Megha Ray performs Tandav for Mahadev on the 'Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani' set
Ray, who essays the role of Divya on the show talked about the deeply moving experience saying, 'On the first day of shooting for 'Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani', I got the chance to perform the Tandav in front of Mahadev, in a temple."
Shedding further light on what the performance meant to her, she added, 'When I was dancing, I completely forgot there were cameras. I wasn't performing — I was experiencing something spiritual. It felt like I had entered another world. And honestly, I couldn't have asked for a more powerful beginning to this journey. Even now, when I think about it, I still get goosebumps.'
She further shared how performing the Tandav brought back some of her beloved childhood memories. "I was so happy when I found out — it instantly brought back a childhood memory. I had always wished to dance in a temple, or in front of Mahadev someday. Dance has always been deeply connected to my soul, and with Mahadev being Nataraj, the cosmic dancer, it all just felt like a divine sign," Ray explained.
The actress went on to add, 'I don't know what it is about this show, but I keep receiving signs — one after another. Honestly, I never used to believe in such things, but sometimes life surprises you in the most unexpected ways. It reminds you of the dreams you once had but forgot along the way. Dancing in front of Mahadev was exactly that moment for me.'
"Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani" which also features Suraj Pratap Singh and Kavita Banerjee in the lead airs every day at 8:30 PM on Sun Neo.

Suraj Pratap Singh on old-school romance and what true love means to him; says ‘Today's love stories feel superficial'
In an era where relationships are often measured by social media status and video calls, Suraj Pratap Singh stands apart with his belief in timeless, soulful romance. The lead actor of Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani, Suraj admits he's always been captivated by love stories — but not the modern ones. 'I've always been a fan of love stories, but not the kind we usually see today. I'm more drawn to the kind of love that feels real and lasting — the kind people believed in back in the day. It wasn't about texting or going on dates, but about a deep connection, something that felt almost spiritual,' he shared. 'That timeless kind of love is what our Sun Neo show Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani is all about. And honestly, that's the kind of love that really inspires me. ' Reflecting on how today's relationships have changed, Suraj added, 'Let's be honest. These days, a lot of love stories feel a bit superficial. There's drama, yes, but the real emotions and magic are often missing. I admire the kind of love where people waited for letters, found comfort in silence, and trusted each other without saying much. That's the kind of love that stays with you forever.' His show Divya Prem revolves around Divya, a young girl from Ujjain, whose life transforms after crossing paths with Prem. Together, they unravel mysteries tied to their past while exploring a love that is both soulful and magical — much like the romance Suraj believes in.

This Television Star Eloped At 15, Divorced After 9 Years, And Became A Mum Before Remarrying
Last Updated: Puja Banerjee, known for playing 'Goddess Parvati' in Devon Ke Dev… Mahadev, is a versatile actor who has been married twice and is a proud mother to a young son In the world of entertainment, love and marriage often make as many headlines as stardom. From glamorous weddings to unexpected separations, many actors and actresses have walked down the aisle more than once – some parting ways amicably, others due to painful circumstances like domestic abuse. Among these stories is that of a popular actress who got married for the first time as a teenager and, over the years, has emerged as one of television's most recognised faces. Puja Banerjee, a 38-year-old versatile actor, has made her mark across Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, and Telugu films, television serials, and web series. She has been married twice and is also a proud mother to a young son. Her second marriage is with TV actor Kunal Verma, whom she dated for nearly three years before tying the knot. During this time, she also embraced motherhood. Puja rose to prominence with her portrayal of 'Goddess Parvati' in the mythological series Devon Ke Dev… Mahadev and later played 'Mata Vaishno Devi' in Jag Janani Maa Vaishno Devi. These roles not only brought her immense fame but also cemented her place in the hearts of Indian television audiences. Apart from serials, Puja has shown her versatility in reality shows like MTV Roadies, Comedy Circus, and Bigg Boss, while also appearing in regional cinema. Despite her widespread fame, she has remained fairly private about her personal life — until she chose to share some important milestones with her fans on social media. In April 2020, during the Durga Puja festivities, Puja revealed via an Instagram post that she and Kunal had already registered their marriage about six weeks earlier. The couple had initially planned a lavish wedding, but it had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 lockdown. Puja and Kunal had been engaged since 2017. Later that same year, the couple welcomed their son. Puja, who was pregnant before marriage, openly embraced her journey into motherhood. Today, she often shares heartwarming glimpses of her family life with her husband and son through photos and videos, showing a beautiful balance between career and home. What many may not know is that Puja's journey began at the young age of 15, when she eloped and married her then-boyfriend Arunoy Chakraborty in 2004. The marriage lasted nine years, and the couple eventually parted ways amicably in 2013. Following her divorce, Puja shifted her focus entirely to her acting career. It was during this phase that she landed the iconic role of 'Goddess Parvati' – a defining moment that changed her life forever. Since then, Puja hasn't looked back, consistently proving her talent and resilience. Today, Puja Banerjee stands as one of television's most successful and admired actresses, known not just for her performances but also for her strength, grace, and the ability to shape her own destiny.

Who is this 23-year-old actor set to make her Bollywood debut opposite Ajay Devgn? She was once a child artist, her name is...
What happens when a child star outgrows television and steps into the glare of Bollywood's big lights? For Roshni Walia, the answer may unfold on July 25, 2025, when she appears alongside Ajay Devgn in the much-awaited sequel, Son of Sardaar 2. But this isn't just another casting, it's a full-circle moment for a girl who's been on camera since age seven. Who is Roshni Walia? Born in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, and now just 23, Roshni isn't a stranger to the limelight. She began her acting journey with a commercial at the age of 7 and quickly transitioned to television with her debut in Main Lakshmi Tere Aangan Ki (2012). That same year, she made a splash in My Friend Ganesha 4. Her face may be familiar from hit shows like Balika Vadhu, Devon Ke Dev… Mahadev, Maharana Pratap, and Yeh Vaada Raha. Over the years, she built not just a resume but a fanbase, especially among the youth, thanks to her vibrant social media presence. Why is her debut creating buzz? Because this isn't a small launch. Son of Sardaar 2 is a sequel to the 2012 Ajay Devgn-starrer and brings back high-octane action, Punjabi flair, and big names. Apart from Devgn and Roshni, the film stars Mrunal Thakur and Sanjay Mishra, adding gravitas and flair. At the trailer launch, Roshni reportedly got emotional. 'This is my first film. Working with such huge stars means a lot to me,' she said, teary-eyed yet glowing with pride. Will this film elevate her career? Industry watchers think so. A debut with a big banner, a legacy sequel, and the support of a seasoned cast? It's the kind of launch many actors dream of. If Roshni holds her own on screen, and signs suggest she will, she could very well be Bollywood's next breakout face.
