Dramarookies09. The King: Eternal MonarchShows involving time travel are always tricky to pull off correctly. From plot holes and convoluted lore to stories rife for contrivances and confusion, The King: Eternal Monarch begins with a fair amount of confusion before righting itself and becoming something wholly engrossing and highly enjoyable. Between parallel worlds and a love story anchoring everything together, this hugely popular Korean drama is helped by a returning K-Drama Royalty Lee Min-Ho who fronts this sci-fi series and helps add a lot of charisma.

Gaana Live EntertainmentAhana Deol : अहाना देओल फिर से माँ बनी है, जुड़वा बच्चों का स्वागत कियाAhana Deol फिर से माँ बनी है! धर्मेंद्र और हेमा मालिनी से जन्मी अहाना ने अब अपने जीवन में जुड़वा बच्चों का स्वागत किया है। उसने इंस्टाग्राम पर बताया और रोमांचक समाचार साझा किया, साथ ही यह भी पोस्ट किया कि नाना नानी ने कैसे प्रतिक्रिया दी।
हाल ही में एक बेबी बॉय दारियन वोहरा को अहाना ने जन्म दिया और अब अपने घर में दो लड़कियों का स्वागत किया। उसने उनका नाम भी बताया - अस्त्रिया वोहरा और आदिया वोहरा।
गुलाबी बैकग्राउंड के साथ समाचार पोस्ट करते हुए, उन्होंने लिखा, "हम अपनी जुड़वाँ लड़कियों, अस्त्रिया वोहरा और आदिया वोहरा के आगमन की घोषणा करने के लिए धन्य हैं। 26 नवंबर 2020 को जन्मे। गर्वित माता-पिता अहाना और वैभव वोहरा। उत्साहित भाई दारियन वोहरा। दादा-दादी पुष्पा और विपिन वोहरा, नाना नानी हेमा मालिनी और धर्मेंद्र देओल। "
सह-संयोग से अहाना की बड़ी बहन ईशा देओल को भी दो बेटियों का आशीर्वाद मिला था। एशा और भरत तख्तानी ने उनका नाम राध्या तख्तानी और मिराया तख्तानी रखा था।
दूसरी ओर, अहाना ने 2014 में वैभव वोहरा से शादी की और 2015 में डारियन का स्वागत किया। मिराया का जन्म परिवार में आखिरी बार हुआ था, जब तक कि जुड़वां बच्चे नहीं आ गए। उसकी कल्पना जून 2019 को की गई थी। हेमा मालिनी के चित्र उसके पोते और मिराया को देने वाले डॉक्टर के साथ वायरल हुए थे।
काम की बात करें तो, जबकि ईशा देओल अपने माता-पिता की तरह ही एक अभिनेता थीं, अहाना ने सुर्खियों से दूर रहना पसंद किया। हालांकि वह 2009 में रिलीज़ हुई फ़िल्म 'गुजारिश' में संजय लीला भंसाली की मदद कर रहे थे, जिसमें ऋतिक रोशन और ऐश्वर्या राय बच्चन मुख्य भूमिकाओं में थे।

Dramarookies08. World Of MarriedThe World of the Married took K-Dramaland by storm becoming one of the most talked about dramas of 2020, overtaking JTBC’s Sky Castle on digital mentions and cable viewership ratings. Based on the British series Doctor Foster- A Woman Scorned by Mike Bartlett, the drama sometimes confounding; other times it was saddening and there were times when it was extremely frustrating. Nonetheless, it was a highly satisfactory watch and worth all the attention. Starring Kim Hee Ae, Park Hae Joon and Han Seo Hee in lead roles. If you’re looking for a modern Makjang this is it.
