Remember Chandrakanta Aka Shikha Swaroop From Famous Show? This Is How She Looks Like Now

Bollywood is one of the most attractive industries of the country and winning a beauty pageant certainly makes it easy for the winner to enter the industry but not every beauty queen has a long acting career. Shikha Swaroop, the actress-model who won the Miss India International 1988 during her college days may have worked in quite a few movies and serials but she is always remembered because of her role in the fantasy television series Chandrakanta.

This series was based on the novel written by Devaki Nandan Khatri which had the same name and was written in 1888. The show was aired on DD National for around two years 1994-96 and it was one of the favourite shows of the viewers in those times.

Shikha’s acting career started well as she worked in few movies including Tahalka, Policewala Gunda, Pranlal Mehta’s Police Public, Gulshan Kumar’s Naag Mani, Kayda Kanoon, Pyar Hua Chori Chori, Cheetah, Thanedarni and Awaaz De Kahan Hai which had some big names of the industry and she also got to work in some famous TV shows such as Andaaz, Amar Prem, Anupama, Sunil Agnihotri’s Yug and Siddhant Vision’s Kahan Se Kahan tak but her acting career didn’t last long.

However, she tried to make a comeback in the year 2011 with Kahani Chandrkanta Ki and Ramayan (2012-13) but wasn’t able to make much impact and since then, she has been missing from small screen as well as big screen. As far as her personal life is concerned, she got married to an army pilot Rajiv Lal but their marriage was short-lived. Shikha Swaroop has also won gold medal in a pistol shooting competition and has also played badminton at the national level.

Shikha Swaroop’s image of Chandrakanta is still alive in the hearts of her fans but recently when few of her photos went viral, people were amazed to see that she still looks beautiful like earlier.

This is how Shikha Swaroop looks like now:

Isn’t she still gorgeous?

Jasprit Bumrah Revealed How Troubling Ricky Ponting Helped Him Secure A Place In MI

The Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah is an integral part of the Indian cricket team as well as his IPL team Mumbai Indians and many times he has given match-winning performances for both the teams. Over the years, he has earned the reputation of being one of the best pacers of the present times and how important he is for MI can be understood by the fact that he was also one of those four players who were retained by the franchise.

Mumbai Indians retained its skipper Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, West Indian cricketer Kieron Pollard and Surya Kumar Yadav ahead of the auction for the IPL 2022 and Bumrah is getting paid Rs. 12 crore by the franchise. Though Jasprit Bumrah performed well in the IPL 2021 as he took 21 wickets in 14 matches and was the third highest wicket-taker in the tournament yet MI was not able to even enter the play-offs.

Recently while speaking on the YouTube channel of his teammate and veteran Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin, Bumrah narrated how he got the chance to play for Mumbai Indians in the year 2013.

He told that the MI team was practicing in Bengaluru and he practiced with the squad for 2 days. The practice wickets were green and the white ball used to swing at that time. During the practice, he troubled everyone with his big in-swingers and he also dismissed the former Aussie cricketer Ricky Ponting 2-3 times. The MI officials and players had a discussion about him and decided to play him as they felt that he is different.

MI lifted its first IPL trophy in the year 2013 and Bumrah has played an important role in all the five title wins of his team.

The IPL 2022 is slated to start from March 26 and the finals of the tournament will be played on 29th May. However, only MI will have the home advantage as the Board of Control for Cricket in India has finalized four stadiums for the tournament and out of these four stadiums, three are in Mumbai while one is in Pune. The players will have to live in bio-bubble in order to remain safe from COVID-19.

Do you think MI will win the IPL sixth time?

“Aakhir Kehna Kya Chahte Ho?,” Fans Left Confused After BCCI Announced IPL 2022 New Format

The Indian cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the IPL 2022 to begin as this time it is going to be bigger and better than ever because two new teams Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans will be joining the eight existing teams in the fight to win the IPL trophy. The tournament is going to start from March 26 and the final will be played on May 29.

The three venues have been finalized in Mumbai – Wankhede Stadium, Brabourne Stadium and DY Patil Stadium and one venue has been chosen in Pune which is – MCA International Stadium.

Many of us thought that this time, the matches played will be more than the earlier seasons as two new teams have been added in the tournament but BCCI has change the format of the league phase so that the number of matches gets reduce to some extent. However no changes have been made in regard to the play-offs and each team will still play 14 matches in the league phase but in a different manner.

The 10 teams have been divided in two groups, the Group A has Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants and the Group B consists of Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans.

MI and CSK have been kept on the top in the groups on the basis of the number of trophies won by them. Each team will play 2 matches with the teams of their group and 2 matches with one team of the other group and one-one match with other four teams of the other group. BCCI has given seedings to each team and it will decide which teams from different groups will play 2 matches against each other.

The Indian Twitterati went berserk after seeing that this new format is a little complicated and difficult to understand. Here are some selected reactions:

WWE NXT Star Carmelo Hayes Reacts After Trending On Social Media Because Of Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya is certainly one of the most popular cricketers of the present times and it is not just because of his cricketing skills but his flamboyant nature and love for fitness have also played a big role in his huge popularity. The all-rounder from Gujarat last played for the country in the ICC T20 World Cup and wasn’t able to make much impact with his performance as he was facing some injury issues.

Though Hardik Pandya was associated with the IPL team Mumbai Indians for a long time, the franchise released him ahead of the mega-auction for the IPL 2022 and now he will be leading the new IPL team Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2022 as the Gujarat franchise acquired his services for Rs. 15 crore.

Some time ago, Hardik Pandya posted a video on his social media accounts in which he was seen with his grandmother. In the video, they both copied the dance steps of Southern superstar Allu Arjun which he did in his recent release “Pushpa: The Rise”. The video was loved by his fans and followers and Hardik Pandya is trending once again on the social media networks but this time, he hasn’t done anything.

Recently, Hardik Pandya started trending on the virtual world after his fans found uncanny resemblance between him and the WWE NXT wrestler Carmelo Hayes. Twitter users started posting photos of Hardik Pandya and Carmelo Hayes and it won’t be wrong to say that they both look quite similar.

Here are few selected reactions:

Carmelo Hayes also noticed that he is trending in the hugely populated country India and when he realized that it is happening because of an Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya, he posted a tweet in which he thanked Pandya.

Carmelo wrote, “@hardikpandya7 has me trending in India. Much love”.

On the matter of Hardik Pandya not making it to the Indian squad for the Sri Lankan series, the chief selector Chetan Sharma states that though Hardik is an important part of the squad, he will be considered only after he is 100 percent fit.

What do you have to say about the resemblance between Hardik Pandya and Carmelo Hayes? Uncanny, isn’t it?
