Delnaaz Irani overjoyed on completion of 100 episodes of ‘Kabhi Kabhie Ittefaq Sey’

Published

To complete 100 episodes for any show is indeed a great achievement. Recently the popular show ‘Kabhi Kabhie Ittefaq Sey’ achieved that significant milestone.

Actress Delnaaz Irani from the show talks about her excitement on 100 episodes.

She says: “It’s a great moment. In today’s time, with everybody eyeing big TRPs and struggling to make a mark, completing 100 episodes is a big achievement. I am hopeful that we are going to score many more 100s. Being an integral part of the show, after working so hard, I feel it’s a big achievement for the entire cast and crew.”

Speaking about her fond memories from the show she adds, “The show has given me a lot. It is the first show that came post lockdown, so it has a very special place in my heart. Covid time was difficult for all of us and coming back with a show like this was a great feeling. After a long gap I am playing a character like Goli Bua which is a non-comical role. Honestly, every moment on the show is very close to my heart.”

“Definitely the week-long Shaadi sequence is one of my fondest memories – we were shooting at night and it was the month of December. It was quite chilly and we were all sitting out in the garden and did some great scenes and had some great moments. We made some fun reels between shots and used to have tea and coffee at 4 am in the morning. It was a great bonding time during those initial episodes. I feel that was the foundation of the show,I have made some beautiful friends for life.”

She also adds: “The whole Anubhav and Gungun’s track is something that I simply love. It does happen that opposites attract where the girl is vibrant, chirpy, extrovert, fun-loving and the boy is very shy, studious and introvert. Till today, both the characters have kept their characterization in mind and look lovely together. I must say Manan and Yesha are doing a great job.”

So what message would you like to convey to the fans of the show?
“I would like to say that everytime a producer makes a show, there are many people who work hard and all of them try their level best. They accommodate and make changes according to the viewers’ feedback. My only request is to not spread negativity for any show because many lives are dependent on a show. So before spreading the negativity, encourage and give your suggestions to the makers. On a positive note, fans have loved our show. And we are thankful to them. I have personally received so much love and appreciation for Goli Bua, it feels special.”

But how tough is it to maintain TRP every week? “It’s difficult. There is a lot of competition. I just feel that our show started with a very unique storyline and it shifted according to what the makers felt. We are doing our best to put up a good show.”

Andrew Garfield speaks up on his return as ‘Spider-Man’

Published

on

Los Angeles, April 22: Hollywood actor Andrew Garfield, who has openly expressed his desire to return as Spider-Man, has said that the idea has to be very novel.

If the actor returns as the web-slinging superhero, it will be his fourth movie following 2012’s ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’, 2014’s ‘Amazing Spider-Man 2’ and 2021’s ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’, the latter of which powered to $1.9 billion at the worldwide box office on the strength of Garfield teaming up with fellow web-slingers Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire, reports ‘Variety’.

However, Andrew Garfield said at Middle East Film & Comic Con that coming back as Spider-Man hinges on an offbeat story idea.

He said (via Entertainment Tonight), “It would have to be very weird. I would like to do something very strange. Something very unique, and offbeat and surprising, kind of like the creative freedom they have with the animated ‘Spider-Verse’ movies”.

In an interview with Esquire magazine last year, the two-time Oscar nominee said he was “left dangling” when his Spider-Man role came to such an abrupt end after ‘Amazing Spider-Man 2’ disappointed at the box office.

As per ‘Variety’, that film’s lackluster performance resulted in Sony coming to an agreement with Disney to share ‘Spider-Man’ so that the superhero could officially enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Tom Holland took over the role with 2017’s ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’. But the success of ‘No Way Home’ proved there’s still a lot of love for Garfield’s iteration of the comic book hero.

“For sure, I would 100% come back if it was the right thing, if it’s additive to the culture, if there’s a great concept or something that hasn’t been done before that’s unique and odd and exciting and that you can sink your teeth into”, Garfield told Esquire.

“I love that character, and it brings joy. If part of what I bring is joy, then I’m joyful in return”, he added.

Tom Holland’s next ‘Spider-Man’ movie is officially titled ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ and is set to hit theaters July 31, 2026.

Mumbai, April 17: Music maestro A.R. Rahman, currently preparing for his ambitious “Wonderment” tour, has admitted that news and rumours about him do take a toll on his mental well-being. In an exclusive conversation with Media, A.R. Rahman opened up about his preparation for the ‘Wonderment’ tour, the use of AI in music, his mental state, and much more.

When asked, “Music requires a happy state of mind, do news and rumours about you that circulate everywhere affect you?”

Rahman replied, “I think every artist goes through this. Sometimes they are in a very, very sad state, and they have to do ‘Chhaiya Chhaiya’ or ‘Hamma Hamma’. You can’t say I’m not in the mood. They will go to somebody else. Sometimes you are very happy, and they want you to do the saddest song. You should be ready for it. In music, you have to be in a very neutral condition. You are almost like an actor. You are sad inside but you have to play happy.”

When further inquired , “But as an artist and as a human being, does it really affect you when you read so much about yourself.” Opening about it Rahman quipped, ‘It does, It does affect but it’s part of the game. The ups and downs.”

For the unversed, A.R. Rahman’s wife announced her divorce with him in the month of November 2024. Soon a social media post went viral accusing Rahman of having an extra-marital affair with one of his band members which led Rahman to issue a statement. He also announced to take a legal action against those spreading defamatory news about him.

Further during the conversation, A.R. also spoke about his health and shared a message with his fans stating “Thank you for all the love. Sorry to have scared you.
