Bipasha Basu, Daughter Devi Twin In Matching Dupattas As They Visit Gurudwara
Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover met on the set of their horror movie Alone in 2015. After dating for a while, the couple married in a Bengali wedding ceremony on April 30, 2016. Six years later, they welcomed a baby girl in November 2022. For the unversed, Devi was diagnosed with a ventricular septal defect (VSD), a condition characterised by holes in the heart. At just three months old, she underwent open-heart surgery to repair the defect. Her parents have often spoken about how bravely Devi fought at the hospital.
Regarding her professional life, Bipasha has been away from acting for quite some time. Her last appearance was in the 2020 crime thriller miniseries, Dangerous, which premiered on the OTT platform MX Player. Directed by Bhushan Patel, the show also starred Karan Singh Grover, Sonali Raut, and Suyyash Rai in key roles. Her last film appearance was in the 2015 horror film Alone, where she played a dual role.
Discussing her potential return to the entertainment industry, she told ETimes, 'I went against the tide always. And it's always worked for me. So, I do believe that you have to live your life. The work and your life have to kind of be in balance. Mine is not right now. It's my baby, my baby, my baby. But it is going to come. I think it is the right time. I will do it."

Kartik Aaryan says he'll faint if he experiences anything supernatural
Kartik Aaryan, fresh off horror comedies like 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' and the upcoming 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3', is set to star in 'Naagzilla', a fantasy-comedy. Aaryan claims he's never experienced anything supernatural and hopes to keep it that way. He recounted a time when his mother performed a ritual to ward off the evil eye during the success of his films. After tickling the audience's funny bones with back-to-back horror comedies Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and the upcoming Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Kartik Aaryan is now ready to step into an all-new fantastical world with Naagzilla, a fantasy-comedy where he is reportedly set to play a shape-shifting snake. As he ventures into yet another supernatural universe on screen, Kartik insists he has never encountered anything remotely eerie in real life—and wants to keep it that way. In an exclusive chat with ETimes, the actor revealed, "I have never experienced the supernatural, and I don't even want to, as it would be very problematic. While doing horror comedy, you can react for a long time, and you can show fear etc., but if it happens in reality, I will faint (laughs).' The actor, who has become a familiar face in genres that flirt with the mystical and bizarre, admitted that he draws a strict line between reel and real when it comes to the paranormal. When asked whether he believes in nazar (evil eye), Kartik shared a candid anecdote involving his mother. 'No, not really anything for nazar. But I remember back during Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, I was falling ill regularly, so mummy ne woh mirchi ghuma ke jalayi thi. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Someone had told her that shayad nazar lag gayi hogi, as things had started going well for me. At times people do become superstitious—but hopefully not to that extent. My parents are doctors after all.' Still, despite the rational upbringing, the actor admits faith plays a role in his journey. 'Yes, we are religious. We go to temples for prayers. Like, we go to Siddhivinayak when something big is happening in life.' Kartik is amidst two films right now one is with Sreeleela , directed by Anurag Basu and the other being with Ananya Panday which has been titled as Tu Meri Mani Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.
