He added that filmmaker Vijay Krishna Acharya, fondly called Victor, also moved in with them. “Victor is a very close friend. He was in Bombay at the time, so I told him, ‘Why are you living alone? Come stay with us.’ And he joined us too.” …

‘Stop soft PR, raise real issues’: AAP’s Saurabh Bhardwaj targets Raghav Chadha

Internal tensions within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have surfaced publicly, with Delhi unit chief Saurabh Bhardwaj criticising party MP Raghav Chadha for what he described as focusing on “soft PR” instead of raising key national issues in Parliament. The remarks come a day after Chadha questioned his removal as the party’s Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha, a post now held by Ashok Kumar Mittal. Bhardwaj Questions Chadha’s Parliamentary Approach Responding to Chadha’s statement, Bhardwaj said that AAP, being a relatively small party in Parliament, has limited time to raise issues and must prioritise matters of national importance. He criticised Chadha for allegedly focusing on less significant topics, saying parliamentary time should instead be used to address major national concerns, including politically sensitive developments across states. ‘Raise Bigger Issues, Not Optics’ Bhardwaj stressed that the party expects its leaders to take strong positions against the central government when necessary.

Saurabh Shukla: I have never had a personal PR running behind me

For actor Saurabh Shukla, who has been a part of the industry for more than two decades now, the idea of success has never been tied to expensive cars and more, a visible symbol that often dominates conversations around actors today. In an industry where perception can sometimes overshadow performance, he draws a clear, almost old-school distinction between personal choices and professional worth, insisting that the two should never be confused. Saurabh Shukla While he admits that he enjoys the finer things in life, he says they shouldn’t define him as an actor. “I love driving, I enjoy cars. I have a taste for expensive cars,” he says. “But I prefer not showing all that. I prefer to be known for my work, my talent. Whether I drive a certain car or not, whether I show it or don’t show it, that is not going to decide how good an actor I am. These are completely separate things,” he explains, pushing back against the growing tendency to equate lifestyle with success. “If you start believing …
