Padmini Kolhapure reveals how niece Shraddha Kapoor chooses her roles with family support
According to Padmini, the 'Stree' actress doesn't make decisions in isolation; instead, she carefully considers advice from her close family members before finalising her choices. Speaking to IANS, Padmini shared that Shraddha often discusses potential projects with her mother, Shivangi Kolhapure; sister, Tejaswini, father Shakti Kapoor, and even Padmini herself. The senior actress mentioned that this collective support system helps the young actress weigh the pros and cons of each opportunity, ensuring that she makes well-informed decisions that align with her career goals and personal values.
Padmini revealed that despite taking input from her family, Shraddha ultimately trusts her own instincts. The 'Vidhaata' actress shared, 'Advice, in the sense Shraddha discusses. like with my sister Tejaswini, her mom Shivangi, me, her father, and, of course, also my husband. So, because she hears everybody, she kind of weighs the pros and cons, and then she goes ahead with her decisions in picking the films.'
Padmini Kolhapure is Shraddha Kapoor's aunt. Padmini's elder sister, Shivangi Kolhapure, who was also an actress, is married to veteran actor Shakti Kapoor and is the mother of actors Shraddha Kapoor and Siddhanth Kapoor.
Speaking about guiding her son Priyaank Sharma, Padmini Kolhapure admitted she is her son's toughest critic. When asked about her approach to supporting her son, who debuted in the 2019 film 'Sab Kushal Mangal,' the veteran star revealed that her family never pushed him into acting. Instead, they encouraged his genuine interest while preparing him for the tough realities of the industry.
'The film came out in 2019, and then COVID happened, so things stalled for him,' she said. 'My husband is a producer, I'm an actress, but we never had those typical dreams of forcing him to be an actor. He showed interest gradually, and we supported him.'
Padmini stressed the importance of independence and hard work, sharing that her son was sent to Strasbourg to understand the challenges beyond glamour. 'I keep telling him this job isn't easy. It's blood, sweat, and tears,' she remarked, referencing her own experiences and the hard work she's seen from other actors like Shah Rukh Khan and Anil Kapoor.

In the wake of Shefali Jariwala's untimely demise, her husband, actor Parag Tyagi, has come forward to dismiss false claims surrounding the health of their beloved pet dog, Simba. Addressing concerns raised by fans and media, Parag posted an emotional video on Instagram, showing himself and Simba distributing food to the underprivileged in Mumbai. Alongside the video, Parag wrote, 'Simba is Hail & Hearty and doing all the rituals to be done by a son for his mom.' He further expressed frustration over the spread of misinformation, saying, 'This video is for all those wonderful people who were really concerned about our baby Simba because of some heartless people spreading false news about our baby Simba's health just to garner few likes and views.' In the video, elderly women are seen blessing both Parag and Simba as they receive food packets. Parag emphasized that Simba is not only healthy but has been emotionally involved in the rituals following Shefali's passing. 'God bless those who truly care. And to those spreading lies—please show some humanity,' he added. The sudden death of Shefali Jariwala last month sent shockwaves through the industry, leaving fans and friends heartbroken. A video that emerged the day after her death, showing Parag walking Simba, had sparked criticism online, with many questioning his actions during such a tragic time. However, Shefali's Bigg Boss 13 co-contestant and close friend Paras spoke out in defense of Parag. In a conversation with IANS, Paras explained that Shefali, Parag, and Simba shared a deeply emotional bond. 'Simba was like their child.

For Parag, Simba is not just a pet but a cherished reminder of Shefali's love—and a silent companion through grief and healing.

Panchayat Season 5 Script LEAKED? Here's What Neena Gupta Has To Say
Last Updated: Neena Gupta, who plays Manju Devi in Panchayat, revealed the season 5 script has 'leaked'. Writer Chandan Kumar hinted at major twists in season 4. Veteran actress Neena Gupta, who plays the feisty Manju Devi in the hit series 'Panchayat,' made a surprising revelation: the script for season 5 has already been leaked! In a candid moment during a conversation with the cast, IANS revealed an upcoming twist from the series — and upon hearing it, Neena Gupta laughed and admitted that the script has already been leaked. We asked the cast, 'In this season, there are three burning questions fans are eager to know. First, who will win the elections? Second, how far will Sachiv ji and Rinky ji's love story go? And third, will Sachiv ji finally crack the exam or not? Could you shed some light on any of these?" Replying to this, writer Chandan Kumar stated, 'There are three questions, and one more is, who shot Pradhan Ji? So, I think, you have to watch the season for all four questions. You will get a lot of answers. And those answers will come with some twists. Some will be straightforward, and some will be twists. And, I think, that will make a good season 4." Neena then asked us, 'What do you think? Who will win?" We replied, 'We think Manju Devi will win. But after that, something unexpected might happen." Hearing this, Gupta laughed and said, 'The script has leaked. Get ready for the next season — the script has already leaked!" Further, when asked whether the script for Season 4 was ready before Season 3 had even released, the writer confirmed, 'Yes, I had already started writing. By the time Season 3 came out, a significant portion of the script was already complete. And just a few months later, after the monsoon, we were on the sets shooting for the next season." On a related note, Panchayat Season 4, which premiered on June 24, picked up the story of Abhishek Tripathi, fondly known as Sachivji, in the village of Phulera. This season dives deeper into the political landscape, centering around the upcoming elections and the intensifying rivalry between Pradhan Ji and Bhushan. First Published:
