By being inclusive, OTT has given TV a run for its money: Himansh Kohli
OTT has changed a lot for TV, says actor Himansh Kohli, adding that content on the platform has improved, thanks to the advent of web shows.
“OTT gave TV a run for its money, and everyone was forced to adapt to the medium. I think all the production houses now, big or small, have started catering to OTT as well. OTT not only gave the freedom to watch something at your own pace but the variety and relaxed filtration helped real content reach the audience,” he says.
It is the realism portrayed on OTT which has worked well with the audience, says Himansh. “We all live in our fairytale world but one has to look at the reality and accept it. It’s hard to digest some things sometimes, but ignorance will not be beneficial in the long run. I have started to accept the real side of life so much that I appreciate content more if it has originality and relatability.”
“Many people have been jailed, punished, and even killed for being too real, but let’s face our reality with honour and acceptance,” adds the Yaariya actor.
OTT is also an all-inclusive platform, says Himansh. “You see content coming from all places at a single platform, and there you witness the real might of every piece. There are huge production houses and very small ones doing a considerably good job.”
“I would give credit to the laws for the platform, where people are able to express themselves better. OTT has been considerably successful in bringing out a director’s vision of a film straight to you,” he says.
He shares: “When social media started booming, it became evident that these walls are slowly breaking down. One would no longer need things like ‘sources’ to be a part of a project.”
“A lot of influencers like Prajakta Kohli, Harsh Beniwal, Shivani Singh, Kusha Kapila, Dolly Singh, and more are not just influencers anymore and have made a considerable imprint on OTT. Even a lot of casting companies are looking out for actors on social media and directly approaching them for projects,” concludes the 32-year-old actor.

Vijay Vikram Singh says Salman Khan is ‘integral’ to Bigg Boss: ‘Very difficult to imagine the show without him’

Actor and narrator Vijay Vikram Singh has said that it is “very difficult” to imagine Bigg Boss without Salman Khan, given the superstar’s long-standing association with the reality show.In an exclusive conversation with IANS, the ‘Ikka’ actor called Salman an “integral” part of the show and spoke about the strong connection he shares with its audience. Sharing his views on Salman Khan’s role as the host, Vijay said that while Bigg Boss can continue without any one individual, Salman’s long-standing association with the show has made his presence an integral part of its identity and its connection with the audience.
He said, “No, no, I can be totally separated. If you don’t hear this tomorrow afternoon at 12 o’clock, then also your life will go on. If Mr. Khan is not there, then it is possible with the show. So, a lot of people are connected because Mr. Khan is there.”Vijay went on to acknowledge Salman’s strong association with the reality show, adding that it is now difficult to imagine Bigg Boss in its current form without the superstar. “So, Salman, sir, is an integral part of the show. And without him, it is very difficult to imagine the show now. Like, it is very difficult to imagine Khatron Ke Khiladi without Rohit Shetty sir,” he said.
Salman Khan has been associated with “Bigg Boss” for several seasons and has become one of the most recognizable faces of the franchise. The ‘Sultan’ actor began hosting Bigg Boss in 2010 with Season 4 and has since become synonymous with the reality show. He continued as the host through Season 17 and is also set to return for the upcoming Season 18.Before Salman Khan took over as host, “Bigg Boss” saw Arshad Warsi host Season 1, followed by Shilpa Shetty in Season 2 and Amitabh Bachchan in Season 3. The ‘Kick’ actor then began hosting the show with Season 4 in 2010 and continued as the host through Season 17.
Meanwhile, Vijay Vikram Singh remains closely associated with “Bigg Boss,” having served as the show’s narrator for several seasons. His distinctive voice has become a recognizable part of the reality show.

Sunita Ahuja arrives at Bandra Court amidst ugly spat with Govinda, son Yashvardhan loses cool at paps

Mumbai, August 19: Amid the ongoing public spat between Bollywood superstar Govinda and his wife Sunita Ahuja, the latter was spotted arriving at the Bandra Family Court on Wednesday with their son Yashvardhan Ahuja.
Sunita was seen stepping out with Yashvardhan, who appeared visibly displeased as paparazzi followed the mother-son duo.
At one point, he appeared to lose his cool at the photographers while accompanying his mother and asked photographers to make way for his mother and not hound her.
When asked what happened inside the court, Yashvardhan loudly said, “Nothing”, while Sunita sarcastically said, “Birthday manane aaye the (Had come to celebrate Birthday)”
Sunita opted for a casual look, wearing a light pink shirt and black trousers. Yashvardhan, meanwhile, was dressed in a white shirt with grey trousers and blue sneakers.
The latest sighting comes amid public tension between Sunita and Govinda, with their personal equation and ugly spat becoming public.
The controversy escalated after Govinda was spotted at an airport with his ‘Roopa’ co-star Komal Rani Swarnkar.
Sunita had reacted strongly to it and questioned Govinda’s association with the much-younger actress.
She had referred to Govinda as a “sugar daddy” and said he was “going around with a girl who is the same age as his daughter”, while also telling Komal to “dress properly”.
Sunita’s remarks came amid speculation surrounding Govinda and Komal, though there has been no confirmation of an affair between the two.
For the uninitiated, Komal is associated with Govinda’s upcoming film ‘Roopa’, and the actor has maintained that his association with younger actresses is extremely professional.
Govinda finally responded to Sunita through a video message, saying that she should not interfere with his work or make statements that could damage his reputation and business.
Addressing the age-gap criticism, he pointed out that it is not the first time an actor has been paired opposite to an actress much younger than the hero.
He said how earlier as well Bollywood superstars have worked with younger actresses and said that such professional collaborations should not automatically be viewed as relationships.
He also asked Sunita to be mindful of the language she uses in public. In another part of his response, Govinda objected to what he described as her repeated use of abusive expressions involving mothers and sisters, saying that youngsters could be influenced by what public figures say and do.
The actor further urged Sunita to refrain from using excessive swear words.
Sunita, meanwhile, has previously spoken candidly about the difficulties in her marriage and Govinda’s alleged affairs.
Reports about trouble in their marriage have also resurfaced repeatedly. Sunita had reportedly filed a divorce petition in the Bandra Family Court in December 2024, with reports citing cruelty, adultery and desertion as the grounds.
But in a few months, during ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, Govinda and Sunita made a public appearance in front of the media and said that nobody could ever break their bond.
For the uninitiated, Govinda and Sunita married in 1987 and have two children, daughter Tina Ahuja and son Yashvardhan Ahuja.
Yashvardhan is preparing to make his acting debut, while Tina also known as Narmada made her Bollywood debut with ‘Second Hand Husband’ in 2015.
