Rishton Se Bandhi Gauri: Shivani Gosain talks about her double role, says 'From Kamini to Mandakini, my journey has been full of surprises'
Mandakini
, my journey has been full of surprises.'
Having been part of notable shows like Kasautii Zindagii Kay (as Varsha Bhabhi), Rang Badalti Odhani, Love You Zindagi, Saraswatichandra, Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki, Naagin 5, Pratigya 2, and cameos in Anupamaa and Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum, Shivani has carved out a space for herself as a reliable, versatile actor.
In Rishton Se Bandi Gauri, Shivani plays Kamini — a negative, selfish widow, and the eldest daughter of the Bundela family.
'She's manipulative and only wants wealth and power for herself and her son. She even goes as far as planning her nephew's murder for property,' she shares.
But the real twist comes when the show takes a supernatural turn. 'Mandakini was once the bahu of the same family, who was burnt alive for not bearing a son. Kamini pretends to be her to scare her mother and gain control, but the actual spirit of Mandakini ends up possessing Kamini's body.

Kamini's soul gets trapped in a photo frame — and that's when I began playing both roles.'
The double role has been well-received. 'The feedback has been amazing. People didn't expect the twist, and they're loving Mandakini's track in particular.'
Her look as Mandakini is striking. 'I wear a red saree with full jewelry and a long plait — the chudail ki choti. Mandakini is extremely possessive about her choti because it holds her power and identity.
It's almost like its own character.'
As for the production experience, Shivani is all praise. 'The production house is professional, respectful, and very actor-friendly. The entire team — producer, director, creatives — is supportive. It's a blessing to be working with them.'
From sharp-tongued Kamini to the vengeful spirit of Mandakini, Shivani's latest roles showcase the range and unpredictability that have defined her television journey.

Not LeBron James: Kyrie Irving Drops a Bombshell on His Greatest Teammate Ever
Kyrie Irving and LeBron James (Image via Getty) Kyrie Irving 's career has been defined by partnerships with some of basketball's biggest names. He shared the court with LeBron James , leading Cleveland to an unforgettable 2016 NBA title, and now runs the offense alongside Luka Doncic in Dallas. But when asked to name the greatest teammate he's ever had, Irving surprised many by bypassing both of those superstars. Kyrie's Pick: Kevin Durant During a recent Twitch live stream, Irving was asked to reflect on his most remarkable on-court partnership. Instead of choosing one of his championship or current teammates, he singled out Kevin Durant , his former Brooklyn Nets co-star. 'The 7/11 duo of me & KD will never be topped in terms of just being on the court with somebody that special. I played with a lot of great players, but playing with KD was OD (overdose),' Irving said. Why Durant Stands Out for Kyrie Irving Kyrie Irving 's time with LeBron James was historic, particularly the 2016 Finals Game 7, where his clutch three-pointer helped clinch Cleveland's first NBA championship. Yet, their partnership came with challenges, including contrasting leadership approaches and the weight of championship expectations. Luka Doncic, Irving's current running mate, has dazzled fans with his skill and vision, but their time together is still in its early stages. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo In contrast, Irving says the chemistry with Durant felt unmatched, even though their run was shorter than expected. The 7/11 Connection Formed in Brooklyn, the '7/11' duo showcased a fluid, high-powered style of basketball that mesmerized fans. Injuries, off-court issues, and roster changes limited them to just 74 combined games in the regular season and playoffs. Still, Irving describes those moments as special—filled with freedom, creativity, and an unspoken understanding on the court. Kyrie Irving's Star-Studded Teammate List • LeBron James – Four-time MVP and one of the game's all-time greats. • Luka Doncic – Rising superstar and perennial All-NBA talent. • Jayson Tatum & Jaylen Brown – Core of Boston's championship pursuits. • James Harden – Former MVP and elite offensive force. Despite this elite company, Irving says Durant set the standard for what it feels like to truly click with a teammate.

'Son of Sardaar 2' box office collections day 14: Ajay Devgn-Mrunal Thakur starrer holds steady in second week; nears Rs 46 crores
Ajay Devgn 's 'Son of Sardaar 2' has wrapped up two weeks at the box office with an estimated Rs 45.16 crore India net collection. The film, which opened on a high note with Rs 7.25 crore on its first Friday, gained momentum over its debut weekend, peaking at Rs 9.25 crore on Sunday. As reported by the Sacnilk website, the collections saw a steep drop on Monday, dipping to Rs 2.35 crore. However, steady weekday earnings ensured a strong first-week total of Rs 33 crore. Second week shows strength with weekend push The second Friday brought in Rs 1.25 crore. It was the Saturday jump to Rs 4 crore that signaled the film's staying power. Sunday followed closely at Rs 3.75 crore, aided by strong family turnout and positive word-of-mouth. While weekdays in week two slowed to under Rs 1.3 crore per day, the film maintained enough traction to keep audiences trickling in. The Day 14 collection is expected to add modestly to the tally, bringing the film tantalizingly close to the Rs 46 crore mark. Our verdict - An Overstuffed Sequel That Delivers Laughs In Parts ETimes gave the film a rating of 3 stars out of 5 and an excerpt from our review reads, "Ajay Devgn is convincing as the endearing and guileless Sardar, shining in both comedy and emotional scenes. Mrunal Thakur , as the fiery and outgoing Rabia, holds her own. Ravi Kishan delivers a knockout performance as the businessman-turned-gangster who is exasperated with his father Ranjeet Singh's ( Sharat Saxena ) colourful ways. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo Mukul Dev and Vindu Dara Singh deserve special mention for their strong onscreen chemistry and impeccable comic timing together.
