Nov. 20 2025, Published 4:20 p.m. ET Disturbing photos of the cast of Wicked have sparked major health concerns and fueled accusations of “competitive anorexia” running rampant on the hit film’s set, RadarOnline.com can reveal. While the cast has been busy promoting Wicked: For Good, which hits theaters on November 21, fans have struggled to buy into the excitement for the sequel due to stars Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Michelle Yeoh’s “sickly” appearances. Fans Raise Concerns About ‘Wicked’ Stars’ Weight Fans took to social media to share their concerns about Grande, Erivo, and Yeoh’s health while highlighting their weight loss in dramatic before-and-after photos. Commenters said the Wicked cast looked “emaciated” and pointed to their protruding bones and gaunt faces as alleged evidence something is wrong. “Guys, there’s no way to find this normal!” an X user wrote alongside a before-and-after photo of Yeoh. “Look at how Michelle was before that diabolical movie and look at how she is now (oh my god).” Another X user said the actresses reminded them of how their “dying grandma” looked when she “lost the ability to eat because of her ALS,” adding, “These people genuinely need help, they look like skeletons.” “Yeah, it’s honestly very concerning that the three female leads all had very healthy, strong figures before Wicked, and now all of them look like they weigh less than 100 pounds each… Like what is happening on those sets…” one user chimed in. “The cast of Wicked looks emaciated, and it’s very concerning. I hope someone steps in,” a second person wrote. “You can see their bones pushing against their skin. It looks really worrying, and them being put on a red carpet and stylized and everyone acting like it’s fine is freaking me out.” ‘Ally McBeal’ Comparisons Many comments echoed the sentiment about how the Wicked cast reminded them of tales from “toxic” shows and films in the 1990s and early aughts, particularly claims about hit TV show Ally McBeal. While promoting her 2010 memoir Unbearable Lightness, Portia de Rossi famously confessed her eating disorder skyrocketed while starring on Ally McBeal. In her book, she revealed her weight dropped to a shocking 82 pounds, prompting the beginning stages of organ failure. Later, her co-stars Courtney Thorne Smith and Calista Flockhart opened up on the pressure they felt to be skinny and extreme diets. Some suggested a similar confession about Wicked would surface in the future. “I feel like in 10 years we’re going to find out there was something insanely sinister going on on the set of Wicked,” one person said. “I haven’t seen a single cast member who looks like they have gotten healthier or happier through the course of filming.” Although some attempted to defend the cast and accuse critics of body shaming, they were quickly shut down as users overwhelmingly branded the actresses’ transformations “not normal.” “Call me crazy, but I don’t think it’s body shaming to genuinely wonder what’s going on and if they’re all ok,” an X user remarked as another added, “I’m so sick of people pretending that pointing out a dangerous trend is body shaming.”

EXCLUSIVE: How Folk Icon Joni Mitchell Revived Her Career Because ‘She Knows She Doesn’t Have Much Time Left’ — on Her 82nd Birthday
Nov. 7 2025, Published 6:26 p.m. ET Folk icon Joni Mitchell has embraced her golden years with a promise to give back to fans as “she knows she doesn’t have much time left,” RadarOnline.com can reveal. Mitchell, who turned 82 on November 7, delivered a memorable performance at the 2024 Grammy Awards – and insiders claimed she pushed herself to pull off the appearance as a farewell to fans. Joni’s ‘Farewell’ Performance While Mitchell took home a Grammy for Best Folk Album, the most memorable moment of the evening was when she took the stage with Brandi Carlisle to perform one of her biggest hits – and brought the house down. An insider said of the performance: “Joni knows she doesn’t have much time left, and she wanted to give her fans a last chance to see her singing one of her most significant songs.” It took a lot for Mitchell to even be able to make it to the music industry’s biggest night, let alone deliver an incredible performance. Mitchell has suffered several health crisis, beginning with a contracting Polio when she was nine-years-old. The illness left her with a permanent weakness in her left hand and leg. In 2015, she was struck with a crippling brain aneurysm that initially robbed her of the ability to walk and talk. With the help of ongoing and intense therapy, the singer-songwriter slowly relearned basic life skills in addition to teaching herself how to sing and play music again. Now, in her 80s, she’s battling a rare and taxing condition, Morgellons disease. Symptoms of Morgellons disease “include the feeling that fibers are emerging from the skin,” and those with the condition “often report feeling as if something is crawling on or stinging their skin,” according to the Mayo Clinic. The insider noted: “Joni is struggling in so many ways, she’s convinced her body will give out on her sooner than later.” Sources say the gutsy songbird chose the Grammys for her final act, not only because she won an award for her live album Joni Mitchell at Newport, but also because she’d never performed at the awards show before and knew she’d reach millions of fans. A source added: “This was Joni’s musical love letter to the world. And from the reaction she got, it’s clear the world is loving her back!” When Mitchell finished belting out Both Sides Now at the award show, the audience erupted in cheers and gave her a standing ovation. While it appeared the Grammys would be her last major performance, Mitchell stunned fans when she offered her talents to raise funds for victims of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. She sat in an ornate chair and tapped her cane on the floor as she delivered another rare and tear-jerking rendition of Both Sides Now with Blake Mills supporting on the guitar at the FireAid concert in January.

