Actress Vidisha Srivastava, known for her role as Anita Bhabhi in the popular television show “Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain!”, recently spoke about her experiences working with two different actresses portraying Angoori Bhabi.

Working with Shubhangi Atre

Vidisha shared her reflections on her time with Shubhangi Atre, who played Angoori Bhabi for four years. She said, “I started working with Shubhangi Atre. I was also very new to the show myself. I have had a good chemistry with her as well. I have worked with her for 4 years.” The chemistry they shared made their collaboration enjoyable.

Transition to Shilpa Shinde

Talking about her current co-star Shilpa Shinde, Vidisha mentioned that she finds Shilpa to be a lovely person and very easy to work with. “I had seen and heard about Shilpa ji’s chemistry with her colleagues. When I started working with her, I came to believe that working with her is actually really comfortable. She is a nice lady. I am praising her on her face that I am enjoying working with her,” she expressed.

Vidisha added, “Yes, Shubhangi Atre was a part of the show for a long time, but I would like to favor her a bit as I am enjoying working with her because she is more fun and I am enjoying working with her, to be honest.”

Shilpa’s Perspective

Shilpa Shinde has stepped back into the role of Angoori Bhabhi in the new iteration, “Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai 2.0.” She reflects on her return, emphasizing that she does not see herself in comparison with Shubhangi. Shilpa stated, “Bhabi ji was always Shilpa Shinde, and that is why I am here after ten years. This is not overconfidence; this is my hard work. I have made my own place, and I have proved myself.”

This transition in roles showcases how the show continues to evolve while maintaining its lively essence.

The actress was seen bundled in stylish winter attire, cheekily captioning her post: “Every Mumbaikar the moment the temperature drops to 18 degrees.” The background featured the song “Alive Again” by Alone in My Room, adding a playful ambiance to her post.

A Brief Journey in Entertainment

Diana Penty began her modelling career in 2005 and made her acting debut in 2012 with the romantic comedy Cocktail. After a brief hiatus, she returned to the screen in Happy Bhag Jayegi, where she portrayed the title role of a runaway bride, a film that turned out to be a sleeper hit.

Her repertoire expanded as she played diverse roles, including an army officer in Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran, a public service volunteer in Shiddat, and the lead in the streaming film Bloody Daddy. Recently, she appeared in Detective Sherdil alongside Diljit Dosanjh, Boman Irani, Ratna Pathak Shah, Chunky Panday, and Banita Sandhu. The storyline revolves around an investigation into the mysterious murder of an Indian-origin telecom tycoon in Budapest.

Venturing into OTT

Veteran actress Bhagyashree chose to end 2025 on a calm and reflective note by embarking on a spiritual journey to Banaras.

A Moment to Pause and Reconnect

Describing her visit, Bhagyashree expressed how the sacred city aided her in realigning with herself and the universe, allowing her to close the year with peace and gratitude. On Friday, she shared a series of photos and videos featuring her husband, Himalaya Dasani, showcasing their spiritual visits to various holy places.

Reflections on Faith and Guidance

In her caption, the ‘Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya’ actress wrote, “Spiritual journey as the year ends. Banaras was that pause and reconnect, that helps us align ourselves with the Universe. It is the faith in the Lord that guides us to confidently take every step towards our future.”

She shared her experiences: “Darshan of the Kaal Bhairav (the protector), the Kashi Vishwanath Temple (Maha Mahadev, one of the jyotirling), Sankat Mochan (luckily on a Saturday, blessings from Hanumanji), and the Mahamrintunjay and Annapurna too. I just felt so blessed and full of gratitude. The tranquility of the Ganges absorbs every emotion, every fear, every askance.”

The Essence of Banaras

Bhagyashree continued, “The never-ending steps of the 84 ghats make you aware of the mighty Ganga. (During the rains, she can rise and surge high, to almost 4 stories). And yet, on a peaceful night, the feeling is like sleeping on your mother’s lap.”

Reflecting on the Maha Ganga Aarti at Dashwamedha Ghat, she noted, “So many gather to pray and take in strength. The Manikarnika Ghat where the pyres never stop burning, and yet there are no anguished cries… only quiet acceptance of what is to be. And the surprise at SI, R. Kushwaha, who could blow the conch for 5 minutes!! What amazing lung power. Of course, then there is yummy street food and shopping for the authentic weaves. Banaras never ceases to amaze me, and I hope it never stops calling me.”

Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai recently reflected on his 2008 film “Black & White,” describing it as one of the most unconventional projects of his career.

A Unique Vision

Ghai shared insights about the audience response and the intent behind the film, emphasizing how it differs from his usual style and why it remains close to his heart years later. On Instagram, he posted a poster of the film featuring Anil Kapoor, highlighting that “Black & White” was vastly different from the films he is typically known for.

In his caption, he mentioned that while the mass audience initially felt it wasn’t a “typical Subhash Ghai film,” the class audience appreciated its realistic content and storytelling.

Positive Reception from Peers

Upon the film’s release, Ghai received praise and encouraging calls from several prominent filmmakers, which he considered a significant compliment. He expressed that “Black & White” is one of his favorite works, largely because it deviated from his standard style.

