EXCLUSIVE: Ranvir Shorey Recalls Sushant Singh Rajput Bringing His Telescope On Sonchiriya Sets In Dholpur

written by jummy84

Ranvir Shorey recently opened up about his fond memories with the late Sushant Singh Rajput while promoting Sonchiriya. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Shorey confirmed that Sushant often listened to trance music before his shots to get into character—something many actors do. He then shared one of his most cherished moments from their time in Dholpur, where Sushant surprised the entire team by having his large telescope brought to the set so everyone could witness a rare celestial event together. Scroll down to read what he said and watch the full interview.

Ranvir Shorey On Late Sushant Singh Rajput

When asked if his co-star, the late Sushant Singh Rajput, used to listen to trans music before his shots, Ranvir Shorey answered, “Trance music toh sunta tha woh… he used to listen to music, you know. He used to listen to music to set himself in the mood. And I believe a lot of actors do that.”

Ranvir Recalls Best Memory With Sushant

Speaking of his best memories with Sushant, the Sonchiriya actor recalled, “One of the best memories I have with him is jab hum log Sonchiriya ki shooting kar rahe the Dholpur mein. And ek celestial event hone wala tha, an alignment of the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn… shayad aisa kuch tha, sorry yaar. And hum log Dholpur mein the shooting ke liye. Bhai sahab ne bina bataye kisi ko, apna jo bada telescope tha, woh pura pack karwa ke yahan mangwaya. Garden mein setup karwaya Dholpur mein. Phir sabko bulaya ki ‘aao, dekho event’. Hum wahan pahunche, drinks, snacks — matlab, I can’t tell you what a beautiful moment.”

He added, “Aur main sabko yeh baat kehna chahunga — please, screen pe Jupiter–Saturn–Moon dekhna ek cheez hai. Lekin jab aap telescope pe dekhte ho… You know there’s a difference, right? This is a digital medium. And through a telescope, you’re looking at it through optical light, real light from that object coming to the lens. Direct light aap optics se dekh rahe ho. It is a different experience, boss. So, sabko main kahunga… main toh waise bhi science ka, you know I’m a lover of science, it’s my hobby. Right? But I will recommend to everyone, apni life mein ek baar asli telescope ke through yeh cheezein zaroor dekhna. It is a different quality of experience. So anyway, coming back… this is one of my, not just with Sushant, this is one of my greatest memories ever. Haan, Sushant ke saath toh definitely this is the top one.”

About Sonchiriya

Sonchiriya wass a highly acclaimed 2019 Hindi-language action crime drama co-written and directed by Abhishek Chaubey. Set against the rugged ravines of Chambal during the 1975 Emergency, the film unfolds a gripping, fictional narrative following a group of dacoits as they battle not only external threats but also their own moral dilemmas. Through its raw storytelling and intense atmosphere, Sonchiriya explores themes of survival, violence, loyalty, and redemption, offering a powerful portrayal of life on the fringes of society.

EXCLUSIVE! Children’s Day Special: Manpasand Ki Shaadi Fame Akshun Mahajan Reveals He Still Watches Batman, Dragon Ball Z

by jummy84 November 14, 2025
written by jummy84

Akshun Mahajan, who has already won viewers’ hearts with his charming screen presence and impressive performances, continues to shine with every new project. The actor earned widespread love and appreciation for playing the lead role in Rajshri Productions’ Manpasand Ki Shaadi on Colors TV, where his natural acting and emotional range made him a standout favorite among fans.

On the occasion of Children’s Day today, Akshun Mahajan takes a nostalgic trip back to the moments, cartoons, and lessons that shaped the person he is today.

Akshun Mahajan Reveals His Childhood Dreams

During an exclusive conversation, Akshun Mahajan reveals his childhood was filled with superheroes, animated battles, and simple joys that still stay with him. For him, childhood entertainment meant two things – Batman and Dragon Ball Z. Akshun admits he still watches them every single day, even if it’s just for five minutes. He shares, “It’s my way of reliving those old times,” Whether it’s early morning or late at night, these shows continue to bring him comfort.

Interestingly, before acting entered his life, Akshun had an entirely different dream — one inspired straight from the world of Goku. “I wanted to go Super Saiyan.” As a child, Mahajan spent hours trying to transform into the powerful form he admired so much. That childhood fantasy, he says, made him believe in becoming stronger and evolving constantly.

