Gear up for some major drama on YHM’s latest episode!

In the last episode, we saw a fight taking place between Mrs Bhalla and Sarika. Upon being told that her Paneer dish was too salty, Sarika picked up a fight with Mrs Bhalla and told her to do everything herself. Ishita(Divyanka Tripathi) intervened and asked Sarika to mind her words when speaking to Mrs Bhalla. Sarika stormed off and Mrs Bhalla- Ishita came to a conclusion, that Sarika must be upset with something else. Later, Ishita tried to call Shagun(Anita Hassanandani) but realized that her phone had been swapped with Raman’s by mistake. She panicked thinking that if Shagun called Ishita, the ring would go to Raman(Karan Patel) and all hell would break loose. But she was relieved when Raman returned her phone and told her that it had been switched off. Later, Shagun, Ishita, Abhishek and Prateek met up to discuss their next game plan. Ishita said that she would act possessed again in order to make Simmi reveal her secret. The episode ended with Ishita deciding to put Simmi in the spot with her drama.

In the upcoming episode, we will see Ishita acting possessed by Shagun’s spirit once again. She will act like Shagun, which will leave Raman and Mrs Bhalla shell shocked.

Will Simmi reveal her secret seeing Ishita like this? Whom is she trying to kill of not Raman? Stay tuned to find out!

We are as surprised as you are…

We all know how Rimi Sen is the least interested contestant on Bigg Boss 9. She is hating the fact that she signed up for a crap show like this which is nothing but a torture machine. Well, let me tell you guys that even if Rimi doesn’t make it to the finale, she is taking home a whopping prize money, that’s more than the winning amount! Yes! That’s right! We just got to hear that Rimi was paid a bomb of Rs 2 crore as the signing amount, more than what the winner is entitled to get! Can you believe it?

Although we agree Rimi is comparitively one of the most popular contestants and it is but obvious she would be paid more but Rs 2 crore is apparently the highest fee for any contestant in the history of Bigg Boss. Our source EXCLUSIVELY reveals to us that apart from the signing amount, every contestant is further being paid on weekly basis and the amount offered varies from one contestant to another, depending upon the celebrity’s popularity. So the one who is the least popular has been locked on a pay roll of Rs 3 lakh per week whereas the one who is highly popular is getting close to Rs 5 lakh per week. The contestants are entitled to this weekly fees until they survive the game and the winner of the show gets the prize money (which is around Rs 40 lakh for according to a report), in addition to their weekly fee.

Well, if Rimi was actually been paid Rs 2 crore as the signing amount, the contestant with the highest weekly fee of Rs 5 lakh will still get less money than Rimi, even if he or she wins the 15-week-long show. (15 weeks x Rs 5 lakh = Rs 75 lakh; Add to that the prize money of Rs 40 lakh, and the total only reaches upto Rs 1.15 crore).

Quite a shocker no? Share your thoughts and keep watching this space for more updates on Bigg Boss 9, only on BollywoodLife!

After Himmanshoo A Malhotra, Jay Bhanushali is the second contestant to be ousted from the show!

Khatron Ke Khiladi 7 has been making news right from the start. First, it was the entry of new host, Arjun Kapoor, who will hopefully add some youthful zing to the show. Then, it was the location. The fact that the seventh show of the action-packed reality show will be shot in Argentina is another huge attraction. Famous for its mountains, natural parks and parks, it has a lot to offer to adventure seekers. The list of contestants is also a very attractive one. Here is some EXCLUSIVE dope from the reality show that will go on air shortly.

After Himmanshoo A Malhotra, it is Jay Bhanushali who has been evicted from the programme. This time, the contestants have been divided into two teams and Tanishaa and Jay Bhanushali are reportedly captains of the two teams. With Jay as a captain getting ousted, we guess that one of the teams will get a new captain. The tasks also need a variety of skills and range from creepy to death-defying. Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij were also the couple contestant this year on the show. With her husband going out, Mahhi will be all alone. This was the first time that Jay was a part of such an adventure-based reality show. He is best known as an anchor in the TV industry.

Khatron Ke Khiladi 7 has contestants like Sidharth Shukla, Vivan Bhatena, Parvathy Omanakuttan, Tanishaa, Faisal Khan, Raghav Juyal, Mukti Mohan, Mahhi Vij, Yuvraj Walmiki, Sana Saeed, Tina Dutta and Aishwarya Sakhuja. Vivian Dsena is the wild card entrant this year.

