Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain's Sheel Verma Love For Mumbai Rains Is All Of Us
As the city of dreams recently witnessed a spell of rainfall, actor Sheel Verma revealed what he loves about Mumbai rains.
The arrival of rain adds a unique appeal to Mumbai. It turns the city into a lush, vibrant landscape, with the refreshing rains wiping away the heat and dust and revealing a different aspect of its beauty. As the city of dreams recently witnessed a spell of rainfall, the cool breeze and the scent of wet earth brought instant relief to many residents, including actor Sheel Verma, known for playing Jaiveer in the show Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain.
Expressing his love for this season, Sheel said, 'I enjoy rains and the earthy fragrance that comes after the first rainfall; it's something I always look forward to. Yesterday, on my way home from a shoot, it began to rain, so I took a longer route with my favourite music playing in the car," as quoted by Filmibeat.
He added, 'In the morning, the sun was back, so I had no expectations. But, surprisingly, it started raining again – and it's times like this when I happily ignore my diet. I got myself a nice cup of tea and ordered some samosas – the ideal way to enjoy the beautiful weather. As they say in the film Wake Up Sid, 'Mumbai rains are absolutely to die for' – and I couldn't agree more."
On the work front, Sheel is currently winning hearts with his performance as Jaiveer. In the television series, his character often gets duped by Chamkili (played by Ishita Ganguly), while his wife Chaina (played by Diksha Dhami) acts as his keeper, shielding him and his family from danger.
Previously, speaking about being a part of the show, Sheel said, 'This is my first time playing the lead in a television show. So far, I'm really liking it. I've worked in films before, but having a major role on television is unique and fascinating."
'Jaiveer, the character I play in the show, is someone with whom I have a personal connection, and I am thoroughly enjoying portraying him. Jaiveer is a vibrant, cheery person, yet his rough background has left him short-tempered. This contrast makes the character accessible to me," he added, as quoted by ETimesTV.
The show airs from Monday to Saturday at 9 pm on Shemaroo Umang.

Asees Kaur Drops Soulful EP Broken With 4 Songs On Love And Letting Go
While Asees has lent her voice in Broken, the music and lyrics are by Goldie Sohel. Asees Kaur has been the voice behind several hit tracks in Bollywood, but despite being a successful playback singer, she recently launched her first EP (Extended Play) called Broken. The musician's new collection has four songs, which are a blend of love, heartbreak and healing. Each song, including Toot Gaya, Bhool Jaungi, Phir Na Milenge and Kaindiyaan, shows different feelings. While Asees has lent her voice, the music and lyrics are created by Goldie Sohel, known for composing hits like Aaj Sajeya and Bairiya. As per Filmibeat, the singer said, 'Broken is the most personal I've ever been with my music. The audience has given so much love to my film songs, and now, in parallel, I want to keep putting out my independent music as well. Both kinds of music are equally special to me. Goldie and I began working on these songs after the birth of our son, Harfateh, last year. They were born out of late-night conversations, voice notes, and moments only the two of us shared." Asees Kaur once tried to start her singing career through Indian Idol, but she was not selected. Still, she didn't lose hope. With time and effort, she became a well-known playback singer. In an earlier interview with The Hindu, she spoke about her early days and said that she began her journey on her own. She learned by listening to cassette tapes. In the beginning, preparing for a song used to take her around a month. But with experience, that time has reduced, and now she can get ready in just a day. She believes that if someone wants to become a singer, getting proper training really helps. It teaches you how to control your voice and gives you the confidence to perform. According to Asees, a good teacher can guide you with ragas, voice control and other important skills that make the path easier. Throughout her time in the music industry, Asees Kaur has given a number of hit songs like Raatan Lambiyan, Ve Kamleya, Dum Dum, Ikk Kudi, Chogada, Aankh Lad Jaavee and Ve Maahi, among others.

Disha Vakani NOT Returning To Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah? Asit Modi Breaks Silence
Asit Modi says Disha Vakani's return as Dayaben in TMKOC isn't easy despite fans' love. He stresses strong storytelling keeps the show going even without her. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been in the headlines for several different reasons, and every two months a new report surfaces about Asit Modi casting a new actress to fulfill Daya Ben's role in the sitcom. A few reports also claim that Disha Vakani might return to the show. Now, Asit Modi has reacted to the reports about whether Disha Vakani is returning to the show or not. In a recent interview, the producer told ETimes TV whether the actress can return to the show or not. He stated, 'The viewers who constantly ask about Daya Bhabhi's comeback are absolutely right. Disha ji truly left a lasting impact. Even though it's been eight years since she was last seen, her character still lives on in the hearts of the audience." 'Disha ji's role overpowered the character. Bringing her back isn't simple, though, and it takes time and the right circumstances," Asit continued. 'I focus primarily on storytelling. When the narrative is strong, viewers naturally become engrossed in the plot, and the absence of a character doesn't stand out as much. This show has always been driven by its story. As long as we keep delivering engaging content, people stay connected whether or not certain characters are present," he added, while sharing that good storytelling manages to fill the void of a missing character. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been running successfully for 17 years now. However, over the years, several actors have left the show. Among them are Disha Vakani, Jheel Mehta, Bhavya Gandhi, Raj Anadkat, Palak Sindhwani, Gurucharan Singh Sodhi, and Neha Mehta — all of whom are no longer part of TMKOC. After leaving the show, several actors, including Shailesh Lodha and Jennifer Mistry, accused the makers of misbehaviour, non-payment of dues, and several other allegations. Nidhi Bhanushali, who also left the show after playing the role of Sonu for several years, reacted to the accusations of non-payment of money. Speaking to News18 Showsha, Nidhi said, 'Aisi kaunsi cheez hoti hai jo sirf acchi hai? Every coin has two sides. Everybody is trying to do their best. I really don't know what to say on this. I chose what I chose when I thought the time was right. And I have just moved on in life." Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
