Exclusive- Sheetal Maulik: TV's daily connection with the audience makes it rewarding
While TV actors have a very hectic life, the chance to reach so many people at once is what makes the medium a favourite, says actress Sheetal Maulik. Sheetal, who plays the role of Priya in Meri Bhavya Life, says that TV characters are more relatable and people love to follow their stories on screen. 'TV is indeed demanding, but the daily connection with the audience makes it rewarding. A daily soap allows actors to build a strong bond with viewers, making their characters more relatable and endearing. Actors immerse themselves in their characters' emotions, making their portrayals authentic and engaging. Some viewers might imitate actors in real life, which can be a testament to the actor's convincing performance,' she says. Talking about the importance of feedback, she says, 'My family's feedback matters greatly to me, as their support and encouragement motivate me to perform better. Their pride in my work is a significant driving force behind my passion for acting.' She adds, 'I focus on positive feedback and ignore negative comments, as trolls often seek attention. I've learned to develop a thick skin and not let criticism affect my self-worth or passion for my craft.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Morocco: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo Meanwhile, she says that the show has a lot of upcoming twists and turns for the audience.

Prisha Dhatwalia opens up about plus size fashion in 'Meri Bhavya Life': The outfit should fit you, you shouldn't have to fit the outfit
Wedding bells are about to ring in 'Meri Bhavya Life' as Bhavya (played by Prisha Dhatwalia) and Rishank (Karan Vohra) prepare for their big day, a season of rituals, excitement, and the cherished search for that perfect bridal outfit. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now For many, it's a dream painted in pastels, fiery reds, or something uniquely their own. But behind the shimmer of sequins and silk lies a silent struggle, one that too often goes unnoticed. While most brides dream of their wedding look, plus-size women often face a different reality. In the current track of Meri Bhavya Life, Bhavya finds herself at the receiving end of cruel mind games by Rishank's mother, Sakshi. She guilt-trips Bhavya into wearing a dress that's clearly too tight, forcing Bhavya to make last-minute alterations just to feel comfortable. But Sakshi's plan doesn't end there. In front of a crowd, Bhavya's dupatta slips off, and photographers quickly start snapping pictures. Whispers and taunts follow with people commenting on how the dress doesn't fit and how her arms look 'off.' What was supposed to be a special moment turns into public embarrassment. Prisha Dhatwalia, who has become a voice for body positivity, opens up about how this kind of shaming is way too common and the emotional toll is takes on people who don't fit the 'desirable' size while bridal shopping. In a society obsessed with one-size-fits-all beauty standards, shopping for bridal wear when you don't fit the 'ideal' mold can become an emotionally taxing experience. Prisha Dhatwalia on plus size bridal fashion says, 'Everyone talks about how exciting it is to shop for your wedding outfit, the colours, the styles, the sparkle, but no one talks about the fear that creeps in when you know most of what's on the rack won't fit you. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Suddenly, the options shrink. You're either offered oversized silhouettes with no shape, or told you'll need to alter your body to wear the things you actually love. It's so unfair. There's so much pressure to 'transform' yourself for your wedding to go on crash diets, to hide your arms, to look 'slimmer' for the photos. I've heard so many brides say they'll only buy their outfit after they lose weight. Why? Why should the happiest moment of your life begin with shame and sacrifice? Your bridal outfit should celebrate you — not punish you. I believe that the outfit should fit you, you shouldn't have to fit the outfit. Every bride deserves to feel beautiful, celebrated, and comfortable on her big day, no matter her size. You shouldn't have to shrink yourself to fit into some fantasy that was never built for bodies like ours.' Remo D'Souza's wife Lizelle D'Souza opens up about her weight loss journey: 'You need to be a little selfish towards yourself'

Hiten Tejwani on Gujarati film: Was tough to speak the language fluently
Having explored Hindi films, TV and OTT, actor Hiten Tejwani has now delved into Gujarati cinema. With Sanghavi and Sons releasing next month, the actor says working on Gujarati projects wasn't a cakewalk for him. 'Even though I understood it, it was tough to speak the language fluently. I learned my lines on set and it was exciting because I got to discover a new process. That's the thrill of being an actor,' he says. Hiten also returned to TV this year after a two-year gap with Meri Bhavya Life. He admits that the medium has evolved. 'There used to be a fixed idea in the industry — you had to look a certain way, have a perfect body to make it. But now, that's changing,' he explains, adding, 'There are also so many shows and platforms. Attention spans have shortened, so the storytelling pace has changed. Back in the day, a wedding sequence would run for months. Today, the same thing wraps up in a few episodes. Everything's faster and the audience wants to see more content in the given time.' Recently, industry has been abuzz with the reboot of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (KSBKBT). Having been a part of the iconic show, Hiten only has gratitude for the experience: 'KSBKBT gave me so much. I have countless memories — like being called to shoot suddenly after wrapping another show, not knowing what I was getting into. But I just went with it, and it turned out to be a big step in my career.' While he has forayed across mediums, Hiten insists that he is often labelled as still a 'TV actor'. However, instead of lamenting, he rejoices in it. 'I don't mind it. TV gave me everything and I know what I'm doing. I've also done OTT, films, regional cinema, theatre, and people who know me and follow my work, understand that. I don't need to prove anything. My work speaks for itself,' he ends.

World Environment Day is a reminder to care for our planet: Sheetal Maulik
Sheetal Maulik, TV actress who is essaying the role of Priya in Meri Bhavya Life feels the need for unity to protect nature and build a cleaner, greener future because "a healthy Earth begins with us," she says, adding, " World Environment Day is observed on June 5, serving as a reminder for all of us to care for our planet." She adds, "Every small step we take makes a big difference. We need to save the environment because it's the foundation of life on Earth, providing essential resources like air, water and food. However, human activities are degrading the environment at an alarming rate, threatening our very existence." Sheetal says that even simple actions can make a significant difference. "For instance, ditching plastic bottles and opting for reusable ones can reduce plastic waste and pollution. Similarly, using public transport, carpooling, or cycling can decrease air pollution and carbon emissions ," she says. Sheetal, who has worked in shows like Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, Barsatein – Mausam Pyaar Ka, Suhaagan, Deewaniyat says, "Reducing meat consumption, using energy-efficient appliances, and recycling can also contribute to environmental conservation. By incorporating these habits into our daily lives, we can collectively mitigate the damage and work towards a more sustainable future." Shifting the onus on human beings to understand the issue, she says, "People fail to understand that our body's internal environment is as important as is the external. So I truly believe that meditation and being with oneself for at least 10 mins a day can make us better thinkers and it will only contribute to the outer world."
