AFTER making a stunning debut in hit Star Plus drama serial Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya, award-winning actor Arhaan Behll has been lighting up television in a wide array of projects, where he has mixed up hosting with portraying powerful roles. A recent chapter in his decade long success is a starring role in fantasy drama Yehh Jaadu Hai Jinn Ka.

With another big project on the way, Eastern Eye caught up with multi-talented star Arhaan in lockdown for a quick catch up.

What have you done to cope in lockdown?

Honestly, I did not find it difficult. There’s nothing you need to do. Just follow the guidelines, be aware and do things that you always wanted to do, being at home. I have been doing the same.

How do you look back on your acting journey?

I take things a little easy. There is no race, no competition and no fear for me. I just love what I do and put my heart into it. Considering that, I feel the journey has been ‘tailor-made’

Which of your projects challenged you the most as an actor?

Every character I portray challenges me. There are certain characteristics or mannerisms that you need to create for every character to make it lovable and for people to find ‘the connect’ with it. Also, to make it different from other similar characters. These details are never there in the script or creative brief, so I have to create on my own and I find it really stimulating.

Which of the characters is closest to your heart?

All of them are close to my heart, but if I have to pick one, then it would be Krishna from Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya.

What is the greatest lesson TV has taught you?

I feel that life teaches you everything. And what you learn, you implement wherever you work.

Tell us about your current project?

I finished shooting for Yehh Jaadu Hai Jinn Ka in March. I have not taken up anything yet, but talks are on for a web series.

What kind of content do you enjoy watching as an audience member?

Time travel and concepts based on space pull all my attention. Besides, I love watching Middle East cinema. Recently, I saw The Spy and enjoyed every bit of it. The last show I binge watched was Dark on Netflix, and it was worth it.

What would be your dream role?

I would love to play a  character that requires a lot of study and preparations. Something that would push me to explore and find something within to help connect! I would love to play Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker.

If you could master something new what would it be?

It would definitely be surfing. This has been an all time favourite desire and soon, I would be working on it. The feel of physically flowing with the ocean waves is indefinable and I want to master it.

Why do you love being an actor?

The only thing I fear is monotony. And this profession helps me deal with that. It allows me to be a different personality and lets me be under different skins every time. Besides, the joy of performing is phenomenal. It’s a different high.

Human brain continues forming neurons well into old age, study finds

Key points

  • New neurons continue forming in the brain’s hippocampus into old age
  • Study confirms presence of neural progenitor cells in adults
  • DNA carbon dating and single-nucleus RNA sequencing were used
  • Research shows variation in neuron production between individuals
  • Findings could aid treatments for neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders

Human brain shows ongoing neuron formation into older age

A new study has confirmed that the human brain continues to produce new nerve cells well into late adulthood, challenging previous assumptions about age-related decline in neurogenesis. The findings, published in the journal Science, provide fresh insight into how adaptable the brain remains over a lifetime.

Neurogenesis, the process by which new neurons form in the brain, is known to occur in the hippocampus — a region involved in memory. While previous research has suggested that this process continues throughout life, there has been limited concrete evidence of the presence of neural progenitor cells in the adult brain.

Sri Aurobindo

Heehs’s biography is grounded in extensive archival research across France, England, India and Israel

Sri Aurobindo and the rise of the Asian century

Dinesh Sharma

My friend and colleague, the American historian Peter Heehs, who has lived in Pondicherry, India, for decades, recently published a compelling new biography, The Mother: A Life of Sri Aurobindo’s Collaborator (2025). Heehs previously authored The Lives of Sri Aurobindo (2008), which remains one of the most balanced and scholarly accounts of Aurobindo’s life.

According to Heehs, most previous biographies of the Mother were written for devotees and relied on secondary sources, often presenting her as a divine incarnation without critical engagement. “Such biographies are fine for those who see the Mother as a divine being,” Heehs said, “but they can be off-putting for readers who simply want to understand her life – as an artist, writer, spiritual teacher, and founder of the Ashram and Auroville.”

Study warns of rising uterine cancer rates, with Black women hardest hit

Key points

  • Uterine cancer cases and deaths are projected to rise significantly in the US by 2050.
  • Black women are expected to experience the highest increase in incidence-based mortality.
  • A new model predicts incidence rising to 86.9 cases per 100,000 for Black women and 74.2 for White women.
  • Researchers stress the urgent need for improved prevention and early detection strategies.

Sharp increase in uterine cancer predicted over next three decades

Uterine cancer, currently the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the United States, is projected to see a substantial rise in both cases and deaths by 2050, particularly among Black women. A new study led by researchers at Columbia University warns of worsening racial disparities in outcomes if preventative measures are not introduced.

This year alone, around 69,120 new cases of uterine cancer and nearly 14,000 deaths are expected in the United States. However, projections by the Columbia University research team, published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, indicate a significant increase in both incidence and mortality over the next 30 years.
