Shilpa Shetty Kundra shares cryptic posts on making ‘mistakes’

Actor Shilpa Shetty Kundra, amid an ongoing controversy involving her businessman husband Raj Kundra, has posted a cryptic message on social media about making mistakes.

Raj Kundra has come under the radar for his reported connection to a pornography racket. He was recently remanded to judicial custody for several days.

Shilpa on Thursday shared an excerpt from a book on her Instagram Stories.

It starts with a quote by Sophia Loren, which read: “Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.”

The note then read: “We can’t make our lives interesting without making a few mistakes here and there. We hope that they won’t be dangerous mistakes or mistakes that hurt other people. But there will be mistakes.”

“We can see our mistakes as things we’d like to forget or as our most interesting, challenging and stimulating experiences. Not because of the mistakes themselves but because of what we learned from them.”

The note concluded: “I’m going to make mistakes, I will forgive myself and learn from them.”

The 46-year-old actress, who has two children Viaan and Samisha with Raj Kundra, added a sticker which read: “Made a mistake but it’s okay.”

However, what Shilpa was referring to was not mentioned in the Instagram story.

The actress had earlier shared an excerpt that highlighted the importance of not pausing due to adversities.

Eijaz Khan talks about life after ‘Bigg Boss 14’

Actor Eijaz Khan is a renowned name in the Hindi fiction show space. He has done serials like ‘Kkavyanjali’, ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ and ‘Bhaskar Bharti’.

Last year, he participated in the fourteenth season of ‘Bigg Boss’ and quickly became one of the favourite contestants. He has shared how the popular show has affected his life as his fans got to know a more personal side of him when he participated in the reality show.

“It is one of the most popular platforms to showcase yourself. I think till then, people only knew a part of me that was only showcased by the media. In ‘Bigg Boss’, you can’t really act so I guess people got to know the real me,” he said.

As for how the reality show changed his career, he added: “I have mixed feelings about it because I don’t think it has really changed my career because I am not going to pursue reality television shows as a career option. I’ve always been an actor and I’ll always be an actor. I think the popularity is what it gives. I am very grateful for it. I think that is one thing that has made a difference.”

“The perception value does change when someone does a show like ‘Bigg Boss’. My understanding of the perception value is if people understand it and value it. I think people understood the real me and that has added a value to my perception,” he concluded.

‘KKK’ contestants all set for ‘Pie on the Face’ challenge

In the upcoming episode of ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’, host Rohit Shetty is going to bring a quiz-based ‘Pie on the Face’ challenge in which whosoever relates to the question will get a pie on their face.

Posing the very first question, Rohit gets right to the point, inquiring who is the most “boring” contestant out of the lot, followed by throwing Varun Sood off his game to know who takes the longest to get ready.

Varun strategically let’s Shweta Tiwari know that she lost by just a second, before sneakily smearing a pie on Divyanka Tripathi’s face.

‘Grand action master’ Rohit puts Rahul Vaidya on the spot asking him to smash a pie on the face of the person who has the most tricks up their sleeves, but that contestant just plays the fool for appearances.

Calling it a simple answer, Rahul wastes no time in giving his witty response, while smartly taking a jibe at the contestant by calling him a person with multiple faces.

The next target for the host’s questions is Abhinav Shukla, making him point out the person who flatters Rohit Shetty the most. After building up a little suspense, his answer has the rest of the contestants in splits!

At the end, Rohit Shetty asks Divyanka who has not received a pie on their face and the one thing we know, is no one walks away with a clean face.

‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ airs on COLORS.

Nusrat Jahan gives birth to baby boy

Popular Bengali actress and Trinamool Congress MP Nusrat Jahan has given birth to a baby boy.

According to a medical bulletin issued by the private hospital in south Kolkata where Jahan is admitted, both the child and the mother are doing well.

Jahan, who was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday night, gave birth to the child via C-Section surgery at around 12.45 p.m. on Thursday.

Nusrat’s rumoured boyfriend, actor Yash Dasgupta, said that both of them are well.

“For those who have been enquiring about Nusrat’s health, the mother and child are healthy and doing well,” he said.

In an Instagram post shared on Thursday morning, the actress had shared a photograph of herself with the caption: “Faith Over Fear #positivity #morningvibes.”

Though Nusrat did not officially confirm her pregnancy or talked about it on social media, she had shared pictures with her baby bump in June and even photos of a pregnancy-themed cake, sent to her by her friends.

Earlier this year, the actress had courted controversy after she claimed that her marriage in Turkey with businessman Nikhil Jain in 2019 was not valid under Indian laws. Nikhil, on his part, had claimed that Nusrat had avoided his requests to register the marriage.

In a detailed statement, the Trinamool MP from Basirhat had said, “Being on foreign land, as per Turkish marriage regulation, the ceremony is invalid. Moreover, since it was an interfaith marriage, it requires validation under the Special Marriage Act in India, which did not happen. As per the court of law, it is not a marriage, but a relationship or a live-in relationship. Thus, the question of divorce does not arise.”

The case is lying pending before a court.

The actress is currently rumoured to be dating Dasgupta.