We have seen how Ragini (Tejaswi Prakash Wayagankar) is plotting everyone’s minds against Swara (Helly Shah). At the same time, Lakshya (Namish Taneja) is trying to win over Swara with his friendship before asking her to make a re-entry in his life. In last night’s episode, we saw how Swara cleared her misunderstanding with Sanskaar (Varun Kapoor) much to his happiness. However, Ragini has been poisoning the minds of Annapurna (Shalini Kapoor Sagar) and Sujata (Sonica Handa) who are doubting whether Swara is two-timing Lakshya and Sanskaar. Ragini wants people to hate Swara as much as they hate her now.

In the coming episodes, we will see Uttara (Khyati Mangla) making an entry on the show. We will also see Ragini getting kidnapped. However, it won’t be a ploy but she will genuinely get kidnapped. Members of the Maheshwari family won’t believe her due to her previous misdeeds. Later, the suspicion will fall on Lakshya, Swara and Sanskaar. They will analyse that all of them have a motive behind getting Ragini kidnapped. Lakshya obviously wants Ragini out of the way so that he can get Swara. Sanskaar also wants to protect Swara from Ragini’s constant scheming.

There is a buzz that Sanskaar’s sister Khyati will get Ragini kidnapped as she will come to know that she kept a bomb in her brother’s car, which nearly killed him. The twists and turns in the plot have kept the viewers guessing from quite some time now.

On the occasion of Dhanteras, we conducted a poll on which TV diva rocked the bling. It was a very closely fought battle between two of TV’s favourite ladies – Paridhi Sharma (Jodha of Jodha Akbar) and Drashti Dhami (Gayatri of Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani).

At the initial stage, it was Paridhi who got the maximum number of votes. After three to four days, it was Drashti who overtook her. Finally, it was the former who came up trumps in this contest.

Considered as one of the most beautiful women on TV, Paridhi enacted her role of the royal princess with perfection. She rocked the heavy jewellery that she had to wear day in and day out for the show. However, in real life, she is not at all fond of heavy jewellery.

All of us know that Drashti has a legion of fans, who simply adore her. She looks gorgeous as the queen of Amerkot on the show. The actress has been sporting some lovely vintage jewellery pieces on the show. We loved her fully bejewelled look during the marriage sequence. It was a visual treat.

Sadly, there was lot of difference between the first two ladies and Rachana Parulkar, who was Ajabde in Maharana Pratap. She only managed 14% votes.

The other two ladies, Tejaswi Prakash Wayagankar and Prinal Oberoi who play Ragini in Swaragini and the cunning Charumitra in Chakravartin Ashok Samrat lagged far behind. We guess their negative designs rob them of their sparkle.

You won’t believe who is this new surprise entry! Read on to find out…

We don’t think there’s anything more interesting about Bigg Boss 9 right now, other than knowing who the next wild card is! There’s a list of names doing the rounds including people like Sahil Khan and Keith Sequiera’s ex-wife Samyukta making it to the show! Well, while we dunno when will these two enter the show! But it can now be confirmed that the third wild card entrant after Rishabh Sinha and Puneet Vashishta is going to be none other than this known fashion designer named, Kanwaljeet Singh! Yes, that’s right! He is one…

Kanwaljeet himself has given an interview confirming the above news. While talking to a leading daily, he said, “Mujhe starting me Mandana pasand thi or uske baad Rochelle surprise package bankar saamne aayi vo apne liye stand le rahi hai. Main ghar ke andar koi strategy lekar nahi jaa raha hu kyunki BB me koi planning chalne waale nahi hai.”

Now I’m sure you must be wondering who this new personality is and why is he being brought to a show like Bigg Boss 9! Well, Kanwaljeet is a known face in the fashion industry! He is an experienced designer since many years and if you google him, you’ll get to see a lot of pictures of him posing with singer Hard Kaur and ex-Bigg Boss contestant Bobby Darling, among others! Will he manage to impress on Bigg Boss 9 or no? Only time will tell! But until then keep watching this space for more updates on Bigg Boss 9, only on BollywoodLife!

 Who do you think is the real culprit? Tell us!