He wrote, “It’s not a Subhash Ghai kind of film. Was first reaction of audience in masses tho class audience loved the film n its content in my film BLACK N WHITE. As it was a real-life film, in 2008 I got calls from top directors appreciating the film on release of film. A big compliment indeed N it’s still my favourite work as it’s not a Subhash Ghai film please do watch it on TV.”

Film Details

“Black & White,” co-produced and directed by Ghai, stars Anil Kapoor, Anurag Sinha, Shefali Shah, and Aditi Sharma in pivotal roles. The narrative revolves around an Afghan suicide bomber, played by Anurag Sinha, tasked with a mission on India’s Independence Day.

Ankur Rathee recently shared his experience working alongside Kunal Kemmu on the show “Single Papa.”

In his exclusive comments, he highlighted their natural camaraderie and the seamless way they brought their scenes to life. Ankur expressed that whether discussing scenes or simply spending time on set, their effortless rapport enhanced the entire shooting experience, making it both enjoyable and smooth.

Reflecting on their collaboration, Rathee shared, “Kunal is a brilliant human being and an equally talented actor. Our camaraderie wasn’t something forced; it just clicked. Whether we were discussing a scene or driving through the jungle, there was a level of comfort that made the work feel seamless. He has a great energy that keeps the environment lively.”

The ‘Four More Shots Please’ actor went on to say that their professional ease often led to genuine humor on set. He recalled a hilarious wedding scene where Kunal had to prevent him from making a bathroom break. “During that sequence when my character couldn’t hold his pee, we both had a laughing fit, set off by my line fumble ‘susi aayi hai.’ It’s such an absurd situation: I’m desperately trying to use the washroom and he keeps dragging me away while giving an emotional monologue.”

On another note, “Single Papa,” produced by Aditya Pittie and Samar Khan under the Juggernaut Productions banner, premiered on Netflix on December 12, 2025.

Earlier, Kunal Khemu also discussed how fatherhood shaped his character in the series. He reflected, “Being a father, I’ve had the edge. If I wasn’t, then I would have to draw from others’ experiences and lives and imagine what it would feel like. But here, I had my own experiences to draw from. I remembered what it felt like to hold a baby for the first time or like the other things that happen.”

Actor-producer Lakshmi Manchu recently shared some of the most memorable moments of her life during the first quarter of the 21st century.

Celebrating Motherhood

In a heartfelt conversation, she revealed that nothing compares to the profound experience of becoming a mother. “Nothing, absolutely nothing, comes close. Motherhood recalibrated my definition of success, strength, and purpose. It grounded me in ways no award or applause ever could.”

A Shift to Meaningful Content

Lakshmi also spoke about her passion for producing meaningful content. “Finding my voice beyond acting, hosting conversations, producing meaningful content, and creating platforms where stories matter—this was a turning point. Whether on YouTube, Instagram, movies, television, or OTT, I stopped chasing validation and started owning my narrative.”

Joy in Social Impact

She expressed sheer happiness in witnessing the growth of her NGO. “Watching classrooms come alive and seeing children discover confidence through education has brought me my deepest joy. Impact outlives fame, and that realization changed me forever.”

Embracing Challenges

Lakshmi mentioned the importance of stepping out of her comfort zone. “Whether it was taking up unconventional roles, speaking up when it was uncomfortable, or standing my ground during difficult phases, every time I chose courage, I found freedom.”

Proud of Her Roots

She emphasized that working internationally didn’t mean letting go of her Indianness. “Working internationally while staying deeply connected to my Indian identity has been incredibly fulfilling. It reaffirmed that our stories, our culture, and our voices truly belong on the world stage.”

A Shift in Industry Dynamics

Reflecting on her entry into the entertainment industry, she noted how it was a time when legacy mattered more than individuality and access was limited. “Today, talent, persistence, and authenticity matter far more than lineage alone, and that shift is powerful.”

Lakshmi pointed out the industry’s expansion beyond traditional cinema. “Digital platforms, OTT, podcasts, and global collaborations have democratized storytelling. As a woman, this evolution has been liberating. I no longer have to fit into a box; I can create my own.”

Redefining Success

On a personal level, she learned that longevity is about being real rather than staying relevant at any cost. “Earlier, success was measured by visibility. Today, I measure it by the alignment between who I am, what I stand for, and the work I choose to do.”

A Vision for the Future

In concluding her reflections on the last 25 years, Lakshmi said, “The 21st century has taught me that reinvention isn’t betrayal; it’s growth. If the first quarter was about finding my footing, the next ones are about walking with clarity, confidence, and compassion.”

Actor Priyanshu Painyuli has shared how the last quarter of the 21st century has profoundly impacted his personal and professional journey.

Reflecting on his experiences, the actor discussed the significant growth he has undergone both as an artist and as a human being. When asked about his five happiest moments from this period, Priyanshu emphasized that it was actually this last quarter that shaped him, stating, “I don’t think I can say five happiest moments; there will be 15, because this last quarter of the 21st century is what shaped me as a person, as an artist, as a human being.”

He went on to list some key moments:

– Moving to Mumbai from Bangalore after finishing his studies in 2010, which marked the beginning of his journey.
– His debut feature film, “Rock On 2,” where he had a few scenes that introduced him as an actor.
– Gaining more recognition with “Bhavesh Joshi Superhero.”
