2020 has been a roller coaster ride for everyone. The coronavirus pandemic set the whole world on pause mode. We all had to be locked inside our homes to remain safe. The entertainment industry also came to a stop and we could not see our favourite TV shows and movies for a long time. However, during those times, older movies and TV shows came to our rescue. A lot of celebrities passed away this year, too, making it a dark year for the TV and Bollywood both. However, we did have a few good things to cheer about. So, as 2020 is ending, we are here to give you guys a recap of all that shocked and surprised us from the TV industry. Take a look at the top twelve TV Newsmakers of the year below:
NCB drug probe
Sushant Singh Rajput passed away on June 14, 2020. He had committed suicide by hanging himself in his Bandra flat. His demise was a huge shock for everyone and it also became a big controversy. We saw many claiming that Sushant did not commit suicide, but was murdered. People demanded an investigation in the case and soon, the CBI took over. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NBC)'s investigation involved saw many big stars and other popular names being interrogated. After Bollywood, TV celebs were also brought in, with Anuj Keshwani, one of the peddlers, revealing links to TV actors Sanam Johar and Abigail Pande. The NCB raided Abigail's Juhu residence and found some quantity of charas. Other drugs were also reportedly found. Abigail Pande was also a friend of late Sushant Singh Rajput. As per reports on Republic TV, she had named Sara Khan and Angad Hasija as others who allegedly purchased and peddled drugs. However, it was later revealed that Sara and Angad's names were not taken by Abigail or Sanam. Post that, Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in the drug case. They were sent to judicial custody till December 4 by a magistrate court on Sunday after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) seized 86.5 gm of ganja (Cannabis) at their production office and residence. The NCB, in a press release, had revealed that Bharti and Haarsh accepted the consumption of ganja. They were later granted bail.
Krushna Abhishek and Govinda's public spat
Krushna Abhishek and mama Govinda's fights have not ended. Recently, Krushna Abhishek did not appear on an episode of The Kapil Sharma Show and the reason behind his absence was said to be his fallout with Govinda, who came as a guest. We have often seen Krushna using mama-bhanja joke in his gigs to tickle the funny bone of the audience. When it comes to facing his Chichi mama, Krushna appears to be maintaining a distance. He had said that despite the immense amount of love, the rift between them has widened a lot. Govind also opened up about the differences between him and Krushna. He said, "I feel that washing dirty linen in public is an indication of insecurity and allows outsiders to take advantage of misunderstandings in a family."
Nora Fatehi and Terence Lewis' morphed video
India's Best Dancer judge Terence Lewis found himself in the middle of a controversy this year when a morphed video of him started doing the rounds. In the video, we could see him touching the butt of his fellow judge and dancer, Nora Fatehi. People were quick to slam him, but Nora Fatehi came to his rescue, saying that it was a morphed video and nothing of the sort had transpired.
Nia Sharma's penis-shaped cake
Nia Sharma celebrated her birthday on September 17 by cutting approximately 18 cakes. She also had a separate party at night on the same day with her friends, Arjun Bijlani, Reyhna Pandit and others.

Shehnaaz Gill and her father, Santokh Singh Sukh
There were reports that Shehnaaz Gill's father, Santokh Singh Sukh was accused of sexual assault by a woman from Jalandhar. As per Dainik Bhaskar, the woman, 40, went to his residence with a female friend. She had a fight with one Lucky Sandhu, who was apparently staying with Santokh Singh Sukh at his residence in Beas City, Amritsar. It seems Santokh was waiting for her outside his residence and told her to get into his car on the pretext of taking her to Lucky. She alleged that he then raped her at gunpoint near Rohi Bridge. The victim registered a complaint three days after the alleged crime. Santokh Singh Sukh had said that he did not leave his residence on said date. He has said that she came to his place with a couple of women, but he told her to resolve the matter personally with Lucky as they were in a relationship. Lucky Sandhu is apparently married with a child. Santokh Singh Sukh put out a statement on Instagram saying he is innocent. He also told people not to target his kids, Shehnaaz and Shehbaz. After this, Santokh Singh Sukh also got into an argument with his daughter, Shehnaaz Gill. Shehnaaz had recently visited Punjab for a shoot. It was after two years that she visited her hometown and a lot of her fans were excited to meet her. However, she had decided not to meet them, which left them disappointed. Even her father was very angry with her. He had said that he will never ever talk to her again and that she has now developed an attitude.