In the last episode, we saw Suraj receiving a diamond necklace from the jeweller, who told him that the diamonds used are pure. Suraj purchased this necklace for Vandu and asked the jeweller to not tell anyone that the diamond necklace is real. Meanwhile, Sarika was seen scouting for jobs and cursing her luck. She enquired about a job in the hospitality sector and asked her friend to forward the company her CV. Later, Mrs Bhalla got busy with the Diwali preparations and asked Simmi to help her out. Simmi stated that she was busy with some freelance work and left the house. Suraj visited the Bhalla house and handed Vandu her diamond necklace. She said she wouldn’t accept it without paying the amount for it and gave him Rs, 30.000, as this was the amount Suraj quoted. Meanwhile, Ishita(Divyanka Tripathi) was getting dressed for Diwali and Raman(Karan Patel) took the opportunity to share a romantic moment with her. The episode ended with Simmi returning home and Ishita deciding that she will let the truth out in the open this time.

In the upcoming episode, we will see Ishita acting possessed by Shagun’s(Anita Hassanandani) spirit once again. She will act like Shagun, which will leave Raman and Mrs Bhalla shell shocked. She will accuse Simmi of meeting Ashok and will finally confront her, as Shagun.

Who do you think is the real culprit- Sarika or Simmi? Tell us by posting your votes in the box below!

Here is a lowdown on what happened inside on Day 38

Bigg Boss 9 brought a new twist today. The superficial behaviour of some contestants was also exposed today. Here is a look at highlights.

# Rochelle says she has control on her temper this week and hence is best performer of week. Mandana Karimi and Rochelle praise Suyyash Rai as a captain but say that Prince Narula is a troublemaker.

# Rimi Sen says that Shararti Bachha luxury budget task she was worst performer. When she was asked to nominate a fellow contestant she names Mandana, who quit due to ill-health.

# Bigg Boss tells the Iranian beauty that she has been evicted due to her bad performance and she has to pack her bags and leave the house through front door. She is very tearful. Later, we see her advising Digangana Suryavanshi to be strong. She tells Rochelle that she and Keith Sequeira are a great couple. Rimi says she is sure that she is going to be here till the grand finale now.

# It is revealed that Mandana is not evicted but kept in secret room of Bigg Boss. They wonder who will be the new contestant in the house. Suyyash Rai, Kishwer Merchantt and Prince Narula say that she was one of the strongest contestants while Rishabh Sinha wonders who the new wild card is.

# Aman Verma tells people that Bigg Boss has not sent Mandana away but she is in secret room. The contestants have to behave in a manner that Mandana feels like nominating them for eviction. Kishwer says that she and Prince Narula are most likely for nomination.

# Rimi says she comes across as a trustworthy person and people feel she is genuine. She says Mandana is very deserving person. Rochelle and Aman chat about her. On the other hand, the Iranian damsel says she is surprised to see people talking so much about her. She is upset about Rochelle.

# Prince Narula tells Rochelle that he did not like it when she said that she felt unsafe with him. She also says it would be unfair to bring Mandana back inside the house.

# Kishwer says she is happy that Mandana is out as she thinks she is a headache. She feels the house is a better place without her. She also says that Rimi has started taking interest in the happenings. The Bong beauty says her bank balance will increase if she stays inside the house.

# Rimi says she wants to increase her bank balance without doing anything. She also says that people are here for money, which upsets some of the participants. Kishwer calls her fake.

# Mandana says she is shocked at negativity around her and says she never felt so powerful as she does now. She vows revenge on all those who backstabbed her inside the house.

Are they dating or are they not? Read on to find out…

Sooraj Pancholi doesn’t seem to take his single-ready-to-mingle status too seriously. But there have been reports linking him with every PYT in Bollywood. Especially his mentor Salman Khan’s protégées.

The newbie pooh-poohs rumours of him dating Elli Avram and now, Amy Jackson. “These are friends. I have lots of friends in my age group in the film industry, who I was not able to meet for a very long time because I was busy with my first film Hero. Now that I’m between films, this is a good time to catch up with everyone.”

So no affair with Amy? “None at all. What can I do if I am at the same venue as these girls, they take pictures of us chatting together and people decide we were together at the venue?”

Sooraj is very clear he has no time or inclination to be in a relationship. “I haven’t dated or even interacted properly with any girl after my last relationship (with Jiah Khan). It’s not that I am afraid of falling in love again. In fact, I am waiting for it to happen. But sadly, there is nobody. There has been nobody in the past three years.”

He is busy preparing for his next film. “Right now, I’m putting in as many hours as possible to train for my next film. So I don’t see any chance of love happening. In any case, I’d never date a girl from the film industry. It has to be someone not connected with the entertainment world.”

