Hemant Chaudhary Talks Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri: “The Ironic Stereotype Behind a Thick Mustache”

hemant

Seasoned actor Hemant Chaudhary, known for his powerful screen presence, is captivating audiences once again with Sun Neo’s recently launched show Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri, where he plays Kuldeep, the father of the lead character Rudra (played by Savi Thakur). Kuldeep is a man deeply rooted in his beliefs, shaped by his unwavering loyalty to his mother. His perspective on life, relationships, and family dynamics makes him a complex yet intriguing character.

Speaking about his character, Hemant Chaudhary shares, “The character I am playing has his own outlook on life. What may seem negative to some might actually be positive in his own way because he blindly follows his mother. Whatever she says becomes his ultimate truth. If she tells him something, he believes it without question. If she says his wife is not right for him, he will accept it without hesitation.”

The Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri actor futher added, “It’s quite ironic that a thick, well-groomed mustache is often linked to negativity. A long mustache is usually associated with power or dominance, and if styled a certain way, it tends to indicate a negative character. But I don’t believe that’s always true. I have interpreted Kuldeep in my own way, as I believe that defines who he is.”

Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri follows Gauri, a brave and kind-hearted girl whose faith guides her through life. Forced into an unwanted marriage, she navigates challenges as the Bundela family’s daughter-in-law, shaping her own destiny with wisdom and courage. Starring Eshaa Pathak, Savi Thakur, and Swati Shah, watch this emotional drama on Sun Neo, Mon-Sun at 8:30 PM.

Shocking Twists Await! and TV Brings High-Voltage Drama This Week

Buckle up for a rollercoaster of emotions as your favourite &TV shows Bheema, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan and Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai bring gripping twists and unmissable drama this week! Talking about the upcoming track in Bheema, Smita Sable aka Dhaniya shares, “In Bheema, inspired by Babasaheb (Atharva), young Bheema (Tejaswini Singh) takes a firm stand against deep-seated caste divisions. When Dharmsheela refuses to share utensils with Meera, an unexpected move forces the family to confront their biases. Meanwhile, Vishambhar (Vikram Dwivedi) calls out hypocrisy surrounding dowry and women’s rights, but Kailasha Bua (Neeta Mohindra) fans the flames of casteism. As Phulmatiya draws a symbolic line in the house, Bheema faces exclusion from well-digging work, choosing education over hunger as his weapon. With Meera suppressing her hunger and Meva (Amita Bhardwaj) and Dhaniya (Smita Sable) struggling for work, Bheema refuses to eat until his mother does.”

About the upcoming track in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, Himani Shivpuri aka Katori Amma shares, “Happu (Yogesh Tripathi) finds himself in a hilarious mess. His sleepless nights take a bizarre turn when a neighbour, Mathur, storms in with a complaint that Happu’s snoring is so loud that it’s disrupting his work! Brushing it off, Happu rudely dismisses Mathur, only to regret it later when he learns Mathur is a close friend of the Commissioner (Kishore Bhanushali). Now, as punishment, Happu is stuck with night duty! Meanwhile, chaos brews at home when Chamchi (Zara Warsi) introduces an Indonesian girl to Hrithik (Aaryan Prajapati) and Ranbir (Somya Azad), sparking a rivalry, and Amma (Himani Shivpuri) begins her singing lessons, much to Happu’s dismay. As his exhaustion peaks, Beni (Vishwanath Chatterjee) attempts a sneaky fix by mixing sleeping pills in Happu’s drink! “. About Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’s upcoming track, Rohitashv Gour aka Manmohan Tiwari shares, “A petty argument at a tea stall spirals into an all-out war between Tiwari (Rohitashv Gour) and Vibhuti (Aasif Sheikh). When Tiwari forgets his wallet, he asks Vibhuti to pay, only to discover Vibhuti is even more broke with just two rupees to his name! Tiwari mocks him mercilessly, and soon, the entire colony joins in. Furious and humiliated, Vibhuti vows never to speak to Tiwari again and Tiwari swears the same! Even at dinner, the cold war continues, with Angoori (Shubhangi Atre) and Anita (Vidisha Srivastava) forced to act as messengers. But when nothing works, Anita and Angoori take drastic measures enlisting Tika (Vaibhav Mathur) and Tillu (Salim Zaidi) to stage a dangerous “bull attack” on Vibhuti. Will this crazy plan finally break the silence, or will it backfire?

