out something unique to his every character despite working in the same genre at times Speaking exclusively to IANS Saif said that when one is true to themselves a part of the uniqueness of their personality ends up reflecting in the character as well making it refreshing He was asked There are so many crime dramas across platforms As actors what efforts do you put in to bring out something more from your sideSharing his views Saif told IANS For me I think the idea is to play the person not just like a cop So people are obviously differentIf I have to do the same thing again you know the rooted cop with the dialect somehow the director creates a different environment thats where he comes in The producers also have to figure out how the show is going to look different It must be difficult because there are a lot of people who like watching crime dramas he further went on to explainI guess if you are true to yourself there is nobody like you So hopefully we all are true to ourselves and bring a little of ourselves to the character concluded the Omkara actorSaifs Kartavya costar Rasika Dugal echoed the same sentiment saying I feel even if its the same genre everybodys script is different no two scripts are like each other and there is a new voice telling a new story and there are new people putting in their new experiences their own aspirations their own prejudices into the work So it turns out to be different every single timeSo the worry is never that we should try and do something different the Mirzapur actress concludedTalking about Kartavya Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh Director Original Films Netflix India added It is rooted and emotionally truthful while also spanning genres and perspectives It has the tense unpredictability of a gripping crime thriller but at its heart itâs a deeply human story about a man torn between his duty towards his work his responsibility towards his family and the emotional consequences of difficult choices IANS

number Kaamil Presented by TSeries and Bhushan Kumar the song explores the space where silence is able to express more than words ever could The music video which has been directed by Shrishti Riya Jain includes a massive flashback of memories that slowly turn into moments of hurt and silence It beautifully chronicles the journey from happy flashes of togetherness to the loneliness that followsSung and composed by SachetParampara Kaamil enjoys lyrics provided by Kausar Munir The track speaks about the kind of heartbreak that does not rush but slowly sinks in resulting in emptiness overthinking and that painful realisation of someoneâs worth only after theyâre goneShedding further light on their latest track SachetParampara shared âEvery time we create music our only goal is to give sound to the feelings most people carry silently The love our audience has shown us over the years has meant everything and with âKaamilâ we wanted to give something back a voice to the emotions they may not always be able to expressWith âKaamilâ every melody every note and every layer was crafted to carry the weight of that kind of heartbreak Its like composing a letter you never send but giving it a melody still matters because sometimes just expressing it is enough We wanted listeners to feel every bit of it and if they find pieces of their own story in it find peace in knowing that even their unspoken feelings have a song âKaamil they went on to addAs soon as the soulful number was shared on social media music lovers flooded the comment section with encouraging remarksKaamil is

of Siddhu in the television show âGanga Mai Ki Betiyanâ has called his character in the show a rare sight in the medium of television The actor said that his character stands out because of his ability to protect the other personâs peace dignity and happiness In the upcoming track of the show viewers will witness Indu Rani played by Shraddha Jaiswal laying a trap for Siddhu and Sneha by locking them inside a room with the intention of ruining Snehaâs dignity and breaking her upcoming marriage with Shantanu played by Shehzad Shaikh Her plan is that when the villagers arrive in the morning they will assume Siddhu and Sneha spent the night togetherHowever despite getting a chance where Snehaâs relationship with Shantanu could break and he could possibly bring his love back into his life Siddhu chooses a different path He quietly hides himself before the door opens ensuring that nobody finds out he was in the room with Sneha The moment beautifully highlights how for Siddhu Snehaâs dignity peace and happiness matter far more than his own emotions and love storyTalking about his part in the show the actor said âPersonally I feel Siddhu stands apart from typical TV male leads because his love is deeply rooted in selflessness respect and understanding boundaries He is a rare male character who understands that love is not about possession or winning someone back but about protecting the other personâs peace dignity and happinessââEven when Siddhu gets a moment where he could think about bringing Sneha back into his life he chooses her wellbeing over his own emotions and silently steps back For me Siddhuâs silent sacrifice is what makes him televisionâs most respectful lover and truly proves that real love is about protection respect and wanting the best for the person you love even if it doesnât favour your own love storyâ he addedâGanga Mai Ki Betiyanâ airs on Zee TV IANS

