Kaun Banega Crorepati 17: Sunil Grover and Krushna Abhishek have Amitabh Bachchan in splits with their comedy
The latest promo from Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 17 features comedians Sunil Grover and Krushna Abhishek lighting up the stage with their trademark humor. The long-running quiz show, hosted by Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, has been winning hearts since its August 11 premiere with a mix of knowledge and entertainment.
In this fun-filled episode, Grover and Abhishek appeared as special guests and brought their comedic flair to the hot seat, sparking laughter throughout the studio — including from Big B himself.
One standout moment in the promo shows Sunil Grover hilariously performing his 2017 comedic song Mere Husband Mujhko Pyaar Nahi Karte. He also showcased his sharp mimicry skills by impersonating Amitabh Bachchan — complete with matching attire. Taking over the host’s chair, Grover joked with the real Bachchan, who moved to the contestant's seat.
“Looking at him, it feels like I’m talking to myself,” quipped Amitabh, amused by Grover’s lookalike act.
Continuing the comedy, Grover asked a tongue-in-cheek question in typical KBC style:“How much smaller is Choti Diwali compared to Badi Diwali? Or is it just short in height, and that’s why it's called ‘Choti’?”The playful question had both the audience and the host roaring with laughter. Grover even mock-scolded an audience member who attempted to leave mid-show.
Later in the episode, Grover and Abhishek had a light-hearted chat with Amitabh. Krushna joked about their usual roles in The Great Indian Kapil Show, saying,“This is the one time I can call him 'Sunil bhai' — otherwise, on our show, we’re playing sisters every week!”
The episode blends comedy with camaraderie, making for a memorable and laughter-packed segment on the iconic quiz show.

Hollywood stars Tom Cruise and Ana De Armas have ended their relationship after dating for less than nine months, according to a report by The Sun. Sources say the couple decided to remain friends after realizing that “the spark had gone” between them.
A source close to the actors told The Sun, “Tom and Ana had a good time together, but their time as a couple has run its course. They are going to remain good friends but they aren’t dating anymore. They just realized they weren’t going to go the distance and that they are better off as mates.” The report added that both handled the breakup in a “mature and adult” manner.

Ashneer Grover, the Indian entrepreneur and reality TV star known for Shark Tank India and currently hosting the streaming show Rise & Fall, has reportedly received an offer to join Bigg Boss 19, hosted by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.
On Friday, Ashneer shared a screenshot of the email on his Instagram Stories, revealing the approach from the show’s makers. The email, sent by Rohit Gupta, Senior Casting Coordinator of Bigg Boss Season 19, invited Ashneer to participate as a wildcard contestant. It read:

As a wildcard contestant, you would have the chance to enter the Bigg Boss house mid-season, bringing fresh energy and perspective to the show."
While Ashneer’s official response to the offer is unknown, he posted the email online with a lighthearted comment: “Haha! Salman bhai se pooch le!! Mai to free ho jaaunga tab tak. Ye 'mail merge' kisi ki to naukri khayega” (Haha! Ask Salman bhai! I’ll be free by then. This ‘mail merge’ will take someone’s job). He implied that his commitments to Rise & Fall would be completed before he could potentially join Bigg Boss 19.
Ashneer and Salman share a history from Bigg Boss 18’s ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episode, where Ashneer appeared as a guest and faced a confrontation with the host over previous remarks. Ashneer had claimed in a podcast that he was denied a photo with Salman and that he had negotiated down Salman’s brand ambassadorship fee for BharatPe from INR 7.5 crore to INR 4.5 crore. Salman contested these claims, saying he didn’t recall meeting Ashneer. Ashneer responded, insisting he went peacefully and that his public comments were exaggerated but not disrespectful.

