While on the show, Sufi often discussed the traumas he has faced in the past, and even broke down several times. One particular incident that affected Sufi the most was when Shilpa Shinde and Shreya Kalra banged on his bathroom door after an argument. Recalling that incident when he got evicted, Sufi revealed the trauma associated with that and shared how his roommate and PG owner tried to sexually abuse him when he was in college. Following a task where Harshad challenged Sufi to get back in the game, the fashion influencer got evicted. As he bid farewell, he got emotional and said, “I know all of you think that I didn’t try, and I am a very sensitive person in life. I am not the bi*ch that I am online; I still tried my best to make friends, but most of you didn’t register it. I genuinely enjoyed my time with each …

Musafir Cafe review: Vikrant Massey show could have been a pyaari prem kahani | Web-series News

Published by Parlour News

4 min readJul 24, 2026 01:56 PM IST Musafir Cafe review: A three-way modern romance set in a small town. That’s the pitchline of Musafir Cafe, based on a novel of the same name by Divya Prakash Dubey, created by Sharanya Rajgopal and directed by Ruchir Arun, and the eight-part show takes the memo very seriously indeed. Chander and Sudha — someone here is evidently a fan of Dharamveer Bharati’s classic novel of the same name — meet and ignite in Bhopal. Having quit his software job in the US, he works in a dull government office, nursing a dream of opening his own cafe in the hills, while meeting suitable girls with a view to marriage. She is your ambitious girl who never hides anything she’s thinking, outspoken in the way Bollywood chulbulis are: Sudha, like that other girl in the train, is her own favourite, and doesn’t care who knows it. There’s passion. There’s a bit of sexn — yes, really — too. Small town people aren’t squeamish like that, okay? All is …

In subsequent episodes, Akanksha also spoke about the reasons behind their separation – her decision not to have children and her sexuality. Reacting to the developments, Narayani said she believes the estranged couple is still trying to make their marriage work and claimed Akanksha’s public image is better suited to OTT than television. ‘They’re genuinely trying to make it work’ Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Narayani responded to questions over why Gaurav and Akanksha continued to make public appearances together despite later revealing that they had been living separately for nearly a year. The actor said she did not find it contradictory, arguing that couples can continue supporting each other even while trying to work through a troubled marriage. “My first thought is that maybe they genuinely care for each other and are trying to …

Days after Gaurav’s emotional appearance on the show, Akaksha expressed that she would have preferred if her parents, or her pet dog would have visited the show to meet her. The conversation unfolded after contestant Shreya Kalra spoke about not having any visits on the show following a reunion between Dheeraj Dhoopar and his wife Vinny Arora. During the discussion, Akanksha confessed that Gaurav’s visit did not bring her any comfort, and said that this was “more for him” than her. During a candid conversation on Lock Upp Sach Ya Sazaa, Akanksha recalled Gaurav’s surprise visit on the show and joked, “Mera to ex tha. Has to raha hai Varun. Bol raha hai ‘Tera family kaha aaya. Tera to stranger aaya’ (He was my ex. Varun was laughing and saying, ‘That wasn’t your family who came. A stranger came to meet you’).” …

Published by Parlour News

4 min readJul 24, 2026 11:13 AM IST Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya review: This seven part series reminds me a little of Maamla Legal Hai, the show set in a lower Delhi court in a part of the national Capital far away from the swag and smoothness of Central Delhi. Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya functions in the same mould: this is a sarkari school in the fictional mohalla of Tinki Toli, whose students come from a certain section of society, with parents working low rung jobs, whose only way out of the rut is education. It’s quite ironic that the show is out at a time when student protests are ringing out in Delhi and in other parts of the country, demanding accountability and the reset of an education system which has been systematically devalued over time. And it’s even more ironic that for a show which wants to do the right thing – picking up topics which are relevant and timely — it goes about it in such an overstated manner. Everything is underlined; very little …

3 min readNew DelhiJul 21, 2026 08:18 PM IST Late actor Farooq Shaikh’s Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai was one of the most popular talk shows in the early 2000s.
