After Tenali Rama, Priyamvada Kant to play Pedwali in Gharwali Pedwali
Soon after wrapping up the shoot for Tenali Rama, in which she reprised the role of Sharada, the wife of Tenali Rama,
Priyamvada Kant
has bagged a new project. The actress has been roped in to play the lead role of Pedwali opposite
Paras Arora
in Gharwali Pedwali.
The show offers her an entirely new canvas to explore a vibrant, comedic yet emotional character in a family comedy with a supernatural twist.
Priyamvada confirms, 'I'm happy to be playing the protagonist in Gharwali Pedwali. The character of Pedwali is unlike anything I've done before. She's quirky, endearing and a really fun character. I fell in love with her the moment I read the script. I can't wait for the audience to meet her.'
Known for pushing boundaries and experimenting with different mediums, Priyamvada ventured into theatre last year with the teleplay Peechha Karti Parchhaiyaan, which also featured Ila Arun and Param Singh.
Reflecting on her transition to stage during a previous conversation, she had shared, 'I've been doing television for quite some time. It's my comfort zone and I absolutely love it. But of course, we need a break in between to do something exciting.

I had been wanting to do a play for a while. I am a trained classical dancer and have been on stage all my life, so my first interaction with any performative art was on stage.'
She continued, 'I really missed being on stage and had been wanting to do theatre in Bombay for a very long time. But I wasn't getting the right opportunity or the right people to work with. Also, it's nearly impossible to manage theatre alongside television. When I got to know Ila Ma'am was casting for the play, I went and met her. I've been a huge fan of hers. She asked me to read a few lines and liked my pitch in Hindi. That's how I landed the role.
It's actually my first play ever.'

'Elite idiot': Tom Brady called out by Jason Whitlock after telling Scottie Scheffler to prioritize career over family
(Image credits: IG/X) Tom Brady may be the undisputed GOAT on the football field, but when it comes to giving life advice? Let's just say the Internet isn't handing him a trophy. The seven-time Super Bowl champ recently offered some unsolicited wisdom to golf star Scottie Scheffler and it seriously backfired. In a now-viral moment, conservative sports commentator Jason Whitlock absolutely torched Brady's remarks, calling them 'elite idiocy' and suggesting Brady's the last guy who should be preaching about family values. Tom Brady tells Scottie Scheffler to prioritize greatness but fans think he missed the mark completely This all started with Scheffler humbly saying that if golf ever interfered with being a good husband or dad, he'd walk away from the game. Enter Brady, who interpreted that as a little too soft and tried to coach him into chasing greatness instead. Big mistake. Because fans and analysts alike weren't buying what Brady was selling. On his 'Change the Game' newsletter, Brady decided to drop a take about Scheffler's viral family-first remarks. The quarterback praised the golfer's humility but pushed back on the idea of quitting for family, saying: 'If you want to be great at anything, there's a cost. There sure is a cost to winning and being your best.' He followed it up with a line about how pursuing greatness is also how you provide for your family. But this Brady-branded wisdom didn't exactly land the way he hoped, especially given his very public divorce from Gisele Bündchen, which was allegedly sparked by him un-retiring from football. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like I thought my dad was 'boring'.

