Bigg Boss OTT : Munisha Khatwani warns inmates to be careful of Payal Malik

Actress and tarot card reader Munisha Khatwani has been keeping us glued to the screen as she doles out glimpses of predictions in Bigg Boss OTT. Yesterday, in a task where everything had to gossip about others in the house, Munisha used this opportunity to tell the viewers about how she perceives some people’s aura. She first spoke about Chandrika Dixit, where she said her aura is strong, and that she is playing the game well. Then, she came to Payal Malik. She said that she is different from inside and different from outside, and one needs to be careful.
Meanwhile, Munisha is gradually emerging as a mature player in the house. Yesterday, Shivani Kumari reacted to Ranvir Shorey, when he tried to imitate her, after Neeraj Goyat left the house. While there were some who supported Shivani, we saw Munisha state clearly that her reaction was immature and that Ranvir’s intention was not bad. She also added that Shivani has a very revengeful nature. However, she said this in a calm voice, unlike others who were fighting.
We also saw her guiding Sai Ketan Rao in the evening. When Sai suggested that playing as a group would make them look stronger, she told him that it wasn’t so. She also suggested that he relax and let the game unfurl on its own.

Vaishali Arora learnt how to ride a scooty for Udne ki Aasha!

Actress Vaishali Arora, who has joined the cast of Rahul Tewary & Rolling Tales Production’s Udne Ki Aasha, says that she had to prepare well for her role. The actress plays the role of Ria in the show, learnt how to ride a scooty.“I had to prepare because I had to learn how to ride a scooty. I spent many days practising because I didn't know how to ride one before, but I learned specifically for this role,” she says.
Talking about the challenges of the show, she says, “The biggest challenge I felt while playing this character was initially figuring out what works for Ria and what doesn't. Certain things Ria says are strong opinions or statements, but she's not a bad or negative person. She's a positive, good girl. However, the way she expresses her thoughts might seem harsh to others. There's a thin line between having strong opinions and appearing negative. That was my greatest challenge, especially at the beginning. Now, I've blended well into the character, and it's easier. Also, Ria reacts differently to various situations, so it's smooth-flowing now. We are yet to see what happens when she joins Paresh and Renuka's family.”
The actress hopes that people love her character. “Right now, it’s early on for Rhea in the show, and I hope viewers continue to watch and shower their love. I hope they resonate with Ria, understand her opinions and thoughts, and appreciate her loving nature and positive attitude. I especially hope young girls watching the show see how love is beyond anything and doesn't discriminate based on family background. This will eventually show in the relationship between Ria and Akash. I hope viewers understand the value of love, positivity, and goodness, and see the importance of being strong, independent, and expressing their opinions well,” she says.

'I am someone who doesn’t follow fashion trends actively': Twinkle Arora

Udaariyaan fame actor Twinkle Arora, who will be seen in Khubsurrat, says she doesn’t believe in following fashion trends. For her, comfort takes over everything when it comes to fashion. “Fashion trends do change, and I am someone who doesn’t follow them actively. Sometimes I feel like it's a difficult task because I'm not from a fashion background. So to keep up with it, I have to put in effort,” she said.She mentioned that, as an actor, she is not forced to style, but believes in dressing up depending on the occasion and place she is visiting. She added, “One has to change their way as per where the person is going. Is it an event? Is it a casual outing? Or is it a show opening?“
Twinkle also stressed that at times people go overboard in following trends and said, “Sometimes I see people are not comfortable with what they're wearing. But that's fashion. Something that you must look at while deciding what to wear is elegance and comfort. These two are my major POVs while selecting an outfit.” She is okay with playing characters who have different fashion styles than hers. She said, ‘I’m very comfortable picking up characters whose fashion sense is completely opposite to mine because it teaches me more about fashion and expands my knowledge. It’s also exciting to take on a character with a different look because it allows me to step into someone else’s skin. Plus, it’s easy since the costume department handles all the outfits, so it doesn’t require much effort from me (haha).
Moreover, she loves to dress up as her character when it comes to promoting her shows, etc. “It is a part and parcel of the world we have stepped into. And that is exciting when people get to see you in different avatars. And it's actually a good moment when people are surprised to see the effort you make while getting into the skin of different characters. So I think that's a good feeling,” she said.
Twinkle’s comfort clothes are loose pants and crop tops. She said they are easy to style and look nice, and she added, “They're comfortable to wear too. After that, it would be pajamas or anything that feels comfortable, which is my comfort clothing. Somewhere the kinds of clothes I can move around easily, and they come out to be presentable, like co-ords.”
As for a date night, she would pick up a comfortable, elegant, and classy dress, or she would go for the basic long pants and crop tops. However, in the case of accessories, she is not sure what she would opt for.“I do not come from a fashion background, and I'm not one to say out loud about this because this is a part where I have limited knowledge. So I'm not sure what accessory it would be. I think all accessories are made for a reason, so I don't know about this,” she ended.

