Arhaan Khan and Rashami Desai began their relationship officially inside the Bigg Boss 13 house and it ended there itself. Now, Arhaan reveals that his family was against his relationship with Rashami.

Arhaan Khan reveals that his family was against his relationship with Rashami Desai

In an interview with a daily, Arhaan revealed that his family has never stayed at Rashami's house. He said that his family was against his relationship with Rashami. Arhaan said that he was silent about the matter as he did not want to make it public. However, he said that Rashami always wanted to be in the limelight and therefore announced the break up in the media rather than telling him first.

Arhaan was accused of staying in Rashami's house, betraying her and using her money while she was inside the Bigg Boss house. However, Arhaan has denied all the accusations.

During a live Instagram chat, Rashami had revealed that she was in a relationship with Arhaan for over a year. Arhaan said that Rashami mentioned that we were in a live-in relationship but she remained quiet when the discussion about her house keys came up on Bigg Boss. He said that he was accused of taking advantage of her and even his family was dragged into the matter.

Recently, screenshots of Rashami's bank statement leaked on social media. According to the statement, lakhs of money was transferred to Arhaan's account. Rashami said that the transaction happened without her knowledge when she was in the house and accused Arhaan of betraying her. Meanwhile, Arhaan said that Rashami was trying to malign his image and that she was aware of the transactions.

Paras Chhabra says he can't handle Shehnaaz Gill, finds her annoying

Soon after Bigg Boss 13 ended, housemates Paras Chhabra and Shehnaaz Gill took up TV reality show Mujhse Shaadi Karoge and were looking for their respective life partners. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, shoots were halted. Many shows came to a sudden end, Mujhse Shaadi Karoge being one of them. At the end, Paras chose TV actor Anchal Khurana while Shehnaaz walked away without choosing anyone, saying she was in love with Sidharth Shukla.

And even after being in two shows together, it clearly does not look like Paras and Shehnaaz are great friends. In fact, in a recent interview, Paras said he could not handle Shehnaaz! He went on to add that she seemed cute only for the first few minutes, and would then start being annoying. He revealed that he did not speak to her ever since the show got over and did not have any plans to speak to her either. Paras also claimed that in Bigg Boss 13, Shehnaaz was only interested in speaking to Sidharth and nobody else.

According to him, the fame that she achieved through Bigg Boss 13 also got on her head, and she acted too proud even during her Mujhse Shaadi Karoge days.

Wonder what Shehnaaz has to say to all these allegations!

Should Ramayan actors receive royalty? Arun Govil, Dipika Chikhlia and Moti Sagar react

Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan when it was first telecast fetched no substantial monetary rewards for the actors. In fact one of the actors on the show confidentially divulged that the actors were paid “a pittance” for their participation in the year-long series. Now when the series has acquired renewed fame some kind of remunerative compensation seems legitimate to actors who gave a year of their lives to Ramayan.

Should Ramayan actors receive royalty Arun Govil, Dipika Chikhlia and Moti Sagar react

Says Dipika Chikhlia who played Sita, “I think we should get royalty. We had no money when we shot (the serial). But also now (we haven’t been given any monetary compensation). Arun Govil who played Rama agrees with Ms Chikhlia. “There was little money back then. Now when the series has had a hugely successful re-run some royalty seems right. Yes, why not?”

Moti Sagar, the son of the Ramayan producer-director Ramanand Sagar says, “I think this issue should be addressed to Doordarshan who hold the telecast rights of our serial. We (the Sagar production house) paid what we had to when the serial was made. Now it is up to Doordarshan to look into this matter. If the artistes are saying they should get royalty, then they must have reason to feel that way. How can I say anything about it?”

The Sagars are pleased with the attention that Ramayan has got. Says Moti Sagar, “After Ramayan, Doordarshan is showing our Shri Krishna. It gives us Sagars great pleasure that the young generations of our country are being familiarized with our religion and heritage through our serials. And now because of the popularity and success of Ramayan, our war film 1971 , directed by my son Amrit Sagar and released in 2007, which we downloaded on our YouTube channel has got an unprecedented viewership,” says Moti Sagar. Maybe the actors of 1971 should start seeking compensation too.

