YOUNG actress Shivangi Joshi has made an amazing impact on television, including a winning turn on smash hit serial Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and gained herself a global

fan base. One of her ardent admirers, who is based in Rajasthan, India, runs a fan club dedicated to the small screen superstar. Eastern Eye caught up with the fan club to

find out more...

Why did you set up the fan club?

I first saw Shivangi in Beintehaa, where her role was not major, but the innocence her eyes held captivated me. So I looked her up online. I planned a fan club in 2014. My fan

club is called @TeamShivangiJ.

Tell us about your fan club?

Basically, in the initial phase when Shivangi did Beintehaa and Begusarai, we were trying to promote this fresh and talented face on the social platforms. And now we try to update about her activities, events, show related stuff etc.

What has been your most memorable moment?

There have been many, but two stand out. First, it was when Shivangi herself was the very first follower of the fan club, and second when I interviewed her in the DM section.

What is your favourite work Shivangi has done?

Whatever Shivangi does is great in itself, but as I started watching her as Aayat (Beintehaa), that has to be a special character. Besides that, Naira (Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai) is her most challenging role and she’s doing it effortlessly.

What is the best thing you like about Shivangi Joshi?

Shivangi is very grounded and very friendly in nature. And at the age of 20, achieving such heights with her hard work is so commendable and I’m proud of her everyday.

Tell us an interesting fact about Shivangi?

Shivangi is a trained kathak dancer and has been dancing since she was a kid.

What is your definition of a true fan?

A true fan is the one who stands by their favourite through every thick and thin of their life, and gets influenced by them and pushes themselves towards good.

'Thudarum' review round-up: Mohanlal returns to form in a dark, emotional ride that’s winning hearts

Director Tharun Moorthy’s Thudarum has drawn attention not just for its gripping storyline, but for bringing back the Mohanlal audiences have longed to see: an actor rooted in emotion rather than spectacle. With critics praising both the writing and performances, Thudarum has emerged as a memorable addition to Mohanlal’s long filmography, with reviewers calling it a return to form.

Across the board, reviewers highlight how the film presents Mohanlal as Shanmugham (nicknamed Benz), a humble taxi driver and former stuntman who now lives a quiet life in a Kerala village with his wife, played by Shobana, and two children. His prized possession is his old black Ambassador car, a gift from a mentor which becomes central to the plot when it’s unknowingly used, setting off a chain of devastating events.

Can Sreeleela fill the big Bollywood void?

It is no secret that Bollywood is facing a talent drought. While established stars continue to dominate screens, there is a clear gap when it comes to younger actors making a strong mark.

In the past, each generation delivered a crop of newcomers who injected fresh energy into the industry. That pattern has stalled in recent years, with fewer young actors making a lasting impression. Into this space steps Sreeleela, a fast-rising actor from the South who has begun to attract serious attention in Hindi cinema.
