Abhishek Bachchan is getting a lot of love for his recent release 'Kaalidhar Laapata' which released on OTT. Priya Yadav who played Gudiya, his sister in the film also got a lot of appreciation for her heartwarming character. In a recent interview, she opened up about her experience of working with him. For those not in the know, Priya was also seen in 'The Railway Men'. Talking about working with Abhishek, Priya said during a chat with News 18 Showsha, 'Abhishek sir was incredibly warm and respectful right from the beginning. He made sure I felt comfortable on set and treated every scene, no matter how small, with sincerity." Recalling a moment which made a huge impact on her, during the making, Priya said, "There was a close-up scene of mine, and even though he wasn't in the frame, he stayed back just to give me cues. That rarely happens. He even called me personally to ask if I wanted another take, just to make sure I was happy." The actress also had a similar experience with Kay Kay Menon . She said, 'KK Menon sir waited almost half an hour just to give one look in my close-up shot, even though he wasn't going to be seen. I feel really lucky to have worked with such grounded, generous actors — it teaches you so much, not just about acting, but about being a better co-actor." She also opened up on her character and said, 'So many people wrote to me saying Gudiya reminded them of a silent sister, a daughter who never complains, someone holding the family together. I think people aren't used to seeing such simplicity anymore — and that's exactly what made Gudiya feel so real.'

Another Naag-Naagin Tale: UP Woman Kills Two Snakes After One Follows Husband To His Bed
Last Updated: Hours later, the family returned home from the hospital to find a second snake—likely female—beside the dead one. Fearing another attack, the wife acted swiftly and killed it In a dramatic turn of events that mirrors scenes from a Bollywood thriller, a bizarre tale of snake revenge has emerged from Alinagar Kenjra village in Uttar Pradesh's Firozabad district. On Sunday, Shivam Nishad, son of Mahesh Nishad, accidentally stepped on a snake while working in the fields. Terrified, he rushed home. Villagers claim the snake followed him, entered his house, climbed onto his bed, and bit him thrice on his hand and leg. His wife, Gudiya killed the snake and rushed him to the nearest hospital as his condition quickly worsened. Hours later, when the family returned home, they were stunned to find a second snake—believed to be a female—curled up beside the dead one. Acting swiftly, Gudiya killed it, fearing another attack. She later said she wanted to ensure her husband's safety. However, Nishad's condition deteriorated again, and he was transferred to SN Medical College in Agra. The family even brought a photo of the snake to assist the doctors in providing accurate treatment. The sighting of the second snake has fueled speculation among locals, many of whom believe it was a case of revenge—echoing the mythical ' Naag-Nagin ' folklore often depicted in Indian films. The unusual sequence of events has left the village gripped with fear and fascination.

Uncles came home to meet 9-year-old's father and drank. Then they raped her
Noida: "I just sit in one place all day." Whether it's about herself, her family, her school, or how she spends her days, nine-year-old Manju (name changed) says little. When we met her on Friday morning, she was running a temperature and had to leave soon to record her statement before the Child Welfare Commission (CWC). If it was a rare morning when she had both her parents by her side, her vacant expression betrayed nothing, her hands firmly clasped. Do you have friends, we ask her. "No," comes the reply. Do you like chocolates? "No." How about ice cream? "No." Her manner began to change soon after school closed for summer vacations on May 15. Both parents were at hand but neither noticed the girl withdrawing into a shell. Every other afternoon, the house – a small servant's quarter of a bungalow of a township in central Noida – had guests. Three of them, her father's friends. They would sit with him and drink. Her father would drink the most, till he passed out. But the friends wouldn't leave when he did. They would, instead, walk up to her next. One day, a packet of chips, another day, chocolates. When they called her "Gudiya", it would make her freeze. The touch would make her recoil. For a month, the three men sexually assaulted her. She could not confide in her alcoholic, ill-tempered father. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Laxmi Ji Idol For Wealth, Peace & Happiness Luxeartisanship Shop Now Undo Her mother was not available – busy with her other family, after she divorced and married again, though a court had ordered she would stay with her. The horrifying sexual exploitation the girl she went through would reveal itself when a doctor examined her on June 17 and asked some questions. She had fallen ill and had high fever. Her father had taken her to the district hospital in Sector 30. "When the doctor asked her if she was feeling any pain during the examination, she pointed to her chest and groin. When the doctor prodded a little further, the child revealed what happened. She said 'three uncles' had stripped and assaulted her repeatedly for nearly a month," a medical staffer at the hospital told TOI. During an examination that followed, no external injuries were found, sources said. "We informed her father and asked him to report the matter to the police," a hospital employee said. "But he began arguing with us. So, we called the police." Police took a statement from her father, and an FIR was filed on June 18. The three men identified by the girl, a security guard, a driver and a man who irons clothes, were arrested. On Friday, as Manju was produced before CWC, she was unable to give a statement. Dr KC Virmani, chairperson of CWC, told TOI, "The child was silent and is displaying signs of trauma. She has been sent to a childcare institute for the time being. She will stay there till it can be assessed that her family environment is safe for her. We have also ordered that her statement should be recorded at the magisterial court on Monday. We will be holding multiple sessions of counselling with the child to speak to her till she feels comfortable to share what happened to her. She will also be sent to a govt hospital for psycho-analysis in line with procedures for safety of children." One of police investigators in the case told TOI the girl's sudden illness was a blessing in disguise. "This case might not have come to light had she not fallen ill and the accused would have continued to exploit her," the officer said. Based on the father's complaint, a case under sections 137(2) (kidnapping) and 75 (sexual harassment) of BNS, along with relevant sections of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act was registered at Sector 20 police station. After the medical exam, rape charges were added to the FIR. "Over the last month, the three accused took turns on different occasions and raped her," a police officer said.
