Some series and serials give identity to stars which never fades off. Something similar happened with Aasif Khan. If the name doesn't ring a bell, then let us tell you the man is known for one of the hit series Panchayat. If you think it is Jitendra, Ashok Pathak, Raghubir Yadav or Faisal Khan, then your guesses are completely wrong. The man in discussion is the famous Aasif Khan.
Aasif had humble beginnings. Over the years, the actor starred in various series including Mirzapur, Panchayat, Paatal Lok, Jamtara, Pagglait, and Human. He gained massive recognition for his dialogue, 'Gajjab Bezzati hai Yaar,' in Panchayat, giving him the name and fame he deserved. Aasif Khan Heart Attack News
Recently, Aasif made headlines when news of his heart attack surfaced online. According to reports, Aasif Khan suffered a heart attack and was rushed to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital. He received the needed treatment and the 34-year-old actor is stable now. When Aasif Khan Served Food at Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor's Wedding
Yes, while this may sound absurd, not many people know that Aasif once served food at Saif and Kareena's wedding. When he came to Mumbai, he started working in a mall. However, later, he worked in the kitchen department of a hotel, which hosted Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor's wedding reception. Aasif Khan Faced Rejection
When Aasif tried his luck in the industry, he faced massive rejections. One of the producers heavily criticised his looks and height. However, instead of taking that rejection negatively, he took it in a positive way and worked on his skills. He later returned to Mumbai to pursue his dreams in the entertainment industry once again and landed a job as a casting assistant.

As Masaan turns 10, Shweta Tripathi discusses why it's relevance will never fade

Tu kisi rail si guzarti hai, main kisi pull sa thartharata hoon! These lines stay with you when you watch director Neeraj Ghaywan's hit film, 'Masaan'. The film, starring Richa Chadha, Vicky Kaushal, and Shweta Tripathi in the lead, created a tapestry of bruised and broken lives set against a 5,000-year-old backdrop: the city of Varanasi (Banaras). As the movie clocked a decade, Shweta Tripathi looked back on her journey with the film in an exclusive interaction with talking to us, the actor got nostalgic and shared how the film remains socially relevant even after 10 years. Tripathi, who marked her debut with the movie, said, 'The film is socially relevant, it was relevant in the past, it's relevant today, and it will continue to be relevant in the future because we bring about change through art and storytelling. It's important to keep doing this, whether it's creating cracks where needed or filling them to heal; the idea is to make people feel. I consider this an ongoing process, and I feel lucky, happy, blessed, and all things amazing that 'Masaan' chose me. This is something I deeply believe in.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shweta Tripathi (@battatawada) She added, 'Our society still has this common mindset - if a woman talks about pleasure, the reaction is very different. Pleasure, after all, is such a natural and beautiful thing. Devi's (Richa Chadha) character simply wants to explore that curiosity, yet she's punished for it. Back then, I had no idea about everything we were trying to portray in the movie, which is why I love my younger self.'The actor, who portrayed Vicky Kaushal's love interest, Shalu, in the film, fondly recalled the moment they learned about the movie's premiere at the Cannes International Film Festival and the overwhelming love it would go on to receive.'We were in Varanasi when we got the news, and it was introducing Vicky Kaushal and Shweta Tripathi to the big screen. First love is first love, but jo hota hai (whatever happens), we were very calm. We didn't know what to expect, and then just the wave of love and appreciation that came, everything is really special for us,' she added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shweta Tripathi (@battatawada)Tripathi laughed, reminisced about the beautiful phase of her career, and got emotional in the interview. The actor went on to play prominent roles in projects like 'Mirzapur' and 'Raat Akeli Hai' after 'Masaan' reflected on one of the prominent scenes from the film. It was filmed alongside Kaushal and pictured the two enjoying a local said, "'Masaan' is like that laal gubbara (a symbol of innocent, budding love in the scene) throughout my life. In fact, in that scene (the fair), we performed without looking at our dialogues. I understood Shalu. Every day, I used to wear bangles and bindi - I became Shalu. I even got attached to poetry because of Shalu, because she was introduced to the same in the film.'While 'Masaan' shows a city wrapped in traditions, and also makes several cinematic commentaries on love, class and culture, it also remains a poignant take on love that's innocent and resilient. The film's story unfolds along India's sacred river Ganga, following four individuals bound by a rigid moral code as they confront societal award-winning film weaves together two heart-wrenching tales, focusing on Deepak (Vicky Kaushal), who falls in love with an upper-caste girl, Devi (Richa Chadha). It also features Sanjay Mishra, Pankaj Tripathi and Vineet Kumar, among others, in important roles. The film was written by Varun Grover, and produced by Anurag Kashyap.- Ends IN THIS STORY#Vicky Kaushal

