Indraxi Kanjilal on World Environment Day: People need to take responsibility to keep their surroundings clean
On the occasion of World Environment Day , actress Indraxi Kanjilal, known for her role as Prarthana in Pushpa Impossible, opened up about the urgent need for collective responsibility when it comes to the environment. Sharing her observations and frustrations, Indraxi stressed that the real solution lies in basic awareness and individual accountability. 'I think people themselves need to be aware and take responsibility for where they throw their garbage. That's the only real way to keep things clean,' she said. Recalling a recent experience, she shared, 'I recently visited a beach near Kolkata, which is one of the most popular beaches. The government has already declared that throwing garbage around is illegal and anyone caught doing it will be fined. The people there were actually very careful. The beach had dustbins placed everywhere—two types of bins for different types of waste. I think that's exactly how it should be. ' For Indraxi, it's a combined effort between citizens and the government that can bring real change. 'At that beach, I saw how seriously everyone was taking this. There were dustbins at every 10 steps, literally. It was very well managed. I believe both people and the government need to be alert and responsible. Only with public awareness and strict government action can we manage waste properly.' However, her hope dims when it comes to air pollution, a growing threat we encounter every day. 'Air pollution is caused by things we use every day—air conditioners, cars, trucks. These things can't just be stopped. You can't tell people to not use ACs or cars. Even if you tell them to be cautious or use public transport, most won't listen,' she lamented. Reflecting on years of hearing the same advice in school, Indraxi questioned whether people ever truly take action. 'Since I was a child, I've heard teachers and guests talk about reducing pollution—use public transport, save electricity. But hardly anyone follows it. People say all the right things, but the real question is: are we even listening?' With a tinge of sadness, she concluded, 'The damage is already done. Things will only get worse. The number of cars, electric vehicles, and machines that emit harmful gases is increasing. Honestly, I don't think anything can really fix it now.' However, she adds that the buck stops at us. 'As someone who lives on this Earth, I feel it's my duty to take care of our planet. I believe it's important to keep the Earth healthy and do whatever I can to avoid polluting my country and the world. So yes, I try to follow good habits every day. I don't waste water. I always separate wet and dry garbage. That's the most basic thing we all should do. I avoid using plastic as much as possible. And even if I do use it, I make sure not to throw it around carelessly. Plastic should be thrown in proper places because it harms the environment. Also, I make sure not to waste electricity. That's another basic but very important thing. Overall, I always try my best to protect the environment and do whatever little I can to make a difference.'

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.

Pushpa Impossible: Pushpa solidifies her resolve to study law; to face new challenges
Pushpa Impossible is set to enter a powerful and transformative phase as the show's spirited protagonist, Pushpa (played by Karuna Pandey), embarks on a new journey that promises to redefine her life. After overcoming numerous personal and societal challenges, Pushpa reaches a crucial crossroads where she chooses to study law—a decision driven by both heartbreak and hope. In the upcoming episodes, Pushpa's attempt to help retired peon Ghanshyam (Mukul Srivastava) initially misfires, leading to the unexpected arrests of Dilip (Jayesh More) and Bapodara (Jayesh Bharbhaya). While her efforts eventually secure Ghanshyam's long-denied pension, Pushpa finds herself accused by Kadambari (Brinda Trivedi), who feels threatened by Pushpa's closeness with Jugal (Anshul Trivedi) and secretly begins targeting Chirag (Darshan Gurjar). Amid the turmoil, the arrival of Professor Rajveer Shastri (Gaurav Chopra) adds a compelling new dimension. His cold assertion that 'law is for the powerful' shakes Pushpa's belief in justice. Their ideological clash comes to a head during a college debate where Pushpa's street-smart wisdom is dismissed—only for a student's unexpected support to reveal a crack in Rajveer's stern persona. Later, while part of a mock jury, Pushpa realizes the legal case mirrors Rajveer's hidden emotional scars. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025년 가장 멋진 RPG 게임을 지금 정복하세요 레이드 섀도우 레전드 Undo Inspired by Ghanshyam's perseverance and touched by Rajveer's vulnerability, Pushpa decides to pursue law—signaling the start of a bold new chapter. Karuna Pandey reflected on the development, saying, 'This has been one of the most powerful and emotional moments in Pushpa's journey so far. Her decision to study law isn't just a personal milestone—it's a message to every woman out there who thinks it's too late to start over. Pushpa has always led with her heart, her instinct, and her resilience, but now she's choosing to empower herself with knowledge and legal understanding. As an actor, portraying this shift has been incredibly fulfilling. I truly believe that whether you're 25 or 50, it's never too late for a fresh start. Pushpa's story is proof of that.'

Aarya DharmChand Kumar opens up on abrupt exit from Jhanak and Pushpa Impossible
Aarya DharmChand Kumar discusses his exit from the show Jhanak and Pushpa Impossible. He shares the reason behind it while he is now looking for new opportunities. Actor Aarya DharmChand Kumar , known for his roles in television shows like Jhanak and Pushpa Impossible , recently opened up about his sudden exits from both shows. Speaking candidly, Aarya said, "Yes, my roles in both shows came to an end. I completely understand the nature of television—it all depends on the storyline and TRPs. Creative changes are a part of the process. As an actor, I wouldn't want to continue in a show where I don't get much scope to perform. In Pushpa Impossible, it was communicated clearly that my track would wrap up in two months, so I thoroughly enjoyed the work. But with Jhanak, the exit was unexpected." On what's next, Aarya shared, "As an actor, I'm always on the lookout for meaningful roles where I can perform and truly connect with the audience. Like every actor, I too dream of playing a titular role, and I'm actively exploring such opportunities. However, I'm also open to strong, challenging characters—lead or otherwise." Reflecting on his early career, he added, "I began with Armano Ka Balidan – Aarakshan, where I played an IAS officer. It was a powerful lead role and a deeply fulfilling experience after which i took up other projects. Back then, when social media didn't have the influence it does today, actors often got typecast. Once you shifted to playing a parallel lead or villain, it became tough to return to hero roles."
