<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At a time when cinema is largely driven by star power, spectacle and commercial formulas, Omlo arrives as a sincere and emotionally engaging film that chooses substance over noise. Writer-director Sonu Randeep Choudhary presents a story that beautifully blends social reality with Rajasthan’s cultural richness while exploring themes of inherited pain, family struggles and hope.</p>
<h2>Story:</h2>
<p>Set in a remote desert village of Rajasthan, the story follows Savitri, a daily wage worker struggling to survive while carrying the burden of responsibilities on her shoulders. The opening itself immediately places viewers into her difficult world.</p>
<p>Running parallel to this is a striking visual of a camel being set free in the open desert. Though the ropes are removed, the animal appears hesitant and uncertain. The moment quietly mirrors the emotional condition of the characters and becomes one of the film’s most symbolic visuals.</p>
<p>As Savitri reaches home, she discovers that her father-in-law has passed away, and the narrative gradually opens deeper emotional layers. Poverty, family pressure, addiction and silent suffering become part of a story that unfolds with sensitivity.</p>
<p>At the center of it all stands young Omlo, silently observing everything around him. Through his innocent eyes, the film raises larger questions about emotional wounds and social realities.</p>
<h2>Direction</h2>
<p>Sonu Randeep Choudhary demonstrates maturity in both storytelling and direction. He avoids exaggerated emotions and trusts the strength of simple moments, allowing scenes to connect naturally with the audience.</p>
<p>The film’s biggest achievement lies in the way Rajasthan’s culture and legacy become a living part of the storytelling. The dialect, customs, village atmosphere and local emotions do not feel inserted for effect; instead they become an essential heartbeat of the narrative.</p>
<p>The storytelling remains restrained yet impactful, making the emotional journey feel genuine and relatable.</p>
<h2>Performances</h2>
<p>Shambho Mahajan delivers a memorable performance as Omlo. His innocence and subtle expressions become some of the film’s strongest emotional moments.</p>
<p>Sonali Sharmishtha performs with honesty and emotional depth as Savitri, making her struggle feel authentic.</p>
<p>Sonu Randeep Choudhary naturally fits into his character and further strengthens the realism of the narrative.</p>
<p>Vandana Gupta, Deva Sharma and Mahesh Jilowa provide strong support and contribute effectively to the emotional world of the film.</p>
<h2>Music and Technical Aspects:</h2>
<p>National Award-winning musicians Ghazi Khan Barna and Bhuvan Ahuja deliver music that quietly supports the emotional storytelling. Devendra Bhome's background score further enhances important scenes.</p>
<p>Real locations in Shri Dungargarh and Bikaner add tremendous authenticity. Cinematographer Wilson Rabinse captures Rajasthan’s beauty and village life with visual honesty.</p>
<h2>Final Verdict:</h2>
<p>Omlo succeeds because it does not rely on dramatic highs or loud storytelling. Instead, it uses emotional truth and cultural depth to make its impact.</p>
<p>With Sonu Randeep Choudhary’s grounded direction and the film’s beautiful celebration of Rajasthan’s legacy, Omlo becomes much more than a social drama. It becomes a heartfelt experience about pain, resilience and hope.</p>
<p>If you enjoy meaningful cinema with strong storytelling and cultural roots, Omlo deserves a place on your watchlist.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><strong>Mumbai</strong>: Sunpure, a trusted name in Indian kitchens, has marked its remarkable 30-year journey by launching an emotional multimedia brand campaign. The campaign, conceptualised by MK Agrotech — the flagship company of the Masoom Group — features Kannada superstar Kichcha Sudeep and National Award-winning actress Priyamani as the face of the brand.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Titled around the heartfelt tagline “Sunpure Ellide, Santhosha Allide” (translated as “Where there is Sunpure, there is happiness”), the campaign beautifully captures themes of family, taste, and togetherness. It portrays Sunpure not merely as a cooking oil but as a trusted companion that has been part of millions of households for three decades, creating moments of joy through everyday meals.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Alongside the campaign launch, Sunpure has introduced its new product — Sunpure Champion Refined Canola Oil. This healthier cooking oil is enriched with MUFA and Omega-3, specifically designed to meet the needs of health-conscious consumers who seek both taste and wellness in their daily cooking.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Mannan Khan, Director, Masoom Group, expressed pride in the milestone, stating, “Sunpure’s 30-year journey is a matter of great pride for us. This campaign celebrates the trust and emotional bond we have built with millions of families who have placed their faith in us over the years.”</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Farah Khan, Director, Masoom Group, further elaborated on the campaign’s essence, saying, “‘Sunpure Ellide, Santhosha Allide’ is not just a tagline; it reflects the emotions of every family where delicious food is served with happiness. Our aim is to bring smiles to people’s faces and create a deeper emotional connection with our audience.”</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The collaboration with prominent personalities like Kichcha Sudeep and Priyamani is expected to significantly amplify the campaign’s reach and impact. Both actors bring immense credibility and emotional connect with audiences across South India and beyond, making the message of trust and happiness even more relatable.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This strategic move by Sunpure underscores the brand’s commitment to evolving with consumer preferences while staying rooted in the values of quality, trust, and family well-being. The introduction of the new Canola Oil variant also signals the company’s focus on innovation and health-focused offerings in the competitive edible oils market.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As the campaign rolls out across multiple platforms, it is likely to strengthen Sunpure’s position as a household name synonymous with purity and happiness. The brand’s 30-year legacy combined with fresh storytelling and a new healthy product offering positions it strongly for continued growth in the years ahead.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Industry observers view this campaign as a well-timed celebration that effectively blends nostalgia with forward-looking innovation. For consumers, it reinforces Sunpure’s promise of delivering not just oil but moments of joy in every kitchen.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<p>The film stars Virat Karrna, Nabha Natesh, Daksha Nagarkar, Rishabh Sawhney, Mahesh Manjrekar and Ganesh Acharya in key roles. Director Abhishek Nama has attempted to present mystery, mythology and adventure on a grand cinematic scale.</p>

