The upcoming show produced by Pradeep Kumar and Rajesh Ram Singh will see Harshita essay the character of Ramneek — an ambitious and driven woman influenced heavily by her mother's ideals. Speaking about her return, she said, "I'm super excited to make my comeback after a long time, and stepping into a negative shade on television for the first time makes it even more thrilling."
Harshita shared that post-Molkki, which aired for a brief period in early 2023, she had to step away from work to focus on her health.
'It wasn't an easy phase, but it taught me a lot about strength and patience,' she said, adding that she now feels stronger and more ready than ever to return to acting.
Describing her role, she said, 'Ramneek is a highly ambitious woman… sharp, calculated, and isn't afraid to cross lines to achieve what she wants.' The show is set against a Punjabi cultural backdrop.
The show Jhalee Ki Kahani also stars Pratham Kunwar, Apeksha Malviya, and Isha Kaloya.

While the essence of the festival remains consistent, its observance showcases a rich tapestry of regional variations that add to the cultural diversity of India. Here's a glimpse into how different regions celebrate Hariyali Teej. Despite the differences in celebration styles, the underlying essence of Hariyali Teej remains the same—celebrating love, devotion, and the joy of the monsoon season. 1. Rajasthan In Rajasthan, Hariyali Teej is a grand affair. Women dress in vibrant green clothes, symbolizing fertility and prosperity. The celebration includes singing traditional folk songs, dancing, and applying intricate mehndi (henna) designs on their hands.

Processions featuring beautifully adorned idols of Goddess Parvati are taken out, accompanied by folk music and dance. 2. Uttar Pradesh In Uttar Pradesh, particularly in the Braj region (Mathura and Vrindavan), Hariyali Teej is celebrated with devotional fervor. The festivities include singing songs dedicated to Lord Krishna and Radha, as the region has a deep association with their divine love.

Special prayers and rituals are conducted in temples, and sweets like ghewar and malpua are prepared and distributed among friends and family. 3. Haryana Haryana's Hariyali Teej is marked by traditional rituals and community gatherings. Women perform a series of fasts and rituals to seek the blessings of Goddess Parvati for marital bliss and well-being.

Cultural programs, including folk dances like ghoomar, and fairs add to the festive spirit. 4. Punjab In Punjab, Hariyali Teej is celebrated with a blend of joy and devotion. The festival is called 'Teej' and is a day for women to enjoy themselves, free from their daily chores. They dress in bright green attire, apply mehndi, and adorn themselves with traditional jewelry.

Swings are set up in courtyards and gardens, where women and girls enjoy swinging while singing and making merry. 5. Bihar In Bihar, Hariyali Teej is celebrated with a focus on rituals and fasting. Married women observe a day-long fast without consuming water, praying for the long life and prosperity of their husbands. The fast is broken in the evening after performing puja (worship) of Goddess Parvati. The festivities include folk songs, traditional dances, and the application of mehndi. It is also customary for women to receive gifts from their in-laws and maternal homes. 6.

The festival is an opportunity for women to socialize and celebrate together, strengthening community bonds. 7. Maharashtra In Maharashtra, Hariyali Teej is observed more subtly compared to the northern states. Women still engage in traditional rituals, including fasting and prayers for marital bliss.

Prada heels or Rajasthani juttis?: Netizens rage over luxury brand's latest launch
Image credits: X It seems the world's fascination with Indian history and culture is becoming more and more obvious to luxury brands, which are not only catering to the Indian audiences but also enriching Western fashion with touches of Indian ones. After the very viral and much-debated row over Kolhapuri-inspired sandals featured in Prada's Men's Spring/Summer 2026 show, luxury fashion brand Prada is under the netizens' lens once again. The brand recently released new Antiqued Leather Pumps that Indian netizens believe are strikingly similar to the traditional Rajasthani juttis. The design described as 'original and unconventional' seems similar to the traditional Indian footwear despite smart tweaks in the form of heels, pointed toes, visible stitching for the 'pre-worn' feel and leather. Similar to the previous incident, Prada has alluded to no connection or credit to the Indian craft, which it seems to have copied off. Netizens react to Prada's pre-worn heels Image credits: X People on the internet were quick to compare the Italian luxe label's design to that of the classic Rajasthani juttis. With Prada making no such clarifications, they have been blaming the brand for another row of copying. "Prada has done it again. After copying Kolhapuris, they have now taken Rajasthani leather juttis as is and added heels to them," wrote a person on X. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Find out: this is how you clean your yoga mat! Kingdom Of Men Undo "Prada releases 'antiqued leather pumps' similar to Punjabi juttis after row over Kolhapuris," added another, comparing the design to Punjabi juttis. "Not just Dior. Prada ripped both Kolhapuri Chappals and Punjabi Juttis," and "Funny how it's 'unconventional' when it's Prada, but 'ethnic' when it's us. The jutti walked so this heel could strut. Give credit, not just couture", added others. The heels resemble the Indian footwear with their leather use, visible stitching and even colour shades, thus sparking the online criticism. This instance, combined with the previous Kolhapuri sandals, has brought into the limelight the lack of accountability by luxury brands, where they avoid giving appropriate credit where it is due.

The Punjabi film, which can be called Punjab's version of Saiyaara (or more appropriately Arjun Reddy/Kabir Singh/Tere Naam), left many heartbroken.
