Tu Dhadkan Main Dil: Sourabh Raaj Jain Reveals What Drew Him To The Show
Sourabh Raaj Jain is back on track with his latest show, Tu Dhadkan Main Dil, where he plays Raghav, a rockstar with a mission to reunite a young girl with her parents. In a recent interview, the talented actor shares the story behind his character, his comeback journey, and what drew him to this unique project.
In an exclusive conversation with The Times of India TV, Sourabh Raaj Jain opened up about his new show, describing it as a game-changer that defies typical drama conventions. He highlighted the show's emotionally driven narrative, emphasising its unique storyline and depth. Sourabh Raaj Jain teased fans, promising a lot of excitement and drama in the upcoming series.
The actor shared, 'I'm always drawn to roles that challenge me emotionally—characters that are flawed, complex, and human. When I read Raghav's story, it instantly resonated with me. The way the narrative explores the emotional gap between a father and daughter, and how that slowly begins to heal, felt deeply meaningful. It wasn't just another story—it had something to say. That's what made me say yes."
The actor further added, 'Tu Dhadkan Main Dil is not your typical television drama. It's subtle, emotionally textured, and deeply human," highlighting the show's unique storytelling approach.
Sourabh Raaj Jain went on to explain, 'At its heart, it's about a child wanting her parents to be together. She is yet to meet her father, and in the process, even loses her mother. What I love about the show is that it doesn't rely on high-octane drama to make a point. Instead, it draws you in through silences, unspoken emotions, and the quiet healing that love can bring. Viewers can expect a lot of moments that will make them pause, reflect, and feel."
Talking about his character Raghav, Sourabh mentioned, 'Raghav is not your cliché rockstar. On the outside, he's charismatic, confident—a performer who owns the stage. But inside, he's emotionally disconnected—someone who has built walls around himself after personal loss."
He found that preparing for the role required a deep understanding of the character's emotional landscape, going beyond physicality and presence to capture the profound silence that defines him.

Malaika Arora Reveals Co-Parenting Arhaan Khan With Arbaaz Khan 'Has Its Challenges'
Malaika Arora said that while co-parenting is hard, she and Arbaaz Khan have found their balance. Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan were married for about 18 years before they got divorced. The former couple shares a son, Arhaan Khan, whom they had to co-parent. In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, Malaika Arora opened up about the challenges she and Arbaaz Khan faced while co-parenting their son, before they found their balance and established boundaries. When asked whether co-parenting is easy, she replied, 'It has its challenges, for sure. It's very important to find that balance. I cannot sit down here and say that it's the easiest thing on planet Earth. It isn't. We… every day, through co-parenting, you have to constantly try to navigate. But after all these years, we have found a good balance." She added, 'Arhaan is now a grown-up. He is 22 years old. Bachcha thodi hai. Things he needs to come and speak to his mother, he knows. Things he wants to address with his father, he will address with his father. So wo ek situation ban gaya hai. It's very clear, we have these boundaries, and that's how it is." 'It's hard. Nothing in life is easy. Sabke bohot saare opinions aate hai (on how one should live). But I think relationships are very fragile, sometimes. Of course, I would have loved for my marriage to be forever. But voh hua nahi. That doesn't mean I've lost faith in love. That doesn't mean that what I've done was a huge mistake or that I could have changed the course of my life," she mentioned. Malaika Arora's Divorce From Arbaaz Khan, Breakup With Arjun Kapoor Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan got married in 1998. She was about 25 years old at that time. Four years into their marriage, they welcomed their son Arhaan Khan in 2002. After being married for 18 years, the couple announced their separation in 2016 and finalised their divorce in 2017. Although Malaika later dated Arjun Kapoor, they are no longer together. Last year, Arjun Kapoor confirmed that he and Malaika had called it quits after nearly six years of dating. Malaika Arora hasn't been linked to anyone since her breakup. The Bollywood star had a tough time last year. Meanwhile, her ex-husband, Arbaaz Khan, tied the knot with Sshura Khan in 2023, and the couple is expecting their first child together.

Barkha Singh Opens Up On Being Replaced: ‘I Can't Play The Controversy Game'
Barkha Singh said that she has been lucky to set foot in the OTT space but noted that there were various factors that determined if one would have the project or not. Barkha Singh has had a busy professional year, with two web series released in recent months: Criminal Justice: A Family Matter, starring Pankaj Tripathi, and Lafangey. She has carved out a niche for herself in the digital arena and is making excellent progress in the film industry. She has always been outspoken and in a recent interview, Barkha shared how she was replaced by someone with a lot of media attention and PR. In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Barkha said that she has been lucky to set foot in the OTT space but notes that there are various factors that determine if one has the project or not. Recalling one incident, Barkha said, 'I was selected for a role, my fittings were done, but then at the last minute, I was replaced by someone who was just very topical because of their media and PR spottings. They got into some controversy and they replaced me only because the platforms felt that that person would get them more eyeballs. Such things give you anxiety. As actors, we only have our skill to fall back on, but in today's time, you have to play the game. I can't play the controversy game, but those who do, they get so many offers." Barkha Singh On Joined Criminal Justice Barkha Singh was last seen in the fourth season of the acclaimed crime thriller series Criminal Justice. The actress admitted that she was scared of joining the show mid way. 'There was a fear if people would accept me, but more than that, it was also a change of category for me as until now, the audience has seen me in a lot of sweet girl-next-door roles, but here it was a no makeup, no glam serious role of a lawyer, so it was a double gamble for me," Barkha said. Barkha Singh Was Once Stereotyped By Casting Directors Moreover, Barkha claimed that for a long time she was confined to a glamorous role as casting director thought she would not be fit otherwise. She noted that being cast in other roles was out of the question, she even struggled to get auditions. But thankfully, she got a good response for Criminal Justice and later, the same casting people have called her to say how different she looked.
