Exclusive- Mohammedsaud Mansuri on playing Biscuit in Uff Yeh Love Hai Mushkil: He's emotionally mature but struggles to express himself clearly
Actor Mohammedsaud Mansuri is currently seen in the show, Uff Yeh Love Hai Mushkil. He plays Biscuit, the younger brother of the female protagonist Kairi, essayed by . The actor got candid about his character in the show as he spoke exclusively to Times Of India TV: How do you feel this role is different from the ones you've played before? I've never played a character who's a mathematics genius and also street smart—a geek, yet streetwise. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He's emotionally mature but struggles to express himself clearly. This contrast, yet the realistic nature of the character, is something completely new to me, and that's what makes it so fun to play. What excites you about this role? As I mentioned, the contradictory layers of the character really excite me. I've met people like this in real life. This might be my shot at portraying a multi-layered personality on screen. Being into fitness, how do you manage time between studies, shoots, and workouts? It definitely affects your schedule, but you have to find time—either before or after shoots. I don't strictly follow a gym routine. I prefer cycling, swimming, jogging, and weightlifting. When I have late call times or an off day, I make the most of it. Saud was last seen in the mythological series Shrimad Ramayan.. he also appeared in TV shows like Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah', Pushpa Impossible, Meri Durga, Mast Mauli, Kumkum Bhagya, and Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. He has also featured in popular Bollywood movies like Azhar, and Golmaal Again, among others.

Washington's Esme Morgan on visiting the White House, England and adopting a kitten
Life in Washington DC is treating Esme Morgan very well indeed. Not only has she discovered some of the best form of her career, but she has sneaked into the White House correspondents dinner as a guest and adopted a kitten called Biscuit. Morgan will now be hoping to enjoy the sweet taste of success with England and the Washington Spirit defender believes the American NWSL's summer calendar can help her arrive at July's European Championship in Switzerland in peak fitness because of the schedule, compared to going to a major tournament during what is – for Europe-based participants – the off-season. 'The calendar running from March to November was something that I looked at as a real positive of coming to this league, in terms of setting you up for being able to sort of peak for international tournaments,' Morgan says. 'I think that's part of the reason the US have historically had so much success in the international windows because a lot of the European teams, the majority of their players, are obviously either at the end of a very long season or really at the start of pre-season so that can be quite difficult. So I feel like it's a really positive thing that – if selected – myself and other players playing over here would be in the midst of playing high-level, competitive football and in that rhythm and hopefully feeling really sharp.' Morgan is preparing for England's Women's Nations League meeting with Portugal at Wembley on Friday but, speaking after Washington Spirit's 3-2 win at Chicago Stars and before their 2-1 away victory against Seattle Reign, adds: 'I feel in really good form, to be honest. Coming back in to pre-season, I felt fit and strong. I'd worked hard over Christmas back in the UK to kind of get into good shape, so I just felt really sharp and confident. And like a lot of the things that I worked on last season while I was still adjusting to the league and the types of opposition we play, over the off-season, I've kind of been able to consolidate and heavily focus each training session on specific things that I want to work on.' Morgan's side – who were runners-up in the NWSL playoffs last November, five months after her switch from Manchester City – are enjoying a strong start in 2025, sitting fourth in the table after 10 games, eight of which Morgan has started. She says: 'I feel comfortable and confident on the pitch now that I know all my teammates a lot better and the style of playing the league, I feel like you've got a lot less time on the ball here than you do at home and the strikers are slightly different in terms of the threats that they offer, so getting used to that and the challenges that they pose and working on the things that I wanted to I feel has helped me this season.' The 24-year-old from Sheffield hails her new coach, the former Barcelona coach Jonatan Giráldez, as 'super detailed', and also describes the NWSL as 'super intense and competitive'. Morgan says: 'Really, the gap between the teams at the top and those at the bottom is minuscule. Any one on any given day can take points off another team. Everyone here is so fast and athletic and it is more transitional than the WSL. When I played at City often when we'd play teams who'd just kind of low block and sit back and hope to just frustrate and then hit on the counter attack – whereas here it's very rare that teams low block, which is probably why you see some of the crazy scorelines and endings to games that you do.' Morgan starred in one such game at the start of May, a dramatic 4-3 loss at home to Angel City in which she scored twice, her first competitive goals in four years. What spurred on such rare attacking prowess? Biscuit. The match was designated as Washington Spirit's 'Pitchside Pups' game, where the club encourage the adoption of animals by raising awareness for a local shelter. Fans were also allowed to bring their dogs and cats to the match. 'I just fell in love with this little kitten,' Morgan says with adoring eyes. 'She's so cute. She was at the game before the Angel City game, so I got to see her and cuddle her. And people keep saying that's why I scored two goals, because I had the power of Biscuit with me!' Sign up to Moving the Goalposts No topic is too small or too big for us to cover as we deliver a twice-weekly roundup of the wonderful world of women's football after newsletter promotion The England international with 12 caps also had a sneak peak behind the corridors of power in the USA when she was invited – by a Lionesses fan who works for Bloomberg – to attend April's White House correspondents dinner, which she described as a 'fantastic evening' even if feeling like she was in another world. She met several ambassadors and diplomats, including a counsel from the British Consulate General in New York, and recalls: 'My brother and I kept just looking at each other like what on Earth are we doing here with all these amazing people? It was just so much fun to be able to pick people's brains and understand more about such a different industry.' This week, it's back to more familiar surroundings with England, but when she flies home after Tuesday's meeting with Spain her kitten will be ready to move in with her.