These shows didn’t just entertain him; they shaped his values, too. Akshun credits Batman for teaching him loyalty, ethics, and the importance of staying true to one’s path. From Dragon Ball Z, he learned the meaning of family and the importance of remembering your roots. He reflects, “These two cartoons played a big part in making me who I am.”

Akshun Recalls Flying ‘A Lot’ Of Kites As A Kid

When asked about a childhood memory that still brings a smile, Akshun lights up instantly. He recalls long winters in Punjab spent flying kites on the terrace, especially during the January kite festival. He said, “I used to fly a lot of kites actually, the entire winter until Baisakhi. Easily one of my fondest memories. And still, when I get the chance, I do travel back home and I go fly kites at my old terrace.”

This Children’s Day, Akshun Mahajan reminds us that the kid inside us never really goes away – and maybe, that’s the best part of growing up.

Happy Children’s Day!

Arjun Bijlani Admits Being Disappointed With Dhanashree Verma-Arbaz Patel Plotting His Downfall In Rise And Fall

EXCLUSIVE: Arjun Bijlani Admits Being Disappointed With Dhanashree Verma-Arbaz Patel Plotting His Downfall In Rise And Fall

by jummy84 November 13, 2025
written by jummy84

Arjun Bijlani opened up on witnessing the real dynamics between Dhanashree Verma and Arbaz Patel after watching Rise And Fall’s unseen videos. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble, he admitted that, while their bond initially seemed fine, it later became strained. The actor was shocked to learn that they had been talking behind his back despite appearing friendly face-to-face. Arjun questioned their attitude, saying contestants should focus on winning positively rather than plotting against others. He added that Dhanashree’s lack of focus on her own game and over-dependence on Arbaz cost her support. Scroll down to read what he said and watch the full interview.

Arjun Bijlani On Dhanashree Verma, Arbaz Patel’s Bond In Rise And Fall

When asked about Dhanashree Verma, Arbaz Patel’s bond in Rise And Fall, Arjun Bijlani said, “Shuruaat mein mujhe laga tha ki theek hi tha yaar, woh bond achha chal raha tha — it was going fine. But ab jab maine VDs (videos) dekhe, toh mujhe pata chala ki woh log mere baare mein bitching kar rahe the. That I didn’t know, kyunki saamne se toh woh log bilkul theek se baat karte the. Aur ghar mein mera jo conduct tha, agar aap VDs dekho, toh same hi tha — it was never different. So it was shocking to see some of the things they said about me. Jabki main unko jaanta bhi nahi hoon. Game mein aisa kuch bhi nahi hua tha ke aap mere baare mein aisi baatein karo.”

He added, “Mujhe nahi pata, unke mind mein koi preconceived notion tha ya phir pehle se hi decide kar liya tha ki ‘Bas yeh nahi jeetna chahiye.’ Someone even told me that Dhanshree baar-baar keh rahi thi, ‘Kuch bhi ho jaaye, Arjun ko nahi jeetna chahiye.’ I mean, what kind of an attitude is that? Tumhara attitude yeh hona chahiye tha ki ‘Kuch bhi ho jaaye, mujhe jeetna chahiye.’ Aur mujhe lagta hai isi wajah se usse bahut hate bhi mila. Kyunki woh kabhi apne goal pe focus nahi thi. Woh hamesha ispe focused thi ke Arbaz usse kya bol raha hai, ya phir doosron ko kaise haraana hai. Agar tum khud jeetne ke baare mein sochoge, toh automatically doosron par se dhyaan hat jaata hai aur apne upar ek positive manifestation hoti hai.”

Dhanashree-Arbaz’s Bond In Rise And Fall

Arbaaz Patel has clarified that his bond with Dhanashree Verma on Rise and Fall was purely a strategic alliance, not a genuine friendship. He emphasised that their chemistry was part of their game plan for survival and shifted based on who held power at different times. Arbaaz explained that alliances are vital for winning reality shows, and their interactions varied accordingly—friendly when he was in a strong position and more distant when others took charge. Despite the game’s nature, he asserted there was no animosity between them. Additionally, Arbaaz addressed a controversial comment he made about hugging Dhanashree, clarifying that it stemmed from his upbringing and personal beliefs about dignity, rather than any feelings towards her.

Exclusive: Mona Singh & Kunaal Roy Kapur on Thode Door Thode Paas: “It’ll Help Families Reflect…”

by jummy84 November 11, 2025
written by jummy84

Mona Singh and Kunaal Roy Kapur recently sat with Filmfare for a heartwarming chat about their show Thode Door Thode Paas. The actors opened up about the slice-of-life family series. It is all about heartwarming moments amid the family’s decision to go for a digital detox.


