Hosting cricket shows, Karishma Kotak was terrified of “looking like a bimbo.”

Karishma Kotak, an actor and model who frequently hosted pre-match shows at cricket competitions, has spoken out about how it has been for women at such events. Karishma recalled that when she first began hosting, the goal was for women to dress glamorously and ask a few questions. ‘I was very paranoid that I shouldn’t look like a bimbo,’ Karishma continued.

In 2012, Karishma competed as a contestant on season 6 of the reality series Bigg Boss. She has hosted the television programme Extraaa Innings T20, which features a post-game analysis of the 2013 Indian Premier League. She presided over the 2019 Cricket World Cup as well.

“I feel that now it’s much better than when I started in 2011–12,” Karishma said in a statement to News18. But Mandira (Bedi) got going first. Prior to me, Shonali (Nagrani) started. So it seemed to me that a few women had kind of paved the way. It wasn’t unusual for another girl to be hired as an IPL host because they were already there, but I believe that initially the protocol was more along the lines of “Glamorous dikho, chaar sawal karo and nikal jaao” (Look glamorous, ask a few questions, and then leave). How does it feel to play alongside Dhoni? It used to be those simple questions, and I was terrified I should not appear to be a bimbo.

She continued, “I think stereotypes about women emerge quite quickly, and I think it happens even at work, where we have to put in extra effort to show that we’re more than just pretty faces. I sat down in the commentator’s box and listened to them commentate because that’s how you learn, so when I did feel that way a little bit, that’s when I did it. I know what I’m doing and I know what I’m saying. Because you’re sitting down and watching, you get the inside scoop because what you see as a commentator and what you see as an audience are two different things. I used to just listen, and I still do. I believe it is much better now.

Karishma is currently anticipating the debut of her Sam Bhattacharjee-produced movie IRaH. The artificial intelligence theme of the film, which also stars Rohit Roy, Ameet Chana, Fagun Thakrar, and Rajesh Sharma, is explored.

2 ‘Kala Jatheri gang members’ killed in encounter with F’bad cops in Fatehabad

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody
The Faridabad police gunned down two members of the Kala Jatheri gang in an encounter near Fatehabad on Friday, officers said. A constable was injured in the gunfight, they added.

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody.

The identity of one of the deceased was not known, while the other was identified as Ravi (single name), who had 28 cases lodged against him in multiple districts.

Aman Yadav, assistant commissioner of Police (ACP), Faridabad said the incident occurred when the police van stopped near a roadside eatery on the outskirts of Fatehabad while transporting Ravi back to Faridabad jail after a court appearance in an Arms Act case.

“Four armed individuals attacked the police team, firing multiple rounds to facilitate Ravi’s escape. In retaliation, police returned fire, killing Ravi and another suspect on the spot,” Yadav said.

Constable Sarjeet Yadav suffered a gunshot wound to his left forearm. He was rushed to a civic hospital, where his condition is reported to be stable, said police.

Yadav said that Ravi, who had been lodged in Faridabad jail since April 24, 2023, was being transported after attending an appeal hearing at the Fatehabad court. The ambush, allegedly orchestrated by Ravi’s associates, was intended to secure his release from custody. The police’s swift response thwarted the plan.

Ravi had a long history of violent crimes, including murder, attempted murder, dacoity, robbery, and Arms Act violations. His activities spanned multiple districts, such as Sonipat, Jind, Rohtak, Faridabad, and Delhi. He was a key member of the Kala Jathedi gang, led by the notorious gangster Sandeep alias Kala Jathedi, who is currently in Tihar Jail.

Kala Jathedi himself is implicated in over a dozen cases across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. In 2020, he famously escaped from Haryana Police custody during a similar ambush orchestrated by his gang.

ACP Yadav confirmed that police teams are actively investigating to identify the remaining attackers involved in the ambush. “We are working to uncover the identities of the other suspects who participated in the operation. Stringent action will be taken against all involved,” Yadav said.

This encounter is part of an ongoing crackdown on organized crime, with authorities aiming to dismantle gangs operating in the region.