Incredible is how actress Pranitaa Pandit describes her recent trip to Maldives. The actress, who is known for her shows Kasam, Kavach and Uttaran among others, says that she had an amazing time on her holiday.“Our recent trip to the Maldives was truly remarkable. Initially, we were a bit sceptical due to the political tensions, but we are delighted to see that these have been resolved, and Indians are now looking forward to building a strong and positive relationship with the Maldives. The pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life of the Maldives were beyond our expectations, making our stay an unforgettable experience,” says Pranitaa, who was travelling with her family and a few friends.
Talking about her travel companions, she says, “I was travelling with friends who are like family, and that added a special touch to any journey. I travelled with my family and my friend Shiny Doshi, and their presence made the trip even more enjoyable and meaningful. Such friends provide support, share in the joy of new experiences, and create lasting memories that strengthen the bond between us.”
She adds, “We spent five wonderful days in the Maldives. With my daughter, Anysha, now in school, all our vacations revolve around her schedule, which has been a significant shift for us. Our vacations are now more planned and structured, ensuring that we make the most of our time together while accommodating her school commitments.” Meanwhile, she adds that she wants to travel more. “I would love to travel regularly, but with family, it requires better planning. While spontaneous trips were more common in the past, travelling with family necessitates careful preparation to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.”
Talking about this trip, she says, “During our trip, we thoroughly enjoyed water sports and the delectable food. One particularly memorable moment was shooting and snorkelling. Anysha was thrilled to see baby sharks for the very first time and loved it. This experience brought us all closer together and created a lasting memory for our family.”

Gulfam Khan Hussain enjoys a trip to Azerbaijan with husband and friends

Gulfam Khan Hussain, who will soon be seen in a web series called Waack Girls on Amazon Prime, recently traveled to Azerbaijan on a six-day trip with her friends-cum-neighbors. She had earlier traveled to Phuket, Bangkok, with her husband in March. She said, “Ali and I love traveling; we travel often, but we are not click-and-post people, so we end up with very few pictures. We had a short window to travel, so we went to Azerbaijan. I always travel with my husband. This is the first trip we did with friends who are also neighbors.”
It was more of a chilled and relaxed vacation, as they were going out with friends for the first time. “We had a very funny guide who kept saying, for example, even for things that were not relevant, to be given an example. I kept enacting him with friends even after we were back,” she said. For Gulfam, travel means exhilaration. “I feel happy, energetic, and curious. There are so many world cultures, and things to explore, and a lot of times you realize how similar we are to some of the countries and their cultures,” she said.
“I love to paint, I love to write, and I love meeting people and knowing history. It keeps my brain juices flowing. When I travel, I discover places, get to know a lot of things that increase my knowledge, and meet different kinds of people,” she ended.

Manit Joura's Fitness Mantra: Staying fit to stay focused

Actor Manit Joura, who plays the manipulative Yug in the television show Pyaar Ka Pehla Naam Radha Mohan produced by Prateek Sharma and Parth Shah (Studio LSD) , has revealed that he follows a strict workout routine to detach from the stress of the day and maintain his mental health. In the recent episodes, Manit's character Yug has been causing trouble for Radha (played by Neeharika Roy) and Mohan (played by Shabir Ahluwalia) in the show, and his toxic behavior has been igniting wrath in the latest promos. However, Manit has a unique way of detaching from his role and maintaining his mental health.
In an interview, Manit said, "I have realized that mental health is very closely linked with one's physical well-being. The release of endorphins during a workout helps me wash away the stress for the day. For me, staying fit is not an option but a basic need." Manit's fitness routine includes a mix of gym sessions and cardio exercises like running and walking. He dedicates a few hours every day to his workout routine, which he believes helps him understand his body better and recognize its demands.
"I look forward to those few hours I dedicate solely to myself. It is like meditation, helping me understand my body better and recognize its demands. I either go to the gym or, on long days, prefer to go for runs or walks, it helps me stay focused," Manit said. Manit's focus on staying fit is admirable, especially given the negative role he plays on screen. His character Yug's toxic behavior has been causing trouble for Radha and Mohan, and it will be interesting to see how the story unfolds in the upcoming episodes.
