TV actor and model Aditi Shetty, who is currently seen in Dharampatni and has been part of shows such as Bhagyalaxmi and Naagin 6, says that she loves exploring different roles on TV.

The actress adds that her character in her show Dharampatni is undergoing quite the transition, and she loves it.

“As an actor, I just aim to play different roles. I want to play roles that challenge me as an actor and help me grow and learn every single day. Kavya’s character from Dharampatni has been such an amazing journey for me, I have taken so much as an artist and it’s been a rewarding experience for me. I am nothing like Kavya in real life and I am getting to live an entirely different life when I play kavya. I feel so lucky to get this role and being able to do justice to it is my aim. Having said that, I am looking forward to stronger positive roles as well in the main lead space as I feel ready and confident as an actor to take it up and do justice to it,” she says.

Talking about the kind of reality shows she wants to be part of, she says, “I started my career with modelling and pageantry and, at that time, I was very interested in doing a show related to that. That’s why I was a part of India’s Next Top Model. I feel that a show where I get to showcase my personality will be exciting. Maybe Bigg Boss will be nice to test myself on how I react to certain situations.”

The biggest plus about being a TV actor is the love that you get, she says, adding, “It’s very overwhelming how the audience gives you so much love. I am so fortunate for all the love the audience gives me.”

She says, “Acting is my passion. To be able to wake up and do what you love is the best feeling in the world. I absolutely love being in front of the camera and performing. To just get such amazing opportunities with the best in the industry motivates me. My family and friends love to watch my work and seeing them happy and entertaining my audience is my ultimate motivation to do better every day.”

Kylie Minogue marks 20 years since cancer diagnosis with heartfelt World Cancer Day message

“February 4 is World Cancer Day,” she wrote. “I’m sending all my love and support to anyone and everyone affected by cancer and want to offer a gentle reminder… If you or anyone you know has concerns, make an appointment to see your healthcare provider. And if it’s time for your check-ups, you know what to do!” She signed off with a heart emoji and her signature “X.”

Minogue’s journey with cancer began in May 2005 when she was diagnosed at 36. Just days later, she underwent a lumpectomy and began chemotherapy, which she later described as “experiencing a nuclear bomb.” Though declared cancer-free in 2006, she has spoken openly about the huge impact of the experience.

Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' breaks records on Netflix, stuns global audiences

Just four days after its Netflix release, Pushpa 2: The Rule (Reloaded) has become a global sensation, breaking records and sparking conversations worldwide. Directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun, the Telugu action-drama has climbed to the number-one spot in seven countries and secured second place in Netflix’s global Non-English Movies category with 5.8 million views. Its high-octane action and Allu Arjun’s performance have left international audiences hooked.

The film’s mix of intense action, drama, and cultural flair has struck a chord with audiences well beyond India. One scene that has taken the internet by storm is the Jathara sequence, where Allu Arjun, draped in a saree, delivers a powerful dance before launching into an adrenaline-pumping fight. This merge of bold cultural flair and high-energy action has become the talk of the globe, with audiences both awed by its audacity and questioning its over-the-top execution. While some praised its creativity, calling it “better than modern US movies,” others questioned its physics-defying stunts, with comments like, “How does he fly so high without wings?”

Marvel’s Fantastic Four teaser transports fans to the 1960s in a daring new take

Marvel’s first teaser for The Fantastic Four: First Steps has fans buzzing, not just about the iconic superhero team, but about the film’s decision to root itself firmly in the 1960s. The 20-second clip, devoid of the main cast, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, with a group of children rushing to a storefront to watch the Fantastic Four’s space shuttle launch on a vintage television. This period-piece approach sets the stage for a fresh take on Marvel’s first family, blending retro aesthetics with the cosmic origins of the team.

The teaser’s 1960s setting is a deliberate departure from previous adaptations, which have struggled to capture the essence of the original comics. By anchoring the story in the decade of the Fantastic Four’s creation, Marvel seems to be paying homage to Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s groundbreaking work. The choice also opens up intriguing narrative possibilities, such as exploring how the team’s emergence impacts a world on the brink of the space race and cultural revolution.

Aaradhya, daughter of Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, takes legal action against fake news

Aaradhya Bachchan, the 13-year-old daughter of Bollywood stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan, has moved the Delhi High Court to combat the spread of false and misleading content about her online. The court has issued notices to Google, Bollywood Times, and other platforms, demanding their response to the allegations. The next hearing is scheduled for March 17, 2025.

This legal action follows a previous ruling in April 2023, where the court ordered the removal of deceptive videos claiming Aaradhya was critically ill or had passed away. Justice C Hari Shankar, during the 2023 proceedings, condemned such content as “completely intolerable in law,” emphasising that every child, regardless of their background, deserves dignity and respect. The court had also directed Google to disclose the identities of those responsible for uploading such videos and to promptly remove any future misleading content.
