Actress Anupama Solanki speaks out on viral deepfake video

Actress Anupama Solanki currently seen in the show Nath Krishna Aur Gauri Ki Kahani, shares her thoughts on the viral video featuring popular actress Rashmika Mandanna and the broader concerns about the evolving capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI). Anupama discusses her apprehensions regarding the dangers posed by AI's rapid progress and the need for greater vigilance in the digital age.The video featuring Rashmika Mandanna's image superimposed onto another individual has garnered widespread attention on social media platforms, rekindling discussions about the potential misuses of AI, particularly in the form of deepfake content. Anupama emphasizes the significance of these concerns, stating, "I think it's a serious concern because AI is still in its early stages, but after some time, it will become more mature, and anyone can easily commit crimes, leaving law and order helpless. Today, it was a video, but tomorrow, it could be a crime video or any nasty content."
Anupama Solanki's comments align with those of several notable figures in the tech industry, including entrepreneur Elon Musk, who recently issued a warning about the potential dangers of AI. Musk's concerns revolve around the evolving capabilities of AI, which could be exploited for malicious purposes without adequate safeguards in place.The viral video featuring Rashmika Mandanna has intensified the urgency of addressing the ethical and legal implications of deepfake technology, which can manipulate digital content convincingly. Concerns have been raised not only by celebrities but also by the general public, who are increasingly vulnerable to the potential misuse of AI.
Anupama further adds, "This unmistakably indicates that prominent intellectuals worldwide are aware of this harsh reality. They have already sounded the alarm to the government, but it appears that these warnings have not been taken seriously. Consequently, this situation could pose a threat not only to celebrities but also to the general public. The ease with which deepfake AI can replace Rashmika Mandanna's face in content created by influencers is a cause for concern. While there are undeniably numerous advantages to harnessing the power of AI, our primary focus should be on identifying and mitigating potential negative consequences."

Somy Ali: 'I was picked on when I was a little girl in the US'

Somy Ali, who runs a US-based NGO called No More Tears, and works tirelessly to help save and protect victims of domestic violence and rape, says that she has been a victim of body shaming. She says that when she moved to the US, people looked down on her for not being fair.“I was picked on when I was a little girl and had recently moved to the U.S. for not being fair-skinned and I will never forget the emotional damage it did to me. Words hurt and they stick to you and with you for eternity because it is in our childhood when our personality develops and makes us who we are as adults. This skin discrimination is extremely alive even today and I reiterate that unless and until fair-skinned celebrities don’t speak up about not only this but breaking this illiterate caste system, nothing will change. People will be picked on and looked at condescendingly. Here, I place the burden on the fair pretty people to bring forth change. I am certain they can take time out of taking a selfie and talk about this issue for a change,” she says.
Talking about how this would change, she says, “Famous and powerful people speaking up for change. It’s as simple as that. Why don’t people with clout speak up on these issues or any serious issues? I see American celebrities do it then why not our celebrities? They can do much good and I am not saying they don’t, but don’t do it by playing safe. Be bold and courageous and shun this ridiculous corporation of skin-whitening creams. It’s about time that they use their celebrity power to change the world.”

Shivangi Verma on body shaming: No one asked for your opinion

Actress Shivangi Verma who has been part of shows like Choti Sarrdaarni, Reporters and Bhootu, says that she often wonders where people get the guts to body shame others. She says that she has always maintained that people who body shame, but be put back in their place.“I have no Room for body shamers and unwanted advice! To those who think it's okay to body shame, I would like to say, ‘our bodies, our choices’. You have no say in how we look or live. Also, no one asked for your opinion, and it's not welcome. Let's build a society that promotes kindness and understanding, not judgment,” she says.
She adds, “Beauty comes in all shades! To those who stare at or judge people based on their skin colour is not cool. Every complexion is unique and beautiful, no one should feel judged for their skin.” She says she has seen such discrimination happen and she has never accepted it. “I've witnessed the harsh realities of racism and body shaming…I've recently gained weight for a project that required it and I've been shocked by the negative comments. It's disheartening how quickly opinions can change,” she says.

