Sana Makbul reflects on her Bigg Boss OTT 3 win after a year; says 'One year ago, on this date, my life changed'
Actress Sana Makbul, who emerged as the winner of Bigg Boss OTT Season 3, took to social media to mark one year since her life transforming victory. In a heartfelt post, Sana shared how the journey wasn't just about the title, but about growth, gratitude, and transformation. 'One year ago, on this date, my life changed. Winning Bigg Boss OTT Season 3 wasn't just a title it was the beginning of a journey I will forever cherish. This past year has been nothing short of magical, intense, eye opening, and deeply humbling,' she wrote. The actress also expressed deep appreciation for her supporters. 'I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you those who stood by me, believed in me, supported me, prayed for me, even those who quietly observed from afar or parted ways along the journey. Every presence, every absence, every moment has shaped me.' Reflecting on how life has evolved, Sana added, 'Life truly came full circle: health, wealth, love, lessons it all danced together in perfect chaos. Some bonds deepened, some faded, some broke, and a few beautiful ones were born anew. And through it all, I've only grown stronger, softer, wiser, and more grateful.' Ending her note with a message of positivity, she said, 'Here's to gratitude, growth, grace, and the magic of transformation. Thank you, from the deepest part of my heart. With love and light.' Recently, during her appearance on Bharti Singh's podcast, Sana candidly discussed her health issues, disclosing that she has been undergoing treatment and taking medication for her condition since 2020. Sana revealed, 'I have turned vegan recently for health reasons. A lot of people don't know that I am an autoimmune hepatitis patient. Autoimmune is a condition and I have a liver disease. It was diagnosed in 2020. There are no specific symptoms of my condition. In this, my body's own cells attack the organ. In my case, it is sometimes Lupus, which can affect the kidneys or lead to arthritis. Samantha Ruth Prabhu has myositis, which primarily affects the muscles. For me, it impacts my liver." Sana's journey continues to inspire fans who've followed her from strength to strength since her Bigg Boss win.

Mary Kills People premiere shocks K-drama fans with euthanasia and same-sex themes
MBC's bold new drama Mary Kills People wasted no time making waves. Premiering on August 1, the series dove headfirst into two big taboo topics: euthanasia and underage same-sex attraction - both tackled within its very first episode. Veteran actress Lee Bo-young stars as Woo So-jung, an ER doctor who moonlights as a secret angel of death for terminally ill patients. Adapted from the Canadian series of the same name, the Korean remake reimagines the morally gray original with a culturally specific twist - one that's already igniting debate across Korean social media. Euthanasia enters the K-drama spotlight The opening sequence sets the tone: a gravely ill man named Choi Kang-yoon (played by special guest Lee Sang-yoon) calmly declares his intent to die. "This is my choice, and I feel happy and satisfied at this moment," he says, raising a glass of champagne dosed with pentobarbital. "How long will it take?" he asks. Woo So-jung's reply is emotionless: "Usually, it ends in an instant." And just like that -he's gone. Queer-coded teens raise eyebrows But the episode doesn't stop there. A provocative subplot features So-jung's teenage niece Jae-yeon (Kim Sang-ji) and her friend Woo-mi (Kang Na-eon), who spend a sleepover sharing moments that blur the line between platonic and romantic. "My mom thinks it's totally safe if it's just girls," Woo-mi scoffs. "She thinks she knows everything but knows nothing." The tension builds as the girls exchange lingering glances and tender compliments, including Woo-mi telling Jae-yeon, "Your eyes are really pretty." Pushing the boundaries of primetime From assisted dying to queer-coded adolescent intimacy, Mary Kills People is making it clear: this isn't your average K-drama. The premiere has already sparked fierce online discussion - some praising its plot while others are calling it deeply uncomfortable. Regardless of the views of K-drama fans, Mary Kills People has started a conversation Korea wasn't ready to have - but can no longer ignore. Episode 2 airs August 2 at 10 PM KST on MBC. For viewers abroad, fans can watch it on Prime Video. For all the latest K-drama, K-pop, and Hallyuwood updates, keep following our coverage here.