EXCLUSIVE: Dementia-stricken Wendy Williams Begging for a Met Gala Invite – but Anna Wintour Isn’t Letting That Happen Due to the TV Host’s Mental and Health Issues
**Wendy Williams Isn’t Just Back at Fashion Week – She’s Eyeing the Met Gala**
*Published Nov. 5, 2025, 8:00 a.m. ET*
Wendy Williams is making waves in the fashion world again. Not only has she returned to Fashion Week, but insiders reveal she’s also setting her sights on the Met Gala.
“Wendy wants to be invited to the ball so badly,” a fashion insider told RadarOnline.com. “She’s been front row at Dennis Basso and LaQuan Smith, trying to remind people she belongs.”
### Wendy’s Return to the Spotlight
Despite her efforts, sources say that Anna Wintour’s guest list remains a fortress that Williams has yet to crack, especially considering the health and mental challenges she faces.
“She’s seen as a risk,” one stylist reported. “Fashion Week will seat her. The Met Gala? Whole different planet.”
### Health Challenges and Career Impact
Loyal fans have witnessed Wendy Williams navigate significant personal and health struggles over the years. Her battle with Graves’ disease led to the cancellation of *The Wendy Williams Show* in 2022 after an impressive 13-season run.
That same year, a legal guardianship was put in place following her diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia and aphasia. Concerns first arose when her bank, Wells Fargo, attempted to contact her numerous times without success. As a result, they froze her accounts and filed the guardianship petition.
Despite these challenges, Wendy Williams continues to make her presence felt in the fashion scene, proving her resilience and determination to remain relevant.

‘Dying’ King Charles ‘Deeply Rattled’ by Public After Being Heckled Over Prince Andrew’s Connections to Sick Pedo Epstein
**King Charles Targeted Over Prince Andrew’s Epstein Ties in Lichfield Cathedral Incident**
*Updated: October 29, 2025, 2:09 p.m. ET*
King Charles was recently confronted by a heckler over his brother Prince Andrew’s connections to the disgraced sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, RadarOnline.com can report. The encounter reportedly left the 76-year-old monarch “furious and deeply rattled.”
The incident occurred as Charles was shaking hands and greeting supporters at Lichfield Cathedral in England. Amid the crowd, a man loudly accused the king of covering up for his younger brother, shouting questions such as, “How long have you known about Andrew and Epstein?” and “Have you asked the police to cover up for Andrew?”
King Charles did not respond to the accusations, and the heckler was quickly silenced by others nearby. Despite this, sources say the encounter “pierced the royal bubble,” leaving Charles visibly shaken.
> “Charles has spent his entire life preparing to be King – not to be heckled in the streets like a politician,” a source told Hollywood insider Rob Shuter, who covers royal affairs on Substack.
### Growing Concerns Over Public Backlash
Royal watchers have expressed worry that this may mark the beginning of increased public scrutiny targeting the Andrew-Epstein scandal. A senior courtier told Shuter,
> “(Charles) is terrified this is just the beginning. For decades, people shouted ‘God Save the King.’ Now they’re shouting about Andrew — and no one’s stopping them.”
This public confrontation comes as King Charles continues treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer and has been visibly weakened. Sources close to the palace reveal that the ongoing revelations about Prince Andrew’s continued ties to Jeffrey Epstein have left the King “utterly worn down.”
> “Just when he thinks the matter has settled, another revelation surfaces. It’s placing enormous strain on him. He’s doing his best to focus on his recovery and royal duties, but the constant stress is really affecting his health,” said an insider.
### The King’s Difficult Position
Though King Charles has long tried to quietly distance himself from his brother, the scandal surrounding Prince Andrew has intensified pressure on Buckingham Palace to take more definitive action against the Duke of York.
Andrew, now 65, was stripped of his military titles and patronages in 2022 and barred from using his HRH status. Following the latest Epstein-related revelations, he has had additional royal titles removed.
However, sources close to the palace say Charles feels trapped by the situation.
> “The King feels boxed in – he can’t simply cut his brother off, yet Andrew’s behavior keeps casting a shadow over everything he’s trying to restore within the monarchy,” one source explained.
### Prince William’s Harder Line Expected
Looking ahead, The Sunday Times reports that Prince William will take a much tougher stance toward his disgraced uncle when he ascends to the throne.
William, first in line to the crown, reportedly plans to ban Andrew from all aspects of royal life, including both public and private events.
> “He will be excluded from public and private royal events, including the coronation, and banned from most state occasions,” a source revealed.
The future king is said to view Prince Andrew as a “threat” and a “reputational risk to the monarchy.” He is also reportedly concerned about the message Andrew’s presence at royal events sends to victims of sexual abuse.
—
As the royal family continues to navigate this turbulent chapter, King Charles faces not only personal health challenges but also the ongoing fallout from his brother’s scandal — a burden that threatens to overshadow the monarchy’s efforts to maintain its integrity and public standing.

