SARPANCH SAHAB : The Shining Star Of WAVES OTT, Holding The #1 Spot For Two Straight Months

When Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated India’s first-of-its-kind global audio-visual and entertainment summit – WAVES 2025 – at Mumbai’s Jio World Centre, many wondered whether WAVES could stand up to the giants of the OTT industry. Today, the answer is a resounding yes. At the forefront of WAVES OTT’s success is writer-director Shahid Khan’s web series ‘Sarpanch Sahab’, which has single-handedly challenged many big-ticket shows across leading OTT platforms.

Released on 30th April 2025, this seven-episode political drama series has maintained the #1 trending position on WAVES OTT for two consecutive months. A powerful portrayal of rural politics, social change, and youthful aspirations, Sarpanch Sahab resonates so deeply that it has even outshined popular rural-themed shows like Panchayat and Dupahiya.

This isn’t just another village tale – it’s a gripping narrative packed with meaningful entertainment and a strong social message. Let’s dive into why Sarpanch Sahab is on everyone’s lips:

A Compelling Storyline

This is not merely a political tale, but a vivid depiction of village life, the desire for transformation, and the soaring dreams of its youth.

Shahid Khan, in his directorial debut, has crafted a masterpiece that rivals even the work of seasoned filmmakers. Not only did he direct the series, but he also wrote the story, screenplay, and dialogues himself. His writing captures both the earthy fragrance of rural life and the harsh realities of corruption. Each frame reflects his clear vision and storytelling prowess.

From witty lines like Lathhan’s humorous quips to emotionally stirring moments like Sanju’s passionate pursuit of change – the series strikes a perfect balance between humor and intensity.

Blend of Humor and Emotion

The clever dialogues and emotional depth ensure the story remains engaging and never feels heavy.

Authentic Rural Reality

The series presents rural India so realistically that every viewer finds a personal connection to it.

A Stellar Cast

Casting Director Sabir Ali deserves applause for assembling a team that breathes life into every character. These actors don’t play villagers – they become them.

Vineet Kumar (Mahendra Singh) – A powerful portrayal of power and manipulation, his eyes speak the language of politics.

Pankaj Jha – Seen in a more light-hearted role, a refreshing shift that audiences loved.

Sunita Rajwar (Bhuri) – A strong female figure, her performance leaves a lasting impact.

Anuj Singh Dhaka (Sanju) – A brilliant mix of innocence and rebellion, symbolizing youthful energy.

Yukti Kapoor – An inspiring portrayal of female participation in politics.

Neeraj Sood – As an honest teacher, his understated yet powerful role hits the mark.

Vijay Pandey (Lathhan) – Brought in moments of humor that added not levity, but depth to the narrative.

Accessible for All

Sarpanch Sahab is streaming free of cost on WAVES OTT, making it accessible to everyone.

More Than a Web Series – A Cultural Movement

Sarpanch Sahab isn’t just a show. It’s a living document of rural India’s politics, dreams, and transformation. With stellar direction, writing, and performances, it stands as a landmark creation. The series’ #1 trending spot for two months straight on WAVES OTT is a testimony to its massive popularity.

हिंदी फिल्म “टेक इट ईज़ी” 27 जून को सिनेमाघरों में होगी रिलीज

स्पेशल किड्स को लेकर बनी ये फिल्म समाज को एक बेहद महत्वपूर्ण संदेश देती है. बच्चों पर माता पिता के दबाव के कारण क्या असर पड़ता है, इसी विषय पर आधारित निर्माता धर्मेश पंडित की फ़िल्म “टेक इट ईज़ी” अगले सप्ताह 27 जून को रिलीज के लिए तैयार है. 27 जून 2025 को, सोनाक्षी सिन्हा की फिल्म “निकिता रॉय” और काजोल की फिल्म “मां” भी सिनेमाघरों में रिलीज होंगी.

विक्रम गोखले, दीपान्निता शर्मा, राज जुत्शी, अनंग देसाई जैसे मशहूर कलाकारों से सजी फ़िल्म “टेक इट ईज़ी” को कई फ़िल्म फेस्टिवल्स में अवार्ड्स और नॉमिनेशन मिले हैं। ग्वालियर के फ़िल्म फेस्टिवल में टेक इट ईज़ी ने बेस्ट चिल्ड्रन फ़िल्म का अवार्ड जीता है जबकि जयपुर इंटरनेशनल फ़िल्म फेस्टिवल में भी इस फ़िल्म को सर्वश्रेष्ठ फ़िल्म की कैटगरी में नॉमिनेट किया गया. ओशो की किताब “शिक्षा से क्रांति” से प्रेरित होकर धर्मेश पंडित ने फ़िल्म टेक इट ईज़ी की कहानी लिखी है.

