EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Apoorva Mukhija has sassy comment on fight with Uorfi Javed, spills tea on Bigg Boss 19 offer

Pink Villa13 hours ago
Karan Johar -hosted Indian reality series The Traitors saw its first season end with a massive fight breaking out between contestants Uorfi Javed and Apoorva Mukhija. The two social media sensations lashed out at each other in the most brutal way and continued even after the show ended, when the duo took jibes at each other on social media.
And recently, Apoorva broke her silence on the matter once more amid other interesting revelations.
Apoorva Mukhija's sassy comment on Uorfi Javed
In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Apoorva Mukhija played a game where she was given a name from each of the contestants from The Traitors and had to reveal what came to mind instantly with it.
When she was asked about Uorfi, The Rebel Kid instantly said, 'I have spoken about her in my story time, and I cannot give her more footage.'
Has Apoorva bagged an offer to participate in Bigg Boss?
In another excerpt of her revelations, Apoorva was asked about whether she has been approached to participate in the popular reality show series Bigg Boss. The social media star made an interesting response to the question.
In her words, 'Yes. I mean, I always say ki never say never. So I would never say do something. But I think just captive reality as a space is very anxiety-inducing, and as a person who already overthinks a lot and has anxiety, it's just tough space to be in.'
She added 'But ab paise se kya hai upar duniya mein? Ab paisa hoga toh karlenge. Dekhte hai.'
When Apoorva compared Traitors with Bigg Boss
In one of her YouTube vlogs a few days ago, Apoorva, while discussing with Elnaaz Nouruzi, compared Traitors to Bigg Boss and agreed on how tough it had been for every participant who was a part of it.
She said, 'Being without your phones, not knowing, not having anyone to talk to, constantly being followed by your shadows, the wind chimes, constantly fighting with people, not having the food that you want to eat, it was all just too much."
More about Bigg Boss 19
For the unversed, Bigg Boss Season 19 will mark Salman Khan's return as the most popular host of the show. The shooting for the teaser is scheduled to take place between July 8 and July 12.
According to an exclusive report by Pinkvilla, this season is expected to run for 5.5 months, making it the longest season in the history of the show.

Remembering Shefali Jariwala: The girl who lived, danced, and loved with all her heart