On his YouTube, the outspoken host unleashed a savage takedown of Brady's statement. On his Fearless podcast, Jason Whitlock ripped into Brady's advice to Scottie Scheffler, calling it out as hypocritical and lacking in self-awareness. He argued that Scheffler's faith-first approach makes him a better role model than Brady, who once prioritized greatness over family. Fans praise Scheffler's values as Brady gets dragged for preaching success at all costs Social media quickly picked sides and Scheffler became the fan favorite. Many praised the golfer's humility, saying it was refreshing to see a top athlete openly prioritize marriage and fatherhood over fame and legacy. Fans praise Scheffler's values as Brady gets dragged for preaching success at all costs Meanwhile, Brady got dragged. Critics said he should've just sat this one out, especially considering how his 'greatness above all' mindset may have cost him a marriage. Some even said he's still out of touch with where culture is heading where emotional intelligence, values, and faith are increasingly part of the conversation around masculinity. Tom Brady may have meant well, but his attempt to mentor Scottie Scheffler turned into a viral misstep. Fans aren't canceling the GOAT, but they're making it clear: today's athletes are rewriting what greatness really looks like and it doesn't always come with a ring. FAQs: Q1: What advice did Tom Brady give to Scottie Scheffler? Brady told Scheffler that chasing greatness often comes with personal sacrifice and suggested not to abandon career success in favor of family balance. Q2: What did Scottie Scheffler originally say? Scheffler said in an interview that if golf ever interfered with his ability to be a good husband or father, he would walk away from the sport without hesitation. Q3: How did fans react to the debate? Fans overwhelmingly supported Scheffler and criticized Brady for being out of touch. Many praised Scheffler for prioritizing faith and family.

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 Update: Tulsi leaves anniversary party to rescue Angad as he gets arrested by cops; Pari reveals about her affair to Tulsi
The latest episode of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 started with the Viranis getting ready for Tulsi-Mihir's 38th anniversary celebration. The second episode begins with Mihir walking down the stairs of Shanti Niketan, all decked up for the party and his kids praise him for looking fit even at this age. He gives all the credit to his wife, while on the other hand, Tulsi tries hard to fit into her old outfits, but is unable to do it. She talks to herself that she has put on weight which is why none of her clothes are fitting her. Tulsi's daughter Pari body-shames her and also makes her realise that she doesn't take care of herself and that she should learn from her father Mihir. She advises her to care less about others and look after herself. Tulsi requests Pari to wear a saree on the special occasion. Initially, she refuses but she later gives in. Pari rushes out of the room as her boyfriend starts calling her and she gets scared of getting caught by her mother Tulsi. While she is talking with her boyfriend outside the room, she comes face-to-face with Tulsi but she manages to cover up. Trying to make the best of the situation, Tulsi chooses to wear an old saree for the party. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like For all your EV needs ScottishPower Learn More Undo Rather than criticising her appearance or making her feel uncomfortable, Mihir uplifts her with kind words and support. However, the evening takes a sour turn when Gayatri Chachi's friend makes a harsh comment about Tulsi's weight, implying she doesn't fit the image of Mihir's 'ideal' partner. Tulsi accidentally hears the remark, and though deeply hurt, she composes herself, holds back her tears, and bravely steps into the celebration. As they are about to start the celebration and cake cutting, all the family members realise that Angad is missing and they decide to wait for him. Tulsi gets a call from Angad and he requests her to reach a location as he has got into trouble. Tulsi makes an excuse and lies with the family that Angad's car has broken down and she is going to get him. Upon reaching the location, Tulsi realises Angad is in the police station and is reprimanded by the cops. Tusli approaches the cops and tries to understand the situation. They get arrested due to a car accident. Angad tells the police he wasn't driving under the influence of alcohol. One of the officers explains that a blood test is required and then lets Angad leave. Before heading home, Angad asks Tulsi not to tell Mihir about what happened at the police station. Tulsi feels like he's hiding something. As soon as they reach home, a junior officer updates his senior about a serious accident — but it's unclear if Angad is connected to it. During the party, Mihir gets happy seeing a business partner and his family arriving at the party. He informs Tulsi that he is planning to get their daughter married to his business partner's son. Tulsi stops him and asks him to discuss with their daughter first. Pari overhears the conversation and leaves the party. She heads straight into her room as Tulsi approaches her. She gets mad at Tulsi and blames her for the entire situation. Gayatri Chachi attempts to step in, but Tulsi handles the situation calmly. In a moment of frustration, Pari reveals that she's dating someone who doesn't meet the family's expectations. When Tulsi questions her further, Pari chooses not to share any more. She simply asks Tulsi if she'll stand by her. The episode ends on a suspenseful note.
