Lovey Sasan on Saath Nibhaana Saathiya's 15 years; says ‘At times I miss being on sets and my team from the show'
As Saath Nibhaana Saathiya completes 15 iconic years, actress Lovey Sasan, now known as Loveyy Koushiik, reflects with warmth and gratitude on being part of the show's unforgettable journey. Lovey joined the family drama in 2014 as Paridhi Modi, and quickly became a beloved face in Indian television households. 'Being a part of such a successful show is truly a blessing,' Lovey shares. 'Till date, there are moments when I really miss being on set and my team from the show. We had such a wonderful time shooting—those memories are etched in my heart.' She fondly recalls bonding with co-stars Rashmi Singh and Uppekha Jain, calling them her 'partners in fun' during long filming hours. The show, which premiered in May 2010, became one of India's longest-running television dramas. Lovey entered the narrative after the exit of Rucha Hasabnis, who played the original Rashi. While some might expect comparisons, Lovey says she never faced any judgment or pressure. 'Paridhi and Rashi were completely different individuals. I was introduced as a new character, not a replacement, so there was never any comparison.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

Lovey also reminisced about her nervous first day on set. 'My first scenes were with Devoleena (Gopi) and Rupal (Kokila), and I was nervous—but everything went smoothly.' Even years after the show went off air in 2017, the actress continues to receive love from fans. 'People still call me Paridhi and send me the sweetest messages online. That connection means the world to me.' Outside of Saathiya, Lovey has appeared in shows like Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Kitani Mohabbat Hai 2, Anamika, and more, but Paridhi remains her most iconic role to date.

Madhuri Dixit's husband Dr Nene rolls his eyes as Rani Mukerji sucks snake venom in Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat: ‘This scene is pure…'
Rani Mukerji, who gained recognition for her roles in films like Ghulam (1998) and Saathiya (2002), started off her Bollywood career with the film Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat. In the film, she plays a survivor of sexual assault who marries her attacker as per the court's order. Aside from the film's problematic depiction of domestic violence, it also included a scene in which Rani's character sucks snake venom out of her husband to save his life. They fall in love. The movie was criticised for its plot, and is now the source of memes. One such scene from the film was recently viewed by Madhuri Dixit's husband Dr Sriram Nene, who couldn't help but roll his eyes. In his latest YouTube video, Dr Nene was seen reviewing a couple of medical memes, sharing what's real and what's dangerous about them. Among the many memes that he watched, Rani Mukerji's snake venom scene from Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat stood out. Watching it, Dr Nene rolled his eyes and said, 'I don't know the context of this but I think what we are looking at is the old wives tell that if a snake bites you, you suck out the venom and the patient does fine.' ALSO READ | Moushumi Chatterjee recalls being thrown out of Amitabh Bachchan film, says she's 'a better person' than Jaya Bachchan Dismissing such misconceptions, Dr Nene clarified, 'Listen, by the time you start to exhibit neurologic effects and other effects, he's already got a systematic dose of the venom. So, I don't know that this is going to change anything. What you can do, though, if you are at the scene, is you can put a tourniquet on and then get the patient to help where they can give them an antivenom.' He then recalled the time when his own family once kept mongoose and dogs to protect them from snakes as it was a common affair back then. 'In many parts of India… remember India is not one India. It is 30% metro, 70% rural. And in the rural areas like Konkan where my family was from two generations ago, they did have cobras and other snakes and they didn't always have antivenoms readily available. People did die of these bites. They would keep mongoose and dogs to to kind of protect you.' Getting back to the film's scene, Dr Nene said, 'This scene is pure cinema for the most part. Not sure that it's realistic and wouldn't give you the best results. But I have seen it before in western films as well as eastern films so not a big surprise, just that it doesn't work.'