Mona said, “I’ve always liked drama. I love slice of life stories. These stories help you sit with your family. They are no brainers. You just have a good time. They make you reflect on your life. You ask the important questions like ‘What are you doing?’ ‘Where are you headed?’ You start setting your priorities and boundaries right. You value family life and family time. As an actor, it is also our social responsibility to be a part of these shows. In these, people get inspired to take charge of their life and do something different.”

She further shared, “The characters have left an emotional impact on people. And it’s very rare that actors get the opportunity to do that. So we’ve both been very fortunate in that way. Some of the projects we’ve been a part of have actually changed the way people think. They have helped people introspect and understand the direction in which they are going.”

Agreeing to Mona, Kunaal added, “And I think that this show, Thode Door Thode Paas is also the one that will help with take a little pause. It’ll help families sit and reflect on the relationship they have with social media and the internet. They will try to understand their relationship with digital mass media. I’m just happy to be a part of these kinds of projects which stay a little bit longer in people’s minds.”

Mona Singh


Thode Door Thode Paas is currently streaming on Zee 5.

EXCLUSIVE: Saiyami Kher Shares Excitement On Ghoomer’s Theatrical Re-Release; Reveals If She’ll Host A Special Screening For Indian Women Cricket Team After Historic Win

by jummy84 November 10, 2025
written by jummy84

Actress Saiyami Kher – who made her Bollywood debuted opposite Harshvardhan Kapoor in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s 2016 romantic fantasy Mirzya, is currently on cloud 9 as her film Ghoomer has re-released in theatres. During an exclusive telephonic conversation, the actress opened up about the theatrical re-release of the R Balki sports drama co-starring Abhishek Bachchan as well the Indian women’s cricket team winning the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup, hosting a special screening of Ghoomer for the women in blue and more. Read on to know all she shared.

Saiyami Kher On Hoisting A Screening Of Ghoomer For Indian Women Cricket Team

When asked if Ghoomer producers or she will be hosting a special screening for the Indian Women’s Cricket team given their historic win at the recently held ICC Women’s World Cup, Saiyami Kher replied, “I totally agree. And we would have loved to do it. But most of the girls have already seen the film when it was released two years ago. Because I reached out to the girls then, and most of them have already seen it. So right now, I think they should be allowed to just celebrate, soaking in what they’ve done. And of course, the ones who haven’t watched them, we’re more than happy to host even just a private screening for them. But right now, they need to just celebrate what they’ve done.”

Saiyami On Attending The Women World Cup Finals

Talking about being in the stadium when the women lifted the trophy and her first reaction to them winning, the ‘Ghoomer’ actress shared, “Yes, I was. Well, I wouldn’t miss it for anything because it’s historic, and I was very happy to be a part of the history, and I didn’t miss the men’s 2011 World Cup, which happened in Mumbai, so why should I miss the women’s World Cup, which happened at the DY Patil.”

She continued, “I was supposed to be traveling to Italy with my parents but I made sure that the semi-final, final days I come back. However, on semi-finals day, I was shooting; but I wouldn’t have missed the finals for anything. It was so very special to see this happen. I actually took my dad and went to watch the game because we both watched the 2011 world cup together so just wanted to keep that superstition going (we won that world cup in 2011 so…). And the girls lifted the trophy so…”

Saiyami Kher On Meeting The Indian Women Cricket Team

Talking about interacting with them award ceremony, Saiyami shared, “It was genuinely very special because after we won, the stadium erupted and there was Maa Tujhe Salaam playing and there was Chake De playing and like full grown men were weeping and crying and the chants were like super loud like the men’s World Cup. I went and kind of spoke to the girls down after the post-match presentation and it was just incredible to be a part and be around there when they won.”

On the professional front, Saiyami Kher – who was last seen on the big screen as SI Vijaya Lakshmi in Sunny Deol’s Jaat, is currently filming Haiwaan, scheduled to release in 2026.

Andy Muschietti, Chris Chalk, and More Talk Key Scenes (Exclusive)

by jummy84 November 10, 2025
written by jummy84

What To Know

  • The cast and creators of It: Welcome to Derry break down key moments in the latest episode.
  • “Now You See It” features a major cameo, a flashback, and a trip to Pennywise’s lair.
  • Plus, the new Losers Club hatch a new plan to prove there’s something supernatural terrorizing the kids in town.

[Warning: The following post contains MAJOR spoilers for It: Welcome to Derry Episode 3, “Now You See It.”]

