Marriage is an institution. Marriage is a commitment. Marriage is long term.

Popular belief says so.

But to maintain relationships in the world of glitz and glamour is harder than one could imagine.

Every other day one comes across rumours or news of a spat among celebrity couples. Some get ugly, some are trivial while some real hurtful.

One would wonder why do so many once blissful couples end up in a sorry state of emotional dismay? Reasons which primarily tops the list are fast-paced lives governed by money, infidelity, urge to remain attached yet lead a carefree life, and of course, constant glare of media and public which doesn’t allow space to breathe and reflect.

Whatever be it, celebrity break-ups seem to have become a norm these days.

Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij are two popular names in the world of entertainment. The two complement each other and make a happy couple. However, media reports suggested of an apparent fissure in their otherwise stable relationship.

“Jay and Mahhi are good human beings. But over time their marriage has hit a rough patch. The reason could be Mahhi’s over possessive nature or Jay’s philandering ways. Jay’s alleged closeness with Parvathy Omanakuttan (Khatron Ke Khiladi contestant) created more issues in their marital life,” shared an industry source.

A recent report carried by ABP mentioned about the two living separately and also about domestic violence.

When we checked for its veracity among sources, many nodded in affirmative.

“There is an element of animosity. But the two are still together and there is a chance of rapprochement,” added the industry source.

We wanted to know more on the unfateful development. We buzzed Jay. He read our WhatsApp messages but did not respond to our queries.

Mahhi on her part struck a positive note and shared: “I think media should stop speculating about my divorce. It’s been two years that media has been writing about our divorce and pregnancy but let me tell you it really doesn’t matter. I am really not bothered to give any explanation. There are better things in life to talk and discuss about. I am not a person who likes to talk such things in public.”

We understand your sentiments, Mahhi. But being celebs, flashlights will follow wherever you go, such is the norm.

As per our sources, the couple was spotted day before yesterday at Mumbai International Airport where Mahhi had gone to see-off Jay. Jay flew off to Africa to perform at an event in Africa. The couple was seen kissing, hugging and in good spirit.

Star Plus’ Suhani Si Ek Ladki (Panorama Entertainment) will get to a new zone in the near future, a preview of which is out in the promo.

Gauri (Ekroop Bedi) will face a trauma post marriage when Pankaj will try to misbehave with her.

However, presently the focus is on the post wedding drama on the show. And the groom Aditya (Vikas Grover) who has suddenly developed a greed for money will plot and plan his next move…

As per the ongoing track, he has been instigating Gauri of leaving her riches behind and coming with him to lead a rather mediocre life.

All this will play on Gauri’s mind and she will request her parents and family to allow them to stay at their house post the wedding.

As per a source, “While seeking blessings from elders after the wedding, Gauri will start crying and will tell them that she would not want to leave them. With this will start the phase of Aditya staying at Gauri’s home as the ghar jamai.”

What will Aditya’s next plan be?

We tried calling Ekroop but did not get through.

We all know that Ekta Kapoor has much fondness of canines. Now, it seems that many other animals have has been blessed with her affection.

Want to know more about the lady’s animal love? Then you have to read this piece.

After snake (Naagin), crocodile (Yeh Hai Mohabbatein), the mighty jungle king, ‘lion’ seems to have find a way to her heart.

Keeping our jokes aside, let us give you the update of the coming track in Colors’ drama Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi (Balaji Telefilms).

Yes, the makers are all set to churn out a plot, where Ishani (Radhika Madan) will be attacked by a lion.

Our source shared, “In order to torture Ishani, Nirbhay (Mohit Abrol) and Ritika (Smriti Khanna) will take the lady to the jungle and leave her alone over there with wild animals. While a lion will come to attack her, Ishani’s ‘knight in the shining armour’ Ranveer (Shakti Arora) will reach there in time to save her.”

Though Ishani will not be able to see Ranveer, she will sense that Ranveer is around her. But before she would locate him, Nirbhay will take Ishani somewhere else.

Such a fascinating track we say!!!

When contacted, Smriti replied with a gentle smile, but refused to divulge any further.

Keep hooked to this space for more updates.

With the Dabangg Khan hitting the half-century, his birthday made way for oodles of excitement on Bigg Boss, both, inside and outside the house. While the housemates spent the day prepping to make the superstar’s birthday special for him in their own way, little do they know that Salman Khan also has a few surprises up his sleeve. The housemates spend the day making greeting cards for him with special messages inscribed in the card. Wanting to make it even grander for the grand star, the housemates select Salman’s popular numbers ‘Mera Hi Jalwa’ and ‘Selfie Le Le Re’ and choreograph a dance to it. Salman Khan is pleasantly surprised to see the housemates standing in ready dance positions instead of being seated on the couch as usual when he tunes into Me TV.

