The latest episode of the adventure reality show ‘MTV Roadies’, is set to see an unprecedented vote out session. This time, even one vote is enough to knock the contestant out of the show. With emotions running wild, alliances breaking, betrayals peaking and a task that’ll test both brains and bluffing skills, this vote out is the moment of the season. After the intense verbal war between Prince and Elvish, the camp wakes up to a fresh day, but the tension is still thick in the air. There’s no breathing room as Rannvijay drops the next task, ‘Bluff and Tuff’. And this one’s got it all, strength, strategy, and a masterclass in manipulation. In this task, the Roadies formed alliances, but with five gangs now in the mix and Gang Leaders still fuming from the last episode’s showdowns, it’s unclear who will ally and who will attack. Each alliance will choose seven performers, one powerhouse with strength, one brainiac to catch bluff and five bluffmasters. The physical battle begins with the hamster wheel, as two opposing strength players go head-to-head, dragging a giant cage towards their end. Once reached, the intelligent contestant enters a pit where only instincts can guide them, because what lies beneath each bluffmaster could be immunity, Roadiums… or a penalty! The right calls here could shape the entire vote out that follows. The best performer walks away with a secret advantage for the vote-out. The intense task will be followed by vote-outs. Amidst all the madness, comes a deeply emotional moment. Neha said, “Guys I promised you we’ll create history, so here we are! Yahan pe pichle 5 saalon se mai kaam kar rahi hoon, then I was not on ‘MTV Roadies’, so much happened in my life, I went and had personal growth, I came back and I was excited to be on the journey”. The camp falls silent. Contestants are stunned. Rannvijay is moved. This isn’t just a vote out. It’s a culmination of journeys, emotions, and years of Roadies legacy. ‘MTV Roadies’ is available on MTV and JioHotstar. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

27 April,2025 02:57 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSActor Shubhangi Atre's ex-husband, Piyush Poorey, recently passed away after suffering from liver cirrhosis. Now, days after his demise, Atre talked about the reason for their separation and shared that Piyush was an alcohol addict. Shubhangi parted ways with Piyush in February this year. Shubhangi Atre on divorce with Piyush In conversation with Times of India, Shubhangi shared that she spoke to Piyush on April 16 and said, "It's easy for people to judge without knowing the full story. They assume I left him due to my success, but that's not true. Our separation was a result of years of struggle. I didn't leave because I became successful, I left because his alcohol addiction took a toll on our lives. I tried everything I could to save my marriage, but it was beyond my control. Even sending him to rehab didn't work. Both our families also tried their best to help him, but addiction destroyed him and affected all of us." Shubhangi Atre talks about her daughter "I had to prioritise my daughter Ashi's well-being, so I made the difficult decision to part ways. It wasn't a decision made overnight. Things started going wrong around 2018–2019, and it eventually led to the divorce in 2025. Even after our divorce, I remained in touch with Piyush and encouraged him to seek help," Shubhangi shared while talking about her daughter Ashi. About Shubhangi & Piyush’s divorce Shubhangi and Piyush’s divorce was finalised in February this year, ending their 22-year marriage. The couple, who tied the knot in 2003, share a daughter named Ashi, born in 2006. They had been separated for a year before their divorce was legally granted. Shubhangi Atre's work front She will soon be making her Bollywood debut with a film on Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain in which she plays Angoori Bhabhi. Talking about entering B-town, Shubhangi said, "I am an actor and an artist, and no matter what the medium is, whether it’s TV, films, OTT, or theatre, I believe in giving my 100% with full dedication and discipline. Of course, Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain! is now being made into a film, so the work is quite similar to what we do on television. But still, there is a different kind of nervousness and excitement."

After twenty years of working in our industry, I realised I want to get into more than just acting as the learning of so many years need to come together. It is not easy, but it’s a challenge I am willing to take." Dalljiet was further asked how she finds time for her son Jaydon given her busy schedule. Reacting to this, the actress went on to reveal, "I have shifted to Pune. So it gives me an ample amount of non-diluted time with Jaydon. We spend a lot of quality time together. He is doing exceptionally well in school. He has found love in tennis and drums and that makes me very happy. We both are holding our hands through everything and soon we will have everything figured out." She further answered the question, 'How 2025 been so far and how's life shaping up?" Dalljiet reacted saying, "Life is coming together. God has been kind. I have got so much love and support. It’s been a challenge starting everything again. But it is what it is and every day it is picking a piece together and putting it back." Speaking about her work lineup, Dalljiet said, "My 'Katha Vachak' episodes are airing every Saturday, where I host a mythological show showcasing a known character of our history. Also, you can see me soon on 'Nidar E Ishq' opposite Iqbal Khan. We have come together after 'Choona Hai Aasman'. It’s a hard-hitting story. This was one of the initial stories written by me."

