This Is How Ishita Ganguly Is Doing Her Bit For The Environment And So Can You
The world came together to mark Environment Day on June 5, with people taking small yet meaningful steps from planting trees to promoting eco-friendly habits, to protect the planet. Joining the cause were the lead actors of Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain—Diksha Dhami, Sheel Verma, and Ishita Ganguly, who took a break from their packed shooting schedule to participate in a special plantation drive near their set. The initiative served as a heartfelt tribute to Mother Earth, as each actor planted saplings and pledged to continue making sustainable choices for a greener tomorrow.
Speaking to IANS, actress Ishita Ganguly, who plays the role of Chamkili in the show, shared her experience, saying, 'For me, Environment Day is not just about one day, it's about every little choice we make every single day."
She added, 'Planting those saplings around our set felt really special. I've always found peace in nature – the sound of rustling leaves, the scent of wet soil after rain, or just watching the sky change colours at sunset. Nature grounds me and reminds me what truly matters."
In the same conversation, Ishita highlighted the small, meaningful habits she follows that somehow contribute to the environment. Ishita said, 'To avoid future problems, I carry my own water bottle, avoid plastic, reuse what I can, and plant at least one sapling every year. These might seem like small things, but they make a big difference when done with intention."
Reflecting on the healing power of nature, the actress said, 'We often look for magic in big achievements or faraway places, but honestly, the Earth is the real magician. It heals our body and soul in its unique ways. If we don't protect this magic now, we might lose it forever. I want to keep walking barefoot on soft grass, keep watching butterflies flutter around flowers, and keep breathing in fresh, clean air. Let's not wait for a miracle – let's be the miracle for Mother Earth. Happy Environment Day!"
Coming to Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain, the show airs every Monday to Saturday at 9:00 PM on Shemaroo Umang. With its engaging storyline, impressive cast and high production values, it has quickly become a viewer favourite. Set against the regal backdrop of a grand haveli, the show delves into themes of love, power, societal expectations and the personal struggles of its characters.
Besides Diksha, Sheel, and Ishita Ganguly, the sitcom also features Ektaa BP Singh and Gaurav Savita in the lead roles.

Rapper Vedan Gets Relief From Arrest In Rape Case, Kerala High Court Announces Decision
Published By : Chirag Sehgal IANS Last Updated: According to the FIR lodged in Kochi last month, the complainant alleged that she was sexually exploited by Vedan between 2021 and 2023. For the second day in succession, the Kerala High Court on Wednesday granted interim relief to Malayalam rapper Hirandas Murali, popularly known as Vedan, directing that he should not be arrested until his anticipatory bail plea in a rape case is fully heard and disposed of. On Wednesday, the court after hearing the complainant's arguments, posted the case for more hearing to August 25. To this, the counsel for Vedan said the court should give directions that he should not be arrested till his plea is finally disposed and it was granted. Vedan, who has been accused of alleged sexual assault by a woman doctor, has been absconding since the case surfaced. The Kerala Police had earlier issued a lookout notice fearing he might attempt to leave the country. According to the FIR lodged in Kochi last month, the complainant alleged that she was sexually exploited by Vedan between 2021 and 2023. Their relationship began while she was a medical student, and she claims that on at least five occasions in Kozhikode, Kochi, and other locations, he sexually assaulted her under the pretext of marriage. The complaint also mentions that they briefly lived together. She further alleged financial exploitation, stating that in 2021, when Vedan was preparing to release his debut album, she gave him Rs 15,000 on two occasions and another Rs 8,300 to fund his train travel. Their acquaintance reportedly began over social media, but in 2023, Vedan allegedly broke off the relationship, leading to distress and prompting her to file the complaint. Two other women have also since accused the rapper of misbehaviour. When the woman doctor's counsel brought to the attention of the court on Wednesday that there are more women who have filed similar cases against him, the court said cases cannot be clubbed and each case is independent of the other. Vedan, 25, rose to fame under the banner Voice of the Voiceless. He debuted in 2020 and, within the same year, gained recognition as a lyricist in hit films like 'Nayattu', 'Karam', and 'Manjummel Boys'. His socially conscious rap style earned him a large following across Kerala. This is not his first brush with controversy. In April, Vedan was arrested along with eight others following a narcotics raid at his rented apartment near here, though he was later released on bail. Around the same time, forest officials briefly detained him after discovering a tiger's tooth on his necklace. Despite his rising popularity, the present allegations have cast a shadow over the young rapper's career, with the court's next decision on his bail plea eagerly awaited.

Mithun Chakraborty Reacts To The Bengal Files Controversy: 'Please Know The Truth'
Last Updated: A new FIR has been registered against director Vivek Agnihotri on charges of "wrongfully" describing freedom fighter Gopal Mukherjee "as a butcher", in The Bengal Files. Mithun Chakraborty has opened up about the backlash and controversy surrounding his film 'The Bengal Files". The veteran actor said that the moment you show the truth, it becomes politically motivated. During an exclusive interaction with IANS, Mithun was asked, 'How do you view the backlash and controversy around the film? To this, the veteran actor shared: 'The minute you show reality, it automatically becomes politically motivated. It's surprising that nobody wants to face reality. Do you know what happened in Noakhali? – It happened before my birth. All that is known is 'A lot of people were killed' – finished. It was the same for the Great Calcutta killings as well. Nobody wants to know how and why it happened, but Vivek Agnihotri is saying, 'Please know the truth." 'A genocide took place in Noakhali in which around 40 000 Hindus were killed. In the Great Calcutta killings, the same, and people will revolt it. This is the truth, and as soon as someone talks about the truth, it becomes politically motivated. What can we do about it?," Mithun added. Adding to the troubles, on Monday, a new FIR has been registered against director Vivek Agnihotri on charges of 'wrongfully" describing freedom fighter Gopal Mukherjee a.k.a Gopal Patha 'as a butcher", in 'The Bengal Files". Gopal Mukherjee's grandson, Santana Mukherjee, who has registered the fresh FIR, alleged that the makers have taken exception to portraying his grandfather in the movie without prior permission from the family. 'Secondly, we take strong objection to describing our grandfather as 'a butcher' in the movie. Besides being a part of the freedom-fighters' group, 'Anushilon Samity', my grandfather owned two goat-meat shops. He was a wrestler. He took to arms to protect people from the communal violence unleashed by the Muslim League in Kolkata in 1946," Santana shared. The Bengal Files will hit theatres on September 5, 2025.
