Dipika Kakar bags Star Plus’ next show

If you think that it was the last season of Salman Khan’s highly controversial reality show Bigg Boss that shot Dipika Kakar to fame, think again! The actress had become a household name way before Bigg Boss 12 came her way, thanks to Rashmi Sharma Telefilms’ Sasural Simar Ka wherein she played the title role for 8 long years.

It has been almost a year since Dipika has not taken up a fiction show. But if latest reports are to be believed, her fans will soon get to see her on Star Plus’ upcoming show. Yes, Dipika Kakar has been signed on to play the female lead in one of Star Plus’ forthcoming soaps.


Tentatively titled Pani Puri, the show is being produced by Sandiip Sikcand in association with SOL Productions. It will feature Dipika in the role of an actress. According to reports, she has already started shooting for her new offering.

Besides Dipika, Pani Puri also stars Karan V Grover, Abhishek Malik, Prachee Shah Pandya, and Tanaaz Irani in important roles. Karan V Grover has been paired opposite the actress on the show.

The show is expected to hit the airwaves towards the end of the next month.

More details are awaited.

TroyBoi returns to his Indian roots with Rootz EP using Lata Mangeshkar’s voice to redefine British diaspora music

Highlights:

  • TroyBoi’s five-track EP Rootz is a personal return to the sounds of his childhood, released via Ultra Records in September 2025.
  • The single Kabhi uses an officially cleared sample of Lata Mangeshkar’s vocal from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
  • Collaborations with Amrit Maan, Jazzy B and BombayMami plug Punjabi, Bhangra and south-Asian textures directly into modern trap and bass production.
  • This EP is part of a wider wave: British artists born into diasporas are using heritage not as garnish but as foundation.

Some albums hit you in ways you don’t see coming. Rootz is one of them. Not just another trap EP. TroyBoi, the London-born producer known for global bass and trap, has made something that’s also deeply personal. He didn’t just want to make music that bangs in clubs; instead, he wanted to reach back to the India of his childhood. And he did it with Rootz.

The track everyone’s talking about is Kabhi. Because it’s not just sampling Bollywood. Lata Mangeshkar’s voice was officially cleared for use on a non-Bollywood release, a milestone reported by multiple outlets. It’s history. It’s memory. And it’s a bridge.
