Jamai No. 1's Abhishek Malik recreates Allu Arjun-inspired look from Pushpa 2; says 'I got goosebumps because the look is a complete replica'
Popular fiction drama Jamai No. 1 is set to serve viewers a visually arresting and emotionally charged twist as Neel (Abhishek Malik) transforms into a never-before-seen avatar of Goddess Kaali Maa—one that channels the iconic intensity of Allu Arjun 's look from Pushpa 2. In a first for Hindi television, the male lead steps into a divine and powerful form that blends cinematic flair with raw emotional gravitas. As the plot thickens with Riddhi's ( Simaran Kaur ) kidnapping and Neel's desperate mission to rescue her, viewers are in for a high-voltage visual experience. To bring this striking transformation to life, Abhishek's makeover is no small feat—it took close to two hours each day, with full-body paint, dramatic eye makeup, elaborate temple jewellery, and a traditionally draped saree completing the intense look. What truly ups the ante? Abhishek performed a stylised, high-energy action sequence in this avatar, engaging in combat while draped in the heavy ensemble, bringing together devotion, adrenaline, and drama in a way that's never been attempted before. Abhishek said, 'Honestly, I was genuinely thrilled when I first heard about this track and I was going to play as Goddess Kaali Ma. I got goosebumps because the look is a complete replica of Allu Arjun's iconic avatar from Pushpa 2—fierce, intense, and rooted in power. We did a look test, and the response was amazing. Everyone on set loved it, and I even got a call from our producer saying, 'This look was made for you.' That meant a lot to me. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo It's something completely out-of-the-box—something that's never been attempted on Indian television before. This is a high-octane track, and what makes it even more exciting is that there's a major fight sequence woven into it. It felt like those grand, stylised action scenes in Indian cinema. The transformation process itself was quite intense. It took nearly two hours to get into the avatar, from the body paint to the heavy saree and elaborate temple jewellery. Everything was detailed and weighty. Performing powerful action sequences in that look was physically exhausting, but also incredibly empowering.' He added, 'This is, without a doubt, one of the most challenging and creatively fulfilling sequences I've ever shot. This look is unlike anything the audience has seen before on Hindi GEC. Jamai No.1 has always pushed boundaries, and this track is a perfect example. We've been shooting this sequence for over two days, and just removing and reapplying the paint and makeup each time is a task in itself—but I truly hope the audience feels the emotion, energy, and effort we've put into it. ' While Abhishek is all set to be a part of this power-packed sequence in the show, it will be interesting for the viewers to watch what happens when Neel enters the courtroom with Riddhi in his Kaali Maa avatar just as the judge is about to announce a life sentence for him. Will he surrender himself, or will Riddhi find a way to save him from the false accusation? Muskuraane Ki Vajah Tum Ho actor Abhishek Malik shows his last clicked selfie on his phone

Explained: Why Sean ‘Diddy' Combs was acquitted of sex trafficking charges but found guilty of prostitution charges
Sean 'Diddy' Combs, the rap mogul who redefined hip-hop business empires in the 1990s and early 2000s, was found guilty on two federal counts of transporting women for prostitution on Wednesday but acquitted of the more serious sex-trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges. The verdict, delivered by a federal jury in New York after roughly 13 hours of deliberation, has left the entertainment industry stunned – both for its partial relief to Combs and for the stark portrait of his private life that prosecutors painted across seven weeks of testimony. Here is what Combs was charged with, what the jury decided, and what it all means. The Five Federal Counts Combs faced five federal charges: Racketeering Conspiracy (RICO) – prosecutors alleged that Combs ran his entertainment companies as a criminal enterprise to commit crimes such as sex-trafficking, bribery, obstruction of justice, and intimidation. Sex Trafficking of Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura – his former long-term girlfriend, alleging that Combs coerced her into commercial sex acts. Sex Trafficking of an unnamed woman ('Jane') – similar allegations involving another victim. Transportation to Engage in Prostitution (Casandra Ventura) – alleging that Combs transported Ventura across state lines for the purpose of prostitution. Transportation to Engage in Prostitution ('Jane') – similar allegations involving the unnamed woman. The Verdict Not Guilty of Racketeering conspiracy Not