At the Bachchan’s Diwali bash this year, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s manager Archana Sadanand’s lehenga caught fire from a diya leading to burn injuries. As per reports, Archana underwent skin grafting on her right leg a day or two ago and is currently in ICU but is in a stable condition.
A major mishap was averted as Aishwarya and SRK rushed to her rescue and doused the fire in the nick of time. Ever since the mishap, several reports have been doing the rounds. According to reports that were widely circulated on the day after Diwali, Aishwarya’s publicist was rescued from the accident by none other than Shah Rukh Khan who rushed to the lady’s rescue and doused the fire.
However, later there were reports that said that Shah Rukh Khan was not present when the incident happened and that it was Aishwarya Rai who came to the rescue of her manager. As per reports, a very prominent guest at the Bachchan bash who was a first-hand witness to what transpired says Shah Rukh was nowhere in the picture. “Archana Sadanand (Aishwarya’s publicist) was walking down the stairs when her dupatta caught fire in a diya. In no time at all her clothes were aflame. Everyone was too stunned to do anything. It was Aishwarya who rushed and tore away the burning portion of Archana’s dupatta,” said the eyewitness.

The trailer of the upcoming film Pati Patni aur Woh starring Bhumi Pednekar, Ananya Panday and Kartik Aaryan released on Monday. At the launch, Bhumi Pednekar said that the film does not intend to make a sexist statement on the subject of marriage.
When Bhumi was asked if she was skeptical about the story being reduced to a sexist comment on adultery, she said, "When I read the script, all the doubt that I had simply vanished. This film has lots of fun but, at the same time, it is not frivolous. The story is very empowering to both genders. Nobody is black or white in the story, just as in real life. I think that the maker made sure that this does not turn into a sexist, baseless film."
She further said, “I do not think, anyone who is part of this film, including us actors, belongs to that school. We were extremely conscious of the fact that we do not end up making it into a sexist comment. The moment I read the script I felt it was so beautiful. This is a subject that could have gone wrong easily. But they (the makers) have been sensitive and careful. I have to say it is a big achievement."
Meanwhile, the director, Mudassir Aziz said, "I have always put women at the forefront in all my films, and this film is no different. Once the film releases, the audience will realize that he (the 'pati' or husband) is the situation and these two women ('patni and 'woh' -- or, the wife and the lover) are driving the situation home.
The film is slated to hit the theatre on December 6.
T-Series Mixtape Punjabi Season 2 gets off to an energetic start with Neeti Mohan and Sukh E’s electrifying performance. Presented by Amazon Prime Music and produced by T-Series Chairman and Managing Director Bhushan Kumar, the two-month musical extravaganza will put on display 24 artists who will add a unique twist to the mix of two hugely popular Punjabi songs.
In the first episode, Neeti with her feminine grace and Sukh E with his ‘Punjab da puttar’ attitude will blow you away with their powerful, high voltage rendition of 'Nikle Currant' and 'Wah Wai Wahh'. The livewire performers have left no stone unturned to ensure that they do justice to the inaugural episode of T-Series MixTape Punjabi Season 2, available first on Amazon Prime Music.
The first episode serves as an embodiment of the razzmatazz that you are going to witness in the next 10 episodes. Radhika and Vinay Sapru, the series directors offer, “This episode captures what we had set out to do with T-Series MixTape Punjabi Season 2. It truly depicts the energy, the play of sound and light and the complete extravaganza with the artists. You can see the crowd enjoying the whole rendition and whatever the artists express. It truly comes out in the first episode.”
Says Neeti, “I have been part of MixTape for the last two seasons but that was in Hindi. This time I wanted to be an integral part of T-Series MixTape Punjabi Season 2. I am singing and performing in Punjabi for the first time for MixTape and I am so excited about it. I loved performing both the tracks and singing them with Sukh E was such a memorable experience. I think Punjabi music is becoming my favourite genre already.”
Sukh E informs, “'Nikle Currant', although sung by Jassie Gill, was a song I was associated with as a music producer. 'Wah Wai Wahh' was a song that I had sung with Neha Kakkar a few months ago. So when I got this opportunity to be part of these two songs for T-Series MixTape Punjabi Season 2, I was determined ‘yeh to mujhe karna hi karna hai’. I was getting to show my skills as a live performer and I was very excited to be part of it.”
Laughing at the memory, Sukh E adds, “After, the first take, they found it difficult to see me jumping around and dancing so much. I was asked to go easy on the dancing bit. So, I had to control myself and I have never controlled myself while performing but, for a change, it was nice.”
Neeti and Sukh E’s high-energy, juxtaposition of the two songs will instinctively set you grooving. Adds, Radhika and Vinay, “Each and every instrument whether it be the tumbi, guitar, dhol or the synth comes out so clear and correct in this episode that it truly is a great beginning to a great season that we are looking forward to and hoping that we hit it big at the word go.”
Actor-turned-author Lisa Ray recently attended an event in Delhi where she spoke about her battle with cancer and how she reacted to the news of the diagnosis. She was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2009 and was declared cancer-free, after a stem cell transplant.
Speaking at the event, she opened about her cancer diagnosis. She said, “My doctor was scared because after he announced to me that I had multiple myeloma, I didn’t react. Even though he said it was incurable and fatal. In my mind, I was thinking that my body has been trying to give me signals for months, and I was ignoring them. Then I got this strongest possible message. Intuitively, I knew something was wrong. But I didn’t have the courage to do anything, because I was trained to ignore what my body was telling me.”
She went on to add, “In our profession, you can’t go home when you’re sick. You pop medicines and get on with work. In addition, I hadn’t really dealt with the trauma of the accident I was in. What do we do when we don’t want to face something? We keep busy. I did that. Until finally I had to stop, listen to my body, heal and make changes. In a strange way, I realised it was a time of reckoning. I knew it wasn’t the end of me, I knew I wasn’t going to die, but I also knew it wasn’t going to be easy.”
Meanwhile, Lisa came out with her autobiography ‘Close To The Bone’ this year. It talks about her career as an actor and a model, struggles with cancer, her victory and much more. Lisa is married to management consultant Jason Dehni. The two welcomed twin daughters Soleil and Sufi via surrogacy in 2018.