Zakir Khan Delves into Relationships and Real-life Problems in ‘Love Life Lafde’

Zakir

If love life mein lafde hain, Zakir Khan has got your back! With new episode drops every week, Love Life Lafde on JioHotstar is a go-to for no-filter relationship advice, featuring a fresh lineup of celebrity guests in every episode. From Kumar Varun and Zareen Khan to Farah Khan, Tanmay Bhatt, and Barkha Singh, celebrities join Zakir as he dives deep into modern dating struggles, heartbreaks, and all the quirky twists of love. Whether you’re dealing with the block-unblock drama, endless breakups, or just want to be the go-to love guru for your friends, here are some golden tips and tricks straight from the show!

1. When the game of ‘block-unblock’ continues: We’ve seen it —or even been there—stuck in the never-ending loop of blocking, unblocking, and wondering where it’s all headed. In an episode, a caller shared his frustration about his girlfriend who keeps cutting him off, only to reconnect later as if nothing happened. Zakir Khan, along with guests Zareen Khan and Kumar Varun, had some unfiltered advice to offer. “Ek chappal jab purani ho gyi hai, to use kitna ghisoge?” quipped the official Sakht Launda, urging the caller to see that some relationships just aren’t worth the effort. Zareen Khan, bringing her own candid touch, admitted, “I have this guilty pleasure of not blocking people even after the relationship is over. So, when they call me and send messages, I just see but never respond,” sparking laughter in the room. Kumar Varun, while playfully teasing Zareen about her stance, backed Zakir’s point—sometimes, the best thing you can do is walk away. So, if you’re caught in the exhausting game of block-unblock, take the hint—it’s time to stop chasing ghosts. And no, texting on UPI isn’t going to fix it!

2. Facing repeated heartbreaks and girls trying to change you? Zakir Khan perfectly captured this struggle, explaining that when guys enter relationships, girls see them as “good and workable.” But the real issue arises when they become “non-workable.” Adding to this, Tanmay Bhatt shared, “You should not come as a finished product, you need to be a work in progress. You will have to give something to girls which is worth fixing.” Wrapping it up in his signature style, Zakir said, “Whenever a woman falls in love, it is like having a shop and what is in the shop. Maybe you have a beautiful shop, but to buy from there, she will have to go inside and see the stuff. So, I feel while the exterior may be good, you need to work on the interior.” So, all the guys, facing breakups, may be its time to listen to your partners and start working on yourself.

3. When friendships get complicated: In an episode of Love, Life & Lafde, a guest shared his struggles with navigating friendships — from making new friends to maintaining them over time. Farah Khan and Siddharth Suryanarayan joined the conversation, offering their take on the complexities of friendships. Farah shared how friendships with guys are different because you can talk about anything with them, but with girls, you have to be a little careful. “I can joke about anything with Shahrukh and Karan, and even with Anil Kapoor,” she added, calling it a dynamic she finds refreshing and easygoing. Siddharth backed her up, saying, “Nobody can compete with Farah when it comes to maintaining friendships the way she shows her friendship is genuinely unmatched.”

 Zakir Khan, known for his sharp insights, jumped in with a laugh, “If you want to be friends with a girl or even date her – all you have to do is be a good listener. Aap Hindustan ke 98% ladko se upar honge,” leaving the room in splits. Siddharth Suryanarayan followed up with a playful remark, “Podcast host aur ladki ka dost — dono ka role ek hi hai,” sparking even more laughter as the conversation flowed, highlighting the quirks and nuances of modern friendships.

4. When you’re playing T20, but they’re playing Test in relationship: We’ve all been there — investing emotions, hoping things will get serious, only to realize the other person is moving at a completely different pace. In an episode of Love, Life & Lafde, Kush, (the guest who appeared with a problem on the show), shared his frustration about being stuck in a situationship where his feelings were deepening, but the other person wasn’t matching the same intensity. Biswa Kalyan Rath, Zakir Khan, and Maanvi Gagroo had some insightful advice to offer. Zakir pointed out, “Maybe you feel something, and you need an immediate reaction, but that becomes unfair on the other to immediately seek for an answer, because when you start something with lack of trust, it takes a longer time for the trust to build.” Kush candidly admitted, “I’m playing T20, but she’s playing Test.” Zakir, with his signature wit, responded, “On the last day, in the last session, even the other player has to play T20,” drawing laughter in the room.

