Deepinder Goyal, the CEO of food e-commerce platform, recently graced the latest episode of the streaming sketch comedy show ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ along with his wife Gia Goyal, businessman Narayana Murthy, and his wife Sudha Murthy, who is the Rajya Sabha member. During the episode, Kapil spoke about the flirtatious push notification that Deepinder’s Zomato app sends to its customers. Kapil said, “The notifications of their company are so flirty. It feels like a girlfriend and boyfriend are talking to each other”. He then went on to show some of the push notifications as the audience cracked up in the awe of copywriters who write such push notifications. Kapil then asked Deepinder, “You were actually typing this message for your customers or you were typing for Gia and by mistake you sent it to us?”. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) Deepinder said, “A couple of times it happened that I typed for Gia, and I thought I'll send them a nice notification. But not much. Let me tell you what happened. Our marketing team is very young. They don't have any background in marketing. They are passionate people”. He added, “So, I briefed them one day to make a relationship with the customer. Even I didn't know what it meant. I don't have any marketing background. I read a book and it said to make a relationship with the customer. I told them. They took me seriously”. Meanwhile, Kapil’s show also stars Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Rajiv Thakur and Archana Puran Singh. Season 2 promises to celebrate India and its rich culture with the superstars of the country. The format of ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ is largely identical to that of Sharma's former shows ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ and ‘Comedy Nights with Kapil’.

07 November,2024 06:07 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSTelevision actor Karan Wahi faced significant backlash on social media as several users called him out over his “hypocrisy” regarding animal welfare. Ahead of Diwali, Karan posted a message urging people not to burn crackers, citing the negative impact on animals and the environment. In an interview, the ‘Dill Mill Gayye’ actor, who is a pet parent, expressed his belief in celebrating the festival of lights in a way that does not harm the environment or animals, urging others to do the same. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Delhi Times (@delhi.times) Amidst this, Karan’s comments about his own diet, which includes non-vegetarian foods, sparked controversy and led to criticism from netizens. A viral video shows Wahi revealing his daily meal plan, which includes grilled fish, chicken, eggs, and other animal-based proteins. In the clip, the actor can be heard saying, “At two o'clock, I take grilled fish with boiled vegetables, and in the evening, grilled chicken or an egg omelette or protein shake. For dinner, I have homemade chicken or fish with two chapatis.” This revelation has not gone down well with many social media users, who trolled the actor for his perceived hypocrisy. Many pointed out that while he advocates against harming animals with fireworks, his diet involves the consumption of animals. One user wrote, “These people have done the most disservice.” Another said, “They will say anything just to look cool—hypocrites.” A third user commented, “He doesn’t know fish and chicken are also animals. Only cats and dogs are animals for this Bollywood crowd.” On the work front, Karan rose to prominence with his portrayal of Ranveer Sisodia in the teen drama series “Remix.” He is also known for his performances in shows like “Dill Mill Gayye”, “Mere Ghar Aayi Ek Nanhi Pari”, and “Kuch Toh Log Kahenge.” He made his Bollywood debut with a supporting role in Habib Faisal's romantic comedy “Daawat-e-Ishq” and later appeared in “Hate Story 4.” This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

