Neeharika Roy joins the supernatural comedy Gharwali Pedwali as Savi; says 'It is not your typical romantic or daily soap setup'
As the 'Gharwali' in this unusual love triangle, her presence promises to shake things up in the most unexpected ways.
With a mix of sass and sweetness, Neeharika is ready to leave a lasting impression. Speaking about her role as Savi, Neeharika Roy shares, 'Savi is not just a character; she is a whole vibe. She represents today's young, confident, and independent girls who are not afraid to take charge of their lives. I love how unapologetically bold and expressive she is, breaking the typical mould of female characters on television.
What makes Savi's character stand out is her unique blend of a modern outlook, emotional maturity, and a subtle trace of small-town grace. I enjoy fun banter and spontaneous madness in real life, too, so stepping into Savi's shoes feels very natural. It is a role that feels both exciting and meaningful to me.'
Excited about the show, the actress adds, "What makes Gharwali Pedwali so exciting for me is how unpredictably entertaining the entire concept is. It is not your typical romantic or daily soap setup; it brings together a high-spirited love triangle, a mysterious ghost, and plenty of humorous confusion. The title may sound simple at first, but once the characters start unfolding, you realise how cleverly it plays into the storyline.
There is a constant tug of war between the living and the supernatural. Playing the 'Gharwali' opposite a 'Pedwali' creates an interesting dynamic that I cannot wait to explore on screen."

RPG Group present #KarDikha India – an action manifesto that reimagines freedom as a responsibility
This Independence Day, RPG Group encourages everyone to not just celebrate freedom but to live it, show up for it with #KarDikha MUMBAI, India, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Freedom finds a fresh beat this Independence Day. Kar Dikha — a spoken word and rap anthem by RPG Group — redefines azaadi for today's India: not as a moment in history, but as a daily responsibility. RPG Group emphasizes the call to show up, take ownership, and shape a better India, stating: azaadi sirf paane ki nahi, nibhane ki bhi kahani hai. The music video draws from real stories across RPG Group and Mumbai — factory workers keeping industry moving, neurodivergent employees at Raychem RPG breaking stereotypes, Pehlay Akshar children finding their voice, Koli women entrepreneurs driving change, and Worli's youth using hip-hop to reclaim their narrative. "Freedom is not just a gift we inherit, it's a duty we live every day. Kar Dikha is our call to every Indian to turn that duty into action," saysUdayan Dutt, President – Group HR, RPG Enterprises. The video embodies RPG Group's values of Touching Lives and Hello Happiness, measuring progress not in numbers, but in the lives uplifted. Composed and produced by Mumbai hip-hop pioneer Instine, with verses by Yeda Anna (Maddy), the track blends Indian sounds with modern beats — a soundscape where grit meets hope. Shot by Alphabooom, the video is a tribute to everyday courage that rarely makes headlines. "This wasn't just a track — it's an action manifesto set to music. Collaborating with RPG, every note was shaped to carry unity and every beat to echo courage. Independence isn't just about waving a flag, it's about standing up together and hold that hope for a better, brighter, happier India," said Instine, the project's executive producer. With its unapologetic tone and raw energy, Kar Dikha speaks directly to Gen Z and young India — asking them to own the nation's future. This is our country; the responsibility to keep it moving forward is on us. "Collaborating with RPG felt magical. Seeing how deeply we are connected through this initiative was inspiring. I'm grateful to be part of something so impactful," said Yeda Anna. The music video is now streaming on YouTube and major platforms, with short form edits on Instagram Reels, LinkedIn and more.

GenZ reacts to Sridevi-Anil Kapoor's 1991 film Lamhe: A twisted plot my brain still can't process; cult classic, how?
'Yeh Lamhe, Yeh Pal Hum, Barson Yaad Karenge' is a song I always heard from my father, but never took interest to ask what he was actually singing, until I saw the film and was already deep into it. On late legend Sridevi's 62nd birthday, I, a GenZ, watched one of her most beloved films, Lamhe. Featuring her as Pooja Bhatnagar and Pallavi, the film also starred Anil Kapoor as Virendra Pratap Singh, Deepak Malhotra as Siddharth Kumar Bhatnagar, Anupam Kher as Prem Anand, and Waheeda Rehman. Before sitting through the entire three-hour film, I decided to catch up with the trailer. My jaw-dropped, and I am not saying this in a good way. Like, it literally dropped to see how trailers were treated during the 90s. Without giving any clear glimpse, it was just high-paced background score with the female lead roaming around in the garden. Despite Sridevi's double role as both mother and daughter and being YRF's production, the film tanked badly at the box office. GenZs are always bashed by Boomers and Millennials for watching wild content on the OTT medium. Are we forgetting that they watched the controversial film Lamhe during their era? If I tell my dad today, that I am watching a Netflix film in which the plot is about a man falling in love with a woman, and then years later falling for her daughter (who looks exactly like her), he would freak out. For 1991, considering it was a pre-social media era, this still feels like a taboo in the 'family WhatsApp group'. When Yash Chopra made Lamhe, the world wasn't ready. Neither was my brain in 2025. Keeping the plot's questionable ethics aside, the love and romance shown in Lamhe surely gave me a feeling of, 'Is this what love is?' GenZs are surely too busy in making quick and rash decisions when it comes to starting a new relationship or discarding an old one. Sridevi and Anil Kapoor in a way can give a fresh (though dark, twisted) perspective to today's generation – Love takes decades, not dates. The layered romance wasn't accepted in India at that time, but the film performed decently abroad. ALSO READ | GenZ reacts to Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi: I finally understand why it ruled the screens, take a bow If we draw a crystal clear comparison of Yash Raj Films' productions in the 90s to now, there has been a significant shift, and not a good one necessarily. The way there was a pretty mood board in every scene – for example, when Pallavi met Viren in Rajasthan, there was golden light, camel bells, and chiffon, all in a similar tone or shade. Everything coming together in sync, all at once, made many moments in Lamhe special in my view. Where did that cinematic vision and magic go away? Too much drama, which is expected from typical daily soaps, was a big turn off in the film. At the turning point where Sridevi aka Pallavi and her husband die is over-the-top melodramatic. As a GenZ, its not a sizeable element while consuming content now, which might have been otherwise during that time. For a second, my first thought was, 'So we are just moving to the daughter now? Okay!' More than three decades later, Lamhe is not everyone's cup of tea. Its flawed but bold, and that's what made it a cult classic after years of its release. Despite being ahead of its time back in 1991, I still can't register the film's messy plot in my mind!
