Star Plus’ Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala gets the axe

If you have been an avid watcher of Star Plus’ show Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala, there is a shocking piece of news for you! According to fresh media reports, the popular daily soap is facing the axe. The channel will beam its final episode in the month of February.

Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala has been under the scanner for a couple of weeks now. But now it is almost confirmed that it will bid adieu to audiences on Friday, 7th February. Produced by 4 Lions Films, the show hit the small screen on 19th March 2018. Powered by a strong storyline and power-packed performances from the lead cast, it caught viewers’ attention in no time and spring-boarded to one of the top-rated shows on Indian television.


A couple of months ago, Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala was moved out of the primetime schedule to make way for supernatural series Yehh Jadu Hai Jinn Ka. It was again shifted back to a primetime slot. The constant reshuffle in its timeslot affected its TRP, which led the channel to decide to bring the curtains down on it after completing 450 episodes.

News also had it recently that the makers were planning to introduce a generation leap in the show, which will pave the way for the exit of lead actor Mohit Malik. The actor had himself confirmed quitting the show post leap as he was not comfortable playing a father to two grown-up girls.

“I was fine with playing father to two small girls in the show. But I do not want to play a father to grown-up girls because I don’t think it will look convincing. I am still shooting, and so the feeling that I will no longer get to spend time with my on-screen daughters (Akriti Sharma and Myra Singh) is yet to sink in. I shot for the show like they were my real daughters and it’s going to be tough,” Malik had said.

According to reports, Mahesh Bhatt’s upcoming fiction show Jannat will replace Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala. The promo of the new show is expected to air from next week. More details are awaited.

​Scarlett Johansson slams SNL’s 'gross' vagina joke: ‘It was intense. I felt like I’d pass out!'

Scarlett Johansson has finally addressed the jaw-dropping joke about her that aired during Saturday Night Live’s holiday episode in December. Her husband, Colin Jost, was made to deliver the punchline live on air, and Johansson, watching from backstage, was left stunned. In a recent interview with InStyle, she described the moment as “so gross” and admitted she couldn’t believe the show went that far.

The joke was part of the show’s annual “Weekend Update” tradition, where Jost and his co-host Michael Che write outrageous jokes for each other to read without any prior warning. This time, Che handed Jost a line that compared Johansson to a Costco roast beef sandwich in a joke about their sex life. When Jost read it aloud, the audience gasped. Meanwhile, cameras backstage caught Johansson’s reaction mouth open, clearly shocked.

Amitabh Bachchan buys prime land near Ram Mandir in Ayodhya for father’s memorial

Amitabh Bachchan has purchased a second plot of land in Ayodhya, this time a large 54,454 square foot piece, located roughly 10 kilometres from the newly consecrated Ram Mandir. The land was bought through the Harivansh Rai Bachchan Trust, an organisation set up by the actor in 2013 to honour his late father, the renowned poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan.

This latest purchase adds to Bachchan’s earlier investment in Ayodhya. In January 2024, he bought land in a premium township called Haveli Avadh for ₹4.54 crore. Reports suggest that property was meant for residential use. Now, sources indicate the newly acquired land could be developed into a memorial dedicated to his father’s life and literary legacy.

Stan Lee’s tragic final years: Shocking new documentary exposes elder abuse and exploitation

Stan Lee spent his life bringing superheroes to the world—Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, and so many more. But behind the joyful cameos and conventions, his last years were marked by serious exploitation. A new documentary, Stan Lee: The Final Chapter, talks about the dark, uncomfortable truth about what really happened.

The film is being put together by Jon Bolerjack, who worked closely with Lee during his final four years. Bolerjack wasn’t just an assistant; he was a witness to what many believe was the mishandling and manipulation of an ageing legend. According to Bolerjack, Lee was constantly pushed to sign memorabilia and make public appearances, despite his poor health. In video clips already shared, Lee appears exhausted while being shuffled between events.
