Archana Puran Singh expresses her support for nepotism; says, 'Their parents instill a sense of professional work ethics in them'
keeps her fans entertained with her personal as well as professional life. She recently shared a vlog on her YouTube channel where she met
Ajay Devgn
and Mrunal Thakur. In the vlog, she shared fun moments with the Bollywood stars.
One moment that caught many eyeballs was how Archana Puran Singh praised the 'work ethics' nepo babies have.
It started with Archana asking Ajay about the career option he would have chosen if it wasn't acting. He mentioned that he would have done something in the industry itself as his dad is in this field. Archana praised him, saying that when someone's parent is in the industry, they tend to adapt the work ethics faster.
She said, 'One of the reasons people in the film industry prefer to work with actors from film families is because when your parents are already part of the industry, they instill a sense of professional ethics in you from the beginning.'
Ajay, on the other hand, shared, 'You can't become a star on Day One. You have to first learn how to act. That's where some confusion begins. People outside the industry often think this business operates in a certain way, but it's not like that.

In the vlog, Archana also shared a fun story from SRK's son Aryan's birthday bash. She shared, 'SRK looked at Aryamann and said, 'See, his hair looks exactly like mine,' and Bittu stared at me. Later, Hrithik Roshan came and looked at Ayushmaan and said, 'His eyes look so much like mine,' and once again Bittu stared at me. But the good thing is that both my sons look like him.'
Archana further shared how she's a workaholic and can't go two days without working. She said, 'We go on vacations and yes, we enjoy a lot. However, within two days I start to feel like, why am I not working? I should be doing something. I just can't stay two days without working.' Sons Aryamann and Ayushmaan agreed with her.

Exclusive - Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor Sunayana Fozdar fulfills her dream trip to Masai Mara; says 'The wildlife sightings, the landscapes, everything was unforgettable'
Television actor Sunayana Fozdar, widely loved for her portrayal of Anjali Bhabhi in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, recently lived out one of her biggest dreams, a trip to the iconic Masai Mara in Kenya. A self-proclaimed nature enthusiast, Sunayana described the experience as nothing short of magical, calling it her 'dream come true.' 'As a child, I was always fascinated by wildlife and forests,' she shared. 'To finally be amidst nature in its rawest, most majestic form was surreal.' From thrilling safari rides to heartwarming encounters with the local Maasai tribe, Sunayana's journey was filled with awe, learning, and deep introspection. One of the most unforgettable moments came just minutes into her first safari. 'I think within the first five minutes, I saw an entire pride of lions and a massive male lion walking straight toward our Jeep. He even marked his territory on it.' she recalled, still wide-eyed with excitement. 'Honestly, I don't think there could ever be a better sighting than that.' Reflecting on her experiences, she added, 'I witnessed so many things that I can't even put into words. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mini House for 60 sqm for Seniors with Toilet and Bath (Price May Surprise You) Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo Just being surrounded by animals, free, happy, and wild, made me realise how small we are in this vast, beautiful world. It was truly emotional.' Apart from the breathtaking wildlife, Sunayana was deeply touched by her interactions with the Maasai tribe, known for their rich traditions and strong sense of community. 'They are so rooted in their culture,' she shared. 'Someone even showed us how they still make fire using stones! It reminded me how beautiful and fulfilling life can be in simplicity.' Adding to the magic of the trip was the timing, she visited during the Great Migration season, when herds of wildebeests, zebras, and elephants traverse the endless savannah in one of nature's most spectacular events. 'It wasn't just a trip, it was a dream trip,' Sunayana emphasised. 'It was exactly what I had imagined, maybe even better. The wildlife sightings, the landscapes, everything was unforgettable.' She also took a moment to reflect on the beauty of Indian forests and encouraged people to experience safaris closer to home, 'There are so many beautiful forests in India too. Everyone should explore a safari and see animals in their natural habitat instead of in zoos.' Travel, she believes, helps us gain a deeper appreciation of our own roots, "When we travel to different countries, we begin to understand how vast and diverse India truly is. We are one country with many cultures. And when we go out, that's exactly what we want to explore, that contrast, that connection.' With her Masai Mara diaries now lighting up social media, Sunayana's journey is not just a personal milestone, it's an inspiring reminder for many to reconnect with nature, embrace simplicity, and chase the dreams that have long lived in their hearts.

