The film titled “Ek Mulaqat” is directed by Manav Bhinder and co-stars Shashank Vyas. Adam explains Manav is her best friend, which is what made the shooting experience memorable.

“Shooting with your best friend gives a very good feel and you don’t feel like you are working. Manav Bhinder is my best friend and he was directing the short film. We enjoy each other’s company. There’s a comfort level we share, and we had fun. The shoot was at night but we didn’t even feel tired or sleepy because it was too much fun. We were also giving feedback to each other in terms of scenes and acting. It took us just one night to shoot it and was super quick,” she recalls.

Adam wants to be a part of more content on OTT platforms. “The content on OTT is doing well and if something great comes up, I’ll definitely do it. I am aiming for roles that make an impact,” she claims.

Shivangi Joshi: Being part of ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ a blessing

Actress Shivangi Joshi, who plays the female lead in the current plot of the popular show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, feels that being a crucial part of the iconic show is a blessing.

The show completes 12 years of run on Tuesday, as well as 3,300 episodes, making it the longest-running Hindi GEC show to date.

“The feeling is outstanding and great. I am privileged to share space with some of the finest actors and crew I have ever come across. Being a part of ‘Yeh Rishta…’ is a blessing,” Shivangi, who plays the lead character of Naira, told IANS.

According to the Actor, the USP of the show is “the lovely direction, amazing scriptwriting and storytelling and the vision of our mentor and producer, Rajan Shahi sir”.

Shivangi enjoys a huge fan following for her role, and her on-screen romance with the male lead character Kartik, played by Mohsin Khan, is popular. Fans have even given the on-screen pair a special couple name — ‘Kaira.’

Talking about the special moments from the show, she says: “I think each and every scene is special to me, but if I had to recall my favorites, it would be the Kaira moments and the performances in Greece and Rajasthan. That was a thrilling experience.”

The show hit a roadblock last year owing to lockdown but Shivangi says she only came out stronger from the experience.

“Each day is a lesson to learn, remember, and overcome, be it a working day or an off day. Last year kept me away from work for a few months but reunited me with my family. I worked on myself, was engrossed in household work, and spent time with myself. These are the best feelings one should experience, ” She shares.

Shilpa Shetty: Don’t blindly believe all that you see on social media

“Your journey, your achievements, your successes, or your setbacks will never be identical to another person’s life. YOU are your ONLY competition.

Bigg Boss 14: Vikas Gupta out of the house again?

Vikas Gupta, also known as the Mastermind on Bigg Boss 14, has reportedly come out of the house on medical grounds.

while several unconfirmed reports have emerged claiming that Vikas has stepped out of the house due to his deteriorating health, there is no clarity if he will be back once he gets better.

Vikas was not keeping well due to a throat infection over the past few days, and admitted to the fact, too. He is also going through a tough time in his personal life, with his relationship with his family going sour.

This is the second time that Vikas comes out of the house. Earlier, he was ousted after getting physically violent with fellow housemate Arshi Khan. Vikas, who entered the ongoing season as a challenger, pushed Arshi into the swimming pool, following which he was told to leave the show.

Meanwhile, there are also reports claiming that Manu Punjabi, who came out of the house after suffering a pancreatitis attack, might return to the house.

Allu Arjun calls ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo’ an ‘unforgettable film’ on its 1st anniversary

Telugu star Allu Arjun on Tuesday celebrated the first anniversary of his film Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. He had a reunion with the film’s team, including director Trivikram Srinivas, too.

Sharing a pic of the reunion, he posted on Instagram: “One-year ReUnion of AVPL. Thank you all for this unforgettable and memorable film. Thank you all. Gratitude forever.”

His co-star Pooja Hegde tweeted photos from the celebration and wrote: “We just HAD to celebrate the 1st birthday of this one! #massive #alavaikunthapurramuloo #1yearofAVPL.”

