Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si actress Sayli Salunkhe invests in Kia Seltos

Sayli Salunkhe, who was last seen in Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si, is all excited to feature as the leading lady of the new show Pukaar which will be premiering on Sony Entertainment Television soon. The actress, known to embrace each role she performs with all her heart, is also picky and analytic when it comes to them. Likewise, she’s also choosy in every single thing she wants in her life too! Recently the actress made one more major tick on her bucketlist by splurging on a new pair of wheels.

Yes, Sayali Salunkhe decided to purchase the new Kia Seltos which she recently brought home. We hear that the actress decided to opt for a sleek and sophisticated car which perfectly blends with her vibrant personality, bold character and her relish for sophistication. A source close to the actress added, “The journey of Sayli has always been seen as a short film that is so inspiring  for the audience and the aspiring actors that revolves around a girl hustling for her dreams to become an actor carving herself according to her niche and gradually becoming a well-known name in each household, Sayli proved herself and Kia Seltos is the proof and reward for his dedication and consistency.”

“Choosing Seltos reflects her eco-conscious mindset which is perfectly paired with the eco-friendly and sustainable features of the car which not only lays a positive impact on the environment but also doesn’t compromise on performance and luxury,” added the source. In fact, it is also being said that for Sayli, it isn’t just a car but definitely a sign of her personal success as she marked her own journey in the world of Hindi Television screen. Despite marking such a huge moment, Sayli has refrained from sharing these details on social media.

For the unversed, Sayli Salunkhe kicked off her television debut with Mehendi Hai Rachne Wali, and last, she was seen in the role of Vandana Karmarkar in the show Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si alongside Mohit Malik on Star Plus.

Ashutosh Rana addresses controversy over alleged deepfake video supporting political party

Actor Ashutosh Rana had spoken out about his deepfake video in behalf of a political party. Speaking with India Today, Ashutosh further stated that AI can add a person’s face to any video, which may “even lead to your character assassination”. According to the article, the deepfake video showed him delivering a poem with the BJP logo, which is used to campaign for the political party.

Ashutosh said, “Today, your face can be added to any video, and that could even lead to your character assassination. And even if that happens someday, I would only be answerable to my wife (Renuka Shahane), my two kids, my parents, who are no longer alive, and my guru. Otherwise, I really don’t care. However, I will say it again, that one has to be cautious. It takes years to build an image and just a day to destroy it.”

When asked if he would join politics, Ashutosh shared, “Usually, it happens that way, but it has been the other way for me. Before I became abhineta (actor), I was a neta (politician). This is why people feel that I would soon join the sansad (Parliament). But not everyone can be in the Parliament, some people are on the road, part of the crowd. And I am one of them. I really feel if the public is awakened, that’s when the Parliament also shines.”

Previously, other actors, including Aamir Khan, Ranveer Singh, Katrina Kaif, and Rashmika Mandanna, were the subjects of deepfakes.

Ashutosh is currently playing a journalist in Raj Acharya’s film ‘Murder in Mahim’. The web series is a social commentary that delves into a terrifying murder mystery and Mumbai’s underbelly, focusing on the mending of a lost relationship between Peter (Ashutosh Rana) and Jende (Vijay Raaz).

Tipping Point Films is producing ‘Murder in Mahim’, an adaptation of author Jerry Pinto’s critically praised novel. Shivani Raghuvanshi and Shivaji Satam play crucial parts. Murder in Mahim is currently streaming on JioCinema.

Aside from Murder in Mahim, Ashutosh will also appear in War 2.

Ratna Pathak opens up about Naseeruddin Shah’s family for accepting inter-faith marriage

Naseeruddin Shah, a veteran actor, married Ratna Pathak Shah in 1982. After decades of marriage, Ratna has spoken up about her family’s attitude to their union and how Naseeruddin’s family was more tolerant than her own. She also discussed the secret to a successful marriage.

In an interview with Hauterrfly, Ratna was asked if her family objected to her marriage with Naseeruddin. The actor said, “My dad was not entirely happy, but unfortunately, he passed away before we got married. Maa and Naseer had a more rocky relationship but they settled also and eventually became friends.”

Ratna continued, “Naseer’s family surprisingly didn’t make a fuss at all. Not once did anybody ever even mention the ‘C’ word, convert. Nobody said anything about me. They just accepted me for what I am. I’m very, very lucky because I’ve heard of people who have trouble settling down. Afterwards, I’ve been friends with all of them, including my mother-in-law, who was a very homebound kind of person but extremely liberal in every situation.”

The actor also discussed her connection with Naseeruddin and how gender roles are not definite in marriage.  She said, “Just listen to each other, man. Actually talk to each other. I respect him and his struggles very much more than my own because I got it easy. Naseer comes from a very traditional, particular kind of background.”