Lori Loughlin’s Desperate Attempt to Save Her Marriage — ‘Full House’ Star Quizzed Dancers at Husband Mossimo Giannulli’s Favorite Strip Club as Couple Quietly Struggled
**Lori Loughlin Desperately Fought to Save Marriage with Mossimo Giannulli, Even Questioning Exotic Dancers**
*Published Oct. 27, 2025, 1:30 p.m. ET*
Lori Loughlin reportedly fought desperately to save her nearly three-decade marriage with Mossimo Giannulli. Sources tell RadarOnline.com that the *Full House* star, 61, even went as far as questioning exotic dancers about her now-estranged husband’s behavior as their relationship hung by a thread.
### A Marriage Struggling Behind Closed Doors
According to insiders close to the couple, Loughlin and Giannulli’s marriage was struggling quietly for years—well before they became embroiled in the 2019 Varsity Blues college admissions scandal.
### Lori Loughlin’s Search for Answers
One family friend revealed that Loughlin took matters into her own hands by visiting a Los Angeles strip club her husband frequented, seeking answers about his actions. The source shared:
> “For years, Mossimo went to this club called Skin on Robertson Boulevard in LA. It was years ago, but Lori ended up going down there to talk to the women and find out what he was doing.”
They added,
> “She actually sat down with the strippers.”
### John Stamos Defends Lori Loughlin, Criticizes Mossimo Giannulli
Following recent news of the couple’s split last month after 28 years of marriage, Loughlin’s former on-screen husband John Stamos spoke out. Appearing on the *Good Guys* podcast with Josh Peck and Ben Soffer, Stamos expressed support for Loughlin and slammed Giannulli as a “terrible narcissist.”
Stamos said,
> “Whatever negativity or hardships that [Lori] has been through in her life is connected to this guy.”
He made his stance clear, adding,
> “I will never talk to him again.”
Another source close to the couple at the time of the college admissions scandal supported Stamos’ remarks, saying,
> “Everything that Stamos said is really telling.”
### The Varsity Blues Scandal and Its Impact
As previously reported, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli pled guilty to paying $500,000 to secure spots for their daughters, Isabella Rose, 27, and Olivia Jade, 26, at the University of Southern California. They created false athletic recruiting profiles for sports the girls never played.
Loughlin served two months in prison, paid a $150,000 fine, and completed 100 hours of community service.
A source noted the pressure the couple faced,
> “*Full House* and Hallmark money will get you only so far. There would have been pressure… to keep up with a particular lifestyle.”
### The Breaking Point
Though the 2019 scandal severely impacted their marriage, sources say Loughlin’s “tipping point” came after discovering incriminating text messages on Giannulli’s phone.
A friend explained,
> “Truly, the tipping point came when Lori found a bunch of text messages. Mossimo had used Lori for years. She was hoping maybe he would change when he got out of prison, but he got worse.”
The source concluded,
> “She wants to have nothing to do with him. She wants to get her life back.”

