The actor was asked to leave the show midway, but he didn't give up on his hopes. Talking about the incident, Paras opened up to say that many people had told him he was taking a big risk and warned him, but he wanted to take the chance. 'Not everyone gets that opportunity. And if I hadn't, maybe I would've felt sad," he stated while thanking God for giving him the chance to prove himself. Recalling this tough time, Paras explained that he never had self-doubt during this time. 'Even when my family had concerns about why I suddenly had to leave the show, I told them, 'I want to do what's right, not just what's big,'" the actor stated proudly.

TV actor tells Anushka Sharma's guru Premanandji Maharaj he's been cursed with black magic; guru laughs: ‘They're trying to fool you'
The spiritual guru Premanandji Maharaj has several celebrity followers, the most popular of whom are without a doubt Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma. Over the years, he has also interacted with the likes of Ashutosh Rana and others. Recently, he offered words of advice to TV actors Paras Chhabra and Karan Khandelwal, who approached him with serious personal concerns. Paras said that he was so depressed that he didn't leave his house for multiple years, while Karan was sure that someone had cast a dark spell over him. Paras said, 'I listened to your advice and chanted the name of Radha Rani. My mother moved to Vrindavan after listening to your sermons. When I started making a name for myself, and began earning, I bought a house in Vrindavan as well. Before I became spiritual, I used to suffer from anxiety and depression. I didn't leave my house for three or four years. I was sure that I was going to die. I was sure I had cancer. I was overthinking, and I was overwhelmed by negative thoughts. Now, I'm completely fine.'

Another television actor, Karan Khandelwal, told the guru that he hasn't yet emerged from whatever difficulties he's experiencing. He said that people he has consulted have told him that he's under the influence of black magic. 'No, you aren't. If there was magic, you wouldn't have been here,' the guru said, adding, 'There is no such thing as black magic, someone is trying to scam you, that's all.'

There is no such thing as ghosts. I'm telling you.' The guru advised Karan not to sit idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's playground,' he said, telling him to exercise and chant the name 'Radha'. 'Nobody has done any magic on you, neither black nor yellow. If you fall for all this, they'll suck you dry. They just want to rob you,' he said. Some weeks ago, Virat and Anushka paid a visit to the guru's ashram. He asked Virat, 'Prasanna ho (Are you happy)?' Virat answered, 'Ji, abhi thik hain (Yes, I'm okay).' Advising the couple, the guru said, 'Prosperity is not merely God's grace — it is the result of virtue (punya). It is considered to be a movement toward the divine. What truly matters is the transformation of your inner self… Live just as you are living now, fully engaged in the world, but let your inner self change. Let there be no desire for recognition or fame within. Your inner thoughts should be: 'Lord, enough of all worldly experiences, now, I seek only You)'.'

DNA samples collected, it's 72-hour agonising wait for the Kamdar family to get remains
1 2 Nagpur: The agonising wait of victims' families, including the Kamdars of Nagpur, for bodies of their loved ones has now extended to 72 hours after DNA samples were collected, amidst the grief sweeping them. The samples from charred bodies will be matched with the ones collected from their kin before identifying them. A day after the crash, the anger of the Kamdars exploded over the ignorance of the maintenance staff, who may have ignored a possible technical snag in the aircraft, which was reported by the passengers of the connecting flight. "The flight came from Delhi to Ahmedabad. The ones who alighted at Ahmedabad expressed disappointment regarding the AC not working and other discomforts. These complaints were probably not attended to during the one-hour maintenance break at Ahmedabad before it took off," said Paras Kamdar, cousin of Yasha, who died in the crash along with her two-year-old son, Rudra, and mother-in-law Rakshaben. "The authorities collected samples from the victim's parents for matching. All we are getting are assurances and consolations, but what about the trust that was betrayed," he asked, adding there was a discrepancy in maintenance of the aircraft and all red flags were ignored. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Paras, who was with the grieving family, also questioned the trustworthiness of the aviation sector.