<title>Adah Sharma Goes Marathi With Gajra: Five Roles That Show Her Range</title>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Adah Sharma is heading somewhere she's never been. The actor, who has bounced between horror, action and hard-edged drama over the years, is making her Marathi film debut with Gajra, a story drawn from real events. Its first look is already doing the rounds, and it's not a gentle one — Adah appears as a bride, blood streaked across her, in an image that's tough to shake off.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">The reaction to that poster says a lot about where she stands today. Fans want to see how she pulls off yet another skin. And if her past work is any guide, she rarely picks the easy road.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Take 1920, the horror film that launched her. As the possessed Lisa, she had to flip between wide-eyed innocence and something genuinely frightening, and she did it in her very first film. Years on, it's still counted among the strongest horror debuts an Indian actress has managed.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Then came The Kerala Story, easily the biggest turn of her career. Playing Shalini Unnikrishnan, later Fathima Ba, asked for raw emotional heavy lifting, and the film exploded commercially. It crossed ₹375 crore worldwide and became India's highest-grossing female-led release, pulling in a fan base that stretched far beyond her earlier audience.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Action is a different beast, and few actresses commit to it fully. Adah did. Across Commando 2 and Commando 3, she played Bhavana Reddy with real martial arts training and stunt work she clearly wasn't faking. The physical side, paired with her screen presence, made her stand out in the franchise.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">She switched moods completely for Sunflower Season 2. Here she was Rosie, a bar dancer with sharp comic timing, a role built on glamour, mischief and a bit of mystery. It proved she could walk away from intense drama and land squarely in offbeat comedy without losing her footing.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">The trickiest job might have been Reeta Sanyal. The show handed her eight separate identities, each with its own disguise and personality, and she had to hold the humour and suspense together while jumping between them. It remains one of her most demanding technical exercises on screen.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">That's the pattern with <a href="https://www.bollywoodwave.com/news-gossip/adah-sharma-to-be-the-face-of-har-ghar-durga-campaign">Adah </a>— horror, action, comedy, courtroom tension, socially charged stories. She keeps reaching for parts that push her. Gajra is simply the next test, this time in a language she hasn't worked in before.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">There's more coming, too. She'll appear as a devi in a bilingual project, and turn up as a slacker superhero in SuperVelli. For now, though, all eyes are on that bridal poster and the transformation waiting behind it.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Mishkat Verma and Priyanshi Yadav have quietly become the couple everyone on YouTube can't stop watching. As their web show Tu Yaa Koi Nahi picks up steam on the Director Kut Production channel, the two leads are winning over viewers one episode at a time. Fans have already handed them a title: the web space's newest "IT" on-screen pair.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">The show, backed by Ishika Shahi, keeps climbing, but a big part of its pull is the duo at its centre. On camera or off, Mishkat and Priyanshi are easy to root for. Their behind-the-scenes clips get turned into reels within hours, and the comments underneath almost always ask for one thing — more.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">So what's the secret? Start with the chemistry. It doesn't look staged or coached. When they crack jokes or react to a random question, the comfort between them is obvious, and that's exactly why people hit replay.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Then there's the fun factor. Plenty of celebrity interviews lose you halfway through. Not these two. Drop them in front of a camera and even an ordinary chat spirals into cheerful chaos — sudden jokes, playful jabs, answers nobody sees coming. No two conversations feel the same.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Their off-screen moments carry just as much weight. Fans dig through the internet for outtakes, on-set masti and candid reels, and Director Kut Productions has been feeding that appetite, dropping clip after clip. Some of these BTS videos rack up the same kind of numbers as scenes from the actual show. That tells you people enjoy the pair well beyond the roles they play.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">The fandom does the rest. Every new video lands and the comment section fills up instantly — edits, appreciation posts, screenshots of a single smile or a funny reaction. The buzz doesn't die when the interview ends. It runs for days, sometimes longer, as fans keep the conversation going online.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">What really sets them apart is repeat value. Not every pairing has it. Mishkat and Priyanshi do. There's an easy friendship in their energy and humour that makes each appearance worth the click, and audiences keep coming back for it.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">For now, Tu Yaa Koi Nahi has given fans plenty to hold onto, and the makers seem happy to keep the reels coming. Whether it's a scene, an interview or a throwaway moment between takes, the two leads have found a rhythm that works — and viewers have made it clear they're not ready to look away.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><strong>Mumbai</strong>: In a remarkable display of audience love, emerging artist Raj Ranjit's Bollywood-style music video "Rajmahal Bana Doon Patna Mein" has crossed an impressive 20 million views in just 10 days, creating a massive sensation across social media platforms.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The high-energy track, featuring the sizzling on-screen chemistry between Raj Ranjit and Yukti Kapoor, has struck a chord with viewers nationwide. Choreographed by the legendary Ganesh Acharya, whose signature hook step has already gone viral, the song is being widely recreated in countless reels and dance videos, cementing its status as a chartbuster.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The soulful and powerful vocals come from seasoned singers Amit Mishra and Kalpana Patowary, while the music composition is by Kunal Mishra. Shot at the vibrant Bombay Cocktail Bar in Mumbai, the video beautifully captures the festive spirit and cultural essence that resonates deeply with audiences, particularly those who appreciate Bhojpuri and Bollywood fusion.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Expressing his heartfelt gratitude, Raj Ranjit said, "I sincerely thank all the viewers. Receiving the love of over 20 million people as a new face feels like a dream come true." His words reflect the genuine joy and humility of an artist witnessing his breakthrough moment.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Through his music label, Harsh Music Records (HMR), Raj Ranjit is committed to promoting clean, family-oriented entertainment. This vision is clearly reflected in the label's recent releases, including the Bhojpuri songs "Senura Ka Kasoor" and "Vivah Reet." The latter features veteran actress Zarina Wahab alongside Pallavi Singh, beautifully portraying family values and the rich cultural traditions of Bihar.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Pallavi Singh shared her experience, saying, "Working with Zarina Wahab ji was a memorable experience. During the filming of the emotional farewell sequence in 'Vivah Reet,' I was genuinely moved to tears."</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Raj Ranjit, who has already lent his voice to more than 150 music albums, is now expanding his creative horizons as a singer, actor, and producer. His mission with Harsh Music Records goes beyond commercial success — it aims to provide a platform for new talent while preserving the legacy of wholesome, family-centric entertainment reminiscent of the golden era films from Rajshri Productions and Yash Chopra.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In an industry often driven by trends and controversy, Raj Ranjit's focus on meaningful content stands out. The overwhelming response to "Rajmahal Bana Doon Patna Mein" not only highlights the song's catchy composition and energetic performances but also underscores the enduring appeal of music that celebrates culture, family, and pure entertainment.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Social media has played a pivotal role in amplifying the song's reach, with dance challenges and fan covers flooding platforms like Instagram and YouTube. The viral hook step choreographed by Ganesh Acharya has particularly captured the imagination of young audiences, turning the track into a cultural moment.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As Raj Ranjit continues to build his presence in the <a href="https://www.bollywoodwave.com/music">music </a>and film industry, this milestone serves as a strong foundation. Industry observers note that his dedication to quality and family values positions Harsh Music Records as a refreshing addition to the entertainment landscape.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Celina Vikram Jaitly is stepping into one of the most demanding roles of her career. The actor will play Margaret Elizabeth Noble — better known as Sister Nibedita — in a new Hindi feature announced by National Award-winning filmmaker Ram Kamal Mukherjee. The film marks the pair's first collaboration in nearly four years, since Season's Greetings.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Titled Sister Nibedita, the biographical drama traces the life of the Irish-born disciple of Swami Vivekananda who gave up her home to serve India. It's produced by Aritra Das Creation in association with Assorted Motion Pictures.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Born in Ireland, Noble left everything familiar behind and made India her spiritual home. Her work spanned education, women's empowerment, social reform and the freedom-era push for a national awakening — a legacy the film wants to bring to a wider audience. The story follows her shift from a young Irish educator to a fierce advocate for India's cultural and spiritual life, set against a country in the middle of enormous change. Her bond with Swami Vivekananda sits at the heart of it.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Mukherjee says the subject had been waiting to be told. He came across Nibedita's journey while reading about Ramakrishna and Vivekananda during the making of Binodiini, and returned to her story afterwards. He was clear about his lead from the start. "I am glad to have Celina as my leading lady, who would understand the pain and passion of woman's self-sacrifice," he says.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">For Jaitly, the project carries a personal thread. As a child she wandered the grounds of Sister Nibedita's last home in Darjeeling, never imagining she would one day play her. "There are journeys that an actor chooses, and then there are journeys that somehow choose the actor," she says, adding that she takes a "sacred vow" to give the role everything she has.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Producer Aritra Das calls it a dream project, one the team had wanted to make ever since Binodiini. He recalled Jaitly flying in from Austria so the director could see her final look. "We were surprised to see the transformation," he says.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">The first look drops on July 4, timed to the 124th Mahasamadhi anniversary of Swami Vivekananda — a date chosen to honour the ties between the guru and his devoted disciple.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Planned as an international production, the film will shoot across Mumbai, Kolkata and Ireland, covering the geography that shaped Nibedita's life. Mukherjee reunites with music duo Sourendra-Soumyajit after Binodiini Ekti Natir Upakhyan, while Ipsita Acharya handles story and screenplay. Casting and other key hires are still being locked, with research already well underway.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hyderabad-based producer Janvi Doshi has turned a long-cherished dream into reality with the launch of Shreenathji Media Works. Teaming up with industry veteran Kaushik Thakkar, she has stepped into content creation with a purpose-driven vision. Their first notable venture, Condumb, is a short film that seeks to spark conversations around sexual health, awareness, and social responsibility through a relatable narrative.<br /><br />For Janvi, the journey into production has been years in the making. Family commitments and the responsibility of raising her children meant that her ambition of starting a production house had to take a backseat.<br /><br />"I always wanted to open my own production house, but because of my family responsibilities and my children, I had to give up that dream for some time. Now that my children have grown up and I have more freedom to focus on my aspirations, I decided it was finally time to pursue it," Janvi says.<br /><br />The turning point came when she reconnected with her old friend Kaushik Thakkar, who has spent nearly two decades in the entertainment industry.<br /><br />"I met my old friend Kaushik Thakkar, who has been in the industry for around 20 years. We discussed our ideas and eventually planned to start a production house together. That's how Shreenathji Media Works was born," she shares.<br /><br />The duo's short film Condumb reflects Janvi's belief that cinema can be a powerful medium for addressing social issues and challenging long-standing taboos.<br /><br />"As a producer, I believe cinema has the power to start important conversations. Condoms are not just about contraception; they are also about health, safety, responsibility and informed choice," she says.<br /><br />Janvi feels that despite growing awareness, discussions around sexual health remain uncomfortable for many people.<br /><br />"Despite their importance, many people still feel uncomfortable discussing condoms openly. Through this short film, I wanted to address that stigma in a creative and relatable way," she explains.<br /><br />For the producer, Condumb is more than just a film&mdash;it's an attempt to educate while entertaining.<br /><br />"My goal is to educate, raise awareness and encourage healthier attitudes towards sexual health while telling a meaningful and engaging story," she concludes.<br /><br />With Condumb, Janvi Doshi and Shreenathji Media Works hope to create content that not only engages audiences but also encourages conversations that society often avoids.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Director Kaushik Thakkar is gearing up for the release of his short film Condumb, starring Jayati Bhatia and Varsha Solanki. Wearing multiple hats as the film&rsquo;s concept writer, producer, and director, Kaushik admits that balancing the various responsibilities was demanding, but ultimately rewarding.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Managing multiple responsibilities was definitely challenging, but because the story was very close to my heart, it felt natural. As the concept writer, I knew exactly what message I wanted to convey. As a producer, I focused on ensuring that all resources, planning, and logistics were in place,&rdquo; he said.</p>
<p>He further added, &ldquo;As a director, my goal was to bring authenticity and realism to the screen. Having a dedicated team, including Jayati Bhatia, Varsha Solanki, Chirag Vora, and the entire crew, made the process smoother. Their support allowed me to balance these roles effectively and stay focused on the film&rsquo;s vision. I must also acknowledge Janvi Doshi, Partner at Shreenathji Mediaworks, whose constant support and belief in meaningful storytelling played an important role throughout the journey.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Speaking about the casting process, Kaushik shared, &ldquo;When I narrated the concept to Jayati Bhatia, she immediately connected with the subject and agreed to be a part of the project. Her enthusiasm gave me a lot of confidence.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Since the film deals with a socially relevant issue, it required actors who could bring sincerity and depth to their performances. Varsha Solanki was also a perfect fit for the role, and together they helped bring the story to life in a very impactful manner,&rdquo; he added.</p>
<p>Casting, according to him, was driven by instinct and a shared understanding of the film&rsquo;s emotional core. &ldquo;We shot the film across various locations in Mumbai, including several chawls, which added authenticity to the narrative. The real locations helped us capture the environment and emotions required for the story. We have also submitted the film to several film festivals across India and internationally.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The decision to shoot on real locations was a conscious one, helping the film stay rooted in reality. Sharing details about the release, he said, &ldquo;We are releasing Condumb on YouTube on June 4 so that it can reach the widest possible audience.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Since the film is based on a subject that concerns society at large, YouTube seemed like the ideal platform to maximize viewership and engagement. We hope people will watch the film, connect with its message, and become more aware of the consequences of such actions,&rdquo; he added.</p>
<p>For Kaushik, accessibility is just as important as the message itself.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Entertainment Desk:</strong> Cinema has always been a mirror to society, but some stories transcend the screen and pierce straight through the heart. One such deeply emotional and heart-wrenching upcoming film is 'Samarpit: Father's Love'.</p>
<p>​Produced under the prestigious banner of Naishaa Films, this movie chronicles the monumental struggle of a father who stands against the entire world just to protect and nurture his child. The recently released official poster has already taken the internet by storm, sparking heavy curiosity among movie buffs. The tagline on the poster speaks volumes: "A father doesn&rsquo;t say he loves you. He shows it every day."</p>
<h2>​The Untold Story of 'Samarpit' &ndash; A Heartbreaking Premise</h2>
<p>​The plot is deeply rooted in the rustic life of a village. It revolves around a simple, hard-working young village man whose life shatters into a million pieces when his beloved wife passes away, leaving behind a fragile, newborn child. Devastated by the tragic loss, the young father refuses to give up. He takes an oath to single-handedly raise his son despite crippling poverty and endless hardships.</p>
<p>​Poverty, however, tests him ruthlessly. A time comes when he lacks even the bare minimum resources to feed his child. Without a second thought, he takes the ultimate risk and mortgages his only shelter&mdash;his ancestral home.</p>
<p>​In the same village, there is a young woman who loves him unconditionally. She desires to hold his hand through this storm, offering him comfort and a shared life. But this devoted father has eyes only for his son&rsquo;s upbringing. Fearing that a new relationship might divide his affection and attention, he makes the painful choice to reject her pure love. Turning his back on his home and the woman who loved him, he walks away into the unknown, carrying his child toward a distant, crowded city.</p>
<h2>​The Harsh Realities of the City and the Ultimate Suspense!</h2>
<p>​The real emotional rollercoaster begins from this very point. Leaving the village was just the prologue; surviving in an unforgiving, cold city with a small child without any support system is where his true trial begins.</p>
<p>​How did this father manage to feed his child when the city closed its doors on him?<br />​Did his endless sacrifices pay off? Did the son grow up to value and realize the monumental price his father paid for his survival?<br />​Did the village girl, who loved him selflessly, ever cross paths with them again?<br />​Most importantly, what is that catastrophic or miraculous turning point in the city that changed their destinies forever?<br />​To unravel these deep mysteries and experience a cinematic journey filled with raw human emotions, you must watch the full movie 'Samarpit'. This film is not just an entertainment piece; it is a grand tribute to every father who silently destroys his own dreams to build the dreams of his children.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.bollychakkar.com/uploads/images/202605/image_1200x675_6a1c2684b80be.webp" alt="" /></p>
<h2>​Stellar Cast &amp; Crew of 'Samarpit'</h2>
<p>​The film features a stellar lineup of seasoned actors and a dedicated creative crew who have poured their hearts into making this masterpiece:</p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], May 14:</strong> Rare Long-Form Discussion Explores Karna&rsquo;s Psychological Conflict, Parashurama&rsquo;s Curse, Kunti&rsquo;s Promise and the Forgotten Emotional Depth of Sanskrit Dramatic Literature</p><p>Long before arrows pierced his body on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, Karna had already been wounded by fate, silence, rejection and unbearable moral conflict.</p><p>It is precisely this inner fracture &mdash; rather than the spectacle of war itself &mdash; that ancient Sanskrit dramatist Mahakavi Bh&#257;sa captured in his extraordinary play &ldquo;Karnabharam,&rdquo; one of the most emotionally layered dramatic interpretations of Karna in classical Indian literature.</p><p>Now, in what is being viewed as among the very few long-form YouTube discussions dedicated to Bh&#257;sa&rsquo;s &ldquo;Karnabharam,&rdquo; Mahabharata textual researcher and Indic epic analyst Varun Gupta, through his rapidly growing digital platform&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@GrahRahasyaDecoded?utm_source=chatgpt.com"><u>GrahRahasya Decoded</u></a>&nbsp;(<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@GrahRahasyaDecoded"><u>https://www.youtube.com/@GrahRahasyaDecoded</u></a>) , has brought this rare Sanskrit dramatic work into contemporary public conversation through a deeply researched and emotionally charged podcast discussion.</p><p>The complete long-form discussion is available on Varun Gupta&rsquo;s research platform GrahRahasya Decoded, where viewers can watch the detailed exploration titled&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/GDLB7BKMm7U?si=U6CohdkkuY8KWTOQ&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com"><u>&ldquo;Bh&#257;sa&rsquo;s Karnabharam&rdquo; &mdash; A Deep Mahabharata Discussion on Karna&rsquo;s Inner Conflict</u></a>&nbsp;(https://youtu.be/GDLB7BKMm7U?si=U6CohdkkuY8KWTOQ)</p><p>At a time when large sections of younger audiences encounter Mahabharata primarily through television adaptations, short-form mythology content and simplified social media narratives, such efforts are increasingly being recognized as important attempts to reconnect modern viewers with India&rsquo;s classical literary consciousness and intellectual traditions.</p><p><strong>Beyond Television Narratives: Returning to India&rsquo;s Classical Literary Sources</strong></p><p>According to Varun Gupta, one of the greatest problems in modern Mahabharata discourse is that audiences often inherit fixed judgments about epic characters without ever engaging directly with India&rsquo;s own textual and literary traditions.</p><p>While Karna remains one of the most emotionally debated figures in Indian epic literature, Gupta argues that much of the modern conversation surrounding him remains trapped between simplistic glorification and equally superficial condemnation.</p><p>Bh&#257;sa&rsquo;s &ldquo;Karnabharam,&rdquo; however, approaches Karna very differently.</p><p>Rather than presenting him merely as a heroic warrior or tragic victim, the Sanskrit play transforms Karna into a study of interior collapse &mdash; a man crushed beneath:</p><p>&middot;loyalty,</p><p>&middot;promises,</p><p>&middot;rejection,</p><p>&middot;memory,</p><p>&middot;curses,</p><p>&middot;identity,</p><p>&middot;and the unbearable moral tension of standing against his own brothers.</p><p>The discussion examines how Karna enters Kurukshetra carrying not only celestial weapons, but also:</p><p>&middot;Parashurama&rsquo;s curse,</p><p>&middot;the Brahmin curse,</p><p>&middot;Kunti&rsquo;s revelation,</p><p>&middot;the promise to spare four Pandavas,</p><p>&middot;and the emotional isolation of standing between gratitude and destiny.</p><p>&ldquo;Karna&rsquo;s tragedy was not born on the battlefield alone &mdash; it was carried silently within him long before Kurukshetra began,&rdquo; says Varun Gupta during the discussion.</p><p>Perhaps that is why Karna continues to haunt Indian civilizational memory centuries later &mdash; not because he was flawless, but because he remained painfully human.</p><p><strong>Bh&#257;sa&rsquo;s Karna vs Vyasa&rsquo;s Karna: A Literary and Psychological Reinterpretation</strong></p><p>One of the most intellectually compelling dimensions of the podcast is its comparison between the Karna of Bh&#257;sa&rsquo;s Sanskrit dramatic imagination and the Karna encountered in Vyasa&rsquo;s Mahabharata.</p><p>Unlike Vyasa&rsquo;s expansive epic narration, Bh&#257;sa compresses Karna&rsquo;s suffering into psychological theatre.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], May 23:</strong> Anjali Bhushan Mago, who began her career assisting Karan Johar on &lsquo;Kuch Kuch Hota Hai&rsquo; 30 years ago, has joined hands with ace composer duo Meet Bros, best known for chartbusters like &lsquo;Baby Doll&rsquo; and &lsquo;Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan&rsquo;, to launch their production house Yantra Films with the unveiling of their first film, &lsquo;Ishqa&rsquo;, a romantic dramedy, at The Taj Mahal Palace in Colaba. The film, which is also written and directed by Anjali, shall be the first-ever Bollywood feature film to be shot, co-produced and post-produced in Cyprus under the CIPA Scheme; marking a significant cultural and cinematic collaboration between India and Cyprus. </p><p>The unveiling of &lsquo;Ishqa&rsquo; was graced by the President of Cyprus, His Excellency Nikos Christodoulides, along with members of the Indian film fraternity, dignitaries, business leaders and guests from both countries, including Mr. Fokion C. Karavias &ndash; CEO of Eurobank and their senior leadership Mr. Sanjay Tugnait, Mr. Demetris Skourides Stavaros Iaanoo and Mr. Michalis Louis. From the film fraternity, present were Jaaved Jaaferi, Ravi Kishan, Shreya Dhanwanthary, Gaurav Chopra, Mohomed and Lucky Morani, Elnaaz Norouzi, Rajesh Khattar, and Preeti Panigrahi, among many others.</p><p>&lsquo;Ishqa&rsquo; is produced by Harmeet Singh and Manmeet Singh of Meet Bros, Anjali Bhushan Mago and Anavi Bhushan Nugyal under their label Yantra Films of Mahakaal Vibes Studios and Yantra Cyprus AVC Ltd, in collaboration with Ray Films Cyprus as delegate producers, and Bulb Chamka as the line producers on the film. The unveiling event was powered by Eurobank.</p><p>Casting for &lsquo;Ishqa&rsquo; is currently underway, and the film promises well-known names for key roles in the film.</p><p>Speaking at the unveiling of the film, Hon. President of Cyprus Nikos Christodoulides expressed, <em>&ldquo;It is a very special occasion for Cyprus&rsquo; creative industry. Cinema has a unique power. It transcends borders, seamlessly reaches cultures and people. And of course, creates a space of interaction that allows people to connect to the country long before they physically visit it. The location of an artistic production is about identity and emotion. And then, there is our unparalleled hospitality. &nbsp;I know India is known for its hospitality but you will see that we have a lot in common and we Cypriots have a special flair for hospitality too. We have a lot in common.&rdquo; </em>Further, reminiscing about Hon. Indian Prime Miniter Narendra Modi&rsquo;s visit to Cyprus last year, <strong>he added,</strong><em> &ldquo;I&rsquo;m very proud to say that Cyprus-India partnership grows from strength to strength.&rdquo;</em></p><p>With over three decades in the entertainment industry, Anjali has worked across television, documentaries, film production and studio leadership. Over the years, she has been Executive Producer and Creative Producer with leading banners including Viacom18 Studios, T-Series and Ajay Devgn Films before stepping into her directorial debut for a feature film with &lsquo;Ishqa&rsquo;.</p><p>Speaking about what led her to direct her first feature now, Anjali said,<em> &ldquo;I have been directing since 1996, beginning with television and documentaries, but directing a fiction feature film required a much deeper understanding of every aspect of filmmaking. &lsquo;Ishqa&rsquo; is a romantic dramedy about four stories of unconditional love interwoven in a comedy of errors. I truly feel audiences&nbsp;today&nbsp;need a happy film.&rdquo;</em> T<strong>alking about Cyprus as the setting of the film, she added, </strong><em>&ldquo;Cyprus is the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of Love&hellip; making it the perfect setting for &lsquo;Ishqa&rsquo;. From its white sandy beaches and blue Mediterranean waters to the old-world charm of the village of Lefkara and the urban energy of Nicosia and Limassol, the country has a magical aesthetic that beautifully complements the emotional world of my film.&rdquo;</em></p><p>Having given some of the industry&rsquo;s biggest hit tracks, including &lsquo;Hangover&rsquo;, &lsquo;High Heel&rsquo;, &lsquo;Pink Lips&rsquo;, &lsquo;Boss&rsquo;, &lsquo;Party Toh Banti Hai&rsquo; et al, Meet Bros are now set to create the same magic in film production. <strong>Harmeet Singh expressed,<em> </em></strong><em>&ldquo;As music composers, we have spent years interacting with directors, producers and filmmakers, understanding storytelling and watching films come together from close quarters. Through that journey, we met Anjali and instantly connected over the kind of cinema we believe in. We have always felt that music and cinema are deeply connected, and stepping into film production felt like the natural next chapter for us. With Yantra Films, we want to create stories that are entertaining, emotionally honest and capable of connecting with audiences across every background.&rdquo;</em></p><p><strong>Added Manmeet Singh,<em> </em></strong><em>&ldquo;Meet Bros may be synonymous with Bollywood, but our hearts beat for India. We are extremely proud to be partnering with Cyprus and grateful for the support extended by the country and its people. This is only the beginning for us&hellip; we already have another film planned in Cyprus, and we are incredibly excited about what lies ahead!&rdquo;</em></p><p>The unveiling evening began with a soulful Bharatnatyam dance performance by Apeksha Niranjan and concluded on a high note with an electrifying live performance by Meet Bros.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Movie Review:</strong> 'Obsess'<br /><strong>Cast </strong>: Peter Wilson, Eisha Singh&nbsp;<br /><strong>Director</strong>: Peter Wilson<br /><strong>Producer</strong>: Jagdish Singh, Peter Wilson, &nbsp;<br /><strong>Genre</strong>: Action, Thriller<br /><strong>Duration</strong>: 2h 18m<br /><strong>Language</strong>: Hindi&nbsp;<br /><strong>Censor </strong>: A&nbsp;<br /><strong>Release Date </strong>: 29th May 2026&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Rating</strong>: &nbsp;⭐⭐⭐ 1/2&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Experimental thrillers have always attracted a niche section of Bollywood audiences, and &lsquo;Obsess&rsquo; is one such bold attempt. Built almost entirely around two characters, the film explores how a small road rage incident spirals into a terrifying psychological battle between a mentally unstable man and a fiercely independent woman.</p>
<h2>Story</h2>
<p>The story begins in a North Indian city on a dark night. Peter (Peter Wilson) is seen murdering someone inside a deserted house. Mentally disturbed and emotionally broken, Peter believes he is not wrong &mdash; just weak, but not defeated. Sitting inside his truck after the murder, he consumes medicines and alcohol while talking to himself.</p>
<p>Soon, he receives a message from his boss informing him that he has been fired for drunk driving. Humiliated by the abusive texts, Peter loses control completely. He drives straight to his boss&rsquo;s house and brutally kills him as well.</p>
<p>Peter later enters a church and confesses to murdering a woman inside the confession box. But shockingly, moments later, he murders the priest too, claiming that he no longer trusts anyone.</p>
<p>On the other side is Sara (Esha Singh), who is going through marital issues with her husband. She refuses to give him custody of their child and leaves for her mother&rsquo;s house with her son Sachin.</p>
<p>While driving, road construction forces her to stop the car. As she steps out to attend to her child sitting in the backseat, Peter&rsquo;s truck stops behind her. Drunk and impatient, Peter keeps honking continuously. Irritated, Sara walks up to his truck, yells at him and calls him ill-mannered. Peter simply stares at her silently.</p>
<p>That one argument slowly turns into a deadly game. On one side is a psychologically disturbed killer, and on the other is a mother willing to fight for her child at any cost. Their conflict becomes a tense survival thriller that keeps the audience constantly anxious.</p>
<h2>Direction</h2>
<p>Director Peter Wilson deserves credit for handling a feature film with almost only two central characters. He presents Peter&rsquo;s disturbed mental state in a raw and natural manner. Peter sees himself as the victim of society and believes violence is justified against those who wrong him.</p>
<p>At the same time, Sara&rsquo;s ego, anger and emotional vulnerability are also explored effectively. Wilson succeeds in maintaining tension throughout the 2-hour-18-minute runtime.</p>
<p>One of the film&rsquo;s most unique aspects is that there are almost no dialogues. The storytelling depends heavily on silence, expressions and atmosphere, making the psychological tension feel even more disturbing and realistic.</p>
<h2>Performances</h2>
<p>Peter Wilson delivers the film&rsquo;s standout performance. Through expressions and body language alone, he successfully portrays the pain, frustration and dangerous instability of his character. Since the film has very limited dialogues, his facial expressions become the primary driving force of the narrative.</p>
<p>As a psychotic killer, Wilson manages to create fear without relying on exaggerated theatrics. His calmness often feels more terrifying than violence itself.</p>
<p>Esha Singh also leaves a strong impact as Sara. Initially appearing as an egoistic and fearless woman, her character slowly transforms into a desperate mother trying to save her child. Esha handles this emotional transition naturally and convincingly.</p>
<p>The face-off scenes between Peter Wilson and Esha Singh are among the strongest moments of the film. Despite minimal dialogues, both actors keep the tension alive through performance alone.</p>
<h2>Final Verdict</h2>
<p>&lsquo;Obsess&rsquo; is not a regular commercial thriller. It is an experimental psychological drama that explores how one impulsive moment of anger can destroy lives forever.</p>
<p>The kidnapping and chase sequences involving Sara&rsquo;s child are genuinely disturbing and emotionally intense. As viewers, you constantly feel trapped inside the nightmare unfolding on screen.</p>
<p>With minimal dialogues, strong performances and sustained psychological tension, &lsquo;Obsess&rsquo; becomes a gripping cinematic experience. More than just a thriller, it works as a warning about anger, ego and mental instability.</p>
<p>&lsquo;Obsess&rsquo; is the kind of film that stays with the audience long after the credits roll.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The glamour of the Cannes Film Festival 2026 took an unexpected turn when Bollywood divas Urvashi Rautela and Soniya Bansal appeared in strikingly similar couture ensembles, instantly becoming the talk of social media and fashion circles worldwide.<br /><br />Both actresses were spotted wearing dazzling silver embellished gowns featuring dramatic crystal detailing, intricate embroidery, and flowing cape-style sleeves. Their regal looks, paired with statement neckpieces and glamorous makeup, created an almost mirror-like appearance on the Cannes red carpet.&nbsp;<br /><br />Fashion enthusiasts quickly flooded social media platforms with comparisons, calling it the &ldquo;Cannes Twinning Moment of 2026.&rdquo; While Urvashi opted for a more royal and majestic styling with an ornate headpiece and bold eye makeup, Soniya embraced a softer, modern elegance with a sleek bun and minimal accessories.<br /><br />Soniya Bansal reportedly attended Cannes 2026 in connection with her upcoming film The Last Breath, which also stars Shiv Thakare. Her appearance at the prestigious festival has already generated buzz around the project, with fans eagerly anticipating more details about the film and its international presentation.<br /><br />Industry insiders believe the similarity in the outfits may have been purely coincidental, but the internet had plenty to say. Some fans praised both actresses for carrying the look with confidence and individuality, while others debated who wore the couture masterpiece better.<br /><br />The viral moment has also reignited conversations about celebrity styling overlaps at international fashion events. Designers and stylists often draw inspiration from global couture trends, making occasional fashion similarities almost inevitable during high-profile appearances like Cannes.<br /><br />Despite the comparisons, both stars managed to leave a strong impression on the red carpet. Urvashi&rsquo;s dramatic royal aesthetic captured attention instantly, while Soniya&rsquo;s graceful interpretation earned praise for its sophistication and poise.<br /><br />One thing is certain &mdash; Cannes 2026 delivered yet another unforgettable fashion moment, proving once again that Bollywood celebrities continue to dominate international style conversations with confidence, glamour, and bold couture choices.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ayub Z. Khan has spent more than four decades inside the film industry, directing, producing, writing, and distributing. At 61, he is not slowing down. With his film festival, CineDreams International Film Festival, he is building something he believes the industry has never truly had, a festival that exists not for the powerful, but for the people the powerful have ignored.<br /><br />He said, "There are many festivals. Today, festivals are taking place in every lane. But what people do is they put an LED and show the film. And there are 4-5 people. And those who give money get an award. Those who don't, they don't."<br /><br />"Our main aim is that good people should come into the industry; good people should get jobs, because there is a group of 10-20 people in our industry who make films together, and the rest of the people are not even allowed to enter the office,&rdquo; he added.<br /><br />He is equally direct about the quality of what is actually being made at the top. He said, "Now, we have made Dhurandar. What is new in Dhurandar? Did you tell anything new? No, you didn't. You made the story of India and Pakistan, which is happening in politics. The story of Dhurandar is that there are bad people in Pakistan and good people in India. Politicians are also doing the same thing. What did you do in the name of entertainment? You didn't do anything."&nbsp;<br /><br />CineDreams International Film Festival operates on an entirely different philosophy. Films are screened from 9 am to 10 pm, entry is free, refreshments are provided at no extra cost, and this time around, he has received submissions from 35 countries alongside films in Indian regional languages. But he is particular about how filmmakers engage with all of this. He does not want them sitting through only their own screenings and leaving.<br /><br />He said, "Until you read two novels, you won't have a third concept in your mind. You learn from reading. You learn from watching. If you watch films of different languages, then you will know what the world is today, what people are making, what we should plan for the future, and what we should make."&nbsp;<br /><br />At the Bombay edition, Ayub introduced something personal. He named awards after twelve figures from Uttar Pradesh who shaped Indian cinema but have since faded from public memory: K. Asif, Naushad, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Vishal Bhardwaj, Rahul Ravel, and others whose work built the foundations that the industry now stands on without acknowledgement. At the Lucknow International Film Festival, held at Saharaganj's PVR INOX Cinema, those same honors were carried forward, with awards named after Director K. Asif, Music Director Naushad, Writer Rahi Masoom Reza, Lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri, Writer Munshi Premchand, Actor Bharat Bhushan, Actress Nargis Dutt, Actor Sujit Kumar, Character Actor Kanhaiyalal, Producer Prakash Mehra, Sound Engineer B.K. Chaturvedi, and poet and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.<br /><br />He said, "Today's generation forgot them. I started awards in the name of those 12 people.&nbsp;<br /><br />Alongside the festival, Ayub&rsquo;s production company, CineDream Films LLP, is also making a Hindi film titled Shubh Sangam, with two actors and one actress playing a double role, and they will be given their break from Uttar Pradesh itself.<br /><br />He is also clear about what recognition means for someone just starting out. He said, "When a person enters the industry, he has a passion. He has a different way of thinking. He wants to decide what he is thinking, right or wrong. When that thing goes in front of people, and those people have done big things in the industry, have a lot of experience, and know good and bad, then it will be decided whether you did right or wrong."&nbsp;<br /><br />Now he is looking beyond India. The Indian government's restrictions mean Pakistani and Chinese films cannot be screened domestically, and that gap in the program has bothered him. His solution is to extend the festival to Dubai, with additional screenings in Sharjah, and bring 20-25 selected participants from India along with him.<br /><br />He said, "Pakistani films will also come there. China's will also come; Afghanistan's will also come. There is no hindrance in Dubai. When the films come, the technicians will come, the actors, and the writers will also come."&nbsp;<br /><br />But what he expects in return shows his commitment and dedication towards the industry. "If five people get work at my festival, I will feel that I did a good job. I can't guarantee everything, but if five people get work because of my festival, their lives will improve. So, as a human being, being in the industry, I did a good job,&rdquo; Ayub ended.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Young filmmaker Sharan Raj Kasaragod is attempting to bring a fresh new-generation identity to Tulu cinema through his upcoming Tulu feature film &ldquo;3Moorthilu&rdquo;, which is also being dubbed in Kannada for a wider audience reach.<br /><br />At a time when regional cinema across India is expanding beyond boundaries, Sharan Raj believes Tulu cinema too deserves wider recognition and stronger presentation. Popularly referred to by many as &ldquo;Coastalwood&rdquo;, the Tulu film industry has long been known for its rooted culture, humor, and loyal audience base. Through &ldquo;3Moorthilu&rdquo;, the young filmmaker aims to blend that regional soul with a modern cinematic and digital approach.<br /><br />&ldquo;3Moorthilu&rdquo; is a youthful comedy-drama entertainer built around friendship, emotion, campus life, suspense, and the vibrant energy of Tulunad. The project marks the directorial debut of Sharan Raj Kasaragod under the banner of Souparnika Pictures.<br /><br />One of the major highlights of the film is the introduction of more than 20 newcomers across acting and technical departments, creating a platform for fresh talent from the coastal region. At the same time, the film also features several renowned and audience-favorite artists including Aravind Bolar, Bhojaraj Vamanjoor, Ravi Ramakunja, Sadashiva Amin, Namitha Kiran, Rakshan Madoor, Druthi Sai, Nithin Thumbe, Sharan Mimicry, Harish Bangera, and many more.</p>

