Resshmi Ghosh on taking break from acting and playing Mansa Devi in Mahakali

Actress Resshmi Ghosh, who won the Miss India Earth crown in 2002, is known for portraying popular characters like Bhoomi Virani in Ekta Kapoor’s Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Indravati in Rashmi Sharma’s Sasural Simar Ka.

After Sasural Simar Ka ended its television run on Colors, Ghosh took a small break from acting. However, she could not keep herself away from the arc light for long and decided to return to TV soon.


She currently plays the character of Mansa Devi in Siddharth Kumar Tewary’s popular mythological show Mahakali: Anth Hi Aarambh Hai, which airs on Colors. Though it is a cameo role, Ghosh decided to take it up as she felt it was a great opportunity for her to begin again.

“I had taken leave from the industry for the past one year. I wanted to start again with a prominent character. This is why I decided to take up this role, although it is just a cameo. I feel this is the good way to begin again. Mansa Devi is my idol. I have admired her since my childhood,” she says.

When asked about her character in the show, she adds, “Mansa Devi is the daughter of Parvati. She is a silent character and a peaceful person.”

Mahakali: Anth Hi Aarambh Hai airs Monday - Friday at 7 pm on Colors.

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.
