Having friends at work can be enjoyable. Some friends may encourage you to be more productive, while others may help create a more pleasant work environment. Here’s the star cast of Mahakaali sharing the names of their on-set best friends. Read on.

Sourabh Raj Jain considers all his co-actors to be friends, including Pooja and Kanan, whom he has previously worked with and has a good relationship with. Both Pooja and Kanan have a great sense of humor, which adds to the enjoyable experience of being on set with them. Overall, Sourabh values the happiness and camaraderie that friendships bring to the work environment.

Falaq Naaz considers Pooja and Nikita to be her best friends on set. She values their relaxed and easygoing personalities and considers friendship to be equivalent to family. In her view, a friend can fulfill many different roles, such as a brother, sister, or mother.

Nikita Sharma has a close and strong friendship with Pooja, who she spends a lot of time with on set. Pooja is an excellent actress and a very kind and down-to-earth person. The two friends enjoy sharing meals and chatting together. Nikita describes Pooja as a positive and intelligent person and values the way Pooja helps and supports her on the job, especially since this is Nikita’s first mythological show.

Arjit Lavania considers everyone on the show, including his colleagues and technicians, to be his friends and sees the entire crew as his family. Among his co-actors, he has a particularly strong bond with Indra Dev (Gagan), as they share a similar way of thinking and can support each other without encroaching on each other’s personal space. Arjit values friendship as the most beautiful relationship that can be chosen by two people.

Veena Jagtap who plays the lead Radha in Radha Prem Ki Deewani is a household name. Watch all episodes of Radha Prem Ki Deewani FREE only on Desi Play TV available on Plex. Here’s a candid conversation with Veena who shared a few insights about her on-screen character, her nervousness during the look test and much more. Read on.

“I am playing the lead for the first time in Radha Prem Ki Deewani and I was very nervous when I got to know that I would share the screen with Sachit Patil. There were several thoughts going through my mind because I wasn’t even confident during my look test. Sachit is a senior actor but irrespective of that he made me comfortable on the set. To ease down my hesitation, he used to ask me to read the script with him and work on the dialogues together. That way, it was easy for me to sail through and overcome my fears.” shared Veena aka Radha.

“I was also under the impression that I will have to behave in a specific manner in front of Sachit because he is an established actor whereas I am completely new to the small screen. But my opinion regarding him completely changed when we started interacting about the script, the show, our respective characters and Sachit is a nice human being.” Added Veena.

It takes time for newbies to adjust to a new environment, but Veena considers herself lucky to work with an amazing co-star and a wonderful team. “For newbies like me it would have been a little difficult to adjust on the sets and with the character but unlike my thoughts, everyone on the sets was so friendly that I consider all of them as my second family. The overall ambience on the sets is very positive and this helped me to get along with everyone well. In a way, I consider myself lucky to be chosen as the lead for Radha Prem Ki Deewani.”

Talking further about her on-screen character, Veena said,” Radha is a bubbly and sorted girl. I relate to most of Radha’s qualities. She is also someone who takes care of everyone and is full of positive vibes. Kindhearted and happy go lucky are also some of the qualities which describe Radha’s character well.”

Simran Kochar Singh is the host of the popular food and travel TV show, Dine With Colors, which airs on Desi Play TV every Sunday at 9 PM ET/ 9.30 PM PT.  The show is a culinary adventure that travels around North America, showcasing the best restaurants, chefs, international cuisine, and famous landmarks in the region. It celebrates the most amazing food, drinks, and recipes from around the United States. Here’s a quick interaction with the cheerful host Simran Kochar:

 

1- What factors do you consider when choosing a restaurant to feature on ‘Dine with colors’?
Our team is responsible for selecting restaurants to feature on our show. We begin by choosing a location, and then we select one Indian restaurant and one non-Indian restaurant to feature. When considering Indian restaurants, we look for those that have an interesting angle or story, and that offers high-quality cuisine. We also consider reviews, but these are not the only factors, as we also want to highlight lesser-known, small restaurants that may not have many reviews, but are still highly regarded by locals for their food. For non-Indian restaurants, we follow a similar process, with the added goal of introducing our Indian audience to new cultures through the stories and experiences of the chefs. We prioritize chefs who enjoy conversation and storytelling, as this helps to provide a rich, regional context for the dishes we showcase.

 

2- Can you share a dish from your childhood that you could eat daily without ever getting tired of it, and why? 
One dish from my childhood that I could eat every day without growing tired of is warm goat cheese on toast. This dish brings back memories of reading one of my favorite books, Heidi, and the idea of enjoying it with a glass of milk transports you to Switzerland! Another dish that I enjoy and that brings back happy memories is Bhurjee, scrambled eggs with onions and tomatoes, eaten with Indian bread called ‘paratha’. This is a favorite breakfast and midnight snack that reminds me of sleepovers with the family. Eggs are comfort food for me and will always be a go-to option.

 

3- When you’re not cooking or eating delicious food, how do you like to spend your free time?
When I have free time, I often like to spend it alone, finding happiness in simple pleasures. This might include taking a walk, enjoying a cup of coffee at dawn, reading, writing poetry by moonlight, and practicing introspection and meditation. I also enjoy picnics, although I could easily spend a long time talking about the food, I like to include it in my picnic baskets!

 

4- Tell us something about your experience of hosting ‘Dine with Colors’
I am grateful to have the opportunity to share the stories of restaurant owners and chefs and they’re often challenging and inspiring career journeys in America. I respect the hardworking staff, the time and hospitality given by restaurant owners and staff, and the diverse cultures and traditions represented in the show. I am also thankful to the entire team for putting in the effort and helping me with the enlightening experience of doing the show.

Bhaag Bakool Bhaag is one of the hilarious Hindi TV shows on Desi Play TV, a free Indian Channel that is available on Plex. This Indian TV show keeps the viewers entertained throughout. Bakool, the lead, is juggling between two wives. He gets married to Sheena and Jigna under unavoidable circumstances and then begins a roller coaster ride between the three of them. With plenty of twists and turns, Bhaag Bakool Bhaag keeps the viewers glued to their screens. To add to the fun, the audience will also see Bakool in a saree.

“Bhaag Bakool Bhaag is a comedy show and adding on to some fun, Bakool will be seen in a female avatar for the first time. I wore a saree and found it extremely difficult to even walk properly! I really respect all the women who carry the attire with so much grace and confidence.” Shared Jay.

“At first, I did not agree with this twist in the show but as an actor I do understand the responsibilities. If it is required for me to go out of my comfort zone and do something challenging for the show then why not, I asked myself and accepted wearing a saree. The entire process took 45 minutes and when I was ready everyone on the sets was laughing! I’m happy at least all of us could have a great time laughing!” Chuckled Jay.

Sharing more insights about this twist, Jay explained, “Bakool dons Jigna’s look because Jigna’s uncle wants to meet his son-in-law, Bakool. However, Bakool is finding out ways to escape this entire situation. He tries every possible option to run away but it is of no use and ultimately ends up wearing a saree to look like Jigna and meet her uncle.”
