Stepping into a character mid-way comes with its own set of challenges, but I see it as an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to a story that has already touched so many hearts. I've always been drawn to stories with emotional depth and strong female leads, and the moment I read about Chandrika's character, I felt an immediate connection.
She's a layered, dignified woman, someone who leads with quiet strength and conviction.
I hope to bring my own interpretation while staying true to the essence that audiences have connected with.'
She added, 'Chandrika isn't just the matriarch of the Chauhan family, she's a woman who places discipline above emotion and upholds order with grace. Portraying someone with such emotional complexity and unwavering principles has been one of the most creatively fulfilling experiences of my career. I truly hope the audience embraces my portrayal as Chandrika's journey unfolds in the episodes to come.'
Producer Arvind Babbal said, 'It has been a pleasure working with Nausheen Ali Sardar. She brought grace and dignity to the role of Chandrika Singh Chauhan. We are truly thankful and wish her all the very best. As we move ahead, we are delighted to welcome Parineeta Borthakur to the cast. She is a thoughtful and talented actor, and since coming on board, she has shown a deep understanding of Chandrika's layered persona.
Her ability to show strength and emotion with elegance makes her an ideal choice for this role. We are confident that her performance will truly resonate with the audience.'
With Parineeta stepping into the shoes of Chandrika, viewers can expect a seamless continuation of the matriarch's pivotal role as the drama intensifies. Will Chandrika's presence hold the family together as tensions rise? Can Vasudha withstand the next wave of conflict?

Princess Diana's 'super healthy' breakfast revealed by her former chef and it's a current social media favourite
Image credits: Getty Images Years after her tragic death, Princess Diana lives on in the hearts of her many followers and fans. The Princess who died at the young age of 36, was known for her fit physique, glowing beauty and trend-setting fashion choices. Thus, her personality has remained one of interest for people to date. Almost 30 years after her demise, her former chef has revealed what the Princess ate every day for breakfast. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, former royal cook Darren McGrady said that Diana began her day by eating a nutritious meal of overnight oats after discovering them on a trip to Switzerland in the 1990s. He shared that she ate it 'every day' or on 'most mornings' at Kensington Palace. Appreciating the nutritional breakfast, he said it was 'healthy and packed with protein and nutrients', which is the reason why modern-day celebrities and influencers are gaga over it. From Gwyneth Paltrow to Victoria Beckham, various A-listers have shared their affinity for the meal over the last couple of years. Darren began the video by explaining that the princess was 'looking the best she ever did' during the days he cooked overnight oats and other meals for her. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 21st Century Skills Start with Confident Communication Planet Spark Learn More Undo He also shared his recipe in the caption of the clip, which included blueberries and walnuts as ingredients. 'She was now eating healthy - her go-to breakfast was something called overnight oats,' he said. 'Now today, overnight oats are popular. Everybody is eating them, but they date back to 2012.' 'That's when you couldn't go on social media without seeing a recipe for overnight oats. But Princess Diana was eating overnight oats almost 20 years earlier, in 1993.' Diana, as per the chef, found the dish in Switzerland, where they were called 'bircher muesli' and were invented by a Swiss nutritionist who thought they were 'really, really good and all the ingredients were super, super healthy.' He joked that the princess stole the recipe and returned to Britain, where she asked him to make them for breakfast 'every day'. According to the expert, while the breakfast can be eaten hot, its cold version places the dish on 'another level' and makes it taste 'amazing.' What is Princess Diana's recipe for overnight oats? Image credits: YouTube/Darren McGrady Darren moved on to share the recipe for the oats. 'Start off by steeping the oats- that means adding liquid to them. I use rolled oats.' He advised against using quick oats or any other type of oats, as rolled oats are the best. To steep the oats, he added a freshly squeezed jug of orange juice to them. 'Cover them [the oats] with plastic and then put them in the refrigerator and leave them overnight... overnight oats.' After pulling out the overnight oats, he mixed them together and added a pot of yogurt and a drop of honey to them. Lastly, he added half a honey crisp apple, juice of one lemon, a cup of fresh blueberries and 1/2 a cup of walnuts. 'This is the classic traditional dish that Princess Diana had for breakfast every morning,' he claimed. 'I have to admit when I was making this for Princess Diana every morning at Kensington Palace, it was so good, I actually used to double the recipe so that the chef got it too,' he joked.

