Meera Deosthale talks about her new show Vidya

Popular television actress Meera Deosthale, who was last seen in Colors’ long-running show Udaan, is quite excited about her new show Vidya on the same channel. The television series, which premiered on 9th September, stars the actress in the role of an English teacher who does not know the language.

Meera says that her role in Vidya is very different from what she has done so far and hence, she agreed to be a part of it. “The uniqueness about this character is her innocence, the simplicity. And the storyline of the show is the most attractive part of the show because nowadays there are very few shows which have a message, drama as well as entertainment,” she says.


When asked about her preparation for the role, the actress reveals, “Preparation for the role was as such that we used to do a lot of readings. I saw a few movies like Mother India (1957). Basically, the movies which have a girl or a lady with a lot of innocence. And as Vidya is a widow, so I just thought about how would a person like her be and feel.”

Vidya adds that since her last show, Udaan, was also set against the backdrop of Uttar Pradesh, she did not have to work extra on her lingo. “I really did not have to work on my lingo and dialogues because in my last show Udaan, I was a village girl and it was UP-based. So, I basically, had an idea of how a show with a UP backdrop is like.”

Produced by Mahesh Pandey, Vidya also stars well-known actor Namish Taneja in the lead role. The show airs on 7 PM Monday to Friday only on Colors.

Ibrahim Ali Khan’s fiery DM to Pakistani critic over ‘Nadaaniyan’ sparks social media uproar

Ibrahim Ali Khan has found himself at the centre of an online storm following his message to Pakistani film critic Tamur Iqbal. The critic had shared his blunt review of Ibrahim’s debut film Nadaaniyan, mocking not only the film but also taking a personal swipe at Ibrahim’s appearance. What followed was an angry message from the young actor that has since gone viral.

Tamur Iqbal had posted a story on Instagram, criticising Nadaaniyan for its performances and taking a dig at Ibrahim’s “huge nose.” While harsh reviews are common in the world of cinema, Ibrahim’s alleged reaction caught many by surprise. In a screenshot Tamur later shared publicly, Ibrahim appears to lash out, calling the critic “an ugly piece of trash” and threatening to “leave you uglier” if they crossed paths in person.

Millie Bobby Brown and the rise of cinema’s first ‘stream queen’ with 'The Electric State'

At just 21 years old, Millie Bobby Brown has already secured her place as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. The star of Stranger Things, who first captivated audiences with her portrayal of Eleven, now finds herself at the forefront of Netflix’s most high-profile projects. However, her latest role in The Electric State, a mindbogglingly expensive Netflix sci-fi film, has sparked mixed reactions and raised questions about her trajectory as a ‘Stream Queen’ – a title that comes with both acclaim and criticism.

The Electric State, in which Brown stars alongside Chris Pratt, has not been warmly received by critics. Described by The Independent's Clarisse Loughrey as “punishingly obvious and completely incoherent,” the film’s one-star reviews have been echoed by many others. The movie, which centres around two hollow characters moving aimlessly through a barren plot, seems to be yet another forgettable venture in Brown’s recent streak of Netflix productions.