07 November,2024 08:12 AM IST | Mumbai | IANSToday's episode started with what we saw in yesterday's precap. In the latest episode of 'Bigg Boss 18', the focus was on selecting a new "Time God." However, the selection task came later, as the episode began with Rajat Dalal picking yet another fight, which many felt was unnecessary. The YouTuber first argued with Vivian Dsena, who questioned his fairness in the game and later engaged in a heated verbal exchange with Avinash Mishra, which quickly took an ugly turn. What Happened in Today’s Episode Avinash Mishra criticized Rajat for being unfair in ration distribution, which didn’t sit well with Rajat, who charged at Avinash. Though Rajat knows he can’t physically harm anyone, his actions made it clear he wanted to. When housemates intervened, Rajat became even more aggressive. He then started hurling abuses at Avinash, prompting Eisha Singh to step in to stop the fight, but she was pushed by Rajat, leaving her injured. Other housemates then confronted Rajat, admonishing him for his behaviour. Rajat tried to justify himself by saying, “Mere paas mat aya karo,” but Digvijay Rathee gave him a reality check, saying, “Aapko dhyan rakhna padega.” During this exchange, when Vivian Dsena objected to Rajat's abusive language, Rajat responded, “Mein sabhya nahi hoon.” Later, Bigg Boss introduced the task of selecting a new "Time God." Rajat once again channelled his aggression, which left viewers unimpressed. Ultimately, the team led by Karan Veer Mehra, which included Sara Afreen, Chahat Panday, Rajat Dalal, Afreen Khan, and Digvijay Rathee, won the task. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) What Worked and What Didn’t in Today’s Episode Today's episode was packed with drama, as is typical of 'Bigg Boss 18', but Rajat Dalal’s behaviour left a bad impression, making him seem ‘badtameez and mannerless.’ The task itself was intense and exciting, which made it a hit. Kashish Kapoor, the new wildcard entry, attempted to mend her relationships with Vivian Dsena and Avinash Mishra. The highlight of the episode, however, was Vivian Dsena’s composed and intelligent handling of Rajat and Chahat’s behaviour, which truly won viewers’ hearts.

06 November,2024 05:35 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentNew episode, new drama! Today's episode of 'Bigg Boss 18' was all about nominations, chai, and Vivian Dsena. The episode started with "Time God" Vivian Dsena gaining the power to nominate eight contestants, out of which four would be saved by the rest of the housemates. Later, the discussion over chai and coffee continued, as Bigg Boss didn’t include them in the daily ration. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) What happened in today's episode The fight between Sara Afreen and Vivian took a dirty turn when she brought up the topic of the actor’s first failed marriage and was called out by Shilpa Shirodkar. Shilpa has a soft spot for Vivian Dsena, evident in how she disapproved of Sara bringing up his personal life in the conversation. Sara was seen accusing Vivian of mistreating his first wife, which was a low blow from her. Later, Chahat Pandey took away Vivian’s personal filter coffee maker, which didn’t sit well with the actor. Despite the housemates' various attempts to rile him up, Vivian remained calm until Rajat Dalal and the new wild card entry, Digvijay Rathee, slept on the sofa where Vivian usually sleeps. Even after he mentioned his sinus issues, they refused to move. The episode also highlighted Rajat’s desperation to provoke Vivian, as he did everything he could to instigate him. The preview of tomorrow’s episode shows Rajat losing his cool with Avinash, while “mind coach” Sara engages in some mindless activities. Another point of interest is the upcoming task, where contestants will compete for the title of "Time God" of the house. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) What worked and what didn’t Today's episode felt like it was Vivian’s house, and everyone else was just living in it. Sara reached a new low by bringing Vivian's personal life into the conversation, which was unacceptable. Meanwhile, Digvijay comes across as pretentious, seemingly eager to pick a fight with Vivian just to stand out and appear daring. Rajat Dalal, honestly, is the most annoying and ill-mannered man in the house.

