Eastern Eye caught up with Suman to find out more.

What first connected you to Gautam Rode?

His eyes. When I saw his eyes in the Saraswatichandra promo, it was then that I literally fell in love with him and started admiring him.

What made you become a super fan of Gautam?

Any fan can only call themselves a great admirer when their favourite celebrity is also great. So, I believe that I am a super admirer because our Gautam is a superhero.

Tell us about something super you have done for Gautam?

In an Indian TV poll, on the UK Asian Radio for TV Personality 2018, I voted for him 15,000 times. It was a proud moment for me.

What has been your most memorable moment?

On August 13, 2017, at 6:35pm, I talked with him for the first time on the phone. I was trying to be very normal, but after the call ended, I started screaming, laughing and running around. That moment was like flying in the sky. It was a huge deal for me.

What is the thing you most love about Gautam?

He has a big heart. He celebrates most of the festivals with poor kids and also goes to old age homes to spend time with the elderly.

Which quality in Gautam do you most relate to?

His dedication towards his work.

What is your favourite work Gautam has done?

I love his serial called Saraswatichandra. I also love that he feeds poor children at restaurants.

Why do you love being a super fan?

He is the beat of my heart. So nothing can be better for me than to be called a super admirer of Gautam, which is like a dream come true.

‘I wouldn’t go to police if I was raped’: Stacey Dooley exposes broken system in viral BBC documentary

Stacey Dooley has said something that’s hard to hear but important to talk about: if she were raped, she doesn’t think she’d go to the police. After spending three years listening to women’s stories for her latest BBC documentary Rape on Trial, Dooley says her trust in the system is shaken.

The 38-year-old presenter told Radio Times that what she’s seen while making the series left her feeling doubtful. “If somebody raped me, I don’t think I would go to the police,” she said. “It’s such a bleak and disappointing realisation. But based on what I’ve witnessed, I wouldn’t feel confident.”

Shah Rukh Khan's £1.7m Mumbai home renovation halted by green tribunal

Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic Bandra bungalow, Mannat, is under scrutiny after an environmental activist alleged violations of coastal and heritage regulations during its ongoing renovation. India’s environmental watchdog, known as the National Green Tribunal (NGT), has stepped in to investigate the claims, highlighting the tension between urban development and environmental conservation.
Mannat, a Grade III heritage structure, has been Shah Rukh Khan’s residence since 2001. The bungalow, estimated to be worth around £1.7m (200 crore), is undergoing significant renovations, including the addition of floors to the annexe, expanding its built-up area by 616.02 square metres. However, activist Santosh Daundkar has raised concerns over alleged violations of Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) norms, which are designed to protect Mumbai’s ecologically sensitive coastal areas.


Daundkar’s complaint to the NGT accuses Khan of demolishing two heritage structures without obtaining the necessary environmental clearance. He also alleges the illegal construction of a basement six metres below ground level, involving the extraction of groundwater and minor minerals, both prohibited under CRZ rules. Additionally, Daundkar claims that Khan constructed 12 one-bedroom-hall-kitchen flats under the guise of mass housing and later combined them into a luxury single-family residence, violating India’s Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu breaks gender barriers with equal pay policy in debut production 'Bangaram'

Samantha Ruth Prabhu is rewriting the rules in South Indian cinema, and this time, it’s not just with her acting. With her first production venture, Bangaram, she’s made headlines for setting a new standard: equal pay for everyone on set, regardless of gender. That’s something rarely seen in an industry where pay gaps are the norm.

When Samantha launched her production house, Tralala Moving Pictures, in December 2023, her vision was clear: tell stories that matter and create an inclusive space for talent. Bangaram, directed by Nandini Reddy, is the company’s debut film, and it’s already turning heads. While the first-look poster generated plenty of buzz, what really caught people’s attention was Samantha’s insistence on fair wages for all cast members, regardless of gender.