Meghan Markle Blasted as ‘Insufferable’ After Sharing Intimate Details about Her Daily Rituals — Including a ‘Healing Blanket’ and Listening to Music Every Morning
“Duchess Difficult” Meghan Markle Shares Her Serene Go-To Rituals for a Peaceful Home Life
Oct. 24, 2025, Published 2:00 p.m. ET – Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, 44, recently opened up about her peaceful daily rituals that help create a serene home environment. During an appearance at a bookstore near her Montecito, California home on Thursday, October 23, Markle shared intimate details about how she starts her day and maintains calm when traveling, revealing practices that fans have labeled “insufferable,” RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Soothing Music and Candles to Set the Tone
At Godmother’s Bookstore in nearby Summerland, Markle appeared alongside her college friend Courtney Adamo. The conversation centered on Adamo’s new book, The Family Home: Inspiring Ideas for a Home Filled with Joy.
“The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is turn the music on in the house,” the Suits alum shared. This morning ritual sets a calming tone for her children, Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, whom she shares with Prince Harry.
When traveling with her family, Markle ensures the ritual continues by bringing along speakers and a special item: a candle. “I always travel with a candle. I am so conscious and sensitive to fragrance, and I associate that with home,” she explained during the bookstore event, which was streamed on the store’s Substack channel.
“Healing Blanket” and Meaningful Conversations
Markle revealed another personal touch—a “healing blanket” she uses to comfort her children when they aren’t feeling well. The blanket was a gift from Victoria Jackson, a former QVC cosmetics mogul and co-owner of Godmother’s Bookstore.
She also described her practice of having “rose and thorn” conversations with her kids, encouraging them to share the highlights and low points of their day. This thoughtful approach aims to foster open communication beyond simple “yes” or “no” answers.
“Our daughter, she’s four and she’s a very strong personality and she’s incredible,” Markle gushed. “And now she’s in this moment where I say, ‘What’s your rose and your thorn?’ And she goes, ‘My day was just a blast.’”
Mixed Reactions from Royal Watchers
Not everyone was impressed by Markle’s home rituals. On X, one user called her “insufferable.” Another commented, “Rose & thorn? Healing blanket? This broad has never dealt with a child in her life!”
On Reddit, reactions ranged from dismissive to critical. One user wrote, “I can’t with this ridiculous drivel,” while another opined, “She’s just weird. Her ideas are weird. No one does this.”
Others pointed to Markle’s life changes since stepping back from royal duties with Harry in 2020, lamenting her transition “from castles and State visits to a dank dungeon of a bookstore.”
Career Pivots and Lifestyle Influencer Ambitions
Markle appears to be refocusing on her efforts to become a domestic influencer after recent appearances at Paris Fashion Week and a summit on powerful women in Washington, D.C.
During the bookstore event, she shared other unique lifestyle tips, such as greeting guests at her home while barefoot. “It demystifies. People walk in and go, ‘Oh, she’s in this with me,’” Markle said of the practice. “And what are they drawn to? Your kitchen. They come right in, and suddenly everyone’s a little bit softened.”
Markle has also explored lifestyle and cooking influence through her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Filmed in 2024, the show was released in two seasons, debuting in March and August. While Netflix has yet to announce a third season, a holiday special is slated to air on the streaming platform.

50 Cent goes at Kayla Nicole, says he’d attend Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce’s wedding
50 Cent has never been one to stay quiet, and his latest comments prove it. The rap icon recently spoke with ExtraTV about Taylor Swift mentioning him on her new album, *The Life of a Showgirl*, and made it clear he approves of her relationship with Travis Kelce, according to PEOPLE.
“I would make my way over there,” 50 Cent said with a grin when asked if he would attend Swift and Kelce’s wedding. “I like the team, you know, I like the whole thing.”
Swift’s track “Ruin the Friendship,” which dropped on October 3, features a line referencing a “50 Cent song” playing in the background of a moment she wished had gone differently. She sings, “Should’ve kissed you anyway, would’ve been the best mistake.”
When the album launched, 50 Cent celebrated the shoutout on Instagram, writing, “THIS IS FOR BIG TIMERS ONLY!” alongside the *Showgirl* album art.
### 50 Cent Praises Swift and Kelce, Shades Kayla Nicole
In his interview with Extra’s Mona Kosar Abdi, the *Get Rich or Die Tryin’* star explained that the lyric meant more than just a casual mention.
“It really is cool because when she makes the reference, if you listen to the song, it’s to what was going on in culture at that time,” he said. “The music, you couldn’t miss it. No one was more prominent in music at that point.”
50 Cent then gave Swift and Kelce his approval, stating, “I like it a lot better than the last thing he had going on. It’s a lot better.”
Though 50 never mentioned her name directly, fans quickly caught that the “last thing” referred to Kayla Nicole, Kelce’s ex-girlfriend of five years. Nicole and Kelce dated from 2017 to 2022, and her name has resurfaced frequently since Swift and Kelce began dating.
Despite the lingering attention, 50 made it clear he is a fan of the new couple.
### Would 50 Cent Collaborate with Taylor Swift?
When asked if he would ever collaborate with Swift, 50 Cent said the decision would depend on her.
“You’d have to ask her,” he explained. “If she had a song that made sense for my voice, I’d be open.”
It looks like even 50 Cent—known for his fearless takes and clever wordplay—is cheering on one of pop culture’s biggest love stories.

