the show and get upset reading these things," he added. Is Dilip Joshi leaving the show? Dilip Joshi also addressed rumours of hims exiting the show following a fight with the producer. "Earlier, there were even rumors about me leaving the show, which is completely false. And now, it feels like every few weeks, there’s another new story trying to defame Asit Bhai and the show in some way. It’s disappointing to see such things popping up again and again, and sometimes, I can't help but wonder if some people are just jealous of the show’s continued success. I don’t know who is behind spreading these stories, but I want to say this clearly: I'm here, I’m working every day with the same love and passion for the show, and I’m not going anywhere. I’ve been a part of this wonderful journey for so long, and I will continue to be a part of it. We all stand together in our commitment to make this show the best it can be, and I just wish the media would take a moment to verify the facts before printing such hurtful stories. Let’s focus on the positivity and joy that this show brings to so many. Thank you to our fans for always supporting us—it really means the world." Dilip and Asit Kumar Modi's rumoured fight It was reported that the duo was involved in a major spat recently. News 1 reported that the incident took place in early August. Dilip Joshi and Asit Modi got into a heated argument on sets over permission to take a few days off. Reportedly, Dilip reached out to Asit regarding the request to take a few days off but the creator seemingly avoided the conversation. This left the actor offended. He almost had a physical altercation with him.