We have always wished to have friends like our telly heroes…Read on to know which qualities we love about their onscreen avatars!

Loyal, funny, protective, rich, generous, there are varied traits that make the leading men of TV highly appealing. On the occasion of International Men’s Day, we list down a few characters whom you would love to know in real life.

Ranveer Vaghela from Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi

Loyal, loving, protective and supportive. Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi’s RV has every quality that a girl would love in her friend. Not to mention the fact that he is loaded as well. Remember the scene after the first leap where he watches over her at a party ensuring that she is well-looked after, it simply stole your heart. Dashing, innocent and endearing, he is a guy you would love to love. Moreover, he knows how to drape a saree as well!

Sanskaar Maheshwari from Swaragini

Many argue that how can girls love a guy who was revengeful and sadist at the start. But with his inner demons at peace, Sanskaar’s tender side has come to the fore, and viewers are loving it. He loves his friends unconditionally, is ready to take the blame for them and has that slight awkwardness about his true feelings. Larger-than-life yet relatable.

Manik Malhotra from Kaisi Yeh Yaariyaan

All girls want that friend who is a total stud. Kaisi Yeh Yaariyaan’s Manik is loyal, protective, talented and arrogant as well. He will do anything for his friends. While some might find Manik a little too brash, there is no denying that he only has his friends well-being in his heart.

Siddharth Khurana from Jamai Raja

All of us needs that buddy who can help us fix relationships and Siddharth Khurana does that with élan. Though he is a tycoon, he believes in the beauty of relationships, which is so evident on Jamai Raja. We have seen how he has mended his wife, Roshni’s (Nia Sharma) fractured relationship with her mother Durga Devi (Achint Kaur) and brought them closer.

Raman Bhalla from Yeh Hain Mohabbatein

Though he is might not be very expressive, you know you can count on Raman when it matters the most. Whether it is standing up for his wife or helping someone in need, Raman is loyal with a generous heart. A tough nut with a soft core, we are sure everyone knows a guy like that.

Randhir Singh Shekhawat from Sadda Haq

I am sure many girls know a guy like Randhir who believes that boys are best but changes over a period of time to love and respect you. A guy like Randhir is quite common across India. He loves his arch competitor Sanyukta Aggarwal but professional pursuits take precedence time and again. A guy who challenges you to bring out your best, doesn’t one need a buddy like that?

The nominations are finally here! Who do you think should leave the house this week? VOTE and tell us…

BollywoodLife was the first ones’t to tell you how there won’t be any nominations on Bigg Boss 9 this week! The show initiated this new process wherein we were been told that the eliminations will happen depending upon who performs worse in the luxury budget task. However, that too came with a twist when we got to see that although Mandana was declared as the weakest performer, she wasn’t eliminated but instead sent to another secret room! Well, I am sure you are equally confused as I am but not any more guys, because we have just got to hear the final names of the contestants who have been nominated for eliminations this week! Yes!

Mandana was asked to nominate two people on the basis of her observation from the secret room! Wherein she nominated Rochelle Rao and Prince Narula! However, in a surprising turn of events Bigg Boss played its master card by saving Prince and Rochelle and nominating all the remaining contestants. Can you imagine? So now except for Suyyash Rai(as he is the captain) and Prince-Rochelle, everyone including Kishwer Merchantt, Rishabh Sinha, Aman Verma, Digangana Suryavanshi, Rimi Sen and Mandana Karimi have made it to the danger zone this time! Now that’s going to be one interesting eliminations, isn’t it?

We wonder if Aman or Digangana will leave the house this week given that they are creating the least controversies at the moment! Rimi too should have left long back for doing NOTHING but thank her stars, her fans still love her for whatsoever! Nevertheless tell us, who according to you should leave the house this week? Cast your votes in the given box below and we’ll be back with the verdict right here!

Here’s a quick low down on what happened on day 39

A new day comes with a new twist. But tonight’s episode of Bigg Boss 9 was all about exposing each other and getting the worst out of everyone. Read on to get the highlights…

# Mandana re-enters the house

We all know how Mandana was kept in a secret room for a day where she was asked to nominate two contestants, on her return to the house! Well, the pretty babe did come back to the house with a plan but much did anyone know that things would get so nasty on her return! Yes! Mandana’s changed behavior came very evident on her face! While she genuinely met Rishabh Sinha and others, she completely ignored Rochelle Rao and Aman Verma who were her best friends, at one point in time. Why? Because Mandana is offended by all that Rochelle said about her, while she was away!