Hoga dher saara manoranjan

Get ready for a thrilling dose of entertainment as the latest tracks of &TV’s Bheema, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, and Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai take excitement to the next level. Talking about the upcoming track in Bheema, Smita Sable, who plays Dhaniya shares, “Vishambhar (Vikram Dwivedi) marries Meera in a roadside temple, but Kailasha Bua (Neeta Mohindra) and Kalika Singh (Mayank Mishra) refuse to accept her. When they try to bribe the couple to leave the village, Vishambhar boldly declares a grand wedding. Enraged, Kalika Singh threatens to kill him, but Kailasha Bua stops him, vowing to make their lives miserable. Meanwhile, Bheema (Tejaswini Singh) stands tall against upper-caste mockery, empowered by Dr. Ambedkar’s wisdom. As the wedding rituals begin, Dharmsheela and Pinky attempt to harm Meera during the aalta ceremony, but Bheema exposes them. Vishambhar steps on the glass, defying their cruelty. Amidst this, Phulmatiya blames Dhaniya for the family’s divide, and Gaya confirms the partition. Despite Dhaniya’s efforts to prevent it, Bheema, inspired by Babasaheb Ambedkar, accepts the separation with dignity. Gaya and Phulmatiya then turn to Kailasha Bua for help dividing the house!”

 Geetanjali Mishra, aka Rajesh, spills the beans on the hilarious track in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan,” Rajesh complains to Happu (Yogesh Tripathi) that she has nothing new to wear, so he promises to take her shopping. Meanwhile, Rajesh’s friend tells her how she started a tiffin service to gain financial independence. On the other hand, Beni (Vishwanath Chatterjee) wins a legal case and takes Happu to a bar to celebrate. They get so caught up drinking that they forget about their shopping promise! Furious, Rajesh takes charge of her finances, with Katori Amma (Himani Shivpuri) fully supporting her. With their local dhobi (laundryman) failing at his job and monopolizing the area, Rajesh and her friends launch their laundry service. Even Malaika (Sonal Panwar) inaugurates it with a ribbon cutting! However, when Happu and Beni refuse to support them, Katori Amma throws them out of the house. While Beni quickly switches sides and supports the women, Happu starts living at the police station. The next day Happu accidentally spills tea on the Commissioner’s (Kishore Bhanushali) white shirt. The Commissioner gives him a strict ultimatum to clean the stain or lose his job! When Happu turns to the local dhobi for help, he demands that Happu shut down Rajesh’s laundry business first. Desperate, Happu agrees, but when the dhobi fails, the Commissioner is ready to fire him. After a lot of pleading, Happu gets one last chance. Meanwhile, Rajesh’s laundry business is booming, but she secretly misses Happu. Will she forgive him?”

Rohitashv Gour, aka Manmohan Tiwari revealing the upcoming track in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, “Tiwari (Rohitashv Gour) and Vibhuti (Aasif Sheikh) have been spending too much time with Prem (Vishwajit Soni), and his bad influence is rubbing off on them! They turn arrogant, talking rudely to everyone including Angoori (Shubhangi Atre) and Anita (Vidisha Srivastava). Their misbehaviour creates chaos in Modern Colony. One day, they humiliate Tika (Vaibhav Mathur) and Tillu (Salim Zaidi) in front of everyone, leaving them deeply hurt. Meanwhile, David Chacha (Annup Upadhyay) learns that a builder has won the legal case for Modern Colony’s land. To make things worse, the builder happens to be one of his acquaintances! When Anita finds out, she hatches a plan with Angoori and Chacha to teach Tiwari and Vibhuti a lesson. Instead of telling them directly, they trick them into believing that the builder has two sons who must be kept happy otherwise, they will all be thrown out of the colony. Tika and Tillu enter disguised as the builder’s sons! They move into Tiwari and Vibhuti’s homes and start bossing them around. Tables turn as they make Tiwari and Vibhuti work like servants demanding foot massages, cooked meals, and more!”.

Red Lorry Film Festival

Hyderabad, March 1, 2025: South Indian cinema, known for its rich storytelling and artistic excellence, is set to captivate audiences as the groundbreaking Red Lorry Film Festival: Parallel Verse, makes its spectacular debut in Hyderabad from March 21st to 23rd, 2025 at Prasads Multiplex. This extraordinary celebration unveils a grand line-up of over 70 exceptional titles, showcasing the festival’s passionate commitment to cinematic diversity and unparalleled quality. Movie enthusiasts will be treated to a dazzling array of global and Indian films, with a special spotlight on the vibrant world of Telugu cinema, offering everything from beloved classics that defined generations to cutting-edge contemporary masterpieces that push the boundaries of filmmaking.