The Total Bellas alum revealed that one of her breast implants shifted after an elbow slam from fellow WWE star Piper Niven during a July 2025 wrestling match.
“It’s OK,” she told sister Bella Garcia at the time. “We’re going to get it fixed one day. I told the doctor, I go, ‘Newly divorced, so the minute the boots are hung up, I’m going to come back to you and we’re going to make these girls look real good, because these girls are going to get some action in the future and that can’t look like that.'”

The 12 Years a Slave star was diagnosed with uterine fibroids—non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus—in 2014, the same year she won an Oscar for her performance in the movie. However, it wasn’t until 2025 when she disclosed her diagnosis, writing on Instagram that she had been “suffering in silence” for more than a decade.

He noted that pain comes and goes, adding, “My body has all these things that are a little wonky and a little wrong with it.”
—
The Bachelor Nation alum shared that he went to the hospital “crawling on all fours” due to overwhelming back pain that was aggravated during an RV trip with a friend.
“Right now, knees to my toes, it’s, like, still tingly, which is crazy,” he said on a March 2025 episode of his *Trading Secrets* podcast.
“To put in perspective, I don’t know, man, like not to sound douchey, but like two, three weeks ago, maybe a month ago, I was squatting probably like 295 pounds. And right now, I can’t do a squat on my foot. I can’t do a one-legged squat, I fall. It’s like I had a stroke or something.”
But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

I was hit in 5 places, one was less than an inch from hitting me directly in my right eye.”
The *Kim Possible* alum continued, “Unfortunately a fragment got lodged behind my eye and it is too risky to remove surgically at this time. Doctors will continue to monitor me.”

In June 2022, the “Baby” singer shared he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a condition that caused temporary paralysis to parts of his face and forced him to cancel the remainder of his Justice World Tour.
“It is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis,” Justin explained in an Instagram video at the time.
“As you can see, this eye is not blinking. I can’t smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move. So, there’s full paralysis on this side of my face.”
In fact, he told his followers it had gotten “progressively harder to eat.” But after a while, the paralysis went away.
“He’s doing really well,” Hailey said on a June 2022 episode of *Good Morning America,* later adding, “He’s feeling a lot better. Obviously, it was just a very scary and random situation to happen, but he’s going to be totally OK and I’m just grateful that he’s fine.”

While Jamie Foxx initially kept details of his April 2023 hospitalization private, he later opened up about what he went through.
One day in Atlanta, “I was having such a bad headache, so I asked my boy, I said, ‘Listen, I need an aspirin,’” the Oscar winner said in his 2024 Netflix special *What Had Happened Was.*
“Before I could get the Aspirin, I went out. I don’t remember 20 days.”
Jamie said he was initially taken to a doctor who gave him a cortisone shot and then sent him home. However, his concerned sister Deidra Dixon then drove him to a hospital, where they got an answer: He had a brain bleed that led to a stroke.
Twenty days after undergoing an operation, the *Django Unchained* star woke up May 4 in a wheelchair and couldn’t walk. He then went to Chicago for rehabilitation and therapy.

“I don’t remember a lot,” she explained on *Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser.*
“I remember hearing the helicopter. I just felt like I was floating. And then my grandpa was there. And then I saw darkness. But then I saw light. So I knew, I knew I died that day.”