Speaking about the secrets of a successful marriage, she said, “Naseer said to me very early on in our relationship that it’s a good idea never to label a relationship, husband, wife, lover, girlfriend, boyfriend. Why label if you can just keep yourself more at the level of human beings, interact. It helps, and luckily, we were able to do that with our children as well.”

Kareena Kapoor Khan receives court notice over her book’s title Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Pregnancy Bible

Kareena Kapoor Khan has found herself embroiled in a legal tussle regarding her book titled ‘Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Pregnancy Bible’. The Madhya Pradesh High Court has issued a notice to the actress after a petition was filed by advocate Christopher Anthony expressing his angst over the use of the word ‘Bible’ in the title of her book. In his petition, he has contended that the book’s title, specifically the use of the word “Bible,” is disrespectful to the Christian community.

Anthony alleges that Kapoor Khan’s choice of title seeks to exploit the revered status of the Bible for publicity, deeming it inappropriate to draw parallels between her pregnancy journey and the sacred text of Christianity. “Bible is the holy book of Christianity all over the world and it is wrong to compare Kareena Kapoor Khan’s pregnancy with the Bible,” he reportedly said in the statement. Justice Gurpal Singh Ahluwalia, presiding over a single-judge bench, has summoned Kareena Kapoor Khan to provide an explanation for her decision to incorporate ‘Bible’ in the book’s title. Not only the actress but also the book’s sellers have been served notice.

Initially, Anthony sought legal recourse through the police, urging them to file an FIR against Kapoor Khan upon the book’s release in 2021 but they declined to register the complaint. Subsequently, his petition was rejected by the lower court on the grounds of insufficient evidence to establish the alleged offense. Undeterred, Anthony pursued the matter to the Additional Sessions Court, where his plea was once again dismissed.

Speaking of Kareena Kapoor Khan, the actress decided to write this book to share her journey towards motherhood and her experiences which have been compiled together in this book. The actress, during the book launch, had revealed that her aim was to help future mothers to understand how to deal with motherhood and the challenges that they experience physically, mentally, and emotionally during this integral phase of their lives.

Superstar Singer 3: 12-year-old singer ignites passion for singing in Meenakshi Seshadri

This Saturday, Sony Entertainment Television’s homegrown kids singing reality show, Superstar Singer 3, will welcome yesteryear star, Meenakshi Seshadri. In a heartfelt tribute to the Bollywood icon, the stage will come alive with some soul-stirring melodies of folk music in the ‘Meenakshi Seshadri Special’ episode. Under the guidance of Super Judge Neha Kakkar and the esteemed captains’ panel, the little dynamite will deliver some captivating performances, compelling Meenakshi to take a walk down memory lane and she will share interesting anecdotes about her acting career, making for a delightful watch.

The exceptionally talented 12-year-old, Atharv Bakshi from Hazaribagh, Jharkhand will leave everyone in awe of his rendition of ‘Jab Se Tumko Dekha Hai Sanam’ from the film Damini. Super Judge Neha Kakkar complimented him after the act, saying, “Atharva, I can’t recall a single performance where you’ve missed a beat. Each time you grace the stage, you leave us thoroughly impressed. Your consistency is unmatched with every song, making us a devoted fan of yours. It’s a joy to witness your talent shine on our show. Who knows, Superstar Singer might soon be synonymous with Atharva. You’re truly gifted, and I feel blessed to be a part of your journey. Keep shining, Atharva.”

His captivating performance not only garnered unanimous praise from the captains, and the Super Judge, but also from the revered actress Meenakshi Seshadri as well. Captivated by the performance, Meenakshi Seshadri said, “Oh my god, you poured your heart and soul into this song with so much emotion, capturing every detail with such finesse. Singing romantic songs may seem easy, but it’s quite challenging because bringing out the expressions and conveying the true meaning of the words requires a skilled singer, and you’ve demonstrated that beautifully. “

The veteran actress further added, “But another feeling is arising within me now, as I watch these talented singers, I’m reminded of my childhood when I had learned music like them, but I didn’t pursue it seriously because I always prioritized dance. Balancing both is quite difficult, but today, at this stage, I’m feeling the urge to sing. So, as the tradition of guru and shishya is being followed here, I’d like to ask Atharv if he could play the role of the Guru for me, and I become his student. Could you teach me something please?”

With excitement, Atharv accepts her request and teaches Meenakshi ji a few lines, which compels Super Judge Neha Kakkar to say, “I’m truly overwhelmed, it was such a heartwarming experience when Meenakshi Mam asked Atharva to teach her a few lines. It’s such a significant gesture, considering she’s a superstar herself. The song she sang was incredibly beautiful and filled us with joy. God bless you, Mam. So beautiful.”

Tune into Superstar Singer 3 every Saturday and Sunday at 8 PM only on Sony Entertainment Television!
