Siddhaanth goes on a social media detox
Zee TV's Kyun Rishton Mein Katti Batti has been entertaining its audience through its interesting storyline revolving around the innocent world of two adorable kids (Rishi and Roli) who have teamed up to bring back their parents Shubra (Neha Marda) and Kuldeep (Siddhaanth Vir Surryavanshi) together to complete their ‘happy family'. While the show has been well appreciated and the actors are putting their best foot forward to entertain the audience, the show's male lead Siddhaanth has surprised one and all with his latest move. The TV star has decided to go on a social media detox and his reason will surely hit you hard!
Everyone knows how Siddhaanth believes in staying fit and leading a peaceful life. While his recent fitness achievements really inspired many, his most recent decision will surely get a lot of people thinking about leading a more balanced life. The actor has taken a clean-cut break from social media in order to shut the constant noise and distraction that keeps popping in across various apps. He doesn't believe in the need to constantly keep up with every last development that's unfolding on social media and hence, he's decided to break free from it.
Speaking about his decision, Siddhaanth revealed, “I want to take a small break from social media and will be back soon. I think it's better to focus on people around me, read a book or work on a new skill, rather than scrolling through social media pages every now and then. I only know 10 per cent of my followers personally, plus there is this pressure of posting engaging content on it at regular intervals. In fact, I started comparing myself to others after seeing their posts too and while there is nothing bad in that, the real problem is that it diverts me from my real priorities and taking out time for myself and my family. I would rather choose to live in the moment, compared to clicking pictures and posting them.”
Two captivating stories on offer
A simple loving girl from Sikkim who leaves her entire hometown and family behind to move to the city of dreams — Mumbai for the love of her life. Like any other girl, Nima hopes for a perfect and happy life but little does she know that they are about to be shattered. For the innocent Kajol, her marriage to ‘the perfect one' is on the cards. But her dreams are shattered overnight after she is forced to become the family's breadwinner following the demise of her father.
Presenting not just one but two powerful stories of determined and resilient women, Colors is proud to launch Nima Denzongpa and Thoda Sa Baadal, Thoda Sa Paani, starring Surabhi Das as Nima and Ishita Dutta as Kajol.

Breaking stereotypes
Throughout our lives, we meet and interact with a lot of people. Some meetings are planned, while some strange incidents do turn out to be moments that we cherish throughout our lives. In today's times, relationships have been redefined; today, we not only share a relationship with our family but come across some special people with who we share an equally special bond with.
Sony SAB's Tera Yaar Hoon Main beautifully showcases one such extraordinary relationship that Daljeet Bagga (Sayantani Ghosh) and her stepdaughter Trishala (Neeharika Roy). Yes, stepmothers are not always evil, this relation can be a beautiful one too. Here's Sayantani Ghosh talking about how beautifully her character Daljeet Bagga is written and why what makes Tera Yaar Hoon Main a delight to watch.
Sayantani Ghosh, sharing her experience of playing a stepmother on Indian TV said, “This is the second time I have got an opportunity to play a stepmother and I am lucky enough to have broken the stereotypes and change the mindset of people, who think that the stepmoms are grey-shaded characters. The bond my character Daljeet has formed with Trishala while still trying to befriend Rishabh is very special and unbreakable. The show showcases few connections in our life that are made from our heart and soul. I have always felt excited to be a part of this changing culture of redefining a cliched or a typical mindset where a stepmom is seen in a negative light.”
