TMKOC Creator Asit Kumarr Modi Welcomes Rupa-Ratan Family To Gokuldham
Dressed in traditional Rajasthani attire and arriving on decorated camels, the Rajasthani Rupa Ratan family is set to bring vibrancy and warmth to Gokuldham Society. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC) has always captured its audience's attention with new faces, light-hearted narrative and rib-tickling comedy. Being one of the most popular and longest-running sitcoms on Indian television with more than 4,479 episodes, the makers always introduce new twists to keep the audience hooked. Now, as the show marked its 17th anniversary in July, producer Asit Kumarr Modi announced plans to add some cultural diversity to the hit show by including a brand-new family. Now, Asit Kumarr Modi, in collaboration with the official handle of TMKOC, shared a video to introduce the Rajasthani Rupa Ratan family. The producer introduces Ratan and Rupa Binjola, along with their children Veer and Bansari, to the society members, making it more memorable for audiences. In the clip, he can be seen sharing in Hindi, which translates as, 'In all these years, our viewers have embraced every character of TMKOC with immense love. The Gokuldham family has evolved and we are thrilled to welcome a new Rajasthani family. This family will bring unique charm, cultural traditions and relatable stories to the show, adding new layers of humour and heart to the narrative." Sharing the introduction clip, the makers wrote, 'A NEW chapter begins in Gokuldham! Creator & Producer of India's longest-running show, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, Mr Asit Kumarr Modi, introduces the much-awaited Rajasthani Family." Ratan Binjola, aka Kuldeep Gor, a well-known Gujarati and television actor, will play a Jaipur-based saree shop owner. His wife, Rupa Baditop (actor Dharti Bhatt), will be seen as a homemaker and influencer. Rupa and Ratan's kids, Veer (Akshaan Sehrawat) and Bansari (Maahi Bhadra), will be entering Tapu Sena as its youngest members. Dressed in traditional Rajasthani attire and arriving on ornately decorated camels, the family is set to bring vibrancy and warmth to Gokuldham Society in the introduction clip. In his recent interview with Mumbai Mirror, Asit shared, 'Over time, many new members have joined the Gokuldham family, each adding their own charm and being welcomed wholeheartedly by the audience. The Gokuldham family has kept evolving and we are now delighted to welcome a new Rajasthani family, played by Dharti Bhatt and Kuldeep Gor, along with their two children — Akshaan Sehrawat and Maahi Bhadra." Reflecting on how he selected the characters, he stated, 'For these roles, many artists auditioned. After months of careful casting, we selected this team for their dedication, sincerity and strong understanding of a family-oriented daily comedy show. I am confident they will add a unique flavour to the narrative and open up engaging new storylines." 'Just as Jethalal, Bhide, Madhavi, Babita Ji, Abdul and all the other beloved characters became a part of your everyday lives, I believe this family too will soon find a special place in your hearts," he added. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's Ensemble Cast Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is created and produced by Asit Kumarr Modi.

At its worst, modern dating mistakes trauma bonding for love: Lessons from Netflix's Too Much
There is a scene in Netflix's Too Much where Jessica, or Jess, played by Megan Stalter, lies in a bathtub after accidentally setting herself on fire while rage-filming an Instagram story about her ex's current lover. Her body is scorched, her mind unravelling, and her only companion is a little dog named Larry. Then, unexpectedly, Felix, played by Will Sharpe, a quiet, indie musician Jess had awkwardly kissed earlier that night, shows up at the door and stays. The chaos should repel him. Instead, he chooses to help. 'You are too much, man,' he tells her after recognising her red flags at a party later. 'But like… just the right amount. And then a little bit more,' he adds. While the scene would fit into any romantic comedy, in Lena Dunham's Too Much, it lands differently. It is not charming but disarming. This isn't a story about two people falling in love and figuring life out; it's about two people latching onto each other out of mutual emotional vulnerability. And that is what makes Too Much messy and familiar to anyone who has, unfortunately, been in a trauma bond. What unfolds over the show's six episodes isn't a love story in the conventional sense, but it is a coping story, dressed in pastel colours and witty dialogue. And the relationship that forms between Jess and Felix mimics many of the psychological traits of trauma bonding. Jess and Felix share none of the traits of a healthy relationship: compatibility, mutual respect, or common values. They are bonded not through a shared vision for life, but through the fragments of their pasts. Both start recognising red flags in each other. There is love bombing and complete abandonment for days; they come back together, and the cycle continues. 'Trauma bonding is a bond where one person feels an intense connection with the other person who is also hurting or harming them,' Arouba Kabir, a Bengaluru-based psychotherapist and TEDx Speaker, says. 