Apart from the film’s team meeting up to mark the occasion, three rappers including Roll Rida, Asura, and Harika Narayan performed a rap that chronicled the journey of Arjun from his first film (Gangotri) to Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo.

The film, co-starring Tabu, and Jayaram revolves around Bantu (essayed by Arjun), who grows up being constantly subjected to his father’s scorn until he learns of his real parentage. He decides to carve a place for himself within the family he truly belongs to.

Along with the film, its soundtrack was also a big hit, with songs such as “Butta bomma” and “Samajavaragamana” becoming chartbusters.

Bigg Boss 14: Salman going all out with theatrics to salvage dull season?

Not much of what has been happening on Bigg Boss in its ongoing season 14 has seemed exciting so far and it seems, as a final desperate push in the run-up to the final weeks, the makers have decided to get superstar host Salman Khan into the ring.

Over the past days, Salman has been a newsmaker on the show more than the housemates. From crying to going ballistic to making beds to engaging in theatrics as never before, Salman’s footages are getting increasingly theatrical on the show.

From entering the house to making the bed to crying during an eviction, superstar Salman seems to be more emotionally invested in the ongoing edition of Bigg Boss, and that has turned out to be a highlight of an otherwise dull season.

This weekend, Salman entered the house and cleaned the bedside of Rakhi Sawant after Nikki Tamboli refused her duties of household chores. “No work is small. Ye same cheez picture ya serial me Karne ke liye milti to aap log full performance karte isko (you would have given the full performance if you were asked to do this very job as part of a film or TV serial),” Salman said to the contestants as he left the bedroom.

Soon after, while announcing the eviction of Jasmin Bhasin, Salman shed tears while calming Jasmin’s boyfriend Aly Goni down.

This is the first time when Salman was seen getting emotional during an eviction in the history of “Bigg Boss”.

Last year too, Salman had entered the house several times, once to clean the house and once to sort out things between Rashami Desai and Arhaan Khan after revealing that the latter is married and has a kid.

The idea should work well with hardcore fans. After being associated with Bigg Boss for so many years, if Salman gives out the vibe that he is emotionally affected by whatever goes on in the show, it could be an easy way to keeps the viewers hooked even as the season seems to lose its steam midway.

After all, this edition of Bigg Boss has been more about the antics — from the seniors concept to getting previous contestants inside the house as challengers. Only time will tell if Salman Khan’s emotional show is able to lift Bigg Boss fortunes in its season 14 in an overall disappointing season.

Kajol on working on women-dominated set of ‘Tribhanga’

Actress Kajol enjoyed working on the women-dominated set of her upcoming digital film Tribhanga: Tedhi Medhi Crazy and recalled how there was a time when men were not willing to participate in gender conversations.

“There was so much estrogen on ‘Tribhanga’ sets that we completely beat the testosterone. We had too much fun on the sets and cracked multiple dirty jokes if you saw the BTS (behind the scenes) of this film — you would be in splits,” Kajol said.

“We were so entertained during the shooting that we rolled on the floor laughing — it was a blast altogether. There was this one point where Renuka and I had this huge conversation about men and all of a sudden you could see there was utter silence on the set. We realized that all the men around me had kept quiet and no one was willing to look up and participate in this conversation,” she added.

The film, written and directed by Renuka Shahane, also features Tanvi Azmi and Mithila Palkar. It is a family drama about three distinct women and their unconventional life choices.

Talking about her experience working with Kajol, Renuka said: “Kajol is a livewire, she keeps the atmosphere on the set alive. I was so glad to see her involvement while shooting, she made sure that each and every person on set felt comfortable and worked with ease.”

“Working with her was really fun, there were multiple occasions where we were shooting for emotional scenes and before we used to cut, we burst out in laughter as if we hadn’t just shot a serious scene. The trust she had in me and the way she has justified the role is beautiful and I consider myself lucky to find someone like her,” she added.

“Tribhanga: Tedhi Medhi Crazy” will be released on Netflix on January 15.
