After the stupendous success of Yaad Piya Ki and Teri Aankhon Mein, Divya Khosla Kumar returns with Jaani & B Praak’s latest music video Besharam Bewaffa.
The reach of Divya’s last few music videos has made her a star on the block, with Besharam Bewaffa, she’s all set for a hat trick!
Divya Khosla Kumar’s Yaad Piya Ki took the nation by storm last year upon its release. The track, sung beautifully by Neha Kakkar, turned out to one of the biggest chartbusters of 2019. Not just that, the kind of digital imprints on the song made Divya a household name since it has garnered more than 370M views across youtube and counting!
After almost a year, her second single Teri Aankhon Mein released, which had her playing to the gallery once again, albeit in a different way. The latest track too worked its magic on the audience and is standing tall with over 125M views across youtube.
Not many get to enjoy the supreme success that Divya has been enjoying in the last one year. Her songs have worked wonders but brand Divya has been catapulted into the A-league of sorts.
Along with millions of views that her music videos are clocking, what has been clicking for the lovely lady is the way the audiences are finding her characters so relatable.
With both Yaad Piya Ki and Teri Aankhon Mein essentially being youth-centric songs, fans have connected with Divya in a huge way. The emotions, the pangs, the angst essayed beautifully on screen by her has been loved and applauded by all.
With Besharam Bewaffa, her next track that releases a week from now, she is all set to surprise her fans once more.
The heartbreak song will instantly make all fans reconnect with the actress in a way like never before. Jaani and B Praak are back with yet another musical gem after the blockbuster Pachtaoge and Divya plays the role of a young girl yearning for true love given the circumstances she is put in.
Besharam Bewaffa is starkly different from her other songs and we can certainly expect top-notch acting from the gorgeous diva in this number.
The first look poster of the song has already created a huge stir among the viewers and with Divya leading from the front, our pretty woman is all set for a hat trick! Besharam Bewaffa is all set to release on 30th November 2020!
Indoo ki Jawani is all set to hit the theatres on 11 December. In this film, Kiara portrays a girl from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, in the Abir Sengupta directorial, which revolves around her misadventures with dating apps.
Since the city has a certain local lingo, the actress had to learn the different local lingo of Ghaziabad for Indoo in Jawani.
“Abir knew exactly how he wanted Indoo to walk and talk. Since he has also written the dialogues of the film it made the process easier. We spent a couple of months before commencing shoot prepping for the character and creating a fun and quirky Indoo, her style of talking and dialogue delivery is distinct and easily identifiable,” says Kiara.
Indoo Ki Jawani, releases on 11th December directed by Abir Sengupta, is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Divya Khosla Kumar, Krishan Kumar (T-Series), Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani, Nikkhil Advani (Emmay Entertainment) & Niranjan Iyengar, Ryan Stephens (Electric Apples Entertainment).
Abir, who makes his directorial debut with the film is well-versed with the language as he was a resident of the city. He used to teach Kiara during their reading sessions and she was happy to learn from him.
Kiara was recently seen in the horror comedy “Laxmii”. Now, she is currently shooting for Raj Mehta directorial “Jug Jugg Jeeyo”, which also casts Varun Dhawan, Anil Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor and YouTube sensation Prajakta Koli.
Outstanding and big achievement for an Indian web series in an international stage, Netflix’s Delhi Crime has bagged the Best Drama Series award at the 48th International Emmys. On the other hand Portuguese series Ninguém tá Olhando (Nobody’s Looking) for comedy and Spanish telenovela La Reina del Sur were awarded in the category of Non-English U.S. Primetime Program.
Richie Mehta’s true-crime series Delhi Crime is a fictionalised version based on the Nirbhaya case. The series sensitively captures the complexities of the scrutiny, the emotional toll on the investigating team, and their determination to bring the perpetrators to justice in a fraught environment. Over six years of research went into the making of the series, which was shot on location in New Delhi. The series boasts of a stellar cast, including Shefali Shah, Rajesh Tailang, Rasika Dugal and Adil Hussain.
Celebrating this incredible honour, director and screenwriter of the series Richie Mehta, shares, “I never anticipated getting here – it’s the culmination of years of work by hundreds of people, sometimes in total isolation and defiance. Delhi Crime is a complete labour of love, born out of sadness, anger, frustration, and ultimately, compassion. The entire team from start to finish should take a bow for giving their all to this vision.”
Netflix’s Sacred Games (S1) and Lust Stories were nominated in the Best Drama and Best TV Movie Or Miniseries categories, respectively, for the 47th Annual International Emmy Awards, while Radhika Apte was nominated for Best Actress for Lust Stories. This year, Delhi Crime brings home the award.