#Kishwer confronts Rochelle for betraying Mandana’s trust

Although Rochelle spoke against Mandana on purpose as she had to convince her to nominate her and then get immune from eliminations, but Mandana failed to understand this! She blasted on Rochelle for being such a betrayer! That’s when Kishwer grabbed the golden chance and instigated their differences even further! She confronted Rochelle for being such a mastermind and backstabbing the same person who was once her best friend! Rochelle however took it as joke and maintained it was just a game but Kishwer left no stone unturned to pull her down.

#Mandana bluffs about meeting Keith and family

Later in the day Rochelle pretended she knows nothing about Mandana’s secret room and walked up to her to know where was she! Did she meet her boyfriend Keith Sequeira? But much to everyone’s surprise, Mandana faked it saying she met Keith and also said he is in desperate need of his close ones’ She said he is very low and he needs more people by his side! I mean whoa! I wonder how can someone fake so much? That too by taking it to such a sensitive level.

#Nominations

Finally there came the nominations where the ones’ who were been nominated by Mandana got saved while all the remaining contestants made it to the danger zone. So going by the above rule, Rochelle and Prince got saved whereas others including Aman Verma, Rishabh Sinha, Mandana, Rimi Sen, Digangana Suryavanshi and Kishwer geot nominated! Suyyash Rai however escaped this whole fuss courtesy his captaincy!

Mandana-Rochelle argument

Time to confront each other! Now that everyone was aware everything about the task and why Rochelle pretended to be such a bitch, Mandana decided to clarify her observation! While she was unfazed by Kishwer’s hate! She was terribly hurt by Rochelle’s distasteful words about her! Rochelle even tried to convince her that she was just playing a game but Mandana affirmed the game was actually all about exposing the reality and not just the eliminations!

Mandana upset on being called Salman Khan’s favourite

While playing the hate game, Rochelle even happened to mention her thoughts about Salman Khan favoring Mandana more than anybody else on the show. This didn’t go down well with Mandana as Rochelle is the same person who had once taken a stand for her when some fans reacted in similar way during the weekend episode! Nevertheless, Mandana refused to accept that she is favored by Salman or anyone else for that matter.

Rishabh fights with Prince and Aman

Rishabh literally turned on the heat inside the Bigg Boss house by getting into a horrible fight with Prince as well as Aman! While he leveled down to harsh abuses for Prince. He argued until the last minute with Aman. Wonder why? You will be surprised but the reason was nothing but parathas and towel! Yes! Silly fights got nasty and they ended up making really offensive personal remarks on each other.

Tomorrow is again going to be a big day inside the house! Third wild card entrant Kunwaljeet Singh is going to enter the show! And in the meantime, the big fight for captaincy too will take place tomorrow! Stay tuned to BollywoodLife for more updates!

After a successful season one, the makers are back with a new one that has a fresh cast and a new theme

Sangeeta Ghosh and Gautami Kapoor were the life of the party or should we say, press conference at the launch of Parvarrish Season 2.

They were joined by the rest of the cast that includes actors like Sandeep Baswana, Vinay Jain, Deepak Qazi and Meenakshi Sethi. The second season talks about two friends, Simran (Gautami) and Surinder (Sangeeta) who met after a long time when they become neighbours in Delhi. While Surinder is an easy-going but ambitious mom who relocates her family from Amritsar to Delhi to give them better opportunities, Simran is a very strict one. The theme of this season is that parenting has no formula. It is something that you learn with experience. Sangeeta looked ravishing in her pucca Punjabi avatar with a hot pink salwar suit. Gautami, who plays a jewellery designer on the show, looked nice in a contemporary way. She sported a lovely cuff and an interesting cocktail ring. Both the actresses said that they took on the show as the liked its first season and found the concept a universal one. Gautami revealed that her daughter, Sia saw the promo and said that she was exactly like what she is in real life, a disciplinarian. Sangeeta, on the other hand, said that she craved to work in a show that was simple and not as convoluted as the ones we see today. They were joined on the stage by their kids Ria (Bhavika Sharma), Diana (Jassi) and Anuj (Jogi). The team then went on a selfie clicking mode. The show goes on air from November 23 at 9pm on Sony.

