Bakaiti trailer: Rajesh Tailang, Sheeba Chaddha navigate middle-class struggles
Watch the trailer here: Speaking about the show, the director Ameet Guptha shared, "'Bakaiti' was born out of the kind of conversations we've all had around dining tables and on terrace steps—about space, sacrifice, and the quiet resilience that defines every Indian household. The aim was never to go big, but to go deep—to capture the small, seemingly insignificant moments that truly shape who we are as families."He further said, "We wanted the storytelling to feel lived-in and honest, with natural camera work, real-time conversations, and emotions that unfold without fanfare. Having Sheeba ji and Rajesh ji back together felt like magic—they brought a quiet depth and humour that beautifully elevated the soul of the Kataria family. I'm truly excited for the premiere on ZEE5 and can't wait for the show to reach homes across the country."Sharing her experience, actor Sheeba Chaddha said, "Being part of 'Bakaiti' felt like stepping into a world that's incredibly familiar yet rarely shown with such honesty.""The Kataria family reflects the unsaid love, everyday struggles, and quiet strength that define so many Indian homes. Playing Sushma reminded me how laughter and love can thrive even in the chaos. I'm thrilled to bring this relatable story to life with such a heartfelt team, she added.Actor Rajesh Tailang also shared, "'Bakaiti' is a story that feels lived-in, like a memory from your own past. Sanjay reminded me of so many fathers—silent providers, emotional anchors, and sometimes accidental comedians."Tailang is best known for his roles in 'Mukkabaaz', 'Aiyaary', 'Commando 3' (2019), 'Panga' (2020) and 'Ulajh' (2024).He further said, "There's beauty in the everyday, and this series captures it with so much heart. I feel grateful to reunite with Sheeba ji and work with a team that values nuance, humour, and the tender messiness of family life."Chaddha is known for featuring in films such as - 'Badhaai Ho' (2018), 'Badhaai Do' (2019), 'Bad Newz' (2024) and 'Baby John' (2024).'Bakaiti' will premiere on ZEE5 on August 1, 2025.- Ends

Khushi Kapoor Trolled For Saying She'd Debut With Ahaan Panday: 'Thank God It Didn't Work'
Last Updated: Saiyaara has turned out to be a massive hit and positioned Ahaan as one of the most promising newcomers in Bollywood. Ahaan Panday is currently enjoying his moment in the spotlight, thanks to his impressive debut in Saiyaara. Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, the musical romantic drama also marks the film debut of Aneet Padda. The film has turned out to be a massive hit and positioned Ahaan as one of the most promising newcomers in Bollywood. As his stardom rises, an old interview of Khushi Kapoor expressing her wish to debut opposite Ahaan has resurfaced and netizens have strong opinions. In a 2019 episode of Neha Dhupia's talk show, Khushi appeared with her sister Janhvi Kapoor. When asked which star kid she'd want to be paired opposite in her debut, the options were Aryan Khan, Ahaan Panday, and Meezaan Jaaferi. Khushi responded, 'I have only seen Ahaan act out of the three of them, so I guess it would be like, the safest option." Janhvi, however, rooted for Meezaan as Khushi's ideal co-star. Fast forward to 2023, Khushi made her debut in The Archies alongside Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, and her rumoured boyfriend Vedang Raina. Meanwhile, Ahaan debuted in Saiyaara, which crossed Rs 250 crore at the Indian box office and continues to grow. Now that both actors have found their footing in the industry, netizens have reacted to the viral clip. One user wrote, 'If Khushi was in Saiyaara it would have flopped. Aneet's acting was a major part of the success." Another commented, 'Thank godddd this did not work out!!! She would have ruined his debut." A fan added, '6 years old post. Now every nations actress would choose an Ahaan Panday film." As of now, both Ahaan and Khushi have not announced their next projects. Aryan Khan, however, is ready for his directorial debut with Netflix's The Ba**ds of Bollywood*. Here's wishing them all success ahead!

Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor's ancestral homes to turn into museums
In Pakistan's Peshawar city, officials have stated that the restoration and repair of the ancestral homes of renowned Indian actors Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor has begun on Monday. According to Dr. Abdus Samad, Director of Archaeology, the project is expected to be finished in two years at a cost of ₹70 million. Capital released to restore the aesthetics of these historic homes Funds for the project, which includes restoring the historic homes' strength and aesthetic appeal, have been provided by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government. The work, which aims to return the buildings to their original state, has been assigned to the Directorate of Archaeology and Museums. Both buildings will be transformed into museums honoring the lives and careers of the renowned actors by the provincial Archaeology Department. On July 13, 2014, Nawaz Sharif, the prime minister of Pakistan at the time, designated these homes as a national heritage site. The ancestral residences of Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor are situated in the ancient Qissa Khwani Bazaar in Peshawar, Pakistan. Constructed in the early 1900s, these iconic buildings recall the style of colonial architecture and have a strong connection to the early years of the renowned Bollywood actors. While India remembers Dilip Kumar as one of the best actors that India has ever seen, Kapoor is called the 'Showman'. Recently, Kapoor's 100th birth anniversary was also celebrated in the country where many of his iconic movies were re-released. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also spoken about this grand occasion and said, "Raj Kapoor's 100th birthday is an important milestone of India cinema's golden journey. It began with 1947's 'Neel Kamal' and we are on course to 2047. It is such a contribution to the country when we look back at this journey of 100 years," PM Modi said.
