Param Singh: The digital platform is growing everywhere!

Actor Param Singh, who is playing the role of Dhruv Narang in Yash Patnaik's web-series called Black Coffee, is enjoying being part of the project. This is the actor's first web-series and means a lot to him. "Black Coffee is really special because I am coming back on a project with my favourites Yash Sir, Mamta Ma'am and Harshita, which makes it really special," says Param. "The main reason that prompted me to take this project is the team. I also wanted to experiment and do something which is not as intense as my previous characters," he says.

Another reason for him to take up the series was that it gave him a chance to do something for the web. "The digital platform is growing everywhere especially in India as the rural population is getting smartphones and internet access. The average time spent on the internet has also gone up from previous years so the digital platform can be a bankable source for providing entertainment and reaching out," he says.


Talking about his character in the series, he says that he has an interesting role, "I am playing the character of Dhruv Narang, who is a novelist. He is very good at his work, He is not well organised and is not good with numbers, taxes and in controlling his expenses."

The actor is paired opposite actor Harshita Gaur and he shares a great rapport with her. "It is superb to work with Harshita as she is passionate about her work and is fun to be with on the sets. We have spent 1000 days on the sets of Sadda Haq, so we know each other's style and method, it's very easy to work with her," he says.

The actor is also all praises for his producer. "Yash Sir and Beyond Dreams have given Harshita and me one of the best show in terms of content and characters. We will always have respect and love for him. Although it's a professional bond, he is more like family," he says.

Ask him what he feels about the title of the series, and he says, "Black Coffee is a unique title, thanks to our writer Shumrit, who came up with it. It's something that is not sweet and tasty but is really addictive. I hope everyone gets addicted to series in the same way."

Harvey Weinstein asks court to speed up retrial amid health concerns

Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood producer, pleaded with a New York court to move up his retrial for sex crimes, citing his poor health and the harsh conditions at Rikers Island jail, which he described as a "hellhole." During a hearing in Manhattan on Wednesday, Judge Curtis Farber set the trial date for April 15, but Weinstein, 72, argued he might not survive that long due to his deteriorating health.

Weinstein, who appeared in court in a wheelchair, told the judge he is battling multiple health issues, including cancer, diabetes, and heart problems. He emphasised that every day at Rikers is a struggle, calling the facility "medieval" and claiming he was recently given the wrong medication. "I can't hold on anymore. I want justice for myself and this to be over with," he said.

Ameesha Patel responds to marriage rumours with Salman Khan: "Finding the right partner is key"

Ameesha Patel recently addressed the curious questions from her fans about the possibility of her marrying Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. During a fun Twitter chat, Ameesha was asked about the idea of marriage, especially considering that both are still bachelors and, as the fans pointed out, “good-looking.” The actress laughed at the suggestion and shared her thoughts, acknowledging that people love seeing attractive individuals come together. She even joked that it was a “great reason” for fans to want her and Salman to tie the knot.

Ameesha recalled how after her iconic debut film Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai with Hrithik Roshan, fans were eager for the two to become a real-life couple. When Hrithik announced his marriage, many fans were left heartbroken, highlighting the way on-screen chemistry often sparks similar hopes for off-screen relationships. Ameesha further expressed her openness to marriage but humorously mentioned that finding the right partner has been a challenge.