Lyrics are penned by Yogish A N, with choreography planned by Sudhir Ullal.<br /><br />Apart from the film itself, &ldquo;3Moorthilu&rdquo; is also gaining attention for adopting a modern digital-first promotional strategy rarely explored at this scale in the Tulu film space. The team has already established early visibility through IMDb updates, BookMyShow &ldquo;Coming Soon&rdquo; listings, and active social media engagement even before the film&rsquo;s release.<br /><br />Currently, the team is working on the remaining song shoot while continuing promotions across Dakshina Kannada and Karnataka.<br /><br />With a combination of young energy, regional pride, fresh talent, and modern cinematic ambition, Sharan Raj Kasaragod hopes &ldquo;3Moorthilu&rdquo; becomes a positive step forward in giving wider exposure and a stronger identity to Tulu cinema while also connecting with Kannada audiences through its dubbed release.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Success stories in the beauty and wellness industry are often built on passion, consistency, discipline, and the ability to constantly evolve. Zarir Meherji has carved a strong space for himself over the years in the lifestyle and luxury salon industry through years of hard work, learning and an unwavering belief in empowering people through beauty and wellness. Today, as the CEO and co-founder of flourishing brands under the Florian Hurel umbrella, Zarir continues to play a major role in expanding the business while also focusing on creating opportunities for talent within the industry.</p>
<p>Speaking about what inspired him to enter the industry, he said, “I was always inclined towards the beauty and wellness industry. However, my first break was through the event management  company where I used to manage talent for some events and then I got into Hotel Sahara Star and that was my break into the beauty industry. What inspires me is to recreate the natural beauty, and help people explore the natural beauty within.”</p>
<p>“From a front office executive I was promoted into Wellness department. I was heading the salon, spa and gym, and I think from there until today it has been a journey of of learning and hard work and discipline put together to which today I stand as a co-founder for two brands, where I am the CEO as well,” he added.</p>
<p>One of the major turning points in his professional journey came when he met celebrity hairstylist Florian Hurel over a decade ago. Their collaboration eventually led to the expansion of multiple ventures together. Recalling the beginning of that association, he said, “I met Florian 12 years ago, where I was a Business Manager and he was the creative artistic Director of the brand. The mantra was to be disciplined and consistent in everything we do. And we grew from two salons to four, then we ventured into opening an artist management company in 2019 followed by a fitness centre Flofitbox in 2020, then The Salon and spa business in 2023, and the product business in year 2024.”</p>
<p>Today, Florian Hurel Hair Couture and Spa has expanded significantly, and Zarir takes immense pride not just in the business growth but also in the opportunities the brand creates for people working within the industry. He said, “I do feel proud of being a part of such a brand which is not only towards making revenues but actually giving the power to dream and explore and unleash the potential in this industry. The sky is the limit is the right phrase for this industry.”</p>
<p>Currently serving as the CEO and co-founder of the brand, he continues to oversee operations while also representing the company at various public platforms and industry events. He said, “My current designation is as the CEO and co-founder of the brand, which means the entire operations execution is on my shoulders representing the brand and being the brand face at many public forums as well as events is the part of my job.”</p>
<p>Talking about what truly sets Florian Hurel Hair Couture and Spa apart from others, he emphasized both the quality of services and the brand philosophy. “Well, the USP of the services would be the Korean hair spa. We also empower people associated with us, from the person who sweeps your floor, to the person who parks our car to the security guard to the hair stylist through education and knowledge, which intends to get them good money, not for them to live, not only a good life, but a great life, and that’s what the brand stands for,” Zarir ended.</p>

