Karan Mehra gets bail after arrest over fight with wife Nisha Rawal

Television actor Karan Mehra was granted bail on Tuesday morning after his arrest the night before, following a complaint by his wife, actress Nisha Rawal, over a domestic flight.

Opening up on the incident, Karan’s friend and colleague, actor Rohan Mehra, says he never realized there was a problem between the couple.

“He was head over heels in love with his wife. They both are very close to me. We have traveled together, too. That was long back. We have spoken on Instagram. I never thought that there is a problem. But no one can say if there is a problem between husband and wife,” he told IANS.

Rohan says Karan was not a violent person. “He was not like this. On Bigg Boss, too, he never raised his voice. He never hurt anyone. It’s very strange. One can’t say what is going on in someone’s personal life. But he has never done anything like this. Otherwise, he is a gem of a person,” says Rohan.

The two have worked together in “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai”.

Meanwhile, according to an earlier report in Spotboye, an FIR was lodged against Karan Mehra at Goregaon Police station on Monday night. Karan and Nisha’s marriage has reportedly been on the rocks for some time now. A fight broke out between the two on Monday night and Karan allegedly ended up hitting Nisha.

Sunanda Sharma: Will consider character-driven scripts but focus is singing

Singer Sunanda Sharma is open to acting offers, though she says her priority will always be music.

“My prime focus is singing. I want to polish myself as a singer and performer. When we do live shows, the immediate response and feedback we get from the listeners are high in itself and I want to be the best at it. So, my first priority is singing and will be releasing my album very soon but yes, if we get an opportunity where it’s a character-driven script, I will consider it,” she told IANS.

Sunanda was recently seen alongside actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the music video of B. Praak’s single “Baarish ki jaaye”, which premiered on YouTube in March. She forayed into acting with the Punjabi film “Sajjan Singh Rangroot” in 2018.

“I always treated singing as a hobby and used to participate in inter-school and college competitions, I never thought I’ll become a singer. I always had an inclination towards music and to train myself I used to listen to a lot of songs and different genres,” said Sunanda, who is known for her songs “Billi akh” and “Jaani tera naa”.

On sharing the screen with Nawazuddin, she said: “Nawazuddin sir was really kind on the set and one of the most down-to-earth people I have ever come across. Not for a minute did he make anyone feel like he is a star. He was very supportive while we were shooting had made the whole process very easy. For me, it was a huge thing to be working alongside him and, to summarise, a great learning experience.”

Sanjay Dutt shares throwback pictures on mother Nargis’ birth anniversary

Actor Sanjay Dutt posted a birthday wish for his mother, late actress Nargis, on Instagram, on Tuesday.

The actor posted a series of black and white pictures with her and wrote about how there is no one like her.

Adah Sharma: Picked up the flute a few months back

Actress Adah Sharma says she is learning to play the flute.

“I picked up the flute a few months back when the lockdown was relaxed and shooting started again. I love playing the piano but the flute I can carry in my bag, (and play) in the van between shoots,” she said.

Adah had mentioned her interest in the flute last year, too. In an Instagram video she posted in October 2020, Adah had captured a tune played by a flute player. She was trying to use her social media presence to help the musician who was struggling to make a living on empty streets during the lockdown, she had said back then, and she encouraged her followers to contact people like him, purchase flutes from him and learn the art from “Basuriwaale bhaiya”.

She had also said in her post back then that her fans would be “inflicted with me playing the flute in videos soon”.

It seems now that Adah is finally honing her skills as a flutist.

Shweta Tripathi on why shooting for her new web series was tough deal

Actress Shweta Tripathi has wrapped up shooting for the upcoming series “Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein” in Manali amidst the second wave of the Covid pandemic. She says the deadline for the particular shoot mattered more than what it normally does.

Talking about being among the first to wrap up an entire series in these times, Shweta says: “This wasn’t just any deadline. If not adhered to, it wasn’t like they’d lose out on the budget or face actors’ availability issues, which generally occur on shoots. This was an entirely new problem: No one on set knew how to deal with it properly besides following protocol.”

She added that everyone was learning things on the job, right from the spot boy to producer, and from actor to director.

Shweta said: “Since we knew that we had a time crunch, we took every possible measure to stay disciplined and efficient on set. The time crunch was so intense that if it was a day shoot, we had to ensure we completed the schedule before we lost sunlight.”

“The same was the case with night shoots. On the last day we were literally racing against the time of dawn to finish the shoot because after that day there was absolutely no scope of another day to spare,” Shweta said.

“Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein” also stars Tahir Raj Bhasin.

Mrunal Thakur: Dad sits with me during script narrations

Actress Mrunal Thakur says that her parents are an active part of her career and she wouldn’t like it any other way. She adds that her dad sits with her during her narrations and gives his inputs, too.

“They were hesitant in the beginning. But now, during a narration, my father sits next to me and gives his input. When I was a kid, he used to take care of my textbooks and school notebooks, and now he takes care of the script,” she told IANS.

The actress adds that her parents get very excited when they see her on-screen. “Every time on TV, if they are surfing or on YouTube, my commercial comes, they will go screaming, ‘you on the TV!’ They are very proud of me. Even today, when an ad or a song comes, they get so excited and happy. The joy I can feel and see is something that keeps me going and helps me contribute towards good cinema,” she says.

