Divyanka Tripathi reacts on Krishna Mukherjee’s harassment allegations against producer Kundan Singh; says, “This behaviour is appalling”

Divyanka Tripathi has responded to Krishna Mukherjee’s harassment claims against Shubh Shagun producer Kundan Singh, claiming that he locked her in a makeup room once. Divyanka and Krishna previously appeared together in the hit show Yeh Hai Mohabbatein.

In a recent interview, Divyanka Tripathi addressed Krishna Mukherjee’s charges against the producer of her show. Tripathi stated that she was “shocked” when she learned about it and felt that such behavior is “appalling.”

“This behaviour is appalling. I am shocked. I got to know about this when only somebody asked me about it in one of my last interviews. I was just shocked. How can this happen in today’s time? Our Union rules are very strong. Yes, earlier, I could have thought of something else. When we started our careers, at that time unions weren’t strong but today, people are scared. They are scared of contracts. Besides this, humanity! How can you lock one of your actors? There are other ways to deal,” Divyanka told TellyChakkar.

Last month, television actress Krishna Mukherjee stunned everyone when she made serious claims against the creator of her show, Shubh Shagun. Krishna, who got to prominence with her role in Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, spoke up about her depression and blamed the producers of Shubh Shagun for her uneasiness. She claimed she was going through “tough times” and accused the show’s producer of harassment.

The 31-year-old actress also claimed that the show’s producers locked her in a makeup room once because she was ill and refused to film. She also accused them of failing to pay her dues and said that the production business had failed to pay her a “big amount.”

However, the Shubh Shagun producer, Kundan Sharma, denied all allegations made by Krishna and accused her of defaming him instead. In his statement, Kundan lashed out at Krishna and accused her of “misleading” all by making false allegations.

Later, in an interview, Kundan criticized Krishna for claiming that he had threatened her and claimed that she was making such allegations only to be in the limelight. The producer also said that everyone on sets is treated with “great respect” and claimed that “Krishna wants to prove herself as truthful, she is making up ten other lies.”

Taapsee Pannu co-owns wedding planning company The Wedding Factory with her sister Shagun Pannu

In a surprising revelation, it has come to light that Indian actress Taapsee Pannu co-owns a wedding planning company with her sister Shagun Pannu. This very company orchestrated Taapsee’s recent nuptials to long-time boyfriend Mathias Boe, marking one of the most intimate, private, and quietest weddings in the film industry. What a lot of celebrities couldn’t achieve, Taapsee achieved that with her wedding.

Taapsee, known for her roles in films like Haseen Dilruba and Thappad, tied the knot with Mathias Boe, a Danish badminton player, in a ceremony that defied typical Bollywood extravagance. Unlike many celebrity weddings, Taapsee chose to keep her celebration under wraps, opting for a deeply personal and close-knit affair in her homeland. The entire event, from the Mehendi ceremony to the wedding day, was orchestrated by ‘The Wedding Factory,’ the company she co-owns with her sister Shagun.

Her decision to get married in her homeland, despite her husband’s foreign roots, further highlights her preference for simplicity and tradition over grandeur. This choice has been applauded by many, as it stands out in an industry where destination weddings are the norm.

Taapsee’s wedding was a delightful surprise to her fans, who admire her for both her acting prowess and her grounded nature. By choosing to keep her wedding private and using her own company to plan it, Taapsee has set a new precedent for celebrity weddings in Bollywood.

Adil Khan claims Rakhi Sawant’s hospitalization is fake; says, “This is only a drama to escape going to jail”

A few pictures of Rakhi Sawant being admitted to the hospital went viral a few days ago. Adil Khan, her ex-husband claimed in a chat with News18 that she has just created ‘drama’ in order to avoid a prison sentence. Adil accused Rakhi of allegedly sharing their private, sexually graphic videos.

The report also added that Rakhi has also been charged with offences under Sections 500, 504 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), relating to defamation and complicity in criminal intent, as well as Section 67(A) of the Information and Technology Act (IT Act), for electronically disseminating sexually explicit material.

Adil has now said, “There are no medical reports. Doctors haven’t said anything. We don’t know which hospital she is in. If it is a heart attack, I think patients generally need oxygen masks, but she (Rakhi Sawant) does not have that too. She is doing this only because she has to surrender to cops soon. This is only a drama to escape going to jail.”

Her first husband Ritesh Singh claimed that doctors discovered a tumor in her uterus after she was brought to the hospital. As a response to this claim, Adil said, “There is nothing like this. When I was in a relationship with Rakhi, she underwent full body tests. She had no problem.”

Adil married Somi Khan of Bigg Boss 12 earlier this year, in March. Sharing the photos, they captioned the post, “Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. We are overjoyed to announce that by the grace of Allah, we have solemnized our Nikkah in a simple and beautiful ceremony.”

Rakhi and Adil announced their marriage last year. A few weeks later, she filed a FIR against him, accusing him of domestic violence, financial mismanagement, and tormenting her. Adil was arrested in February of last year.

Heeramandi’s Taha Shah Badussha opens up about his struggling period: “If you are not desperate in life, you will not get anything”

Taha Shah Badussha, known for his role as Tajdar in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, recounted the arduous journey he endured before his breakthrough role. Reflecting on his 14-year stint in the film industry, Taha confessed, “I have been in the film industry for 14 years and I got nothing.” Despite years of perseverance, Taha struggled to gain traction, with casting directors consistently ignoring his calls for six long years.

In an interview with Instant Bollywood, the actor candidly admitted to resorting to unconventional methods to forge connections in Bollywood, including attending parties and incessantly cold-calling industry professionals. “I have tried to call casting directors and for six years they didn’t pick up my calls,” Taha revealed, shedding light on the relentless pursuit of opportunities that characterized his journey. Describing his unwavering determination, Taha emphasized the necessity of desperation in achieving success, stating, “You should be desperate. If you are not desperate in life, you will not get anything, and I am a live example of the same.”

Taha’s path to success was fraught with financial struggles and deception, as he recalled paying exorbitant fees for auditions and falling victim to scams. “Before I got Yash Raj, I used to go for eight auditions a day. Many times, I used to give money for auditions, something around Rs 4000-10,000. I even got scammed 3-4 times when they would take money from me and the whole office would disappear the next day,” he revealed. Despite facing rejections due to his striking appearance, Taha’s resilience ultimately led him to his breakthrough role in Heeramandi, marking a turning point in his career after years of perseverance in the face of adversity.
