Can Tejasswi Prakash go bald for a role? The Nagin actress reveals, 'People lately have...'
Can Tejasswi Prakash go bald for a role? The Nagin actress reveals, 'People lately have...' Actress Tejasswi Prakash, widely admired for her stunning long locks, says she wouldn't hesitate to shave her head if the role demands. She revealed that no one has approached her with such request, as filmmakers often go with creative approach rather than going with actual bald look. Tejasswi Prakash can go bald if the role demands In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Tejasswi said that she wouldn't think twice if this demand comes to her. She said, 'I would go bald for a character if it requires. I'm very committed like that most of the time. I get the sense that individuals in recent times have somehow managed to circumvent it… Like I'm doing something that's about change. But there are millions of people in the business who have proceeded and discovered so many other means of doing anything and everything, from making your colour of hair be a particular way or making you bald or making you blonde. There are just so many other workarounds that no one has requested. If I'm ever requested, I would do it.' What is Tejasswi Prakash's haircare routine? When it comes to following a haircare routine, Tejasswi credits her mother's traditional methods, especially the 'champi' or scalp massage. She explained, 'My hair routine is quite simple. Like my mother raised me, that is champi included. Of late, I have added a lot of steps to my hair routine. It is now about doing like a serious hair wash and applying a good hair mask for some 5-10 minutes and then applying good serum.' Like any other, Tejasswi has bad hair days, but she has her strategies to transform it. 'Yes, I do have bad hair days, primarily because I have straight hair. My bad hair days are not because my hair is frizzy. It is when my hair is truly flat with no volume. My hair somehow gets oily within one or two days of shampooing. Those for me are my bad hair days. And during that time, I just had a sleek hairstyle like a ponytail,' she said. Tejasswi Prakash's future roles Meanwhile, on the work front, Tejasswi is no stranger to challenge herself with shows like Naagin 6, Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 10, Bigg Boss 15 and Celebrity MasterChef . For her next, she dropped a cue that she might need to lose a bit of weight for the role.

Not Shatrughan Sinha, Reena Roy was madly in love with THIS actor, would skip classes to wait outside his house, cried when..., his name was... Shatrughan Sinha and Reena Roy's alleged affair grabbed a lot of media glare in 90s. The two first crossed paths on a movie set, eventually fell in love and dated for seven years. However, to everyone's surprise, Shatrughan Sinha ended up marrying Poonam Chandramani, despite being in a serious relationship with Reena. According to reports, Reena and Shatrughan continued being together after his marriage.

After few years, there were reports, she married Pakistani cricketer Mohsin Khan in 1983. The couple got divorced in 1992, and currently she is a single mother, residing with her daughter in Mumbai. Reena Roy had a huge crush on Rajesh Khanna Many won't know, before Reena became the highest-paid heroines of the 1970s and 80s, she was one of those typical female fans, who would stay outside Rajesh Khanna's house to catch a glimpse of the superstar. In a conversation with PTI, Roy shared, 'I would wait outside Rajesh ji's house after school to catch a glimpse of him. I would dance to the songs of Rajesh Khanna's films and would cry and get upset when injustice was meted out to him. My mother felt so bad that she stopped taking me to movies.' Not just Rajesh Khanna, Reena also expressed admiration for superstar Jeetendra. Expressing how she went blank during her first meetup with the actor on the sets of Jaise Ko Kaisa, she shared, 'I was shocked when Jeetendra ji came in front of me, I was like, is this real? I was blank. He made me feel comfortable as we started shooting and we ended up having great rapport. Our first film together was 'Jaise Ko Taisa' and that was a superhit movie. 'Nagin', and almost every film of mine with him was superhit.' Interestingly, Reena later collaborated with both Rajesh Khanna and Jeetendra, forming one of the most popular on-screen pairings in Hindi cinema. She worked opposite Khanna, in films such as Dhanwan, Asha Jyoti and Dharam Khanta, among others. With Jeetendra, Reena delivered 12 superhits, one of them being the most iconic, Nagin.

In all these cases the matter was brought to the notice of the district police authorities concerned by the local BJP leadership in the respective districts. The primary teacher, who is currently in police custody for questioning for making such posts has been identified as Shamsher Alam Khan, who is posted to Egra from the East Midnapore district. It was brought to the notice of the East Midnapore district police that during the last couple of days that Khan had been making sweeping comments on his social media account, claiming that India was suffering in the conflict with Pakistan, and also wrote the slogan of "Pakistan Zindabad" in these posts.

Similarly, another person, Milan Sheikh, was arrested at Katwa in East Burdwan district, on Monday, for making similar anti-India posts on Operation Sindoor.

The post came to the notice of the local BJP leadership, and they informed the police. The policemen arrested Khan and booked him under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita namely Section 147 (punishment for waging, or attempting to wage war, or abetting waging of war against Indian government), Section 152 (punishment for acts endangering sovereignty unity and integrity of India) and Section 299 (punishment for deliberate and malicious intent to outrage the religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious belief).

Nagin dance: Cobra cameo turns Odisha wedding celebration into wildlife crime scene
BALASORE: As drums beat and dancers swayed under lights, few expected a twist that would turn a village wedding into a wildlife crime scene . On a Wednesday night in Chhedak village under Bansada panchayat of Bhadrak district, a groom's procession turned from festive to alarming when live cobras were brought to the dance floor. Amid blaring music and cheering guests, two snake charmers and a transgender performer flaunted the venomous reptiles as part of a dramatic Nagin dance performance - a nod to India's folk traditions that took a dangerous, unlawful turn. Videos captured by wedding guests quickly circulated on social media, showing the cobras being held aloft and swayed to the rhythm, as guests clapped and recorded the spectacle with their phones. While some saw it as rustic entertainment, wildlife experts saw a blatant violation of the law - and a serious safety hazard. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This game will kill your time! Only 3% can pass Level 8. Can you beat the pirates? Stormshot Play Now Undo The Indian cobra, revered in mythology and feared in real life, is protected under Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Its capture, possession or use for public display or performance is strictly prohibited. Yet, in this remote corner of the state, age-old practices still slip past modern legal boundaries. Acting on a tip-off, the Bhadrak wildlife division attempted to intercept the wedding party near Ugratara Muni Chowk in Chandabali. However, by the time they arrived, the wedding party had already moved a considerable distance. The officials seized three live cobras along with their cages. "The two individuals who brought the snakes are absconding. They were reportedly hired from Bhubaneswar and fled the scene before officials could intervene. Forest officials rescued three cobras," said Soubhagya Kumar Sahu, divisional forest officer (DFO) of Bhadrak. Beyond the spectacle, the incident has sparked a broader conversation about the persistence of illegal wildlife practices disguised as tradition. Conservationists argue that such acts, while once culturally ingrained, are no longer acceptable in a country striving to protect its fragile ecosystems.
