The incident took place last weekend when the cast and crew of the TV serial Sanju Mattu Naanu were packing up after finishing shooting.

In a complaint Bhuvan stated that Pratham picked up a fight with him over a silly issue and the fight ended up with the latter biting former’s thigh.

Sources from the set say that both Bhuvan and Pratham didn’t exactly share a rosy relationship even when the serial went on floors. The duo have had a difference of opinion on many occasions, some which even made it to the headlines.

“We don’t exactly know what transpired between them, but the talk is that Pratham made a few lowly remarks about actress Sanjana after she refused to hold his hand for a scene. The disparaging comments he made were apparently about Sanjana and Bhuvan. Bhuvan made a few sharp observations and tried to put Pratham in his place and that’s when the fight took an ugly turn,” says a source from the set who adds that there were many folks who witnessed these proceedings.

After having punched Pratham a few times, Bhuvan then proceeded to get medical treatment at a neighbouring hospital.

Pratham, the winner of the Bigg Boss Kannada season 4, had hit the headlines of all electronic media for attempting suicide. Bhuvan was also a participant in the Bigg Boss and the two didn’t see eye-to-eye.

New Delhi, Apr 29: WhatsApp on Tuesday said it will now allow up to eight people to connect on a group video call as an increasing number of people turn to digital platforms to connect with friends and family amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Facebook-owned company said over the last month, people on average are spending over 15 billion minutes talking each day on WhatsApp calls, well above a typical day before the pandemic.

"...we see that people all over the world are turning to voice and video calling on WhatsApp more than ever before. Group calling has been particularly useful and our users have asked to connect with more people at once," WhatsApp said in a blogpost.

Starting Tuesday, the company is doubling the number of participants one can have on a WhatsApp video or voice call from 4 to 8 people at a time, it added.

WhatsApp emphasised that like written messages, all calls on its platform are protected with end-to-end encryption.

"We have built group calling in a way that makes it available for as many users as possible, including people on lower-end devices and slow network conditions," it added.

WhatsApp said that to access the new, higher participant limit on WhatsApp calls, all participants in a call need to update to the latest version of WhatsApp available on iPhone or Android.

Video calling tools like Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and others have also seen a significant jump in userbase and traffic as people connect while maintaining social distancing amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Last week, Facebook had introduced Messenger Rooms that will soon hold up to 50 people with no time limit.

It had added that the company will also add ways to create rooms from Instagram Direct, WhatsApp and Portal.

Noting that between WhatsApp and Messenger, more than 700 million accounts participate in calls every day, Facebook had said, adding that video calling on Messenger and WhatsApp more than doubled in many countries.

Also, views of Facebook Live and Instagram Live videos have also increased significantly in March, it said.