Right person comes into your life when it's the right time for you:Actor Mohit Malhotra

Given his fan following and the kind of female attention he gets, it's hard to believe that Mohit Malhotra is single. The Bhagya Lakshmi actor talks about the advantages and disadvantages of singlehood."I think there are both advantages and disadvantages of being single. The advantage is that you're just living your life by yourself. There's nobody to answer to. There's nobody, no responsibility,nobody to look after. You feel liberated. At the same time I think the disadvantage is at the end of the day, you actually seek companionship and you do want to spend some good time with someone when you come back home from work. So, it really depends on how you think. It's also like when you're single is when you want to be in a relationship and when you are in a relationship, that's when you want to be single," he says.
Mohit shares his thoughts about love and marriage, saying, "I believe that love is really important before you decide to get married. Marriage should never happen without love because love is what makes people stay together; it's what connects us all. It might take a while to truly fall in love with someone, but when it happens, I think it's the most beautiful thing in the world."
There is no fixed age for marriage. Times have changed and people have become more liberal now. Agreeing, he says, "There's definitely not a fixed age for marriage.What you really need to do is that when you find the right person, when you find that great connection, it automatically, organically ends in marriage and that is the right way to do it. Finding the right partner that fits your lifestyle, fits your definition of companionship is necessary. I think that is more important than getting married at a certain age," he explains.
So, what kind of qualities are you looking for in a woman? Well, there are quite a few. I want her to be smart, well-traveled, ambitious, and have her own goals and dreams. When two people with their own visions come together, they can enhance each other's lives, and that's important to me. Of course, she should also be attractive. These are the things I'm seeking in a partner, and I believe that when the time is right, everything will work out well, and he finishes with a smile.

In this new rendition, as the singer, Mohammad Faiz adds new life to this timeless melody reimagined by Jaani. "Kabhi Shaam Dhale" bridges the gap between generations, with Faiz's soulful voice and Jaani's masterful composition.

Mohammad Faiz's journey into the world of music began at a tender age, driven by his deep-rooted love for music passed down through his maternal lineage.

Mohit Kapoor: Soniya Bansal was unfairly evicted

Fashion Director and Producer Mohit Kapoor says he is following the current season of Bigg Boss 17, and feels that no one looks real on the show. He feels that actrss Soniya Bansal should not have been evicted so soon.“Bigg Boss Season 17 feels more like a daily soap or a scripted drama than a true reality show. It often seems like a scripted storyline, with love triangles, villains, and unexpected twists, making it resemble a soap opera rather than a genuine reality show,” he says, adding, “I haven't been able to see the contestants' true personalities as expected. It's quite confusing because the dynamics keep changing; for instance, Isha is sometimes with Abhishek and other times with Samarth. I'm not sure what's going on. However, I do like Ankita Lokhande, and Khanzaadi is one of my favourites on the show.”
He adds, “I didn't really have a friend in the house, but yes, Soniya is my friend who was inside the Bigg Boss house . I believe she was unfairly evicted and didn't get the visibility she deserved. In my opinion, her eviction was far from perfect, and I think she had more to offer.”
Ask him if he would like to be part of the show, and he says, “Yes, I was approached for this season, but I couldn't participate. However, if I'm approached in the future, I would definitely go for it. I'd love to be part of the show. Just to clarify, I'm not the silent type, so I've said before that if I do go, there will be a lot of excitement. So, if I get the chance, I'll certainly give my best to entertain the audience.”
Talking about superstar host Salman Khan, he says, “Salman Khan is one of the perfect hosts. When he is on the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes, he gives contestants a piece of his mind and there's a reason for it. If he doesn't speak up, the fear might subside, and contestants could do anything. So, I would say he's the ideal host for Bigg Boss, like an evergreen presence that will always be there.”

Hope,on my birthday, I receive some good news : Rashmi Gupta

Saath Nibhana Saathiya-2  actress Rashmi Gupta will be celebrating her birthday on 9th November and she is expecting that she will get good news regarding her work.Sharing her plan on this birthday Rashmi says, "Every year, I usually celebrate my birthday in a grand manner. However, this year, I've decided to keep it low-key because it coincides with the festival of Diwali, and most of my friends are in their hometowns. So, I've scaled down my birthday celebration. I'm still marking the occasion, but it will be a more intimate gathering with just 4-5 close friends. That's the plan for my birthday this time.“Sharing her philosophy of getting older every year, she says,”Yes, I firmly believe that age is just a number. If you ask anyone, they'll often say that the year has passed by so quickly, and their birthday comes around in no time. They'll also mention that they're getting older, but their actions and behavior are still youthful and playful. It's like they say, "Dil toh baccha hai ji." So, I genuinely believe that age is simply a measure of time and doesn't define one's spirit or vitality.”
Often the best gift received on one’s birthday is bought by themselves. When asked what she gifted herself this year, she says, “I've auditioned for numerous production houses recently, and I really hope that on my birthday, I receive some good news about landing a role in a great show. If it happens, I'll consider myself extremely fortunate, and I'm eagerly awaiting the results. So, for me, this would be the best gift I could give myself, and I would be over the moon with happiness.”
Discussing her  birthday wishes for the year, she comments, “It's a universal wish for everyone to consistently rise to the heights they deserve and achieve the success they've worked hard for. So, my wish is the same – that all the effort and work I'm putting in lead to fruitful results and that I can attain a position where I can make a positive impact and contribute in meaningful ways.”
