The family week in Bigg Boss 18 House was the most spiced-up episode of the entire season. When Chahat Pandey's mother entered the house, she grilled Avinash Mishra badly. She stooped down to calling him a womaniser, which left the viewers in shock. While there are rumours that Chahat is dating someone, Chahat's mother, during her visit to the BB house, made some very strong statements, including saying that even if she got Chahat married to a blind man, she wouldn't retaliate. Now, as the Weekend Ka Vaar has arrived, Salman Khan has strongly condemned the words of Pandey's mother against Avinash. He further went on to grill Chahat over her rumoured relationship. Salman Khan showed proof of Chahat’s relationship View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) During this Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Salman Khan made some serious revelations, including showing a picture to the housemates and viewers in which Chahat can be seen posing with a cake that has a caption reading, "5 years down, a lifetime to go, happy anniversary my love." This left Chahat all muffled as she requested Avinash not to comment on the picture or anything about her rumoured relationship. This conversation took an interesting turn when Salman Khan barged in and said, "Chahat, rishta hai to hai, nahi hai to nahi hai." Chahat Mother grilled Avinash Well, Chahat Pandey's mother was the first to enter the house during the family week, which aired on Saturday. She came with warmth and love for her daughter Chahat and some fiery words for Avinash. She expressed her disappointment and anger towards Avinash for his past remarks questioning Chahat's character. While talking to Avinash, she said, "Humari beti ka naa andar koi bf hai, naa kabhi bahar raha hai. Chahat ko kisi andhe ladke ke saath bhi bandh diya na ki ja beta, isse teri shaadi kar di hai, to vo ek sawal nahi uthayegi." Meanwhile, later, while talking to the housemates, Mishra stood strongly on his claim that Chahat has a boyfriend. "Humare pure set ko pata tha ki uska bf hai. Hamesha gifts bhejta tha." On several occasions, Avinash also claimed that anybody from the sets of their show together would agree that Chahat has a boyfriend.
04 January,2025 11:04 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentRecently, reports came in that Rupali Ganguly is quitting the popular daily soap Anupamaa. The rumours claimed that the actress will leave the show anytime soon. However, all such reports are nothing but rumours, and the actress herself dismissed the news of her quitting her popular TV serial. She has planned to remain a part of the show till the very end. She also shushed the report of the supposed 15-year leap in the storyline. The actress put out a long emotional message to react to such reports. Anupamaa is not just a show for me; it’s an emotion As per TOI, Rupali shared, "Wow, people really have some overactive imagination. But thank you for talking about me and talking about the show. What can I say? Every person has a core, and my core, I believe, is gratitude. My husband and I both believe that whatever Rajan Ji has given me—the recognition, the platform, the position—I will never be able to repay it in this lifetime. And Anupamaa is not just a show for me; it’s an emotion, it’s my home, my second home. All my fur babies are here, and the unit has become like a family. So, does anyone leave their family, their home? And God forbid, may it never happen in life. If Rajan Ji ever says that he doesn’t need me anymore, then I might fight with him, or argue, and say, ‘Please let me stay in Anupamaa.’ I opened the gate for this show, and I will remain part of this show till the end. Even if I have to face obstacles, I will not leave." Rupali Ganguly- There can be no stranger news Calling the rumours strange, she further continued and said, "There can be no stranger news than this. Anupamaa made Rupali Ganguly who she is, and Anupamaa has become a part of my being. So, it’s ridiculous; people are speculating about something, writing such things, but thank you so much for all the love that came in. And to those who have supported me, I want to say that no matter what, please keep watching Anupamaa. My show should continue. Rajan Ji is the creator of the show, and his vision is Anupamaa. As long as he wants, I will continue to work hard, with full dedication and passion. I hope to God that this journey goes on for years. But this is just the beginning; the best is yet to come, my friends. So, keep sending love, and I will work so hard that I become worthy of your appreciation. Thank you so much and do not entertain speculations." About Anupamaa The makers of the show, Deepa Shahi and Rajan Shahi, have also denied any such reports of Rupali saying bye to the show. Anupamaa is one of the most popular television shows. The show often catches headlines for any changes in the storyline or the cast lineup.

04 January,2025 08:25 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentTelevision and film actress Shweta Tiwari has withdrawn her petition before the Bombay High Court to quash a forgery case against her. The move was made following the submission of an A-summary report by the police. The report summaries why a criminal investigation is being closed on the grounds of insufficient evidence. According to a report in Bar and Bench, the Bombay HC bench comprising of Justices Sarang Kotwal and Neela Gokhale accepted the summary report filed by the Bandra-Kurla complex police station and then allowed Tiwari to withdraw her petition. All you need to know about Shweta Tiwari's case Back in 2021, Shweta's ex-husband Abhinav Kohli had accused her of forging his signature on a Non-Objection Certificate (NOC) that she required to obtain a UK visa for their son in 2017. When Kohli got to know about the forgery he tipped the British consulate about the same and said that he never signed an NOC. Tiwari and Kohli's son Reyansh's visa was cancelled upon the information coming out. Kohli filed a First Information Report (FIR) against his ex-wife in the matter. After the matter was filed, Tiwari approached the High Court to quash the case against her. In her petition, Tiwari argued that the FIR was filed only in 2021, which was four years after the said incident happened. She suggested that the complaint was filed in retaliation to a personal dispute between the former couple. Tiwari pointed out that she and Kohli had traveled to the UK in 2018 with his consent for their son’s physiotherapy, and the NOC was granted by Kohli at that time. Tiwari said in her petition that the FIR was filed only after their relationship further soured and Kohli had concerns about her attempting to take their son abroad again. Tiwari and Kohli ended their marriage in 2019 with a divorce. The actress had filed a case of domestic violence against him. About Shweta Tiwari and her personal life She is one of the finest actress in television and has proved her mettle with her role of Prerna in 'Kasautii Zindagi Kay'. Apart from her skills as an actress, Shweta Tiwari has also been in the news for her turbulent marriages. She first got married to Raja Chaudhary in 1998. In a recent interview with Galatta India, Shweta revealed what prevented her from filing for a divorce for years despite being in an abusive marriage. Shweta had filed for a divorce in 2007 on the grounds of domestic violence and due to Raja's alcoholism. She later married Abhinav Kohli, but parted ways in 2019.
