New Faces Join the Cast

Rajeshwari described “Maharani” as more than just a show. She stated that it’s a powerful narrative reflecting the pulse of politics and power. She also expressed her excitement, saying, “Joining this world, especially with a character that plays such a crucial role in the unfolding drama, is incredibly thrilling. The writing is bold, the stakes are high, and I can’t wait for the audience to witness the storm my character brings to Rani Bharti’s world.”

For Darsheel, being a part of “Maharani 4” signifies a significant turning point. He remarked, “It’s a turning point. This season dives deeper into the chaos of power, and my character walks straight into the eye of that storm. Expect the unexpected, because nothing stays the same.”

Creative Team and Returning Cast

Directed by Puneet Prakash and produced by Kangra Talkies Pvt. Ltd., “Maharani 4” is created by Subhash Kapoor. Returning stars include Huma Qureshi, Shweta Basu Prasad, Vipin Sharma, Amit Sial, Vineet Kumar, Shardul Bhardwaj, Kani Kusruti, and Pramod Pathak.

The earlier seasons of the show captured Huma Qureshi’s journey from an unexpected political outsider to a shrewd leader navigating the ruthless corridors of power in Bihar. The upcoming season promises to continue the blend of political realism and gripping drama.

Season 1 covers the period from 1995 to 1999, drawing from real-life events and figures such as Ranvir Sena, left-wing militants, Naxalite groups, and the Fodder Scam.

Season 2, set in mid-1999, draws inspiration from events like the Shilpi-Gautam Murder and the 2000 Bihar Legislative Assembly election. The third season continued to explore real-life incidents, including the Jitan Manjhi episode.

Streaming Details

“Maharani 4” will be available for streaming on Sony LIV starting November 7.

He captured our essence, not just our visuals.”

Hollywood actress and director Scarlett Johansson recently shared a delightful story about her 11-year-old daughter, Rose, who expressed her desire for a “Marie Antoinette gown.”

During her appearance on the Busy This Week podcast, Scarlett revealed, “My daughter … asked for a Marie Antoinette gown.”

An incredibly talented dressmaker from Ukraine, who specializes in opera costumes, created a magnificent two-measure full opera-style dress featuring a hoop skirt and corset for Rose.

Scarlett described the gown as “outrageous,” mentioning that it was designed to be adjustable so Rose could wear it for years. “She still puts it on and she looks so cute,” she added.

The dress held special significance for Rose, as Johansson revealed that she wore it to her mother’s wedding. “It was really spectacular. She had her little dress on, then she was like, ‘Change me now.’ And I was like, in the middle of the wedding, I’m like, ‘We’ll be right back. We have a costume change for Rose,’” Scarlett recounted.

In another discussion about motherhood, the actress noted that it hasn’t significantly altered her work life. Speaking to OK! magazine, she said, “I have a job that’s very advantageous in that way. I can parent and then go do the scene and go back and parent. There’s a bit of back and forth, but it works.”

Johansson acknowledged that while her approach to work may not have changed yet, it might in the future. “Again, it’s a job that works with you. I have a freedom that others don’t, so I’m grateful,” she mentioned.

Determined to be a positive influence, Scarlett emphasized the importance of setting a good example for her daughter. “I’m not sure how much of an impact it’s making right now, but absolutely, in the future, I want her to know and absorb the lesson of working hard, going for your dreams and making it happen.”

Actress Vidya Malavade believes that yoga is all about being ‘fully present’ in the moment.

The ‘Chak De! India’ star recently shared a video of her yoga session on her official Instagram. In the clip, she was practising the ‘Fall and Rise’ pose. Vidya candidly revealed that she fell twice while attempting the asana, but successfully mastered it on her third try.

Sharing her thoughts on the unpredictability of daily practice, she wrote, “This practice is truly humbling after decades of acing this tradition… today I fell… twice over! Sure we aced it on the third go. Everyday is different… Body mind feels differently and as long as there is no ego, falling or rising all is well.”

She added in the caption, “My practice is my Guru… my lifeline… And it is truly humbling… Progressing or regressing… it’s all about coming back on my mat and being fully present (evil eye emoji) was wonderful to practice with fellow Yogi @jayseaswell at @theglustudio.”

Vidya enjoys sharing her journey towards well-being with her Instagram family. Previously, in September, she shared her shower affirmation to ward off negative energy.

She disclosed that she hasn’t used soap on her skin for the last decade but her skin remains as soft as ever. Her ritual involves wetting the skin, taking a spoonful of salt, and adding a few drops of water to create a paste. She applies this paste all over her body, steps out of the shower for 30 seconds, and recites her affirmation: “Thank you for taking away any intentional and unintentional Nazar coming towards me and mine… And anything that doesn’t serve me!”

After the affirmation, she recommends stepping back into the shower and visualising the water washing away the salt along with any aches, pains, worries, anxiety, anger, etc., going down the drain.

Vidya advises doing this ritual every month for ten consecutive days, followed by a break, as salt can lead to dry skin.
