Regarding her split from Joe Manganiello, Sofia Vergara said, "He wanted kids, and I didn't."

New Delhi: In July of last year, actors Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara announced their divorce. The Modern Family actress revealed the cause of her divorce from Joe in a recent interview with the Spanish publication El Pais. In the interview, Sofia Vergara stated, "Well, I recently got divorced from my second husband, actor Joe Manganiello, with whom I spent ten years." My husband was younger and wanted children, and I didn't want to become an elderly mother, so our marriage ended. I think it's unfair to the infant. That's no longer for me, but I respect those who do it." With her former spouse Joe Gonzalez, Sofia gave birth to a son named Manolo. "I'm ready to be a grandmother, not a mother," Sofia continued. "I had a son at 19, who is now 32." Thus, when love presents itself, he must bring [his own] kids. It's just the natural course of things that I'm almost menopausal. I have to let my son take care of the baby when he becomes a father for a little while before returning it to him and moving on with my life."

When Sunil Lahri was cast as Laxman in Ramayan, Prem Sagar remembers telling him to take off your shirt because he wanted to see his body.

During the casting process, Prem remembered how Sunil Lahri, who played Laxman in the show, responded when he asked him take off his shirt. "When Sunil came to my cabin, I told him to take off his shirt," he added. Then Sunil said, "I felt very funny," to Prem. Prem went on, "I was interested in seeing his torso."During the casting process, Prem remembered how Sunil Lahri, who played Laxman in the show, responded when he asked him take off his shirt. "When Sunil came to my cabin, I told him to take off his shirt," he added. Then Sunil said, "I felt very funny," to Prem. Prem went on, "I was interested in seeing his torso."The cast of the renowned 1987 television series Ramayan, which starred a wrestler and a paan store owner, respectively, cast two of its characters, Sugriv and Sushen Vaidya, according to filmmaker Ramanand Sagar's son Prem Sagar.Arun Govil, Dipika Chikhlia, and Sunil Lahri played Ram, Sita, and Laxman in the 1987 television film Ramayan. It became an enormous hit when it was rerun on Doordarshan during the epidemic. In 2005, Ramanand Sagar passed away.Prem Sagar recounted how the cast of the legendary TV series encountered a setback when they were unable to find an actor to play Sugriv in an interview with Lehren Retro. It was getting to be impossible for the actor and Dara Singh, who played Hanuman, to match each other. In the end, actor Shyamsundar Kalani took up the role. We looked everywhere—in Shivaji Park, Worli, and at akhadas—but we were unable to find anything. We had to start filming right away because we had to shoot an episode every week. We couldn't claim that Sugriv was nowhere to be found. We were filming a scene in a bush one day between two and three in the morning. By the end, we were all exhausted, and my father had told us to "pack up," turning out the lights. Abruptly, we noticed a mammoth rising from the horizon. We were really scared.We wondered if that represented a devata or a ghost. It was only being seen by 50–100 people when it began to rush in our direction. It was an unforgettable moment. Approximately ten feet from my father, he leaped and landed on his feet, which he grasped. The lightmen turned on the lights at the same moment. He was a man of considerable build. When my father questioned him about his identity, the man said, "I'm Sugriv!" I'm an Indore-based wrestler who always wanted to portray Ramayan because I used to watch him. So I dressed like him when I came here. It was a miracle, this.When they requested Prem Sagar to read dialogue, he replied that in akhadas, people would typically speak harshly. "We assumed that he would speak in that manner, so we gave him the Sugriv mask and voiced all of his dialogues!" He also remembered a funny thing that happened with the actor Ramesh Chaurasia's role Sushen Vaidya. In Indore, he worked as a paan-walah. His paan-shop became a legend after the episode. People believed they would get better if they ate pan from his store. When Lakshman was hurt, Sushen Vaidya—a Raj Vaidya of Ravana—was the one who gave Lord Ram the remedy.Arun Govil, Dipika Chikhlia, and Sunil Lahri, the main players from Ramayan, have been invited to Ayodhya to participate in the Pran Pratishtha event, which takes place on Monday.  

In Bigg Boss 17 Munawar Faruqui teases Vicky Jain, claiming that Ankita Lokhande is the only reason he made it through the program.