This 3-season crime-thriller series will make blood rush through your veins, Ram Kapoor and Chunky Panday play psycho killers, IMDb rating is 8; name is…

In the vast landscape of Hindi crime thrillers, titles like Mirzapur, Undekhi, Kaala, Marzi, and Damaged have carved a niche with their gripping narratives and intense performances. These series delve deep into the human psyche, exploring themes of morality, justice, and the blurred lines between right and wrong. Amidst these, one particular series stands out for its unique portrayal of a detective's journey through the darkest corners of crime. Which series is this? Here we are talking about 'Abhay,' a ZEE5 Original, which introduces viewers to SP Abhay Pratap Singh, portrayed by Kunal Kemmu. This psychological crime thriller follows Abhay, an officer with a criminal mind, who is willing to go to any extent to solve a case. The series, directed by Ken Ghosh, has spanned three seasons, each unraveling complex cases and showcasing Abhay's relentless pursuit of justice. Season 3, in particular, sees Abhay confronting a mysterious cult responsible for a series of gruesome murders, adding layers of suspense and intrigue to the narrative. What does Abhay offer to its viewers? The ensemble cast includes notable actors such as Ram Kapoor and Chunky Pandey, who take on antagonist roles, adding depth to the storyline. The series has been praised for its gritty storytelling, intense performances, and the ability to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. With its dark themes and complex characters, Abhay offers a compelling watch for fans of the crime thriller genre. The first season of Abhay is inspired by India's most popular Nithari case, in which Abhay solves the mystery of the disappearance of children. Raghav Juyal also appears in the role of a psycho killer in an episode of the second season of Abhay. The audience found this season less attractive than the first season. But Kunal's acting and the cinematography of series by Hari. K. Vedantam were appreciated. More about Abhay The third season of 'Abhay' streamed in April 2022. Vijay Raaz appeared as a villain in it. The story of Aghoris was shown in the series. Vijay appeared in the role of Baba of Kali Shakti. Apart from Kunal Khemu, Asha Negi and Nidhi Singh are also in this season and again, there are many serial killings in the series along with many gruesome sequences. The final IMDB rating of all the seasons has been summed up to 8.0, which is currently streaming on Zee5.

Nakul Roshan Sahdev: I never really paid attention to the insider vs outsider debate

Nakul Roshan Sahdev, known for his roles in 'Gully Boy' and 'Pagglait,' is making his debut as a lead in 'Murderbaad.' Nakul Roshan Sahdev debuted as a lead for the film Murderbaad . Sharing his excitement for it, he says, 'What drew me to the script was Jayesh's character arc and how he constantly blurs the line between right and wrong. I imagined Jayesh's inner struggle—how his condition isolates him and keeps him from truly connecting with society. " Despite having no industry connections, Nakul has made a space for himself with performances in Gully Boy and Pagglait. 'I've always been clear about what I want to do in life. I never really paid attention to the insider vs. outsider debate. I'm here to take cinema to the next level—not just to be part of something or some group. The relationships I've built along the way have become my chosen family. Even if they stop making films tomorrow, they'll still be my people. My relationships aren't transactional—they're built on genuine connection.' As someone with no backing or connections in Bollywood, what kept you going through the quieter phases of your career? "I dream, I achieve. It's that simple. Whatever I've dreamt of, I've made it happen. And I'll keep doing that. I never focus on the aftermath or the results—I just do what I want to do. That's what keeps me going."