Guilty of Sex trafficking of Casandra Ventura Not Guilty of Sex trafficking of 'Jane' Guilty of Transportation to engage in prostitution (Casandra Ventura) Guilty of Transportation to engage in prostitution ('Jane') What These Charges Mean 1. Racketeering Conspiracy (RICO) The RICO charge was the linchpin of the prosecution's theory: that Combs operated as a criminal kingpin, not merely a musician with a dark private life. Prosecutors argued that Combs used his companies, including Bad Boy Records, as fronts to orchestrate illegal activities such as sex trafficking, intimidation, and bribery, with the help of bodyguards, managers, and associates. However, RICO is notoriously difficult to prove without evidence showing organised, ongoing criminal enterprise beyond isolated incidents. The jury evidently did not see a strong enough pattern to convict. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Also read: Diddy convicted on prostitution charges; cleared on sex trafficking counts 2. Sex Trafficking (Casandra Ventura and 'Jane') Under US federal law, sex trafficking requires proof that a defendant used 'force, fraud, or coercion' to compel someone to engage in commercial sex. During the trial, Cassie Ventura described harrowing abuse: Being raped by Combs in 2018 after their breakup Physical assault in hotel corridors (including CCTV footage from 2016) Forced participation in multi-day drug-fuelled 'freak-offs' Threats to release compromising videos Having to carry his firearms, which terrified her Similarly, 'Jane' described being coerced into sexual acts as part of Combs' private parties. Despite this testimony, the jury acquitted Combs on both sex trafficking counts, suggesting they did not find sufficient legal evidence of coercion rising to the level required for federal sex trafficking convictions. His defence argued all sexual encounters were consensual and part of what they called a 'swingers lifestyle.' 3. Transportation to Engage in Prostitution This charge – the one for which Combs was convicted – does not require proof of force, fraud, or coercion. Prosecutors needed only to prove that Combs transported women across state lines with the intent that they engage in prostitution. The jury found him guilty of transporting both Ventura and 'Jane' for this purpose, a federal crime carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years per count. Key Moments From the Trial Cassie Ventura's testimony included allegations that Combs once dangled her friend Bryana Bongolan from a 17th-floor balcony in a rage. Bongolan corroborated this in court. Kid Cudi ( Scott Mescudi ) testified that Combs broke into his house after learning he was dating Cassie, and that his car was later firebombed with a molotov cocktail. Ventura's mother paid Combs $20,000 after he complained about Cassie dating Kid Cudi. Former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard testified to seeing Combs physically abuse Ventura. A former employee testified Combs once forced her to accompany him to Kid Cudi's home, threatening to kill the rapper. Throughout the trial, the prosecution painted Combs as an abusive manipulator who used his wealth and fame to silence victims. The defence countered that these were consensual adult encounters twisted into criminal allegations. Why Did The Jury Acquit on Trafficking But Convict on Prostitution? The split verdict suggests the jury believed some of the women's accounts but did not find that the government proved coercion beyond reasonable doubt. In contrast, the prostitution transport charges only required proof that he arranged interstate travel for sex acts in exchange for something of value. The Maximum Sentence Combs now faces up to 20 years in prison, with sentencing dates yet to be set. Federal prosecutors have indicated they will seek the maximum penalty. The final decision rests with Judge Arun Subramanian. Combs' legal team is pushing for his release from federal detention pending sentencing, but given the nature of the convictions and testimony about intimidation of witnesses, release remains uncertain. What Next For Diddy? This verdict may be the beginning rather than the end of Combs' legal troubles: Multiple civil suits, including from Cassie Ventura, are pending. Federal prosecutors could seek to refile dismissed or acquitted charges under state laws or pursue other linked cases. His businesses – from music royalties to spirits brands – are expected to see severe fallout, with boycotts and contractual terminations likely. For now, Combs, once the face of aspirational black capitalism in America, remains incarcerated, stripped of his empire's sheen. The jury's decision has spared him the life sentence possibilities of sex trafficking convictions – but with two federal felonies on record and a sentencing judge unbound by minimum terms, his future remains in grave jeopardy.