<p><br></p><p>Historical fiction readers and lovers of Mughal-era intrigue
have a compelling new title to explore with <i>The Jhelum Betrayal</i>, the
much-awaited sequel to <i>Daggers of Treason</i> and the second installment in <i>The
Curse of The Mughals</i> quartet series. Written against the dramatic backdrop
of the Mughal Empire, the novel dives deep into the turbulent rise of Prince
Khurram &mdash; the man who would later become Emperor Shah Jahan.<p></p></p><p>Drawing from extensive historical research while masterfully
blending fact with fiction, <i>The Jhelum Betrayal</i> transports readers into
an era marked by political conspiracies, royal rivalries, forbidden ambitions,
and emotional betrayal.<p></p></p><p>The story unfolds during the reign of Emperor Jahangir, a
ruler often remembered as much for his indulgence in wine and opium as for his
imperial authority. Amid a court consumed by excess, shifting loyalties, and
dangerous power struggles, a young and ambitious Prince Khurram emerges as a
formidable force within the Mughal dynasty.<p></p></p><p>Khurram&rsquo;s military campaign against Rana Amar Singh of Mewar
becomes a turning point in his rise to prominence. Following his success in
subjugating Mewar, he is declared the <i>Wali Ahad</i> &mdash; the heir apparent to
the Mughal throne &mdash; after his elder brother Prince Khusrau rebels against
Jahangir and suffers the brutal punishment of blinding for treachery.</p><p><i>(An illustration of Nurjahan and her mysterious past drawn
from the novel.)<p></p></i></p><p>However, the Mughal court grows even more mysterious with
the arrival of Nurjahan in 1611, after her marriage to Jahangir. The novel
raises haunting questions surrounding her identity and past. Was she truly the
widow of Sher Afghan, or was there a far deeper and darker mystery behind the
woman who would become one of the most powerful figures in Mughal history?<p></p></p><p>The narrative intensifies with the shocking murder of Prince
Khusrau at Burhanpur &mdash; allegedly orchestrated by the ambitious Khurram himself.
This single act becomes the catalyst for a chain of betrayals, rebellions, and
emotional fractures that eventually pit son against father.<p></p></p><p>In another defining moment of Mughal history, Khurram
marries Arjumand Bano in 1612 &mdash; the woman immortalized in history as Mumtaz
Mahal. Their union lays the emotional foundation for what would later become
the legendary Taj Mahal, one of the world&rsquo;s greatest monuments to love.<p></p></p><p>As the empire spirals through betrayal and ambition,
Jahangir&rsquo;s final years are portrayed with emotional depth &mdash; a lonely emperor
alienated from his son, emotionally shattered, and surrounded by the calculated
affection of the politically driven Nurjahan.<p></p></p><p>What truly sets <i>The Jhelum Betrayal</i> apart is its
explosive finale, which promises to challenge conventional perceptions of
Mughal history and leave readers questioning everything they thought they knew
about the era.</p><p>Together, <i>The Jhelum Betrayal</i> and its prequel <i>Daggers
of Treason</i> offer readers a gripping literary experience that uncovers the
hidden layers of Mughal politics, dynastic conflicts, and personal tragedies.
Rich in detail, suspense, and historical texture, the series stands out as an
immersive journey into one of India&rsquo;s most fascinating imperial periods.<p></p></p><p>Readers interested in historical fiction, Mughal history,
and political thrillers can explore the books here:<p></p></p><p><!--[if !supportLists]-->&#9679;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>M4M - Motive For Murder opens on a chilling and thought-provoking note, instantly pulling the audience into a dark world of psychological crime, mystery, and terror. The film begins with a celebrated writer working on a controversial novel based on a ruthless serial killer &mdash; a predator so intelligent and invisible that society fails to recognize his existence. While the writer has documented several notorious killers in the past, he describes this mysterious figure as the most horrifying criminal mind ever encountered. As the police fail to track the killer, the government bans the explosive book titled M for M, written by the renowned Vasudev.</p>
<p>The narrative quickly shifts gears when, during the shoot of a film, a reigning superstar is brutally murdered under mysterious circumstances. The shocking killing shakes the entire industry and becomes the center of a high-profile investigation. Crime investigative journalist Radha, portrayed brilliantly by Jo Sharma, steps into the case to uncover the truth behind the murder of superstar Ranjit. Meanwhile, the police investigation is led by Krishna, played by Sambeet Acharya, who also shares an emotional connection with Radha.</p>
<p>As the investigation progresses, the post-mortem findings leave everyone stunned. The murdered body is artistically designed to resemble a legendary painting before being abandoned. From this point onward, the film transforms into a gripping psychological thriller loaded with unpredictable twists, dark secrets, and nerve-racking suspense. Every murder committed by the psychopath follows the exact visual pattern of iconic paintings, creating an eerie cinematic atmosphere that keeps viewers constantly on edge.</p>
<p>The screenplay smartly builds tension layer by layer. Journalist Radha discovers that every murder mirrors the crimes described in the banned novel Motive for Murder. This revelation adds a fascinating literary-crime angle to the narrative. While the police struggle to understand the killer&rsquo;s psychology, Radha dives deeper into the mystery and establishes a shocking connection between the murders and the controversial book. The killer eventually turns the investigation into a deadly game by openly challenging the police before committing each crime, escalating the intensity of the narrative dramatically.</p>
<h2>Jo Sharma Owns the Film with Commanding Screen Presence</h2>
<p>Jo Sharma is undoubtedly the soul of M4M - Motive For Murder. As crime journalist Radha, she delivers a performance filled with conviction, intensity, and emotional depth. Her screen presence is magnetic, and she carries the film on her shoulders with remarkable confidence. Whether it is her investigative sequences, emotional confrontations, or high-voltage suspense moments, Jo Sharma dominates every frame with complete authority.</p>
<p>Her body language, dialogue delivery, facial expressions, and natural acting elevate the film to another level altogether. She perfectly captures the fearless spirit of an investigative journalist while also portraying emotional vulnerability with maturity. In several crucial scenes, Jo Sharma&rsquo;s performance gives the film a cinematic edge rarely seen in contemporary suspense thrillers. This performance firmly establishes her as an actress with tremendous potential and strong command over intense dramatic roles.</p>
<p>Sambeet Acharya complements the narrative effectively, while the supporting cast, including Subhaleka Sudhakar, delivers sincere performances that strengthen the film&rsquo;s suspense-driven atmosphere.</p>
<h2>Direction</h2>
<p>Director Mohan Vadlapatla deserves appreciation for crafting a slick and engaging murder mystery with strong cinematic treatment. He successfully creates a haunting atmosphere filled with psychological tension and keeps the suspense alive throughout the film. The storytelling remains sharp and intriguing, while the screenplay consistently maintains audience curiosity.</p>
<p>The director has also presented Jo Sharma&rsquo;s character in a highly impactful and cinematic manner, ensuring that the audience remains emotionally invested in Radha&rsquo;s journey until the final revelation. The visual presentation of murders inspired by famous paintings adds uniqueness and artistic depth to the thriller.</p>
<h2>Final Verdict</h2>
<p>M4M Movie is declared a super hit movie as its getting high praises and reviews from audience and film industry.&nbsp;<br />Originally made in Telugu and simultaneously released in Hindi and other languages, M4M - Motive For Murder emerges as an engaging psychological crime thriller packed with suspense, mystery, and cinematic intensity. The film keeps audiences guessing till the climax and delivers several gripping moments throughout its runtime.</p>
<p>What truly makes the film stand out is Jo Sharma&rsquo;s commanding and career-defining performance. Her portrayal of Radha is powerful, convincing, and thoroughly captivating. With M4M - Motive For Murder, Jo Sharma proves that she is not just another actress, but a performer capable of carrying a suspense thriller entirely on her shoulders. This film undoubtedly announces the arrival of a promising new talent in Indian cinema.</p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], May 8: </strong>India&rsquo;s renewable energy sector is transitioning into a more execution-driven phase, moving beyond&nbsp;headline&nbsp;capacity addition&nbsp;numbers with sharper focus on&nbsp;system-level optimisation, reliability and integrated power delivery, according to&nbsp;Hindustan Power Chairman&nbsp;<a href="https://ratul-puri-hindustan-power.mailchimpsites.com/"><u><strong>Ratul&nbsp;Puri</strong></u></a>. This shift reflects a broader evolution in the sector, where the emphasis is no longer solely on adding capacity, but on ensuring that projects are delivered efficiently and perform consistently over the long term.</p><p>&nbsp;&ldquo;India&rsquo;s renewable energy sector is&nbsp;now maturing where it is not merely about adding capacity but ensuring that projects are delivered on ground with focus on&nbsp;round-the-clock delivery,&rdquo;&nbsp;said Puri.&nbsp;</p><p>While solar and wind capacities have scaled significantly, on-ground execution continues to face structural challenges. Issues such as land acquisition, tenancy constraints and forest clearances are affecting project timelines and slowing progress across multiple&nbsp;levels. At the same time, delays in transmission infrastructure have impacted over 50 GW of renewable capacity under development, highlighting the importance of grid readiness alongside generation growth and the need for more coordinated planning.</p><p>The sector is also witnessing delays due to unsigned Power Sale Agreements (PSAs), driven by changing procurement strategies among DISCOMs and large&nbsp;offtakers. These challenges underline the need for stronger alignment between policy, infrastructure and execution, ensuring that projects are not held back by contractual or procedural uncertainties.</p><p>In parallel, India&rsquo;s battery energy storage system (BESS) market is shifting from aggressive tendering to execution-led deployment. Despite approximately 102 GWh of tenders issued in 2025, only about 0.7 GWh has been commissioned, reflecting a clear gap between bidding and implementation,</p><p>Highlighting this,&nbsp;<a href="https://ratulpuri.mobirisesite.com/"><u>Ratul</u><u>Puri</u></a>&nbsp;stated that &ldquo;the gap between aggressive tendering and actual commissioning highlights a structural shift&nbsp;where&nbsp;success in this market will now be defined by execution capability, not just bidding strength.&rdquo;</p><p>Tariff compression has supported adoption but has also tightened margins, increasing the importance of&nbsp;well capitalised and serious bidders,&nbsp;lifecycle-based project evaluation, disciplined execution and supply chain readiness.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<p><strong>New Delhi [India], May 8:</strong> In an era where speed often dictates lifestyle choices, the modern consumer faces a daily challenge: how to save time without compromising health, taste, or authenticity. Across homes, offices, hostels, and international households, millions of people are searching for meals that fit demanding schedules while still delivering nourishment and comfort. Yet the ready-to-eat food category has long struggled with one persistent perception&mdash;that convenience usually comes at the cost of quality.</p><p>For years, consumers have had to choose between two extremes. On one side were time-consuming traditional meals that required planning, preparation, and effort. On the other side were fast meal options that often relied on preservatives, artificial ingredients, excessive sodium, or compromised flavor profiles. This gap in the market created a clear need for a new standard&mdash;one where convenience could coexist with authenticity and quality.</p><p>That is precisely where Ziply5 has begun to make a powerful impact. Under the leadership of Siddhardha Nallamothu, Managing Director of Ziply5, the brand is emerging as a serious disruptor in India&rsquo;s evolving food convenience segment by proving that ready-to-eat meals do not need to sacrifice soul, tradition, or trust.</p><p>Rather than entering the market with just another packaged food line, Ziply5 has positioned itself around a more meaningful promise: authentic Indian meals, prepared with traditional inspiration, free from unnecessary shortcuts, and ready within minutes. This is not merely product innovation&mdash;it is category correction.</p><p>The Indian consumer today is more informed than ever before. They read labels. They compare ingredients. They care about nutritional value. They seek transparency from brands. They want products that respect their palate as much as their schedule. In this environment, brands that rely only on flashy packaging or convenience claims are unlikely to earn long-term loyalty. Consumers now demand substance.</p><p>Ziply5 appears to understand this shift deeply. Its ready-to-eat portfolio focuses on preservative-free meal solutions, no added MSG, no artificial colors, and flavor experiences rooted in familiar Indian recipes. This combination addresses one of the most significant unmet needs in the market: trust-based convenience.</p><p>When people consume ready meals regularly, trust becomes more important than novelty. Consumers want to know what they are eating, how it was made, and whether it aligns with their long-term well-being. Ziply5&rsquo;s focus on ingredient integrity helps build that confidence.</p><p>At the same time, the brand does not ignore the emotional role food plays in Indian life. In India, meals are not transactional&mdash;they are cultural, familial, and deeply personal. Taste memories are tied to kitchens, festivals, mothers, grandmothers, and regional traditions. That is why many convenience products fail: they solve for time, but not for emotional satisfaction.</p><p>Ziply5 addresses both.</p><p>Its offerings such as Veg Biryani, Chicken Biryani, Pongal, Semiya Upma, Sambar Rice, Palak Chicken Rice, and Prawn Biryani reflect a product strategy rooted in familiarity and diversity. These are not random SKUs designed for shelf expansion. They are dishes people already love, now adapted for modern lifestyles without losing their recognizable identity.</p><p>This matters because food adoption happens faster when brands respect consumer memory. People are more willing to embrace convenience when it tastes like something they already trust.</p><p>From a business perspective, Ziply5 is operating at the intersection of several high-growth consumer trends. The first is urban time scarcity. Professionals increasingly work longer hours, commute more, and have less time for cooking. The second is nuclear family living, where fewer people share household cooking responsibilities. The third is global mobility, with students and professionals living away from home. The fourth is rising demand for clean-label packaged foods.</p><p>Any brand that successfully serves all four trends simultaneously holds strong long-term market potential. Ziply5 is positioning itself exactly there.</p><p>The company&rsquo;s relevance extends beyond Indian metros. Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities are also seeing changing food consumption patterns, with growing acceptance of premium convenience products. Meanwhile, the Indian diaspora worldwide remains emotionally connected to authentic Indian meals but often lacks time or access to cook them daily. For these audiences, a trusted ready-to-eat Indian brand can become a lifestyle staple rather than an occasional purchase.</p><p>What further strengthens Ziply5&rsquo;s authority is the philosophy articulated by Siddhardha Nallamothu. His vision suggests that convenience should not replace tradition&mdash;it should intelligently carry it forward. That distinction is critical. Many food brands modernize by abandoning heritage. Stronger brands modernize by preserving what matters and upgrading what does not.</p><p>In practical terms, Ziply5 seems to have fast-forwarded only the preparation time, not the culinary intent. That is a far more sustainable model than simply industrializing recipes into generic products.</p><p>There is also a strong operational advantage in building products around authentic Indian cuisine. India&rsquo;s culinary diversity allows room for regional expansion, premiumization, festive variants, health-forward versions, and export potential. A brand that earns trust in core meals today can evolve into a much larger food ecosystem tomorrow.</p><p>Beyond retail and individual consumption, Ziply5 is also expanding its relevance into the HORECA sector&mdash;covering hotels, restaurants, caf&eacute;s, and catering services. This is a segment where operational efficiency and consistency are critical challenges. Establishments frequently deal with rising labor costs, peak-hour demand surges, food wastage, and the need to maintain consistent taste across multiple service cycles.</p><p>Ziply5&rsquo;s preservative-free ready-to-eat meals, which can be prepared within 3&ndash;5 minutes using minimal heating or hot water, provide a practical solution in such environments. Businesses can expand their menus with well-loved Indian dishes like biryani, pongal, sambar rice, or paneer-based meals without heavy dependence on skilled kitchen staff or large infrastructure.</p><p>In buffet setups, these products allow faster replenishment, better portion control, and reduced wastage. For hotels, they can serve as efficient breakfast or in-room dining options. For restaurants, they can support staff meals or backup during high-demand hours. In large-scale catering scenarios&mdash;such as corporate events, weddings, and institutional functions&mdash;Ziply5 enables consistent quality at scale while optimizing cost and time.</p><p>This positions Ziply5 not just as a consumer-facing brand, but as a strategic partner for HORECA businesses aiming to balance authenticity with speed, hygiene, and operational efficiency.</p><p>Importantly, Ziply5&rsquo;s story also reflects a wider shift in Indian entrepreneurship. New-age founders are no longer copying western convenience models blindly. Instead, they are building Indian-first products for Indian realities. They understand that local taste preferences, cultural food behavior, and emotional eating patterns cannot be ignored.</p><p><br><br>That founder-led authenticity often becomes a brand&rsquo;s biggest advantage. Siddhardha Nallamothu&rsquo;s stated inspiration from his mother&rsquo;s kitchen reinforces that this is not a purely commercial exercise&mdash;it is a consumer problem being solved through personal conviction. Markets respond strongly when brands are built from lived truth rather than manufactured positioning.</p><p>As the ready-to-eat category becomes more competitive, only a few brands will command lasting authority. Those winners will likely share common traits: credibility, product consistency, emotional resonance, ingredient trust, and relevance to modern life. Ziply5 appears to be building across all five pillars.</p><p>The broader message is clear. Convenience food no longer has to mean compromise. Ready meals no longer need to feel artificial. Traditional Indian dishes no longer need to remain trapped in time-intensive formats.</p><p>Ziply5 is helping reshape consumer expectations by showing that fast can still be authentic, packaged can still be trustworthy, and modern can still feel like home.</p><p>That is more than a product success story. It is the emergence of a new benchmark for India&rsquo;s ready-to-eat future.</p><p>To explore the brand&rsquo;s growing range of meal solutions, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ziply5.com/"><u>https://www.ziply5.com/</u></a>&nbsp;and experience how tradition is being reimagined for today&rsquo;s world.</p><p><strong>Products are available on Ziply5 website and Amazon</strong></p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 27</strong>: A New-Age Psychological Thriller Makes Waves in the Indie Short Film Circuit</p><p>The Indian indie cinema industry continues to push creative boundaries, with the latest notable addition being &ldquo;The Tangled Minds&rdquo;, a compelling psychological thriller Written, Directed, and Produced by Mahir Kumbhakoni under his banner, Pouranic Pulse Productions, the short film is garnering acclaim for its intricate storytelling, intense narrative, and polished technical execution. The film highlights the increasing demand for intelligent, content-driven cinema in today&rsquo;s digital-first era.</p><p>The film features a compelling cast of Meera Joshi, Ishita Ganguly, and Saurabh Gokhale, each bringing unique skills to the project. Meera Joshi excels in conveying emotions, making her character&rsquo;s journey relatable through nuanced performance. Ishita Ganguly adds depth with her dynamic range, serving as the emotional anchor and enhancing the narrative through complex interactions. Saurabh Gokhale delivers a powerful portrayal, balancing intensity and sensitivity, and his character&rsquo;s authenticity captivates viewers. The chemistry among these actors enriches the film&rsquo;s narrative, exploring themes of love, betrayal, and redemption. Their performances elevate the storytelling, ensuring a memorable cinematic experience and solidifying the film&rsquo;s place in contemporary cinema.</p><p><strong>Behind the Scenes: A Strong Technical Backbone</strong></p><p>Executive Producer, Swati Bhat spearheads the execution of the film, ensuring the seamless translation of its creative vision onto the screen. Her leadership is pivotal in managing logistics, budgets, and schedules, thereby maintaining efficiency and cohesion across departments.</p><p>Cinematographer, Gaurav Kulkarni establishes the film&rsquo;s visual tone through meticulously composed frames and a striking use of light and shadow.</p><p>Krishna Lal Chandani and Devendra Guha,the music duo creates an atmospheric score that amplifies suspense and emotional intensity.</p><p><strong>A Premiere That Signalled Industry Suppor</strong>t</p><p>The premiere of The Tangled Minds was attended by a distinguished array of figures from the Indian film industry.