The trailer of Kartik Aaryan, Bhumi Pednekar, and Ananya Panday starrer Pati Patni Aur Woh released today. The film is a remake of the 1978 film directed by Baldev Raj Chopra of the same title. At the trailer launch of the film, the cast spoke about the comparison between the two films.
“After I was offered the film, I decided that I will not watch the original. Because I wanted to work in my own way in this film. We have brought a modern take to this film. So, if I had watched the original, it might have stuck in my subconscious. So, I did not watch it again. But, I had watched it once a long time ago,” said Kartik Aaryan when he was asked about the similarities between the original and remake.
Meanwhile, Bhumi Pednekar said, “I thought of watching the original after I was offered the film. But I did not watch it. Just like Kartik said, this is a new-age take on this kind of relationship. So, I did not feel the necessity to go watch it.”
On the other hand, Ananya Panday said that she watched the 1978 film after being offered a role in the remake. The actress said that she enjoys watching Hindi films and said that she loved the film. Ananya said that their film is a lot more glamorous.
Pati Patni Aur Woh, directed by Mudassar Aziz, is scheduled to release on December 6, 2019.

There has been a lot of reporting, false as it turns out be, regarding the accident at the Bachchans’ Diwali party where Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s publicist was injured when her inflammable clothes caught fire.
According to reports that were widely circulated on the day after Diwali, Aishwarya’s publicist was rescued from a catastrophic accident by none other than Shah Rukh Khan who rushed to the lady’s rescue and doused the fire.
However a very prominent guest at the Bachchan bash who was a first-hand witness to what transpired says Shah Rukh was nowhere in the picture. “Archana Sadanand (Aishwarya’s publicist) was walking down the stairs when her dupatta caught fire in a deeya. In no time at all her clothes were aflame. Everyone was too stunned to do anything. It was Aishwarya who rushed and tore away the burning portion of Archana’s dupatta,” says the eyewitness.
We wonder where Shah Rukh Khan came into the picture, and who decided to make him the hero of the story. Incidentally Archana Sadanand is still in the hospital recovering from her burn injuries. Luckily her face did not get singed.
