Shivangi Verma, who rose to fame with her role in “Choti Sarrdaarni”, is ready to make her digital debut with a new web show by Atrangii Group. The show, which is yet to be titled, is a musical love story featuring Shivangi in a prominent role. Shivangi expressed her excitement and gratitude for being part of the project.

Actress Sherleen Dutt, who starred in Honey Trap Squad, shares her insights on how to balance privacy and publicity as a celebrity.

In the ever-evolving world of entertainment, social media has become a powerful tool for actors and celebrities to connect with their fans. However, actress Yashashri Masurkar believes that this trend needs a reevaluation. She advocates for a shift in focus from social media followers to genuine acting talent. The Superficiality of Social Media Fame Yashashri asserts that social media fame is often fleeting—a mere “fad.” While it may grant temporary attention, it lacks the substance associated with true fame. Being the “flavour of the month” on platforms like Instagram or Twitter doesn’t necessarily translate to lasting recognition. In her view, actors should not be solely judged based on their online presence. Decoupling Fame and Success The correlation between fame and success isn’t as straightforward as it seems. Yashashri emphasizes that fame and professional achievements are not mutually dependent. An actor’s talent can resonate with audiences even if they don’t achieve widespread fame. Conversely, being famous doesn’t guarantee project success. She cites the example of Shah Rukh Khan, who faced box-office disappointments but remained an iconic figure. Character Names vs. Real Identity On television, some actors become synonymous with their character names. Yashashri acknowledges that this form of fame isn’t wasted—it […]
