Singer Abhinav Shekhar’s new song ‘Bachpan’ exposes kids’ reality shows

Singer-composer-lyricist Abhinav Shekhar released his latest song ‘Bachpan’. The song is based on children being the latest victim of the reality show monster and social media trap.

Abhinav said: “‘Bachpan’ is an eye opener for the society where kids are getting carried away with the wrong influence of their so-called ideals. ‘Choose real over reel’. This is for the parents as well as the society. Some rappers and song makers are trying to create songs without any meaning, I am trying to show the change required for a better world.” The video is directed and composed by Abhinav himself.

He shared the plight of kids on reality shows. “We see what has been shown to us. Even though most of us are aware about how real these reality shows are. If taken in a sporting spirit, I don’t think it’s bad, but the exploitation is to the core which creates a negative impact later on,” Abhinav told in an interview.

“I see kids getting carried away seeing the young rap community which emphasises drug abuse as an internal part of the culture. And then these kids feel that it is cool to be like them. Childhood has to be enjoyed and eventually kids should grow to make their future meaningful,” he told an interview .

Abhinav has songs like “Papa” and “Tabaahi” to his credit.

The ‘Bachpan’ track has been created by Mahesh Kukreja and presented by BLive Music, Sanjay Kukreja and Remo D’Souza.

Hiba Nawab explores her mischievous side with ‘Jijaji Chhat Par Koii Hai’

Actress Hiba Nawab is having a gala time playing the characters of CP Sharma and the ghost in “‘Jijaji Chhat Parr Koii Hai”. The role has encouraged her to explore her mischievous side.

The actor reminiscences her growing years about how she yearned to be acknowledged even as a kid, but be it in her school or in her locality she was hardly noticed.

“I was not a famous kid in school. I would be very quiet. But at home, I have always been everyone’s favourite. People started noticing me after I joined television.

“My mischievous side came out when I started doing this show. I felt like I was getting in touch with my true self while performing the double role.

“I am glad that at least through the show, I got to explore this side of mine. In fact, when I started playing ‘Elaichi’ (in Jijaji Chhat Per Hain), I felt like why was I not like her? Portraying the role of ‘Elaichi’ is so much fun,” she says.

“Jijaji Chhat Parr Koii Hai” airs on Sony SAB.

Ava Aashna Chopra shares excitement on debut in India with Punjabi movie ‘Soniye Ve’

Singapore-raised model and actress Ava Aashna Chopra is all set for her entry in the Indian entertainment industry with Punjabi movie ‘Soniye Ve’ in which she is portraying the role of an NRI who visits India to learn ‘bhangra’.

She chose this offer over ‘Bigg Boss 15’ as it is more important for her to make a place among the audience.

Ava says: “To stay longer in a reality show we need votes from our audience and I am yet to introduce myself here. Moreover since childhood I have been addicted to Bollywood movies and am a big fan of stars like Salman Khan, Sridevi, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Katrina Kaif. So of course I wish to do ‘Bigg Boss’ in the coming time.”

She further briefs about her character and says: “It’s a romantic and musical movie where I am playing the role of an NRI who visits India to learn ‘bhangra’ but with time falls in love with a boy.”

Aashna has modelled for several luxury brands and also appeared on the cover page of L’Officiel’s Latvian edition in Eastern Europe. Ava has gone from walking the runway for shows and also was on the first couples edition cover page of Cosmopolitan Malaysia with Indonesian superstar Miller Khan.

On sharing about her journey from modelling to acting, the 30-year-old actress shares: “I started modeling during my teens with many brands. Though movies always inspire me and acting is my passion. So I am just thankful that people admired my onscreen presence.”

Yet she feels that there is a long way to go in her acting career, as Ava says: “Yes still I’m missing the shine and am yet to get my due acknowledgment. But I believe with time I will have it. I’m enjoying living my life of dreams and turning them into reality.”

Kriti says sudden weight loss-gain ‘not a healthy thing to do’

Kriti Sanon walked the extra mile to nail her look in the film ‘Mimi’. The actress had to put on some extra kilos to play a pregnant woman and gained weight in “two and a half months”.

She agrees it is not a healthy thing to do but adds that she wanted to take an extra step for the character as she felt that there is something for her in it.

“Obviously, it’s not a very healthy thing to do too often so you have to make sure…I wouldn’t do this again and again for a character…I told myself I won’t do this again but I think when you get a character which gives you so much to do as an actor then you end up giving yourself a lot back,” Kriti told IANS.

The 31-year-old actress added that she was willing to push those boundaries and go all out.

She said: “I always knew that this is something that has a lot for me in it so I think I was kind of willing to go that extra mile and it made a huge difference on screen. So, that makes all the impact.”

“Bodily, it’s not a very healthy thing to do, especially because I have put on weight like in two, two and half months.”

The actress revealed her weight gain and loss journey was very natural.

“I got my time to lose it…I did it all very naturally…but yes, as an actor you have to take care of your body and make sure you’re not making it go through these changes too often,” Kriti said.

‘Mimi’ also stars Pankaj Tripathi, Sai Tamhankar, Supriya Pathak and Manoj Pahwa. It is streaming on Jio Cinema and Netflix.

‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’ cast nostalgic as show completes 1,600 episodes

The cast of “Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai” is celebrating the success of the popular comedy show as it completes 1,600 episodes.

The actors playing the lead roles — Shubhangi Atre, Rohitashv Gour, Neha Pendse and Aasif Sheikh — shared their joy and experience of being part of the show.

Shubhangi Atre, who plays Angoori Bhabi, said she feels honoured to be recognised as Angoori Bhabi.

“I love it when fans recognise me as Angoori first and then as Shubhangi. It has been a beautiful journey so far and I am looking forward to 1,600 more episodes. A big thanks to all the viewers and fans, your undying support has been our biggest achievement so far.”

Rohitashv Gour aka Manmohan Tiwari expressed his joy and said that being part of the show has been really helpful in his career growth.

“It is surreal to think that we have completed so many episodes. An achievement like this acts as a sign of the work we put in. It reminds us of the smiles we spread daily. Being a part of the show has been a highlight in my career and I am proud to be Tiwari ji, not just to my on-screen wife, but also to the millions out there. I am truly astounded and grateful to everyone who encouraged us along the way,” he revealed.

Nehha Pendse, who’s popular as Anita Bhabhi in the show, calls herself a fan of the show. She is overjoyed with the way the audience connects with her character.

“Being the latest member of the show, I feel grateful to be a part of this unforgettable journey. As a viewer, I just love to watch this show. So I entirely resonate with the audience when they mention that they love to binge on a stress buster show like ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’,” she said.

Aasif Sheikh, who plays Vibhuti Narayan Mishra the comedy drama, finds his character closest to him.

“‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’ is very close to my heart and to see it come this far is a wonderful feeling. 1,600 episodes is a big deal no doubt, but we as a team have put in time and effort that goes beyond just the number of episodes. We have indeed come a long way, and I would like to thank our supportive viewers who have been so kind and loving towards us,” he said.

The show revolves around two neighbouring couples, the Mishras and the Tiwaris, where the husbands have a crush on each other’s wives.
