Bigg Boss OTT: Connections gets candid in the house with Sunny Leone

Former US-Canadian porn star-turned-Indian film actress Sunny Leone has entered the ‘Bigg Boss OTT’ house.

In a candid conversation with host Karan Johar, Sunny spoke about her favourite contestant in the house, as she revealed Divya Agarwal as her favourite contestant as she has a “strong personality”.

She played fun games like ‘Coconut Task’, the contestants had to do some steamy dance moves to showcase their compatibility followed by another task where they picked one contestant who they accepted and the one they wanted to block! Interesting, isn’t it? She played Cupid for the housemates.

Sunny Leone recalled her own ‘Bigg Boss’ days and said: “Bigg Boss OTT’ is all about #StayConnected, so I am here to spread some more love! As the host of ‘Splitsvilla’, I know what real connections look like and there are contestants who have some amazing bonding in the house.”

She added: “I can guide the contestants a little more emotionally to find themselves through that process because this show is also about being over the top. So if you don’t have a game you will not survive. I am looking forward to getting on the show and spilling some beans with Karan.”

Kailash Kher on his devotional song as tribute to Lord Krishna

On the auspicious occasion of Janmashtami as a beautiful tribute to Lord Krishna, the upcoming show ‘Haathi Ghoda Paalki Jai Kanhaiya Laal Ki’ has launched a promo with a song sung by Kailash Kher. It will showcase Lord Krishna’s childhood.

Kailash Kher opens up about his association with the upcoming new show ‘Haathi Ghoda Paalki Jai Kanhaiya Laal Ki’. He revealed: “Lord Krishna has been an inevitable part of my life. My parents used to say that during my childhood, I used to do pranks just the way ‘Kanha Ji’ used to do. I feel internally connected to Lord Krishna and I have been his devotee from the time I can remember.”

He further added about his spiritual inclination and how it inspires his music: “Since I remember anything I only know the spiritual way of life, as I was brought up and studied in a Gurukul, where primarily I worshipped Lord Mahadev and Lord Vishnu, and everyone can connect the rest. I was ready to accept the offer as soon as I got the opportunity because I wanted to be part of a venture where my spirituality meets music. I feel that Lord Krishna himself has chosen me to render this beautiful track around, his childhood, and his teachings, to present to his devotees.”

Produced by Siddharth Kumar Tewary, ‘Haathi Ghoda Paalki Jai Kanhaiya Laal Ki’ is coming soon on Star Bharat.

‘Bigg Boss OTT’ contestant Divya Agarwal recently opened up about the remarks made by Karan Johar against her.

While speaking to Akshara Singh, she said: “I won’t change myself because of Karan’s criticism.”

She spoke about his (Karan’s) opinion about her and said that he doesn’t have the right to talk so nastily about her, especially when he doesn’t know her.

The actor has been in the news ever since the show began.

Whether it’s her fights with co-contestants Shamita Shetty and Pratik Sehajpal or the host Karan Johar himself, she has been grabbing headlines for one reason or another.

She made waves online but what got her the most attention from netizens was her war of words with the host, Karan Johar.

Claiming that Karan’s statements have made her life difficult inside the ‘Bigg Boss OTT’ house, Divya said that she will speak up when something wrong is being said about her, irrespective of who is standing in front.

She added that she is not afraid of Karan getting her out of the show and said, “I am an artist, and I will continue to work, if not here then somewhere else.”

Divya claimed that KJo said a few things about her which were not true, and he doesn’t have the right to just say anything and everything about her.

She said, “Karan Johar had said such things about me and I am suffering because of it. Why should I not shout and who is going to harm me?”

“…You consider yourself as the king of Bollywood, and you know the impact of your statements on everyone, how can you make such remarks about me,” Divya asserted.

Times are changing, hope filmmakers take note: Rakul Preet

Actress Rakul Preet Singh is gearing up for the release of her upcoming Telugu film ‘Konda Polam’ alongside Panja Vaisshnav Tej.

The actress, who has worked with both senior and young actors, feels that the stereotypes of onscreen pairings are broken now.

Rakul, who has worked with senior actors like Ravi Teja and Mahesh Babu, has also featured alongside younger stars like Sundeep Kishan.

“I think the industry has completely changed today. Gone are the days when people used to think that if you work with senior actors, you can’t work with junior actors, and vice versa. I think it’s way past that… Now it’s about the roles, it’s about how you look and how you carry those,” Rakul tells IANS.

“Times have changed now. Films are changing and evolving and I really hope that the filmmakers see that and more opportunities and scripts come like that,” she adds.

Rakul plays the role of a shephard girl in ‘Konda Polam’ and her simple, village girl look has received positive response from her fans.

“I always believe that you exude your vibe and I think if you are happy within, you look happy outside. If you are happy doing what you do, it will always reflect on screen,” she says.

The young actress, whose last Bollywood movie was ‘Sardar Ka Grandson’, believes in taking care of one-self.

“I just feel that the body that you live in is something that you need to take care of. From what I eat to how well I maintain my body or how young I feel in my head. Everything else is just a byproduct. I am glad that people like the pairing and I hope I keep getting more opportunities like that,” she says.
