Actor Ashutosh Kaushik, who won the second season of Bigg Boss, got married on April 26. He tied the knot with Arpita Tiwari, whom he had met through a common friend two years ago. The ceremony, which was held on the terrace of the bride’s Noida residence, was attended by only a few, including Ashutosh’s mother, sister and brother, and Aprita’s mother and brother. Others attended the wedding virtually.
Ashutosh tells us, “We had finalised the date in February, as Akshaya Tritiya is believed to be an auspicious day for new beginnings. So, despite the Coronavirus lockdown, we decided to keep the date. We left for Arpita’s residence in a car with just four people, including me. We even requested the panditji to wear gloves and a mask.”
The actor has donated the money that he had intended to spend on the wedding, to those in dire need. He says, “I think this should become the norm now. Shaadi personal maamla hota hai. Why spend an insane amount of money on it? Rather, we should give it to the needy. I asked Arpita’s parents, too, to donate the money they had kept aside for the wedding.”
When I was released (from jail), I had zero expectations from the film industry-Monica Bedi

Actress Monica Bedi recently
visited Jaipur and the city brought back childhood memories. She had
been denied entry into a cinema hall, she recounts. “I must have been
around six or seven when I was in Jaipur for a family trip. I had never
gone to cinema halls before, so my parents took me to watch a film at
the famous Raj Mandir. At that point, Ram Teri Ganga Maili was being
screened. As we reached the gate, I was stopped by the guards. My
parents had to tell them that they were okay with me watching the film
and only then was I allowed inside. I remember I was more interested in
the interiors of the hall. It was beautiful,“ says Monica.
'BIGG BOSS HAS BEEN THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME'
While Monica started off with Bollywood films, she had to struggle a lot to get good roles after her involvement with gangster Abu Salem and her imprisonment. “When I was released (from jail), I had zero expectations from the film industry. I had no clue if I would ever get good projects. Bigg Boss has been the best thing that ever happened in my life. People got to know the real Monica and their perception changed about me, which helped me gain confidence.“
'I WAS INITIALLY SCEPTICAL ABOUT DOING A TV SHOW, AND THAT TOO PLAYING A NEGATIVE CHARACTER'
Monica, who has worked with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in the show Saraswatichandra, his directorial debut on television, says was sceptical about doing a TV show. She said, “This one was a negative character. While I was trying to re-establish myself in the industry, I did not want to take any risk. I took up the role, and soon realised that whatever this show and my character gave me in return was incomparable. People liked the role. The saris that I wore for the show became equally popular.“
