Mere paas phone aaya Arre Payal ek na khushkhabri deni hai, Main inki harr ek cheez samajh jaati hoon. Maine kaha tumne Shaadi kar li (One day I was out and the two of them were together somewhere and they decided among themselves that they should get married, and she agreed as well. And then, these got married. I got his call saying, ‘Payal I wanna give you a good news’ I understand his each and every habit. I immediately asked him if he got married)?”

Payal breaks down

While everyone was listening to the story intently, tarot card reader and co-contestant Munisha Khatwani chimmed in and asked, “Tumko nahi laga inhone bahut bada dhokha diya hai. Aap ki friend, Aap ki best friend hoke, aap ke husband ke saath shaadi kiya? (Didn’t you feel that they betrayed you? Your friend, your best friend, got married to your husband?)” This question left Payal quite upset and the latter ended up breaking down. While Armaan rushed to console her saying, “Abhi toh Khush hona tum, abhi saat saal ho gaye. Kabhi kabhi toh mujhe aisa lagta hai ki inn dono (Payal and Krithika) ki shaadi hui hai (Now you are happy right? It has been seven years. Sometimes, I feel like it is those two who have gotten married)”.

Apart from Armaan, even Ranvir Shorey and the rest of the contestants came to console Payal. The latter confessed that she often gets emotional while narrating this incident. Ranvir applauded Payal’s courage and said, “Aapka dil bahut bada hai (you have a big heart)”. Many of the other contestants too tried to calm her and appreciated her strength.

Bigg Boss OTT 3: Rakhi Sawant SLAMS Uorfi Javed as she supports Armaan Malik’s polygamy: “Payal Malik is not happy”

Armaan Malik, a YouTuber living with his two wives Payal and Kritika, has become a controversial figure since entering Bigg Boss OTT 3. While some viewers criticise his polygamous lifestyle, others, like digital influencer Uorfi Javed, have expressed support. However, Rakhi Sawant, a Bigg Boss veteran herself, strongly disagrees with Uorfi’s stance.

Rakhi Criticises Uorfi’s Comments
In a recent video, Rakhi addressed Uorfi directly, stating, “Uorfi, you are my sister. But what are you saying? ‘If all three are happy, then why should the world care?'” Rakhi argues that public figures on Bigg Boss become answerable to the audience. She questions the happiness of the wives, particularly Payal, suggesting an element of coercion. 

Rakhi spoke about the traditional Indian values of wifely devotion and commitment, regardless of circumstances. She concludes by suggesting that Uorfi wouldn’t understand the situation as she lacks marital experience. Rakhi questions Uorfi’s ability to empathize with the pain Armaan’s first wife might be enduring.

Rupali Ganguly, daughter of acclaimed director Anil Ganguly, began her career in entertainment at a young age, debuting in her father’s film Saaheb in 1985.

SCOOP: Superstar Surya and Janhvi Kapoor’s Rs. 350 crore mythological epic Karna shelved?

The unpredictability at the box-office and some big films failing has led to some mega projects being shelved. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Karna, which had superstar Surya in the title role alongside Janhvi Kapoor who was to play Draupadi has been shelved according to sources. The film’s entire cast was locked, including Ali Fazal, Vijay Verma and Avinash Tiwari. This was supposed to be a big pan-India project produced by Excel Entertainment. The budget of Karna was approximately Rs. 350 crore, of which Rs. 15 crore is already spent on pre-production and look tests.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Though many are told that the film is being pushed but the HODs of various departments have been told that the film is cancelled, which is very sad for many of us who were looking forward to working on this big project.”

Karna was a dream project for the Rang De Basanti director and for Excel Entertainment, the actors too were banking on this mythological project which would be heavy on special effects and world-class post-production. The film was to be released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and other languages as well.

This news of a big film being shelved has sent shockwaves in the industry. The cast is now moving on to other projects after getting some hints that this film will not be made.