After this, Salman Khan tells them that he has a task in hand for them called ‘party or punishment’. The housemates see boxes with the words ‘party’ and ‘punishment’ written alternatively on them. Salman tells them that they have to decide the name of one contestant to whom they would either like to give a party for or punish. After saying the name of the contestant, they have to aim a soft ball at the box ‘party’ or ‘punishment’, depending upon their intention. Behind each ‘party’ box are fun goodies and surprises while behind every ‘punishment’ box is a punishment awaiting the contestants.

Later, Salman tells them that there are Christmas costumes awaiting the housemates in the store room and they have to mutually decide which housemate will wear what costume, depending upon their respective personalities. Once all the housemates were changed into their costumes, Salman Khan surprised them by entering the house with dancers dressed as Santa Clauses and Santarinas. Salman makes the housemates walk the ramp dressed in Christmas costumes and explain why they were chosen for the costume. While Rishabh and Mandana are dressed as devils, Priya and Kishwer are dressed are witches, Suyyash and Prince are Santa Claus’ Keith’s reindeers, Rochelle is an angel and Nora is a snowman.

Bigg Boss announces that there is a surprise for Salman Khan in the house and he has a treasure hunt awaiting him. Bigg Boss gives him clues as to where his gifts could be hidden and Salman hunts for his gifts along with the housemates. Salman finds a bundle of his favourite things in the treasure hunt! He finds a cap with the word ‘friend’, protein shake, protein bars, a collage of Salman’s favourite moments, canvas to hone his painting hobby and a cake with Santarinas in the treasure hunt. Bigg Boss also walks Salman Khan down memory lane by showing him footage of his journey on Bigg Boss. Finally, the housemates gift him the greeting cards with all their wishes – some warm and some quirky! Using his Picasso-like talent, Salman Khan draws a picture of Jesus on the canvas gifted to him and tells the housemates that the painting is for them. Mandana asks Salman Khan if she can keep the ‘Friend’ cap and he says she can.

Soon as Salman Khan leaves the building, the housemates break into a fight. Prince takes the cap given to Mandana and wears it. This irritates Mandana and she tells the housemates to not touch her personal belongings. Priya taunts her saying that she was the one who had taken Rishabh’s facewash too, so it does not give the right to say that. At this point, Mandana loses her mind and aggressively takes off the devil horns worn by Priya and breaks them. She later even throws the vampire teeth at Priya. This irritates Priya and the house is brought down even as the girls begin their yelling match

The grandest TV award show, 14th Indian Telly Awards is all set to enthrall viewers today evening.

To be telecasted on &TV, the popular faces from the industry will be seen making the evening entertaining for you all.

And adding to the fun value would be the dashing Priyanshu Jora aka your very own Titu. The actor hosted the event along with Karan Tacker, and their crackling chemistry would definitely set your TV screen on fire.

If this was not enough, Priyanshu also took home the award for the Best Fresh Face Male.

Talking on his experience, the handsome hunk said, “Hosting the 14th Indian Telly Awards was a huge honour. I was excited about how I would host, and I guess the nervous energy helped me do it better (laughs). My co-hosts were amazing and made the experience a breeze.”

When quizzed on his emotion about winning his first Telly, Priyanshu smiled to say, “The funny part is that because I was so focused on hosting and the amazing live feedback that was continously coming in, that winning the award didn’t sink in till I went home and saw the trophy. I happily accepted the award and went back to hosting. But only when the congratulatory messages started coming in, that’s when it hit me that I HAD ACTUALLY WON THE AWARD! All the nominees were superb actors and have a huge fan following, so winning this award came as a happy surprise.”

Congratulations boy!!!

Catch all the fun today evening, 7pm onwards on &TV.

Loyal viewers of Colors’ Thapki Pyaar Ki (SOL Productions and Shoonya Square) are presently enjoying the ‘Kiski Bahu Superbahu’ competition taking place in town!!

With three couples all set to participate from Thapki’s family, the heat is surely on!! And Shraddha (Monica Khanna) has been trying her best to keep Thapki (Jigyasa Singh) out of the competition..

With her plan to spike Bihaan’s (Manish Goplani) milk with sleeping pills having failed, she will now injure the ox of Thapki, which will create problems for the girl in the very first round of the competition wherein she has to plough a field by riding the ox.

There will be huge drama as Thapki will initially back out of the competition as she will not want to hurt the ox by dragging it for ploughing. However, with Bihaan getting upset, Thapki will decide to not back out, but find a solution.

As per reliable sources, “Thapki will take the bold decision of ploughing the field all by herself, and will tie the rope around her. While all will be left shocked, Bihaan with a smile on his face will be out on the field to help Thapki win this.”

And guess what? Thapki and Bihaan will win the first round, which will end with Bihaan lifting Thapki with ease (wife lifting part of the round).

However, Shraddha will be bolstered with energy in the second round, that is the ‘Silai Kadhai’ round, wherein on seeing Shraddha crying, Vasundhara (Jaya Bhattacharya) will take it upon herself to help Shraddha win the second round.

Will Shraddha win the second round with the manipulative Vasu helping her? How will Thapki fare?

We tried calling Jigyasa, but did not get through to her.

Watch for the fun and drama in the competition.
