EXCLUSIVE: Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! Fun On The Run to have two climaxes For more than a decade, Edit II’s Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! has been more than just a television show - it has been a daily dose of comfort comedy, meme material, and pure chaos that audiences across generations swear by. With its iconic characters, endlessly quotable dialogues, and a brand of humour that feels both familiar and fresh, the show has carved out a legacy few sitcoms manage to achieve. Now, that beloved madness is ready to hit the silver screen - the film Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! Fun On The Run, which released today, promises to take everything fans love about the show. What’s interesting is that the film will have not one but two climaxes. The audience will get to see two endings in each show, which is a rare occurrence, especially for a comedy. In an industry where predictability often sneaks into comedies, the makers are throwing in a curveball. Each climax is designed to flip the story on its head, keeping audiences guessing right till the very end. The result is a comedy that refuses to wrap up neatly when you think it will. The film taps directly into the nostalgia factor while pushing the characters into a completely new storyline and setting. Viewers will meet the same Angoori Bhabi, Anita, Vibhuti, and Tiwari ji they adore - but this time, the situations are bigger, the stakes are higher, and the chaos is far more intense. The essence remains intact, but the canvas is wider, allowing... #Par_Hain #Ghar_Par #Bhabiji_Ghar #Hain #Ghar #Par #Bhabiji #film_Bhabiji #EXCLUSIVE #show

Rajpal Yadav before surrendering to Tihar Jail authorities, “There’s no other way out, there are no friends” Prolific legendary comedian Rajpal Yadav, who has given us decades of laughter, has gone to prison for a cheque bounce case of a meagre Rs 2. 5 crores. Rajpal surrendered to the Tihar Jail authorities in Delhi on Thursday after the Delhi High Court refused to grant him any relief in his cheque-bounce case. The actor had sought an extension of the deadline for his surrender. The request was declined. When this writer asked the truly kind and generous Rajpal about his predicament, he sadly said, “Sir, kya karoon? Mere paas paise nahin hain (sir, what to do? I don’t have the money to pay back). Aur koi upaay nahin dikhta (can’t see another way out). ”When this writer asked him why he didn’t ask his super-rich friends –like Priyadarshan who has worked with Rajpal in dozens of films and earns over Rs. 20 crores per film—Rajpal said, “Sir, yahan hum sab akele hain (sir, we are all on our own over here). There are no friends. I have to deal with this crisis on my own. ”Also Read: Rajpal Yadav to surrender at Tihar Jail after Delhi HC rejects extension in cheque bounce case... #High_Court #Tihar_Jail #Prolific_legendary #Jail_authorities #Rajpal_Yadav #Jail #Sir #Rajpal #Tihar #legendary_comedian

After Neeraj Pandey, Manoj Bajpayee addresses backlash over Ghooskhor Pandat title: “Not meant to be a statement about any community” Actor Manoj Bajpayee has responded to the controversy surrounding his upcoming Netflix film Ghooskhor Pandat following the filing of an FIR in Lucknow that accused the project of hurting religious and caste sentiments. Bajpayee reiterated that the film was not meant to target or offend any community, emphasising its fictional nature and his focus on portraying a character’s personal journey. The FIR was registered at Hazratganj Police Station after complaints were filed alleging that the film’s title and promotional material defamed the Brahmin community by associating the term Pandat with corruption. The legal action came amid broader backlash that has included petitions seeking a stay on the film’s release in the Delhi High Court as well as social media boycott calls. Sharing director Neeraj Pandey’s earlier statement on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Bajpayee said he respected the emotions and concerns expressed by members of the public. “I respect the emotions and concerns people have shared, and I take them seriously. When something you are part of causes hurt to some people, it makes you pause and listen,” he wrote. Bajpayee clarified that his involvement in Ghooskhor Pandat was rooted in storytelling rather than making any commentary on caste or community identity. “As an actor, I come to a film through the character an... #Manoj_Bajpayee #upcoming_Netflix #Ghooskhor_Pandat #Netflix_film #Actor_Manoj #Neeraj_Pandey #Manoj #controversy_surrounding #hurting_religious #Bajpayee_addresses
