Shivangi Khedkar: I am the kind of person who wants to work on my birthday, Diwali, and festivals (Exclusive)

Shivangi Khedkar is one of the most popular faces in the Indian Television industry. The actress has been garnering praises for her performance in the TV show Mehndi Hai Rachne Waali.

Eastern Eye recently interacted with Khedkar and when we asked her about her Diwali plans, the actress said, “I was telling my EP (executive producer) that ‘please give a holiday on Diwali, I want to go home and meet my parents'. But, he is like ‘I won’t be able to say it now as maybe we will be working this Diwali’.”


“Actually, I don’t mind. I am the kind of person who wants to work on my birthday, Diwali, and good festivals. So, I am okay with it, but I thought I would like to see my mom and dad. But, let’s see now what happens, we will get to know a day prior, not even like five days prior but a day prior that too in the evening that tomorrow we have a holiday. So, as of now, no plans,” she added.

When asked if there’s some Diwali special happening on her show Mehndi hai Rachne Waali, Khedkar said, “We are getting screenplays a day prior. We have a day off because we don’t have a screenplay. I can tell you what’s going to happen in the next episode, but I can’t tell you about Diwali. We all want some Diwali celebration happening, there’s some preparation going on for it. But, of course there will be drama and when there’s drama everything is kept aside.”

Mehndi Hai Rachne Waali also stars Sai Ketan Rao in the lead role, and viewers love Khedkar and Rao’s pairing.

Water demand sparks questions around shoot logistics

The upcoming pan-Indian film Varanasi, directed by S. S. Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu, has reportedly run into a logistical challenge ahead of a key shooting schedule. According to reports, the production team sought a substantial number of water tankers for an underwater sequence being prepared at a specially constructed set near Gaganpahad in Hyderabad.

It is claimed that around 150 tankers, each carrying 10,000 litres, were requested from the city’s water authorities. However, the request was reportedly turned down due to ongoing summer shortages and increasing demand for drinking water across Hyderabad. There has been no official confirmation from the makers, though the reports have circulated widely online.
