Vicky Kaushal

Disney+ Hotstar’s Taaza Khabar (transl. Fresh News ) poses this tantalizing question and then answers it with a gritty, tragicomic punch. Starring the ever-charismatic (no, not that one—the other supremely talented one: Bhuvan Bam ), this web series is not your run-of-the-mill "rags to riches" fantasy. It is a sharply written, darkly humorous fable about the price of power, the ghosts of poverty, and the haunting truth that sometimes, getting everything you want is the worst thing that can happen to you.