'If you can send people to Mars...': LA residents protest against Elon Musk's Tesla diner; constant honking, massive traffic
Hollywood residents say their life has become hell since Elon Musk's Tesla diner opened on July 21. Elon Musk's Tesla Diner in Hollywood has already rattled the LA residents as they say their life has become absolutely hell since the retro-futuristic diner opened next door on July 21. There is a massive traffic gridlock, and as the diner is open 24X7, there is constant honking but the residents have been experiencing all of it since the construction began. 'Even with the blinds closed, it feels like we're at the world's worst rave,' Kristin Rose, a local, wrote in an email to Tesla and the building manager before moving out of her apartment. The construction began in 2023, and the work went on six days a week, starting as early as 4am. Now that it opened, the suffering doubled with emissions, noise coming out of the diner. Some residents claimed that their views got blocked by the diner's one of the two 45-foot movie screens. "If you can send people to Mars, you should be able to figure out how to make this doable for residents," Laura Kody, another local, said to ABC7. "We were really excited for the supercharger station; we thought it would bring good business to the area, but it has caused insane gridlock from 1 pm to 1 am," a Hollywood resident said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ranked: The Most Stunning Underrated Coastal Getaways in Europe Learn More Undo "The gridlock is insane. I can imagine that if there's an emergency or something, an ambulance would literally not be able to get to us and that's extremely concerning for me because my parents are elderly," she added. Anti-Tesla protesters added to the noise this weekend as they were there in front of the diner with signs reading 'Fuck Nazi Billionaires' and 'Boycott Tesla'. 11-hour wait for Tesla burgers and fries Musk's idea of a 'old school drive-in, roller skates & rock restaurant' goes back to 2018 when he proposed this. Since opening on Monday, the retro-futuristic diner with electric vehicle-charging stations has had long lines of customers who are served burgers in Cybertruck-designed boxes. One customer posted to YouTube that he waited 11 hours for the restaurant to open.

Travis Kelce's Eccentric ‘Happy Gilmore 2' Instincts Went Viral As Veteran Producer Spills the Beans
Travis Kelce in Happy Gilmore 2: Image via X Travis Kelce has just proved that he's as good an actor as he is a TE on the field. The 35-year-old's unique cameo shot in Happy Gilmore 2 made the top-notch superstars a little insecure about their careers. The Sandman, Adam Sandler , didn't hold back while praising the athlete's incredible screen presence. Adam told reporters that the way Travis managed to take those risky bear attacks with spontaneity looked nothing less than a veteran superstar's resilience. The Chiefs' poster boy was fun, chilled, and super poised about his tasks. Ever wondered where he gets that happy-go-lucky spirit from? Well, that's what a beauty sleep during the shooting intervals does to you. Travis Kelce's wacky habits made him stand out among the Happy Gilmore 2 cast Travis joined a long list of renowned faces in the industry, including Bad Bunny , Scottie Scheffler, and Eminem. But he is perhaps the weirdest in the set, doing his work without going by any code or rules. Chadd Mumm, a co-producer on the movie and Full Swing executive, revealed that the NFL superstar recharged himself from time to time, taking short power naps. 'The only thing he had in his trailer was this massive, like Eight Sleep bed, and he would literally go take a nap after filming,'' Mumm said of Kelce during his conversation with Bachelor Nation alum Wells Adams. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Watching Videos Can Boost Your Income TheDaddest Undo 'He'd film a scene and then everyone would go to lunch,' the veteran producer added. 'And instead of lunch, he would just take an hour-long nap, and then he would go, come back, film again. Then go back to sleep.' But when he woke up, he used to quickly switch to his full spirit. Travis Kelce turned the Happy Gilmore 2 set into a high school common room with hilarious botches Travis was hilariously off-the-cuff in his shirtless scene where Bad Bunny (Oscar Mejías) launched a revenge on his former boss, smearing honey all over his chest before leaving him bare for a wild bear attack. Seeing him perform it to perfection, Adam reminisced about his shirtless high school buddies. When the actor wrapped in the bear's costume came out of nowhere amidst the scene, it caught Kelce off guard and sparked a laughing spree on the set. All the fun and banter made the process as effortless as breathing in the fresh air. 'Travis is such a gentle, nice guy, and funny as hell,' Sandler told Entertainment Tonight. 'He's like the guys I grew up with. When I was with Travis, it reminded me of my buddies in high school and just being able to laugh and say the things you want to say.'' You might see the occasional actor get back on the screen again anytime soon, given how fans root for it, but before that, he has more to give to the NFL field in the Chiefs' jersey. The pre-season practice is on, and Travis is already on a roll to start on a high note.
