It took me eight years to bag a lead role that made a difference: Aishwarya Khare
Aishwarya Khare's journey in the television industry began with roles in shows like 'Yeh Shaadi Hai Ya Saud' and 'Yeh Hai Chahatein,' but she credits 'Bhagya Lakshmi' for her breakthrough. She started with shows like Yeh Shaadi Hai Ya Saud, Yeh Hai Chahatein, where she played interesting characters. But Aishwarya Khare says her role in Bhagya Lakshmi made all the difference in her career. Talking about her journey to Mumbai Mirror, she says, 'It took me a long time to reach where I am today. Not that I had to struggle a lot, but I did have to put in a lot of hard work. I made it on my own, and I am happy about that. I didn't know anyone in this industry, and so couldn't turn towards anyone for help.' Aishwarya began acting while she was still in college. 'There were attendance issues,' she recalls. 'I kept giving auditions. I did play the lead in shows like Vishkanya Ek Anokhi Prem Kahani and Saam Daam Dand Bhed, but real recognition came with Bhagya Lakshmi. It took me 8 years to bag a lead role that made a difference. The show may have ended now but I am grateful for the opportunity.' The actress, who is currently seen in the reality show, Chhoriyan Chali Gaon, believes in destiny. She recounts, 'There was a time when I was sitting at home.. that was around 2017. That's when self-doubt kicked in. I even thought of going for higher studies. Suddenly I got a call for an audition, and the same production house later also asked me to audition for Bhagya Lakshmi. It was meant to be.'

Jhalee fame Pratham Kunwar on his friendship with actress Neha Khan says, 'We share a very comfortable and deep bond'
Television actor Pratham Kunwar, who currently plays the titular role of Nirvair in the show, Jhalee Ki Kahani, feels Friendship is something to nurture and celebrate. He shares about his closest friend, Neha Khan , an actress by profession and says, "Neha and I have been friends for almost a decade now. We first met at an audition back in 2014–15 — it was for a Marathi film. She was new to the city, having come from Amravati, and I had just started out in the industry. Coincidentally, we both got selected for the same film (Gurukul), and that's where our friendship began." He continues, "Since then, we've got along really well and become very close — she's almost like family to me. She knows all my secrets, and I know hers too (haha!). We share a very comfortable and deep bond. Even though she got busy with her Marathi films and shows, and I moved into TV, we've always stayed in touch. She lives close to my place, so we meet quite often and celebrate most festivals together — Ganpati, Diwali, Eid — all of them" Speaking about his ongoing show, he shared that the narrative centers around two inseparable best friends — Jhalee (played by Apeksha Malviya), who is cheerful and full of life, and Amrit (portrayed by Isha Kaloya), who is more grounded and thoughtful. The story follows their closely connected lives as both of them unexpectedly fall in love with the same man, Nirvair (played by Pratham), setting the stage for an emotional and dramatic journey. The actor highlights the comparison between love and friendship. He shared, "When there's a strong friendship between two people and a third person enters the equation in the form of love, it's natural for that love to feel a bit insecure or jealous seeing that bond. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Real-Time Conversations in 68 Languages? AI Just Made It Possible Enence 2.0 Undo It can create some discomfort too. But I believe that's also important — because if your partner feels a little possessive or uncomfortable seeing your friendship, it means they genuinely care for you. It shows that your bond matters to them." "In fact, that's a good sign — but at the same time, love should also learn to respect and accept genuine friendships. Sometimes, love entering the equation can ruin the friendship between two people. But I feel, if that happens, then maybe that love wasn't right for you in the first place — because the one who truly loves you will understand and value your friendships too. In my show jhallee also you will see the same," he concluded. On professional front, Pratham was previously seen playing the titular role of Rishi in TV show Beti Hamari Anmol, and also appeared in shows like 'Guddan - Tumse Na Ho Paayega', 'Yeh Hai Chahatein', 'Meet: Badlegi Duniya Ki Reet', 'Rajjo' He also acted in mythological series like Mahakali - Anth Hi Aarambh Hai, Vighnaharta Ganesha and Siya Ke Ram.

Dipali Sharma , who is stepping into the spotlight as the lead in Ektaa Kapoor's Pyaar Se Bandhe Rishte, is overjoyed about this new chapter. Paired opposite Bigg Boss 18 fame Avinash Mishra , Dipali shared her excitement in an exclusive chat with Times of India TV. She spoke candidly about her path in the entertainment industry, landing the lead role in Ektaa Kapoor's show, and her experience working alongside Avinash Mishra. Tell us a little about your journey? I began my career as an engineer, but deep down, I was always passionate about storytelling and performing. Trusting my instincts, I made a bold decision to leave my job and step into the world of acting. I started out with television shows, which helped me build a strong foundation in the craft. In 2021, I made my debut in a Telugu film. Since then, I've been thankful for each opportunity and remain excited about taking on roles that challenge and inspire me as an artist. How does it feel to be a lead in Ekta Kapoor's next? Of course, it feels incredible. I've previously worked with Balaji on Barsatein and Yeh Hai Chahatein, but this project holds a special place in my heart because I'm playing the lead this time. What makes it even more exciting is that it's Balaji's first finite series on YouTube. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Candi: New Container Houses – Take A Look At The Prices! Container homes | Search ads Learn More Undo I'm definitely looking forward to hearing from Ekta Kapoor about it. Does having a godfather in the industry make it easier to sustain a long-term career? I believe in destiny. Having a godfather can be an advantage, but not having one doesn't mean you're at a disadvantage. If something is truly meant for you, you'll find your way—sooner or later. Some people are shown the way, while others create their own. Both paths are meaningful, but building your journey from scratch is what defines a true legacy. How is it working with Avinash Mishra for this one? Working with Avinash has been a truly pleasant experience. He's not just respectful and well-mannered, but also someone who contributes thoughtful ideas on set. His creative suggestions really enhance the process, and based on my experience, he's an excellent co-actor to work with.