प्रोड्यूसर धर्मेश पंडित का मानना है कि स्कूलों के बच्चों के मासूम कंधों पर किताबों का इतना ज्यादा वजन डाल दिया गया है। उन्हें अपने माता पिता की उम्मीदों का भार भी उठाना पड़ता है. मुकाबले के इस दौर में ईच्छा रखते हैं कि उनका बच्चा स्कूल में पढ़ाई का मामला हो या खेल कूद का क्षेत्र हो नंबर वन ही आए। सोसाईटी मे कंपटीशन का ऐसा वातावरण बना दिया गया है कि बच्चे को कुछ बनाने की जैसे होड़ मची हुई है। बच्चों के दिल दिमाग पर इसका बहुत गहरा दबाव पड़ता है. इन दिनों बच्चे भी जीवन को लेकर कभी कभी खतरनाक कदम उठा लेते हैं। फिल्म ‘टेक इट ईज़ी’ एक आंख खोलने वाला सिनेमा है जो बच्चों के साथ उनके मां बाप को भी देखना चाहिए।

इस फ़िल्म के कुछ दृश्य दर्शकों को भावनात्मक कर देने वाले हैं। फिल्म के सभी कलाकारों ने शानदार अभिनय किया है। फ़िल्म ‘टेक इट ईज़ी’ के माध्यम से निर्माता ने एक प्रभावी संदेश समाज को बच्चों को और अभिभावकों को दिया है और फिल्म में उसे बेहतर ढंग से प्रस्तुत किया गया है।

उल्लेखनीय है कि धर्मेश पंडित को दादा साहेब फाल्के फ़िल्म फाउंडेशन अवार्ड 2024 से सम्मानित किया गया था. इस फ़िल्म मे एक गीत सोनू निगम ने गाया है। फ़िल्म का संगीत ज़ी म्युज़िक ने जारी किया है। हिंदी और साउथ की लैंगुएज के साथ यह फ़िल्म 10 भाषाओं में डब की गई है।

फिल्म की कहानी दो बच्चों के बारे में है। एक बच्चे का पिता खिलाड़ी रह चुका है इसलिए वह अपने बेटे को भी प्लेयर बनाना चाहता है, जबकि बच्चे की रुचि पढ़ाई में है। दूसरे बच्चे के पिता की ख्वाहिश है कि उसका पुत्र खूब पढ़े लिखे, मगर बच्चे को कुछ और पसन्द है। मातापिता कैसे बच्चों के जरिए अपने ख्वाबो को पूरा करना चाहते हैं। इस फ़िल्म की कहानी का पॉइंट यह है. मगर इसके साथ ही कई और मुद्दों को भी इस कहानी में पिरोने का प्रयास किया है। किस प्रकार आजकल स्कूलों में एडमिशन और दूसरी बातों को लेकर स्कूल मैनेजमेंट की हरकतें होती हैं, भारी फीस वाली इंग्लिश मीडियम स्कूलों में  मातापिता अपने बच्चों को प्रवेश दिलाना चाहते हैं। इन सब बातों को भी इसमें दिखाया गया है।

बच्चों की पढ़ाई के मुद्दे पर और उनके ऊपर डाले गए पढ़ाई का प्रेशर और उससे वह किस तरह से बाहर निकलते हैं इस कहानी के आधारित हिंदी फिल्म “टेक इट इजी” 27 जून को नजदीकी सिनेमाघर में रिलीज हो रही है

What Alimony? Samantha Ruth Prabhu Walked Away With Her Dignity, Not ₹200 Crore

What Alimony? Samantha Ruth Prabhu Walked Away With Her Dignity, Not ₹200 Crore

In a world where celebrity splits often become tabloid feasts, one story has remained stubbornly persistent—claims that actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu demanded a ₹200 crore alimony from her former husband, actor Naga Chaitanya. But insiders close to the couple now confirm what many hoped was true all along: the rumor was entirely false.

There was no alimony. There was no legal battle over money. There was only silence, mutual respect, and the difficult decision to part ways.

Their joint statement in 2021 called the separation “mutual.” But as is often the case, silence bred speculation. In the weeks that followed, social media threads and gossip columns fixated on a staggering sum—a ₹200 crore alimony figure, as if healing came with a price tag.

But the truth, it seems, is far more grounded. Samantha refused financial support. She didn’t want a penny. “All she took with her was her dignity,” said a source close to the actress. “It was never about money. It was about peace of mind, and moving forward with grace.”

The narrative of alimony unfortunately became a stick to beat her with. In a society where women are still judged for choosing independence over compromise, the fabricated figure painted her as materialistic. What it actually masked was courage—courage to walk away from a public relationship, knowing full well the whispers that would follow.

What made the situation harder was the timing. As Samantha focused on her career—rebuilding herself, one role at a time—her past kept resurfacing in distorted forms. Her name was pulled into unrelated controversies. She was questioned, doubted, dissected. Yet, through it all, she never retaliated. She simply worked.

In parallel, Naga Chaitanya too chose silence. He later found companionship with actor Sobhita Dhulipala, well after the legal formalities of the separation were complete. By all accounts, their marriage had ended before either sought new beginnings.

The real story, perhaps, is not about who said what, or who moved on faster. It’s about two people choosing dignity over drama. Samantha never asked for ₹200 crore. But in choosing herself, she may have gained something far more valuable.