There’s a familiar face that ushers us all into the twisty world of It: Welcome to Derry‘s latest episode. Andy Muschietti, cocreator of the series, cameos as a carnival pianist in a flashback to a 1908 town fair.

Muschietti told TV Insider that he did so at the request of the episode’s director, Andrew Bernstein — “He twisted my arm into playing that role, and I begrudgingly did it,” he joked. (He also teased that fans will see him again in Episode 8.)

Also present for the scene is a kid version of Francis Shaw, who takes in the oddities before exchanging his slingshot for a bottle of water from a young Rose. The two become fast friends and play in the woods together before things take a dark turn; he goes too far and comes face to face with a one-eyed demon and has to use the slingshot to take out the creature’s other eye and escape.

They’re soon parted when Francis’ father is stationed elsewhere, and she gives him the slingshot back as a token of remembrance — even though she knows he’ll forget her once he leaves Derry. It takes 50 years, but remember, he does, and the very grown-up Francis (James Remar) and Rose (Kimberly Guerrero) have a very warm reunion at her store.

He’s there to ask for her help with his mission after finding a car from the Bradley Gang massacre with the help of Dick Hallorann (Chris Chalk), but he lies and says he wants her to help him avoid sacred lands in a military dig.

“That’s classified,” James Remar explained of Francis’ decision not to tell Rose the truth, even after their shared childhood experiences. “We’ve got to get it done, but it’s still a military secret. In my mind, it’s protective of her. I’m not going to say, ‘We’re looking for some entity, and we’re going to take over the world.’ It’s clandestine. It’s a military secret. And military secrets at that time, things that were highly classified, was just a matter of course. I mean, it was the Cold War, Strategic Air Command, Khrushchev, the Soviets. It wasn’t personal. I don’t feel like I was lying as such to my friend Rose.”

Thanks to that encounter, Rose convinces her fellow tribe members to take a wait-and-see approach about what Shaw and his team are doing, and they’re able to embark on a new mission — this time, with Leroy (Jovan Adepo) piloting a helicopter as Dick plays human compass with the slingshot providing him new insight into It. Dick goes into a trance and mentally visits Pennywise’s sewer lair, where his grandmother appears to tell him to leave, and It senses him as he almost jumps out of the back of the bird, with Leroy stopping him just in time.

HBO

Later, the two debrief after dinner with Charlotte (Taylour Paige), and Leroy says he knows Dick was there snooping around in his mind during the masked attack in his bunk. Dick says, based on what he saw, he wouldn’t ever want to cross Leroy again.

“I think when Dick looks into Leroy’s head, there’s a respect for what he has endured,” Chris Chalk told us about the scene. “But also there’s something nice about being seen, almost… Dick gets caught, and it’s like, ‘Oh, will you be my friend?’ It’s like, ‘I can tell you things now because, you know I can do things.’” Chalk added, “I think, for Dick, the first time, going, ‘Is this an ally? Is this person a person I might actually depend on?’ And then, as you watch the show, you find out if it happens or not, if they become allies or not.”

The other storyline of the episode is that of Lilly (Clara Stack), upon returning from Juniper Hill, committing to helping Ronnie (Amanda Christine) exonerate her father, Hank (Stephen Rider), whose alibi has now been contradicted. They decide that they need proof beyond Lilly’s account, so they work with Will (Blake Cameron James) and Rich (Arian S. Cartaya), after the latter says he knows of a ritual they can use in the graveyard.

HBO

Though his prayer for the dead was bogus, they were still greeted by the ghosts of Teddy, Phil, and Suzie as the cemetery began to erupt in an earthquake, as the kids tried to get away on their bikes while taking photos of the spirits on the way out. Once they developed the film, they saw that they’d captured the specters perfectly — along with a clown.

She concluded, “Sabko pyaar karo, sabki izzat karo, maa-baap ki izzat karo, guru ki izzat karo, biwi ki izzat karo, husband ki izzat karo, aur khud se pyaar karo.

Aryan Simhadri as Grover in

Aryan Simhadri Talks Grover’s Big Changes and Solo Quest (Exclusive)

by jummy84 November 8, 2025
written by jummy84

What To Know

  • In Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2, Grover embarks on a dangerous quest to find Pan.
  • Percy, Annabeth, Clarisse, and Tyson set out to rescue Grover and retrieve the Golden Fleece to save Camp Half-Blood from threats led by Luke and the Titan Kronos.
  • Aryan Simhadri teases where Grover’s Season 2 story begins, talks about Grover getting his reed pipe, and shares what will surprise fans about his story.

Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri) has been tasked with protecting demigods for years. Now, the demigods need to save him in Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 on Disney+.

“We waste no time putting Grover in danger,” Simhadri told TV Insider in our Fall Preview interview. The Percy Jackson Season 2 trailer doesn’t waste time on that front either. Grover is snatched by a sea monster’s tentacle and dragged away in the first 15 seconds of the trailer. He’s later heard saying, “Percy, you’ve got to find me,” and we see him tied up in what’s no doubt a scene with the blind cyclops Polyphemus (Aleks Paunovic), who is Grover’s biggest foe in Season 2.

After Camp Half-Blood’s protective border is breached, Percy embarks on an epic odyssey into the Sea of Monsters in search of his best friend, Grover, and the one thing that may save the camp — the legendary Golden Fleece. With help from Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries), Clarisse (Dior Goodjohn), and his newfound cyclops half-brother Tyson (Daniel Diemer), Percy’s survival becomes essential to stopping Luke (Charlie Bushnell), the Titan Kronos, and their impending plan to bring down Camp Half-Blood — and ultimately, Olympus.

So, where is Grover when the peril begins? The last time we saw him was in the Season 1 finale, when he was about to search for Pan, the god of nature. In Season 2, fans will get to see Grover on this quest. Simhadri shared what to expect in Grover’s first scenes in Season 2.

“We join him as he’s in this forest, and right away from the second we meet him, he’s already off,” the actor told TV Insider. “He stumbles upon this satyr corpse, which is very telling of what’s in Grover’s immediate future for this season.”

“We get to see a little bit of what happens to him between Season 1 and Season 2,” Simhadri continued. “He sends postcards to Percy, which was lovely, and we just pick up right alongside him.” One of those postcards is seen in the trailer (see below).

Disney+

Grover is far from the first satyr to embark on a quest to find Pan. As explained in Season 1, many have tried, but none have returned. The blind cyclops Polyphemus is responsible for many of those tragic tales. Grover comes across “a lot” of dead satyrs the closer he gets to the cyclops, Simhadri warned, and once he gets to Polyphemus’ cave, it’s a “traumatic” sight.

“If you think about the quest for Pan as a bunch of linear events that happen — if he’s at point B and we start at point A — Polyphemus’ cave is a huge roadblock that a lot of satyrs eventually had to come up against. And so far, none of them have come back alive,” Simhadri explained. “So it’s interesting. It’s a cool dynamic to see Polyphemus making light of the fact that Grover shows up in his cave. To Polyphemus, Grover is just another snack. To Grover, this is his whole life. And so seeing him step on satyr skulls and bones strewn all over the place, it’s a traumatic position for Grover to be in, let alone the fact that he’s alone from friends and family and home.”

Grover’s dangerous quest meant that Simhadri was doing stunts on his first day of filming the second season, “which was sick,” the actor raved. Another thing that excited him was Grover finally getting his reed pipe. Satyrs use reed pipes to channel their woodland magic. When they play certain songs, the musical instrument can help them do things such as capture enemies, grow plants, and more. While Grover’s reed pipe is in the first book, The Lightning Thief, it wasn’t included in Season 1 of the show.

Grover will receive his panpipe at the beginning of Season 2, Simhadri shared (you can see him with the instrument in the photo at the top of the page). This was something he talked to the writers about including in the second season.

“I’m so glad that we found a place for this,” Simhadri said. “I talked to Daphne about it, who’s one of our incredible writers, because it wasn’t there in Season 1. And we were both like, ‘Yeah, it makes sense that Grover would now have this opportunity to showcase his skills.’”

Grover feels like a “complete” character to the actor now, thanks to this addition.

“That’s his way of fighting,” Simhadri said. “It’s part of his kit, and so I feel now like it’s finally complete. Grover in Season 2 is basically the Grover that we’re going to see for the rest of the show.”

“We get to see him getting his pipes, and it’s right off the top,” he added. “It’s kind of an immediate up for him, which was selfishly awesome for me. It’s cool that he now has this physical evidence that he’s older and he’s a little more capable.”

Simhardri also shared what he thinks will surprise fans the most about Grover’s plot this season.

“I think it’s easy to forget that Grover’s on his own quest a lot of the time, because he can’t really bring it up to Percy and Annabeth. They don’t really understand in the same way that he does,” he said. “They were abandoned by their godly parents, and so was Luke. And that’s why all of this started. Grover, and kind of any satyr, has always had his.”

