My neighbour was baffled and asked his son why he would say that.
That's when his wife explained that it's a popular dialogue from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, used by the character I play — Saxena! After that, he started watching the show himself."
He further added, "Today, it's his favourite show, and I think he has become one of his favourite characters too.' Saanand added, 'Fan interactions, whether in everyday life or any gatherings, always leave me touched. Even at Bollywood parties and social events, people come up to me quoting the dialogue and appreciating the role. It's a surreal feeling to be recognised not just as an actor, but as a character that people have truly embraced.
The love I get from my audience… I like it.'

Collector preserves Jagannath heritage through stamps and envelopes
1 2 3 4 Bhubaneswar: In the heart of Bhubaneswar, collector Samaranjan Mohanty houses a unique treasure — a remarkable collection of postal stamps and envelopes that chronicle the rich cultural heritage of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra. His collection serves as a philatelic shrine, documenting the divine journey of Puri's beloved deity through official postal releases. The collection shows the postal department's dedication to preserving and promoting Jagannath culture. Mohanty plans to showcase his collection during this year's Rath Yatra. From the iconic Rs 5 stamp of the Jagannath Temple released in 2003 to the intricate Rs 20 embroidery stamp of 2019, each piece tells a different facet of the Lord's story and that of the Srimandira of Puri. "These stamps are more than just postal items. They are the windows into our cultural heritage," Mohanty, who also preserved a special envelope featuring rasagola, the divine sweet offering to Lord Jagannath, which happens to be His favourite, said. Mohanty's collection also includes the commemorative stamp of the sacred Nabakalebara ritual that happened in 2015, when the idols of the holy trinity were ceremoniously replaced with newly carved ones, and the vibrant Rath Yatra stamp, capturing the grandeur of India's biggest chariot festival. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cuối cùng, chơi miễn phí game chiến thuật hay nhất 2025!

Jayadeva was a 12th-century Sanskrit poet and composer, best known for his epic work 'Gita Govinda', the Lord's favourite musical composition. Adding a unique touch to his collection, Mohanty also preserves rare matchboxes adorned with images of the holy trinity and the Puri Srimandira. "Each item in this collection helps preserve our connection to Lord Jagannath's traditions," he added. Through this philatelic journey, Mohanty not only preserves history but also helps younger generations understand the deep-rooted cultural significance of Lord Jagannath in Odisha's heritage.
