Sagar Parekh, who is playing a crucial role Jagriti – Ek Nayi Subah, had a wholesome moment with his co-stars on the set. Sagar is working alongside Arya Babbar and Vijayendra Kumeria in the show. While the three portray intense characters on screen, their off-screen bond is warm and genuine. In the latest, Sagar treated Aarya and Vijayendra to the traditional Bihari dish litti chokha made at his home.
Speaking about the special gesture, Sagar Parekh told IANS, 'I had often spoken about Litti Chokha on set, and both Aarya sir and Vijayendra were eager to try it. They kept saying it was on their must-try list for a while now, so I felt this was the perfect opportunity to bring some homemade Litti Chokha—a special delicacy from my hometown—for everyone to enjoy, especially made by mom. Their reaction was absolutely priceless. They loved it wholeheartedly and couldn't stop praising the flavours!"
When asked about presenting his co-actors and the crew to homemade Litti Chokha, Sagar replied that sharing a piece of his culture with his co-stars and watching everyone savour the food transformed an ordinary shooting day into a touching and memorable event. He added, 'Seeing their excitement and appreciation made me feel incredibly proud and fulfilled."
Previously, Sagar Parekh spoke openly about his off-screen relationship with Arya Babbar, noting that their chemistry behind the scenes was very different from the tense father-son relationship depicted on the show. Sagar described Arya's energy as 'unmatched," and explained how the two would frequently joke about, have spontaneous fun, and fill the set with contagious laughter, turning even the most serious shoot days into moments of light-hearted friendship.
Sagar Parekh is known for his role as Samar In the popular TV show Anupamaa. Sagar has also acted in the TV show Mera Balam Thanedar and is currently seen in Jagriti Ek Nayi Subah. Rachana Mistry plays the lead in the show and is seen opposite Sagar.

‘Maharaj' director says his intention was not to cause controversy but tell honest story of journalist with his film

Mumbai: Director Siddharth P. Malhotra, whose film 'Maharaj' has clocked a year of its release, has shared that they didn't intend to ruffle the feathers with the film, and only wanted to tell an honest story of a journalist. The director spoke with IANS recently, and shared how he pitted actors Junaid Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat. The film marked Junaid's debut, and saw him going head to head with Jaideep, who essayed the titular role of the antagonist. Talking about the process of approaching the characters, the director told IANS, 'We had done a lot of rehearsals and reading. It is my responsibility as a director to bring Jaideep in front of the camera. You know what you are doing from the first day. So, if you could not deliver that confidence, it is your mistake as a director. Sharvari did not play such a role. She could have been a ham. She could have gone wrong if she would have done the acting loudly. But she did it well. We trained Sharvari and Junaid in the same house. It was a lot of hard work'. He further mentioned, 'Our intention was very pure. We were not making a film for controversy. We were making a story of a journalist who fought for women when the MeToo movement did not even exist. The message of the film is that you belong to your God'. 'Junaid and Karsan say that as a society, if we do not change our perspective, we will go on for thousands of years. The names of such gurus would have changed but the social evil would have stayed. Karsan, Junaid's character, dared to change that', he added. 'Maharaj' is based on journalist and social reformer Karsandas Mulji, and sees Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan's son - Junaid playing the protagonist. Having studied at the Elphinstone College in Mumbai, Karsandas Mulji, was a protege of the scholar-leader Dadabhai Naoroji. He was a member of the Gujarati Gnanprasarak Mandalli (Gujarati Society for the Spread of Knowledge), and was a friend of prominent Gujarati reformists such as poet Narmad and educationist Mahipatram Neelkanth. He came under fire of conservative Gujarati society of its time because of his article, which criticised Vaishnava Archaryas (Hindu religious leaders) for their behaviour. The article resulted in the Maharaj Libel Case in 1862 on which the film is based. The film was released on Netflix.

