Last Updated: Reem Shaikh opened up about her experience on Laughter Chefs Season 2, her co-contestants and even shared her thoughts about Bigg Boss. Reem Shaikh has become one of the rising stars in the television industry. Starting her journey as a child artist, she has grown into a well-recognised name on Indian TV. Reem is currently entertaining audiences on Laughter Chefs Season 2, a celebrity cooking reality show where popular faces from television come together for fun-filled kitchen challenges and light-hearted moments. Recently, she appeared on the Bharti TV podcast hosted by Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa, where the actress opened up about her experience on the show, her co-contestants and even shared her thoughts about Bigg Boss. While chatting with Bharti and Haarsh, the topic of Bigg Boss came up especially the recent buzz that the show might not return for a new season. Sharing her views, Reem said, 'I've heard Bigg Boss isn't coming back. Right? No Bigg Boss feels strange, right? It's like there used to be a house with four rooms, and now two are empty. Although, honestly, we only used to watch it when we or someone we knew was on the show. I've watched it since childhood. I used to enjoy it. But once you're inside the show, once you get to understand a character, then you start wondering what they'll do next." 'I used to genuinely enjoy Bigg Boss as an audience member. But in the last 2-3 years, I don't know what happened," she added. After Reem shared her thoughts, Bharti playfully reminded her that most of the contestants from the last 2–3 years of Bigg Boss are now working with them on Laughter Chefs. This made everyone laugh and Reem responded with a joke, saying, 'No Abhishek was hurt" referring to her co-contestant Abhishek Kumar. This led to a fun discussion about Abhishek Kumar and Samarth Jurel who are known for their cheerful nature on the sets. Bharti and Haarsh talked about how both of them openly compliment the girls without any hesitation. Reem agreed with them and shared that Abhishek often compliments her directly. She further jokingly said, 'Aur itna besharam hai, abhi mujhe muh pe bol raha hoga, baad mein Nia ko same cheez jaake bolega (And he is so shameless, he'll compliment me now and later say the same thing to Nia)." She even mentioned that she once asked Abhishek whether he ever feels awkward about complimenting so many people. Then, Haarsh jokingly suggested that Abhishek should give compliments to one person at a time and take a little break in between. Everyone had a good laugh, and Bharti added that both Abhishek and Samarth are very cute. Talking about Laughter Chefs, Reem also revealed how much the show means to her. She said that even when she is going through something emotional, being on the set feels like a 'therapy." First Published: June 02, 2025, 11:50 IST

Hasirotsav celebrates natural living and traditional crafts
Davanagere: Children were thrilled to see the live manufacturing of pots, glasses, and bowls made of soil. Elders were amazed to taste biscuits made without maida flour, and senior citizens relished sugarless cupcakes. Women were enthusiastic about consuming eateries without frying in refined oil and cosmetics made from natural ingredients. Yes, such happenings were seen at Hasirotsav, organised by the Aikanthika community at Srinivas Nagara Halli on the outskirts of Davanagere on Sunday. Organisers Raghav, Abhishek, Santosh Koragi, Rangarajan, Sandeep and others told TOI that the event aimed to highlight natural lifestyles with awareness of indigenous seeds, packaged foods, chemical preservatives, cosmetics free from chemicals, poison-free utensils, etc. Shashikala Srinivas, a social worker from Harihar, said they learned about a couple of interesting organic varieties. "Eateries selling healthy food, manufacturing of mud utensils and weaving of cotton cloths sensitised us. As we use plastic right from toothpaste to sleeping at night, we learned here how to avoid plastic in our routine life. We were unaware that aluminium utensils cause health hazards and that mud utensils protect us from ailments. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo The event also inspired us to grow organic vegetables on our terrace or garden. Such events are needed in all cities to put a break on adulteration, which is common in every commodity today," she said. Gundappanavar Laxmanamurthy, who came all the way from Kundurpi village in Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh, along with his family, said he hails from drought-prone districts and cultivates 15 acres of ancestral land. "I met many natural farming experts here and learned cultivation without fertilisers and pesticides. Experts motivated us not to remove weeds from our fields," he said. Geetha Teggihal, an excise Inspector from Navalgund, said the society has forgotten the heritage in the name of modernisation. "We drank well water here after years. Organisers insisted we remove footwear to enter the farm and explained why. It was a unique experience and exposure to nature," she said. Activities like walking, horticulture visits, alternative treatments, and demos on home schooling were performed while cooking experts demonstrated healthy food items.

Man Held In Shimla On Charges Of Espionage, Was Providing Key Information To Enemy
Last Updated: The man has been accused of allegedly spying and providing confidential information related to the army and the country with Pakistan or some other country The Indian Army's Intelligence Unit has apprehended a man on charges of espionage in Shimla on Friday. The suspect was held by Army near Shimla's Army Training Command (ARTRAC) on Friday. The army took him to different places and interrogated him. After taking the suspect into custody, the army took him to different places and interrogated him. After interrogation, the army handed him over to the police. However, his identity has not been revealed yet. The man has been accused of allegedly spying and providing confidential information related to the army and the country with Pakistan or some other country. However, concrete evidence is still being collected against the suspect. According to sources, the suspect was staying in a hotel in the Himachal capital since May 28. He was allegedly asking the local people about the army. Sources further revealed that the suspect is a native of Uttar Pradesh's Noida and hold a US citizenship. During the interrogation, the suspect revealed that he works in a private company. He also told that his father was a colonel in the field military, sources added. He also told that has traveled to 64 countries including Pakistan in 2005 and China in 2008. SP Shimla confirmed the arrest and said that the army has handed over the youth and he is being interrogated. Earlier this week, Kangra Police arrested a 20-year-old youth on suspicion of espionage following a tip-off. The suspect, identified as Abhishek, a native of Dehra, was held just three kilometres away from Shri Mata Chintpurni Temple on Una-Kangra districts border. The development comes as a series of revelations regarding Pakistani spy networks in India. Several Indians were arrested for allegedly spying for Pakistan including a CRPF personnel Moti Ram Jat from Rajasthan, a contractual health worker Sahdevsinh Gohil posted in the border district of Kutch, a YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra from Haryana who has several lakhs of subscribers. She was arrested in Haryana this month. She had travelled to Pakistan a number of times. Additionally, a Rajasthan government employee was detained in Jaisalmer on suspicion of espionage for Pakistan with sources saying he worked as an assistant to former Congress minister Shale Mohammad. Shakur Khan, who works in the district employment office, was found to have phone numbers associated with Pakistan stored on his device, an official said. Prior to this month's conflict, Pakistanis and Indians were able to travel to each other's countries, but it has long been very difficult to obtain visas due to government bureaucracy and historical mistrust. The relations between India and Pakistan hit rock bottom after the neighbouring country resorted to a terror attack in Kashmir's iconic Pahalgam, killing 26 innocent tourists on April 22. In response, India, on the intervening night of May 7 and 8, launched 'Operation Sindoor' against Pakistan and destroyed multiple terror targets there.
