I can only be grateful for it,' she said. Seema is currently dating her former fiancé Vikram Ahuja. She confirmed the same in the third season of Bollywood Wives vs Fabulous Lives on Netflix.

Singer Mahesh Kale on celebrating Ashadi Ekadashi: Singing abhangs is my way of walking to Pandharpur, in spirit
This Sunday (July 6) marks Ashadi Ekadashi, a major festival in Maharashtra and a significant day for the Warkari sect that culminates in a pilgrimage to the Vitthal temple in Pandharpur. To mark the festival, Indian classical singer Mahesh Kale will take the stage in Mumbai and Pune as part of his concert series, titled Abhangwari. Sharing how the shows will be a homage to the spirit of Ashadi Ekadashi, Mahesh says, 'My concerts are woven around the idea of the pilgrimage that happens during Ashadi Ekadashi. So, being able to do the concert, to me, is like walking towards God, but in music. It will also mark a celebration of the spirit of the warkaris.' Mahesh Kale The singer participated in the walk to Pandharpur last year for the pilgrimage. Speaking about it, he says, 'Walking in the wari was surreal, especially because I had travelled 30-odd hours right before I started to walk. You usually feel fatigued after a long international travel, but I was super energised. That environment and energy is hard to explain. I also got to sing with the warkaris in the pilgrimage. That experience will stay with me forever. I wish I could do wari every single year. Abhangwari is my way of going to Pandharpur in spirit. Mahesh performs concerts that are high on devotional music from Maharashtra across the world. Sharing what drew him to abhangs and why he felt the need to take it beyond the realm of his home state, the vocalist, who would be rendering abhangs like Abir Gulal, Kanada Raja Pandharicha, Sukhache Je Sukh and the Abhangwari title track at the shows, shares: 'I grew up in an atmosphere where abhangs were a part of our life. Every Thursday and Sunday, my father would take the family to a congregation of bhajan in a mandal. Hence, just like Indian classical music, abhang is my happy place. So if I feel a bigger diaspora can find solace and happiness in it, then why restrict it to borders and language? That's why I'm not just performing in Maharashtra, but also in Delhi, Kolkata, Indore, Bengaluru, and Chennai. While he is looking forward to seeing the seasoned classical music aficionados in the audience, he's also sure that young listeners would drop by too: 'I see a lot of youth representation in my concerts, and I'm grateful for that. Of course, I get a lot of aashirvaad from the older generation, but I'm also very excited that the youth is coming to these concerts, because the more number of young people attending such shows, the longer the tradition will be upheld.' Mahesh will perform in Mumbai on July 5 at Shanmukhananda Hall, Sion, 6.30pm onwards and in Pune on July 6 at Mahalaxmi Lawns, Karve Nagar, 6.30pm onwards.

Hania Aamir, Fawad Khan And Mahira Khan's Instagram Still Banned After Mawra Hocane's Unblocked
Last Updated: After the Pahalgam terror attack, Instagram accounts of Pakistani celebrities like Mawra Hocane, Yumna Zaidi, and Ahad Raza Mir were blocked in India. In the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, several Pakistani celebrities found their Instagram accounts temporarily inaccessible to users in India. The blocks appeared to coincide with posts or discussions related to the attack and Operation Sindoor, India's response to the incident. Among those whose accounts were blocked were prominent Pakistani actors and influencers whose profiles suddenly became unavailable to Indian audiences. However, it now appears that some of these accounts have been quietly restored and are once again viewable from India. Accounts such as Mawra Hocane (best known to Indian audiences for Sanam Teri Kasam alongside Harshvardhan Rane), Yumna Zaidi, Ahad Raza Mir, and Danish Taimoor are now accessible again. All of these profiles had earlier become invisible to Indian users following the tensions triggered by the Pahalgam attack. Hania Aamir, Fawad Khan And Mahira Khan Accounts Still Blocked What remains to be seen is whether other Pakistani celebrities—including Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, and Hania Aamir—will also have their accounts restored in India. As of now, their profiles still remain inaccessible to Indian users. Indian users trying to access the accounts are met with a message saying: 'Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content." Other celebrities affected by the action include Ali Zafar, Ayeza Khan, Sanam Saeed, Maya Ali, and Iqra Aziz Hussain. These actors, widely popular among Indian audiences for their performances and social media presence, are no longer visible to millions of followers in the country. The Government of India had issued an advisory to OTT platforms, media streaming services, and intermediaries regarding content originating from Pakistan in the wake of the Pahalgam attck. All streaming platforms were advised to discontinue Pakistan-origin content, including films, web series, songs, and podcasts, with immediate effect. The advisory references the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, highlighting that publishers must avoid content that affects India's sovereignty and integrity.
