Exclusive - Vaidehi Nair on quitting Jaadu Teri Nazar; says ‘There was nothing left for me to do in the show'
Actress Vaidehi Nair has officially confirmed her exit from the TV show Jaadu Teri Nazar, where she played the character of Sandhya. In an exclusive interview with Times of India TV, the young actress opened up about the reasons behind her decision to quit the show, citing lack of character development as the key factor. 'The reason I left the show was because the character that was told to me never got built up,' she shared candidly. 'I've been working since the age of 12. I'm 18 now, and although I've played parallel leads before, I've never worked in a role where there was just nothing for me to do. I did not feel good about it.' Vaidehi clarified that her exit was not due to any issues with the team. 'The production and direction teams were very good and supportive. But sometimes, maybe due to TRPs or storyline changes, characters don't get developed as expected.' Talking about her role, she said, 'I was playing Sandhya, the sister of the lead. Her character was very restricted. That was the mindset of her family. But beyond that, there was no depth or direction to her story.' She further added, 'I was working 26–27 days a month, and still, the story I was narrated was never explored. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta pastilla olvidada limpia las venas a un ritmo impresionante NEWSCASA Undo I genuinely wanted to do something that allowed me to showcase my talent, so I had to take this step.'

Oil prices have receded, but too soon to sound 'all clear': Finance Ministry
The higher oil prices triggered by a brief Israel-Iran war have come down, but it is too soon to sound the "all clear" for the rest of the year, said a finance ministry report on Friday. The ministry's monthly economic review also stressed that with no major imbalances in the macro aggregates, a subdued inflation rate combined with a growth-supportive monetary policy stance, India's macroeconomic health is in a relative goldilocks situation. The brief Israel-Iran war, followed by the US intervention, pushed the price of crude oil sharply higher, it noted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How Older People Are Losing Weight (This Has Gone Viral) NEWSCASA Undo "Its persistence would have threatened India's growth and fiscal outlook in the current financial year. Thankfully, there is a ceasefire, and oil prices have retreated sharply," the ministry said. While there is an ample global supply of oil, insurance costs and the perceived risk of potential closure of choke points might cause the landed price to rise. Live Events "Therein lies the risk to India. For now, the risk has receded. But, it is too soon to sound the "all clear" for the rest of the year. "But, then, we have to get used to doing the balancing act or the high-wire act for some time to come. In this, India is on a better footing than many other nations," it said. The government seeks to build on it through critical agriculture, manufacturing, resources and technology missions and deregulation initiatives that unleash productivity. These may be nervous but exciting times for the Indian economy, the review report said, adding, "Geopolitics may offer us opportunities that appeared remote previously. It is up to us to be flexible enough to ride the tide". It further said India's economic momentum continues to grow, reflecting the country's ability to navigate complex global challenges while sustaining domestic growth drivers. In FY25, real GDP grew by 6.5 per cent, aligning with the second advance estimates. This growth came amid a challenging global environment marked by geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainties, the ministry said. "Robust domestic demand, particularly a rebound in rural consumption, steady investment activity, and a positive shift in net exports, underpinned the economy's resilience," it said, and added the services sector continued to be the main driver of growth on the supply side. Overall, the ministry said the outlook for the Indian economy remains positive, demonstrating resilience amid a turbulent global environment, supported by robust domestic demand, easing inflationary pressures, a resilient external sector, and a steady employment situation. That said, global growth continues to face headwinds, with persistent trade frictions, heightened policy uncertainty, and ongoing geopolitical conflicts weighing on the broader economic outlook, it added. The external challenges could potentially impact India's growth trajectory and warrant close and continuous monitoring, the report said.
