Happy Birthday Sidharth Shukla: Times When 'Bigg Boss 13' Winner Made Headlines in Pandemic Year

The charming actor Sidharth Shukla has turned 40-year-old on his birthday today. Despite the covid-19 challenge, he has been one of the actors who remained the hottest topic in media headlines and social media. The Bigg Boss 13 winner is currently one of the most in-demand actors on Television and he is making sure to grab those opportunities which are coming his way. ## It has been quite a surprising year for his fans as well because the 'Dil Se Dil Tak' actor has never been so open on social media then he has become after Bigg Boss 13, especially, after doing a music video, 'Bhula Dunga' with his dear friend, Shehnaaz Kaur Gill who also happened to be his Bigg Boss 13's housemate. ## Interestingly, Sidharth's association with Bigg Boss did not come to an end and he was invited to 'Bigg Boss 14' as well, in the form of a 'Toofani Senior', along with the previous season's contestants Hina Khan and Gauahar Khan. The show went on air a few months back, on October 3, 2020.## In the midst of that, Sidharth constantly won hearts and media attention through his gestures towards his fans. Here are times when Sidharth made headlines in 2020 - ## Winning the title of Bigg Boss 13 ## Bigg Boss 13 was the most popular season in the history of the reality show, and the one big reason was none other than Sidharth Shukla who remained in the center throughout the show. The actor went through tough during the show. Be it his rift with Rashmi Desai, a never-ending ugly fight with Asim Riaz, and the Tom & Jerry show with Shehnaaz Gill, Sidharth had overcome all the challenges and later on become the winner of the show beating Asim in the finale. His victory was described as one of the best in the Bigg Boss history and we can't argue on this anymore. ## View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sidharth Shukla (@realsidharthshukla) ## Music videos with Shehnaaz Gill ## Sidharth Shukla appeared in two music videos with his 'Bigg Boss 13' co-contestant and now friend, Shehnaaz Gill. Their music video 'Bhula Dunga' by Darshan Raval released in March and 'Shona Shona' sung by Tony Kakkar was out nearly a month back. The two constantly remained in the center stage and their chemistry was the highlight of the show which was loved by all. ## View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sidharth Shukla (@realsidharthshukla) ## A surprising entry in Bigg Boss 14 as a Toofani Senior ## After setting the high standards in Bigg Boss 13, Sidharth Shukla was invited to Bigg Boss 14 which is currently on air. He remained in the house for nearly 3 weeks for which he was paid a heavy price. Just like the previous season, Sidharth remained on top despite the fact that he wasn't a contestant which speaks the volume of his popularity he has gained. ## View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sidharth Shukla (@realsidharthshukla) ## Never like before Fan interaction gaining spotlight ## The one thing which really comes out as a surprise for everyone is his interaction with fans. He has some heart-touching fan interactions in 2020. He reached out to two of his fans - one to condole her father's demise due to COVID-19 - and the other fan when she wanted a hospital bed for her parent. Sidharth had arranged the bed for the fan, but her parent found another bed in another hospital by that time. ## On the other hand, his fans have also been vocal about him. One such example was when Dharma Productions was celebrating 'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania's anniversary and didn't mention Sidharth's name. The fans blasted at Karan Johar for not mentioning his name who played Alia's supposed to be a partner in the movie. His fans also thronged SidNaaz (Sidharth-Shehnaaz) while the duo was shooting in Chandigarh for the music video, Shona Shona. ## View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) ## Roped in for 'Broken But Beautiful 3' ## After various speculations, Sidharth Shukla revealed that he was indeed roped in for Ekta Kapoor's hit show 'Broken But Beautiful season 3' on Alt Balaji and ready for his digital debut. Ekta put up an Instagram post introducing characters Rumi and Agastya, which will be played by Sonia Rathee and Sidharth Shukla respectively in the lead roles. The shooting of the show is currently underway. ## View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sidharth Shukla (@realsidharthshukla) ## Stay tuned...

