Renuka Shahane reveals Ashutosh Rana married her only because ‘spiritual guru' chose her as ‘bahu', left her mom shocked: ‘Guruji ne bataaya islie?'
Renuka Shahane and Ashutosh Rana dated each other for three years before tying the knot in 2001. The actor couple, who is blessed with two sons, Shauryaman and Satyendra, have always been comfortable in talking about their love story and married life publicly. While appearing on the second episode of Gauahar Khan's podcast show MaaNoranjan with Gauahar Khan on Youtube recently, Renuka opened up about her relationship and marriage with her husband. She also revealed that Rana only asked her hand for marriage after his spiritual guru advised him to do so.
During the conversation, the Circus actor shared that while she and Ashutosh Rana were in a relationship back then, it was difficult to take the huge step of getting married at the peak of their careers. 'Although, Rana ji and I are very much in love with each other, we were also happy with our own independent lives. And, marriage is quite a scary proposition. Being in the public eye and then two of us getting married at the peak of our careers can be difficult. One feels that nothing should go wrong, not just in the relationship, but even when you are into the marriage, you don't want anything bad to happen,' she reflected.

Renuka revealed that the Loveyapa actor married her because his guru, unaware of their relationship, felt she was the right girl for him. 'The only reason why Rana ji got married to me was because of his spiritual guru, he told him to. While we were dating, his guruji told him that I have chosen a bahu for you. He was scared, who is this person? He didn't know that guruji was talking about me only. Guruji said that she is a good girl, you should ask for her hand,' she said.
The actor added, 'Rana ji was clueless, but he actually did tell this to my mother. My mom was very shocked. She said, 'Guruji ne bataaya islie aap karahe hain ya aapko sach mein karni hai (You are marrying her because guruji said so or you really want to marry her)?''
Explaining the reason behind saying yes to him for the wedding, Renuka shared, 'But, I got married only because I wanted kids. I was very happy because my idea of having a stable family background for my kids was very clear in my head. Rana ji being a very family oriented person, you want the father of your child to be like that.'
On the work front, Ashutosh Rana was last seen in Loveyapa, with Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor, while Renuka Shahane last starred in the Marathi film Devmanus.

Ashutosh Rana and Renuka Shahane make a wonderful couple and the duo serve an inspiration to many with their partnership.

Renuka and Ashutosh both have been in the industry for so many years and known for their powerful performances in a number of projects. Renuka opened up on their married in an interview on Gauahar Khan's podcast, MaaNoranjan.

Rajeev Sen slams haters claiming he lives off sister Sushmita Sen's money: ‘Don't need to be SRK to prove my success'
Bollywood actor Sushmita Sen's brother, Rajeev Sen, has often grabbed headlines due to his personal life. The model and businessman, in his new vlog, addressed the comments from his critics, claiming that he lives off his sister's money and leads a lavish life while residing in his mother's house. (Also Read: Charu Asopa slams ex-husband Rajeev Sen for 'drama' jibe, says she is leaving Mumbai as her 'priorities have changed') Rajeev expressed that he exists in this world because of his family and wanted to respond to the frequent criticisms he receives. He spoke about the negative comments on his posts, accusing him of depending on his sister financially, living in his mother's home, and enjoying a luxurious lifestyle thanks to his parents. He clarified that he does not need to be a superstar to prove his worth or success. Discussing his business ventures, Rajeev said, "I have had a successful jewellery business for a long time. Yes, I am fortunate that a lot of it was given to me because it was my company, it was my parents' company. A lot of it was handed to me on a plate, but even in that scenario, I had to prove myself—that I can sell jewellery. Acting or production, YouTube just happened recently. This is just a passion project that I can afford to give time to because I have other ventures. I am a successful investor. I have earned a lot of money on my own and I am very proud of that fact." Rajeev stated that if his mother ever asked him to leave the house, he would do so and be on the street. While he acknowledged that the assets he personally owns belong to him, he made it clear that he would never claim to have earned the house through his own hard work, emphasising that it belongs to his mother and is the result of her efforts. He further slammed his critics, saying, 'You people don't even have the worth of ₹10. And even if—just assume for a moment—that I'm living a luxurious life, that my mum is signing cheques for me every month, my dad is giving me money, my sister is giving me cheques and telling me to enjoy life—even if that's true, what's your problem? If I'm a content creator, then enjoy my vlogs. If I'm showing my house or something lavish, am I taking money from your pocket? No, right? So please! It doesn't matter to me what you think. My small circle of friends is my family—my parents, close friends, and the people who genuinely love me. They are the ones who matter the most. I don't need to be a Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan to prove that I am successful.' In the same vlog, Rajeev also addressed questions about his personal life, revealing whether he provides financial support for his daughter Ziana and wife Charu Asopa. He further questioned Charu's decision to move to Bikaner with their daughter, leaving Mumbai, and stated that she would eventually return to the city.

Lounge Loves: ‘Fake Podcast', Brave Man Single Origin coffee and more
I have only now discovered the social media personality and actor Satish Ray. As happens with mindless scrolling, it sometimes throws up gems. In my case, it was a reel of Ray as a Pakistani general, Janab Maqsaad, in Fake Podcast with Abhishek Singh (he plays Prashna Kumar, the host asking the questions). Hooked, I quickly moved to watching the whole episode on YouTube. Halfway through, the penny dropped. Ray is the techie friend Siddharth in Panchayat, season 2. I did say I am late to the party. I have since watched a few more episodes of Fake Podcast. Particularly hilarious is the one where Ray plays a one-sided lover Guddu Premi, clad in a T-shirt which reads 'I love you Pooja'. His eyes have an impish glint. The actor has great taste too—his apartment is featured in a design magazine. Yes, that's called drowning in a rabbit hole. I have a strong memory of madhabilata, the fragrant Rangoon creeper from the house I grew up in. In summer, the heady scent of the flowers would invade the neighbourhood, especially in the evenings. Over the years I've tried growing it in my small balcony in Mumbai without much luck. But I never gave up. Last year, I brought home a new plant from a trusted local nursery. After many months of waiting, which involved making several calls to my parents on tips to grow flowers, and consulting the family WhatsApp group, my madhabilata finally rewarded me with its first buds last week. The flowers may not be as many as from my memory, but are enough to remind me of those carefree summer evenings. Your therapist gives you guidance, mine gives me that, and granola too. It started during one session when I was famished and asked if she had something to munch on. She had just baked a fresh batch at home. Delicious. Next time, it had raisins and I detest them, but I still gobbled it. At the third session, I brought it up, and she said she had made some, but she hadn't offered it since it got burned. I still insisted I wanted it. Last session, she said, 'I couldn't make granola this time. Next time I will.' I melted. I wasn't even a granola person earlier. But if she offers again, I'll lap it up. The session doesn't feel any less fulfilling without the granola, but it does add a crunchy element I've grown to like. A perfect weekend getaway to a coffee estate in Chikmagalur—unseasonably sunny days, cool nights, and the warmest of friends—was made even better by the discovery of one of the best coffees I've ever had (with the disclaimer that I am more of a chai person but will have anything with caffeine in it). I found portable pourover sachets of the Brave Man Single Origin coffee from the Urvinkhan Estate, where we were staying, in my room and proceeded to brew a cup immediately. It turned out to be the richest, most fragrant cup of coffee ever, the aroma filling the entire room for hours. The estate manager even gave me a box of sachets that I'm running through rapidly. You don't have to visit the estate to buy the coffee (though this is highly recommended too!), and can order it by DMing them on Instagram.
