Pragya Kapoor shows support for Mrunal Thakur amid backlash over her old 'manly' comment on Bipasha Basu: 'One of the rarest souls I know'
Producer Pragya Kapoor has seemingly come out in support of actress Mrunal Thakur, who has been facing criticism after an old interview resurfaced online in which she made an unkind remark about Bipasha Basu . The viral clip, dating back to Mrunal's Kumkum Bhagya days, has been widely shared on social media, with many accusing the actress of "body-shaming" Bipasha. Mrunal issues public apology As the backlash grew, Mrunal addressed the controversy head-on, admitting her mistake. In an Instagram Story shared on Friday, the actress wrote that, at 19, she had said 'silly things' without understanding the 'weight of her words' and how even playful banter could end up hurting someone. She added that, over time, she has learned to appreciate that 'beauty comes in all forms.' Pragya and Hina Khan praise Mrunal's honesty Mrunal's candid apology has drawn support from several industry colleagues. Pragya Kapoor praised her without directly referencing the controversy, writing on Instagram Stories, 'Mrunal, your kindness, generosity, and endless support make you one of the rarest souls I know. Keep glowing and spreading love everywhere you go. Love you, darling.' Earlier, Hina Khan also lauded Mrunal for owning up to her mistake. She shared, 'Wisdom is the fruit of the tree of knowledge, rooted in experiences. We all make mistakes, especially when we are younger. I can very well relate to Mrunal... But with time, we evolve, we become kinder, we become compassionate. We learn by lifting each other up, fixing each other's crown.' Mrunal Thakur apologizes for Bipasha Basu remark: 'My intent was never to body-shame' Bipasha's cryptic response Meanwhile, Bipasha Basu appeared to respond indirectly to the resurfaced video. On Wednesday, she shared a cryptic post on Instagram Stories that read, 'Strong women lift each other up.' Adding her own note, Bipasha wrote, 'Get those muscles, beautiful ladies! We should be strong. Muscles help you attain good physical and mental health forever! Bust the age-old thought process that women should not look strong or be physically strong.' Though she didn't mention Mrunal by name, many interpreted the post as a subtle response to the controversy.

Janmashtami celebrated with festive fervour
1 2 Jaipur: The Pink City turned into a canvas of devotion and festivity Saturday as thousands of devotees celebrated Janmashtami with grandeur. From historic temples to bustling markets, every corner of Jaipur resonated with chants, rituals, and vibrant cultural events. The day began before dawn at Govind Devji temple, where the special Mangla Jhanki at 4:30 am unveiled the deity in new yellow attire. The Mangla and Gwal aartis drew massive gatherings, with long queues stretching from Jaleb Chowk to the temple premises. To ensure order, the administration created four separate queues—for pass holders, barefoot devotees, worshippers with footwear, and those in the Jagmohan category. At Radha Damodar temple in Chaura Rasta, traditions dating back nearly 500 years were observed. Here, Krishna is worshipped as a 2.5-year-old child, with Janmashtami celebrated during the day and Nandotsav in the evening—a practice followed for the past 300 years. In Vaishali Nagar, Chitrakoot Stadium became a festive hotspot as Samras Bharat Seva Sansthan hosted a grand Janmashtami programme. Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, MLA Gopal Sharma, and JMC-Greater Mayor Somya Gurjar attended the event. The Dahi Handi competition, featuring teams of youngsters above 14, electrified the crowd, while the Bal Gopal contest saw children dressed as Krishna. Across the Walled City, shops selling idols, costumes, and decorative items overflowed with buyers, while children dressed as Radha and Krishna added colour to the streets.