Who doesn’t recognise Prajakta Koli? The YouTuber and bonafide youth icon, more commonly known as MostlySane, has given us some awesome, relatable and funny content over the years.
With millions of followers, she has garnered love and attention, and has tickled our funny bones almost every single day. But now it’s now time we see her in an entirely different avatar aka as Dimple in Netflix’s ‘Mismatched’.
Though a social media star, Prajakta auditioned for the role of Dimple, along with many other aspirants, and went on to land the nerdy, geeky, ambitious character, starring alongside Rohit Saraf.
But did you know that Prajakta almost did not audition for the role?
Recalling her audition, Prajakta shares, “My audition is such a story because I was supposed to be on a flight to Tokyo the same time that my audition for the series was going to be. And then Tokyo was hit by a typhoon and my flight got delayed by four hours. So I then went for the audition directly from the airport, without having done my hair or makeup, still in the clothes I travelled in, which was a sweatshirt and sweatpants. I was wearing my glasses and I literally just dashed into the audition room, gave the audition, dashed back because I had to go to the airport to catch my flight, with zero expectations.”
Mismatched is a young-adult romance series based on Sandhya Menon’s bestselling book ‘When Dimple Met Rishi’. It hit the service on November 20, 2020
Sanjana Sanghi To Star Opposite Aditya Roy Kapur In ‘OM – The Battle Within’
After impressing the audience in Dil Bechara, actress Sanjana Sanghi roped in as leading lady opposite of Aditya Roy Kapur in ‘OM – The Battle Within’.
This film is marks the first association of Aditya and Sanjana as a lead pair.
Talking about her first big action venture, Sanjana says, “Getting to delve into the action genre so early on, is something I view as an absolute honour and have immense gratitude for to my producers, Ahmed Khan, Zee Studios and my director Kapil for the potential they have seen in me being able to pull of such a unique part in our film.After exploring many scripts and possibilities for a while, OM felt just right since it was the spectrum jump I was looking for in terms of throwing myself into an entirely unchartered territory of a big commercial actioner being executed in a never-seen-before way that is going to present me with new & exciting challenges.”
She further adds that her character Kavya will be an inspiration to the young girls of India.
“My character Kavya, is a girl I know each of us young girls in India aspires to be. She is confident, extremely hard working and sharp, empathetic, brave and a crucial tenet of our film. She’s nothing like we’ve ever seen before on celluloid. I’m so excited to bring her to life, and I know I’m going to learn so much from her I’m doing tons of action in the film, and various kinds of training and prep for the same is ongoing. It’s testing and pushing me both physically and mentally, but is so thrilling! Getting to work with Adi is the best part of it all, he’s working so hard for the film and is going to shine”, shares Sanjana.
Kapil Verma’s directorial ‘OM – The Battle Within’ will be shot in 3 cities in India and one international location. The makers are hoping to complete the shooting of the film by March.
After making noise with the trailer and poster of upcoming original series ‘Naxalbari’, ZEE5 has now released a new promo introducing Aamir Ali’s character.
The promo showcases Aamir essaying the role of a corporate leader who is puppeteering the strings that cause the clash between the Naxalites and the government, all to turn a profit for himself. For the first time, a web series is being released that brings forth the red uprising movement in India and showcases its underbelly.
Keeping the Naxalite movement at the centre stage, NAXALBARI aims to develop a common ground that gives a deeper insight into the war between Naxalites and the government, each side fighting for their own reasons without exploiting their social narrative.
Talking about the release of the promo, Aamir shares, “NAXALBARI has been one of the most intense projects I’ve worked on. The story spoke to me as soon as I read the script and I am now ecstatic to make my digital debut with this ZEE5 show. Every grey role has a lot of layers to it, and this particular side of my character will definitely be something different to watch out for in NAXALBARI. The audience will have to wait for the release to find out how things take a turn in the end and my character’s doing with it. I hope the viewers enjoy watching this promo as much as they have loved the trailer.”
‘Naxalbari’ stars Rajeev Khandelwal, Tina Datta, Sreejita De, Satyadeep Mishra, Shakti Anand and Aamir Ali. The show is directed by Partho Mitra and produced by GSEAMS (Arjun & Kartik). ‘NAXALBARI’ is slated to premiere on 28th November, exclusively on ZEE5.
The nine-episode action-packed series is a fictional account of the protagonist’s fightback against a red uprising. It will also subtly underline the socio-political involvement that cause the upsetting of the Naxalites.