Emilia Clarke filmed battle scenes for *Game of Thrones,* but in 2019, she published an essay in *The New Yorker* titled “A Battle for My Life.”
Having a bad headache at the gym, “I reached the toilet, sank to my knees, and proceeded to be violently, voluminously ill,” the actress wrote. “Meanwhile, the pain—shooting, stabbing, constricting pain—was getting worse. At some level, I knew what was happening: my brain was damaged.”
She was taken to the hospital for a brain scan. “The diagnosis was quick and ominous: a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a life-threatening type of stroke, caused by bleeding into the space surrounding the brain,” the Emmy nominee added. “I’d had an aneurysm, an arterial rupture.”
Emilia had immediate surgery to seal the aneurysm, calling the pain “unbearable.” While she was recovering, she continued, she experienced aphasia and was “muttering nonsense.” A week later, “the aphasia passed,” Emilia added, and she left the hospital a month after being admitted.
At a 2013 brain scan, she learned a growth “doubled in size” and that she needed surgery again.
“When they woke me, I was screaming in pain,” she wrote. “The procedure had failed. I had a massive bleed and the doctors made it plain that my chances of surviving were precarious if they didn’t operate again. This time they needed to access my brain in the old-fashioned way—through my skull.”
Thankfully, Emilia shared, she’s now “at a hundred per cent.”

Snoop Dogg’s daughter Cori Broadus is grateful for her family. After she suffered a “severe stroke” in January 2024, her loved ones rushed to be by her side.
“I texted them that I just had a stroke and sent them a picture,” she told *E! News* correspondent Will Marfuggi in December 2024. “Everybody just came to my rescue.”
Because of other medical concerns, Cori ended up staying in the hospital longer than she initially expected.
“I could have went home after my stroke, but my lupus wasn’t doing so well,” the *Snoop’s Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne’s Story* star continued. “My kidneys were failing. It was a lot going on.”
Today, Cori is on the mend.
“I’m doing great,” she added. “I just had a little bit of motor skills that I had to work back on. But other than that, I was fine.”

Shailene Woodley’s early 20s were not an easy time health-wise.
“It got to the point where I was losing my hearing. I couldn’t walk for longer than five minutes at a time without having to lay down for hours, and hours and sleep. Everything I ate hurt my stomach,” the actress said on a September 2024 episode of the *SHE MD Podcast.*
“It was this conflation of issues and diagnoses and different doctors telling me different things.”
So Shailene—who chose to keep the exact condition private—set out to find answers.
“I come from a very holistic background and study herbalism,” she added. “So I was very keen on, ‘I’m going to work with real MDs, [and] I’m also going to work with independent kind of healers.’ Just trying to search for some sense of comfort in my own skin.”
It was a long journey—one that lasted for 10 years.
“Throughout that decade, a lot of other things came from feeling so much discomfort physically,” the *Big Little Lies* star noted, “which was, ‘My gosh, if everything I eat hurts my stomach, I’m now suddenly afraid of food.’ And then going into the kind of mental f–ckery that can happen with that of body dysmorphia and confusion about identity and feeling safe in my own capsule, in my own skin, what that meant, and what that should be.”
After tending to both her physical and mental health, Shailene is feeling much better.
“It was a journey that ultimately physically resolved itself, and I am very healthy,” she shared. “I’m so happy to be able to say that.”

Following yesterday’s buzz generated by a teaser featuring Tulsi (Smriti Irani) on a mysterious video call, the channel has now unveiled the sequence, putting all speculation to rest.
**CONFIRMED!**
Reportedly, Gates will offer guidance to Tulsi on balancing family responsibilities while taking care of herself—a crossover moment that is unprecedented in Indian television.
Speaking about the special sequence, producer Ektaa Kapoor shared,
“THE BEST PART WAS WRITING. The absolute delightful JAI SHREE KRISHNA said so sweetly by @thisisbillgates.”
Fans across social media have also expressed their excitement. One fan wrote, “What a power move! Now that’s a crossover no one saw coming. Awesome!” Another commented, “Don’t know why I feel so happy and proud to see this,” while another quipped, “We got Bill Gates on Indian television daily soap before GTA 6.”
Ayyaz Ahmed humorously added, “Bill Gates ka sapna poora hone jaa raha hai… he always wanted to play Mihir Virani.”
This sequence marks Bill Gates’ first appearance on Indian television and his second-ever television cameo after *The Big Bang Theory*. With the teaser now out, anticipation for the upcoming episodes has reached fever pitch.
*Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi* airs every Thursday and Friday at 10:30 PM on Star Plus.
