Naagin actress Puja Sharma returns to TV after seven years with Jhanak: I couldn't have asked for a better comeback
After a seven-year hiatus, actress Puja Sharma is back — and she's returning with fire in her eyes. Known for her roles in Naagin , Jyoti , Dil Se Dil Tak , Mere Angne Mei n, and Devon Ke Dev Mahadev , Sharma returns with a character she describes as "strong and layered," a choice made consciously after turning down offers that didn't resonate. She will enter Jhanak, playing Kanka — a fierce, grey-shaded tribal woman from a Naxalite backdrop. 'After a sabbatical, I didn't want to take up just anything. I was waiting for the right moment,' says Sharma, pointing out how the medium tends to typecast actresses over 30. 'On television, you often get roles based on your age, and once you cross 30, you're mostly offered characters like Chachi, Bhabhi, Didi, or Devrani—which is fine, as long as the role is challenging. When I heard the brief for this particular character, I just knew it was the one. I couldn't have asked for a better comeback—it's a fantastic role.' The actor admits that while she stayed visible through commercials and a yet-to-be-released film, the absence of long-format storytelling left a creative void. 'I definitely missed acting—no denying that. Although I did shoot for a movie during this time (still waiting for its release), and I also worked on several TV commercials. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo But I missed living a character for more than just a day,' she says. 'Commercials are typically one-day shoots, while on television, you get to truly live the character over time. You get more screen presence, more time and space to perform—and that's absolutely thrilling for any actor.' Her comeback role, she explains, offers her just that—the chance to explore a nuanced persona with depth and emotional heft. 'It's a grey character—I'm playing a strong tribal girl who is part of a Naxalite group. She's a gundi ,' Sharma shares. 'Coincidentally, I'm from Jharkhand, and since childhood, many tribal people have worked at my home. I've closely observed their mannerisms—the way they speak, dress, carry themselves. So when I found out about this character, I was genuinely excited. It felt like something I deeply resonated with.' The show she joins already enjoys a considerable following, but Sharma isn't weighed down by the expectations. 'Honestly, I wouldn't say I feel pressure. On the contrary, I'm excited!' she asserts. 'I think it's every actor's dream to portray a strong, meaningful character—and I'm finally getting that opportunity. I'm really happy.' She concludes with a grounded perspective on storytelling. 'Characters are like spices in food—they bring flavor. Without flavor, any dish is bland, and similarly, every character brings something unique to a story.'

When Jaya Bachchan Said Amitabh Bachchan Wasn't ‘Attractive' In Women's Clothes: ‘He's Too…'
Last Updated: Jaya Bachchan opens up on Amitabh Bachchan's Laawaris track Mere Angne Mein, which remains one of Hindi cinema's most iconic songs. Amitabh Bachchan's Laawaris track Mere Angne Mein remains one of Hindi cinema's most iconic songs — a cult classic that's loved for its quirky, satirical take on societal stereotypes. The 1981 hit, composed by Kalyanji-Anandji and performed with full dramatic flair by Amitabh Bachchan himself, showcases the megastar in multiple humorous avatars — including, famously, dressed in women's clothes. Years later, in a candid 1998 interview on Rediff, Jaya Bachchan opened up about the making of that unforgettable sequence. She revealed how Amitabh 'didn't look very attractive" in a saree. Jaya said, 'Though the Laawaris song is a traditional song for UP, I think Amitji does not look a very attractive person in a woman's gear. Specially, he's too tall to look like a woman." Even today, Mere Angne Mein is remembered fondly. It's a fun, bold performance that still makes people smile. Whether it's played at weddings or parties, the song brings back memories of a time when Bollywood wasn't afraid to be a little silly — and Amitabh Bachchan led the way. Not long back, a video went viral on Reddit. In it, Amitabh Bachchan is seen at an event singing Mere Angne Mein at an event. But here's the twist — Jaya Bachchan is right there by his side, and Amitabh, ever the showman, doesn't miss a beat. As he crooned the cheeky lyrics 'Jiski biwi chhoti, uska bhi bada naam hai… gode mein bitha lo, bachhe ka kya kaam hai," he picked up Jaya in his arms and broke into a little dance, leaving the crowd in splits and the internet obsessed. Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan got married in 1973 in a private ceremony and continue to be one of Bollywood's most loved couples. They have been married for more than 50 years now and have two children, Shweta Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan. They also have three grandchildren – Agastya Nanda, Navya Naveli Nanda, and Aaradhya Bachchan. On the work front, Jaya Bachchan is all set to star in Vikas Bahl's fun-filled family entertainer titled 'Dil Ka Darwaaza Khol Na Darling' with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Wamiqa Gabbi. First Published:

Charu Asopa Says She Didn't Stop Rajeev Sen From Meeting Daughter: 'Jab Mann Karta Hai...'
Last Updated: Charu Asopa and Rajeev Sen, who married in 2019, parted ways in 2023 and since then, have been co-parenting their daughter Zaina. Charu Asopa and Rajeev Sen's separation is not a secret. The two, who married in 2019, parted ways in 2023 and since then, have been co-parenting their daughter Zaina – who lives with Charu. However, in one of her recent YouTube vlogs, the actress clarified that she had never stopped Rajeev from meeting Zaina, even after their divorce. The former Mere Angne Mein actress reacted to a few comments that claimed that Zaina was missing a father figure. Charu clarified that it was not the case and revealed that Rajeev often visits or calls them. 'I have been reading comments when Ziana hugged her Mausaji, there were people commenting that she was missing the father figure. But I think you all didn't see the previous vlog, she hugged her masi the same way. Whenever she loves someone and meets them after long, she hugs them all with the same warmth. She isn't missing any father figure. And if there is anything like that, she can talk and call," she said. 'Rajeev also calls her, video calls also happen. Aap log itna hyper mat kijiye. Agar kisine jhoote interviews de diye toh iska matlab nahi hai ki sach badal jayega. Even after our divorce, I have been there at many occasions, we even went on vacations together. We have been there, jab bhi unka Mann karta tha woh aa jate hai. Unke convenience pe. He would stay with us for the whole day. There hasn't been anytime that there have been any boundaries or limitations. He can come and meet whenever he wants," the actress added. Meanwhile, Charu Asopa has moved to Bikaner. Earlier, Charu opened up about her decision to leave Mumbai and told ETimes, 'Living in Mumbai is not easy; it costs money. For me, the monthly living cost came up to Rs 1 lakh -1.5 lakh, including the rent and everything, which was not easy. Furthermore, I would rather not leave Ziana alone with a nanny when I am shooting in Naigaon (Mumbai). It used to get extremely difficult. Moving back home and starting my own thing was completely planned; it wasn't a rushed decision." First Published: June 06, 2025, 08:02 IST

Your heart might tell you it's the right choice, yet the doubts and discouragement from people around you can make you second-guess yourself. For instance, when I was planning to shift to Bikaner many people told me it is a wrong decision and I won't be able to do it and many other negative comments. Despite all the negativity, I trusted my instincts and went ahead with it. The lesson here is simple: follow your heart, and don't let others' opinions stop you from doing what feels right."

" She urged her fans to be kindness and spread love, "The world needs more kindness and love, so spread that wherever you can. If someone constantly speaks negatively about you, it just shows what they carry inside. Try to be kind even to those who speak badly about you. Often, we judge people who hurt us, but maybe they've gone through something tough, which made them the way they are. So keep that in mind—stay kind and stay happy. " All My Firsts Ft.
