Does that mean everyone in the house should put you on a pedestal?)

Aap aurat aur mard ka problem nahi bana sakte. Aap yahan saari aurton ke liye baat karti hain… lekin aap khud ke liye ladiye."

08 November,2024 04:45 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentActor Vihan Verma, known for the television show 'Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin' opened up about his casting couch experience at the age of 17. He revealed how an individual asked him to compromise for a role which left him traumatized. Vihan stated that he was afraid to confide to his parents about the incident fearing they’d ask him to quit showbiz. Vihan Verma asked to compromise for a role at 17 In an interview with News18, Vihan revealed, “I encountered this unfortunate experience early in my acting career. During an audition, a suspicious individual made inappropriate advances, asking if I would compromise my values in exchange for a role. I was only 17 and terrified. I politely declined and promptly left his office." He further stated, “Initially, I was traumatized and unsure how to react. Born and raised in Mumbai, I was aware of such incidents but never expected it to happen to me. To protect myself, I built confidence and self-assurance, ensuring others wouldn’t dare approach me with similar proposals.” Vihan Verma received support from parents Reluctant to share his ordeal at first, Vihan eventually opened up to his parents. “I immediately shared the incident with friends but hesitated to inform my parents, fearing they’d advise me to quit acting. When I finally confided in them, they offered unwavering support and encouragement to stay confident and assertive," he said. He added, “I recognized that sexual harassment exists everywhere, not just in the entertainment industry. I was determined to succeed without compromising my values. I overcame the initial emotional distress by focusing on my goals.” He concluded by asserting that predators target those who are vulnerable and that saying “no” does not hinder success but is empowering instead. “Supporting those who face similar experiences helps create a safer environment,” says Vihan. ‘Ghum Hai Kisi Ke Pyar Meiin’ is a loose adaptation of the Bengali television show ‘Kusum Dola’. It formerly starred Ayesha Singh, Neil Bhatt, and Aishwarya Sharma Bhatt. Later, it starred Bhavika Sharma, Shakti Arora, and Sumit Singh as the second generation.

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.

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.

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.

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.