Their presence at the event was more than ceremonial</p><p><strong>Mahir Kumbhakoni: A Filmmaker to Watch</strong></p><p>With The Tangled Minds, Mahir Kumbhakoni announces himself as a serious talent in the Indian indie film space. The film demonstrates not just technical ambition but storytelling maturity; a rare combination in debut or early-career work. What sets Mr. Kumbhakoni apart is his understanding of restraint. Psychological thrillers can easily tip into melodrama or rely on cheap suspense mechanics. The Tangled Minds does neither. The tension is earned scene by scene, character by character, and the film&rsquo;s emotional impact is the result of sustained craft rather than isolated moments of shock.</p><p><strong>Short Film, Big Impact</strong></p><p>The Tangled Minds is part of a growing wave of high-quality short films emerging from India&rsquo;s independent cinema ecosystem. As streaming platforms and digital distribution lower the barriers to reaching audiences, short-format storytelling is experiencing a genuine renaissance. Films like The Tangled Minds prove that the format is not a stepping stone to &ldquo;real&rdquo; filmmaking; it is a legitimate, powerful medium in its own right. The film is anticipated to participate in national and international film festivals in the upcoming months. It exemplifies his unique style and underscores the potential of independent Indian cinema to compete globally.</p><p>&ndash; Swati Bhat</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 28:</strong>&nbsp;Dosti Realty, a leading real estate brand known for delivering exceptional residential experiences and premium lifestyle developments across MMR and Pune, has launched&nbsp;<em><strong>&lsquo;Dosti Zindagi Se&rsquo;</strong></em>, a landmark corporate brand campaign that signals a strategic evolution for the group. More than just a tagline, the campaign articulates Dosti&rsquo;s core belief: that real estate isn&rsquo;t about constructing buildings, but about nurturing the human experience.&nbsp;</p><p>Rooted in the profound philosophy of&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;Happiness, Not Just Joy,&rdquo;</strong>&nbsp;&lsquo;Dosti Zindagi Se&rsquo; marks Dosti Realty&rsquo;s shift toward a more premium, design-centric positioning.

It reflects our intent to contribute meaningfully to how people live, connect, and grow. We are no longer just developers of physical spaces; we are curators of life experiences. This campaign captures the emotional depth of the relationships we share with our homeowners, moving beyond the functional to the intuitive and enduring. At Dosti, we have always built relationships as meticulously as we build residences.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p><p>Ms Shraddha Goradia, Director, Dosti Realty adds, &ldquo;There is a certain warmth that turns a space into a home &ndash; something you can&rsquo;t always see, but you can always feel. With &lsquo;Dosti Zindagi Se&rsquo;, we are trying to capture that emotion. It&rsquo;s about creating spaces that hold memories, nurture relationships, and offer a sense of calm in an otherwise fast-moving world. Because in the end, what people truly seek is not just a beautiful home, but a meaningful life within it.</p><p><strong>Portfolio-Wide Integration</strong></p><p>This philosophy is reflected across Dosti Realty&rsquo;s portfolio. From premium, well-connected developments in the island city that include Dosti Eastern Bay at Wadala and Dosti Mezzo 22 &nbsp;at Sion to expansive, future-ready communities in Thane like Dosti West County and Dosti Greater Thane, each project is designed with a clear focus on liveability, balance, and long-term value. It brings together considered planning, seamless connectivity, and a true sense of community.</p><p><strong>The Road Ahead</strong></p><p>As it looks ahead, Dosti Realty is set to expand its footprint with over 21 million square feet of upcoming developments across residences, schools, commercial spaces, retail hubs, and IT parks.

<p><strong>Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], May 2:</strong> Following the massive success of the teaser and the buzz across social media, the official trailer of &lsquo;Dharpakad&rsquo; &ndash; India&rsquo;s first Gujarati feature film based on the &lsquo;Digital Arrest&rsquo; scam has been released. The trailer sheds light on a chilling aspect of modern-day cybercrime that is bound to strike fear into the hearts of the common man. Presented by Indira Motion Pictures and November Films, the movie is scheduled for a grand theatrical release on May 15, 2026.</p><p>The trailer depicts how a normal family&rsquo;s world is turned upside down when they receive a phone call stating, &ldquo;Your son Arjun has been arrested.&rdquo; It begins by explaining that the internet is a vast web where we willingly share our personal data, which scammers exploit to identify their targets. The sequences showing fake calls made in the name of the police, the helplessness of being trapped within one&rsquo;s own home, and the daylight robbery of lakhs of rupees under the guise of a &ldquo;Digital Arrest&rdquo; are truly bone-chilling. Mallhar Thakar plays the role of a man who steps up to hunt down these invisible scammers, declaring, &ldquo;This isn&rsquo;t just a small theft; this is a very big game.&rdquo;<br><br>Director Anish Shah has woven more than just mystery into this crime thriller; he effectively portrays the helplessness and raw emotions of a middle-class family. The fresh pairing of Mallhar Thakar and Shruhad Goswami serves as a major highlight, backed by powerful performances from veteran actors like Prashant Barot, Pratik Rathod, and Jay Bhatt, who add significant depth to the narrative.</p><p>After watching the trailer, audiences are left with a burning question: Will the family be able to escape this intricate web of deceit? Beyond entertainment, the core objective of the film is to spread social awareness.</p><p>&lsquo;Dharpakad&rsquo; is not just a cinematic experience; it is a vital warning for every smartphone user.</p><p>Expected to be a turning point for Gujarati cinema, the film arrives in theatres on May 15.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><em>A Small-Town Story. A Big Dream. A Powerful Journey.</em></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 2:</strong> The much-awaited inspirational Hindi film Drop Out is all set to hit cinemas on 29th May 2026, bringing audiences a deeply moving and thought-provoking story of ambition, resilience, and self-belief. Rooted in realism yet elevated by emotion, the film captures the silent battles faced by countless young individuals navigating expectations, failures, and the pursuit of identity.</p><p>At its core, Drop Out explores the consequences of misguided academic choices, the burden of family expectations, and the relentless pressure imposed by society. It also sheds light on the often fragile and misunderstood dynamics of teacher&ndash;student relationships. Yet, amidst these challenges, the film celebrates the unwavering support of family and friends&mdash;reminding us that hope often survives in the most difficult circumstances.</p><p>Directed by debutant&nbsp;<strong>Omkar Pethkar</strong>&nbsp;and produced by&nbsp;<strong>Umashanker Yadav</strong>, the film is set in rural Uttar Pradesh of the 1980s. It follows the journey of a gifted young boy who finds himself labeled and limited by a system that fails to understand his potential. Refusing to be defined by conventional standards of success, he embarks on a courageous path to reclaim his dreams and rewrite his destiny.</p><p><strong>Fresh Faces. Powerful Performances.</strong></p><p>The film introduces promising young talents&nbsp;<strong>Tanushka Sharma</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Uday Singh</strong>&nbsp;in lead roles, delivering performances marked by sincerity and emotional depth. They are ably supported by veteran actors&nbsp;<strong>Rajendra Gupta</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Mushtaq Khan</strong>, whose nuanced portrayals add authenticity and gravitas to the narrative.</p><p><strong>Music That Resonates.</strong></p><p>The music of Drop Out, released by&nbsp;<strong>Shemaroo</strong>, has already begun to connect with listeners. Composed by&nbsp;<strong>Prjval&ndash;Param</strong>, with soulful vocals by&nbsp;<strong>Arun Dev Yadav</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Soumee Sailesh</strong>, and meaningful lyrics by&nbsp;<strong>Dr. Sagar</strong>, the soundtrack complements the film&rsquo;s emotional journey and enhances its storytelling.</p><p><strong>A Strong Creative Ensemble.</strong></p><p>The film features a talented supporting cast including&nbsp;<strong>Sandeep Yadav, Naval Shukla, Preeti Chahan, Amlesh Jaiswal, Sumit Shrivastava,</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Shashank Shukla</strong>, among others. Producer&nbsp;<strong>Umashanker Yadav</strong>&nbsp;also appears in a significant role.</p><p>Behind the scenes, the film is elevated by cinematographer&nbsp;<strong>Indrajeet Kumar</strong>, editor&nbsp;<strong>Rahul Rajput</strong>, executive producer&nbsp;<strong>Vivek Yadav</strong>, and digital processing by&nbsp;<strong>Prashant Dhotre</strong>, ensuring a visually rich and emotionally engaging cinematic experience.</p><p><strong>A Story That Reflects Reality.</strong></p><p>Crafted from a deeply personal and socially relevant perspective, the story by&nbsp;<strong>Umashanker Yadav</strong>, along with screenplay and dialogues by&nbsp;<strong>Omkar Pethkar</strong>, is designed to resonate with audiences across generations. It is a narrative that not only entertains but also provokes introspection about how society defines intelligence, success, and worth.</p><p><strong>Why It Matters.</strong></p><p>In a world driven by marks, ranks, and rigid expectations, Drop Out dares to ask a simple yet powerful question&mdash;what if success is not what we have been taught to believe? The film stands as a tribute to every individual who has ever felt underestimated, misunderstood, or left behind.</p><p>Drop Out is not just a film&mdash;it is an emotion, a mirror to society, and a celebration of courage. It speaks directly to today&rsquo;s youth while reminding audiences of all ages that failure is not the end, but often the beginning of something extraordinary.</p><p>In Cinemas | 29th May 2026</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DPvhwaskvSL">https://www.instagram.com/p/DPvhwaskvSL</a></p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<p>The organizers of the International Level
 Fashion Hub (<a href="https://www.ilfh.in/">ILFH</a>) have confirmed the selection of runway participants 
for Chapter 13, with the Grand Finale set for 17 May 2026.
 The announcement, made across the platform's official social media 
channels, formally closes the talent selection phase and launches a 
public reveal campaign ahead of the high-profile event.</p><p>Selected participants are being 
introduced individually through the ILFH official Instagram handle, 
giving each emerging talent their first moment of public recognition 
before taking to the runway. The rolling-reveal approach, which 
organizers say is a deliberate strategy to build community engagement, 
allows fashion enthusiasts and industry stakeholders to follow each 
participant's journey in the lead-up to the finale.</p><p>The platform is helmed by fashion mentor and industry figure Anup Choudhary
 (@anupchoudhary_official), who has developed a reputation for providing
 emerging models with structured, professional pathways into the 
competitive fashion industry. Event production is managed by A. Infinity Takeovers (@a.infinitytakeovers), a production group with a track record in high-format fashion events.</p><p>The event is backed by a consortium of sector-specific partners. Mumkins.in serves as the title power partner, providing operational backing. The Trade International
 (@thetradeinternational) is designated as the official hospitality 
partner, responsible for guest and participant experience. Academic 
credibility is lent by Ellen College of Design
 (@ellencollegeofdesign), the event's fashion institute partner, which 
brings formal design education and industry mentorship to the program. 
Digital outreach is managed by <a href="https://www.sangriinternet.in/">Sangri Internet</a>, the official digital partner overseeing the event's online presence and audience expansion.</p><p>With nine days remaining until the 
Grand Finale, selected runway stars are expected to enter an intensive 
preparation phase encompassing final styling approvals, choreography 
rehearsals, and media interactions. Industry observers familiar with the
 ILFH format note that the platform distinguishes itself through a 
structured process rather than spectacle alone &mdash; an approach that has 
earned it credibility among both talent scouts and established fashion 
houses active in the regional circuit.</p><p>ILFH Chapter 13's selection process
 was not publicly detailed in the announcement, but organizers confirmed
 that each selected participant underwent a formal evaluation prior to 
confirmation. The finale is expected to draw professionals from styling,
 photography, brand management, and media &mdash; sectors that traditionally 
scout talent at curated runway events of this nature.</p><p>Followers can track individual 
participant reveals via the ILFH official Instagram account. Further 
details on venue, schedule, and registration for industry guests are 
expected to be released in the days preceding the 17 May event.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Papparazzi Entertainment Company successfully unveiled the much-anticipated first look of MANIKANDAN: THE LAST AVATAR on May 3, 2026, at the sacred grounds of Vennala Thykkatt Sri Mahadeva Temple, Ernakulam, Kerala.</p>
<p>The grand reveal, held recently witnessed an electrifying response from audiences, in the presence of prominent personalities from the worlds of cinema and politics. The event marked not just a launch, but the ignition of a cinematic movement.</p>
<p>MANIKANDAN: THE LAST AVATAR stands as a bold, visionary leap into the future of storytelling &mdash; where mythology, emotion, and artificial intelligence converge at an unprecedented scale.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjewT-xvsiowOVZ30Ym-ZvxqAXUjX9NJFI5hyphenhyphenxHryk_G0ZMmwBowA6QJXpJdbBs5HFWlcfqib9BFpN8Op79FMES5EPF8kNXcsdSwhEU-vsj4f_dg4qUeSFTp3EwM7LaTUtMRQgrMMFSc5P_PQwNo4_Ce4KLBt2lSKCSANlzKwSoluJIBvUaUhaBPmK7NLU/w640-h350/MANIKANDAN%202.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="350" /></p>
<p>Set in a world governed by logic, where human emotion is deemed inefficient and faith has faded into silence, the film introduces Manikandan &mdash; a man shaped in stillness, alongside seven warriors raised within the disciplined shadows of a gurukul under the enigmatic Guru. As systems tighten their grip on humanity, he rises not as a savior, but as an anomaly &mdash; something no machine can decode.</p>
<p>Rooted in Indian philosophy and echoing a truth that stretches back 5000 years, the film confronts a haunting and deeply relevant question of life.</p>
<p>More than a film, it is an immersive cinematic experience exploring identity, consciousness, love, and the cost of progress &mdash; asking<br />Is humanity evolving&hellip; or quietly being rewritten?</p>
<p>What sets the project apart is its pioneering integration of Artificial Intelligence across the filmmaking process &mdash; from scripting and visual creation to post-production &mdash; while preserving a deeply human emotional core. The result is a seamless fusion of soul and system.</p>
<p>The film delivers high-intensity action inspired by ancient Indian martial philosophies, paired with a powerful soundscape that blends meditative depth with futuristic intensity &mdash; creating a cinematic language that is both rooted and universal.</p>
<p>Ajinkya Jadhav, of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DX4Gqr0IKv2/?igsh=MXdxcWt1eXBsOXhzdA==">Papparazzi Entertainment Company</a>, stated &ldquo;The response to the first look has been overwhelming. This is just the beginning of something far bigger.&rdquo;<br />With the first look now unveiled and momentum building, MANIKANDAN: THE LAST AVATAR is set to take center stage globally. Worldwide Theatrical Release: May 29, 2026<br />Releasing in five languages, the film aims to transcend borders, delivering a cinematic experience driven by emotion, scale, and innovation. In a world run by logic&hellip; one man is beyond calculation.</p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], April 25:</strong> For years, solo travel in India meant just two things. You were either the spiritual type heading to the Himalayas for some grand awakening, or you were a heartbroken Bollywood lead, trying to outrun your problems. It was all or nothing&mdash;something you did only when life knocked you sideways. If things were fine, why leave on your own?</p><p>But something&rsquo;s shifting now. Walk into any hostel in Varkala, grab a coffee in Rishikesh, and the mood is different. There&rsquo;s a 23-year-old coder from Bengaluru, clacking away on their laptop, a marketing manager from Delhi with a one-way ticket in their pocket, an artist from Mumbai sketching by the window. None of them are hunting for lost pieces of themselves. Nobody ran away from a dramatic love story gone wrong.</p><p>They&rsquo;re just traveling solo because, plain and simple, they need a reset. For Gen Z, it&rsquo;s not about escape. It&rsquo;s about making small changes, catching their breath, clearing the noise.</p><p><strong>The Fixed Life Is Over</strong></p><p>It&rsquo;s just different now. For earlier generations, life came with a ready-made template&mdash;secure job, same group of friends, a roadmap laid out with marriage and your own place as milestones. For Gen Z? Those landmarks have faded. Remote jobs, gig work, friendships that exist half online, half in real life. Where you physically are doesn&rsquo;t matter as much anymore.</p><p>But that kind of freedom brings a lot of uncertainty. When nothing&rsquo;s solid, it&rsquo;s easy to feel a little lost. That&rsquo;s why traveling solo works. There&rsquo;s no endless group chat negotiations, no waiting around for someone to finally say yes. You decide, book, and just go. With so much out of their control&mdash;jobs, climate, the economy&mdash;Gen Z grabs onto the few decisions that actually belong to them. What do you eat today? Where do you go next? That&rsquo;s real agency.</p><p><strong>Control Is the Real Luxury</strong></p><p>Let&rsquo;s face it&mdash;living in India means constantly compromising. You&rsquo;re bargaining with your parents about your career, roommates about splitting bills, coworkers about deadlines. Traveling with friends just adds more: where to eat, what to do, when to wake up.</p><p>Travel alone, and all of that melts away. Suddenly, you get a break from all the negotiating. Want to sit by the river in Kasol doing nothing? Go for it. Find a museum boring? Walk out after five minutes&mdash;no awkward explanations. This kind of solitude is rare here. And for Gen Z, it&rsquo;s not really about the destination. It&rsquo;s about finally ditching everyone else&rsquo;s expectations.</p><p><strong>The Illusion of Disconnection</strong></p><p>People like to say that travel is about unplugging. But Gen Z knows that&rsquo;s not really the aim. They aren&rsquo;t trying to disappear&mdash;they want to connect, just on their own rules.</p><p>They keep their phones on. The Instagram stories don&rsquo;t stop. Slack pings sometimes, too. They&rsquo;re not &ldquo;failing&rdquo; at some ideal version of travel&mdash;they&rsquo;re making it safer. Staying connected means they worry less and can wander further. They travel alone, but their friends, family, work&mdash;it&rsquo;s all right there in their pockets. Just enough connection to feel secure, not so much that they feel trapped.</p><p><strong>The Art of Short-Term Socializing</strong></p><p>Traveling solo doesn&rsquo;t mean feeling lonely. If anything, people who travel alone are often the most open.</p><p>Hostels and homestays now buzz with a different kind of energy. You meet people over shared breakfasts or on a hike, swap stories, then part ways&mdash;no pressure to keep it going. It&rsquo;s simple. It&rsquo;s honest. The drama and the obligation of endless group chats? Not here. You enjoy a moment together, then just move on. No one&rsquo;s keeping score.</p><p><strong>Getting Around Safety</strong></p><p>Safety is still a big deal, especially for women. But solo travelers have new tools.</p><p>They trust real-time reviews, pick verified places to stay, share their location, join women-only groups, find safe-certified homestays. Is India completely safe now? No. But Gen Z knows how to handle risk better. The desire to be independent finally wins over the old fears.</p><p><strong>This Is the Plan, Not a Phase</strong></p><p>This isn&rsquo;t just a trend that Gen Z will drop at thirty. It&rsquo;s how they&rsquo;re shaping their lives. Experiences matter more than buying things. Flexibility means more than quick stability.</p><p>Solo trips are like practice runs. It&rsquo;s where they learn to draw boundaries, not break the bank, be alone yet not lonely. It doesn&rsquo;t magically fix everything. But in all that chaos, it helps&mdash;a little pocket of clarity where every move is up to them.</p><p>Really, that&rsquo;s the heart of it. Gen Z in India isn&rsquo;t out there on their own because they&rsquo;re avoiding people or life. They travel solo because, in a world packed with noise and compromise, it&rsquo;s the one way they can truly hear themselves&mdash;they get to figure out what really matters.</p><p><strong><a href="https://pnndigital.com/category/lifestyle/">PNN Lifestyle</a></strong></p><p></p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], April 25:</strong> We&rsquo;ve always thought of communication as something that can be learned. Speak better. Listen more. Choose the right words. The idea is that quality comes from practice &ndash; the more you polish, the more you clarify.</p><p>It works.</p><p>Until it doesn&rsquo;t.</p><p>Because most communication doesn&rsquo;t break down at the level of language. It fails before it gets to the level of the sentence. It&rsquo;s not the words. It&rsquo;s alignment &ndash; between the message you want to send, the message you send, and what the other person can receive.</p><p>This gap has widened recently. Work has accelerated. Dialogues are conducted electronically, often anonymously. Communications are more succinct, responses more immediate, attention spans shorter. It doesn&rsquo;t allow for lengthy explanations. It requires brevity.</p><p>This alters people&rsquo;s speech.</p><p>This should make for more efficient communication. But it can make it disjointed. They react before they think. They talk to finish, not to explain. And gradually, it becomes a habit &ndash; more words, less meaning.</p><p>This is where the notion of &ldquo;effective communication&rdquo; begins to change.</p><p>It&rsquo;s not about being wellspoken. It&rsquo;s about removing barriers. Making it easier for someone else to understand your thinking. That sounds simple. It isn&rsquo;t.</p><p>Because clarity requires decisions.</p><p>What to include. What to leave out. Where to stop.</p><p>Most people struggle with that. Not for a lack of ideas, but because they don&rsquo;t believe less is enough. So they provide more context, more explanation, more justification. The message gets longer, but not clearer.</p><p>And then there&rsquo;s the other side.</p><p>Listening.</p><p>We talk of listening as being a passive skill &ndash; listen, don&rsquo;t talk. But there is a different kind of activity in listening. It involves interpretation. Separating content from context. Not reacting immediately.</p><p>That&rsquo;s harder than speaking.</p><p>Particularly in contexts where faster is better. Where silence is thought to be a lack of confidence. So people fill the space. They speak quickly, even if they don&rsquo;t always have the right words.</p><p>This builds over time. The speed of conversations increases, but comprehension does not.</p><p>This is where we begin to feel communication is inefficient, though it may be frequent.</p><p>The shift isn&rsquo;t huge. It&rsquo;s structural.</p><p>Clear communicators do a couple of things, but not in the obvious way. They think before they talk. They pre-plan what they want to say, for even brief exchanges. And they assume less. They assume that the other person will not fill in the blanks.</p><p>That changes how it sounds.</p><p>And it changes how it&rsquo;s processed.</p><p>Because clarity makes it easier for people to process information. They don&rsquo;t need to interpret or interpret. They can respond directly.</p><p>That&rsquo;s how communication is effective, not when it sounds good, but when it is frictionless.</p><p>There&rsquo;s a trade-off here.</p><p>Clarity is sometimes directness. And directness can be uncomfortable. It takes away the fuzziness that can save relationships. It allows less wiggle room.</p><p>So people soften their language. They add qualifiers. They hedge.</p><p>It feels safer.</p><p>But it also creates doubt.</p><p>Most communication is a balance between clarity and comfort. Too much clarity and it can seem abrupt. Too much comfort and it becomes watered down.</p><p>There&rsquo;s no simple answer to that. It depends on the context.</p><p>What is constant is that you need intent.</p><p>What&rsquo;s the purpose of saying it? What is your message? If you don&rsquo;t know, it&rsquo;s not clear.</p><p>And this is where it goes wrong.</p><p>Not in delivery. In definition.</p><p>People don&rsquo;t fail to communicate because they can&rsquo;t talk. It fails because they haven&rsquo;t decided what&rsquo;s important in what they&rsquo;re saying.</p><p>Once they have, the rest usually follows.</p><p>Not perfectly. But enough.</p><p>And that&rsquo;s usually all it needs.</p><p><strong><a href="https://pnndigital.com/category/lifestyle/">PNN Lifestyle</a></strong></p><p></p>

