Mumbai, November 26 - Reality television show, Bigg Boss 15, has reached a halfway stage and things are getting interesting inside the house. In this process, as many as 4 contestants got evicted this week, and one of them is Simba Nagpal. Simba had friendly relations with most of the housemates, however, he was often criticized for not contributing enough to the show. ## The actor, however, seems to be unaffected by his ousting as he says "this is not a daily soap where we need to create drama, I believe on a reality show, one needs to be real and that is what I did on the show. I am chilled out in all situations and never take the stress. I was like this". ## "Well, I really don't understand what show wanted from me. They wanted me to raise issues, get into unnecessary arguments just to seek attention. I can't be like this", he added. Simba said that he never cares about what others think about him and he is just passionate about work and that the show has given him a lot of experience.## "I can't do anything just to show off. And I have nothing like inside me that I should do this or that, to grab the eyeballs. I gave my hundred percent in all my tasks and never gave up. This is where I learned a lot. For me, more important is to have fun and show the fire inside you in your work. Not for unnecessary arguments".## Just like most of the housemates, Simba too has an acting passion, and this is his only love. He adds that he wants to play dark roles as it gives more opportunities to prosper as an actor. "Acting is my ultimate passion and only love. I can do as many reality shows but this is something that interests me. I want to portray dark characters on-screen because I believe one gets more opportunity to show the acting skills while doing such roles", he said. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, October 20 - The latest episode of Bigg Boss 15 came as a shock for the housemates as Vidhi Pandya and Donal Bisht have been evicted from the show during the mid-week eviction. This development came as a result of not contributing enough to the show. ## While things never get easy in the show, many housemates found breaking Bigg Boss rules, which resulted in punishment by Bigg Boss in which the housemates had to evict any two contestants who they think have made the least contribution to the show. That's when the housemates ended up voting out Donal and Vidhi for not being able to catch hold the grip of the show.## Vidhi Pandya, after coming out from the house, explained the reason which led to her eviction. "See, I am an emotional person and I never did anything for the camera. In fact, I am lazy to think so much about strategies to be in the show and maybe not a great entertainer in terms of dancing or doing fights or getting into arguments or being part of gossip or just for the sake of getting the action. I prefer to be myself and that is what I did in the show", she said.## Vidhi was on good terms with some of the housemates such as Jay Bhanushali, Karan Kundrra, Umar Riaz, and Tejasswi Prakash. When asked about who could no longer be in the show, Vidhi said, "Tejasswi Prakash, as she is playing the game very nicely and I really want to see her winning the game". ## "In fact, Vishal Kotian is also doing well and I had good terms with him. But he is more into making strategies. In fact, this is turning out to be negative for him, as not only the audience but housemates also know what actually he is as a person", she added. ## While housemates voted out Vidhi and Donal on the basis of not doing much for the show, Vidhi, however, thinks that there are a couple of housemates who are also not doing much but still are in the show. "Simba Nagpal and Akasa don’t seem like much involved in the game. Of, course I have no personal enmity but as far the game is concerned, Simba is least involved. In fact, he is not performing well in the task", she said. ## "Akasa is also not interacting much with other housemates. She has just good equations and friendship with Pratik. So, they are in fact lagging behind me in the entertainment aspect", she added. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, September 16, 2021: The American TV reality show "The Activist" lead by judges Priyanka Chopra Jonas, multiple-Grammy winning singer-songwriter Usher, and 'Dancing with the Stars' star Julianne Hough, came under fire for its concept, which led the makers of the show to change its concept. ## "The Activist", which was supposed to be a five-week series, has now shifted to a one-time documentary special format, according to Variety. ICYDK, the reality show (now documentary) will consist of six activists from around the world, who will work "to bring meaningful change to one of three urgent universal causes: health, education, and the environment". ## However, the format of the show sparked huge controversy as many called it the "worst idea ever" and a business-minded show. And after facing criticism, CBS and producing partners Global Citizen and Live Nation issued a statement announcing the change in the show's format.## "The Activist was designed to show a wide audience the passion, long hours, and ingenuity that activists put into changing the world, hopefully inspiring others to do the same. However, it has become apparent the format of the show as announced distracts from the vital work these incredible activists do in their communities every day. The push for global change is not a competition and requires a global effort", the statement read.## "As a result, we are changing the format to remove the competitive element and reimagining the concept into a primetime documentary special (air date to be announced), it will showcase the tireless work of six activists and the impact they have advocating for causes they deeply believe in. Each activist will be awarded a cash grant for the organization of their choice, as was planned for the original show", the statement continued.## Global Citizen has even apologized to people for hurting their sentiments. "Global activism centers on collaboration and cooperation, not competition. We apologize to the activists, hosts, and the larger activist community -- we got it wrong. It is our responsibility to use this platform in the most effective way to realize change and elevate the incredible activists dedicating their lives to progress all around the world", the organization said in a separate statement.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, September 3, 2021: Actress Munmun Dutta has broken out her silence over the media reports and constant trolling for her rumoured relationship with "Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah" co-star Raj Anadkat. Recently, there were reports that Munmun, popular for playing the character Babita in the comedy show, is dating Raj aka Tappu. ## On Sunday, she took to her social media account to hit out at the trolls and the media reports in two separate notes. The actress wrote that the reports caused her mental pain and blasted trolls for slut-shaming her. Munmun Dutta penned two notes (later removed both), one each for the public and the media. ## In her post for the general public, she wrote (via India Today), "To the general public, I had far better expectations from you. But the FILTH that you have showered in the comment section, even from the so-called 'LITERATE' ones proves how regressive a society we are". ## She added, "Women are constantly AGE SHAMED, SLUT SHAMED, MOM SHAMED, at the cost of your humour. Whether YOUR humour drives someone to the edge of a mental breakdown or not, is NEVER your concern. 13 years of entertaining people and it didn't take 13 minutes for anyone of you to RIP MY DIGNITY APART. So next time someone is clinically depressed or driven to take their own lives, pause and think whether it was YOUR WORDS that drove that person to the edge or not". ## She concluded the post by saying, "Today, I am ashamed of calling myself a DAUGHTER OF INDIA". ## To the media, she wrote, "To the media and their zero credibility 'journos', who has given u the right to post 'IMAGINARY' 'MADE UP' articles in people's name about their private life without their consent? R u liable for the damage that you cause to their lives with your reckless behaviour? You don't stop at shoving your cameras on the face of a grieving woman who has just lost her love or lost her son, in a funeral, just for your trips".## "You can stoop to any level to create sensational articles/ headlines at the cost of someone's dignity, but R U GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WRECKING HAVOC IN THEIR LIVES?? If No then, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!!" she added. ## Stay tuned...
