Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya in Bigg Boss 19? Actress says, ‘Such…'
Bigg Boss 19 is just around the corner, and the suspense is already building. With Salman Khan returning as host, fans are eagerly waiting to see which celebs will enter the house. One name that keeps popping up is Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya. Her entry has sparked major curiosity — but is she really going in? Divyanka Tripathi finally broke her silence. In a short and sharp reply to Telly Talk, she said, 'Fake, they spread such news every year.' And with that one line, the speculation around her stepping into the Bigg Boss house seemed to collapse. But if the rumour was fake, why are whispers refusing to die down? So, was she even approached? According to Bigg Boss Tak on X (formerly Twitter), Divyanka was approached. Not just her — her ex, actor Sharad Malhotra, was apparently on the list too. The post read, 'EXCLUSIVE: Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya and Sharad Malhotra have been approached for Bigg Boss 19. Likely to be confirmed.' 🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya and Sharad Malhotra have been approached for Bigg Boss 19. Likely to be confirmed. #BiggBoss_Tak — #BiggBoss_Tak👁 (@BiggBoss_Tak) August 6, 2025 And that one post was enough to send fans into a spiral — especially those who remember the past. What's the story with Sharad and Divyanka? Their story goes way back — the Banoo Main Teri Dulhann days. The co-stars were a couple for nearly eight years before calling it quits in 2015. Both are now married to different partners — Sharad to Ripci Bhatia, and Divyanka to Vivek Dahiya. But the idea of both of them under the same roof? That's Bigg Boss gold. Who else is in the mix this season? Fan pages have thrown up a wide net of names: Rati Pandey, Hunar Hali, Apoorva Mukhija aka The Rebel Kid, Dhanashree Verma, Mr. Faisu, Bhavika Sharma, Meera Deosthale, and Sreeram Chandra. And then there's the Taarak Mehta squad: Shailesh Lodha, Gurucharan Singh, and Jennifer Mistry. Yes, you read that right. There was a bizarre buzz that a UAE-based robot named Habubu might enter the house. But a report by The Indian Express hinted that the makers might've scrapped the idea altogether. So, what's the truth? In the world of Bigg Boss, nothing's real until it's on screen. Divyanka might've said 'Fake,' but reality TV has its own rules — and sometimes, they bend the truth just right.

When ‘Gods' Fall Silent: Nitish Bharadwaj, TV's Krishna, Left Broken By Love And Lawsuits
Last Updated: Beloved for his role as Lord Krishna, Nitish Bharadwaj now battles loneliness, divorce, and legal fights with his ex-wife over their daughters Appearances can be deceiving, and this seems especially true for movie and TV stars. While the world sees only their on-screen charm and radiant smiles, their personal lives often tell a different story. One such figure is Nitish Bharadwaj, beloved by millions for his portrayal of Lord Krishna in BR Chopra's epic television series Mahabharata. To viewers, his calm presence and divine smile were almost celestial. But behind the screen, his life has been anything but serene. Troubled Personal Life Nitish Bharadwaj has faced a series of emotional and legal challenges, particularly in his personal relationships. His first marriage, in 1991, was to Monisha Patil, daughter of noted magazine editor Vimala Patil. The couple had a son and a daughter and were together for 14 years before their divorce. In 2009, Nitish Bharadwaj married IAS officer Smita Gete, with whom he had twin daughters. However, this marriage also ended in separation after ten years, and unlike his first divorce, this one became publicly contentious. Legal Disputes And Allegations Post-separation, Nitish Bharadwaj filed a police complaint alleging that Smita Gete was mentally harassing him and deliberately preventing him from meeting their daughters. He accused her of frequently changing their schools to avoid contact. In an emotional interview, he opened up about his mental distress and referred to instances of 'parental alienation', claiming his daughters had been manipulated into hating him. Nitish Bharadwaj revealed to Telly Talk that one of his daughters once told him, 'Papa, we're ashamed to call you our father." Smita Gete, however, refuted all claims in a press conference, accusing Nitish Bharadwaj of distorting facts and attempting to malign her reputation. Career Beyond The Screen Before entering the entertainment industry, Nitish Bharadwaj trained as a veterinarian. However, he soon turned to acting, starting with Marathi theatre before moving into Hindi productions. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nitish Bharadwaj (@ At the age of just 23, Nitish Bharadwaj shot to fame with his iconic portrayal of Lord Krishna in Mahabharat. He later appeared in other mythological series such as Ramayan and Vishnu Puran, and featured in films including Trishagni (1988), the critically acclaimed Malayalam film Njan Gandharvan (1991), Mohenjo Daro (2016) and Kedarnath (2018). These roles further cemented his legacy in both Indian television and cinema. Today, despite his iconic status, Nitish Bharadwaj lives a solitary life, grappling with the aftermath of broken relationships and legal battles.

When asked about the extra efforts that he puts in to stay relevant in the industry. He said, 'Unfortunately, I am not good at that. I believe, when your work is good, people would want to collaborate with you. Your talent and hard work are enough to earn your next project. If you are too good at your craft, people will want to work with you." About Haale Dil, the upcoming show will feature Manisha Rani, Nishank Verma, Harshad Arora and Jennifer Emmanuel. The show dives deep into the theme of raw emotions of love, grief and self-discovery. First Published:

Vishal Pandey On Being Trolled For Cannes 2025 Debut Look: ‘Bura Laga'
Last Updated: Vishal Pandey recently addressed the trolling following his Cannes debut, clarifying that his presence at the festival was for a film project, not just for fashion. Vishal Pandey, the Indian actor and social media sensation, made a stunning debut at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival with his international film Far Away From Home. While many celebrated his achievement, others criticised his debut, labelling it a mere red carpet appearance. Recently, Vishal swiftly responded to the backlash, highlighting his passion for storytelling. He emphasised that his presence at Cannes was about more than just fashion. In a candid conversation with Telly Talk, Vishal Pandey shared his thoughts on the online criticism, saying, 'Pareshaan nahi, grateful hu joh bhi opportunities aaye. Vahan pe log mujhe itna appreciate kar rahe the. Mujhe laga jab main apne desh aaunga, aur zyada hoga lekin mere desh mein mixed opinions mile. (I am not worried, I am grateful for whatever opportunities came my way. People there were appreciating me so much. I felt that when I came to my country, there would be more, but I got mixed opinions in my country)." He added, 'Tab bura laga ki main apne country ko represent kar raha tha vahan pe. Aisa nahi hai ki main apna fashion show karne gaya tha. Cannes Film Festival is about films, not fashion. (Then I felt bad that I was representing my country there, it's not like I had gone to show my fashion. Cannes Film Festival is about films, not fashion)."
