Produced by Neela Telefilms, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah prides on being one of the longest-running sitcoms on Indian television. The show, which hit the airwaves way back in 2008, has completed more than 2, 765 episodes to date and is doing pretty well on the TRP chart even today.

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah keeps hitting the headlines every now and then for one reason or the other. The show is back in news once again. Let us know why. As we all know that actress Disha Vakani, who played the popular character of Daya Jethalal Gada for close to a decade, has not been seen on the show for two years now. She has been on a maternity break for the past two years, which has left a gaping hole in the storyline of the show. Fans have been waiting for her return for so long now but to no avail.

Recently, there were reports that the makers were looking for her replacement on the show. However, the latest we hear that the casting process for the lead role of Dayaben in the popular sitcom has been put on hold. Reportedly, producers are not in a hurry to write Dayaben back into Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. The show is performing well on the TRP chart anyway. Maybe that is one of the reasons the makers don’t want any replacement at the moment.

We also hear that the return of Dayaben could be marked with the entry of a perfect replacement for Disha Vakani. The makers may rope in an established actress for the lead role. However, the possibility of a fresh face cannot be ruled out either.

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah airs on SAB TV.

Kristen Stewart marries Dylan Meyer in an intimate LA ceremony after 6-year romance

Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer are officially married. The actor and the screenwriter tied the knot over the weekend in a low-key ceremony at their Los Angeles home, with only a handful of close friends present. Among the guests were actor Ashley Benson and her husband, Brandon Davis. The couple had reportedly picked up their marriage license earlier in the week.

The marriage comes nearly six years after Stewart and Meyer reconnected in 2019 at a friend’s birthday party, years after first crossing paths on a film set. They went public with their relationship that same year, and in 2021, Stewart revealed during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show that Meyer had been the one to propose.

Charli XCX’s viral ‘Apple’ dance sparks lawsuit as creator sues Roblox over unauthorised use

Kelley Heyer, the choreographer behind the viral dance to Charli XCX’s track “Apple,” is suing Roblox for allegedly using her routine in a game without her approval. The dance, which gained massive attention on TikTok and even featured at Charli XCX’s concerts and Coachella performances, became available as a purchasable emote on the Roblox game Dress to Impress. Players could buy the move for their avatars, and Heyer’s legal team says the company made around £98,000 (₹1.03 crore) from it.

Heyer claims she was in talks with Roblox to license the dance but that the company used it before anything was formally agreed upon. Now, she’s asking for a share of the profits and damages for what she sees as misuse of her work.

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.