<p><em><strong>Stop overthinking conversations</strong></em></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], April 25:</strong> We often talk about improving our <a href="https://professional.dce.harvard.edu/blog/8-ways-you-can-improve-your-communication-skills/">communication</a>. Not because it&rsquo;s cool to talk about. We do it because there&rsquo;s always that moment.</p><p>You&rsquo;re about to say something. You know what you want to say. Then you adjust it. Then refine it. Then hold it back for a second too long. By the time you say it, the discussion has proceeded to another point.</p><p>The thought was just fine.</p><p>The delay ruined it.</p><p>Thinking too much doesn&rsquo;t improve communication. It interrupts it. It creates a barrier between you and the present moment, and it&rsquo;s not a required barrier. Most conversations don&rsquo;t require precision. They need presence.</p><p>That&rsquo;s where things start to change.</p><p>It&rsquo;s not that people don&rsquo;t have things to say. It&rsquo;s that they don&rsquo;t listen to themselves. So they edit on the fly. They attempt to make it better than it is. And in the process, they lose rhythm, inflection and sometimes meaning.</p><p>It&rsquo;s easy to hear when they do it. Sentences that begin firm and then fade. Words that dance around. It sounds careful. It doesn&rsquo;t always sound assured.</p><p>Conversational confidence doesn&rsquo;t come from precise wording. It comes from continuity. Speaking, and continuing without editing.</p><p>That requires a different kind of focus.</p><p>Not inward. Outward.</p><p>If you are focusing on yourself, your voice, how you are coming across, the conversation will slow down. You are juggling two tasks (talking and assessing). That split creates hesitation.</p><p>When you focus outward, it gets easier. You listen more closely. You react to what they are saying, not what they expect. The pressure is off because you aren&rsquo;t performing. You&rsquo;re participating.</p><p>It may be small, but it affects the flow of conversations.</p><p>And there is a point when perfection is bad.</p><p>Most words aren&rsquo;t spoken to be perfect. It&rsquo;s meant to be understood. Those are different standards. The second is often interfered with by attempting to achieve the first.</p><p>So good communicators tend to be less demanding.</p><p>Not careless. Just sufficient.</p><p>They communicate what they need to in the moment. They don&rsquo;t wait to optimise it. They believe imperfections won&rsquo;t get in the way.</p><p>And they&rsquo;re usually right.</p><p>It&rsquo;s better to be right than perfect. A less-than-perfect sentence said at the right time is more valuable than a perfect sentence said too late.</p><p>That&rsquo;s where the uncertainty comes in.</p><p>Sometimes there&rsquo;s a delay between the idea and its delivery. The longer the delay, the more distortion. Doubt, self-editing, over-editing. Ultimately, the thought mutates or dies.</p><p>Closing the gap makes a difference.</p><p>You don&rsquo;t stop thinking. You just eliminate the time spent asking yourself if it is &ldquo;good enough&rdquo; to say.</p><p>Most of the time, it is.</p><p>Silence is important, but not for the reasons you might think.</p><p>It isn&rsquo;t something to be feared. It&rsquo;s something to use.</p><p>Overthinkers can feel compelled to fill the air with words, or elaborate on things. It seems to be sustaining dialogue. It usually does the opposite.</p><p>A brief pause does more. It helps organize your speech. It shows you&rsquo;re not searching for the right word. It allows you to breathe.</p><p>That space matters.</p><p>There&rsquo;s also a physical dimension to this that&rsquo;s often overlooked.</p><p>Standing, breathing, eye contact &ndash; all these things matter. They impact your speaking experience. If you are physically tense, you are mentally tense. If your breathing is ragged, your sentences are short or fragment.</p><p>steadiness in the body equals steadiness in the voice.</p><p>Not perfectly. But enough to notice.</p><p>And repetition.</p><p>The majority of people assume they will be able to deal with high-stakes conversations without practising low-stakes ones. That rarely works. Talking is situational, but speaking is not.</p><p>Fostering the skill of speaking without thinking is done through micro-interactions, micro-conversations. They create less pressure from the sentences because they don&rsquo;t feel so important.</p><p>And that&rsquo;s when speaking becomes easier.</p><p>Not because it&rsquo;s perfected, but because it&rsquo;s no longer assumed to be in need of improvement.</p><p>Ultimately, effective communication is not about saying what you should.</p><p>It comes from not getting in the way of saying it.</p><p>And once that stops, most of the problems you were trying to correct, correct themselves.</p><p><strong><a href="https://pnn.digital/category/lifestyle/">PNN Lifestyle</a></strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p><i>&nbsp;How a Kolhapur-based director is reshaping Indian historical cinema
through Rudransh and OthBrok Production</i></p><p>In an era where quick visibility often overshadows
substance, one filmmaker from Maharashtra is taking a different approach.
Mandar Kadam, professionally known as Mandarr Kaadam, is carving out a
distinctive space in Indian cinema &mdash; one defined not by hurried releases, but
by meticulous research, visual storytelling, and long-term creative vision.</p><p>As director, writer, producer, and entrepreneur behind
OthBrok Production, Kaadam represents a new generation of Indian filmmakers who
see cinema as more than entertainment. For him, it is a discipline that demands
preparation, historical rigor, and the patient construction of worlds that feel
both credible and emotionally resonant.<p></p></p><p>Kaadam's journey began far from film sets. After
completing his education at R.S. Gosavi Kalaniketan Mahavidyalaya in Kolhapur &mdash;
a respected institution for fine arts in Maharashtra &mdash; he developed what would
become the cornerstone of his filmmaking philosophy: a deep understanding of
visual composition, mood, and design.<p></p></p><p>"His background in art is not incidental to his
cinema," observes one industry colleague familiar with his work. "It
shapes how he sees every frame, every character design, every historical
costume. You can see it in the way he approaches Rudransh &mdash; this isn't
decoration. It's structure."<p></p></p><p>Before fully transitioning to cinema, Kaadam spent
formative years working in brand development and creative strategy. This phase,
often overlooked in profiles of filmmakers, proved essential in shaping his
approach to storytelling and audience engagement.<p></p></p><p>In brand development, Kaadam learned how ideas are
refined, tested, and presented to audiences. He came to understand that
creative work and commercial clarity are not opposing forces &mdash; they are two
parts of a single process. This insight would later inform how he positions his
films, builds his production house, and crafts narratives that are both
artistically serious and publicly legible.<p></p></p><p>At the center of Mandarr Kaadam's current work is
Rudransh, a historical film project developed under OthBrok Production. The
project has drawn attention not for spectacle alone, but for its insistence on
historical depth and visual authenticity.<p></p></p><p>Kaadam's approach to Rudransh reflects a filmmaker who
respects the complexity of historical storytelling. Rather than treating
history as backdrop, he treats it as structure &mdash; something that requires
consultation with scholars, examination of manuscripts, and engagement with the
decades-long work of Indian historians who have dedicated their careers to
archival research, battlefield documentation, and oral history preservation.<p></p></p><p>"There are historians in India who have spent 30,
40, even 50 years studying single events, single regions, single
dynasties," Kaadam has noted in industry conversations. "Their work
deserves to be honored in how we build these stories on screen. Historical
cinema is not just about costumes and swords. It's about credibility."<p></p></p><p>What sets Kaadam apart in the Indian independent film
landscape is his dual identity as filmmaker and entrepreneur. Through OthBrok
Production, he has built an infrastructure that allows for sustained creative
development &mdash; a rarity in an industry often dependent on project-by-project
financing.<p></p></p><p>Industry observers note that Kaadam's entrepreneurial
discipline shows in his project timelines. Where many independent filmmakers
announce projects that vanish within months, Kaadam's development of Rudransh
has been steady, methodical, and transparent about the time required to do
historical storytelling properly.<p></p></p><p>"He's not rushing to release," says a
collaborator familiar with the production. "He's building something that
can last. That's rare."<p></p></p><p>As the Indian film industry continues to expand its global
reach, filmmakers like Mandarr Kaadam represent a crucial counterbalance to the
pressure for constant output. His work suggests that there is space &mdash; and
audience appetite &mdash; for cinema built on research, visual literacy, and respect
for historical scholarship.<p></p></p><p>With Rudransh moving through production and OthBrok
Production establishing itself as a serious creative enterprise, Kaadam's
journey offers a model for emerging filmmakers: one where artistic foundation,
intellectual rigor, and entrepreneurial sustainability are not contradictory,
but complementary.<p></p></p><p>For a filmmaker from Kolhapur quietly building a body of
work that values substance over speed, the path ahead looks deliberate &mdash; and
promising.<p></p></p><p><b>About Mandarr Kaadam</b> Mandar Kadam
(Mandarr Kaadam) is a director, writer, producer and entrepreneur based in
Kolhapur, Maharashtra. He is the founder of OthBrok Production and is currently
developing Rudransh, a historical film project. His work is characterized by
research-driven storytelling, visual design literacy, and respect for
historical scholarship.<br>

