Does any ZEE5 character match your personality? Let’s explore!

Ever since coming into existence in 2018, leading OTT platform ZEE5 has been consistently trying to come up with shows which have strong narratives and relatable characters. There is no denying the fact that the majority of ZEE5 Originals have hit the home run just because viewers related to some of the characters as they reminded them of themselves or they aspired to be like one of the characters.

Today, we bring to our readers some of the most popular characters from the universe of ZEE5 Originals. Feel free to find out which character matches your personality most.


Audaciously Neelam: Bamfaad

Cherishing the experience of modern love in the old streets of Allahabad, Neelam isn’t the one to follow the ‘Girls should be seen, not heard’ philosophy. She is the one who would dare to speak as much she would be seen creating memories in a city that wouldn’t encourage her to. Here is Neelam wanting to paint it pink with her reckless little adventures of love. After all, what should she be afraid of? She isn’t the one to be lost in the whirlwinds of the dark confines of conformist beliefs. While the world wants to portray masks and unrealistic images to be accepted, she has lowered the walls of apprehension to give it all to her unswerving love. Come what may, if you are this intrepid and would go any lengths to protect your love, then Neelam is the character who would be amazingly relatable to you. Explore the crazy love of Neelam and Naate in Bamfaad while it takes you on the relatable journey.

Unapologetically Meira: Mentalhood

Meira Kapoor is the quintessential small-town mom who has set her feet on the flowered grounds of South Bombay, shouldering a household with three kids and her husband whilst facing her own struggles with aspirations from which she is often made to choose, mostly ending up prioritising the former. It is yet delightful to regard that she doesn’t drown her identity in the deep sea of responsibilities and challenges.  A product of an archetypal culture, where women are often looked down for not being the perfect mother, daughter, sister or wife, Meira isn’t afraid to commit her share of mistakes only to learn from them. So, if you are someone who swears by the audacity of being unapologetically yourself, then you would love the character of Karisma Kapoor in Mentalhood.

 Passionately Monica: Code M

Monica isn’t someone who would play by the rules. She isn’t the one to take the easy route even when it seems to be the most convenient without exploring all the possibilities. She may not look like a team player at first, only to unveil that she likes things her way. While she is constantly tried to be brought down by everyone around her, she isn’t the one who can be tamed or unnerved. While you would find her to be the tough one, if you look deeper, she is actually also someone who can be the life of the party, perfectly balancing her roles. Passion is one word to describe Monica Mehra and if you are the type to go beyond the confines of the 9 to 5 driven by vehemence, then you would definitely relate to her character! Get inspired and thrilled with the gripping plot of Code M while you explore the various interesting aspects of Major Monica Mehra’s personality.

Enthusiastically Biji: Who’s Your Daddy?

While Soggy is busy impressing Mahek and his father is on a journey of surprising explorations, here is Biji breaking the stereotypes of being a typical grandmom! With a glass of whiskey in one hand and great enthusiasm in her heart, she is the one living the life and no one can dare to stop her. While we have had this image of their generation as being the disciplinarians and profusely brimming with sanskaars, you might have to rethink this! If you have that chilled out Punjabi biji who enjoys her rock music more than a pravachan, you should totally watch Who’s Your Daddy!

Chris Brown arrested in Manchester over alleged nightclub bottle attack on music producer

R&B star Chris Brown was taken into custody early Thursday morning in Manchester, England, over an alleged assault at a London nightclub in 2023. Police arrested the 36-year-old singer at The Lowry Hotel shortly after 2 a.m., charging him with causing grievous bodily harm to music producer Abe Diaw.

The incident dates back to 19 February 2023, when Brown reportedly attacked Diaw at Tape nightclub in Mayfair, central London. According to Diaw’s lawsuit filed last October, Brown struck him multiple times on the head with a bottle of Don Julio 1942 tequila. The assault allegedly continued with Brown stomping and kicking Diaw, leaving him unconscious for about 30 seconds and requiring hospitalisation for head wounds and torn ligaments in his leg.

The man who started it all, Dadasaheb Phalke, the pioneer of Indian cinema, is set to be immortalised on screen not once, but twice. In a surprising turn, two major biopics on the "Father of Indian Cinema" are in the works, with Bollywood and Tollywood’s biggest stars stepping into his shoes.

First, reports emerged that Jr NTR will portray Phalke in Made in India, a project backed by RRR director SS Rajamouli. The film, announced last year, will be a pan-India release diving into the birth of Indian cinema. Sources say NTR was instantly drawn to the script, fascinated by lesser-known aspects of Phalke’s journey. The actor, always known for his high-action roles, will take on a more subdued, dramatic part this time.

Scarlett Johansson slams Oscars for snubbing 'Avengers: Endgame' for Best Picture and calls out lengthy award shows

Scarlett Johansson has once again voiced her frustration over the Oscars overlooking Avengers: Endgame for the Best Picture category. The actress, known for portraying Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, expressed her disbelief during an interview. She questioned how a film as groundbreaking and successful as Endgame managed to receive only one nomination, for visual effects, at the 2020 Academy Awards.

“It was an impossible movie that shouldn’t have worked, yet it did, both as a film and as a cultural moment,” Johansson remarked. She pointed out that the film not only pushed creative boundaries but also became one of the highest-grossing movies of all time. Despite its global impact and critical acclaim, Endgame remained absent from major Oscar categories, including Best Picture.