The second edition of Red Lorry Film Festival is brought to you by BookAChange, by BookMyShow Foundation, empowering emerging artists through the transformative power of cinema.

As a tribute to some of the best of filmmaking, the film festival will feature dedicated categories such as ‘Timeless Tales’ and ‘Legacy Rewind’, each designed to offer cinephiles a nostalgic journey through the most influential films, some from South Indian cinema as well. The category’s lineup includes some of the most celebrated works from across the world and Indian cinema, offering a rare opportunity to experience these masterpieces on the big screen once again.

‘Mayabazar’ (1957), the legendary fantasy epic by K. V. Reddy, continues to be one of the most cherished films in Indian cinematic history, weaving mythology with mesmerising storytelling. Adding to this esteemed collection is ‘Missamma’ (1955), L. V. Prasad’s poignant yet humorous narrative that seamlessly blends social commentary with timeless entertainment, making it a treasured masterpiece for generations. Speaking about his father’s film, Ramesh Prasad said, “I remember watching my father meticulously craft each scene of Missamma, balancing religious harmony with romantic comedy in ways that were revolutionary for the 1950s. Seeing this cherished family legacy featured at Red Lorry Film Festival is a reminder that his intuitive understanding of human nature created characters that still appeal to new generations.”

‘Pushpaka Vimana’ (1987) and ‘Aditya 369’ (1991) will spotlight the extensive line-up, paying tribute to the renowned director Singeetham Srinivasa Rao at the film festival. ‘Pushpaka Vimana’, the silent classic celebrated for its innovative storytelling and satirical undertones remains a cinematic feat that continues to inspire filmmakers. It stands as one of Indian cinema’s boldest experiments – the silent black comedy masterpiece that broke new ground and at its core, delivered a scathing critique of socio-economic inequality in 1980s India. It follows an unemployed graduate, brilliantly portrayed by Kamal Haasan whose performance as the unnamed protagonist showcased his extraordinary versatility. Singeetham Srinivasa Rao, shared, “When I conceptualised Pushpaka Vimana, I was struggling with my own questions about wealth and fulfilment. I deliberately stripped away dialogue to challenge myself as a storyteller and to capture the irony of 1980s India where educated youth faced crushing unemployment. Seeing this silent experiment still resonate decades later at Red Lorry Film Festival validates my belief that visual storytelling transcends language barriers.”

‘Aditya 369’ (1991), a visionary sci-fi film featuring Nandamuri Balakrishna and Mohini, led the way for Indian science fiction with its time-travel narrative. Nandamuri Balakrishna, whose recent release ‘Daaku Maharaj’ performed phenomenally well at the box office, is often praised for his high-energy sequences and powerful dialogues. With the 1980s and 1990s being a period of exploration for him, ‘Aditya 369’ was a product of that urge to think beyond the usual. Singeetham Srinivasa Rao said, “Creating India’s first major time travel narrative with Aditya 369 was a personal obsession that many thought would fail. I spent countless nights reading mythology, trying to merge scientific concepts with our rich cultural history. Watching audiences experience that sense of wonder we saw years ago, once again at Red Lorry Film Festival, makes me remember why we pushed our boundaries.”

Rounding off this stellar lineup is ‘Manmadhudu’ (2002), a cult romantic comedy featuring Nagarjuna and Sonali Bendre that continues to enchant audiences decades after its release. Directed by K. Vijaya Bhaskar with music by Devi Sri Prasad, the film is celebrated for its witty dialogue, charming performances and exploration of modern relationships through a traditional lens. About his role in Manmadhudu, Mr. Nagarjuna Akkineni went on to say, ” I enjoyed playing Abhiram who has a quirky sense of humour in Manmadhudu. Every dialogue in the film has a deeper sense of meaning if you look into the layers. And that’s what turned it into a cult romantic comedy, which uplifts and makes people smile whenever they watch it. I am sure the film fans who are coming to the Red Lorry festival will enjoy this movie.” Ms. Supriya Yarlagadda, Executive Director, Annapurna Studios stated, “Manmadhudu is a landmark film for us at Annapurna Studios. Making this film with layered characters and light-heartedness at every point makes it a film that people keep going back to smile. We are happy that Manmadhudu is being showcased at the Red Lorry Film Festival.”

‘Kshana Kshanam’ (1991) brings Ram Gopal Varma’s visual wizardry to life in this thrilling escapade where a bank robbery accidentally entangles an ordinary woman with a charming thief. Sridevi delivers a captivating performance balancing vulnerability and resilience, while Daggubati Venkatesh’s roguish charm creates irresistible on-screen chemistry. This 1991 classic redefined Telugu thrillers with its innovative cinematography, pulsating Ilaiyaraaja soundtrack and perfect blend of humour, romance and edge-of-your-seat suspense.

