Needless to say, Telly Town has had its shares of ups and downs. Today, as the week comes to an end, here are the top 5 news stories that grabbed our eyeballs and made headlines throughout the week.

1) Erica Fernandes opens up about her engagement rumours

When I’m with you , i act different , in a good way ofcourse. I always smile more ☺️, i always laugh more With you i can drop the fake smile (if any) and put on a real one . I don’t feel hurt or alone when I’m with you instead i feel safe and loved You’re easy to talk to and you listen to me . I don’t feel sad around you and you show me that you really do care in-fact i can see that you’re not pretending. I really appreciate what you’ve done and continue to do .coz with you I’m different I’m happy #us p.s :- if thats what your thinking then Nah not engaged .

On 13th January, Kasautii Zindagii Kay star Erica Fernandes shared an adorable picture on Instagram, wherein she is seen flaunting a ring on her finger along with a love-filled caption. Well, as soon as Erica posted this photo, it went spread like wildfire. Everyone was taken aback by the surprise and started making various speculations. While some thought she has found the love of her life, others went up to speculate that she is trying to make an indirect announcement exchanging engagement rings. While everyone has their theories about the post, Erica herself came out to clear the air. Erica said, 'When I put up the post, I didn't think too much as honestly, this was just a general post about my personal life and space. A lot of people think I am very secretive in certain aspects, but that is not true, as I prefer being more private about my personal life. So today I just thought of opening up a bit more to people so that they can know a little more information about my own space, but again not too much! So, for now, this small sneak peek is more than enough from my side.'
