Anupamaa fame transgender actress Shubhi Sharma reacts to reports of joining Bigg Boss 19
With Bigg Boss 19 all set to premiere on August 24, the buzz around its new lineup of contestants is gaining momentum. As always, Salman Khan returns as the host of the much-awaited reality show, which promises fresh twists, bold personalities, and explosive drama. Among the names doing rounds this season is Shubhi Sharma , a transgender actress known for her roles in popular television shows such as Anupamaa, Dhruv Tara, Saath Nibhaana Saathiya, Chaand Jalne Laga, Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya 2, Saavi Ki Savaari, and Nath. When asked about her participation, Shubhi responded, "Yes, I'm in touch with the team. But I won't be able to comment over the matter." If she confirms her presence, Shubhi would be the second transgender contestant on Bigg Boss, after Laxmi Narayan Tripathi's groundbreaking appearance in season 5, which was hailed for its representation. Shubhi's work on Anupamaa not only gave her national recognition but also led to a strong bond with actress Rupali Ganguly, the face of the show. Recently, Shubhi celebrated her birthday with Rupali in attendance—something she described as deeply special. 'Her presence meant the world to me,' Shubhi shared, appreciating Rupali's genuine friendship and support. The rumoured contestant list also includes names like Gurucharan Singh, Gaurav Khanna, Mr Faisu, Apoorva Mukhija, and Hunar Gandhi, adding to the growing curiosity. Whether or not she enters the Bigg Boss house, Shubhi Sharma's name in the mix is already being seen as a powerful step toward visibility, inclusivity, and breaking barriers on national television.

Long before ‘Heeramandi', Batalvi gave the world ‘Loona'
Chandigarh: At a time when web series like Heeramandi, Made in Heaven, and Saas Bahu aur Flamingo are making headlines for centering rebellious, complex women, one Punjabi poet had already done it, nearly 60 years ago. On the birth anniversary of Shiv Kumar Batalvi, it's worth revisiting Loona, the epic verse play that earned him the Sahitya Akademi Award at just 31, youngest till now, and challenged the way generations viewed women in folklore. Loona is based on the Punjabi legend of Puran Bhagat, a prince turned saint. In the traditional telling, Loona is a young stepmother who tries to seduce Puran, and when he refuses, she falsely accuses him of misconduct. The king, her husband and Puran's father, has him exiled and mutilated. Loona has, for generations, remained the archetype of an immoral woman, a scheming seductress. But Batalvi flipped the narrative. In his telling, Loona is not a villain but a victim — a young girl married off to an ageing king Salwan, living a life she never chose. Her attraction to Puran is not sin but yearning. Her rage is not evil but trauma. Rather than glorify her, Batalvi indicts the society that condemned her for feeling, for desiring, for speaking. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 30 Beautiful women who lived 80-100 years ago Undo Retired associate professor Manjit Kaur, who wrote a PhD thesis titled Puran, Loona and the Psychology of Punjab, calls Loona a rare example in Punjabi literature where a woman's desire itself becomes an act of protest. "Puran protests by renouncing the world and turning to yog. But Loona protests by refusing to silence her longing," Kaur said. "In Punjabi society, we often see the spiritual man as a rebel, but a desiring woman is called immoral. Shiv turned that upside down." According to her, Loona challenged the psychological and cultural frameworks of Punjab long before such themes entered mainstream writing or cinema. The idea that a woman could want something, or someone, and not be punished for it was radical in 1965. Today, it's become the emotional and political core of many popular shows and films. In Heeramandi, Sanjay Leela Bhansali presents courtesans as women with agency, navigating patriarchy with their own power. Made in Heaven peels back the layers of modern Indian weddings to expose how women are still expected to conform, sacrifice, or stay silent. Saas Bahu aur Flamingo breaks the mold of the "ideal woman" altogether.

Ashish Dixit and Shweta Kanoje renew wedding vows
Ashish Dixit, lead actor of 'Pati Brahmachari,' and his wife Shweta Kanoje reaffirmed their commitment in a Trimbakeshwar ceremony, fulfilling a promise made during their dating years Ashish Dixit , who plays the lead in the TV show Pati Brahmachari, recently renewed his wedding vows with wife Shweta Kanoje. The couple, who tied the knot in 2019, had a small ceremony in Trimbakeshwar, fulfilling a promise they made to each other years ago. Ashish shares, 'When Shweta and I were dating in 2016, we had promised each other that we would get married at a religious place. Unfortunately, that didn't happen then and it always remained at the back of our minds. So last month, we went to Trimbakeshwar, got the necessary permissions and went ahead. Our parents were present for the ceremony, but what made it even more special was that our two-year-old daughter was with us. It felt beautiful and all the memories of our wedding day came back to us.' 'Now I'm focused on balancing my personal and professional life Incidentally, a few years ago, there were rumours of trouble in their marriage. Ashish says, 'In the past few years, I couldn't focus enough on my personal life due to work. I used to be away from home for months, shooting for web shows, and during that time, Shweta went back to her hometown, Nagpur, so people assumed things. But we were always together. Getting married again has brought us even closer, and now I'm making sure I strike the right balance between my personal and professional life. '
