Sindhu writes drama, and she’s in the semi-finals

Sindhu was born for television. She was born to capture eyeballs on a day-to-day basis. It will escape the dour medal-counters of Indian sport just how precious her value is, to sport’s biggest metric: capturing eyeballs. She adds a zing of natural theatrics to every game she plays, and her pivots are among the most prominent of pivots at any tournament. India’s P.V. Sindhu beat China’s He Bingjiao to reach the semi-finals of the Badminton Asian Championship in Manila. The inflection-point in the quarterfinals came at 16-14 in the decider, not 16-15 as China claimed. The former world number one raced into a huge lead in the second and took it 21-9 in the third to set up a dramatic decider.

The chair umpire had been kept busy by the duo with challenges as the shuttle straggled along the tramlines like a tipsy trundler at 3-2 early in the game. Bingjiao Bingjiao’s floating return landed on the sideline, bringing her to two points within Sindhu’s score. The challenge was more of a water-sipper break than anything with conviction because the shuttle dropped within inches of her. At the start of that rally, the score on the adjacent court with another women’s singles quarterfinal was 4-1. The confusion went on for long enough as the announced score and the screen scores were revised with two outside officials walking onto the court to resolve the muddle. The review went in the Chinese player’s favour. Both players then took turns declaring their versions of the score to the chair umpire. The confusion went on for long enough for two outside officials to come on to the court to resolve the muddle. Eventually, it was Sindhu’s turn to take it to 20-17 and three match points before falling victim to an avalanche of errors. A 24-shot rally followed, and a series of errors from Sindhu led to her downfall.

Sonakshi takes saiyyan Zaheer to bhaiya Kapil Sharma’s show; Shatrughan Sinha joins them as ‘bhola bhala aadmi’

This weekend, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal will grace Kapil Sharma’s show with Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam Sinha for a family special episode

Back in May this year, Sonakshi Sinha made an appearance on Kapil Sharma’s comedy show to promote her web series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. The actor was joined by her co-stars Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh and Sharmin Segal. During this episode, Kapil told Sonakshi that her fellow Bollywood divas Alia Bhatt and Kiara Advani are now married. Hearing this, Sonakshi claimed that Kapil is rubbing salt in her wounds because he knows how eager she is to get married. Sonkashi’s wish was granted a month later when she tied the knot with Zaheer Iqbal. Well, she is now returning to Kapil’s show, this time with her husband.

In the trailer of the upcoming episode, Sonakshi introduces Zaheer to Kapil in a hilarious way. She claims that anyone who wants to get married should come to Kapil’s show and call him ‘bhaiya’. Gesturing at Zaheer, Sonakshi then tells Kapil, “Bhaiya, meet my saiyyan.” Well, things get even more fun when Sonakshi’s superstar father Shatrughan Sinha joins them along with her mother Poonam Sinha. This is the first time the entire Sinha family and their new son-in-law have appeared together on national television. At the end of this trailer, Shatrughan describes himself as ‘bhola bhala, shareef aadmi’. But Poonam leaves everyone in splits when she replies, “Mujhse poocho.”

In another fun bit, Shatrughan reveals how Dharmendra once told him to always be ‘a one woman man, at a time’. Well, fans can’t keep calm and are now expressing their excitement in the comment section below. For instance, one social media user gushed, “So happy they’re gonna be on the show! ❤️❤️❤️❤️,” whereas another Sonakshi-Zaheer fan claimed, “This episode is a slap to people who were saying that Shatrughan was not happy with Sonakshi and Zaheer’s marriage.”
