Anupamaa: Gautam's evil plans gets exposed

Anupamaa: Gautam's evil plans gets exposed

Time of India26-05-2025

Anupamaa has continued to reign supreme on the TRP charts, and the latest episode delivered a whirlwind of drama, emotion, and unexpected twists. In the most recent episode, Anu (played by Rupali Ganguly) was seen fighting back against the growing threats to her family, especially from Gautam, who had made it his mission to ruin her.
Earlier, Gautam had Ansh kidnapped and brutally beaten, shocking Anu to the core. Upon discovering Gautam was behind the kidnapping, she vowed to take revenge. But Gautam retaliated by burning down Anu Ki Rasoi, leaving Anu devastated. He didn't stop there — he also contacted the contractor handling Anu's work, attempting to get her catering contract cancelled.
However, in the latest episode, Anu managed to convince the contractor to give her another chance. Though she struggled to manage everything on her own,
Raghav
stepped in and supported her tirelessly.
He stayed up late helping Anu and was clearly moved by her unwavering determination.
Meanwhile, Anu comforted a traumatised Ansh, who was unable to sleep and worried about the loss of Anu Ki Rasoi. She reassured him that she would fix everything, promising him that things would be alright.
Back at the Kothari mansion, Vasundhara questioned Gautam about the chaos surrounding Anupamaa's life. But Gautam cunningly manipulated her, insisting he was being falsely accused.

Vasundhara believed him and chose to stand by his side.
Despite the chaos, Anupamaa managed to win over the Kotharis regarding Aryan and Mahi's wedding festivities. Vasundhara had earlier called Mahi unlucky and cancelled the haldi ceremony, but Anu intervened and reminded the family that Aryan and Mahi shouldn't suffer for others' mistakes. The Kotharis eventually agreed, and the preparations for the haldi ceremony resumed.
The biggest twist came at the end of the episode when Raghav, in a moment of intense emotion, confessed his feelings for Anupamaa. He admitted that he had special feelings for her and couldn't bear to see her in pain. Unbeknownst to him, Gautam overheard the confession.
In a shocking development, Vasundhara — moved by Raghav's honesty — announced that after Aryan and Mahi's wedding, there would be another wedding: that of Anupamaa and Raghav.
With emotions running high and secrets unraveling, fans are now eagerly waiting to see how Anupamaa will react to Raghav's confession and how Gautam will strike next. One thing is certain — Anupamaa is set to keep viewers hooked with more explosive episodes ahead.

Rachel Zoe joins "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" season 15

The diamond-studded world of Beverly Hills is about to get even more glamorous: fashion designer and celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe is officially joining the cast of Bravo's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH) for its 15th season. The news, confirmed by Zoe herself and Bravo on June 6, 2025, has sent shockwaves through both the fashion and reality TV communities, promising a season packed with style, drama, and fresh storylines. Zoe, now 53, is no stranger to Bravo audiences. She first made waves with her own hit series, The Rachel Zoe Project , which aired from 2008 to 2013 and chronicled her high-profile career styling A-list celebrities and running her fashion empire. Since then, Zoe has continued to influence the industry through her newsletter, The Zoe Report , and numerous collaborations.

Stolen: The rare Hindi movie that isn't afraid to insult its own audience, and you know what, we deserve it

