Meet family where films, swimming medals, and cricket caps go hand in hand, the legacy of Thalaivasal Vijay.
Not every actor fades after the credits roll. Some quietly build empires off-screen. 'Thalaivasal' Vijay, a familiar face from Tamil cinema's golden '90s, is one such name. Known for his deeply rooted performances, he's the kind of actor who might not grab the poster space but ends up staying in memory longer than the leads. It all started with Thalaivasal in 1992. From there, Vijay became a staple in films like Thevar Magan, Mahanadhi, and the evergreen Kadhal Kottai — especially the iconic 'Vyyathe Sakothara' song, where his dance became the talk of the town. With over 200 films under his belt across Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Hindi, Vijay became the master of meaningful roles, the friend, the father, the silent game-changer. Who is his daughter, and why is she in the news? While Vijay made a name through cinema, his daughter Jayaveena chose the pool. A record-breaking swimmer, she clinched a medal at the South Asian Swimming Championships in Nepal and was once crowned 'India's Fastest Swimmer.' She has represented the country multiple times and made Tamil Nadu proud. And what about the son-in-law? The athletic streak runs strong in this family. Jayaveena is married to Baba Aparajith, Tamil Nadu's cricket star and a former IPL player. He played a crucial part in India's victorious Under-19 World Cup campaign in 2012. The couple, both rooted in sport, tied the knot a few years ago and continue to thrive in their respective fields. Does Vijay still follow sports? Absolutely. Known to be a sports enthusiast since childhood, Vijay still loves tuning into sports channels at home. With a swimmer daughter and a cricketer son-in-law, his evenings are probably full of highlight reels and proud smiles.

Just a day after eight contestants were nominated for the week's eviction, a teaser released by the makers hints at yet another explosive twist, an open nomination task that could lead to a spot eviction. In the latest promo, contestant Bincy is seen reading out a task letter from Bigg Boss , which asks the housemates to nominate someone they believe does not deserve to stay in the house. The twist? The letter clearly states that the result of this task will lead to an eviction, possibly an immediate one. In the teaser, Aryan is seen nominating Shanavas, making a sharp comment: "He tries to portray himself as Rudran, the villain from his serial, but to me, he feels more like a cat." Gizele, who was already nominated earlier, targeted Sarika, saying, "This is Bigg Boss, not a place to act like a mother-in-law." Rena too jumped into the action, stating she doesn't think Nevin fits the Bigg Boss image and is only trying to be an entertainer. Nevin, unfazed, snapped back, saying, 'I'm here because I am an entertainer.' This bold move comes right after a fiery episode that saw emotional breakdowns and heated accusations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Earlier, Aneesh Tharayil had accused Sarika of being fake and lacking a personality, referring to her work in scripted interviews.

Netizens react as Anup Jalota says he was NEVER in a romantic relationship with Jasleen Matharu, call it 'safed jhooth'
and 's entry into Bigg Boss 12 sparked a media frenzy, with widespread speculation about the nature of their relationship. At the time, headlines were ablaze with the idea that the veteran singer and the much-younger Jasleen were romantically involved. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, Jalota has now set the record straight, denying any romantic connection and asserting that Jasleen's onstage revelation about their so-called relationship was entirely fabricated. In a recent interview that has now gone viral, Jalota addressed the claims head-on, stating, "I was never romantically involved with Jasleen," and accused her of lying during the show's premiere. He recounted the moment, "I entered the stage and met Salman Khan. Then, Jasleen was welcomed as my partner. When Salman asked if she was my shishya, she said that she had been in a relationship with me for three years. I thought, 'Yeh kya ho gaya?' We never even knew each other that well. " The internet, however, is far from convinced. Netizens have begun criticizing Jalota, calling out what they perceive as inconsistencies in his narrative. One user sarcastically wrote, 'Jalota ka jhooth jaante hue bhi pehli baar Saurabh anjaan banne ki acting kar rahe hain.' Another pointedly said, 'Phir game ke andar aapne kya-kya kiya, sabne dekha tha, sir." While a third simply added, 'He is lying." A more biting remark read, 'Jalota ji ki itni saaf chhavi hai ki yahan bhi saaf safed jhooth hi bol rahe hain, log sab samajhte hain. ' Explaining how the Bigg Boss opportunity came about, Jalota shared in a conversation with Lallantop, 'She once told me that she received an offer to participate in Bigg Boss. I said, that's great, you will earn fame. She used to dance in groups and sing at that time.' He further elaborated, 'But there was a condition that you could only come as a weird pair that season. I asked her to take ji, but she told me he had declined. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Even I said no, I won't go. I didn't have time, there were so many concerts. Her father came and convinced me. I said yes, but only on one condition—that we would go as guru and shishya. She agreed." Jalota expressed his surprise at how things played out on stage, suggesting that there may have been some behind-the-scenes manipulation. 'I was shocked, but I thought this might be part of the game, kisi ne toh use yeh padhaaya hoga bolne ke liye. When we were going inside, I asked her about it. Main samajh gaya tha isse kuch game banta hai, ya toh Bigg Boss waalon ne bola hoga, usse ek afwaah uthti hai. I never confronted her. Main samajh gaya tha ki peeche koi khel hua hai, shayad uska use koi fayda hi hoga, and she benefitted." In an attempt to clear the air once the controversy snowballed, Jalota said he arranged a press conference with Jasleen's father. Together, they addressed the media to put all rumours to rest. 'We told them that both of us have decided that we will do the kanyadaan at Jasleen's wedding. Ab sawaal konsa rahega poochne wala? Baat hi khatam ho gayi." He concluded by noting that their complete lack of public appearances together beyond the show—no parties, no vacations, no joint performances—should have been evidence enough that there was never any truth to the relationship claims.
