I don’t know about their appearances, but I believe that they both perform really well.”

    Actress Sharmin Segal has talked about how she handles online harassment and criticism of her work in a podcast interview before the web series’ ‘HeeraMandi’ release earlier this month.

    “I feel a lot of pressure, and sometimes it shows in strange ways. But I have a great support system. My sister is my strongest support; she’s also an assistant director on the show. This setup allows me to vent when I need to.”

    She continued by saying that she won’t keep putting too much pressure on herself. “I want to prove myself, but I’m also realistic now. I hope everyone loves Alamzeb [her character in Heeramandi], but some people will always have their opinions.”
    Segal was called the weakest member of the ‘Heeramandi’ ensemble cast, and fans questioned why Sanjay Leela Bhansali gave her such a big role based only on their relationship. The star disabled comments on her most recent Instagram photos in response to the vicious bullying that was going on on social media. For those who don’t know , Segal is the niece of director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who previously worked with him on successful films such as ‘Bajirao Mastani,’ and ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ before making her cinematic debut in ‘Malaal’.

    Is The Great Indian Kapil Show really ending? Ed Sheeran’s guest spot raises questions


    The Great Indian Kapil Show programme on Netflix has refuted speculations that the programme was cancelled.

    The show started off by relaying rumours on Instagram that The Great Indian Kapil Show was about to be cancelled.

    They posted a caption on Instagra, “Kuch toh log kahenge, logo ka kaam hai kehna,
    Humara kaam toh hai aapko hasate rehna ”

    Athletes like Sania Mirza, Saina Nehwal, and Mary Kom, as well as Indian celebrities like Janhvi Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Farah Khan, Anil Kapoor, and Badshah, were shown in the advertisement for the Kapil Sharma-hosted show.
    However, the unexpected announcement that musician Ed Sheeran will be appearing in future editions of the show as a guest startled viewers.

    After rumours circulated that Kapil Sharma had filmed The Great Indian Kapil Show’s final episode, viewers were relieved to hear the good news.

    It is important to note that The Great Indian Kapil Show is ending its broadcast, as Archana Puran Singh has already informed.

    She said, “We finished shooting season one of TGIKS (The Great Indian Kapil Show). Yesterday, we filmed the last episode of the season. We had a lot of fun and celebrated on the sets. The journey on the show has been amazing so far. It was a delightful experience, and we had some fantastic times on the sets.”

  • Mishi Khan, Abrar ul Haq continue with their spat over Bollywood

    Mishi Khan, Abrar ul Haq continue with their spat over Bollywood

    As people who like drama and gossip, we were entertained by actor Mishi Khan and singer Abrarul Haq trading blows. But the war of words is now getting to be a bit repetitive. After Abrarul Haq responded to Mishi’s earlier comments about his Bollywood claims, Mishi posted another video on her Instagram, along with a caption making fun of the Bilo singer. She asked why he talked about a project he was offered 12 years ago. She wondered why he brought it up now when it doesn’t matter anymore.

    Mishi continued to criticize Abrar for struggling to say her name in his video. She said he seemed like he was reading from a script, and she didn’t feel sorry for what she said before. “Yes, I laughed at you, and I admit that,” she said. “But do you remember when I supported you when you were a teacher? Nobody knew you then! You even appeared on my channel once!”

    Expressing her feelings in her caption, Mishi said, “Stay focused and don’t act like you don’t know me. Whoever gave you the script did a bad job. Yes, I made fun of it because I thought it was funny. Just because we’re in the same industry doesn’t mean I have to say yes or agree with everything. I was never overly polite.” Finishing her post, Mishi added, “For me, the Bollywood offer was recent news because I’m not your obsessed fan keeping track of your offers. I hope you remember my name. It’s not Mushy, it’s Mishi.”

    For those who don’t know, the singer recently said in an interview that he turned down a chance to act in Bollywood alongside Katrina Kaif because the movie didn’t match his moral beliefs. Mishi then questioned why Abrar didn’t talk about this before. Abrar responded with his own video, questioning the morals of those who see a Bollywood offer as an honor and asked people to focus on his charity work instead. Whether Abrar will respond to Mishi’s second attack with another video is uncertain.

    Imtiaz Ali was advised against casting Shahid Kareena in ‘Jab We Met’

    Bollywood filmmaker Imtiaz Ali has revealed quite shockingly, that he was advised against casting A-listers Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor in his cult hit film ‘Jab We Met.’
    Director Imtiaz Ali, who recently made a biopic film on Indian Punjabi singer ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’, said in a recent interview that he defied suggestions and cast Shahid and Kareena Kapoor in ‘Jab We Met’. The film proved to be a pivotal moment in their careers, achieving cult status over time.


    Imtiaz Ali said, “Fortunately, I have had different opportunities in my career with the supposed success of, or the position of stars, to put it that way.”
    He also said “I remember Shahid and Kareena visiting Jab We Met once. They were not doing well at the time. But it was very successful. You know, people really love that movie, don’t they? So, as a filmmaker, I believe I shouldn’t treat the film industry like the stock market,” said the filmmaker. “Making guesses isn’t what a film director, filmmaker, or producer should be focused on. Instead, we should recognize the potential of each actor for the roles we offer them.”