In an industry dominated by vanity projects, nepo nonsense, and state-sponsored propaganda, nothing is more annoying than a film that aims to impart a 'message' to the audience. As with everything else in Hindi cinema, this message is typically delivered at such a volume that Sonu Nigam might take offence. Laxman Utekar's Mimi concludes not with climactic catharsis, but with a chunk of statistics about adoption. How cinematic. The horror film Chhori, on the other hand, ends with data points about female infanticide. Neither film had enough faith in the audience to know, without being told, that killing babies (or abandoning them) is wrong. It was quite refreshing to discover that the new Amazon Prime Video film Stolen, despite being a 'message' movie itself, chooses to let the plot and characters do the talking instead of literal text. Directed by Karan Tejpal, Stolen's true agenda — and there is an agenda, make no mistake — reveals itself only at the end. This revelation is smartly timed to coincide with the redemption of a truly terrible character, played by Abhishek Banerjee. His name is Gautam, and we first meet him as he's waiting outside a small-ish railway station for his younger brother, Raman. It's nighttime, and there's a wedding in the family the next day. They're already late because Raman missed his flight and had to take a train instead. At the station, he witnesses a tribal woman's infant being kidnapped, and moments later, finds himself ensnared in the mess. Gautam's instinct is to mind his own business and get on with his life, but something — it could be guilt, it could be trauma, or it could just be basic decency — compels Raman to get involved. Also read – Amar Singh Chamkila: Imtiaz Ali set out to make a movie about the slain singer, but he made a movie about himself instead Had the brothers not been there, the police would've probably pinned the entire thing on the poor woman, Jhumpa. Raman knows this, and he understands that if there was ever a time to weaponise his upper-caste privilege, it's this. He pushes the police to investigate, while a dumbstruck Gautam — he's the kind of person who probably owns a 'theka' in Gurugram as a side hustle — reminds him that they have somewhere to be. In India, a person could be dying on the side of the street and no one would step forward to help. Jhumpa represents Indians on the fringes of society, the sort of people whose plight is rarely covered on the news. They say that the media is biased, and that the mistreatment of minorities often goes unreported. But have they wondered how to present this news to someone who'd rather watch Bigg Boss instead? For about an hour, Stolen is an accurate representation of why most Indians avoid sticking their nose in other people's troubles. Many of them are selfish; some, proudly so. A regular day is filled with so many unnecessary stresses that the mere idea of inviting further inconvenience is repulsive. Our empathy is systematically obliterated over the course of our lives. We're hypocritical people who brag about respecting women, but we never miss a chance to blame them for their misfortune. We're proud to belong to the land of atithi devo bhava, but we ignore the harassment of foreign tourists. How many of us would jump in to save one of them from being scammed by an auto guy? How many of us would warn them to not attend Holi parties? Raman probably would, which is why he insists on accompanying the woman and making sure that the cops find her baby. Sometimes, he tells his obnoxious brother, it's important to stand up for what is right. One thing leads to another, and the brothers are thrown headfirst into the plot of NH10 — the Anushka Sharma movie from a decade ago that addressed many of the same themes. Stolen could've very easily had a scene in which someone, probably one of the cops, explains to Gautam and Raman why people like Jhumpa are destined to be downtrodden. Director Karan Tejpal could've altered his script to include a line like 'mhari chhoriya chhoro se kam hai ke' and probably have been rewarded with a star of Aamir Khan's stature signing on. But Stolen, first and foremost, is a genre film. The 'message' it wants to deliver is incidental to the plot. It's one thing to weave the social fabric of a country into a film's narrative, but it's a different thing altogether to weave a narrative around a moral lesson. Far too often, our movies fail to understand this distinction. Dunki doesn't bother to investigate the hopelessness that's compelling Punjab's youth to take the most dangerous route out of India. 12th Fail isn't interested in exposing an education system that leaves millions with no choice but to devote the prime of their lives to a pipe dream. Every aspiring actor looks up to Shah Rukh Khan; nobody talks about the millions that return to their small towns with shattered dreams.

Or will they perpetually have to be on the run, glancing over their shoulder? It is a travesty that Stolen isn't told from her perspective. Mia Maelzer is terrific in the role. In fact, the movie unfolds from the point-of-view of the least interesting character, and, as good as Banerjee is as Gautam, he'd be the first to admit that he's sort of miscast. It's sort of like a Nawazuddin Siddiqui-Afwaah situation. Like that Sudhir Mishra film, Stolen's ultimate aim is to invite introspection. It is up to us to decide what is worse; that Gautam is an embodiment of the Savarna saviour trope, or if he is meant to be a surrogate for us. There's a reason why Hindi cinema is becoming increasingly two-dimensional. To provoke thought, our films (and filmmakers) will first have to reconcile with the idea of being criticised. Forget indicting the audience, Hindi movies will champion unspeakable immorality — they will mistreat minorities, spite the silenced, incite the incels — only to please us. How can they be expected to raise a mirror to society? It would be like a politician pointing fingers at their vote bank. Stolen, however, has no qualms in questioning the sort of pepole who turn a blind eye to the exploitation around them. If you're going to annoy someone, it might as well be the apathetic, the fence-sitters, the social climbers.

'We made a s*xtape Kim K would envy' – Michael Beasley sends a wild NSFW message to Lance Stephenson after 1 on 1 Game for $100K

Image via: Scott Winters/Icon Sportswire/ Getty Images In an event that was as entertaining off the court as it was on, Michael Beasley stole the spotlight with a dominant one-on-one victory over Lance Stephenson. But an even more jaw-dropping postgame message sparked wide attention. The highly anticipated showdown took place at TNC 02 and saw Beasley walk away with a $100,000 cash prize and some viral bragging rights. But the biggest moment came after the event, when Beasley let loose with a comment that sent the internet into a frenzy. Michael Beasley sends NSFW to Lance Stephenson on Instagram Michael Beasley, a former No. 2 overall NBA draft pick, showed flashes of the promise that once made him the most hyped freshman in the nation. Facing Lance Stephenson, a player equally known for his flair and unfinished NBA story, Beasley proved that while their NBA days may be over, their competitive fire is still burning hot. After sealing the 31-21 victory, Beasley's message to Stephenson wasn't a standard sportsmanship handshake. 'Great game bro,' he began. Then came the line that lit up social media, 'I love you to the moon and back, now grab a cigarette and a towel. We made a s*xtape Kim K would envy.'