There is a lot of buzz about the two actors being more than just good friends though the actor’s spokesperson refutes the rumours

With his exquisite physique, dreamy eyes and sweet smile, Gautam Rode is one of the hottest men in the TV industry.

A lot of his fans are surprised that he is single till now. However, the industry grapevine is abuzz with news that the handsome hunk is currently seeing Shraddha Arya. In December 2014, rumour mills went on an overdrive saying that he was seeing his co-star from his hit show, Saraswatichandra, Jennifer Winget. She had just separated from Karan Singh Grover. They shared a great chemistry on the show, so when Jennifer graced the launch party of Gautam’s Mahakumbh, tongues started wagging. However, the two of them denied the news.

Shraddha Arya is popularly known to TV viewers as Ayesha Sareen from Dream Girl. Her negative act on the show has earned her good reviews. She is one of Gautam’s closest friends and also graced his birthday party this year.

In earlier interviews, Gautam has repeatedly said that he has no time to find a girlfriend or maintain a relationship. When we got in touch with his spokesperson, she denied the news saying, “This is not true. He is single and not dating anyone.” We also texted Shraddha but she did not reply to this message.

Though the two actors might be in denial, industry grapevine says they have developed a special fondness for each other. We guess we have to wait and watch!

Fans of the couple can rejoice as Ishaani will bring Ranveer home from the hospital

After a really long wait, Ishaani (Radhika Madan) and Ranveer (Shakti Arora) will be united on Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi. Yes, we have seen how Ishaani’s ministrations have improved Ranveer’s condition in the hospital. In the coming episodes, she will bring him home to better his condition. Ranveer will enter the house with his face covered in bandages. It will be an emotional reunion as once he enters Amba (Utkarsha Naik) will be a feeling that someone close to her is back home. Even Ishaani will be surprised by the familiarity when she touches him.

However, Ranveer who is comatose will be unable to respond to the environment around him. Given this condition, it is unlikely that the memory loss track will happen. There is another buzz that Ishaani, Ranveer and Manas will join hands to expose Milan. So, will Ranveer make an attempt to trick Milan?

In the mean time, we will see how Milan is developing feelings for Ishaani and does not want to let her go. There is a lot of heartbreak in store for Ishaani who is shocked at how much Ranveer has changed. In the coming episodes, we will see her begging him for his love. The coming episodes promise a lot of excitement for IshVeer fans, who are hoping that the couple reunite after this long drama.

You’ve got to read on to find out what he has to say in this EXCLUSIVE conversation with BollywoodLife

Recently there were reports of Rimi Sen being paid a whopping amount of Rs 2 crore as the signing amount for Bigg Boss 9. It was revealed that apart from charging this huge sum, the actress is even earning an additional amount on weekly basis which is close to about Rs 5 lakh per week. I personally was really shocked when I heard this because why the hell will a show pay so much money to someone who is not even interested in being a part of the show? Why will they pay someone a fee more than the winning amount(Rs 50 lakh)? It would be really unfair and moreover it looks way too unfeasible! So hoping to get a clear picture on this alarming pay roll, I got in touch with Bigg Boss 8 winner Gautam Gulati considering he obviously would know what goes around Bigg Boss and if the show actually pays such huge bulks in crores as the signing amount!

Well, but Gautam was as shocked as we are. He said, “See I had got a good amount. Winning amount was good and even what they offered me while I was in the house was decent. But Rs 2 crore is way too much! I don’t think the show will pay so much for any contestant. There is definitely some kind of misunderstanding. They would rather get someone from foreign country if they really had to pay such big amount! So I don’t think there is any truth in Rimi being paid Rs 2 crore!

Well now that clarifies a lot of fuss, isn’t it? Keep watching this space as we’ll be back with more revelations made by Gautam right here, only on BollywoodLife!

Ragini will get a tight slap on her face while Lakshya beats up Sanskaar

The week will end on an eventful note in Swaragini. We are seeing how Ragini (Tejaswi Prakash Wayagankar) is leaving no stone unturned to tarnish Swara’s (Helly Shah) image before the family by showcasing that she is two-timing both Lakshya (Namish Taneja) and Sanskaar (Varun Kapoor). In the coming episodes, she will tell Sanskaar that Lakshya and Swara are going out of town for a holiday. This will upset him considerably. In the mean time, Lakshya will have a massive argument with Sanskaar when he learns that he is buying a house for Swara. The two brothers will come down to blows.

