Super fan of the week - Karan Vohra

Talented Indian actor Karan Vohra has won over audiences around the world with his winning performances, including dedicated super fan Shary Modi from Toronto in Canada. Eastern Eye caught up with Shary to find out more.

What first connected you to Karan?


Karan’s brilliant screen presence, powerful sexy voice, deep-set eyes and acting made me sit up one day, while accidentally watching his first show, Zindagi Ki Mehek. I was hooked for life.

What made you become a super fan?

Karan’s amazing and most comprehensive enactment of the character Shaurya Khanna; his simplicity, innocence, loving nature, genuineness and being a complete family man, just made me fall in love with the artist and the human being he is. Karan is shy, quiet and not social media savvy, but has made it a point to stay connected with his fans on Instagram. That’s a huge celebrity quality to recognise fan appreciation and acknowledge.

Tell us about something super you have done for Karan?

Creating positivity for Karan and bringing awareness of his work as an artist. I also post regularly, including still edits, articles and fan comments through my Instagram fan club (@itsteamkaranvohra). This year on his 30th birthday, I made a four-minute birthday video with messages from his fans across the world. He loved it.

What has been your most memorable moment?

Meeting Karan in Film City, Mumbai, this March and organising two fan meets. His smile and happiness, while receiving a booklet of messages from 40 fans across the world, was priceless. He said it was the first thing he went through among all the gifts he received.

What is the thing you most love about Karan?

His belief in being a good soul and attitude of gratitude.

Which quality in Karan do you most relate to?

Karan is genuine. His perseverance has made him master of his craft.

What’s your favourite work of his?

Every character Karan has played so far. If anyone can do justice to the great Amitabh Bachchan in his biopic, it’s Karan Vohra.

Why do you love being a super fan?

Because ‘celeb love is divine’. I believe, Karan and I have a spiritual past life connect. As a super fan, I am here to extend support, spread love for him and his work.

​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.

Two decades after the tragic death of actress Soundarya, new allegations have surfaced against veteran Telugu actor Mohan Babu. A social activist in Andhra Pradesh’s Khammam district has filed a complaint accusing him of having a role in Soundarya’s untimely demise.

Soundarya, a much-loved star in South Indian cinema, was 31 years old and reportedly pregnant when she died in a private plane crash on April 17, 2004. She and her brother, Amarnath, were flying to Karimnagar to participate in a political campaign for the BJP and TDP when the aircraft went down. Tragically, their bodies could not be recovered from the wreckage.

‘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.”
