Actress Dipshikkha Nagppal, who is seen in the show “Megha Barsenge”, says that mental health doesn’t discriminate and that celebrities talking about the issue can help others. “People look up to celebrities, and when they speak openly about issues like mental health, it sends a powerful message. Mental health doesn’t discriminate, no matter how successful or wealthy you are, it can affect anyone. Recognising it and taking action can truly transform your life”, she said. The actress talked about how she sought professional help during her tough times. “I sought help from my doctor, Anjali Chhabria, during some of the toughest times in my life, including my divorce. Back then, I found myself reacting very differently to my children, something I couldn’t understand. “I had always wanted kids, so I kept questioning why I was speaking to them with so much frustration and anger. My doctor explained that my reactions were tied to my emotional struggles. I was a new mother at the time, and there was no elder in my home to guide me or my children through what was happening”, she said. The actress said that therapy changed everything. “It helped me build a beautiful relationship with my children. That’s why my advice is to not wait until you’re upset or depressed to see a therapist. Even when you’re happy, therapy can help you grow and understand yourself better. It gives you a safe space to talk, where someone listens without judgment and helps you make sense of things". “When we talk to friends or family, it’s rare to find someone who truly listens without imposing their perspective. Most people don’t want to hear what they consider “drama” and often give advice based on their understanding, not your reality. That’s why seeking expert help is so important it helps you live life in a way that feels meaningful and fulfilling", she added.

25 November,2024 08:14 AM IST | Mumbai | IANSBigg Boss 18 has reached its halfway point, and today's eviction came as a shock. Alice Kaushik, who entered the house as one of the Top 2 contestants, was eliminated. Meanwhile, Hina Khan, who is battling stage three cancer, entered the Bigg Boss 18 Weekend Ka Vaar episode and gave a reality check to everyone in the house. The "Sher Khan" of Bigg Boss history first made her entry on stage and met Salman Khan, who asked Hina about her cancer journey and how she is fighting it. The actress was seen getting emotional and teary-eyed while speaking to Salman and later to Bigg Boss about her battle with cancer. Alice Kaushik's elimination Alice Kaushik was introduced to viewers as one of the Top 2 contestants, alongside Vivian Dsena. However, as Bigg Boss stated, this season is all about 'Time Ka Tandav,' and the audience's vote decided that even after being called one of the Top 2, Alice Kaushik had to say goodbye to the housemates due to receiving the least votes. Her eviction was even more surprising when Salman Khan asked who feared their time would end today, and Alice was the only one who raised her hand. When Alice raised her hand, Salman told her not to manifest negative thoughts, as it had come true for her. Hina Khan enters the Bigg Boss house Hina Khan first met Salman Khan on stage, who introduced her as Sher Khan. As Hina met Salman on stage, he asked her, "Beat kardiya?" and that’s when Hina got emotional. She shared that she had just finished chemotherapy and was still fighting. Salman reassured Hina that she would 1000% beat the disease and come out healthy. Later, she entered the house and gave the housemates a reality check. She specifically asked Karan Veer Mehra to open his eyes, as Shilpa Shirodkar was "riding two boats" while keeping Vivian Dsena as her priority. Hina Khan’s battle against breast cancer The actress was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in June 2024 and has been fighting this battle bravely. She has been documenting her journey and openly discussing the stigma surrounding hair loss during chemotherapy. The Bigg Boss 11 runner-up shaved her head before she started losing her hair and made a wig out of it, which she confidently wears. She also shared a post about battling the loss of her eyelashes due to chemotherapy.
24 November,2024 11:44 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentIt was once, a few years back, when Krushna Abhishek refused to be a part of The Kapil Sharma Show, where his uncle Govinda and aunt Sunita Ahuja were supposedly coming as guests. Now, years after that one decision that led to a prolonged feud, for the first time in years, Govinda and Krushna will share the same screen space on the upcoming episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show, officially putting the feud to rest. The mama-bhanja duo will be seen dancing, laughing, and hugging each other during the episode. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Priyansh Tripathi (@priyanshxedits) Govinda-Krushna patch-up A promo of The Great Indian Kapil Show has been doing the rounds, featuring Govinda, Chunky Panday, and Shakti Kapoor entering as the guests. Govinda looks dashing, and this marks his first on-screen appearance after the gunshot incident. The episode promo also features Krushna and Govinda dancing together. Krushna Abhishek's sister and actress Arti Singh was also present as a guest in the episode. The mama-bhatija hugged each other, leaving Arti in tears as she witnessed this emotional moment. The clip has Krushna saying, "Bohot saal baad mile hain, ab jaane nahi dunga." In one scene, Govinda humorously calls Krushna a "Gadha." About Govinda and Krushna's feud Krushna made a joke on his show related to Govinda, which the latter found disrespectful. This marked the beginning of a seven-year-long feud. Later, Krushna's wife, Kashmera Shah, made a tweet targeting Govinda, which acted as fuel to the fire. Over the years, both parties commented about each other through the media, deepening the rift further. It was after seven years that both parties put the feud to rest when Govinda attended his niece Arti Singh's wedding. Later, after Govinda's gun-firing incident, Kashmera Shah was among the first to visit the hospital after he suffered a self-inflicted injury. About Govinda's gunshot injury "I was about to leave for a show in Kolkata. It was about 5 in the morning. Aur uss time par vo giri aur chal padi (and it just fell and went off). I was shocked by what happened, and when I looked down, I saw a fountain of blood. Then I made a video, spoke to the doctor, and got admitted," the actor had told reporters after he was discharged from the hospital.
24 November,2024 03:35 PM IST | MumbaiDuring the Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 18, Bollywood superstar and host Salman Khan addressed his viral video from 1998. In the said video, he was in a police station in Jodhpur over the ongoing infamous blackbuck poaching case and was given the tag of being "arrogant". It was his body language and its interpretation by spectators that got him the tag. Salman Khan clarifies about viral police station video During the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Salman recalled the moment while having a conversation with Rajat Dalal, over the contestant’s body language in the show. Talking about his old video, Salman said, "If you have seen my old clips, it might seem like, 'Look at Salman Khan, how arrogantly he is sitting at a police station'. But mera koi involvement tha hi nahi toh main vaha par jaake daru kyu? (There was no involvement of mine in that, so why should I be scared?)" The 'Dabangg' star said that now when he looks back, he realises he should have respected the uniform irrespective of his involvement in the blackbuck poaching case. "When an official or senior person arrives, you stand up and respect their badge and their uniform. Today, when I see those old clips, I don't feel good about the incident myself. Woh bachpane mein kya harkat kar gaya main (That was juvenile behaviour)," he said. "I have a style of walking, a body language, which I cannot change now, but people think that's arrogance. No, it's not." The star was then seen schooling Rajat for talking about “connections” in the outside world. "We all have bid goodbye to our past life when we were 17-18. I had gone and apologised to everyone. Bhai jitne jhagde the, chhod diya, hero bann raha hoon (We had fights, left all of that, I was becoming a hero). And everyone supported me in the journey. That is how it should be if you want to start work in this industry.” About the blackbuck poaching case Salman Khan and other actors including Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Neelam Kothair were accused of hunting down two blackbucks in Kankani village near Jodhpur. The actors were in the city for the shooting of the film Hum Saath - Saath Hain in the late 90s. Salman has been in the limelight for the case since the past 20 years. The case has been making news again owing to the involvement of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi who has threatened to kill the superstar for allegedly hunting down blackbuck, an animal considered sacred in the Bishnoi community.
