Manish Khanna

Character call

After playing the tantric Jwala in Brahmarakshas 2, Manish Khanna now takes on a new persona of a transgender, Irawat, in the supernatural drama. He plays the villain in protagonist Angad's (Pearl V Puri) life. Khanna sought inspiration from Ashutosh Rana's character in Sangharsh (1999). "Ashutosh is a dear friend, and he became my immediate source of reference," says Khanna.

Baby on way

Kishwer Merchant and Suyyash Rai took to social media to share the news that they are expecting their first child. The Bigg Boss 9 couple's bundle of joy is due in August. "You can now stop asking us, ‘When are you guys gonna have a baby?''' posted Merchant, who was seen on Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyaar. The two, who met on the set of Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahani, tied the knot in 2016.

When the gate came crashing down

Adhvik Mahajan injured his knee while shooting for Teri Meri Ikk Jindri at a Mira Road studio. The actor, who features as Jogi in the love saga, was rushed to a hospital. He was shooting for a prison sequence, when one of the co-actors pushed the cell gate with force, and it came crashing down on him. Though Mahajan has suffered a muscle tear, he is back on the set.
