Speaking about their first meeting, Tanisha said, "We first met during the show's narration, where Ektaa ma'am was also present.
While everyone confidently went up to introduce themselves, I was honestly freaking out and super nervous, well, obviously, because she's such a huge public figure. After everyone had met her, she actually came up to me and introduced herself, which felt like such a warm and friendly gesture.
She truly is incredibly approachable, grounded, and wonderfully creative."
When asked about sharing screen space with her, the actress explained, "We haven't shared many scenes together yet, but in the ones we have, she's made it so comfortable and easy to perform with her, allowing the shoot to flow effortlessly.
She's always on point, attentive to both her dialogues and mine, and often comes up with great suggestions that elevate the scene."
She continued, "I am having a great experience working with her. I feel like I'm going to learn a lot from her, and I always look forward to our scenes together. Every time we work, it feels like an opportunity to pick up something new. I am soooo lucky that I get a chance to work with her and share the screen with her. It's a blessing."
In the show, Tanisha's character Vrinda helps Smriti Aka Tulsi after her son gets framed in a hit and run accident case.

Sometimes in the world of glitz and glamour, some names get lost, only to be remembered after ages. There are so many actors and actresses who have given hit films but eventually vanished into thin air, leaving no traces. Today, we will discuss an actress whom Bollywood completely forgot. Despite this, Yash Chopra's actress has worked with names like Dev Anand, Raj Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna, and more. Bollywood's Forgotten Actress This actress played Kajol's grandmother in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, and the song Aye Meri Zohra Jabeen from the film Waqt was picturised on her. If it doesn't ring a bell, then let us tell you we are talking about none other than Achala Sachdev. Who Was Achala Sachdev? Born in 1920 in Peshawar, Pakistan, Achala Sachdev was an Indian actress who appeared in classic films of the Hindi-language film industry. She started her career as a child actress and later became known for mother and grandmother roles in Hindi films. Achala Sachdev's Last Days Were Painful For an actress who was loved by the audience for her roles, her last days were painful. She lived alone in her two-bedroom flat in Pune for over a decade, with just one attendant to look after her. Both her children were not in touch with her, and before her demise, she donated her house to an NGO.

War 2 advance booking: Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR's film eyes over ₹4 crore opening on first day, check details
War 2 First Day Advance Booking Report: Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR's upcoming action-packed movie War 2 is going to release on 14 August and its advance booking opened on Sunday. So far, the film has minted more than ₹ 4 crore already in advance booking. According to by 10.30 pm Sunday, the advance booking figure has crossed ₹ 4.24 crore. The figures are for about 9000 shows in Hindi (2D, IMAX, DOLBY, 4DX and other formats), 100 for Tamil and 115 for Telugu. The Telugu shows are less than expected, considering the film also stars a popular Telugu actor, Jr NTR, added the trade tracker. Sacnilk said the Hindi version of War 2 is will release on 5000 screens in India, which features a runtime of 2 hours 53 minutes. The international advance booking also opened for War 2 last week, however, the response was not so warm. Trade sources say YRF is releasing the Hindi version in 900 US screens for paid previews. Till Sunday, about 1,600 tickets had been sold, leaving many auditoriums almost empty. Although the movie will see a limited release in the Southern belt — Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Pondicherry- the film will be available in 2 other languages besides Hindi — Telugu and Tamil. Made on a budget of 400 crores, according to Bollywood Hungama, the costliest Spy film in India is expected to emerge as one of the biggest openers of the year. Though the numbers appear promising, War 2 is going to clash with Rajinikanth's Coolie, which releases on the same day. On Sunday, YRF declared advanced booking open on Sunday with special video. The caption on Instagram read, 'Are you ready to witness the CARNAGE in cinemas from August 14th? BOOK TICKETS NOW for #War2 and let us give you an experience to cherish for the rest of your lives 🔥🔥 Releasing in Hindi, Telugu & Tamil in theatres worldwide.' Directed by Ayan Mukherji and the latest in the YRF Spy Universe, War 2 brings back Hrithik as rogue R&AW agent, Kabir. He is faced with a new villain this time, played by Jr NTR. His love interest has also switched this time from Vaani Kapoor to Kiara Advani.

War 2 Hindi Advance Booking Report: Hrithik Roshan and NTR film sells 20,000 tickets in National Chains; Good start in pre-sales
War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, is 3 days away from its release. The spy actioner opened its advance booking in Hindi today, and the reports are encouraging. One must note that the prebookings for the Hindi version in Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Pondicherry are yet to open. War 2 sells 20,000 tickets in the top national chains As of 10 PM (Sunday, August 10), War 2 sold over 19,250 tickets in the top three national chains —PVR Inox and Cinepolis —for the opening day alone. Of which 14,500 admissions were registered at PVR Inox, while Cinepolis recorded around 4,750 admissions. The movie is releasing on over 5000 screens in Hindi, with limited screenings in South states as well. The pre-sales have opened on a good note. It is expected to see a massive surge soon after its pre-release event in Hyderabad. The Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer is expected to clock a phenomenal booking before the first show. With three days still in hand, War 2 pre-sales in the national chains are expected to be on the lines of Tiger 3. It is better than Hrithik Roshan's previous release, Fighter, directed by Siddharth Anand. However, a lot will depend on its bookings in the next couple of days. War 2 targets a banger start in Hindi The spy universe movie is likely to take a banger debut on its opening day, both in Hindi and Telugu markets. It is a non-holiday Thursday release. An enormous business turnout can be expected on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, making a phenomenal opening weekend of four days. It will be interesting to see whether the movie can topple the opening day collection of its prequel, War (2019). The film is expected to have a solid advance, with an immense walk-in audience flocking to the cinemas on the opening day. Interestingly, YRF has secured around 90% of the single-screen cinemas in North India, which will benefit it to a significant extent. Moreover, the movie will have an exclusive release in all formats, including IMAX, 4DX, ICE, and Dolby Cinema. War 2 is releasing in cinemas on August 14, in a clash with Coolie. The box office clash will affect its business, but not majorly in the Hindi circuit, if it manages to open to a superlative word-of-mouth. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
