Tanuj Virwani Recalls Accident That Changed His Life: ‘Puddle Awaited My Arrival'
July 29 might seem like just another date on the calendar, but for actor Tanuj Virwani, it marks a personal turning point that allowed him to reflect on his emotional strength. After the incident, he was left not just with a scar but a powerful story to tell. In a heartfelt post shared on social media, Tanuj has now recalled the accident that shook him.
The actor began the post, writing, 'A seemingly innocuous day. Playing cricket in the rain, something I've done 1000 times before. 3 runs needed in the final over. Easy peasy, I thought to myself." Confidently, he tapped the ball and went for a single. But then came the twist, and quite literally. 'A puddle awaited my arrival, like a stealthy, silent assassin," he wrote and added, 'SKID. SLIP. AIRBORNE. THUD."

A Question Of Life For Tanuj Virwani
And then, everything changed for Tanuj. The actor found himself flat on the ground and his body screaming in pain. He recalled, 'It was so excruciating that my cries of anguish were reduced to a whimper." For his wife, it was more intense than what he expected. The reason? She was seven months pregnant at the time. Soon, she rushed to the scene and saw his left shoulder blade visible through his T-shirt.
Her question, 'How are you gonna hold our child?" left a deep impression on Tanuj, and 'in that moment, something happened." She added, 'Holding my child became my only goal." The future did not feel scary anymore, and Tanuj found perspective. And guess what? His inner voice soon changed the narrative into, 'Tanuj, you finally got yourself a scar (which the wife finds sexy), playing the sport you love, on the same turf where you got married. Plus, now you know what an operating theatre looks like — perfect prep for the delivery room!"
Tanuj Virwani's Resilience And Strength
Despite the injury, Tanuj continued working, travelling, attending events, and most importantly, preparing to become a father. Soon, he adapted to the 'new normal."
Quoting Rocky Balboa, Tanuj Virwani concluded the post and wrote, 'It ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."
The post quickly resonated with fans and his industry colleagues, who dropped heart emojis in the comment section for the actor. Digvijay Rathee also expressed his heartfelt admiration for the actor, dropping a heart emoji.

Who is Assamese actor Nandini Kashyap, who was arrested for allegedly killing a 21-year-old in a hit-and-run case?
A shocking incident has come to light after being captured on CCTV, in which a car allegedly driven by Assamese actor Nandini Kashyap hit a two-wheeler, resulting in the death of a 21-year-old man. The incident happened at Dakkhingaon area in Assam's Guwahati in the early hours of Friday. Nandini was reportedly detained on Tuesday after the youth, Samiul Haque, passed away while undergoing treatment. Her arrest was officially recorded on Wednesday, following which Nandini was produced in court. According to news agency PTI, CCTV footage of the accident showed that not only was she speeding at the time, but did not even stop to check on the victim. Eyewitnesses claimed that she fled the scene immediately. She was, however, chased down and confronted by Samiul Haque's friends. Renowned for her lead role as Surabhi in director Roopak Gogoi's recent box office hit Rudra, Nandini Kashyap is also a prominent figure on social media, with over 52.5K followers on Instagram. According to her Facebook handle, she has been working in the film industry since 2018 as an actor, anchor, model and dancer. Belonging to Guwahati itself, she also goes by the name Nikita. After completing her basic education at Faculty Higher Secondary School, Amingaon, in her native place of Guwahati, she pursued a bachelor's degree at the University of Science & Technology, Meghalaya, located at Khanapara. She graduated from the university in 2021. Since 2018, she has been in the public domain and has appeared in a few music videos. However, it was in 2022 that she made her film debut, playing the lead role in the Assamese movie Janaknandini, helmed by her mother Kunjalta Gogoi Das. Also starring Gunjan Bhardwaj, Nrityacharjya Jatin Goswami, Arun Nath, Madhurima Choudhary, Ranjeev Lal Baruah and Rupam Baruh, Janaknandini was produced by Nandinee's parents, director Kunjalata Gogoi Das and husband Rinku Das, themselves. Earlier this year, Nandini Kashyap's career took off as Rudra emerged as a box office success. Also featuring Ravi Sharma, Adil Hussain, Joy Kashyap and Arrchita Agarwaal in key roles, the movie was penned by director Roopak Gogoi. Rudra hit the screens on June 27. Although Nandini is currently in police custody, it is reported that this is not her first involvement in a vehicular offence, the difference this time being that it tragically resulted in the loss of a life. 'Kashyap's vehicle was penalised several times for speeding and many challans were issued in different districts,' Guwahati Police Deputy Commissioner (Traffic) Jayanta Sarathi Borah told PTI.

Fantastic Four's Vanessa Kirby Says She's A Sue Storm 'Nerd', Wants To Explore Malice
Vanessa is particularly keen to explore Sue's Malice incarnation. Vanessa Kirby is a Sue Storm 'nerd". The 37-year-old actress plays Sue in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and she's admitted to being obsessed with the character. Vanessa – who stars in the new Marvel movie alongside Pedro Pascal, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn – told Variety: 'I'm such a Sue nerd." She added: 'There was something so allegorical about her. She was called Invisible Girl. Then Psycho-Man comes and disrupts everything, and she has a meeting with her own dark side in Malice. She comes back, and she renames herself Invisible Woman. So she transforms from a girl to a woman. There's something about meeting the hardest parts of yourself in Malice that felt extremely poignant to me. I'm really hopeful I might be allowed to be Malice at some point for her." Vanessa is particularly keen to explore Sue's Malice incarnation. The actress shared: 'I'm dying to do Malice. She's come from a really tough background. She lost her mother in a car crash. Her dad tried to save her mother. He couldn't. He then spiralled, became an alcoholic, got locked up in prison for murdering a loan shark, and then died. Sue had to become a mother to Johnny. They were orphans. They had to fight for themselves." She added: 'What I loved about her was that she chose a path that was inherently a positive one. She chose to keep her heart open and to stay warm. The Future Foundation, for me, wasn't a noble political act, but it seemed to me that it's Sue's nature." Vanessa previously admitted that she likes to take on 'challenging" roles. The movie star told TheTalks: 'I really like pushing past my limits in that way — I love it. When I read something and go, 'Uh, I don't know how I am going to do this,' then I know I should do it. I don't think it feels as challenging when you read a script and go, 'I know exactly how I am going to do this.'" Vanessa has enjoyed success on stage and screen, and she previously explained where her passion for stage acting came from. The London-born actress shared: 'I always knew I wanted to act, but I had no idea how I was to go about it. It was quite a daunting feeling to know how passionate you feel about something without knowing whether you can achieve it … But my parents love theatre and my dad loves Shakespeare, so I grew up with a lot of Shakespeare stories and plays. And the love for theatre helped me in realising the power of standing up in front of people and telling stories as a group. The audience is as important as the people on stage, so it always felt like a shared experience. With that experience, I felt most connected and most alive."