Durgamati Review: Audience Call Bhumi Pednekar Starrer Disappointing

The much-awaited horror thriller film, Durgamati: The Myth starring Bhumi Pednekar finally premiered on Amazon Prime Video on December 11. The movie is directed by G. Ashok and is an official remake of his own Telugu-Tamil bilingual film Bhaagamathie which starred Anushka Shetty in the lead role. ## While the expectations were high from Durgamati (earlier titled Durgavati), the Hindi remake of Bhaagamathie couldn't reprise the magic which the original film had. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Akshay Kumar, and Vikram Malhotra, Durgamati has been disappointing largely because it failed to scare people which is its joner. It also stars Arshad Warsi, Jisshu Sengupta, and Mahie Gill in the key roles.## See what people have to say about the movie -## #Durgamati - Disappointing.

She had even written about it. So we have proof of everything that was done to her".## View this post on Instagram A post shared by Devoleena Bhattacharjee (@devoleena) ## "Divya understood your real nature but it was too late, and despite understanding, she kept tolerating everything with the hope that you will change someday. You have just used her to foray into this industry. You have assaulted her mentally as well as physically. It is beyond imagination what you did to her", the actress added.## Addressing netizens, Devoleena said, "He smashed her forehead just three days after their wedding. Beating her with the belt was a regular affair, leaving her bruised in the hands and legs. He is a criminal who would beat her regularly, lock her in a room, and threaten her saying if she tells anything to her family then he will kill her brother. So basically he is a criminal".## Devoleena in her video also revealed that Divya Bhatnagar had earlier informed the police about her husband. The actress captioned her video using the hashtag #justicefordivyabhatnagar.## Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai fame television actress Divya Bhatnagar passed away on December 7, after battling Covid-19 for a few weeks.## Stay tuned...

Yograj Singh Axed From Vivek Agnihotri Directorial 'The Kashmir Files' Over Blasphemous Speech During Farmers Protest

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has dropped Yograj Singh, father of former cricketer Yuvraj Singh, from his upcoming film, 'The Kashmir Files', after the actor's speech during the farmers' protest recently. According to Agnihotri, Yograj Singh lost his job as the fallout of an allegedly hateful speech he gave at the ongoing farmer protests in Delhi-NCR. ## "I had cast Mr. Yograj Singh for my film 'The Kashmir Files' for a very prominent role and I had long chats with him. I knew that he has a history but I ignored as I generally do not mix art and artiste. I keep artiste and politics away. When he gave the speech it was shocking, and I cannot tolerate someone talking about women. It is just not about Hindu women or Muslim women but he spoke so badly about women and on top of that he tried to create a hateful decisive narrative", Agnihotri said in a statement. ## Recently, while giving a speech at the ongoing farmer protests in NCR, Yograj Singh reportedly commented on Hindu women saying "their women were sold for two cents. When their women and daughters were abducted by people like Ahmed Shah Durrani and sold off, it was we Sikhs who saved them. These are the people who have betrayed us. This community has been slaves for thousands of years".## Agnihotri added, "I have sent him an official termination letter I don't care what he replies. I am not a kind of commercial filmmaker. I make films with a purpose. I make films that expose the truth and I don't want this person to become part of the truth. Whatever he said, it was hateful and this kind of people just want to create violence".## Talking about the film 'The Kashmir Files', it narrates the story of Kashmiri Pandit Refugees and based upon the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus carried out by Islamists in the early 1990s. The film was originally announced for August 15, 2020, release but postponed due to the covid-19 pandemic. Now, the first schedule of The Kashmir Files started this week in Mussoorie. It stars Anupam Kher in the lead role. ## "Presenting The Kashmir Files. Next year, same time, on our 73rd Independence anniversary, we will bring you the unreported story of the most tragic and gut-wrenching genocide of Kashmiri Hindus. Please bless our team as it's not an easy story to tell," Agnihotri had tweeted while announcing the movie with the poster. ## Presenting #TheKashmirFiles Next year, same time, on our 73rd Independence anniversary, we will bring you the unreported story of the most tragic and gut-wrenching genocide of Kashmiri Hindus.