06 November,2024 12:34 AM IST | MumbaiIt takes courage to walk away from everything you know to start anew. However, for Kunickaa Sadanand, that has been the norm. When her career was flourishing, she took a break to focus on her family. Despite the setbacks, she was not one to fall into pieces. She ventured into other facets of filmmaking, joined politics, and studied law. Having done all that, the actor says she misses being in front of the camera and getting under the skin of a new character every day. Popularly known for playing a mother at 18 in the hit daily soap Swabhimaan, she was last seen in Akbar Birbal (2015) and Dilli Wali Thakur Gurls (2015). While she is eagerly waiting for the results of the exams to practice as a lawyer in the Supreme Court, Sadanand has been making calls and touching base with filmmakers and casting agents seeking acting work. “I was working on Akbar Birbal when I decided to take a break. I wanted to explore other interests, and that’s when I got involved in various projects as an associate producer with Priyanka Chopra. I produced three films with her,” she revealed. “I also pursued my law degree and engaged in social work. It was a fulfilling phase, but I always had a deep-rooted passion for acting.” In 2020, Sadanand was seen in Bejoy Nambiar’s Taish. “I wish to explore the web more. I have no qualms calling up people asking for work. I had messaged Sanjay Leela Bhansali, expressing that I wished to work with him. However, I am aware that I am not an A-lister and that they’d not clamour to cast me immediately just because I expressed an interest,” says the actor. The road to staying relevant Sadanand says it is an important one and she has been actively upping her social media game. She expresses, “Sadly, that’s what people judge you on these days. But they are also right in a way. I have been active on Instagram and my YouTube channel. And I have a decent amount of followers too, as per the agency. You have to stay connected with the audience. I think that’s what’s important.” When asked if she would get back to television and movies, the actor shares that she is looking for projects that speak to her and don’t conform to her glamorous image. “TV is suffering from a massive financial crunch because the audience has shifted. Budgets have been slashed. I don’t want to do the typical saas-bahu drama where there is regression and women are being tortured or seen as silent spectators. The film industry always caters to what the audience wants. Then there are things that you least expect, like how Stree 2 did. The idea is to keep experimenting and consistently do it. I want good roles with a message. I would love to audition for something like that,” she signs off.
05 November,2024 11:59 AM IST | Mumbai | Letty Mariam AbrahamActor Aasif Sheikh, who essays the role of Vibhuti Narayan Mishra in the superhit television show ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’, has opened up about his signature line from the Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan-starrer ‘Karan Arjun’. His signature line from the film, “What a joke”, resonates with fans till date. Recounting his experience as Suraj Singh in the movie, Aasif shared an intriguing behind-the-scenes detail. He said, “When Karan Arjun’s director, Rakesh Roshan, first introduced me to the role, he stressed that ‘What a joke’ wasn’t just a line but the core of Suraj’s character. He wanted it to be Suraj’s reaction to everything, bringing an unexpected, engaging twist to the character. From day one, I infused 'What a joke' into every scene, experimenting with different tones to bring out the humour and unpredictability that the film’s director envisioned”. The actor also shared an anecdote saying that he wasn’t the first choice for the role, as he said, “Initially, Gulshan Grover was cast as Suraj Singh. He had even filmed several scenes and delivered the iconic line multiple times. But, for reasons I’m still not entirely sure of, I ended up bagging the role. It was a twist of fate, and maybe a testament to my perseverance, which allowed me to make ‘What a joke’ a memorable part of Bollywood history, something I’m incredibly proud of”. ‘Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai’ is a comedy show which revolves around two neighbouring couples, the Mishras and the Tiwaris, in which the husbands are attracted to each other's wives and attempt various ultimately unsuccessful and hilarious techniques to impress them. His plans to woo Angoori usually fail due to her naivety. 'Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai' airs on &TV. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

05 November,2024 07:15 AM IST | Mumbai | The Hitlist Team'Bigg Boss 18 ' is getting more exciting with each passing day! After Ravi Kishan's wake-up call to the contestants and the arrival of two WILD wild-card entries, the episodes have only improved. With Vivian Dsena as "Time God" and half the house against him, it’s been interesting to watch him manage the house with his smarts. What happened in today’s in Bigg Boss The wild cards, Digvijay Rathee and Kashish Kapoor, entered with their own mindsets and pre-established images, adding the spice the season needed. Though Day 30 began with the usual chai-coffee fights, things took a turn when Sara Aftreen tried to manipulate Vivian, who appears too sharp to fall for it. Later, Rajat Dalal, attempting to act clever, probed Digvijay for outside information—a move that Bigg Boss immediately called out. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) The episode also featured the season's first notable catfight between Kashish Kapoor and Eisha Singh, where Kashish said, "Character se bahar aao." There was also a brief clash between Kashish and Avinash Mishra, while the rest of the house watched as mere spectators. The episode concluded on an intriguing note, with Vivian, as the "Time God," granted director powers to nominate contestants. The nomination drama will continue in the next episode, but it seems Dsena has no intentions of forgiving. What Worked and What Didn't For the first time, everything worked! Though Sara seemed somewhat fake and unreasonable, her clashes with Vivian added to the classic Bigg Boss vibe. Meanwhile, Kashish’s entry felt like the much-needed energy boost. Digvijay, however, still appears to be finding his footing, as he seems quiet and subdued so far.

I don’t think she did anything for the game other than defend Avinash. Groups were formed to get ahead in the game, and it was not real friendship, and I didn’t want to do that.