Paras Kalnawat Joins Parineetii Post-Leap, Promises Never-Seen-Before Avatar
Pratiksha Honmukhe and Paras Kalnawat have joined the cast after the leap. The popular television show Parineetii continues to captivate viewers with its riveting plot and unexpected turns. The show has recently taken a major leap and introduced some fresh characters and twists. Pratiksha Honmukhe and Paras Kalnawat have joined the cast after the leap. Paras has been part of several TV shows now, but for this, his character in this daily soap is different and unique. Speaking about his role as Aditya in Parineetii, Paras Kalnawat told IWMBuzz, 'Aditya is a strong character who loves his family. He is close to his Dadi, who wants him to achieve big roles. He is someone who does not believe in love. I have played lover boy roles, the cute and boyish roles, before. But this role is of a man who does not believe in love, has a back story and a depth in him. I am playing this side of any character for the first time. I have never played anything similar to Aditya before." Moreover, Paras also shared why he said yes to the show. While he had seen glimpses of the Parineetii before, what persuaded him was the channel and the production house, Balaji Telefilms. 'What could be better than seeing a Colors and Balaji show again? I didn't want to pass up the opportunity to reconnect with the Balaji family," he said. Paras has earlier worked with Balaji Telefilms during his stint in Kundali Bhagya which went off air last year. Parineetii, produced by Ektaa Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor, started airing on February 14, 2022. The show depicts the emotional journey of two closest friends, Parineet Kakkar and Neeti Juneja, who unexpectedly marry the same man. This twist added levels of drama and intensity, drawing the audience in. Parineetii continues to do well in TRP ratings and is consistently ranked among the top 20 shows in the BARC rankings. Parineetii also features Tanvi Dogra, Ankur Verma and Aachal Sahu in pivotal roles since the show's inception. First Published:

EXCLUSIVE Bungling police spark military base alert as they wrongly issue warnings of 'Lee Rigby-style' threat to British paratroopers
Thousands of Army troops and their families were alerted to a 'Lee Rigby-style' threat at their base after an administrative error by police. The elite Paras were banned from wearing uniform or any military regalia after cops warned a suspect may be planning an attack. A man's name and photograph were circulated across Colchester Garrison and soldiers were warned their partners and children could be targeted. But it emerged this afternoon that the threatening online post which prompted the alert was actually made last year. It is understood that due to an error logging the date the post was made, military officials were mistakenly informed it was a new threat. No action was taken against the man who made the post. Earlier today before the blunder was revealed, defence sources confirmed the identity and image that were being circulated. The warning to soldiers and dependents referred specifically to the fatal attack on Fusilier Lee Rigby in 2013. But the alert in Colchester, where the Paras' second and third battalions are based, was stood down yesterday when it emerged the threat was a year old. Police intercepted the suspect's messages last year. But due to an administration error, police warned the Ministry of Defence this week that Paras could face a fatal attack. The suspect's recent release from prison on an unrelated charge is understood to be why his conduct a year ago came to be re-examined. Around 3,500 troops, 750 civilian staff and their dependents live in and around the Essex base. The initial message read: 'Urgent. All, please disseminate to all your people in camp. 'We have received warning that a man has made threats against members of the Para Regt and wants to carry out a 'Lee Rigby' style attack. 'The SCC [Security Control Centre] and main gate have been informed but ensure no Para Regt/military clothing is worn outside camp and remain vigilant.' The MoD had issued a statement which said: 'The safety and wellbeing of our personnel is our top priority. We are aware of an online threat, which is being investigated by the civilian police. 'Personnel are always advised to remain vigilant and report anything suspicious to the Royal Military Police.' Fusilier Rigby, a father-of-one was hacked to death in broad daylight while walking near Woolwich Barracks in south London. His attackers chose to target him because he was wearing a Help for Heroes hoodie popular with troops. Colchester's military history dates back to the late 18th century when the first barracks were built in the Essex city. Today, it is the home of 16 Air Assault Brigade and troops from the Parachute Regiment's second and third battalions are based there alongside other infantry and aviation units and supporting detachments such as logistics and medical personnel. Airborne Forces are notorious for wearing regimental clothing outside working hours, particularly distinctive maroon-coloured t-shirts and fleeces, most often worn with tight jeans and desert boots, a tradition that goes back many decades. Fusilier Rigby, from Middleton, Greater Manchester, and had served in Afghanistan. At the time of his death he was working in army recruitment. He was a trained machine-gunner and a regimental drummer. He was given a military funeral at Bury Parish Church on 12th July 2013.
