‘DI Ray’: Parminder Nagra says Rachita got closure in reunion with Martyn

Parminder Nagra once again takes centre stage in the popular police drama, DI Ray, which returns with Season 2 on ITV.

The actress plays the titular character, DI Rachita Ray, a homicide detective working on a murder investigation in Birmingham.


Discussing a scene from episode 2 of the latest season where her character goes to see her ex-fiancé, the corrupt cop Martyn Hunter (Jamie Bamber), now in prison for his crimes uncovered at the end of Season 1, she tells a publication,

“Honestly, I’m so happy he came back. I mean, I know he’s playing a horrible character, but just the loveliest man—of course, they always are. And it is a long scene, that scene, and I’m not saying that in a bad way. I was relishing wanting to go toe-to-toe with him and the amount of gaslighting that he is trying to put her through and has probably put her through in the past and she is not going to take it and she pushes back,” she said.

The actress continued, “It’s devastating actually, I think, for her because she probably still actually to some degree loves Martyn, and now she’s sat opposite this man who’s betrayed her. And there was a little bit in that scene where he touches her finger and I think she does feel something, but she knows that obviously this man’s a very terrible man and morally, she has to step away from him and she’s not going to let him pull one over her basically.”

She further shared, “But doing that scene that she compares to “a good meal … felt satisfying. And then I left the room and I was like, yeah, you can bugger off. But it was a real thrill to play. And actually, the crew as well, just in rehearsal, everyone was like, ‘Ooh.’ So I felt like hopefully it’s translated on screen and we were doing something right. And the place where we were filming actually, I think was a prison or an old part of a prison, and it was just all very weird and it was a little bit creepy, but it was good because it worked.”

Saif Ali Khan reunites with the auto rickshaw driver who saved his life

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan had an emotional reunion with Bhajan Singh Rana, the auto rickshaw driver who came to his rescue during a life-threatening situation. Their meeting was a true moment of appreciation and gratitude, six days after Saif survived a frightening attack.

The horrifying incident unfolded when Saif was attacked during an attempted burglary and stabbed six times. Saif, severely hurt and in pain, tried to find help whilst wearing a white kurta that turned crimson from his own blood. In his darkest hour, he met Rana, who displayed great courage and compassion.

Speaking to the media, Rana clearly recalled the night. He expressed his shock at finding Saif, bloodied and accompanied by a toddler, and frantically trying to figure out how long it would take to reach the hospital. Without hesitation, Rana urged Saif to get into his auto and sped to Lilavati Hospital. Rana reached the hospital in just 8–10 minutes, putting aside any thoughts of charging for the trip and focusing solely on Saif's safety

For days following the tragedy, storeys circulated about whether Saif would meet the man who had saved his life. On Tuesday, soon before being released from the hospital, Saif addressed those queries with a heartfelt gesture.

Shahid Iqbal Khan: ‘Faith is at heart of 10 Nights, but play has universal appeal’

OLIVIER-AWARD nominated play 10 Nights only came into fruition after writer Shahid Iqbal Khan overcame his own “assumptions and judgments” over whether a story set in a mosque would appeal to a non-Muslim audience.

10 Nights is a poignant and humorous exploration of faith, love, and personal discovery. It follows Yasser (Adeel Ali), who embarks on a spiritual journey as he takes on the challenge of completing I’tikaf – 10 consecutive days of prayer and fasting in a mosque during Ramadan.
