Actor Khushbu Sundar returns to small screen with Sarojini
Actor-politician Khushbu Sundar has made a comeback to the Tamil small screen after some years. This time doing the lead role in Sarojini, which airs on DD Tamil at 9.05 p.m. daily.
Ms. Khushbu, an active politician of the Bharatiya Janata Party, was last seen in the Tamil serial Meera that was broadcast on Colors TV in 2022. She had debuted as the writer of the serial then. Though actively engaged in silver screen, she had taken a brief hiatus from daily soaps. Her return to television through Sarojini is garnering attention from fans and critics, particularly when the channel is celebrating its golden jubilee year.
A glimpse into the plot
She recently took to social media to share her new venture and gave a glimpse into the plot. In her post, Ms. Khushbu noted that it was 'a story of every woman who defies the rulebook made to suppress her growth'. The promos too highlight a compelling narrative centred around a resilient woman who deals with personal and societal battles.
Television is not a new forte for Ms. Khushbu, who has hosted memorable game shows like Jackpot, been part of the jury in reality shows in various languages, and played pivotal characters in daily serials.
Actor Niyaz, who has paired with Ms. Khushbu for the serial, describes sharing the screen space with her as special. Television buffs who miss night episodes may catch up with the repeat telecast the next morning, at 11.30 a.m.
Fresh flavours
Cook with Comali Season 6, the much-loved reality show that combined cooking and humour, is back to enthral audiences on Vijay TV, with fresh contestants and a new judge. Chef Koushik Shankar, popularly known as 'Mad Chef', who was previously part of the jury in the Master Chef India-Tamil Seasons 1 and 2 that premiered in Sun TV, has joined the show. His arrival has raised expectations of fans with promises of sharp critiques, creative gourmet flair, and elevated culinary standards.
He has joined the jury that includes Padma Shri awardee Chef Damu and Madhampatty Rangaraj.
The show, which is being telecast from May 4, would have celebrity cooks paired with comedians to add a layer of humour to the culinary competition.
Besides seasoned television comedians such as Pugazh, Ramar, Sharath, and Sunitha, this season has new 'comalis', including 'Big Boss' fame Soundarya. The fresh batch of celebrity cooks who are ready to stir up the kitchen include actors Lakshmy Ramakrishnan, Priya Raman, Madhumitha, Raju Mohan, and television actor Shabana Shajahan. With its tag line, 'New school, new rules', the new season promises to bring a platter filled with a perfect blend of comedy and culinary magic.

Chennai Book Park sees a steady stream of crowd on Day 1
Status: cleared Chennai: Those entering the Central Metro station now have one-stop access to books from prominent publishers, spanning from Higginbothams to Katha, at the Chennai Book Park, opened by Chief Minister M K Stalin on Tuesday. An initiative of the School Education Department to kindle a reading habit among the public, the book park saw a steady stream of visitors on the first day. Nestled between a pharmacy and an eatery, en route to the ticket counter, one would rarely miss the park. Decked up with flowers and carpets, over 4,300 titles from over 13 publishers were on display. Among these, 84 titles were released on Tuesday. Most of the stalls belonged to the Tamil Nadu Text Book and Educational Services Corporation (TNTESC), which manages the functioning of the park. Nakkheeran, Shanti, and Coral were among the prominent publishers who set up stalls. Schoolbooks, guides, and books for competitive exams, mostly Tamil, were available. The cost of books ranged from ₹50 to ₹3,500. The CMRL is yet to fix signage for the park at entries and exits. TNTESC superintendent G Balaji said the park will be open from 9 am to 9 pm. "The schedule on weekend timings will be finalised in a couple of days. At least three staff, including security personnel, will man the premises," he said. Chezhian Kumarasamy, Executive Director of an advertising firm, said it was good to see people at a book park in a digital age where mobile phones call the shots. "I wish more such parks would be opened in places such as airports and MRTS stations," he said. Some, like law student L Lakshmi, who walked in thinking there would be a lot of autobiographies and non-fiction Tamil books, said she was surprised to find English books on self-help. Publication managers, however, aren't too optimistic about sales. "I don't know how many people will walk in. They are in a hurry to board trains," said Sivakumar, manager of one of the publications. By 8:50 pm, the facility registered a sale of about ₹35,000. The stalls have tied up with the TNTESC on a revenue-sharing model, said Katha Books CEO Ravin Carr. "Between 25% and 40% of the sale cost (depending on the size of the stalls) will be shared with the govt," he said. At the event, the Chief Minister also inaugurated 110 library buildings built across all districts at a cost of ₹29.80 crore and 70 special libraries at bus stands, hospitals, and district collectorates.