On June 27, the music fell silent. Shefali Jariwala, the face that made an entire generation swing to the beats of 'Kaanta Laga,' passed away at the age of 42, following a suspected cardiac arrest. Declared dead upon arrival at the hospital, her sudden demise sent a wave of shock across the entertainment industry and beyond. But those who knew her, worked with her, and loved her, remember her not just as the 'Kaanta Laga girl,' but as someone who was full of life, dreams, and substance. 'We found our doll on a scooter ride' – Filmmaker Vinay Sapru remembers discovering Shefali Filmmaker Vinay Sapru, who co-directed the iconic remix video with Radhika Rao, recalled their first meeting like it happened yesterday. 'We discovered her when she was just 19. It wasn't a structured casting process—it was destiny,' he told ETimes. 'We were driving on Linking Road when a scooter came up next to us. A mother was riding, and a young girl was hugging her from behind. Radhika and I looked at each other and said, 'That's our girl.'' When they stopped her at a signal and handed her their card, Shefali revealed she was an engineering student with no experience in front of the camera. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Show Off Your Talent: Enter the Ultimate Creator Contest! Tocsin Media & Marketing LLC Undo 'Still, she came to our office the very next day,' Vinay said, smiling. 'She was all energy and heart. No training, but full of life. That innocence, those kisses she blew at the camera—she was exactly what we had imagined. We knew we had found our doll.' A story that stayed etched in Vinay's heart was from Shefali's birthday rehearsal. 'She'd just received a pair of white jeans from her sister. We told her to take the day off and celebrate. But she insisted on working,' he recalled. 'She said, 'How I spend my birthday sets the tone for my year.' At the end of rehearsals, her brand-new white jeans were covered in mud. Her eyes welled up when she saw them. But she smiled and said, 'This is the best birthday I've had—rehearsing and cutting cake with all of you.' That's the kind of girl she was.' Parag Tyagi Pens Heartbreaking Note for Late Wife Shefali Jariwala: 'Love You Till Eternity' Vinay reflected on the shoot schedule, which spanned just three tight days. 'We'd pack up at 2 am and be back at 7 am. But Shefali never missed a beat. She knew the entire song revolved around her. She gave it everything she had.' What started with a spontaneous scooter sighting turned into one of Indian pop culture's most iconic music videos. 'Within three months, she became the nation's crush,' he said. 'Twenty years later, people still refer to her as the Kaanta Laga girl. She wanted that. She once told me, 'I want to be remembered that way forever.' And she will be.' 'She came with cakes and dreams just 20 days ago' Their final meeting was filled with laughter and planning. 'Just 20 days ago, she visited us with cakes and pastries from her favorite Japanese bakery,' Vinay recalled. 'She said, 'I've had an incredible 20 years... now let's plan the next 20.'' They spoke for hours, discussing new songs, live events, and a fresh creative chapter. 'Everything was falling into place,' he said. 'And now she's gone. Maybe it's true—God takes His favourites early.' With a heavy heart, he added, 'People have asked us to make Kaanta Laga 2 or 3. We never could. And now, we never will. We're retiring the song—like a jersey number—because it belonged to her. It always did.' 'She was a happy soul who loved life' – Shreyas Talpade shares his memories Actor Shreyas Talpade, who worked with Shefali in the ALTBalaji comedy Baby Come Naa, remembered her as 'inherently simple and deeply attached to her family.' 'She became more active on social media during our shoot and soon mastered it,' he told ETimes. 'She was chilled out about work and loved spending quality time with her loved ones. A happy person, full of life. What happened is just too shocking. I pray her family finds strength during these incredibly difficult times.' 'I used to call her Chupdi, my Chupdi' – Hindustani Bhau on their sibling-like bond Vikas Fhatak, popularly known as Hindustani Bhau, became close to Shefali during Bigg Boss 13. 'She was like a sister, like a daughter to me,' he told ANI, his voice trembling. 'I used to call her Chupdi—my Chupdi. That bond was real.' Bhau recalled her strength and described her as 'a daughter who had the heart and responsibility of a son.' He added, 'She took care of her entire family. She had a heart attack, but her heart was never weak.' Their memories together are now painful reminders of her absence. 'Her number is still saved in my mother's phone. But it doesn't ring anymore. That silence... it breaks you,' he said. On Rakshabandhan, she would surprise him with gifts. 'I have so many memories. I cry just thinking of them,' he admitted. 'Why did she have to go like this? All we can do now is pray for her peace.' 'She was a superstar from day one' – Mika Singh bids farewell Singer Mika Singh, who featured alongside Shefali in the hit track Honthon Pe Bas, expressed his sorrow outside the funeral. 'She achieved stardom at an age when most people are still figuring out who they are,' he said. 'Shefali wasn't just a pretty face—she was a performer, a magnet. Whether it was fans or directors, everyone loved her. Wherever she went, she left a mark.' Speaking about her husband, actor Parag Tyagi, Mika said, 'Her mother was inconsolable. Parag... he's shattered. My heart breaks for him. She was his world.' He ended with a poignant reminder: 'Stars like Shefali never die. They live on in our hearts. She was a superstar from day one—and she'll always be remembered that way.' 'I will find you in every lifetime' – Parag Tyagi's moving farewell After her prayer meet, Parag Tyagi finally broke his silence, sharing an emotional post: 'I will find you every time you are born and I will love you in every lifetime. I love you eternally, meri gundi, meri chokri.' In his previous post, he wrote, 'Shefali, meri pari—the ever-eternal Kaanta Laga—was so much more than what met the eye. She was fire wrapped in grace... fiercely driven, yet soft and selfless. She was sab ki maa—always putting others first, always offering comfort. A generous daughter, a devoted wife, and a wonderful mom to Simba.' She lived with love, left with grace Shefali Jariwala lived a life that blended stardom with simplicity, fame with humility. She was a girl next door who became a national icon, yet never lost touch with her roots. Her story isn't just about a viral music video or a TV show. It's about a life well-lived, relationships deeply felt, and memories that will linger—on screens, in hearts, and in the soft rhythm of Kaanta Laga. She may have left the stage, but her spotlight will never dim. May her name be remembered not just as the Kaanta Laga girl, but as Shefali—the performer, the friend, the daughter, the wife, the dreamer, and the star who shone in her own unique light.

From The Hindu, July 7, 1975: Folk dance ensemble disbanded

New Delhi, July 8: The national folk dance ensemble, intended to be a show-window of India's rich folk dance tradition, has been disbanded. The ensemble had lived a precarious life for some months and was twice close to disaster. But protests from cultural circles prolonged its life. The Prime Minister's Secretariat, which had sponsored and fostered the ensemble, finally decided to close it a few days ago. A spokesman of the Secretariat, however, said the idea of an ensemble had not been finally buried. Discussions were under way to find out if it could be 'refashioned.' The ensemble was started with two objectives: to preserve folk dance tradition in its pristine purity and to present to audiences in India and abroad an image of the rich variety of Indian folk dance and music through suitable shows. What went wrong with the ensemble, the performances of which drew good reviews and unstinted praise from critics, music directors and choreographers alike? 'It was nobody's baby,' was the general complaint of the artistes who constituted it. Two ministries also wanted to have a finger in the pie. 'It took 27 years to bring folk dance to the active dance theatre. All this has been undone now because of bureaucratic apathy,' said Mr. Narendra Sharma, who was an ensemble instructor. Many artistes blamed the Sangeet Natak Akademi, which administered the affairs of the ensemble. It had failed to provide the ensemble with suitable premises even nine months after its inception, said Director Zohra Sehgal.