‘Insightful experience': People praise Acharya Prashant for revealing Yoga's true meaning

New Delhi: On the occasion of International Day of Yoga, spiritual teacher and philosopher Acharya Prashant received widespread acclaim across the country for his transformative discourse titled "Yoga in the Light of the Bhagavad Gita." Delivered live from Goa and broadcast across more than 40 cinema halls in India, the event marked a unique spiritual milestone, turning theatres into arenas of introspection, reflection, and philosophical engagement. Citizens from cities including Raipur, Kolkata, Jodhpur, Goa, and Bilaspur expressed deep appreciation for the talk, saying it changed their understanding of yoga. IANS spoke to several audience members across the country, and a common sentiment emerged: Acharya Prashant has redefined the way millions perceive yoga, shifting the focus from physical postures to inner clarity and spiritual strength. "Yoga is not yoga, it's Yog," says a young seeker from Goa Nutan, a 24-year-old from Goa who attended the live session, said: 'I liked it. I am 24, and today, for the first time, I discovered the real meaning of yoga. Yoga is not about flexibility or posture; it is about achieving our highest potential. 'Yog' is the right word, it is not an exercise but a way to evolve.' Hitesh, another attendee in Goa, added, 'Today I realised that Yoga is about knowing who you truly are. I understood so many new things that were never clear before.' Raipur residents also experienced a spiritual shift A resident of Raipur told IANS: 'Earlier, I thought Yoga was simply about physical fitness. But after listening to Acharya Prashant, I now understand that yoga is about gaining inner clarity. To end sorrow, that is Yoga. Today gave me a whole new perspective.' Another viewer from Raipur said, 'Acharya Prashant speaks with such depth. He wants to cleanse the soul. He emphasised that a true Yogi is someone who knows themselves. It was a powerful message.' The Kolkata audience also finds a new purpose in Yoga. Attendees in Kolkata also echoed similar sentiments. 'Until today, I thought yoga was just about stretching and breathing exercises. But now I understand that Yoga is about identifying the root cause of our sorrow and eradicating it from within. That is what true yoga is.' Jodhpur audiences connect deeply with the Gita's message From Jodhpur, a viewer who was present there said, 'He explained the real meaning of Yoga. I used to think it was only about physical routines, but now I realise it's about becoming fearless, letting go, and reaching your best version.' Another local attendee noted, 'Acharya Prashant explained Yoga in such detail. It's not about bending the body, but transforming the self from within.' Bilaspur also sees spiritual awakening. A resident from Bilaspur said, 'Yoga is about reaching our highest potential. As Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita, 'Yoga is disconnection from sorrow.' That truth hit hard today.' Another attendee remarked, 'Yoga is much more than physical fitness. It's about discovering the reason behind our sadness and overcoming it. Acharya Prashant gave us a deeper understanding of the Gita's teachings. It was a truly insightful experience.' The event, jointly organised by the PrashantAdvait Foundation and PVR-INOX, marked the first time the Bhagavad Gita was discussed in cinema halls — venues traditionally reserved for entertainment. Cities like Mumbai, Pune, Gurugram, Patna, Indore, and Bhopal witnessed audiences purchasing tickets not for a blockbuster movie but for a spiritual discourse rooted in ancient wisdom. Acharya Prashant's message offered a direct challenge to the commodification of yoga in the modern world. 'The Yoga of the Gita is not about physical flexibility. It is about inner invincibility,' he declared. "Arjuna was asked to rise, not to stretch. The ancient Yogis were not posing for social media likes,' Acharya Prashant said in his talk. 'They were warriors of truth. In the Gita, Arjuna was not told to meditate or do breathing exercises. He was stirred to act wisely in the midst of war. Yoga is your battle against inner inertia, against doubt, against fear.' A bestselling author of over 160 books, Acharya Prashant is the founder of PrashantAdvait Foundation. His interdisciplinary teachings fuse Vedanta, Buddhism, existential philosophy, and modern psychology, making the wisdom of Indian scriptures accessible and applicable in everyday life. He currently leads one of the world's largest Bhagavad Gita teaching programmes, with over one lakh active participants globally. His recent initiative — the world's largest Gita-based online spiritual examination — has drawn seekers from across continents.