"It's been 10 years but it just feels like I started off yesterday - the journey is so fresh in my mind" - Jacqueline Fernandez

How are you spending your time during these times of isolation?
I love spending time with oneself. And, this time of isolation is letting to me do that. Even though at home, I am trying to be very productive in doing things that I love the most - yoga, self-care and self-love. People call me happy and vibrant may be because I find happiness in the minutest things I do. I just hope everyone is safe and this prevalent time just ends soon.

"It's been 10 years but it just feels like I started off yesterday - the journey is so fresh in my mind" - Jacqueline Fernandez

Congratulations you have completed ten years in Bollywood. How do you view your journey so far?
I feel blessed to be a part of an industry that a lot of people dream of. Wow, it’s been 10 years but it just feels like I started off yesterday - the journey is so fresh in my mind. I’ll be short on words to describe my journey but I’ll say one thing that it has been amazing and the journey has taught me so much all along. I feel like I belong here and I wouldn’t want to have it any other way.

We haven't seen much of you on-screen lately why are you lying low. Is it the calm before the proverbial storm?
I had taken some time off to focus on my craft and learn new skills. I was taking projects as per my convenience and what in terms of quality and learning I want to seek more. I just was a part of a music video which recently released. Everyone seems to have liked and now, steadily you will see more of me on various platforms. I am excited for all the forthcoming projects.

How do you see the changes within the Indian film industry since you came in with Aladin?
Not much changes actually. The industry has always been very welcoming of newcomers and has, respected people who have proved their worth with sheer talent and hard work. The difference that I now see is in terms of content. A lot of quality driven content is now being made and the platform of viewership is no longer restricted to the big screen. What matters is that, the end product should reach the audiences. This shift in this ideology is what I love the most.

As a single woman in the entertainment industry have you faced harassment of any sort? If yes, how did you cope with it?
I have actually not faced any harassment of any sort and hence, I don’t think I would be the right person to comment on this.

What is your advice to girls and women who come to the Indian entertainment industry from the outside like you did?
I have always believed that hard work and talent finds its way even through the darkest tunnel. Keep dreaming and believe in your dreams. This is what I would like to convey to every person who dreams of being a part of this industry, that self-belief and hard work will earn you everything. The process may be different for everyone but the outcome will be one to cherish. So guys and girls have faith and embark on this beautiful journey with complete confidence.

Tell me about your future plans? Is it true you are doing a Telugu film with Pawan Kalyan?
Well, there is a lot in store for future. Ha ha! But, I can’t really talk about the upcoming projects since the announcements are in the pipeline. You will hear soon once the official announcements are made. Hopefully soon. Fingers crossed.

Says Neil, “We are all elated that she is back. All of us celebrated her safe return. She had a warm welcome back home. Without a doubt the managing committee and the entire society have followed the norms brilliantly and looked after each other. Daily essentials are being taken care of and the entire managing committee is on top of everything. Hats off to them to handle the needs of more than 600 families. The security is strong and there is a list of strong guidelines sent out to all residents to follow. For our safety and the safety of others, it's best we do that.”

Neil has a little baby girl who finds it hard to stay indoors uninterrupted for so long. Says Neil, “Through the day she needs some sort of entertainment. We keep her busy with books from the time she is up in the morning till about lunch time. Post lunch we keep her active by playing a sport with her so she gets tired. She sleeps post that till about 5:30 pm, post which is the difficult time because then she demands to go down seeing the garden from our window. So we need to engage her with other errands. So we try diverting her attention. For a while in the day she gets to see her favourite Cocomelon. She is 1 year 7 months old. But she has learnt colours, animal names, shapes, and even some nursery rhymes that she loves singing in her gibberish style.”
