Ashay Sewlall, 24, from Richards Bay, is making a name for himself in Big Brother Mzansi Season 6. He brings with him a unique mix of experiences: professional football, endurance running, and content creation. Unlike many reality TV contestants, his story is rooted in discipline and perseverance rather than drama.
Sewlall played for Richards Bay FC between 2020 and 2024, where daily routines revolved around training, match performance, and teamwork. He has spoken openly about the challenges of pursuing a football career, describing the experience as a test of patience and resilience.

In 2025, he ran the Comrades Marathon, seeing it not as a race but as a personal challenge. It pushed his limits physically and mentally, while giving him a fresh perspective on his football career.
Fans quickly noticed his approach to Big Brother Mzansi. In his entry video and early interactions, Sewlall shows energy and confidence without overplaying his personality. He observes carefully, chooses when to speak, and navigates social dynamics with thoughtfulness, a strategy that sets him apart from more theatrical contestants.
He is also active on social media, engaging thousands of followers with fitness content, dance videos, and bilingual communication in English and isiZulu. His nickname, “Paprika,” emerged from his introduction video and has become widely recognized online.

Sewlall is reported to be the first contestant of Indian descent on the show. This adds an important layer to his presence, highlighting diversity in reality television and giving viewers a new perspective on the show’s audience and culture.
Inside the house, his focus is clear: stay grounded, pace himself, and reveal aspects of his personality selectively. He has said that while he values connection, he doesn’t plan to show all sides immediately, indicating a measured, strategic approach.

Unlike many contestants who fit predictable roles, Sewlall brings a combination of focus, adaptability, and calm confidence. He leverages his athletic background and public experience to navigate the pressures of reality TV without becoming one-dimensional.
As the season progresses, viewers will watch not just whether he lasts in the game, but how his disciplined, strategic approach shapes the competition. Ashay Sewlall may well redefine what it means to be a standout contestant in Big Brother Mzansi.

“Normani’s label best stop sleeping on her. Motivation was amazing and this girl is an amazing performer. Promote that girl darlings! Gorgeous, sexy, so good. A modern day Ciara, Aaliyah, Janet hybrid. We see you girl”

“Aaliyah would be Proud of Normani after the Sample of “One in a Million” Her first hit Song since Motivation in 2019″

“Normani is totally next level in a young Britney Spears sense: she’s a gifted vocalist and even better gymnast, the energetic essence of ’90s and Y2K vigor absent from today’s bracket of new pop artists.” Over the last year or so, a lot of people have proposed that Normani is the next Beyoncé. I kindly call bullshit on this one. (Sure, my good sis is a magnificent performer, and could likely keep up just fine with any of Queen Bey’s dance breaks — but she doesn’t have the kind of awe-inspiring, inborn vocal ability that largely defines Beyoncé’s oeuvre.) Yet, I do believe Normani is totally next level in a young Britney Spears sense: she’s a gifted vocalist and even better gymnast, the energetic essence of ’90s and Y2K vigor absent from today’s bracket of new pop artists. On a playing field where TikTok-ready movement overshadows the spirit of old-skool athleticism, the closest things to inspiring or challenging choreography in pop music right now are performances by the likes of Mabel or Dua Lipa, lovely chart-topping singers who can bop and dance just fine — but are not dancers. On the other hand, Normani’s talent is both sonic and matchlessly visual; she could, and should, be in a lane of her own.”

“I haven’t learned anybody’s choreo in years but I will learn this. Great job Normani and team”

“She is a beautiful, black, natural, & talented sista! Reminds me so much of Ciara.”

and more…

People talks for us and we follow people cause people make artist to be proud of their work and that us medias we give us the best of entertainment.

We are so proud of Normani and this amazing job.

A documentary following Madonna‘s Madame X tour will be available to stream on Paramount+ on Friday, October 8, the streaming service announced on Thursday (July 15).

The film was shot at a concert in Lisbon, Portugal, as Madonna embodied her Madame X persona, a globetrotting secret agent complete with an eyepatch. The Queen of Pop posted a video of her smoking a cigarette and holding a wine glass, lip-syncing to “Killers Who Are Partying,” a track from her 2019 Madame X album, on Instagram four days ahead of the announcement.

“Sharing my vision with global audiences has been profoundly meaningful to me. The opportunity to bring its message and the incandescent artistry of all involved to an even wider audience comes at a time when music is so deeply needed to remind us of the sacred bond of our shared humanity,” Madonna said in a statement.

Madame X comes from MTV Entertainment Studios and is directed by Ricardo Gomes and SKNX. Jamie King serves as creative producer and Megan Lawson as co-director and lead choreographer.
