Lakshmi Manchu gets real
Excerpts
Tell us about the new show The Traitors.
I can confidently say that The Traitors is going to be one of the biggest reality shows India has ever seen. It's the result of a powerful collaboration between BBC and Amazon, and I know how hard they worked to bring this format to India. It has been a top-rated show in every country it's aired in, and that got me really excited. I've always wanted to do something new, something that hasn't been done before. This show came at the perfect time, just after I moved to Mumbai. It felt like the Universe aligning! That thrill of venturing into the unknown is what made me say yes.
How did you get selected for the show?
I didn't do anything! It was all Amazon. They really went the extra mile to get the kind of talent they wanted. If you look at the entire lineup, it's an incredible ensemble. All the credit goes to Neha from Amazon for putting together such a dynamic cast.

Uorfi Javed Gets Her Fillers Dissolved, Says, "I Will Get Them Again But Naturally"
Uorfi Javed recently took to her Instagram handle to post a up close and personal video of her getting her lip fillers dissolved as they were misplaced. What's more, she declared that she wanted to get them redone naturally and sticks to her, "I'm not saying no to fillers at all," remark. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Uorfi (@urf7i) Uorfi Javed is quite a gutsy celebrity and an honest one when it comes to owning up to all the help she takes to enhance her beauty. Lately she visited doctor Rickson Pereira's Dermatherapie Clinic in Mumbai's Khar neighbourhood to get her fillers dissolved. Uorfi has proven to be a true blue internet personality and reality television star in her own right, by sharing unfiltered behind-the-scenes details of her filler removal session. She captioned the unfiltered post as, "No this is not a filter , I decided to get my fillers dissolved as they were every misplaced . I will get them again but naturally . I'm not saying no to fillers at all . Dissolving is painful . Also it's very very important you go to a. Good doctor for fillers , all these doctors with fancy clinics know nothing . Finally I found @ , trust me he's the best" This video clearly shows how the removal procedure made Uorfi's lip swell one injection at a time. By the end of the process The Traitors star had a duck plump like pout. But what was commendable about her is that she had the frit to laugh at herself through the process rather than considering it a taboo. Also going through the process in front of the camera takes a lot of courage as it is difficult to predict how the results might come out. But Uorfi closed the video on an extremely transparent and positive beauty note, that she is a botox girl and wouldn't say no to fillers at all provided they are done by right and experienced doctor.

Maybe no one will accept me, no family will accept me," she once told Ranveer Allahabadia during his podcast.

Noh Sang Hyun in talks for BBC's Gold Digger K-drama remake opposite Kim Hee Ae: Know plot, character details, more
Actor Noh Sang Hyun may be returning to the small screen with a bold new role. On July 20, a representative from his agency, Eco Global Group, confirmed that he had been approached for the upcoming Korean drama Gold Digger. It is based on the BBC series of the same name. The agency clarified that Noh Sang Hyun is currently reviewing the proposal and has not yet finalized his decision. This potential casting has already sparked considerable interest among fans. It's not only because of the unique source material but also due to reports that Kim Hee Ae has been cast as the female lead. The drama is currently in discussion for airing on JTBC, although no official broadcast details have been announced. BBC's Gold Digger goes Korean Gold Digger is a psychological family drama originally aired by the BBC. It focuses on the life of a wealthy older woman who finds unexpected love with a much younger man. The Korean remake will retain the central theme: a story of emotional rediscovery and social judgment. The central plot revolves around Julia, a 60-year-old woman who finds herself alone on her birthday. During a visit to an art gallery, she unexpectedly meets Benjamin, a 33-year-old man. Their growing relationship creates a ripple effect. It challenges not just societal norms but also the delicate ties between family, love, and identity. Kim Hee Ae and Noh Sang Hyun's 23-year age gap generates buzz What has further stirred attention is the 23-year age difference between Kim Hee Ae, born in 1967, and Noh Sang Hyun, born in 1990. This large age gap, while central to the storyline, is also rare in casting, especially in Korean dramas. If the actor accepts the role, this would mark his first major on-screen pairing with the veteran actress. Kim Hee Ae is widely respected for her intense, emotionally layered portrayals, most recently in The Whirlwind. Meanwhile, Noh Sang Hyun has steadily built a name for himself with standout roles in dramas like Pachinko and Soundtrack #2. Adding weight to the project is the involvement of two seasoned writers. The script is being crafted by Sun Young, the screenwriter behind Forecasting Love and Weather, and Kang Eun Kyung, who penned the popular Dr. Romantic series. Noh Sang Hyun's packed schedule may delay confirmation Notably, Noh Sang Hyun is currently busy preparing for two other projects: Genie, Make a Wish, and Wife of a 21st Century Prince. His final decision is likely to depend on production timelines, script discussions, and overall scheduling feasibility. Fans are now eagerly waiting to see if the actor will take on this unique and potentially career-defining role. As anticipation builds, all eyes are on the final cast lineup for Gold Digger.