Talking about how she got them on board with her when it came to being an actress, Mrunal explains: “My family was afraid of the industry, but I always made sure that I had conversations with my parents so they know where I am filming and that their daughter is safe. In today’s generation, a lot of my friends don’t get along with their parents and they don’t have that communication. When there is a gap between you are your parents, it causes baggage. I was transparent and they always supported me.”

The actress has the films “Toofan”, “Jersey” and “Aankh Micholi” lined up.

Sonu Sood: It took me 19 years to find the real role of my life

Actor Sonu Sood, who completed 19 years in the film industry on Monday, says he has finally found his true calling.

The actor has actively been helping people find Covid resources like beds, oxygen cylinders, as well as medicines, as the country battles the second wave of Covid-19.

“It took me 19 years to find the right role of my life, which I am doing today and I am glad that God is the director of this real film. Today, when I bring smiles to people’s faces, that is the biggest achievement I have to date. I want to thank God for connecting me with the real role that I wanted to play in my life,” he told in an interview.

The actor says that workwise, too, the time has gone by so quickly.

“It has been 19 years since my first film ‘Shaheed-E-Azam’ released. How time flies! It still feels like the first day when I entered Mumbai with a lot of pictures in my bag and the struggle started from going from one office to the other. I still feel the struggle is on,” he says.

The actor will be seen in the films “Prithviraj” and “Kisaan”.

Abhishek on dad Amitabh Bachchan: He is good company to have

Actor Abhishek Bachchan has called his father, Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, good company to have, sharing that when the father-son duo was hospitalized due to Covid last year, it was wonderful to wake up and go see his father, a 78-year-old back then with severe comorbidities, have the fighting spirit to battle the virus.

“Everybody has their own unique experience with Covid, I think people react to it differently. It was not a nice experience for me because you know I had a family that was inflicted by this as well. If you are in a situation where you are under medical supervision, you are very powerless,” said Abhishek, during a social media live motivational podcast with international speaker Anand Chulani.

“Your life is being run by the medical teams so you are not really in control of your faculties in that sense and you don’t really have any power over what you do. You are not too sure what is going on as there is a lot of uncertainty about how things are going to pan out. The initial nights when I was in the hospital, it was tough to sleep because I didn’t know really what awaited me on the other side,” Abhishek added.

He stressed that keeping a positive mindset is the only thing that is in one’s control and it could get challenging at times.

He said his father got him though his sleepless nights in the: “Initially, my father and I were in the hospital together. A week later my wife and daughter were hospitalized. Thankfully, they only had to be there for about a week then they came out, and my dad and I stayed on for a bit longer because we hadn’t tested negative.”

“Well, he is a good company to have, so it was wonderful to wake up and go see my father who last year was 78 years old, a man with severe comorbidities but him being positive and having that fighting spirit to get through this.”

Abhishek added: “At that point of time my energies were obviously directed towards him and him becoming better because you fear for your parents, it’s actually of a sensitive age group.”

Seeing Big B’s fighting spirit was inspirational to Abhishek. “I mean he is also a great friend of mine, so it was good to shoot the breeze with him and you know when you are a COVID patient although you can interact with other patients, there is nothing else to do, you just have to wait around. So, there was some good banter that went on, I mean he is a good roomy in that sense,” he said.

Reflecting on how Covid has shaped his life, he said he is the same person and he would like to believe that even in times like these he always stays positive.

“The one thing that the last one year has taught me is you got to value your relationship and value the fact that you have a happy and healthy family around you. There was a point in time I was frustrated during the lockdown but then my wife put things into perspective for me and told me how for the first time in many years I could sit back, not be working round the clock, and enjoy the company of my family in the safety of my home. That by itself is a blessing,” he added.

Shilpa Shetty Kundra: Combat weakness with Mandukasana

Actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra on Monday shared yoga therapy to combat weakness, in her new Instagram post.

Sharing a video that captures the actress practicing Mandukasana, she wrote: “To support all kinds of healing processes, the main source of energy comes from the core of our being. So, the Mandukasana is a very important asana as it focuses on your navel center, which also happens to be your life-force center called the second brain. It has the ability to give you the energy to combat all weaknesses. That’s why they say, ‘Go with your gut feeling’.”

Talking about how to go about the asana, she said: “In difficult times like these, we need to focus on ourselves; so we can dispel all negativity and bring in positive energy to the center of our core chakra called the ‘Manipura chakra’. Take in a deep breath and exhale while going down, stretching the spine and pressing on the navel. You will feel the energy flow to your solar plexus. Focusing on your navel will help you open your mind and reduce blood sugar levels as it works on the pancreas. It also helps improve the flexibility and mobility of the knee & ankle joints. Moreover, the frog pose helps reduce fat from thighs, belly, and hips.”

She added: “Please remember: people with knee, ankle, and back pain issues should avoid this asana — Tag a friend who should start this ritual right away.”

The actress’s family recovered from Covid-19 recently and she returned as a judge on the dance reality show “Super Dancer: Chapter 4”.
