She recalled how the late actor helped her on the sets of 'Pavitra Rishta'.Her vlog was a special tribute to mark 16 years of her popular TV show 'Pavitra Rishta'.

Aur Sushant itna achcha actor tha. Woh mujhe bohot help karta tha kyuki main jab in logon ke saamne jaati thi toh mujhe daar lagne lagta tha. Ki main kaise itne bade-bade scenes karoon. Toh woh mere ko aise sikhata tha ki aise bol, aise bol (Whatever I have learnt about acting is from 'Pavitra Rishta'. I have learnt from the two women and, of course, Sushant was such a good actor. He used to help me a lot when I used to get scared to do these long scenes in front of all these people on set. So he would teach me how I could do better).'advertisementAnkita also thanked Usha Nadkarni for guiding her during her early days. She shared that they didn't talk much at first, but later became close while working together. Ankita said Usha taught her how to act naturally and with emotions.'Pavitra Rishta' was one of the most loved shows on Indian TV. It aired from 2009 to 2014 and became a big part of Indian homes.

Barun Sobti says ‘Indian actors don't have range', blames them for being typecast: ‘That's where they belong'
Barun Sobti started his career in television and, slowly but steadily, made a name for himself in the world of streaming with shows like Asur, Raat Jawaan Hai, Kohrra, and others. In a recent interaction, he spoke about how actors are often typecast in the industry. While many actors blame the audience and filmmakers for seeing in and offering them only one kind of role, Barun flipped the narrative and accused Indian actors of not having range — suggesting that this lack of versatility is what leads to them being typecast. In a recent interaction with Pinkvilla, Barun said, 'Over the last few years I have realised that Indian actors don't have range. A lot of actors talk being typecast but I think it is because that's where the actor belongs. I am focusing on range and that's why I picked up Raat Jawaan Hai… because everybody was trying to write intelligent stuff.' Barun was also majorly seen as the 'chocolate boy' during his television era. In an earlier interaction with News18, the actor spoke about the difficulty of breaking a set image. He had said, 'The problem with image is that it isn't who we're. It's what people perceive who we are. My image was based on people's understanding but it wasn't me. I can't go to every household and tell how I really am. Very few people watch interviews but that helps them understand who I am in real life. Establishing images is a bad idea. It becomes difficult to break the audience's perception and hence, a filmmaker's perception about you. Nobody can see you in any other way. There are very few geniuses like Sudeep (Sharma; creator of Kohrra) who will see something small and think that I've got something in me that makes them want to hire me for a job.' Barun is gearing up for the release of the release of the second season of Kohrra. He also has the web show Ikatthe in pipeline.

The 'Poop Rule' is Internet's latest decluttering hack, but does it actually work?
The poop rule - It is not what you think. This isn't some bathroom etiquette tip, but it is definitely about flushing things out (of your wardrobe or home). Clean and clear, that's what the trend the latest episode of how bizarre (or gross) the internet can get, someone came up with a hack to deal with the clutter that is sitting rent-free in your store rooms or cupboards. When we sit down to declutter, deciding whether to throw away that birthday card from third grade or those sparkly tapes once used for a school project, it gets tough. To throw or not to throw? What if I need it someday? All that contemplation and in the end the pile stays for yet another much? Now, if you are someone who has problem discarding things and no pro tip seems to work for you, you probably need to read up on the 'Poop Rule'.Introduced by lifestyle influencer Amanda Johnson, who regularly shares tips and tricks for decluttering, the idea is simple, but may seem gross to some. She suggests you ask yourself, "If the item had poop on it, would you keep it or toss it?"Yes, Amanda claims that's pretty much how you can get rid of a majority of things (not sure about your red flag boyfriend, though, or maybe you can). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lauren Hostetler (@lauren_hostetler_)In Indian homes, where emotions and nostalgia run deep, decluttering isn't easy.

So can the 'poop rule' become the ultimate solution to all the horaders' problems?The sanitary poop rule?advertisementAmanda Johnson documented her decluttering journey and swore by the 'poop rule'.She explains it further: 'If you wouldn't pack it up and take it with you in a move, like you wouldn't even want to touch it with a poop bag, it probably doesn't belong in your home.''We hang on to things we don't even like, just because we've had them a while, they were a gift, or we might use them someday,'' she wrote, sharing the post. 'But if you wouldn't keep it with poop on it you probably don't need it at all. Decluttering gets a lot easier when you get honest. Use the poop rule and move on.'

Himesh Reshammiya's Delhi Concert Tickets Are Vanishing Fast: Lord Himesh Cult Explained
Last Updated: Himesh Reshammiya kicked off his Cap Mania tour with a memorable concert in Mumbai that has given everyone else FOMO. Ooooooooo… Aashiq banaya. 'You just had to be there." 'It was a complete riot." 'That was the best concert of my life. Period." Resounding reviews have emerged from those who attended the highly anticipated concert by Indian musician, actor, and heartthrob Himesh Reshammiya in Mumbai. The concert, a part of Reshammiya's maiden 'Cap Mania Tour" in India, is all over Instagram and understandably so. Dressed in a long coat, and donning a cap, the veteran musician had seats on his time machine. His fans hopped in to travel back to the golden era of Hindi music. Reshammiya aka Lord Himesh had a sold-out show. That over 11,000 people reportedly turned up to watch the hat-donning rockstar is no coincidence, and those who missed out on rocking to the tunes of the legend are now having an existential crisis. Himesh Reshammiya If you are new to the concept or aura of Himesh Reshammiya, don't fret. We have a crash course for you. It'll be a minute, stick around. Reshammiya began strongly in his debut albums for Bollywood. Started as a Hindi music director in 1998's Bandhan and Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, the musician catapulted to stardom in the early 2000s when he held the mic and began collaborating with Emraan Hashmi. It worked. Reshammiya soon became a popular face in music videos. These played all the time on the television because listeners made requests to the music channels to play his music. The craze was such, that many millennial kids couldn't tell Hashmi and Reshammiya apart. And he is no one-hit-wonder. The 51-year-old has had bangers after bangers in his musical arsenal. 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne,' 'Aap Ki Kashish,' 'Tumse Milna,' 'Jhalak Dikhlaja,' 'Tera Suroor,' 'Odh Li Chunariya,' 'Jumme Ki Raat,' 'Hookah Bar,' 'Teri Yaad' – the list is bottomless, but you get the drift. When he wasn't singing, Reshammiya was acting in movies. Aap Kaa Surroor (2007), Karzzzz (2008), and most recently Badass Ravi Kumar (2025). The singer and musician may have lacked acting chops, but audiences have, in the past two decades, flocked to watch his meme-worthy cinema. The movies that get put under the 'so bad that it's so good" trope. The amount of hype around Badass Ravi Kumar which was released earlier this year was a testament to Lord Himesh's mass appeal. The audience could sniff out the self-awareness in the otherwise over-the-top chaos that the movie was. FOMO The Cap Mania tour's virality on social media has given everyone who couldn't be there in Mumbai the FOMO (fear of missing out) of a lifetime.

(Should I sing in a regular style or nasally?)." The crowd collectively went 'naak". Himesh Reshammiya addressed his critics during a recent concert in Mumbai, playfully responding to those who label his singing style as nasal. Engaging with the audience, he asked whether they preferred his signature nasal tone or a more conventional singing voice.
