The multi-talented Ravi Dubey has shown off his impressive versatility in a wide array of projects on television ranging from hosting to delivering winning acting performances. He has won admirers along the way including superfan Astha Bansal from Delhi in India.

Eastern Eye caught up with Astha to find out more.

Tell us, what first connected you to Ravi Dubey?

His Tum Hi Ho dance on Nach Baliye was an instant connection. Then it was his unparalleled acting in Jamai Raja. The way he played his role of Sid in the show was so convincing that it made us believe it was real.

What made you become Ravi’s super fan?

The fact that admiring him would only give me great optimism and happiness. He is literally a multi-talented man. I just love his prodigious amount of acting skills. The way he does emotional scenes is just par excellence. One can feel the pain while watching him act.

Tell us about something super you have done for Ravi?

Last year, for Eastern Eye’s 50 Sexiest Asian Men, I voted so many times in the middle of my exams with an army of seven to eight people to get him into the list.

What has been your most memorable moment?

When he followed my fan club on Instagram on my 18th birthday. Also, it’s because of him that I got my friend for life, Kainat.

What’s your favourite work of his?

Surely Jamai Raja, as he portrayed so many characters amazingly well in just one show and his TedxTalk. With his excellent foray into hosting, it would be Sabse Smart Kaun, as it is the only game show hosted so magnificently by a TV actor. We all are very proud of him.

What is the thing you most love about Ravi?

He has a plethora of talent and the way he approaches life. He is the most inspiring person you can ever come across.

Which quality in the celebrity do you most relate to?

His optimism and the way he shows the importance of self-love.

Why do you love being a super fan?

I am his fan and the way he loves his admirers makes us feel super. I will support him no matter what, because that’s what a super fan does. Ravi deserves all the love and is worthy of every applause and appreciation.

Why is Gen-Z laughing at ‘Little Britain’? A closer look at the show’s most offensive jokes

More than two decades after Little Britain first aired, a new audience is discovering the controversial sketch show but not on BBC or Netflix. Instead, Gen-Z has resurrected it on TikTok, where short clips featuring outrageous characters and catchphrases have racked up millions of views. The twist? Many of these viral clips are the very ones that got the show pulled from streaming platforms in 2020.

Created by Matt Lucas and David Walliams, Little Britain was a defining comedy of the 2000s. It won awards, ran across multiple seasons, and even spawned a spin-off, Come Fly With Me. But as societal standards around race, sexuality, and disability evolved, the show came under fire for jokes that many now see as not just outdated but outright offensive.

Hayden Christensen confirms return as Anakin Skywalker in 'Ahsoka' season 2

After much speculation, Hayden Christensen has confirmed he’s returning as Anakin Skywalker in the second season of Ahsoka. The actor made the announcement during the Star Wars Celebration event in Tokyo, sharing his enthusiasm about revisiting a version of Anakin that fans haven’t fully explored in live-action, the Clone Wars-era Jedi, before his fall to the dark side.

Christensen said that bringing this version of Anakin to life has long been something he and Star Wars creator George Lucas had hoped to explore on screen. The new season, which starts filming next week, will give fans a deeper look at that chapter of the character's life, though details about his exact role remain under wraps.

'Kesari Chapter 2' opens to mixed reviews as Akshay Kumar takes on colonial injustice in court

Released on April 18, Kesari Chapter 2 steps into theatres with a heavy subject on its shoulders: the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the courtroom fight that followed. Headlined by Akshay Kumar, alongside R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday, the film has drawn mixed reactions from viewers, with some calling it powerful and others labelling it sluggish.

Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and backed by Dharma Productions, the film moves away from the battlefield narrative of its 2019 predecessor. Instead, it follows the legal efforts of C. Sankaran Nair, played by Akshay Kumar, who challenged the British Empire after the 1919 tragedy. R. Madhavan plays opposing counsel Neville McKinley, while Ananya Panday surprises many with a restrained, serious performance as Dilreet Gill.