'It is when the same person is hurting you and then comforting you.' For Jess and Felix, most tender moments are followed by emotional withdrawals. When Jess is vulnerable, Felix shows up only to later pull away. When Felix reaches out, Jess either clings or implodes. The pattern keeps repeating. This emotional volatility isn't just part of the drama but the drama itself. And it is this unpredictability that makes it hard for the couple — and the viewers — to break away. 'Trauma bonding is a very manipulative and abusive connection. It can never be healthy. There is a lot of lovebombing after harm, so it keeps you hooked but not secure. There is no safety. It is not healthy even if it sometimes feels intense or romantic,' Kabir says. 'If you are seeing a lot of highs and lows in the relationship, that is trauma bonding. If you are always thinking that I cannot say this or that, as it would lead to a conflict, that could be another sign. If you keep going back to them despite getting hurt again and again, then you need to ask yourself,' Kabir highlights the signs of trauma bonding. 'And when they give excuses that I had a tough past to justify their harmful behaviour, then it is a sign,' she adds. In the show, Jess is navigating the loss of identity that comes after a long relationship. She drowned herself in self-sabotage by imagining her ex in emotionally taxing situations, often comparing Felix to her ex, and documenting her breakdown for a private Instagram account. Felix, meanwhile, is struggling with creative burnout, familial wounds, and trauma from being sexually assaulted as a child. The connection between Jess and Felix is immediate, but it stems from a desire to recreate familiar emotional patterns. As Jess says in a moment, 'Maybe I don't want to be healed. Maybe I just want someone who's wounded in the same shape.' 'Leaving a trauma-bond relationship is too hard because the bond is neurochemical. The brain has become addicted to certain cycles of stress. Hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline, and the 'happy hormones' like oxytocin are released. You get addicted to the cycle of stress and relief. And on top of that, many are guilty because they think their partner is also good to them,' Kabir says. 'I have seen so many trauma-bonding relationships turning into marriages, but they are not healthy. There's no love. But if the couple actively works on healing and setting boundaries, getting out of the co-dependent relationship and replacing that abuse comfort cycle, then such marriages can work, but generally we don't see that happening,' she adds. Too Much also ends (spoiler alert!) with a traditional 'happy' ending, with the pair getting married. But this has sparked much debate among viewers. Some argued the marriage was impulsive — that the characters needed therapy instead — while others felt it came uncomfortably close to justifying cheating. Though the show doesn't posture as a cautionary tale, it's certainly not a guidebook either. If anything, it shows how easily we confuse emotional intensity with emotional intimacy — how often we call chaos 'chemistry,' and how shared pain can feel like connection, but it isn't the same as love.

Faissal Khan on Aamir Khan and Jessica Hines' secret child: 'He can do a DNA test, I have proof of everything'
Faissal said, 'Everyone knows that he has had a relationship with Jessica and he has a child. He can't deny that.' Jessica Hines, the UK-based author and journalist, who came in the late 90s in India to work on Amitabh Bachchan's biography, grabbed headlines recently after Aamir Khan's brother Faissal Khan made a shocking claim that the Lagaan star had an extramarital affair with her when he was married to his first wife, Reena Dutta. He also claimed that Aamir and Hines had a child born out of wedlock. 'Aamir married Reena and later divorced her. Then he had a relationship with Jessica Hines, unka illegal baccha tha, out of wedlock (he had an illegitimate child). He was living with Kiran (Rao) at that time (of this incident),' Faissal told Media. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Now in another interview with Hindustan Times, Faissal said, 'Everyone knows that he has had a relationship with Jessica and he has a child. He can't deny that. You can do a DNA test. I have proof of everything that I am saying… It's not me who's just fabricating.' 'He is trying to create a clean image for the audience, but you can find out his image by him having so many relationships with women and all that… He likes to whitewash his image which is not the reality,' added Faissal. On his relationship with first wife Reena Around the time of his divorce, Aamir had started his production company, Aamir Khan Productions, with the film Lagaan. He was involved with his work a lot, and Reena was also helping him in the front. I could see his relationship going bad and with everything was happening with Reena, but I couldn't help it. That was his decision. He had to live his life. Faissal added, 'I was there around when his relationship was not working with Reena. They got divorced and then he went into his work. I was also struggling with my work.'