opposed Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandezâs plea seeking to turn approver in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case linked to alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar telling a Delhi court that her conduct during the investigation was ânot satisfactoryâ and that she failed to fully cooperate with the probe Appearing before the Patiala House Court the federal antimoney laundering agency contended that Jacqueline did not make a âfull and true disclosureâ in her statements recorded under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act PMLAThe ED said that during the course of the investigation Jacquelineâs conduct was not cooperative as she âconsistently failed to make full and truthful disclosuresâ in connection with the proceeds of crime allegedly generated by ChandrashekharOpposing her plea to become a prosecution witness the ED further alleged that Jacqueline continued to remain in regular contact with Chandrashekhar even after becoming aware of his criminal antecedentsAccording to the probe agency Chandrashekhar had arranged âall benefits gifts and valuablesâ for Jacqueline out of the proceeds of crime generated through the alleged money laundering activitiesAfter hearing the submissions the Patiala House Court granted time to Jacqueline Fernandezâs counsel to file a rejoinder to the EDâs reply and posted the matter for further hearing on May 12The ED has accused Jacqueline of allegedly receiving luxury gifts worth around Rs 7 crore from Chandrashekhar However the actor has consistently maintained that she had no knowledge

of the money laundering proceedings initiated against her by the EDSenior advocate Mukul Rohatgi appearing for Jacqueline before the apex court had argued that she could not be prosecuted under

the Vijay Madanlal Choudhary case upholding the EDâs powers under the PMLA and observed that allegations at the stage of framing of charges must be accepted as they standThe ED has filed multiple charge sheets in the case and named Jacqueline Fernandez as an accused in a supplementary prosecution complaint while another Bollywood actor Nora Fatehi was examined as a witnessThe probe agency has alleged that Chandrashekharâs aide Pinky Irani facilitated the delivery of luxury gifts and expensive items to Jacqueline on his behalfThe money laundering case stems from allegations that Chandrashekhar cheated the wives of former Ranbaxy promoters Shivinder Singh and Malvinder Singh of nearly Rs 200 crore However Fernandez maintained that she had no role in laundering Chandrashekharâs

âkitchen water supply has been cut off last 2 months and for last one year they repeatedly sent random men inside my home for never ending plumbing workâTanshuree stated âStaff keeps changing and so impossible to keep track of developments or complain New staff is always unaware of old staff activity in past so no way to authenticate anything or follow up on past complaints When conplaints are raised building management and supervisors stops responding and do not take callsâShe added âSame excuse of leaking kitchen pipes was given to access my home atleast 3 times for hours long plumbing work over the last one year Work was officially compleete each timeâHowever recently Tanshuree stated that she ârefused to let men come inside my home without proper procedure and email documentationââThen they cut off my kitchen water supply for last two months Ive been managing somehow with great difficulty No documentation no proper procedure followed Refusal to send official email detailing why kitchen water supply is cut off last two months Refusal to put on email the nature of work being undertaken for clarity and recordsâShe added âThis time they want to come with 4 random unknown men and do a civil work breaking structural integrity of the kitchen ie break floor amp tiles etc and make me pay for some of it But they refused to send me an official email with all details of civil and plumbing work being undertaken and names of the men with IDs who will be sent for this contract workâTanushree says she stays alone hereâThey are calling my family and

police administration politics and judiciary Their methods are sophisticated and organised sicââThey play it well to make their victims look and sound unstable while they push the victims to a slow deathâShe said that âNana Patekar and other Bollywood mafia members must be investigated because by and large all this started after metooâThe actress said that she has long suspected links between those guys and some people in my building society who are star struck and are directly involvedTalking about the encounter specialist she wrote âTheres a cop called Daya Nayak that stays in my building he has ties with Nana because Nana played him in a flop film Daya was always responsive and polite whenever He met me at social gatherings because I had also done a film with Randeep Hooda on a similar subject But after 2018 He became very strange towards meâTanushree says she finds is âsurprisingâ âthat a cop can even afford a flat in this building society with their salary structure but thats besides the point There are also several film Industry folks that own flats here So not difficult to influence people like a building head secretary to bully meâShe gave a passing mention to Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar who too has a flat next to her buildingâA lot has happened here that defies logic or explanation Even Akshay Kumar owns a flat here next building just saying fyiââThus proves that some of these high end hi fi buildings can have stuff going on so dark and shady that one thinks maybe living in a village would be safer than here Just coz they have money and fancy cars
