Eastern Eye caught up with Anoushay Abbasi to talk all things television.

What first connected you to acting?

My dad was a writer and half of my family works in the entertainment industry, so it’s in our blood and was inevitable. My connection has grown stronger with each project.

How was your first time in front of the camera?

I was four when I performed my first gig and I remember being a bit scared in the beginning, but when I started doing it, I started loving being in front of the camera.

Which of your projects has given you the greatest joy?

I always give my hundred per cent to every project and enjoy my work. I know I am blessed to be doing what I love, so all of my projects have given me the greatest joy.

What has been the most challenging role?

I would say Chanda from (drama serial) Nanhi was the most challenging role.

Tell us about your current project?

My current serial is Ghalti, which is directed by Saba Hameed. I am acting opposite a great cast that includes Affan Waheed, Hira Mani and Saba Hameed. It is another project offering up interesting challenges.

Have you binge-watched anything recently?

Breaking Bad is my current favourite on Netflix. It has great writing, and I can see why it’s popular.

Who is your TV hero?

British actor Riz Ahmed is actually my TV hero. Although he is known for his movies, he has done some really interesting work on television.

What’s your dream role?

Shrek is my favourite character. I like how the movie shows that beauty lies within one’s own self and does it in an universal way. I would love to play a role like that.

What inspires you?

You have to be your own hero, so am inspired by myself. I have struggled a lot and am proud of myself for overcoming the challenges in life.

Why do you love being an actress?

I like connecting with millions of people through my work and embracing the challenges acting throws up on a daily basis.

Celebrating the Masters Who Are Shaping India’s Jewellery Legacy on the Global Stage

India’s top 5 jewellery icons redefining high fashion and global luxury in 2025

There was a time when Indian jewellery was synonymous with heritage—something passed down through generations, worn at weddings, and locked away in velvet-lined boxes. Today, it’s a global phenomenon, dazzling on the world’s biggest fashion runways, red carpets, and luxury storefronts. From Manhattan’s high-fashion districts to Middle Eastern opulence, Indian jewellery designers are no longer confined to the subcontinent’s glittering bazaars. They are redefining luxury, one exquisite creation at a time. Their journey is not just about adornment; it’s a celebration of India’s rich heritage but reimagined for the world.

Are men secretly the more romantic gender? The surprising truth about emotional needs!

When we think of romance, it's easy to picture women swooning over love letters, roses, and candlelit dinners. Pop culture has long painted women as the more emotional and romantic gender, while men are often depicted as more stoic or indifferent. But what if this narrative is turned upside down? Recent research suggests that men might actually be the more romantic sex, not in how they express it, but in how deeply they value and depend on romantic relationships.

But let me tell you, the idea that men are more romantic than women isn't all about grand gestures or dreamy poetic declarations. It's about the emotional weight men place on romantic partnerships. Studies show that men tend to seek out and stay in steady relationships, not just for companionship, but for emotional survival. Unlike women, who often have a broad support system outside of romance that includes friends, family, and colleagues, men tend to rely heavily on their partners for emotional intimacy and support.

Beyond logic: Exploring the power of clairvoyance and yoga

Beyond logic: Exploring the power of clairvoyance and yoga

Ashwini Guruji

The world of the spirit begins when logic ends. In 2011, I was invited by the prestigious Indian Medical Association (IMA) Mumbai to demonstrate clairvoyance and the power of yoga. It would suffice to say that the doctors while respectful did not believe in the accuracy of this ancient science. They gave clairvoyants of Dhyan Foundation randomly selected images of some sick and some healthy people. The clairvoyants in a matter of 10 minutes were able to not just identify the sick but also pinpoint the exact diseased area.

In the words of the IMA past-president Dr. Lele, “Your clairvoyant’s predictions by looking at the pictures of the subjects, which were provided by the IMA, are 80% accurate, which is good enough.” At the event there was also a yoga performance and the pulse of the practitioner was noted before and after the asanas. The pulse dropped by 15 counts. In fact, regarding the dropping of the pulse rate the IMA has even given a written validation that the pulse rate of a practitioner dropped by 15 counts after 50 minutes of strenuous asanas. They said, “We have today changed for the positive, our opinion on Yoga and a Yogi.” (The entire event is recorded and is available for viewing.) So what is clairvoyance? To understand this let us understand Creation.