<p><strong>Jaipur, April 17, 2026 (SCNWire):</strong> The much-awaited Hindi film <em>Antas 2</em> made a grand impression at its star-studded premiere held at the iconic Raj Mandir Cinema in Jaipur on Friday evening. The historic theatre echoed with thunderous applause and enthusiastic cheers as the audience warmly embraced the film&rsquo;s heartfelt narrative.</p><p>Produced under the banner of Sonam Tele Films, <em>Antas 2</em> is the sequel to the successful first installment. The premiere screening turned into a memorable celebration of cinema, with prominent guests from the film industry and Rajasthan&rsquo;s social circles in attendance. The hall was filled with excitement as viewers reacted positively to the on-screen chemistry and emotional storytelling.</p><p>Director Surendra Swami, Producer Suresh Kumar, lead actress Shreya Khanna, actor Alok Bhardwaj, writer Mahesh Runiwal, along with Hinodun MLA Anita Jatav, ACP Amjad Khan, and noted Rajasthani actors including Raj Jangid, Shravan Sagar, RK Sara, Rajveer Gurjar Bassi, Charan Singh Pathik, Radheshyam Piplawa, and Ganesh Maharaj graced the event.</p><p>For director Surendra Swami, this marks his first major cinematic venture. Speaking at the premiere, he expressed deep emotion: &ldquo;The premiere of <em>Antas 2</em> at Raj Mandir in Jaipur feels like a dream come true. Seeing the love and appreciation from Rajasthani stars and the audience has left me overwhelmed. This film will touch every heart. Our love story, shot on the streets of Jaipur, is ready to captivate viewers.&rdquo;</p><p>The story of <em>Antas 2</em> unfolds against the breathtaking backdrop of Rajasthan &mdash; the bustling streets of Jaipur, the serene lakes of Rajsamand, and the picturesque waters of Udaipur. It narrates a simple yet touching tale of love. Shreya Khanna plays a young woman who arrives in Jaipur in search of her beloved and crosses paths with a humble taxi driver, portrayed by Alok Bhardwaj. Impressed by his simplicity and sincerity, she gradually falls in love with him.</p><p>Audiences at the premiere particularly appreciated the natural chemistry between Shreya Khanna and Alok Bhardwaj. Building on the success of the original <em>Antas</em>, this sequel promises to deliver the same emotional connect with fresh charm.</p><p>Shreya Khanna shared her thoughts after the screening: &ldquo;The energy at the Jaipur premiere was incredible. Meeting Rajasthani stars was truly an honour. The audience loved my character and the chemistry with Alok. Shooting in Jaipur taught me the real meaning of simplicity. <em>Antas 2</em> is a milestone in my career.&rdquo;</p><p>Alok Bhardwaj, who essayed the role of the ordinary taxi driver, said: &ldquo;Portraying the simplicity of a common man was challenging, but it became a memorable experience under Surendra Sir&rsquo;s guidance. Hearing appreciation from Rajasthani artists at Raj Mandir brought me immense joy. This is a story of an everyday person that will resonate with every heart.&rdquo;</p><p>Producer Suresh Kumar reflected on the successful evening: &ldquo;We are proud that <em>Antas 2</em> received such wonderful support from Rajasthan&rsquo;s cinema veterans. After the success of <em>Antas</em>, creating this sequel has been a matter of great pride for the team. We left no stone unturned in maintaining quality. The love of the audience remains our ultimate goal.&rdquo;</p><p>Writer Mahesh Runiwal described the film as a beautiful fusion of Bollywood storytelling and Rajasthan&rsquo;s rich cultural essence. He highlighted how the authentic locations played a vital role in bringing the narrative to life.</p><p>Guests at the premiere praised Surendra Swami&rsquo;s clear vision and the natural performances delivered by the lead pair. Many noted that the film successfully captures the warmth and innocence of a pure love story.</p><p>Following the grand response at the Jaipur premiere, the team expressed confidence in the film&rsquo;s wider appeal. Producer Suresh Kumar also reiterated the commitment to continue filmmaking in Rajasthan and to encourage local talent in the future.</p><p>The enthusiastic reception at Raj Mandir Cinema has set a positive tone ahead of <em>Antas 2</em>&rsquo;s theatrical release. With its roots firmly in Rajasthan&rsquo;s soil and culture, the film is poised to offer audiences a refreshing and emotionally engaging cinematic experience.</p><p>As the lights dimmed and the credits rolled, the sustained applause reflected the audience&rsquo;s genuine appreciation for this simple, heartfelt tale of love. <em>Antas 2</em> is now ready to win hearts across theatres nationwide.</p><p>- <strong>(SCNWire)</strong></p>

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 15: </strong>Usually, box office records in Indian cinema fall in slow motion. One film edges past another, the numbers shuffle, and that&rsquo;s that. But what&rsquo;s happened these last 26 days? That broke the script completely. No gentle climb, no steady rise&mdash;just a sudden leap that left everyone else behind.</p><p>With <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39139925/">Dhurandhar 2</a>: The Revenge, Aditya Dhar didn&rsquo;t just roll out another sequel. He built something much bigger&mdash;a franchise that shattered the old limits. You don&rsquo;t see numbers like this: the Dhurandhar series blasted past &#8377;3,000 crore worldwide. No Indian franchise had ever done that.</p><p>Look at what it left in the dust. S. S. Rajamouli&rsquo;s Baahubali series topped out at &#8377;2,438 crore. Allu Arjun&rsquo;s Pushpa films scored &#8377;2,092 crore. These weren&rsquo;t just popular&mdash;they set the standard. But now? They got overtaken.</p><p>The stats say it all. The first Dhurandhar pulled in &#8377;1,307.35 crore. The sequel already crossed &#8377;1,712 crore, bringing the total to &#8377;3,019.35 crore. That&rsquo;s not just momentum; that&rsquo;s straight-up acceleration.</p><p>And the real gamble? Time.</p><p>A movie that runs for 3 hours and 55 minutes is asking a lot. People barely want to give two hours these days, what with fast cuts, short attention spans, and phones always buzzing. A 235-minute film should feel like a risk.</p><p>But it worked.</p><p>Audiences didn&rsquo;t back away&mdash;they leaned in. The movie takes its time, lets scenes breathe, and somehow that extra length turns into a feature, not a bug.</p><p>The story picks up where the 2025 film left off. Jaskirat Singh Rangi&mdash;Hamza Ali Manzari&mdash;played by Ranveer Singh, is undercover again, operating across borders. His performance stands out not because he&rsquo;s flashy, but because the pressure shows. He doesn&rsquo;t try to be the hero every second. You see the weight on him.</p><p>When Dhurandhar 2 released on March 19, 2026, it went head-to-head with Ustaad Bhagat Singh starring Pawan Kalyan. Normally, that sort of clash splits ticket sales, but not this time. Both films did fine, but Dhurandhar 2 just sprinted off on its own track.</p><p>And the cast? They absolutely held it together.</p><p>For a film this long, you need people with presence. Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal give off this steady menace without saying much. R. Madhavan is precise, razor-sharp. Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi bring in the quiet, everyday moments, making sure the film never gets lost inside its own scale.</p><p>The real surprise: the money didn&rsquo;t come from China or the Gulf, which is where Indian blockbusters usually break through. This time, it was India itself and the Western diaspora doing the heavy lifting. That shift changes things&mdash;it points to a new center of gravity for Indian films.</p><p>For years, Indian filmmakers treated sequels like afterthoughts. You slapped on a familiar name but told a totally new story. The link was mostly marketing, not continuity.</p><p>Dhurandhar flipped the script. It planned for the long haul, building continuity across films and rewarding audiences for sticking with it. Trade trackers like Sacnilk are paying attention for a reason: &#8377;3,000 crore isn&rsquo;t just a statistic. It means Indian movies can pull off big, multi-part sagas the way Hollywood franchises do.</p><p>The box office numbers hammer that home. In just 26 days, Dhurandhar 2 pulled in &#8377;1,311.68 crore gross in India, netting &#8377;1,095.67 crore. These aren&rsquo;t just blockbusters&mdash;they&rsquo;re cultural events.</p><p>Aditya Dhar did more than just release a massive film. He reset the bar for what a &ldquo;big film&rdquo; even means. Stretch one story across two huge chapters, give people room to immerse themselves, and keep them coming back. That approach isn&rsquo;t common for Indian cinema on this scale.</p><p>Now, the definition of a blockbuster is something else entirely. The ceiling just got raised.</p><p>For everyone who made it through all 235 minutes, the film wasn&rsquo;t about record-breaking. It felt patient, grounded. Like something important setting roots. The weight of what you&rsquo;d just watched&mdash;well, that only hits you later.</p><p><strong><a href="https://pnndigital.com/category/entertainment/">PNN Entertainment</a></strong></p>

<p><em>From extended windows to IMAX-first filmmaking, a unified push to restore theatrical urgency</em></p><p><strong>Las Vegas (Nevada), April 16:</strong> At <a href="https://www.cinemacon.com/">CinemaCon 2026</a>, Universal Pictures did something rare for Hollywood lately: it picked a side and made things clear.</p><p>Since the pandemic, studios have tried to play both sides. Theaters still mattered, or so they said, but streaming was always lurking in the wings&mdash;and, honestly, streaming often got the spotlight. Release windows shrank fast, sometimes to just a couple of weeks. The thinking was obvious enough: less risk, faster profits, and hit people where they already are.</p><p>The result? People adjusted. If a movie&rsquo;s coming home soon anyway, why rush out and see it in theaters? The urgency just isn&rsquo;t there.</p><p>With their CinemaCon presentation, Universal made it clear they&rsquo;re ready to break from that routine.</p><p><strong>Standing Up for Theatrical Windows</strong></p><p>Steven Spielberg didn&rsquo;t mince words. He said movies just aren&rsquo;t in theaters long enough to build up steam, in the box office or the culture.</p><p>He only mentioned Jaws in passing&mdash;the real focus was on specifics. Spielberg threw out numbers&mdash;60, 90, even 120 days&mdash;for how long movies should play exclusively in theaters. He wasn&rsquo;t just picking random figures. He was directly challenging the trend of getting films to streaming as fast as possible.</p><p>Universal&rsquo;s already started extending its theatrical runs, setting a minimum of 35 days for 2026 releases, and they&rsquo;re planning to go further. Spielberg&rsquo;s stance is even bolder: bring back the era when theaters actually get to hang onto movies, not just squeeze them in before digital takes over.</p><p>And this is really about human behavior. If people expect to see new releases at home right away, going to the theater becomes just another option. Stretching out those exclusive runs is about putting the fear of missing out back into the movie business.</p><p><strong>A New Kind of Restraint in Marketing</strong></p><p>Spielberg&rsquo;s next movie, <strong>Disclosure Day</strong>, aims to walk that talk. The film dives into the discovery of non-human civilizations&mdash;classic Spielberg territory. The cast is stacked: Emily Blunt, Josh O&rsquo;Connor, Colman Domingo, Colin Firth, and Eve Hewson.</p><p>But here&rsquo;s the twist: Spielberg confirmed none of the third act would show up in trailers. In an era where ads seem to spoil every big moment, that&rsquo;s a strategic change.</p><p>He&rsquo;s not just chasing mystery for its own sake. The goal is to give people a reason to show up opening weekend, to see the story unfold without knowing the biggest beats. It&rsquo;s about recreating a sense of scarcity&mdash;this time for information, not just for access.</p><p><strong>Nolan&rsquo;s Case for Spectacle</strong></p><p>While Spielberg leans into timing and marketing, Christopher Nolan&rsquo;s all in on format.</p><p>His new movie, <strong>The Odyssey</strong>, is filmed entirely on IMAX 70mm&mdash;the first movie of its size to do it. The shoot went global, the budget topped $250 million, and the cast is stacked: Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong&rsquo;o, and Charlize Theron.</p><p>Nolan lets the work speak for itself. If you want to experience <strong>The Odyssey</strong> as intended, you have to see it in all its massive, immersive glory. Streaming later can&rsquo;t really match that, and honestly, that&rsquo;s the point.</p><p>From a business perspective, this is how you make theaters matter again. When a movie&rsquo;s main value is size, sound, and full-body immersion, streaming can&rsquo;t win on convenience alone.</p><p><strong>Mixing It Up Across the Board</strong></p><p>Donna Langley put it plainly&mdash;this isn&rsquo;t just about tentpole blockbusters.</p><p>Universal&rsquo;s lineup for 2026 is wide-ranging: animation, comedy, horror, prestige. Illumination has <strong>Minions &amp; Monsters</strong>. Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro team up with Ariana Grande in <strong>Focker-In-Law</strong>. There&rsquo;s horror like <strong>Other Mommy</strong> and <strong>Violent Night 2</strong>, plus Focus Features is keeping the prestige pipeline full with films like <strong>The Uprising</strong> with Andrew Garfield.</p><p>The goal here is simple: keep people coming to theaters, not just for the big events, but all year long, with something for everyone.</p><p><strong>This Is a Signal, Not a Lone Move</strong></p><p>Toward the end, Charles Rivkin handed Spielberg the America250 Award for lifetime achievement, and it felt like more than just a pat on the back. Spielberg still drives the conversation in Hollywood.</p><p>Really, Universal&rsquo;s CinemaCon pitch felt less like an outlier, more like a rallying cry.</p><p>Longer windows, secretive marketing, and giant-screen spectacles aren&rsquo;t new. What&rsquo;s new is pulling them together into one united front&mdash;star directors and studio bosses saying, &ldquo;We&rsquo;re all in on theaters.&rdquo;</p><p><strong>Hitting Reset</strong></p><p>Lately, the industry has obsessed over flexibility and speed. Universal&rsquo;s saying it&rsquo;s time to double down on exclusivity and making theaters irreplaceable.</p><p>The reasoning is straightforward: if you want theaters to keep making money, you have to give people both time and an experience they can&rsquo;t get anywhere else.</p><p>Will it work? Let&rsquo;s see. People&rsquo;s habits have changed, and convenience is tough to beat.</p><p>But the alternative&mdash;shrinking theaters&rsquo; role even more&mdash;just means less and less for everybody.</p><p>At CinemaCon 2026, Universal didn&rsquo;t try to please everyone. They picked a direction and stuck to it.</p><p><strong><a href="https://pnndigital.com/category/entertainment/">PNN Entertainment</a></strong></p>

