Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Part 1: Why is Akaza's return personal for Tanjiro; what's the Mugen Train connect?
Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, where it all began
Demon Slayer: Mugen Train Arc plays a very important role and connects Infinity Castle, as Tanjiro finally faces Akaza. The protagonist has been seeking revenge ever since the Mugen Train incident. It is the moment where everything began for the duo.
Back to Demon Slayer: Mugen Train Arc
In Demon Slayer, during the Mugen Train incident, Tanjiro, his friends Inosuke-Zenitsu and demon sister Nezuko met Fire Hashira Rengoku Kyojuro. Rengoku was of high spirits who left an impact with his cheerful aura. The crew met him when Rengoku was busy enjoying a meal on the Mugen Train. 'Umai' were his favourite (most) words. The Upper Rank demon Three Akaza had different plans and was out to hunt. Rengoku being the most experienced Hashira among them all, took on the task of distracting him. Rengoku had one goal in mind - to kill Akaza in any way possible. Unfortunately, that was not how things ended. Akaza fled the scene after severely injuring and killing Rengoku. Tanjiro, who had stepped in and almost succeeded in keeping Akaza occupied till sunrise, knew at that moment that when the time comes, he will get his revenge. Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie Part 1 aka Akaza's Return is the exact moment that he has been waiting for a long time. Now he faces Akaza, with fellow Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka by his side.

Shehnaaz Gill says audience voting for Shehbaz Badesha and Mridul Tiwari before Bigg Boss 19 is ‘unfair': ‘I really want both of them to go in, only then they will know how difficult the journey is'
Salman Khan–hosted Bigg Boss 19 is just a week away from its premiere. While a list of probable contestants has surfaced online, the final lineup will only be revealed when the show premieres next Sunday. Last week, however, the makers revealed two names who might enter the show, Shehnaaz Gill's brother Shehbaz Badesha and YouTube content creator Mridul Tiwari, and announced that their participation would depend on audience voting. While the 'fans ka faisla' is still awaited, actor Shehnaaz, who rose to fame with Bigg Boss 13, has reacted to the decision and called the opportunity 'unfair'. A few weeks back, SCREEN had exclusively reported that the audience will play a crucial role in driving the show's narrative this year, and the contestants will run the house this time. Now, as Shehbaz and Mridul's fate lies in the hands of the audience, Shehnaaz shared a video on her Instagram stories and said, 'When I was on Bigg Boss 13, my brother Shehbaz had been manifesting for the show since then. He had stayed there for a week, and people had loved him a lot; now, finally, he is getting a chance to go on Bigg Boss 19. But the opportunity is such that both the guys have been nominated and left homeless, which is quite unfair.' She added, 'I really want both of them to go in, but I want you all to vote for Shehbaz. They are so eager to go inside, let them go there. Only then will they know how difficult the journey is. Please send both the boys in.' A post shared by SHEHBAZ BADESHA (@badeshashehbaz) So far, a few names reported as confirmed contestants for Bigg Boss 19 include Ashnoor Kaur, Gaurav Khanna, Awez Darbar, Nagma Mirajkar, Shafak Naaz, Hunar Gandhi, Siwet Tomar, Baseer Ali, Anaya Bangar, Payal Gaming, and Khank Waghnani. However, as with every season, the final lineup will only be announced at the premiere, since negotiations with contestants often continue until the last minute. Other names rumored to be part of the show include Dheeraj Dhoopar, Khushi Dubey, Arbaaz Patel, Shehbaz Badesha, and Mridul Tiwari. A post shared by JioHotstar Reality (@jiohotstarreality) Bigg Boss 19 will premiere on August 24 on JioHotstar. As SCREEN had reported earlier this year, the Salman Khan-hosted show will be a digital-first property. It will stream first on JioHotstar at 9 pm and then air on Colors TV at 10:30 pm. This year, the theme of the show is Demo-crazy, where the contestants will run the house and make major decisions.
