Apart from that, even Sheezan Khan's sister Shafaqq's engagement news has been surfacing. Take a look at the top TV news of the week:

Neha Marda was rushed to the hospital due to complications in her final stage of pregnancy, however, now the actress is blessed with a baby girl and she exclusively spoke to Bombay Times about the premature delivery. She said, “I am hoping to be discharged by the end of this week and my daughter in a fortnight. I am yet to hold my child and gaze at her lovingly. She was with me briefly before she had to be moved to NICU being a premature baby. She has to put on some weight.”

Priyanka Chahar Choudhary was set to be a part of Khatron Ke Khiladi 13, however now she has turned down the offer. A source exclusively shared with ETimes TV that, "It seems she chickened out. But if she has some other offer that according to her is as good and lucrative as 'KKR', she should have been clear with the makers. Maybe she was clear, but one thing is for sure, she has backed out."

In the recent vlog, Charu Asopa opened up about how she suffered from Postpartum depression after Ziana's birth, she said, "I got a spinal headache. I wasn't able to feed her because I wasn't getting breast milk. Others would tell me it weakens the baby. I was vomiting on my way back home from the hospital two days after I was discharged. My spinal headache got better but the breast milk wasn't coming and it stressed me out. I had to start a baby formula for Ziana. People would question me for it."

She added, "But after a week, when the milk started coming, it wasn't enough. I had pain, there was soreness. It was a difficult time. It led to depression. I kept myself busy with vlogs. I used to show my journey with Ziana. My depression just went away once I started working. It kept me away from negative thoughts. If you have a baby, there are small health issues that need to be dealt with. But now over a period of time, I know why she is crying, if she is crying. Motherhood is a little isolating but then when your child is with you, all the pain goes away."

Pankhuri Awasthy and Gautam Rode are set to embrace parenthood, the duo got married in 2018 and now they are stepping into a new phase of their lives.

She said, "I remember there is a skincare company brand which is very famous for promoting fairness cream. They got a campaign to me twice and I said no, I am not going to work with you no matter what. You guys have always promoted wrong notions and that impacted my childhood very much. It has taken me time to come out of it."

She added, "The industry, fans, projects, films, and fans have helped me feel proud about it and embrace it, I want to do this for all the girls. I just want people to understand beauty standards are just façade, it is just a concept from an overpowering thought."

The news of the engagement of Sheezan Khan's sister Shafaqq Naaz has made the rounds. According to an entertainment portal, the actress will embark on an arranged-cum-love relationship.

Paras Chhabra spoke exclusively to Bombay Times reacting to the breakup news of Mahira Sharma and his, he shared, "Yes, we have not been talking to each other after a fight over petty issues for more than a week. But aisi fights toh hamari hamesha hoti rahi hain, even when we were inside the Bigg Boss house. I never thought that it will lead to a breakup. We have never said that we were lovers but yes we have always maintained that we are more than good friends and agar uppar waale ne chaha toh hum shaadi karengey but hamein ek doosre ko bandhna nahi tha relationship mein kisi tag se."

He further added, "In a fit of anger, I too have unfollowed her on Instagram but once things settle down I will definitely call her and clear the air. I am sure if we meet each other at a public place we will laugh out loud over this bachkani harkat. So, whatever this is I am assuming this is just temporary. Plus, this appears to be more of a PR-driven activity for her than anything else."
