Exclusive - Anupamaa actress Sheersha Tiwari: I've learned not to take trolling personally
Sheersha Tiwari, who plays the role of Prarthana Kothari in Rajan Shahi's Anupamaa, shares that being a public figure comes with its own challenge, especially with social media, where appreciation and trolling are a daily routine. She said, 'As an actor, appreciation definitely fuels your passion, but with social media, you have to take the good with the bad. I've learned not to take trolling personally. Constructive criticism is welcome, but mindless negativity—I choose to ignore. At the end of the day, I focus on my work, stay grounded, and remind myself why I started this journey in the first place.' As for her family, she likes to share her experiences of shoots with them and ask for their feedback. She said, 'As they've seen my journey, their opinions come from a place of love, honesty, and deep understanding. They mostly guide and give constructive criticism, but when they appreciate my work (which is rare), it feels incredibly fulfilling.' 'This is a thing with Asian parents; they keep you grounded, don't appreciate you much, but they are always there for you, and their pride in my work is one of my biggest motivations,' she added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo What's next in the show? 'Prarthna's world has changed after the leap. She left her own home and her family and is on the journey to set herself free from the toxic marriage. But just when she was gathering courage to be an independent woman, she found that she was pregnant with her husband's child. All this is really overwhelming for Prarthna, but she chooses to keep the child and continues to be that independent woman. Currently, Prarthna is deeply affected by her family not being around her and the feeling of being a single mother, but at the same time, she feels better to be in Shah House and the way her friend, Ansh, supports her,' Sheersha ended. |Exclusive| Shweta Tiwari on changes in herself over the time: I don't get hurt easily anymore

Zohran Mamdani a step closer to being NYC's 1st South Asian mayor
'It always seems impossible until it's done. My friends, it is done,' quoting Nelson Mandela, Zohran Mamdani announced his victory on Tuesday late evening as the Democratic nominee for the post of Mayor of New York City. The 33-year-old Indian-American, mounting a Bollywood-style campaign, full of references to 'Roti, Kapda aur Makaan', had his opponent, Andrew Cuomo conceding to him within hours of the polls for the Mayoral primary closing. If elected in November this year, Mamdani — the son of filmmaker Mira Nair and academic Mahmood Mamdani — would be the city's first Muslim and Indian-American Mayor. Born in Uganda's Kampala and raised in New York, Zohran may not be a stranger to political activism, but still has a long way to go before securing an electoral victory after defeating the Republican candidate. Launching an energetic campaign late last year, the relatively unknown legislator had his army of young volunteers knocking on doors throughout the city, seeking support and donations. They also made sure his vision reached the masses in a city grappling with a high cost of living and housing crisis – free buses and childcare, new apartments, higher wages and more taxing the rich. With the background score from Bollywood film 'Om Shanti Om' playing, in one of the campaign videos 'Zohran for New York City', Mamdani addressed his constituency in Hindi about making him the city's first South Asian mayor, 'Baat yeh nahi hai main kya banunga, baat yeh hai ki main kya karunga (It doesn't matter what I will become, but it matters what I will do).' Explaining the voting process using the example of five mango-lassi glasses representing five candidates, he took a potshot at Cuomo using a clip from Amitabh Bachchan starrer Zanjeer, 'Aaj mere paas bangla hai, bank balance hai, building hai..,' urging his voters (bhaiyon aur behenon) to choose wisely and not rank billionaires like Cuomo. During a television debate when Cuomo remarked that Mamdani couldn't be relied upon to go toe-to-toe with (President Donald) Trump, Mamdani had a counter ready. 'Mr Cuomo, I have never had to resign in disgrace,' he said to Como, who resigned in 2021 as the city's mayor after a report concluded that he had sexually harassed at least 11 women. No wonder he secured endorsements from two of the United States' foremost progressives — Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders. Earlier this year, Zohran married 27-year-old Rama Duwaji, a Syrian-born illustrator and visual artist based in Brooklyn, whose work explores the themes of identity and migration. The couple met on a dating app, and got engaged in Dubai in 2024, where Duwaji's family lives.