19 years on, Kiran Desai has a 2nd shot at Booker
Nineteen years after winning the Man Booker, Kiran Desai, 53, has returned to the award longlist with a novel about two Indians navigating life in the US. The Indian American author, who became the prize's youngest-ever winner in 2006 with her second novel 'The Inheritance of Loss', is now among 13 writers vying for the literary trophy. Her mother Anita Desai - with whom she shares an inheritance, not of loss but of fine storytelling - has been shortlisted for the Booker thrice but never won. After her win, Kiran acknowledged the debt: "I wrote this book so much in my mother's company that it feels almost like her book.' While the two craft very different literary landscapes, they do have many things in common, including the habit of escaping to Mexican villages to write. The 88-year-old Anita's last novella 'Rosarita', which released last year, was also set in Mexico. Kiran's longlisted 'The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny' which will be out in Sept, has taken almost two decades to take shape. By her own admission, she writes slowly, piecing her novels together like a jigsaw puzzle. Going by the promos, the storyline seems almost filmi: a love story about two young people who first see each other on a train. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo But, as always, she remains conscious of her role in the wider world, exploring themes like migration, modernity, and the complicated bonds that link one generation to the next. "Intimate in its details, epic in its reach," is how Manasi Subramaniam, editor-in-chief at Penguin Random House India, describes it. "While it is about the weight of familial love, the violence of class and the ache of displacement, it is sharp, funny, tragic and endlessly surprising," says Subramaniam.

Three Salman Khan fans run away from Delhi to meet superstar; found safe in Nashik after MISSING for 4 days: Deets Inside
Salman Khan has always had an enormous fan base, with admirers of all ages looking up to him. But in a recent incident involving three minor boys from Delhi, who went missing on 25 July, all in hopes of meeting the Bollywood superstar. As reported by PTI, the three boys, aged 13, 11, and nine, are all students at the same school in the Sadar Bazar area of Delhi. Their sudden disappearance triggered a massive search operation by Delhi Police and their counterparts in Maharashtra. It all started with a gaming app friend According to the police, the boys had been chatting with a person named Wahid from Jalna in Maharashtra via an online gaming platform. Wahid had claimed that he had once met Salman Khan and could possibly arrange a meeting with the actor. Believing him, the boys hatched a plan to visit Jalna and then head to Mumbai to meet the superstar. They left their homes on 25 July without informing their families, which led to panic among their parents and a missing persons report being filed. Left a note behind During the early stages of investigation, police discovered a handwritten note at one of the boys' homes. The note clearly mentioned their intention to meet Wahid in Jalna. This became the first major lead in the case. Further investigation through CCTV footage revealed visuals of the boys near Ajmeri Gate, indicating that they might have travelled to New Delhi Railway Station to board a train. Based on train schedules and possible travel routes, police suspected that the boys had taken the Sachkhand Express, from Delhi to Maharashtra. Phone signal helps trace missing children When Wahid found out the police were involved and the boys' families were searching for them, he backed out of the meeting. The boys then dropped their plan to visit Jalna and got off the train in Nashik. Though Wahid couldn't be contacted, brief phone activity helped police trace the boys. Delhi Police reportedly joined hands with Railway Police and Maharashtra police to search multiple locations. Finally, on Tuesday, four days after they went missing, the boys were found safe at a railway station in Nashik. Safe return for the young Salman Khan fans Thankfully, all three minors were safe and unharmed when found. They were brought under police protection and arrangements were made to send them back to Delhi.
