Ankita was seen tying Rakhi to her brothers as well as to her Laughter Chef co-contestant Samarth Jurel. Ayesha Khan, who met Ankita and Vicky on Bigg Boss 17 and formed a close bond on the show, also visited the couple's house and tied Rakhi to Vicky. Ankita took to her Instagram account to share beautiful photos from the celebration. The actress explained in the caption of her post, why the festival is so close to her heart, Ankita wrote, "For us, Raksha Bandhan isn't just about a thread, it's about the promise we've kept all our love and protect each other, no matter what."The Pavitra Rishta actress shared some lovely pictures from their 2025 Raksha Bandhan celebrations at home.

Recently, in an exclusive chat with Times of India TV, Vicky spoke about Laughter Chefs and how everyone takes jokes sportingly, "On Laughter Chef, there are no boundaries like that. Everyone is free to say anything, and more importantly, they also listen and laugh along. Outside the show, people get offended easily or ignore the joke completely. But something magical happens once we enter that set—people transform. You just can't say anything hurtful to anyone. It's all in good spirit. Take Nia for example, people pull her leg all the time, but it's taken with laughter because that's the vibe of the show."

Musician hangs self while on video call with wife in London
Surat: A 50-year-old musician from Surat died by suicide while on a video call with his wife, who is currently in London. The deceased, identified as Ojas Jariwala, reportedly told his wife he was missing her and asked her to return, moments before hanging himself from a ceiling fan. The incident took place around 1.30 am on Sunday in Jariwala's 12th-floor apartment at Sarjan Palace, located in the Chowk Bazar police station area. Police have registered a case of accidental death and placed his body in cold storage, awaiting the arrival of his wife. According to police, Jariwala, a keyboard player associated with a local music orchestra, was alone when the incident happened. Jariwala's two daughters aged 22-years and 12-years had gone to their maternal uncle's home in Bharuch to celebrate Rakshabandhan. His wife, Rekha alias Deviyani, is a singer. Both had applied for UK visas for a music event, but while Deviyani's visa was approved along with her brother's, Jariwala's application was rejected. On Sunday, during a late-night video call, Jariwala expressed his longing for her return. He then climbed onto a chair and went out of the camera's view, possibly after his phone slipped from position. Alarmed, his wife contacted an acquaintance living on the building's seventh floor, who broke into the locked flat and found Jariwala hanging. "We have kept the body in cold storage. His wife is on her way from the UK," a police official said, adding that both were well-known in the local music fraternity.

Za'Darius, a four-round draft pick in 2015, has played for multiple NFL teams, earning respect for his skills on the field. Kash Doll, a Detroit native, rose to fame with her raw rap style and hit singles like 'Ice Me Out.' Together, they were a power couple fans rooted for—until now.

The relationship had its ups and downs, including some public spats involving Kash's ex, Tracy T, but the breakup now seems to be about needing personal space and mental peace rather than drama.
