April 5, 2016

Mumbai, Apr 5: After undergoing over eight weeks of tasks that tested mental and physical strength in the breathtaking locations of Argentina, actor Sidharth Shukla was declared the winner of the stunt-based reality TV show "Khatron Ke Khiladi - Kabhi Peeda, Kabhi Keeda".

ShuklaSidharth defeated his co-finalists Sana Saeed and Mukti Mohan to emerge at the top of the leader board. As the winner, the actor walked away with Rs.25 lakh in prize money along with a new Tata Tiago car.

The "Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania" star is ecstatic about overcoming his fears and striving though injuries and quarrels in the Colors channel show.

“I am glad that I managed to strive through it all - injuries, quarrels, and stunts involving a combination of speed, thrill and creepy crawlies. Today, I take with me not only my winnings but a truckload of memories and life’s lessons. What I experienced in Argentina with (host) Arjun Kapoor and my fellow 'khiladis' has been truly special,” Sidharth said in a statment.

During the course of his journey in the show, Sidharth was a part of stunts which ranged from lifting crocodiles to even being dragged by a race car at great speed. The finale stunt saw Sidharth scale different elements including water, air and fire in a race against time.

"Khatron Ke Khiladi", an adaptation of the American television show "Fear Factor" which features celebrity contestants facing their fears, saw actor Arjun Kapoor's debut into the small screen as a host.

The "Gunday" star stated that "the show will always be special to me; it’s been my first outing on the small screen and I can’t wait to do something like this again.”

“Having Arjun Kapoor join us for this season allowed us to add the perfect amount of 'keeda' and 'peeda' for the contestants. He has been a surprise package and a superlative host,” said Manisha Sharma, programming head, Colors.

The show also featured a string of TV celebrities like Tina Dutta, Mahhi Vij, Aishwarya Sakhuja, Faisal Khan, Raghav Juyal, Yuvraj Walmiki, Parvathy Omanakuttan, Vivan Bhatena, Tanisha Mukherji, Jay Bhanushali, Vivian Dsena and Himanshoo Malhotra.

Washington D.C., Mar 1: British actor Daniel Radcliffe in a recent interview said he is not rushing back to reprise the role of young wizard, Harry Potter, anytime soon.

The 30-year-old star who rose to fame with the first eight films in J.K. Rowling's famed franchise, told Variety that he doesn't like to say no to things but reprising the role in the 'Fantastic Beasts' prequels is not something he's "rushing to do".

"I feel like those films have moved on and they're doing just fine without us. I'm happy to keep it that way. I like what my life is now," Radcliffe told the outlet.

"I'm not saying that I'll never go back into any franchise, but I like the flexibility that I have with my career now. And I don't want to get into a situation where I'm signed up for one series for years in advance," cited Variety as Radcliffe as saying.

Radcliffe is currently gearing up for his upcoming mystery-thriller 'Escape from Pretoria,' a true-life prison drama, where he is set to essay the character Tim Jenkin.

The forthcoming flick is set to hit the theatres on March 6.

Mumbai, Jan 4: After the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur constituted a panel to decide whether legendary poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz's poem 'Hum Dekhenge' is offensive to Hindu sentiments, filmmaker Shoojit Sircar had a cryptic take on the burning controversy.

"Best time for the rich & small businesses to make money as most of the population are engaged with a revolutionary poet named Faiz," Sircar said in a tweet.

The poem, penned down by the iconic poet in 1979, came into limelight again recently during the protests against CAA and NRC in IIT Kanpur.

Earlier on Thursday, senior lyricist Javed Akhtar rejected the claims about the poem being 'anti-Hindu'.

IIT Kanpur on Thursday had set up a committee to look into the issue.

The move came after a complaint that the students who took out a peaceful march in the campus on December 17 against the Citizenship Amendment Act and in solidarity with Jamia Millia Islamia students, sung it as a mark of protest, which hurt the sentiments of other communities.

The CAA grants citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists and Christians who faced religious persecution in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and came to India on or before December 31, 2014.
