Abdu Rozik lashes out at his former management team for spreading ‘false' news about his arrest at Dubai Airport; says 'Ridiculous and Unfair'
Bigg Boss 16 fame Abdu Rozik was recently in the news when reports of him getting arrested at Dubai International Airport on charges of theft went viral. He had flown to Dubai to attend an award ceremony on Saturday. However, the Tajikistani singer had dismissed the reports and has slammed his previous management team for maligning his image and spreading lies about him. Speaking out for the first time about the accusations, Abdu shared with Bollywood Bubble that he's doing well and continuing his work as usual. He clarified that the entire controversy was created by his former management team, who allegedly made baseless allegations against him. According to Abdu, they falsely accused him of stealing his own possessions — a Gucci bag gifted to him on his birthday, a mobile phone he personally bought, and a Rolex watch gifted by a friend. Abdu, who was last seen in Laughter Chefs season 2, further said, "It's ridiculous and unfair that my ex-manager is calling these items 'stolen.' I want to say thank you to everyone who is standing by the truth. This is just another challenge for me, and it's making me stronger and more motivated." Previously, Abdu's team released an official statement to the Khaleej Times, where they stated, "First of all, he was not arrested—he was only detained by the police. Abdu Rozik provided an explanation and was released. He will be attending the award ceremony in Dubai today. Secondly, information in the media is not correct. We will take all legal action to protect Abdu Rozik and his image. Also, we will provide you with all the information later on to inform the Indian people. Believe us, we have a lot to say regarding this issue." On the work front, Abhu made his debut on Indian television with Bigg Boss 16 and became an overnight sensation. He was also seen in Khatron Ke Khiladi and Laughter Chefs season 2. Abdu Rozik Delays Wedding: His Reason Will Shock You!

Tanvi The Great's Shubhangi Dutt talks about being compared to Priyanka Chopra's ‘Jhilmil' character in Barfi!: ' I had already imbibed a lot of...'
Shubhangi Dutt earns praise for her role in Tanvi The Great. Her portrayal of an autistic girl is powerful. Comparisons are drawn to Priyanka Chopra's Jhilmil in Barfi. Shubhangi clarifies her approach was distinct. She immersed herself in research and unlearning. She observed the real Tanvi's soul. Shubhangi aimed to embody the essence of every autistic individual. Shubhangi Dutt is earning praise for her powerful portrayal in Tanvi The Great, where she plays a young autistic girl with extraordinary emotional depth. Naturally, comparisons have been drawn to Priyanka Chopra 's acclaimed performance as Jhilmil in Barfi!—but Shubhangi is carving her own path. When asked about comparisons between her role in Tanvi The Great and Priyanka Chopra's portrayal of Jhilmil in Barfi!, Shubhangi told Bollywood Bubble that while both roles may seem similar on the surface, her approach to Tanvi was completely distinct. She shared that the character was deeply challenging, and instead of drawing from a single reference, she immersed herself in extensive research. In fact, even before the shoot began, she had already internalized many of Tanvi's mannerisms, shaping her portrayal through personal interpretation rather than imitation. The actress further revealed that her preparation for Tanvi The Great involved not just research, but also a process of eventual unlearning. On her director's advice, she continued studying various sources until rehearsals began, at which point he told her to forget everything she had learned to find a more instinctive performance. When she met the real Tanvi, she sought clarity on whether she should mirror her exact behaviour. But the only guidance she received was to 'observe her soul'—a cue that helped Shubhangi craft a portrayal rooted in emotional truth rather than imitation. Concluding her thoughts, she also shared that her director's intention was for her to embody the essence of every autistic individual through her own creative lens. While she didn't grasp it immediately, the meaning became clearer over time. Once it did, she built a complete inner world for Tanvi—one she visualised and stayed true to throughout her performance.