Popular fast food chain offers FREE sweet American product to customers – but you'll have to be quick
A POPULAR fast food chain is giving out one of their much-loved sweet treats for free to customers around the UK. American fried chicken brand, Popeyes, is hoping to clear up the confusion around this menu item for its British customers through this offer. 4 Popeyes UK is giving away 10,000 of its US-style Biscuit and Hot Honey for free in the lead up to National Biscuit Day on Thursday May 29. This is the perfect opportunity for Brits to try the American delicacy that has been around since the 1800s, but you have to get in quick. It comes as new research revealed 94% of the nation have claimed to love biscuits, with two-in-five saying they would rather give up social media than this iconic sweet treat. However, two-thirds do not actually know what the US-style biscuit is. Most think it is a scone that should be served with cream. The Popeyes Biscuit has been considered a heritage menu item for the fast-food chain since it first opened in 1972. Their item is actually commonly served as a side with fried chicken, likened to a British scone with its fluffy and buttery texture. However, the US-style biscuit has a buttermilk base, making it lighter with a creamier consistency. On top of that, as a traditional Southern side to fried chicken, it is often served with Cajun Gravy, or can be enjoyed with sweet toppings like hot honey or Nutella for breakfast. Inside Popeye's first UK restaurant as we try the menu – and the fried chicken is better than KFC Head of Food at Popeyes UK, Dave Hoskins, said: "At first glance, they do look very similar to the traditional scone, so it's no surprise fans this side of the pond often ask about them. "However, the Biscuit was one of our most requested items when we first announced we were coming to the UK. "So what better time than National Biscuit Day to clear up the confusion and give Brits the chance to taste the difference for themselves, with thousands of Biscuits up for grabs.' Rather than being crumbly and sweet, the Popeyes Biscuit is buttery and savoury. But you can give it a try for yourself for free by downloading and registering in The Popeyes UK app by National Biscuit Day to be in the chance to try it for free. You just have to have registered an account by midnight on May 28 to be entered, and there is only one entry per person. It is also available to order for £1.79 all day, via the app, delivery or at over 65 Popeyes restaurants around the country. This comes as Popeyes has started to expand in the UK, with 45 restaurants announced to open this year. It first came across the point in 2021 with a site in Stratford, but now has several dine-in restaurants, drive-thrus and delivery kithcens. 4

Masters food, ranked: The 8 best items you can eat at Augusta in 2025
There are so many traditions at the Masters to take in -- players skipping the ball across on No. 16 during practice rounds, the families all having a blast at the Par 3 Tournament and the merch. Soooo much merch (the gnomes!). But we're here to talk about the food, which is priced so low that you could buy it all and not break the bank. If you're at Augusta and you want to scarf some of it but not all of it? I'm here to help, but full disclosure: I haven't won the Masters ticket lottery to try it all on site. I'm ranking this by pouring over reviews, looking at photos and asking some folks who have actually set foot in Augusta. Let's rank all the best food you can stomach at Augusta National as we get ready for another Masters: The Chicken Biscuit! Insane deal at $2.00. Sometimes a little dry, as biscuits are sometimes, they are awesome. Add some mustard! Delicious!8.5/10 — Rick Golfs (@Top100Rick) April 8, 2025 Fried chicken in the middle of a biscuit ... for breakfast? It's weird but I'm in. It's new! But it sounds delicious! So it's getting ranked. The Georgia Pecan Caramel Popcorn is $1.50 and awesome! Really simple and delicious, the pecans are scarce but add some substance. Perfectly sized. Get two packs!8.6/10 — Rick Golfs (@Top100Rick) April 8, 2025 Full disclosure: I'm allergic to tree nuts, so I can't eat it. But I have heard it's good. Bar-B-Que Sandwich. For $3.00, this is the best deal. Chopped pork smothered in bbq sauce. These did sell out one day, so get 'em early! 8.7/10 — Rick Golfs (@Top100Rick) April 8, 2025 Divisive. Heard mixed things. But at that price, it feels like it's a solid buy. Let's start with The Breakfast Sandwich! Bargain price of $3.00. Fried egg, sausage patty, bacon, and cheese! All on a soft bun. Awesome sandwich. 8.3/10 — Rick Golfs (@Top100Rick) April 8, 2025 Pork products, eggs and cheese. What's not to like? I don't need to tell you how good that sounds. There are those who argue this is better than No. 1. JUST IN: For the 23rd consecutive year, the Pimento Cheese sandwich at the Masters will cost $1.50. The last price change was in 2002 when it went from $1.25 to $ 1997, it was $1. Factoring for inflation, the sandwich today is 50 cents CHEAPER today. — Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) April 1, 2025 The undisputed king.