Swara will finally realize that Ragini is creating all this confusion to spoil her image before the family. Lakshya will say that Ragini’s true character has come to the fore and that Swara should reunite with them. Angry and upset, Swara will give a tight slap to Ragini in front of the entire family.

Ragini is burning with jealousy as Lakshya and Sanskaar are both in love with Swara. She will place a bomb in Sanskaar’s car to kill him. However, he will survive and we will see Swara getting closer to him. There is strong buzz that she will confess her love for Sanskaar and they will be inseparable. As per buzz, a number of romantic moments are in store.

Then, Ragini will get kidnapped and the blame will fall on Swara, Sanskaar and Lakshya. The kidnapping track will then take the story forward. For SwaSan fans, the highlight will be the love between Swara and Sanskaar.

In order to make her possession act look convincing, Ishita will physically hurt someone. But who? Find out!

In the last episode, we saw Mihir(Raj Singh Arora) telling Raman(Karan Patel)  that he was certain about Ishita putting up a fake act regrading her possession. He suggested that Ishita(Divyanka Tripathi) was merely acting possessed and wasn’t the same in truth, as she had never hurt anyone from the Bhalla family. Raman and Mihir decided that they would try and figure out, why Ishita was doing so. Later, the two had a word with Prateek who manipulated them into believing that Ishita was actually possessed, as he didn’t want the plan to be revealed. Prateek called up Ishita and asked her to meet him. He told her about Raman’s suspicion regarding her behaviour and asked her to mildly injure someone, in order to prove herself. Ishita vehemently denied. Meanwhile, the Bhallas decided that they would call a tantrik home to cure Ishita.

In the upcoming episode, we will see Ishita acting violent and this time, she would take it too far. The tantrik will come home and Ishita will kick him out of the house. Furher, she will try to attack Romi with a knife! Apart from this, Raman will get suspicious about Ishita’s behaviour. She will prepare butter chicken and will offer it to Raman, who upon seeing this, will storm off. Shagun will inform Ishita that never had butter chicken prepared by her as he didn’t like the taste of it. Ishita will get worried as her secret will be in danger.

Will Raman figure out that Ishita is lying? Will Romi be alright? Stay tuned for more updates!

How did Tina Dutta’s name suddenly crop up in the Raman Handa-Divya Arya affair…Here is a closer look

Mid-week, we got the shocking news of the impending marriage between Raman Handa and actress Shraddha Arya’s sister, Divya getting called off. The two had already done a registered marriage earlier this year in June 15 and the marriage was supposed to take place on November 26. Apparently, the wedding has been called off as the Arya family found out that Raman was having an affair with Uttaran actress and Khatron Ke Khiladi 7 contestant Tina Dutta. In an interview to a leading daily, Raman has said that she’s just a friend and celebrations have been called off due to health issues.

However, there is buzz that Tina’s name has been unnecessarily dragged into the matter. While it is a known fact that she and Raman are good friends, there has never been the slightest gossip about a love affair between the two. In fact, Tina has had a very controversy-free career and has a clean image. So, the question of her breaking a relationship between the two is being doubted by many, who refuse to believe it.

As per rumour mills, Raman and Divya have been having differences from quite some time now. A working woman, Divya has had one failed marriage behind her. As per a source, Divya’s divorced status was never an issue with Raman who wanted to get married to her. However, the couple had compatibility issues and their differences escalated in recent times. They were just not gelling on any matter, which is why the marriage was called off. Incidentally, there has been no quote from Divya on this entire matter.

The timing of this Tina angle is also being questioned by many. As we know, she is in Argentina for Khatron Ke Khiladi 7 and is apparently unaware of these developments. There is a speculation that her name was thrown in to take away the spotlight from the real trouble between Raman and Divya. When we texted Raman about the story, he did not reply to our message.

Raman Handa, a former contestant of Rakhi Ka Swayamvar is now known as an astrologer, interior designer and Vaastu consultant. Earlier this year, he made news when he said he will invite controversial godwoman Radhe Maa for a Mata Ki Chowki at his place before his wedding. When we got in touch with Shraddha Arya, she requested for privacy stating, “I appreciate your trying to clarify things but I am not really seeking any kind of public and media attention out of my sister’s misery. It’s our time to give our utmost support to my sister than play the blame game. I did like to be private on the matter. Thanks.” It should be noted that Shraddha and Tina know each other socially being from the same industry.

With questions being raised over how did Tina get dragged into this matter, we feel there is more than what meets the eye.