“He’s more vulnerable than everyone thinks he is,” Simhadri continued. “He’s portrayed as this protector who is solely there for Percy and Annabeth, but this season we see him on his own and what that does to him. The Golden Fleece is kind of the closest that he gets to Pan in a long, long time, the closest that any satyr has ever gotten to Pan. And so to see him be the one to bear that kind of, I guess, divine responsibility, I don’t want to make it sound too religious, but it’s huge for him. You get to see him lose it a little bit. He kind of just fully cracks. That’s something that we’ve never really seen from Grover before.”

EXCLUSIVE: Rakhi Sawant SLAMS Urvashi Rautela’s ‘I’m A Mountain Girl, All Natural’ Comment

Rakhi Sawant candidly responded to Urvashi Rautela’s claims of being all-natural and not undergoing any surgeries. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble, she highlights that many celebrities have undergone procedures like waist slimming by breaking their ribs, a trend she calls “the new style.” Rakhi emphasises that whether one chooses to go for surgery or not is a personal decision, and there’s no shame in it. She defends the industry’s acceptance of such enhancements, stating that everyone has the right to look and feel their best. Scroll down to read what she said.

Rakhi On Actresses Undergoing Surgeries

When asked when Bollywood actresses undergo different surgeries to look better, why do they not accept it, Rakhi Sawant answered, “Bahut saare logon ne apni hatheliyon ki haddiyan tudwa ke kamar patli kar li hai. This is the new style, you know? You don’t know? Yeh log China, Bhutan, Bangkok, America, Canada jaate hain, aur apni kamar ki upar wali do haddiyan todwa ke andar kar lete hain. Yeh style hai aajkal! Log nahi bolte, kyun bolne ka? Unko lagta hai, ‘kyun bolun bhai, meri mast daal-roti chal rahi hai!’”

Rakhi Sawant Slams Urvashi Rautela

During the same interview, she bashed Urvashi’s all-natural remarks. Sawant said, “Par kuch log nahi bolte na, phir Urvashi ki tarah sab bolte hain, ‘main toh born, paidaishi aisi hi hoon!’ Urvashi, humne tumhare purane photo dekhe behen! Please, sabke purane photo dekho! Dekho bhai, ek baat bolun — surgery karo ya na karo, woh aapki marzi hai, aapka right hai. Aapko accha dikhna hai, aapki daal-roti chal rahi hai, surgery se aapko kaam mil raha hai, toh karna chahiye! Usme koi buri baat nahi hai. Aapki body hai, koi thaili mein bhade ka thodi le ja rahe ho! Kisi aur ke shareer pe thodi karwa rahe ho!”

She continued, “Aur is industry mein zarurat bhi padti hai. Agar mujhe kuch karwana hai, toh main karwaungi, meri marzi hai. Kisi ka baap thodi na rok lega bhai! Sabne karwaya hai, 1000% sabne Bollywood mein karwaya hai! Kisi ne pichwada karwaya, kisi ne ‘A’ karwaya, kisi ne ‘B’ karwaya, kisi ne toh poora karwaya hai! Karwana unki personal choice hai aur bhai, unko bhi toh accha dikhna hai na! Bilkul, tabhi kaam milega. Ab mera toh purana dialogue hai, ‘Joh Khuda ne paida karke nahi bheja, woh doctor ne de diya!’ Nakkli laga diya, har cheez nakkli laga di!”

Rakhi Opens Up On Her Surgeries

Speaking of the surgeries she has undergone, the actress said, “Mujhe toh upar se neeche tak sab log ‘plastic’ hi bolte hain — pata nahi kyun! Karan show ke show mein maine kya bol diya tha thoda… tab se sab mujhe plastic hi bolte hain! Bolte raho bhai, mujhe kya? Aap toh real ho mere saamne baithe — main toh real hoon!”

Urvashi Rautela’s All-Natural Claims

Urvashi Rautela asserts that she is “all natural,” attributing her appearance to her parents, good genes, and a healthy lifestyle. She claims she has never undergone cosmetic surgery and maintains her looks through diet and exercise. In various interviews, she describes herself as a “mountain girl” who is “completely natural,” emphasising that her beauty is the result of natural factors. However, her claims have received mixed reactions; while some support her, many online sceptics question her assertion, accusing her of having plastic surgery. Despite the scepticism, Urvashi remains firm in her stance, emphasising her dedication to a healthy lifestyle.