'Indoo Ki Jawani' Director Wants Audience Support More Than Box Office Numbers

Director Abir Sengupta, who is gearing up for the theatrical release of his upcoming comedy-drama film Indoo Ki Jawani starring Kiara Advani and Aditya Seal, says in the current situation, more than box office numbers, filmmakers need the support of the audience to bring back normalcy to the culture of theatrical releases.## "It is a tough time for us to gain back that confidence, to go to the theatre and watch a film, considering the pandemic, but we also need the dose of entertainment and escape. Watching a film in the theatre offers that. Honestly speaking, we are not looking for the numbers really, but (are looking at) going back to the normalcy of releasing cinema in the cinema theatre", Sengupta told IANS.## "We want the audience to come back to the theatres to encourage the theatrical release of our films. I am proud of my producers who have decided to release 'Indoo Ki Jawaani' in the theatre because the theatrical release is an expensive affair and we are taking the bold step".## He continued, "In the last few months, many people lost their jobs as theatres were closed. It is a huge industry that is worse affected now, and there are many families depending on the movie releases in the theatres. There are so many people working in the theatres. So, with precautionary measures, I think we should step out and enjoy a film in the theatre, with a dash of escape entertainment. Our film is a colorful, lighthearted film".## Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Divya Khosla Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Nikkhil Advani, Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani, Niranjan Iyengar, and Ryan Stephen, the story of the film revolves around a girl named Indira Gupta from Ghaziabad and what happens to her when she chooses a stranger through a dating app. The movie is set to release on Friday (December 11). ## Stay tuned...

Natarajan Will Be a Great Thing For Us Heading Into The World Cup Next Year: Virat Kohli

Team India captain Virat Kohli is impressed with a new bowling sensation T Natarajan and heaped praise on the left-arm pacer after performing brilliantly in the T20I series against Australia. Natarajan, picked in the national side for the first time, took six wickets in the three T20Is at an economy of just under 7 and was one of the key players in India clinching the series 2-1. ## "In the absence of (Mohammed) Shami and (Jasprit) Bumrah, he's (Natarajan) been the guy who has stood up and really delivered under pressure, which is outstanding for the fact that he's playing his first few games at the international level and he looks very composed", Kohli said after India's 12-run loss in the dead rubber. ## "He's very sure of what he wants to do, he's a very hardworking guy, very humble guy. And you feel happy for guys who are committed and working hard for the team when they get the results and make the team win", he added. ## "I wish him all the best and I hope he continues to work hard on his game and keeps getting better. Because a left-arm bowler is always an asset for any team and if he can bowl that well and consistently, I think he'll be a great thing for us heading into the World Cup next year", Kohli hopes. ## Though India lost the final T20I Kohli played a gem of a knock and took his team close to the victory. Kohli revealed that he was happy with his outing (61-ball 85) on Tuesday (December 8) and is hopeful of carrying forward the momentum into the opening Test. "I think I'm in the right headspace," Kohli said. "It was a bit scratchy in the first ODI, to begin with, but then I addressed a few things and worked on a few aspects of my game that I wanted to purely to get into the best headspace that I possibly can because I've never been a fan of thinking too much technique.## "I think when I get into a good headspace is when I feel like I can play and switch between all formats and adjust according to conditions as well. It's just about continuing to be in that headspace and making sure that I contribute enough towards the team's success and hopefully start off on the right note in the Test series". ## Meanwhile, Virat Kohli is the only second overseas captain who led his side in ODI, T20I, and Test series win in Australia. Earlier, South African captain Faf du Plessis had done this difficult task down under. ## Stay tuned...
