Apart from the leads, one actor who impressed the netizens with his performance is Indresh Malik.

In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi, Indresh Malik plays Ustaad. Ustaad is like an informer, who plays from both sides (Manisha Koirala‘s Mallikajaan and Sonakshi Sinha’s Fareedan).

Actor Adhyayan Suman stepped into Bollywood in 2008 with ‘Haal-e-Dil’ and went on to star in acclaimed movies like ‘Raaz-The Mystery Continues’ and ‘Jashnn’. However, he slowed down in the middle because of “lack of opportunities”.

Post ‘Jashnn’ in 2009, Adhyayan appeared in films such as ‘Dehraadun Diary’, ‘Heartless’, and ‘Luckhnowi Ishq’, among others, which failed to strike a chord with the audience, consequently affecting box-office collections.

Talking about slowing down, Adhyayan told an entertainment portal: “Why did I slow down in the middle because of a lack of opportunities? I think it is important for me to be honest with myself and to my audiences. The lack of opportunities of course otherwise if it was up to me I would be doing and seen in every other show or film.”

Now, he hopes to work with with good directors and play good characters.

“I just want to be a good working actor.

Bollywood and its golden statements lay in the era of the 90s. Not because the stars were difficult to reach but only because whatever they said was less fabricated and filtered since there was no constant moral policing or calling out.

An old video has cropped up on the internet where the Shaan actress was seen talking about her co-star in many films. The duo has worked together in many films, including Kaalia, Amar Akbar Anthony, Namak Halaal, Kaala Sona, Kranti, and Kala Patthar.

For the unversed, Parveen Babi died struggling with mental health after she was diagnosed with Schizophrenia. It was rumored that she used to believe that Amitabh Bachchan would kill her.

In the fun segment, he makes everyone laugh with funny messages. For instance, pointing towards Shiv Thakare he shares a message from a ‘sanskari’ girl, or fulfilling the dream of Archana Gautam to get married to a politician he says he had got a card for her from an MP of Jhumrootalayiya.

Shekhar Suman has roasted the ‘Bigg Boss 16’ contestants in a qawwali that he sings during the ‘Bigg Bulletin with Shekhar Suman’ segment. As he makes comments on each and every contestant, it leads to a tiff between Priyanka Choudhary and Ankit Gupta.

Ankit questions Priyanka about her behaviour, to which Priyanka says Ankit remaining silent most of the time irritates her.

Ankit tries to explain to Priyanka that every conversation need not be a fight but could be a normal discussion, which though fails to impress Priyanka.

In another segment, Archana Gautam refuses to follow the orders given by Bigg Boss and denies serving the punishment given by Bigg Boss.

Five contestants, including Archana Gautam, Saundarya Sharma, Shalin Bhanot, Priyanka Choudhary and Ankit Gupta, were sleeping during the day and despite a warning by Bigg Boss, they kept on sleeping.

Bigg Boss then asks the other contestants to continuously splash cold water on them.

Pointing towards Mc Stan, he says: “I just do rap in the beginning and later I talk sensible, so Mc Stan, we both cannot be compared.”

He adds: “Bigg Boss house is like a school and all the contestants here are like students.”

Shekhar goes on to compare Ankit with a student who was once asked to be silent in the classroom by a teacher, then, despite the fact that the teacher changed, he followed the same rule.

Another day, another drama in the Bigg Boss 16 house. Popular actor, anchor and producer Shekhar Suman is hosting the special segment called ‘Bigg Bulletin with Shekhar Suman’ ‘Bigg Boss 16’ wherein he roasts the contestants.

Shekhar plays a cricket board game with the contestants and he asks Shiv Thakare to put pictures on the board on the basis of questions asked by him.

He says: “Who’s the most deserving captain? Who plays the game and has no loyalty towards anyone? Who’s the fielder who tries to catch the ball that’s not even in their line of fielding? Who will be willing to get involved in match-fixing for a meager bribe? Who do you trust to hit a four on the last ball? Who deserves only to clear the ground and serve water to the cricket team? Who can throw a googly? Which contestant is in the best form while surviving on dumb luck?...
