Days after a video of Disha Vakani trying a rakhi to the Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah maker Asit Kumarr Modi surfaced on social media, Jennifer Mistry has now claimed that the entire event was planned to 'clear image". In a recent interview, Mistry, who used to play the role of Mrs Roshan Sodhi in TMKOC, claimed that Disha Vakani looked uncomfortable in her video with Asit Modi.
'Khisyani billi khambha nooche, it's been 17 years and till today, not even a single photo of Disha tying rakhi to Asit ji has surfaced. This time, the whole thing was recorded on video. Now, how will they clear this image? And they are saying that Disha went to Asit ji's house but actually Disha didn't go to Asit ji's house, Asit ji and Neela ji went to Disha's house. It was clearly visible that Disha was very uncomfortable and she was not smiling," she told Filmygyan.

Who Is Disha Vakani?
Disha Vakani used to play the iconic role of Dayaben in TMKOC. However, she has been missing from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah for years now. She went on maternity leave in 2018 and has not returned since. Just a few months ago, Asit Modi exclusively confirmed to News18 Showsha that Disha would not be returning to the popular sitcom.
'It is difficult for her now (to return to the show). For women, life changes after marriage. Working with small children and managing the house is really a bit difficult for them. But I am still positive. I feel somewhere that god will do a miracle and she will return. If she comes, then it will be a good thing. If for some reason she does not come, then I will have to bring another Dayaben for the show," the Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah creator said.

Divya Khossla says she 'lived in a slum' to prepare for role in Ek Chatur Naar
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 17 (ANI): Actress Divya Khossla has revealed that she "lived in a slum in Lucknow" to prepare for her role in her upcoming film 'Ek Chatur Naar,' where she stars opposite Neil Nitin Mukesh. The actress shared that the experience was "one-of-a-kind," as it gave her a chance to see "the other side of living" and bring authenticity to her performance. Divya posted pictures from the film on Instagram, where she appeared in a simple salwar kameez with no makeup, her hair tied in a braid, and a black thread around her neck. She wrote, "I lived in a slum in Lucknow to understand the life of slum dwellers for my role in #EkChaturNaar. It's been a one-of-a-kind experience to witness the other side of living and bring it to life with this transformation. Can't wait to take you all on this rollercoaster of a quirky comedy! On 12th September, hosiyari starts! #ChaturGiri #DivyaKhosla." The first-look poster of the film was also released recently, where the looks of both Divya and Neil's characters were unveiled. In the poster, Divya appears to be portraying the role of a homemaker as she is shown cutting vegetables with a mysterious look on her face. Neil is seen standing next to her, dressed sharply in a formal suit, holding a gun with a sly smile. Produced by Umesh Shukla, Ashish Wagh, and Zeeshan Ahmad, 'Ek Chatur Naar' will be released in cinemas on September 12, 2025. The makers have not disclosed much information about the film yet. (ANI)

Where is Kate Gosselin now? Life as a nurse and 'dog mom' after reality TV fame
Kate Gosselin has lived most of her adult life under the glare of TV lights. Back in 2007, her family's TLC show Jon & Kate Plus 8 made her a household name, capturing the chaos of raising twins Mady and Cara plus sextuplets Aaden, Alexis, Collin, Hannah, Joel, and Leah. According to People, the show ran until 2009, then rebranded as Kate Plus 8 in 2010, sticking around until 2017. Where is Kate Gosselin now?(Instagram/kateplusmy8) It was part sweet family chaos, part public implosion. Fans saw the Gosselins' divorce take place on camera, followed by years of custody fights. Kate ended up with primary custody, though Hannah and Collin later moved in with Jon full-time. The other kids have little or no contact with their father. Fast forward: Kate is now 50, living in North Carolina, raising her dogs, and working as a nurse again. In July 2025, she hopped on TikTok to share slices of her current life. 'There's gonna be a lot of dogs on it. And kids, but mostly dogs and me,' she told followers, calling herself in her 'German shepherd dog mom era.' Kate's life from reality star to nurse Born Katie Irene Kreider in Philadelphia in 1975, Kate trained as a nurse before fame ever came calling. As per People, she worked in labor and delivery in Pennsylvania until her life turned upside down after meeting Jon in 1997. Fertility treatments followed, twins in 2000, sextuplets in 2004, and then, TV. After the divorce, Kate kept working the reality circuit - Kate Plus 8, Kate Plus Date, and even a stint on Special Forces: World's Toughest Test in 2023, which ended with her bowing out after a painful neck injury. 'I knew, being a nurse, that I had to go get checked out and make sure there was no lifelong injury there,' she told People at the time. These days, though, the scrubs are real. Kate works as a pediatric home health nurse. In a candid TikTok exchange, she explained why, despite all that TV money, she is back to nursing. 'Providing for 8 kids, college funds… and LAWYERS,' she said. 'Sad bc my kids could have a lot more saved, and I could have a retirement saved if it weren't for lawyers," she added. Kate's family ties and fractured relationships Her relationship with Jon remains non-existent. In 2019, he told Dr. Oz, 'We don't talk, nothing.' Kate later dismissed his comments as 'delusional ramblings.' Also read: Amid divorce rumors, Travis Hunter and wife Leanna Lenee add a new member to family Their son Collin became a flashpoint. Kate placed him in a special needs program in 2016; Jon later took custody in 2018. Collin accused both parents of mistreatment at different times, though Jon was never charged, and Kate denied allegations, saying her son had 'multiple psychiatric diagnoses,' reports People. Despite the turmoil, Kate still marks milestones online. In May 2024, she celebrated the sextuplets' 20th birthdays, writing on Instagram: 'No more teenagers in this house! Happy 20th birthday, my forever babies!' On TikTok, she has even joked that her now-adult kids watch reruns of Jon & Kate Plus 8 with their friends. 'Isn't that cute?' she told fans. FAQs Is Kate Gosselin still on TV? Not regularly - her last major show was Special Forces in 2023, which she exited early. Where does Kate Gosselin live today? She lives in North Carolina with her two German shepherds. What does Kate Gosselin do for work now? She works as a pediatric home health nurse. Are Jon and Kate Gosselin still in contact? No, both have said they don't communicate at all.
