Sudhanshu Pandey recently left Anupamaa, leading to speculations of a supposed rift between him and the show's main lead, Rupali Ganguly. Several speculations suggested that Rupali was the reason behind Sudhanshu's exit from the show in 2024. Now, Sudhanshu has reacted to all such reports and talked about his equation with Rupali Ganguly. In an interview with Screen, Sudhanshu opened up about his decision to announce his exit and shared, "The reason why I announced my exit on social media was because I felt responsible towards my audience. Those who were wondering where Vanraj had gone—I had to tell them that I was not going to be a part of the show. I didn’t want them to be later shocked or heartbroken. At least I told them personally, and they didn’t come to know from other sources." Sudhanshu Pandey on rift with Rupali Ganguly Further, while addressing reports of an alleged rift with Rupali Ganguly, Sudhanshu said, "Even though there are so many stories going around, whatever I said was my side of the story, and it was 100 percent the truth. Stories have nothing to do with reality, so don’t believe them. All is well; the four years have been fantastic. I will cherish being a part of Anupamaa all my life. The equation with Rupali is all okay. I was chatting with her recently. She messaged me about something on Instagram, and we were bickering about it. So it is all fine." Gaurav Khanna on rift with Rupali Ganguly Just after Sudhanshu left the show, another main lead of the serial, Gaurav Khanna, also quit, and similar reasons were stated for his exit. Gaurav, while reacting to the claims, shared, "I don’t engage in retaliatory interviews or respond to rumours. What matters is the work we’ve created together. I’ve always focused on my craft, and what happens beyond the ‘action’ and ‘cut’ is secondary." Paras had earlier said in an interview on Chuddy Buddy Season 2, "Some of my scenes were cut. I wanted my storyline to progress because it suddenly ended. And everyone knows who was behind that. The channel didn’t want to get involved in the process of the show, which was already performing well. It was like, if she had a problem doing scenes with a particular person, they would just remove that person. The channel wouldn’t question her. I don’t want to name that person, but everyone knew who it was."

Pata nahi kaunse fans ke chakkar mein hamare beech thodi bahas ho gayi thi, voh sab khatam ho gayi hai. Aur yeh mera laadla bhai hai, ab isse jo takrayega, hum usse takrayenge."

01 March,2025 09:00 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentTelevision actor Aman Verma, who is known for hosting the show 'Khullja Sim Sim' is now making headlines after his wife Vandana Lalwani filed for divorce after 9 years of marriage. According to reports, the couple was unable to resolve their differences and therefore decided to pull the plug on their relationship. Aman Verma and Vandana Lalwani’s reason for divorce A source close to the couple informed ETimes, “There have been issues between them for a while now. Despite their efforts to resolve their differences, things didn’t improve. They even planned to start a family, but their differences became too deep to reconcile. It was Vandana who decided to file for divorce.” When Aman was reached out for a comment, he replied, “No comment. Anything I need to say will be communicated through my lawyer at the appropriate time.” Aman met Vandana in 2014 during the shoot of Hum Ne Li Hai – Shapath. They got engaged in 2015 and exchanged vows in 2016. In an earlier interview with the same portal, Aman spoke of his wedding stating, “Marriage has changed me as a person. I am calmer and do not see any situation with the aggression that I used to before. Also, for me, marriage was a big step because I lived alone for many years and had decided that if I do get married, it will only be when I find the right person. It has been six years now and I have no complaints, I am enjoying life with Vandana.” Aman Verma’s acting journey Aman made his acting debut with 'Pachpan Khambe Laal Deewarein' in 1993, and later appeared in 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi', and 'Kumkum - Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan'. Aman also did several movies like 'Andaaz', 'Baghban', 'Tees Maar Khan', 'Baabul', 'Chicken Curry Law', and many more. The actor, who was the target of a sting operation, had taken up 'Bigg Boss 9' as his comeback on the small screen. During his short stint in the house, Aman Verma maintained a low profile and was urged by host Salman Khan to come out of his shell.

In one of the episodes, the judges, including Chef Vikas Khanna tell Gaurav that he chose the wrong plate colour which didn’t complement the dish, to which he mentions his colour blindness. While Vikas expressed shock, Farah said, “What rubbish?” Watch the video below. It was incredibly ignorant on the judges' part, especially Farah's.

The three take on goons in a high-octane fight sequence. Kaur says, “The sequence is a perfect mix of action and fun, where we not only got to fight, but also performed to a song to outsmart the goons. What excites me most is how this storyline highlights that women can take charge, stand up for themselves, and fight for their safety and rights. Personally, I have always believed in nari shakti, and this episode beautifully reinforces that.”

23 February,2025 05:15 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentSocial media personality Hindustani Bhau, who filed a complaint against choreographer-director Farah Khan, has asked her to tender an apology within 2 weeks. He also clarified that he had earlier filed a police complaint against Farah Khan and not an FIR. Earlier, Hindustani Bhau had alleged that Farah referred to Holi as the “Festival of chhapris” during an episode of cooking reality show ‘Laughter Chefs’. He spoke with the media on Saturday, and said, “Today, in a reality show, it has been said that Holi is the festival of Chhapri people. Is it the festival of Chhapri people? You? It's not like you have never worked in the film industry, or you don't know about the world, or you haven't done a reality show, or you don't know what Sanatan Dharma is. It's not like that, right? Today, you are talking about Chhapri? From our Prime Minister Modi ji, to all the sadhus and saints, and to the 100 crore people of India, Holi is celebrated. And you are calling all these people Chhapri?”. He further mentioned, “You are insulting Sanatan Dharma? And this is not something new for the Bollywood people. This is not something new. From the beginning of Bollywood, from the beginning, whenever they saw it, they only insulted our Sanatan Dharma, they only insulted our deities and goddesses. Whenever you see in their films, they always presented our Hindu Dharma, they always presented it as filth”. “They presented it as filth in front of people. And no one can call them that, because they have power, they have money, they have everything, so no one can call them that. That's why they have guts. But today, their father is sitting here, Hindustani Bhau, who will not answer them, in a legal way, and in my way, he will answer them properly. I have filed an application against them in the Khar Police Station, that they should be prosecuted as soon as possible, and they should be punished”, he added.
