Sony Entertainment Television brings viewers a monsoon romance drama with ‘Barsatein-Mausam Pyaar Ka’
Mumbai: Sony Entertainment Television’s latest fiction offering, ‘Barsatein-Mausam Pyaar Ka,’ premiered on 10 July, depicting a stormy love story between two headstrong individuals, Reyansh (Kushal Tandon) and Aradhana (Shivangi Joshi). Set in the milieu of a newsroom, the intriguing narrative of this monsoon romance drama follows the ups and downs of Reyansh and Aradhana’s journey as they become entangled in a complex web of emotions.
Kushal Tandon makes a powerful comeback to television as the charismatic Reyansh Lamba, a heartbreaker with an enigmatic personality. Shivangi Joshi, on the other hand, embodies the role of Aradhana Sahni, an ambitious and determined young woman who aspires to be a fearless journalist. Despite recognizing the warning signs, Aradhana finds herself drawn to Reyansh, igniting the start of their tumultuous love story.
In the last few episodes, Aradhana finds out that Reyansh and his mother share an estranged relationship and viewers witness Aradhana bravely confronting Reyansh’s mother, leading to a significant change in Reyansh’s heart. Despite being someone who has no interest or desire for romantic relationships, Reyansh finds himself falling in love with Aradhana. But Reyansh is taken aback when he catches Aradhana in a lie, which breaks his fragile trust in her. Will Reyansh be able to trust in his love or will he end up breaking Aradhana’s heart is something that viewers will have to tune in to the show to find out.
To celebrate the love and support received from fans, Kushal Tandon and Shivangi Joshi visited Indore. Shivangi Joshi expressed her joy in playing the confident and inspirational character of Aradhana Sahni, who bravely speaks her mind. Kushal Tandon, who agrees that there is a little of him in his character Reyansh Lamba, shared how the perspective on love can change with the right person. Additionally, the cast visited one of the biggest cable networks in Madhya Pradesh, ‘Digiana Projects Private Limited’.
Speaking about portraying the character of Aradhana Sahni and visiting Indore, Shivangi Joshi said, “I have been receiving so much positive feedback about my character, Aradhana. The fact that viewers, especially women, could relate to this character and her nuances pushes me every day to deliver my best performance. Aradhana is a very confident and inspirational character, she’s frank about her opinions and does not think twice before speaking her heart, making her a wonderful personality. I thoroughly enjoy playing this character and I hope the people of Indore will tune in to watch our show. It’s been wonderful meeting fans in the city today and I’m hoping to go shopping for some Indori namkeen at the end of today.”
Kushal Tandon who portrays the role of Reyansh Lamba said, “Reyansh feels like a tailor-made character for me, a lot of our traits are similar. But he carries a piece of emotional baggage from the past because of his cold relationship with his mother. He believes that women are selfish, and its best to stay away from the notion of love and messy emotional relationships. But when Aradhana took his side and fought for him in front of his mother, his perspective changed, and a very different side of Reyansh comes to the front. I am hoping that our fans in Indore continue to shower their love for our show and I am really looking forward to stepping out and trying some of the famous street food this city has to offer.”
Thrilled to host the cast of Barsatein Mausam Pyaar ka, Sukhdev Singh Ghumman and Tejinder Pal Singh Ghumman of Digiana Cable Network said, “Sony Entertainment Channel always brings up the unique, fresh, and relatable shows that resonate well with the audience across generations. We thank Kushal and Shivangi for taking the time to speak with us and we hope that our viewers and subscribers enjoyed the interview as much as we did.”
The show continues to captivate audiences with its fast-paced storytelling and etched-out characters, making it a must-watch Indian television drama.
Produced by Balaji Telefilms, Barsatein-Mausam Pyaar Ka airs every Monday to Friday at 8:00 PM only on Sony Entertainment Television!

MUMBAI: Shakira’s hips don’t lie and neither does the buzz, the Colombian superstar is shaking up India with a long-awaited return, headlining the Feeding India Concert 2026 across two cities for the first time ever. Announced on 20 February 2026, the third edition of the music-for-change initiative organised by not-for-profit Feeding India alongside District by Zomato brings the multiple Grammy winner to Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Racecourse on 10 April and Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on 15 April. Presented by HSBC India and exclusively ticketed via District, the shows mark Shakira’s first major India gigs in nearly two decades.
Fans have been waiting eagerly for this Latin pop powerhouse known for anthems like Hips Don’t Lie, Whenever, Wherever, and the iconic World Cup hit Waka Waka to light up the stage again. But it’s not just about the beats, Shakira’s involvement amps up the national conversation on hunger and child malnutrition. Through her Barefoot Foundation, she’s long championed education and welfare for vulnerable kids worldwide, a mission that dovetails neatly with Feeding India’s push toward the UN’s Zero Hunger goal by 2030.
Shakira said, “Performing in India has always been special to me, and I’m excited to connect with my fans across Mumbai and Delhi. The Feeding India Concert is about more than music, it’s about standing together to ensure every child has access to the nutrition they need to thrive.”
District by Zomato CEO Rahul Ganjoo added, “This is a defining moment for the Feeding India Concert. Bringing an artist of Shakira’s global stature to two cities represents our commitment to scaling impact while delivering world-class entertainment. Music has the unique power to unite people across boundaries, and we’re leveraging that to drive meaningful conversations that can transform lives.”
Feeding India tackles hunger through government-backed systemic work, direct meal support in schools (low-income, government, and NGO), and a youth volunteer network that sparks awareness and action. The concerts unite artists, philanthropists, and everyday folks in collective action proving music can move crowds and move the needle on social issues.
Ticket details are rolling out fast, HSBC credit cardholders get exclusive 48-hour early access from 12 pm on 27 February to 12 pm on 1 March, with 10 per cent off up to Rs 1,000. General sales kick off at 1 pm on 1 March. District app users can hit ‘Notify Me’ for real-time updates. Plus, snag flexible payments Buy Now, Pay Later with 50 per cent upfront and the rest by 20 March 2026.

LOS ANGELES: Eric Dane, best known for his roles in Grey’s Anatomy and Euphoria, has died aged 53, less than a year after revealing he had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a form of motor neurone disease.
Dane died on Thursday afternoon, after being diagnosed in April 2025. In a statement, his family said he spent his final days surrounded by close friends, his wife, the actor Rebecca Gayheart, and their two daughters.
Over the past decade, Dane was closely associated with two of television’s most recognisable characters. He played Dr Mark Sloan, nicknamed “McSteamy”, on Grey’s Anatomy, joining the series for a single episode before becoming a regular for six seasons. More recently, he appeared as Cal Jacobs in Euphoria, the troubled father of Jacob Elordi’s character Nate Jacobs.
Despite his illness, Dane continued working and completed filming for the upcoming third season of Euphoria, appearing in a wheelchair as his condition progressed. Speaking to People last year, he said he felt fortunate to remain active professionally while asking for privacy for his family.
ALS is a terminal degenerative disease that progressively impairs movement, speech and breathing. While there is no cure, progression varies widely among patients. In recent months, Dane emerged as a vocal advocate for awareness and research, using his diagnosis to highlight the condition’s impact.
Tributes followed swiftly from colleagues across the industry. Sam Levinson, creator of Euphoria, described Dane as both a gifted collaborator and a close friend, praising his warmth and generosity on and off set.
Born in San Francisco in 1972, Dane appeared in more than 140 episodes of Grey’s Anatomy between 2006 and 2021 and starred in films including X-Men: The Last Stand and Marley & Me. His death marks the loss of a familiar presence in American television, remembered as much for his resilience as for his performances.