26 April,2025 08:16 AM IST | Mumbai | IANSThe Pahalgam terror attack has left the entire nation shaken, and with many grieving the loss of their loved ones, Elvish Yadav has shared his deeply personal link to the horrific incident that claimed 26 lives. Among the 26 was Vijay Narwal, an Indian Navy Lieutenant and husband of Elvish Yadav's college mate Himanshi. In a recent vlog, deeply saddened by the incident, Elvish shared that he couldn't call Himanshi because he didn’t know what to say. Elvish Yadav on Pahalgam terror attack While talking about how he didn't recognise Himanshi at first, he said it was only the second time he watched the video that Elvish realised it was his college friend. The popular YouTuber shared, “It was only after watching it a second time that I realised—this is Himanshi. We studied together at Hansraj. I graduated in 2018 and we hadn’t been in touch since, but I remember us going to the metro station together… She was a part of those carefree college days,” he recalled. The Laughter Chefs' star further continued, “I didn’t call her. What could I say? What do you say to someone who has just watched her husband be taken from her like that?” He further stated that he spoke to a mutual friend who tried contacting Himanshi after the Pahalgam terror attack and said, “She didn’t answer the first 30 calls but finally picked up the 31st time. She told our friend that what is being said is true—that the terrorists asked about religion before opening fire.” Lieutenant Vinay Narwal and Himanshi had tied the knot just weeks ago, on April 16. They went to Pahalgam for their honeymoon. The family of the victim shared that while the couple had planned a Switzerland trip, due to visa delays, they chose Kashmir instead. About the Pahalgam terror attack A terror attack broke out at the Pahalgam hill station in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag district on Tuesday. Over 20 tourists, including Indians and two foreigners, were shot dead by terrorists in the valley. According to reports, two to three terrorists wearing army fatigues opened fire on horse-riding tourists in the Baisaran area around 2:30 p.m. Baisaran is a small meadow located 3 to 4 km from the Pahalgam market, and tourists typically ride horses to reach the spot as there is no motorable road.
25 April,2025 10:45 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentParth Samthaan is in the spotlight after replacing ACP Pradyuman (played by Shivaji Satam) in the crime drama CID. There is a lot of chatter, especially with speculation that Parth’s character, ACP Ayushman, might only be around for a few weeks. To clear the air, mid-day caught up with the actor himself. Samthaan, who rose to prominence with his show Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan, was quick to respond when asked if his character had entered CID to stay. “It’s a mystery for me too,” he said. However, he clarified that he hasn't been informed about any such track changes and firmly confirmed, “I am very much part of the show.” On the possibility of his role being scrapped, he added, “It also depends on how the audience will react.” Parth Samthaan on online hate Best known for his romantic roles in shows like Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Parth has always received immense love from fans. But stepping into CID came with a wave of online backlash, a first for him. When asked about being trolled, he shared, “I have never faced hatred; I’ve always been away from that zone. But this time, there were comparisons.” Did any of it lead to him feeling demotivated? Not at all. “I knew I could pull it off, and the director kept me motivated. Daya sir and Abhijeet sir were also there to help me out. With that, I decided to forget what people were saying,” he said. Parth on choosing CID Although viewers often associate him with the “lover boy” image, Parth Samthaan didn’t return to television with a romantic drama simply because he “couldn’t find a compelling love story.” Still, choosing CID wasn’t an easy bet for him, as he himself didn’t believe that he could ever take up such roles. Excitedly, he shared, “When I was offered CID, I first thought it was some kind of joke.” But later, some self-introspection led him to believe that this could be the perfect comeback to television. While Samthaan was initially hesitant, he decided to go with the flow. “My life in television has never been planned. I’ve taken all the unplanned routes, so I hope this gets equal love for CID as much as I have gotten for KYY or Kasautii,” he said. Watch CID on Netflix!

According to Mumbai Mirror, Abhishek had mentioned financial troubles as his reason to end his life. His brother Jenis was quoted as saying, "I checked my brother's mail because ever since he passed away, I got multiple phone calls from different numbers demanding to be paid back loans he owed someone. One call was a number registered in Bangladesh, one in Myanmar, and others were from different states of India." He added, "From what I understood from the email records, my brother first took a small loan from one of the 'easy loan' apps that charge a very high rate of interest. I looked at the transactions between them and my brother closely after that. I noticed that they kept sending small amounts despite my brother not applying for the loans. Their interest rates are as high as 30%." An official from the Charkop police spoke about the suicide note that was written in Gujarati. "It spoke about the difficulties in his personal life as well as the financial troubles he had been facing over the past many months. Apologising to his family, Abhishek said he tried his best to fight the circumstances, but he couldn't do any longer as the problems are only increasing," said the official.

She told IANS that she has always prioritized comfort over anything. The 'Mangal Lakshmi' actress said, "Right from my childhood to today, I’m the same. Comfort is key for me.

My hands are so full this time even when I’m not in Mumbai or I’m not working as an actress but the time literally flies. I’m so busy with Sana, her schedule, and my Studio work that I literally think where does my time go? It does get a little tiring after a point since I had extensive traveling in this pregnancy. Yet I’m enjoying a different kind of motherhood for the second time and I’m looking forward to telling stories to my kids." Pooja revealed that she always wanted to give her firstborn a sibling as she believes that it’s the biggest gift you can give a child. "Thankfully Sandeep (husband) was also on the same page.

But more than anything else, you like the fact that there is more space in here than in Mumbai." Spilling the beans about her plans to return to Mumbai, Pooja said, "I do miss Mumbai but it’s more like I do miss being in front of the camera and acting.