The 17th season of Bigg Boss will end on January 28. The competitors are working hard to keep the audience engaged before the big show. Ankita Lokhande, Abhishek Kumar, and Munawar Faruqui will be seen ridiculing other candidates in front of the studio audience on the next episode of the show. While Abhishek will be making fun of his ex-girlfriend Isha Malviya, Munawar will poke fun at Vicky Jain's appearance on the show due to Ankita.In a teaser released by Colors, Munawar goes back to tell Vicky that, in one of their arguments, individuals just like him work at his house. The stand-up comedian responded by saying, "He himself is here only because of his wife." He also subtly poked fun of Vicky's "celebrity" position during his performance. Munawar was still making fun of Vicky, but Ankita was clearly angry. However, the comic was warmly applauded by the crowd.When Abhishek Kumar went center stage, he compared himself to Munawar, saying that they had both gotten into arguments about ex-girlfriends while living together. Additionally, he informed Isha that while she may or may not have shattered TV sets—as she had claimed on Bigg Boss 17—he had unquestionably damaged her "guroor" (ego).Popular TV personality Ankita Lokhande performed her act by reading it off of paper. She ridiculed the arguments she had with Vicky Jain on the show and said that viewers could easily discover four or five Bigg Boss episodes if they watched the CCTV footage of her and Vicky's home because they also fight a lot in real life. Vicky was giggling uncontrollably, but her performance did not seem to impress the crowd.Vicky, Ankita, Isha, and Ayesha Khan are the current Bigg Boss house eviction nominees.Bigg Boss 17's next episode will feature a roasting session. In a teaser trailer for the show, the participants alternated between making fun of each other in front of the viewer. Munawar targeted Vicky Jain as soon as he took the position. Ankita Lokhande seems displeased with Munawar's jokes, as evidenced by her lack of smiles. (Read more: Mrunal Thakur supports Ankita Lokhande ahead of Bigg Boss 17's "The Strongest" grand finale.)Munawar could be heard saying, "Jhagre mein Vicky bhai ne bola tha tere jaise 200 mere yaha pe kaam pe hain," in the teaser that the station posted on Instagram. However, in the course of our disagreement, Vicky informed me that there are 200 people who work for him who are just like me. However, to my knowledge, there is only one person present who is here as a result of his wife). While the other competitors appeared surprised by the roast, the audience applauded Munawar. Ankita became displeased and did not take the joke well.Munawar continued after this. "Ankita always bolti he ki TV unka maayka hai," he said, taking another jab at Ankita and Vicky. Ah, jyada der nahi ruk gaya idhar (Ankita's constant comparison of TV to her in-laws' house). Do you not feel that the son-in-law has been here a little too long? Ankita was not observed grinning like the other people, as she did not take this joke well.

Mohammed Shami, an injured player, will travel to London; it will take him an additional month to return

Mohammed Shami, the injured pacer, is reportedly allowed to go to London. Shami hasn't played since the World Cup in 2023.Mohammed Shami, the fast bowler for India, is convalescing from an ankle injury he fought through to lead his team's bowling assault during the ICC World Cup. He is expected to see a specialist in London. The great pacer has stayed out of action following India's 2023 One Day International (ODI) World Cup runners-up finish. Shami was the top wicket-taker of the ICC competition at the end of the 2023 World Cup. Pacer Shami, who hasn't played since November, was hoping to make a return during the Test series against England.Shami stated that his recuperation is proceeding according to plan, and the National Cricket Academy's (NCA) medical staff was pleased with the 2023 World Cup hero's development. After missing the South Africa series, Shami resumed his training sessions with the intention of rejoining the Indian team for the England series. Shami, however, was not selected for the five-match Test series because he was unable to recuperate in time. Cricbuzz reported that they have information that Shami can travel to London in the near future. The head of NCA's sports science section, Nitin Patel, is probably going to be with the senior pacer. The report states that Shami and Patel collaborated at NCA to treat the pacer's ankle problem. Premier batter Suryakumar Yadav had a groin operation in Germany earlier.According to the report, Rishabh Pant may soon be sent to London by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Pant, a batsman and wicketkeeper, wants to return to the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2024. It will take Prithvi Shaw, an Indian opener, at least another month to make a comeback to competitive cricket. His comeback is contingent upon passing more difficult agility routines and acceleration tests.Before being cleared to return to competitive cricket, the Indian opener would need to play in a few matches. At NCA, Shaw is also receiving treatment. It is also the Mumbai Cricket Association's (MCA) hope that Shaw makes himself available for the Ranji Trophy knockout stages. Shaw may also aim for an IPL comeback. Delhi Capitals (DC) have already decided to hold onto the Indian opener for the 2024 IPL. Shaw's knee injury from the previous year kept him out of the domestic season for the most part. During Northamptonshire's one-day championship match against Durham, the Indian opener hurt his knee.

Jayaram the actor whom Malayalam cinema betrayed many times but was saved by other film industries

An impressive filmography that includes multiple blockbusters, a debut film (Aparan) that is still regarded as one of the best mystery thrillers in Malayalam, multiple films that have been seen by countless viewers over the years, and a master at handling slapstick, situational, and physical comedy with perfect timing and outstanding dialogue delivery. However, Jayaram sticks out as one of the few Malayalam superstars who experienced a serious setback in their career. Jayaram became one of those performers that one could not bet against after pulling off a string of box office disasters in the last ten years, all of which were critically and popularally derided. After appearing in about ten to fifteen films a year, most of which were successful, Jayaram reached a low point in 2020, 2021, and 2023 when he had no Malayalam releases and simply one movie, Makal (starring Sathyan Anthikad), in 2022. Two years later, Jayaram has returned to the Malayalam film industry, this time in the guise of Abraham Ozler, a crime thriller directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas. Jayaram has experienced a significant metamorphosis and accepted a role that is rarely offered to him in the industry. The actress could have her first successful role in six years with Ozler, following Ramesh Pisharody's Panchavarnathatha. Nevertheless, Jayaram achieved success in other languages, especially in the South, and demonstrated his skill while appearing in notable hits, despite suffering a string of failures in Malayalam film. More specifically, while Malayalam cinema tried to cast him in clichéd parts, other sectors saw Jayaram's potential and skillfully used it to their advantage, giving him consecutive hits even while he struggled at home.However, Jayaram sticks out as one of the few Malayalam superstars who experienced a serious setback in their career. After a string of financially disastrous films in the past ten years, all of which were critically and popularly derided, Jayaram established himself as one of those actors you could never really bank on.With the help of Rajasenan's 1993 film Meleparambil Aanveedu, he rose to prominence in the Malayalam cinema industry. The movie played in theaters for more than 200 days and was a financial success. He and Shobana had a good on-screen chemistry in the movies Dhwani, Meleparambil Aanveedu, and Innale.
