Abhishek Malik on his tapri moment for Jamai No. 1: If I'm going to be a chaiwala on screen, I might as well be one off-screen too
In a heartwarming twist on Jamai No. 1, viewers recently saw Neel, played by Abhishek Malik, don the avatar of a chaiwala to woo his on-screen wife Riddhi (
Simaran Kaur
). As part of a unique romantic gesture, Neel takes Riddhi on an old-school 'tapri date,' where he dresses up as a teaseller and serves her a hot cup of chai, turning a simple beverage into a symbol of love and nostalgia.
But what truly made the day special was what brewed behind the scenes!
Abhishek Malik, who completely immersed himself in the role, decided to take things a notch higher, not just acting like a chaiwala for the camera, but becoming one for the cast and crew off-camera as well. Despite having never made tea before in his life, the actor surprised everyone on set by taking over the tea duty. With some help from the spot boys and kitchen team, he learned the art of brewing the perfect cup and went on a chai-serving spree during breaks between shots.
Abhishek said, 'This track was honestly one of the most fun sequences I've shot in a while. When I heard the concept, I was instantly excited — it was such a sweet and goofy way for my character to express love. I thought, if I'm going to be a chaiwala on screen, I might as well be one off-screen too! I had no clue how to make tea, but the crew was super helpful. I learned quickly and decided to treat my on-screen family and the crew members on the set with a hot cup of chai — proper adrak, elaichi aur laung wali chai! I really wanted to give it that classic, cutting-chai tapri vibe.
Though I still don't know if I got it right, everyone was super encouraging. It turned into this whole thing where we had a mini chai session between takes. Everyone was so sporting about it, even those who don't usually drink tea gave it a try. It just created such a warm, happy vibe on set. Moments like these remind me how much fun this job can be.'
While Abhishek Malik's impromptu chai-serving spree and infectious energy left everyone on set with a smile and a sip of something special, the upcoming track will take a dramatic turn as Sayli (played by Sonal Vengurlekar) attempts to drive a wedge between Riddhi and Neel by manipulating situations and creating misunderstandings. Will her tactics succeed, or will love triumph in the end?

Lizzo opens about her weight loss journey after refuting rumours of using Ozempic: 'It's not easy'
Pop sensation Lizzo recently addressed her weight loss rumours and opened about her drastic weight loss journey. Months after refuting rumors that she used Ozempic and other GLP-1 weight loss pills, pop sensation Lizzo acknowledged that she did use them. The singer of About Damn Time confessed that she "tried everything" to reduce her weight, including weight loss injections, in a recent episode of Trisha Paytas' Just Trish podcast, which was released on Thursday, June 19. 'It's not easy,' said Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson. She said, 'Ozempic works because you eat less food. That's it. It makes you feel full, so if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same s--t.' The singer revealed that while she was experimenting with trendy weight loss medicines like Ozempic, she ultimately decided to focus on managing her calorie intake. 'It's just the science for me, calories in versus calories out,' she said. During the conversation the four time Grammy winner also revealed that she stopped being vegan after nearly a decade and changed her diet completely. 'When I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats, I was eating a lot of bread, I was eating a lot of rice, and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full,' she shared. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo 'But really, I was consuming like 3,000 to 5,000 calories a day.' Her change started when she traveled to Japan and saw an evident shift in the way her body reacted to animal-based meals. The Japanese diet is supposedly the healthiest in the world, according to Lizzo. She said, 'My body was so happy. My body was like, 'More, more please.' And I was like, 'OK, this is what my body likes.'' Since every person's body is unique, Lizzo revealed that she doesn't want to give away too much about her own weight loss strategies in fear, that others won't get the same results. Although she didn't specify the brand or time she tried GLP-1, drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have grown in popularity as weight reduction aids. These medications, which were originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, are now frequently used to aid in weight loss.
