EXCLUSIVE: Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi fame Narayani Shastri to play antagonist in Noyontara, spills beans on Bigg Boss 19
Narayani Shastri, who has been a part of numerous shows including Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, will soon be seen in an upcoming supernatural thriller drama, Noyontara. Noyontara promises to mesmerize audiences like never before. Narayani will be seen playing dual roles in the show, one of a protagonist and one antagonist. In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, the actress spoke in detail about her upcoming show, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi revamp and even disclosed being approached for Bigg Boss. Excerpts from the interview are below: 1- You've been in the industry for over 25 years. Which show was the turning point in your career? For me, Piya Ka Ghar was a big turning point because it gave me strong visibility. But many people feel it was Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi that made me truly popular. That show was loved by everyone and became a huge success. Both shows helped me grow as an actor. But now my all focus is on Noyontara, my upcoming show. 2- Ektaa Kapoor is bringing back Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Since you were part of the original, how do you feel about this? It was one of the biggest shows ever on Indian TV. It changed everything when it came out. If it's coming back, I'm sure Ekta (Ektaa Kapoor) will make it just as grand and interesting. She's a genius when it comes to storytelling. I feel proud to have been part of the original and excited to see the new version. 3- There's a buzz around Bigg Boss 19. Have you been approached for it? Would you say yes? Yes, I have been approached before. But I have mixed feelings. I'm not sure if I would be comfortable in the Bigg Boss house. It's a different kind of show — very intense. As for me, I'll decide if the time and situation are right. 4- In Noyontara, you are seen playing two characters (twins) - the male protagonist's mother and the antagonist. What is easier for you to play and why? Playing both roles has been smooth for me, but I enjoy the wicked one more. She's unpredictable and exciting. It's fun to play someone who's so different from how we are in real life. The mother is more emotional and loving, but the wicked character lets me try new expressions, strong reactions, and even dark humor. That's always more fun for an actor. Her anger and how she plans things to hurt others are the most negative parts. She reacts very strongly, and sometimes even cruelly. It's tough to show such strong emotions in a way that feels real. But as an actor, I enjoy taking on these challenges. It lets me show a side that is dramatic and intense. 5- What should audiences look out for when they watch the show? Viewers should watch Noyantara for pure entertainment. There's drama, mystery, emotion, and lots of twists. It's full of surprises and powerful scenes. You won't get bored. It's made to keep you hooked and give you something exciting every day. Speaking about Noyontara, the supernatural show will premiere on June 9 at 8:30 PM.

In the world of entertainment, some actors win hearts every time they portray a different role whereas others manage to make a permanent place in hearts with just one iconic character. Disha Vakani falls in the second category. The actor played the role of Daya Jethalal Gada aka Dayaben in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, one of the longest running shows on Indian TV, for over a decade. When she left the show, it broke hearts. But till date, Daya continues to be one of the most iconic characters that we have ever witnessed in an Indian sitcom. So when an old music video of Disha in a bikini top surfaced online, TMKOC fans were obviously shook. A post shared by Disha Vakani🔵 (@dishavakani_official17) Disha Vakani aka Daya Jethalal Gada, wife of Jethalal Champaklal Gada played by Dilip Joshi, won hearts every time she broke into Garba as a proud Gujarati on the show. So netizens were obviously in for a shock when they came across an old video of the actor, where she can be seen dancing in a shimmery purple bikini top paired with a matching mini skirt. In this viral music video reportedly titled Bhingri Ga Bhingri that Disha did in the beginning of her acting career, our beloved Dayaben and a group of girls can be seen dancing with boys. But the twist arrives in the end when the boys take off their t-shirts, and Disha and her friends replicate the action with their bikini tops. In the comment section below, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah fans are now going gaga, sharing hilarious GIFs of Daya's onscreen husband Jethalal and her father-in-law Champaklal Jayantilal Gada. Apart from these funny GIFs are comments which will leave you in splits. For instance, one comment read, 'Yhi se garba ki shuruaat hui 😂,' whereas another wrote, 'Jbhi jethalal kbhi ahmdabad jaane nahi deta😂.' Another netizen stated, 'Iske baad to.. Tappu k papa Babita ko bhul jaenge 😂😂,' whereas another comment read, 'Daya Ki School Life Before 7 Class 😂😂.' We wonder how Jetha would react to this old video featuring Daya. Any guesses?
