BB OTT3's Vishal Pandey Reacts To Dating Rumours With Sana Makbul
Vishal Pandey recently addressed dating rumours with his BB OTT 3 co-contestant Sana Makbul after coming out of the show.
Vishal Pandey, who became a household name with his viral TikTok videos, has been garnering immense attention ever since he appeared in the popular television reality show Bigg Boss OTT 3. Besides his gameplay in the show, he also sparked dating rumours with co-contestant Sana Makbul. The actress shares a close friendship with Pandey, and after coming out from the show, even collaborated with him on a music video. Now, the TikToker addressed their dating rumours.
In a recent interview, Vishal Pandey talked about his bond with actress Sana Makbul and dismissed all the speculations regarding their dating rumours. 'See, I'm very happy. Aapko jodna hai naam jodo. (If you want to add our names, you can.) She and I are very clear in our minds. Humko humara relation bohot ache se malum hai (We know our relationship very well)," Vishal told Zoom/TellyTalk India, making it clear that their relationship is unaffected by public opinion.
He continued, 'I don't think kisi ke kuch bolne se aur naam jodne se usko ya fir mujhe, humari zindagi main kuch fark bhi pad raha hai. It's okay aapko (name) jodna hai aap jod sakte ho, aapko galat bolna hai aap bol sakte ho. But we are very clear in our heads." (By someone saying something or adding the name, it is not making any difference to him or me in our lives. It's okay, you want to add (our names), you can, if you want to say something wrong, you can say it.)"
In the same conversation, Pandey was also asked if he and Makbul talk about their dating rumours whenever they meet. To this, he stated, 'Ab hum logo ne wo karna bhi chhod diya hai. Hum har ek cheez ko intervene nahi kar payenge, kyuki itni cheezein bolte hai, toh thik hai. Toh, let it go. (Now we have stopped doing that. We will not be able to intervene, because we say so many things, so okay.)"
Besides grabbing attention with his close friendship with Makbul in Bigg Boss OTT 3, the two of them also appeared in a romantic music video, Tu Saath Hai Toh. Presented by T-Series, the track is from ace music director and film composer, Mithoon's album 'Master of Melody'. The soulful lyrics written by Sayeed Quadri, alongside the plotline of the audio-visual track showcase a lovely chemistry between the duo, leaving their fans awestruck.

Rise of TikTok in US: How TikTok sparked short-form video race…and won
Rise of TikTok in US: How TikTok sparked short-form video race…and won The rise of TikTok in the US, which has over 1.12 billion monthly active users globally, not only pioneered the now-prevalent short-form video content, but also sparked a race in the sector. Advertisement Representational Image TikTok is arguably the most widely-used social app in the United States, with American users spending about 108 minutes on the app on average per day, according to various reports, The rise of TikTok, which has over 1.12 billion monthly active users globally, not only pioneered the now-prevalent short-form video content, but also sparked a race in the sector, which it seems to be winning by huge market. How TikTok pioneered short-form videos? TikTok's rise in the US due to its innovative use of short-form videos, reshaped the social media landscape across the world, forcing US giants like Meta and Google to jump into the race and launch their own versions of short-form video content, such as Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Advertisement === But despite aggressive marketing and pouring in billions, TikTok's competitors lag behind, primarily because of the unique algorithm employed by the ByteDance-owned app, and its goal-oriented focus on youth and trending topics, as per experts. 'It is the center of the internet for young people. It's where they go for entertainment, news, trends, even shopping. TikTok sets the tone for everyone else,' a CNBC report quoted Jasmine Enberg, vice president and principal analyst at Emarketer, as saying. Advertisement === Notably, TikTok's main competitors, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, have introduced new features such as creator tools for users, and are even considering launching separate apps, but have not been able to catch up to the Chinese-owned app. Why TikTok rise poses health concerns? However, the rising popularity of short-form video content driven by TikTok, has a vicious dark side with experts flagging rising mental-health concerns and shortened attention spans, especially among younger users. 'Infinite scrolling and short-form video are designed to capture your attention in short bursts,' says Dr. Yann Poncin, associate professor at the Child Study Center at Yale University, according to CNBC. 'In the past, entertainment was about taking you on a journey through a show or story. Now, it's about locking you in for just a few seconds, just enough to feed you the next thing the algorithm knows you'll like,' he notes.

Mahavatar Narsimha impacted Saiyaara's box office performance? Producer says 'Intention was not to take away...'
July welcomed two of the biggest releases, Saiyaara and Mahavatar Narsimha, in theaters. Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, became a major success at the box office with its phenomenal run. Meanwhile, Ashwin Kumar's directorial emerged as the highest-grossing animated movie in India. Reportedly, the latter impacted the screen count of the Bollywood release. The makers have opened up about it, saying they had no intention to take away success. Mahavatar Narsimha's producer talks about the success of the blockbuster movie According to Bollywood Hungama, the makers recently attended the success press meet of Mahavatar Narsimha at a temple in Mumbai. During an interaction, producer Chaluve Gowda got candid about the success of the surprise blockbuster and what worked for the mythological animated movie. Gowda shared that while the story wasn't new, it gained wide appreciation for its animation. Talking about the specifics, the producer noted that it was no less than a live-action movie, especially in the last 20-25 minutes, which made the film different from other movies based on the same topic. Mahavatar Narsimha didn't have 'intention to take away the success' of other movies In the event, producer Chaluve Gowda also addressed if Mahavatar Narsimha thwarted the blockbuster run of Mohit Suri's film, Saiyaara. Talking about Ashwin Kumar's directorial, Gowda added that it was not just for kids and that the makers had "confidence" in the movie. "The intention was not to take away the success of other films. But the content was so good that it managed to run successfully," he said. Without mentioning other releases, the Mahavatar Narsimha producer also stressed that those movies showed a "slowing trend" in the box office market. Saiyaara vs Mahavatar Narsimha's performances Produced by T-Series, Saiyaara was well-received by the audience. The Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer had an excellent opening at the box office. It crossed the Rs 300 crore mark within three weeks of its release. On the other hand, Mahavatar Narsimha, which was released a week after Saiyaara, was a late bloomer. While the initial figures of the Hombale Films' production were not as strong, it later gained immense traction through positive word-of-mouth. After its good momentum, Mahavatar Narsimha began to directly compete with Saiyaara in the third week on a day-to-day basis for screen space and audience attention.

The composer explained that he did not want to recreate hits like 'Aashiq Banaya' or 'Masakalli', choosing instead to focus on original work to uphold his family's musical such projects, however, came with consequences.