Capturing the spirit of youth, ‘Happy Days’ (2007) remains a nostalgic coming-of-age drama that beautifully encapsulates the essence of friendships and aspirations, starring Tamannah Bhatia, Varun Sandesh, Nikhil Siddhartha, Sonia Deepti and Kamalini Mukherjee. ‘Happy Days’ was Tamannah Bhatia’s big break into Telugu films and the start of a flourishing career in South Indian cinema.

‘Chandamama’ (2007), starring Kajal Aggarwal and Navdeep Pallapolu, delivers a heartwarming tale of love and camaraderie. Set against a picturesque village backdrop, the film weaves together elements of romance, friendship and personal growth as the characters navigate life’s unexpected challenges. Director Krishna Vamsi’s nuanced storytelling brings depth to this memorable cinematic experience. Krishna Vamsi added, “The folklore, the community celebrations, the simple joys of a village that we see – I poured these deeply personal memories into every frame. Red Lorry Film Festival’s selection of this film feels like a validation of the authenticity that the story displayed and the legacy of my storytelling.”

‘Nene Raju Nene Mantri’ (2017) with Rana Daggubati and Kajal Aggarwal in lead roles, is a gripping political thriller that explores the intricate dynamics of power, ambition and moral compromise. The film follows the journey of an ordinary man who enters politics and gradually transforms as he navigates the treacherous landscape of governance and authority. Cinematographer Venkat C. Dileep added, “My camera became Jogendra’s conscience in Nene Raju Nene Mantri. I deliberately created a visual language as his moral compass deteriorated. Seeing our work appreciated at Red Lorry Film Festival validates the sleepless nights and creative risks we undertook.”

Complementing the film screenings, the festival will feature exclusive masterclasses and panel discussions with renowned filmmakers and industry veterans who will offer insights into their craft and the evolution of Indian cinema.

The Eye’, Featuring Shruti Haasan’s to Have its India Premiere at Wench Film Festival

TheEye-Poster

Mumbai, India, February 27, 2025: Acclaimed Indian actress and musician Shruti Haasan is set to make her international debut as a leading lady in the much-anticipated British psychological thriller The Eye, directed by Daphne Schmon. The film will have its India premiere as the opening feature of the 5th Wench Film Festival, founded by Sapna Bhavnani—India’s pioneering festival dedicated to horror, sci-fi, and fantasy films—taking place from February 27 to March 2, 2025.

The Eye tells the haunting story of Diana (played by Shruti Haasan), who journeys to the remote island where her husband Felix (Mark Rowley) drowned, seeking closure by scattering his ashes. However, her grief soon turns to intrigue when she learns of the mysterious ‘Evil Eye’ ritual—an ancient practice that might bring Felix back but demands a dark and unsettling sacrifice.

The film was shot on location in Athens and Corfu, harnessing the atmospheric beauty of Greece to heighten the film’s eerie and suspenseful tone. Following its initial screening at the London Independent Film Festival and its showcase at the Greek International Film Festival, The Eye continues to generate excitement among global audiences.

Speaking on the eve of the Indian premiere of her film, Shruti Haasan shared, “Psychological thrillers have always been a genre that fascinates me. To be part of a story that dives deep into human emotions, grief, and the supernatural is incredibly exciting. Besides the fact that the film has a riveting storyline and top-notch production quality, what makes this project even more special is that it was created under an all-women-led production house, which aligns with my passion for supporting women in the film industry. Furthermore, this film champions a sustainable way of filmmaking, something that the world desperately needs. If we want to continue telling our stories, we must be able to tell them in a manner that is conscious of our impact.”

Talking about The Eye, director Daphne Schmon said, “The Eye is both a love letter to Corfu, the island where my family is from and an exploration of the dark psychological impulses surrounding grief. The story demanded an actor who could embody its emotional depth and complexity, and Shruti Haasan was the perfect fit. Her ability to navigate Diana’s grief, paranoia, and resilience with such authenticity is truly remarkable. It was only an artist of Shruti’s caliber who could do justice to this role, and she has delivered a stellar performance that will leave a lasting impact.”

Produced by Fingerprint Content, The Eye represents a fresh and compelling approach to filmmaking, integrating sustainability into the production process. The film’s team has taken significant steps to ensure an environmentally responsible shoot, setting a precedent for future projects.