Wednesday Season 2 Part 2: Jenna Ortega Fronts Netflix's Star-Studded Mayhem
Netflix Original Series Wednesday is back, and it still knows how to pull that odd trick of being both creepy and funny at once. Wednesday Season 2 Part 2 aired on September 3, 2025, and picks up the story with more of that sly humour and the fleeting yet striking touches of dark horror. Jenna Ortega, unsurprisingly, continues to ground everything with that sharp, almost cutting presence of hers. The regular cast slides comfortably back into place, but what really keeps viewers leaning in are the new faces and the unexpected cameos. Let’s dive into a story that broadens its twisted scope while showcasing star performances at their finest.
Cast and Crew of Wednesday Season 2 Part 2
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar continue as creators and showrunners, extending their role into the executive production team. Part 2 consists of four episodes, matching the structure of Part 1 and completing the season with eight in total. Angela Robinson directed the opening two, while Tim Burton took charge of the closing pair, adding his unmistakable touch to the finale.
This part also marks a step forward for Jenna Ortega, who joins Carmen Pepelea as producer. Regulars Isaac Ordonez, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, and Luis Guzman remain central to the story. In Season 2 specials, Hunter Doohan, Emma Myers, Georgie Farmer, Moosa Mostafa, Joy Sunday, and Victor Dorobantu reprise their original characters.
Read more: Top 10 Netflix Originals Premiering in September 2025
Fresh arrivals include Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, Noah B. Taylor, Christopher Lloyd, and Thandiwe Newton. These additions stretch the world of Nevermore outward, giving the relationships more room to shift and complicate. The one who has been buzzing about most, of course, is Lady Gaga; she turns up as Rosaline Rotwood, a cryptic new teacher at the Academy.
Darker Set, Layered Plots, and Shocking Reveals
The final half of season two keeps up the same cocktail of biting humour, supernatural chaos, and yes, those dance moments that are practically designed to go viral. The scale is bigger this time – choreographed numbers, effects-heavy battles, and lots of visual dazzle. And while that’s undeniably entertaining, it sometimes comes at the cost of the smaller, more character-driven moments that made Nevermore’s world feel layered in the first place.
Amid the noise, key revelations shift the narrative toward a darker future. Aunt Ophelia Frump surfaces alive in Grandmama Hester’s basement. Wednesday regains fragments of her psychic abilities. Enid finally steps fully into her alpha werewolf role, even if it means standing apart to protect someone she cares about. The Hyde storyline wraps on a tragic note, and Thing gets an unexpected reimagining with an origin tied to Isaac Night.

Characters Over Plots: Familiar and New Faces
If anything, this second half thrives on its cameos and the steady return of old characters. The most daring swing is Gaga’s long-teased entrance as Rosaline Rotwood. She plays her as cool and unreadable, a presence that slots right into Nevermore’s atmosphere and reminds you she’s more than capable of commanding the screen outside the music stage.
Equally striking is the return of Gwendoline Christie as Larissa Weems. Now a spectral guide, she offers Wednesday sharp counsel as the character wrestles with lost powers. Christie’s scenes with Zeta-Jones have a quiet sharpness; their exchanges are among the most memorable of the season.
Christopher Lloyd also makes a mark as Professor Orloff, performing through little more than a floating head. There’s a short but powerful scene where he shares the frame with Agnes and Thing, and it quietly drives home the show’s running theme of belonging. It’s one of those fleeting but tender beats that stick with you. On the other end of the spectrum, Joanna Lumley’s Hester Frump bursts in with sharp timing and wit, a reminder that Wednesday never strays too far from its streak of dark playfulness.

The abundance of standout performances, however, leaves less room for others to grow. Billie Piper’s Isadora Capri finally receives more attention, though the shift feels uneven. Thandiwe Newton’s Dr. Rachael Fairburn, despite her potential, is quickly sidelined, a casualty of an overcrowded story.
Tim Burton's Directing Charisma Over Nevermore
The season’s closing half carries Tim Burton’s unmistakable directing prowess. The last two episodes really carry his stamp; he manages to let the grotesque and the mischievous live side by side, and somehow they don’t clash. Instead, they sit together comfortably, as if that uneasy mix is the show’s natural state. Episode 5 pushes the story toward its climax, while Episode 6 lingers on character depth. By Episodes 7 and 8, the threads tighten into larger arcs, resolved with Burton’s familiar gothic flourish.
Death, decay, and eccentricity remain his canvas, yet the show’s strength lies in how it embraces those risks. In doing so, Wednesday continues to celebrate the strange heart of the Addams family.

Setting Stage for Season 3: What Lies Ahead
Even with its crowded storyline, the season narrows to the bonds at its center, Wednesday, Enid, and their family. Those moments cut through the chaos and suggest sharper, more unsettling turns ahead as Season 3 takes shape.
The next chapter is expected to build on the sharp turns of Season 2 while leading Wednesday into even stranger, riskier territory.
Netflix has already confirmed the renewal, though no timeline has been set. Production has yet to begin, and the creators remain silent on filming details.

In a Nutshell
Wednesday Season 2 Part 2 delivers on fan expectations, with the story anchored by a compelling performance from Jenna Ortega. The horror creation of Alfred Gough and Miles Millar sharpens its edge through striking direction and eerie worldbuilding. Twists and shocking reveals keep the narrative unpredictable and engaging. But the crowded cast, even with Lady Gaga’s debut, sometimes overshadows smaller roles. Still, it didn’t push the show away from being Netflix’s most hyped horror series.

After a long hiatus, journalist-turned-actor Ahmed Shabbir Romeo is set to return to the screen in the role of a labour leader in the telefilm 'Garments Bondho',@ scheduled to air on Channel i on Friday, August 29, at 3 pm.

The telefilm’s tagline — “When the factory gates close, it’s not just the machines that stop. Thousands of dreams come to a halt, countless families are shattered” — reflects its central theme.
