Rathi and Reena. The excitement isn't limited to the audience alone — the cast is equally thrilled to bring the new season to life, especially actress Anumol, who portrays the beloved Dr. Rathi. ETimes caught up with
for an exclusive glimpse into her excitement ahead of the big premiere.
"When I was reading the script, with every passing scene, even though I'm part of the project, I couldn't help but feel curious about what would happen next.
I know the fans are eagerly waiting for certain plot twists in the series, and I can't wait to reveal it all to them. I'm just as excited to see how they'll react to it," Anumol shares.
When asked about the much-awaited storylines, including the Reena-Rathi duo and Rathi's love story, Anumol admitted with a laugh, 'Even I'm eagerly waiting for all that!' Her response only adds to the growing anticipation among fans.
'We're introducing some new characters this season.
There are fresh interns joining RK Hospital, and some of our former interns have now become senior residents. As shown in the promo, Reena is back at RK Hospital, and it's going to be really interesting to see how her equation with Dr. Rathi evolves. Also, the once-hidden secret is now out in the open, so watching how they both face the world will be quite gripping. And yes, just like the fans, I keep asking the makers about Dr.

Rathi's love story too! I'm bursting to share all of this with the audience.'
Speaking about the immense popularity of the series, Anumol shared her excitement over the strong connection it has built with viewers.
'The show went off-air in August, and up until yesterday, there hasn't been a single day when I didn't receive at least 10 messages online asking about the next season. Earlier, I had around 20 fan pages — now that number has skyrocketed to nearly 200, all thanks to Heartbeat and Dr.
Rathi. It's not just me — every member of the cast has their own fan base now, even our director and producers have dedicated fan pages! The fans never gave me a chance to miss Heartbeat over these past months. Their videos, edits, photos, and posts have been truly overwhelming and heartwarming,' she added.
Recalling one of her most cherished fan moments, Anumol spoke about an inspiring online community called '
Dr Rathi
Girls' — a group formed by passionate fans of her character.
'Dr Rathi Girls is a community of young women who've been truly inspired by the character. They organise meet-ups, support each other through tough times, and even initiate social welfare activities. I'm genuinely touched by such efforts. One woman messaged me saying that, inspired by Rathi, she learned to drive and even bought her own car. Another fan from Chennai is now serving free food to people in need. These stories make me feel truly blessed.
It's in moments like these that I realise the show and my character have made the right kind of impact,' she added with emotion.
Speaking about the personal impact the character has had on her, Anumol revealed that Dr. Rathi has been a source of inspiration in her own life as well.
'I've actually adopted many of Rathi's good qualities into my own life,' Anumol said with a smile. 'But it has also had some funny side effects.
After being Rathi for 1.5 years, whenever I'm offered a new role — say, as an assistant or a servant — I catch myself thinking, 'How can Dr. Rathi, a senior doctor, be an assistant?. But honestly, I'm enjoying every bit of it. Living as Rathi has been a beautiful journey,' she concluded.

Abhishek Bachchan is more scared of wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan than mother Jaya Bachchan? Here's what Shweta Bachchan had to say
Veteran Bollywood actress Jaya Bachchan often goes viral for her videos fuming and schooling the paparazzi and fans for their misbehaviour. But, ask her son Abhishek, who he 'fears' in the Bachchan household, and it might just be someone else. A resurfaced clip from an episode of Koffee With Karan , featuring siblings Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan Nanda, has left fans in splits over their humour. In the clip, Johar posed a light-hearted question to Abhishek during the rapid-fire round and asked 'Who are you more scared of—your wife or your mother?' While Abhishek responded, 'My mother,' his sister Shweta promptly replied, 'Wife!' Not amused by her reply, Abhishek told his sister, 'It's my rapid fire, be quiet,' leaving Karan smiling from ear to ear. Abhishek on Life with Aishwarya Beyond the humour, Abhishek has, over the years, spoken openly about his relationship with his actress wife. In an interview with RJ Siddharth Kannan, he acknowledged the vital role Ash plays in their family life. Giving her due credit, he said, 'A lot of what I am as an actor post-marriage is due to Aishwarya. She has allowed me to focus on work… saying, 'You go act, I'll take care of Aaradhya.'' Divorce Rumours Abhishek and Aishwarya battled nasty divorce rumours and other wild speculations around their marriage. In a more recent interview with ETimes, Abhishek opened up about how these rumours really affect him and his family. He admitted, 'It's very upsetting. You're not me, you don't live my life.' The actor also said that while in the past, he was able to brush off false stories about himself, with rumours circulating around his family, it hits differently. Abhishek and Aishwarya tied the knot on April 20, 2007, in a private ceremony at the Bachchan family residence. After three years of married life, the couple welcomed their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan on November 16, 2011.

'Thalaivan Thalaivii' box office collections day 1: Vijay Sethupathi, Nithya Menen's film opens strong; mints Rs 4.15 cr
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) The Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen starrer 'Thalaivan Thalaivii' has opened to a promising start at the box office. Directed and written by Pandiraj, the emotional drama about two passionate yet conflicted lovers collected Rs 4.15 crore (India net) on its opening day, according to early estimates reported by Sacnilk. Tamil audiences show up in large numbers On its release day, Friday, July 25, 'Thalaivan Thalaivii' reportedly recorded an overall 47.00% occupancy across Tamil Nadu. Morning shows saw an occupancy of 30.14%. It steadily climbed to 41.95% in the afternoon, 46.54% in the evening. The occupancy peaked to 69.38% during the night shows. 02:47 Thalaivan Thalaivii - Official Trailer Chennai leads with highest turnout Chennai led with the highest occupancy at 60.50%, with night shows in the city hitting 84%. Other cities such as Madurai (49.25%), Coimbatore (43.75%), and Pondicherry (39.25%) followed closely. Bengaluru, while slightly lower at 33.75%, still showed encouraging numbers with a notable increase during evening and night shows. ETimes verdict The Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen starrer opened up positive reviews from the audiences. ETimes rated the film with a solid 4 stars out of 5 and a an excerpt from our review reads, "Amidst all the noise and gags, though, Thalaivan Thalaivi finds moments of quiet, moving emotions. In one scene, Aagasam, tired of all the fights, breaks down in front of his father. In another, a mother posts a WhatsApp status of her child, hoping her estranged husband sees it. When someone sees the family fight for a whole day, they say, 'Inum ivanga mudikalaya,' and you feel that too. However, Thalaivan Thalaivi becomes one of the very few Tamil films that dig into the life after marriage, something after the beginning of the seemingly 'Happily ever after,' and Pandiraj has crafted a fun, frustrating family padam." The film is expected to mint more numbers in the coming days.

What Triptii Dimri Wants To Learn From Bad Newz Co-Star Vicky Kaushal
New Delhi: Ever since the massive success of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal with Ranbir Kapoor, Triptii Dimri has skyrocketed to fame like no other. Recently, she was also in the news for replacing Deepika Padukone in Vanga's Spirit opposite Prabhas. She is gearing up for the release of Dhadak 2 with Siddhant Chaturvedi, and it was during the promotions that she spoke about her Bad Newz co-star Vicky Kaushal.

I think I'm very, very patient. I think that patience I want to learn from him." Furthermore, she added, "He can work for 24 hours without saying a word. He's just too good. And I think I asked him one day, How do you go on and on without any complaints?" "He's like, 'This is what I always wanted in life.' And that gave me an answer to so many things. That patience, I think, I would want," concluded the Animal actress.