<p><strong>Los Angeles (California), April 16:</strong> Fifteen years is a long gap. Long enough to forget anything. Most franchises try to come back louder after that kind of silence, just to ensure that people still remember. But this one doesn&rsquo;t.</p><p><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt34966140/"><em>Focker In-Law</em> </a>feels like it never really left. The trailer doesn&rsquo;t explain much. It doesn&rsquo;t need to. It assumes you remember the rhythm&mdash;conversations that start normal, then tilt slightly, then collapse under their own awkwardness.</p><p>That rhythm is still there.</p><p>What&rsquo;s new is the person walking into it.</p><p>Ariana Grande plays Olivia Jones, and the film doesn&rsquo;t position her as someone trying to survive the situation. She enters already settled, already reading the room.</p><p>That changes the tension.</p><p>Earlier films worked because someone was always struggling to keep up. Greg was reacting, adjusting, failing, recovering. Olivia doesn&rsquo;t do that. She watches first. Then responds. There&rsquo;s no visible panic.</p><p>The detail about her being a former FBI hostage negotiator could have been played as a throwaway joke. It isn&rsquo;t. It explains the stillness. When things start slipping, she doesn&rsquo;t escalate. She absorbs.</p><p>That steadiness creates a different kind of discomfort. Not chaos. Control.</p><p>Ben Stiller is no longer on the defensive. He&rsquo;s the one asking questions now.</p><p>It doesn&rsquo;t feel like a dramatic shift. It feels gradual. The kind of change that happens without anyone marking the moment. Greg has moved into the role he used to resist.</p><p>That&rsquo;s where the film finds its tension.</p><p>Robert De Niro is still present, still watching everything. But the energy is different. He doesn&rsquo;t push as hard. He doesn&rsquo;t need to. The control he once held over the room is now shared, and he seems aware of it.</p><p>His scenes with Grande are quieter than expected. Not confrontational. Measured. As if he&rsquo;s assessing her, not testing her.</p><p>The film doesn&rsquo;t try to reinvent its tone.</p><p>It stays with what worked&mdash;awkward dinners, conversations that derail, physical comedy that arrives at the wrong time. The structure is familiar, and that feels intentional.</p><p>Owen Wilson returns as Kevin, still moving through scenes with that same relaxed confidence that complicates everything without trying.</p><p>There&rsquo;s a moment where Olivia performs the Heimlich maneuver on Greg. Another where a routine bike ride turns into a problem. Nothing is exaggerated beyond recognition. The humor builds from small errors, not large setups.</p><p>That part hasn&rsquo;t changed.</p><p><em>Little Fockers</em> tried to expand the premise. This one pulls it back.</p><p>It focuses on something simpler. The shift from being judged to doing the judging.</p><p>That shift carries weight because it doesn&rsquo;t announce itself. It shows up in small exchanges, in who speaks first, in who controls the conversation.</p><p>Bringing in someone like Grande reinforces that change. Olivia isn&rsquo;t confused by the environment. She understands it quickly. That prevents the film from repeating the same pattern.</p><p>The trailer doesn&rsquo;t push scale. It doesn&rsquo;t suggest a reinvention.</p><p>It presents the same world, slightly adjusted.</p><p>A family dynamic that has aged. A new person entering it with a different kind of control. The same underlying problem&mdash;people trying to manage situations they only partially understand.</p><p>Only now, the imbalance comes from somewhere else.</p><p>And that is enough to make it work again.</p><p><strong><a href="https://pnndigital.com/category/entertainment/">PNN Entertainment</a></strong></p><p></p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], April 16:</strong> Up until a few years ago, sleep had a completely different identity in India. It would be considered relatively unimportant, maybe even being unproductive and unnecessary. But good sleep and working towards improving it has now become a conscious lifestyle choice.&nbsp;</p><p>People across India now pay closer attention to how they are sleeping, from tracking their sleep cycles to investing in better sleep products like mattresses and beds. The shift is clear: sleep health is finally getting the attention it should get.</p><p>One of the most noticeable changes in this space is the growing preference for the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wakefit.co/mattress/memory-foam-mattress"><strong>memory foam mattress</strong></a>. Though it originated as a premium or niche option, this type of mattress has now become a common choice in Indian households.&nbsp;</p><p>Wonder what&rsquo;s driving this change in perception? Let&rsquo;s break it down.</p><p>With ready access to information online and growing research on health and well-being, conversations around sleep have evolved. Diet and fitness had always been in focus as major contributors, but sleep is now being recognised as the third, and equally important, pillar of well-being.</p><p>This can be owed to several factors:</p><p>What was once considered just another purchase has shifted to people no longer settling for &ldquo;any mattress will do&rdquo;. They&rsquo;re actively researching what supports better sleep, reduces discomfort, and improves recovery. This is where the memory foam mattress has found relevance.</p><p>For many Indian consumers, the move toward memory foam represents a step toward better health, focus on everyday comfort, and a willingness to upgrade essential aspects of life.</p><p>Unlike traditional coir or spring mattresses, memory foam specifically responds to your body&rsquo;s shape, weight, and temperature, for optimal levels of support. It responds with firmness to pressure and contours to your body, creating a personalised, supportive sleeping surface.</p><p>Here&rsquo;s how it is different:</p><p>Memory foam distributes body weight evenly across the mattress, reducing the pressure felt around the shoulders, hips, and lower back. This makes it particularly beneficial for people who suffer from stiffness or pain after waking up.</p><p>It is very common to experience sleep disturbances from the movements or tossing and turning of someone sleeping next to you. Memory foam absorbs motion, so one person&rsquo;s movement doesn&rsquo;t affect the other.</p><p>Memory foam supports your spine&rsquo;s natural curve, helping you sleep comfortably through the night without bending your spine or going against its natural shape.</p><p>Unlike some materials that sag unevenly over time or face wear and tear, high-quality memory foam maintains its structure over time, offering consistent support.</p><p>The increased preference for memory foam can be explained by the evolving expectations customers have for mattresses as a whole. Mattresses are actively being chosen in terms of the benefits they give to the customer, from extended use, their lifespan, and even their technological advancement.</p><p>Mattresses were earlier chosen based on limited discounts, legacy brand status or immediate availability. Today, a mattress is seen as a health investment, which is why that much more research goes into the purchase.</p><p>Having spent more time indoors, the quality of home essentials has started to matter more. A mattress is where people relax, work, and unwind, beyond simply being where they sleep.</p><p>A simple search for a mattress near me can open up multiple options, comparisons, and reviews. This access to information has made it easier for customers to explore alternatives when it comes to mattress purchasing.</p><p>Inactive lifestyles &amp; work-from-home setups have led to more complaints around posture and discomfort. Mattresses that offer ergonomic support are thus gaining preference, especially in the working professionals.</p><p>Customers now pay attention to multiple factors instead of relying solely on in-store recommendations or word-of-mouth. This research establishes memory foam as a perfect choice for long-term satisfaction, in terms of durability, warranty (variable as per brand), and more.</p><p>Another reason for the growing popularity of memory foam is innovation in the mattress industry, where today&rsquo;s mattresses have evolved a lot from their original versions.</p><p>Modern designs often include:</p><p>These advancements address many concerns that have always existed, making memory foam more suitable for Indian climates.</p><p>While awareness is increasing, choosing the right mattress can still feel overwhelming. With so many options available both online and in physical stores, it&rsquo;s important to focus on what works for your body and lifestyle.</p><p>Here are a few factors to consider:</p><p>Memory foam mattresses come in varying firmness levels. Medium-firm is often recommended for balanced support, but the final choice should always revolve around what your body needs.</p><p>Side sleepers may benefit from softer surfaces that cushion pressure points. Back sleepers usually need firmer, contouring support for natural alignment of the spine, while stomach sleepers should look for mattresses with high-density foam for apt support.</p><p>Heavier individuals may require denser foam for adequate support, while lighter individuals might prefer softer comfort layers.</p><p>Many brands now offer trial periods, allowing you to test the mattress at home. Wakefit was the pioneer of the 100 Days Risk-Free Return policy in India, a provision that majorly reduces the risk of making the wrong choice.</p><p>If you&rsquo;re exploring options, starting with a simple search like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wakefit.co/mattress-shop-near-me"><strong>mattress near me</strong></a>&nbsp;can help you locate nearby stores or experience centres where you can check different models before deciding.</p><p>How India sleeps has changed a lot in the last few years. People are reevaluating their purchase choices every single day to optimize for better health and well-being, especially when it comes to the mattresses they sleep on.</p><p>The rise of the memory foam mattress is a reflection of this evolution. It combines comfort, support &amp; modern design in a way that aligns perfectly with the lifestyle needs of today&rsquo;s consumers.</p><p>At the same time, easier access to information, whether through online research or a quick mattress near me search, has empowered consumers to make better, more informed decisions. Everyone now knows better sleep isn&rsquo;t a luxury but a necessity &ndash; one that starts with the right foundation!</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], April 15:</strong> Emerging Punjabi artist Ekam is set to strike an emotional chord with his upcoming track Hissey, a soulful sad-pop number that dives deep into heartbreak, betrayal, and introspection. Slated for release on April 15, the song is part of his much-anticipated Mahoul EP, a project that explores the many emotional atmospheres of modern life.</p><p>Hissey stands out as one of the most vulnerable tracks on the EP, capturing the emotional aftermath of broken trust and the contrast between loyalty and deception. With its melancholic tone and reflective lyrics, the song represents the quieter, more introspective side of the Mahoul universe.</p><p>Sharing his thoughts on the track, Ekam said, &ldquo;Hissey is not just a song, it&rsquo;s a feeling. It talks about the parts of love that stay with you even after everything falls apart. This track is very personal&mdash;it&rsquo;s about betrayal, but also about understanding your own emotions in silence.&rdquo;</p><p>The Mahoul EP is envisioned as a 360-degree sonic journey, reflecting the shifting environments people navigate today&mdash;from high-energy social settings to deeply personal moments of solitude. Each track defines a distinct &ldquo;Mahoul&rdquo; (atmosphere), blending contemporary production with storytelling rooted in real emotions.</p><p>Ekam&rsquo;s musical journey traces back to Delhi, where he discovered his passion for music at the age of 11. Growing up in a family steeped in artistry, with his father being a professional tabla player, he was exposed early to rich musical traditions. Deeply inspired by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Ekam honed his craft through years of dedication, performing at Dargahs and immersing himself in Sufi music.</p><p>Before stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist, he collaborated with several Sufi bands as a backing vocalist, eventually evolving into a multifaceted creator. Today, his music reflects a seamless blend of Sufi soul, pop melodies, and hip-hop influences, making his sound both rooted and contemporary.</p><p>With teasers already building anticipation, Hissey is poised to become a relatable anthem for anyone navigating the complexities of love and loss, further establishing Ekam as a promising voice in India&rsquo;s independent music scene.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><em>The sequel looks right&mdash;but something feels different</em></p><p><strong>New York (United States), April 14: </strong>You know that rare feeling when a movie just sits with you for years&mdash;sometimes not because of the story, but because of that one person on screen? For me, that&rsquo;s always been Miranda Priestly.</p><p>The first time I watched <strong>The Devil Wears Prada</strong>, I remember thinking, how can someone be this intimidating without ever raising her voice? No yelling, no theatrics&mdash;just a quietly controlled tone, a pause, and suddenly everyone&rsquo;s on edge. That&rsquo;s all, Meryl Streep. She took Miranda and made her believable&mdash;almost too believable&mdash;so real she got under your skin.</p><p>So now, hearing about a sequel stirs something in a lot of people. There&rsquo;s excitement, sure, but also a weird edge to it this time.</p><p>Let&rsquo;s talk about why.</p><p>When the buzz started around <strong>The Devil Wears Prada 2</strong>, everyone jumped on the hype train. Then there was that Dolce &amp; Gabbana show&mdash;Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci, back in those roles like they&rsquo;d never left. For a split second, it was magic again.</p><p>Then they posed with Anna Wintour.</p><p>Something about that moment just made things different. For years, people always whispered that Miranda was really Anna Wintour. Nobody ever said it out loud, but the secret made the character sharper, almost dangerous.</p><p>Now, suddenly, there&rsquo;s no distance. They&rsquo;re right there together, all smiles, and honestly, it felt like watching a magician pull back the curtain. You lose a little mystique. Not a bad thing, exactly&mdash;but not the same, either.</p><p>The original movie worked because Miranda never tried to be friendly; she never asked you to like her. She didn&rsquo;t care at all. If you wanted to survive, that was on you. Somehow, that felt more honest.</p><p>Now, with talk of the sequel, everything seems&hellip; safer. There are warm interviews, a nostalgia glow, the sense that everyone wants the film to be embraced. The old movie didn&rsquo;t care about that. It felt kind of ruthless, in a way&mdash;even about the fashion world it showed. Back then, it felt like the filmmakers were a step outside looking in, ready to poke fun. This time, the industry&rsquo;s not just in on the joke; it wants a front row seat. Top designers, big labels, everyone lining up to be featured.</p><p>I get it. It&rsquo;s a huge spotlight. But when everyone&rsquo;s welcome, who&rsquo;s left to stir things up? To be a little unsettling, the way Miranda used to be?</p><p>That smoothness, the polish&mdash;it makes me wonder if some of the grit is gone. The stuff that stung. The things people still remember.</p><p>I&rsquo;m not saying the sequel can&rsquo;t be just as good. I hope it surprises everyone.</p><p>But I want that same feeling: when Miranda enters, and the whole room stops. That tension. The need to pull yourself together. If we lose that, even a bit, the world just doesn&rsquo;t feel the same.</p><p><strong><a href="https://pnndigital.com/category/lifestyle/">PNN Lifestyle</a></strong></p>

<p><em>The Routine Your Body Has Been Waiting For</em></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], April 15: </strong>Sleep optimization isn&rsquo;t a trend.<br>It&rsquo;s what happens after people realize something broke.</p><p>No one chased sleep for fun. They lost it first.</p><p>Too many screens. Work bleeding into midnight. Notifications that never end. The body tried to keep up. For a while, it did.

<p>
	After the roaring success of the My Story Tour in Delhi earlier this month, YoYo Honey Singh brought his landmark tour to Mumbai and turned the city into the setting for his life's most defining chapters.</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	<strong>Yo Yo Honey Singh lights up Mumbai with NDTV Good Times' My Story Tour</strong></p><p>
	<br>
	The evening unfolded as a powerful narrative - tracing Honey Singh&rsquo;s journey through rise, fame, setbacks, and resurgence, brought alive through music, visuals, and immersive storytelling.</p><p>
	<br>
	In one of the most striking moments of the night, Honey Singh made a dramatic entry on stage in a Rolls Royce - an image that instantly defined the scale and energy of the evening.&nbsp;</p><p>
	<br>
	The concert also delivered two unforgettable moments of fan engagement. Winners of the Golden Ticket Contest received jewellery and one lucky fan rode home on a brand-new bike.&nbsp;</p><p>
	<br>
	The king of pop also recorded a live music video on stage, giving the fan a unique experience, just like he did in Delhi.</p><p>
	<br>
	For the thousands present in Mumbai, it was deeply personal - a reminder that music at its most powerful, touches hearts.&nbsp;</p><p>
	<br>
	<strong>Rahul Kanwal, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of NDTV,</strong> said, "<em>Mumbai is a city that understands a heartfelt performance like this and instinctively responds to it. With My Story, we wanted to go beyond performance and create something that feels immersive, personal, and unforgettable. What we saw tonight was that connection come alive in a way that only a city like Mumbai can make possible</em>."</p><p>
	<br>
	<strong>Rahul Shaw, Chief Experiences Officer at NDTV</strong>, added, "<em>Every city on this tour has its own energy, but Mumbai brings a certain expectation. From the opening moment to the final beat, this show was designed to match that intensity, and the response from the audience has been nothing short of incredible</em>."</p><p>
	<br>
	Those who were in Mumbai will remember the night for years to come. And as the NDTV Good Times My Story World Tour travels across India, one thing is certain&mdash;while every city will have something special waiting for its fans, the energy, unpredictability, and sheer scale of this tour promise some of the most unforgettable live music moments the year will see.</p><p>
	<br>
	Because with Honey Singh, it is not just performance, it is an experience of a lifetime - across every show, every city.&nbsp;</p><p><a href="/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=background&amp;clid=25530&amp;Itemid=37"></a></p><p>NewsVoir is India's leading news distribution platform.

<p>
	Global recording artist Eylsia Nicolas has achieved a rare breakthrough in India, surpassing 100 million views on her original Hindi-language single after becoming one of the first Western artists to write, record, and release full original songs phonetically in Hindi specifically for Indian listeners.</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	<strong>Global recording artist Eylsia Nicolas, whose Hindi-language releases have surpassed 100 million views in india, becoming one of the first western artists to record in Hindi</strong></p><p>
	<br>
	Her follow-up Hindi release generated more than 10 million views in its first 24 hours, marking one of the fastest audience accelerations in India for a non-Indian artist in recent years.</p><p>
	<br>
	<strong>A Western Artist Singing Her Own Original Music in Hindi-and Going Viral</strong></p><p>
	Nicolas' decision to record her own compositions in Hindi-learning the phonetics line by line to honor the language-has resonated deeply with Indian audiences. Her Hindi vocals have been praised for their emotional accuracy and authenticity, helping her build a rapidly growing fan base in a country where she previously had no exposure.</p><p>
	<br>
	Indian media outlets have described her rise as "unexpected," "refreshing," and "a rare cultural bridge from West to East."</p><p>
	<br>
	<strong>A Comeback Story That Captured Global Attention</strong></p><p>
	Just one year earlier, Nicolas was recovering from catastrophic COVID-related damage that left her bedridden for over a year, with 20% permanent loss of lung capacity and severe vocal cord injury.</p><p>
	<br>
	Through sound-restoration technology developed by her R&amp;D company WorldIPI.com, and supported by AI-assisted processes, she regained her voice. This breakthrough resulted in a granted U.S. patent in December 2025, co-invented with renowned inventor Donald Spector.</p><p>
	<br>
	Once her voice returned, Nicolas wrote and released more than 90 songs in 2025, including a historic achievement: eight of the Top 10 singer-songwriter songs in one week on the global indie charts.</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	<strong>India Becomes the Center of Her 2026 Global Expansion</strong></p><p>
	Following her viral Hindi releases, Nicolas is preparing a major India-focused year that includes:</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
			The India launch of BookKards&trade;, her patented publishing format that delivers multimedia, AI-guided, personalized reading experiences for under &#8377;100</p><p>
			A charity tennis exhibition with a rising young Indian player, honoring her roots as the youngest winner of the Irish Open and a former Wimbledon competitor</p><p>
			A collaboration with an Indian recording artist, who will perform one of her original compositions</p><p>
			A multi-city visit to meet fans, creators, and partners</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	<strong>BookKards&trade;: A New Format Debuting in India</strong></p><p>
	Nicolas' BookKards&trade; format-built on an already granted patent portfolio with new filings pending-allows a single card to unlock:</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
			Unlimited multimedia content</p><p>
			Personalized AI-guided reading journeys</p><p>
			Automatic translation</p><p>
			Expansion or contraction of the story based on the reader's preference</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	India, with its massive youth population and mobile-first reading culture, will be the first country where BookKards&trade; is introduced at scale.</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	<strong>A Story of Resilience and Cultural Connection</strong></p><p>
	Half Filipino, half Irish, and a first-generation American, Nicolas describes her connection to India as "unexpected, emotional, and humbling." She credits Indian listeners for giving her a second life as an artist.</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	"<em>I recorded in Hindi out of respect</em>,"<strong> Nicolas </strong>says. "<em>I never imagined India would embrace me this way. I'm honored, grateful, and excited to give India my very best.</em>"</p><p>

<p><em>From Left to Right: Actor Producer &ndash; Gouraa Singhh, Director &ndash; Saagar Singhh &amp; Actor Producer &ndash; Nabil Parka</em></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], April </strong>10: Indian cinema is witnessing the rise of concept-driven storytelling, and Kakbhushundi stands at the forefront of this evolution. The upcoming film weaves cosmic mythology with a grounded human story, following Suryansh&mdash;a caf&eacute; worker unknowingly linked to forces beyond the physical world.</p><p>The narrative begins with subtle human emotion and quickly unfolds into a multi-layered mystery. A cold encounter with Bethany, an anonymous puppeteer operating in darkness, a whispering stranger, haunting flashbacks, and finally, Suryansh&rsquo;s ascension through a golden beam into another realm. There he meets Kakbhushundi, a cosmic entity who reveals his destiny. Meanwhile, the emotional turmoil of Anand and Meghana in the real world adds urgency and depth to the storyline, promising a screenplay that balances spectacle with sentiment.</p><p>At the heart of this project is international filmmaker and director Saagar Singhh, whose journey from acting in Indian television to working on international projects shaped his cinematic outlook. His collaboration with Christopher Nolan during Tenet remains a defining chapter, teaching him precision, patience, and creative discipline. Saagar often contrasts the structured professionalism of UK productions with the chaotic hierarchy he experienced in India&mdash;fueling his determination to create films where talent is prioritized over ego.</p><p>Saagar Singhh&rsquo;s recent selection as a jury member at the Persian Awards Film Festival in Toronto further underscores the international credibility surrounding the project. His mission is clear&mdash;to present Indian storytelling with global cinematic grammar.</p><p>Backing this vision is actor-producer Nabil Parkar, recognized for his dynamic presence in television and music entertainment formats. Nabil Parkar&rsquo;s strategic move into film production is a definitive reflection of his commitment to original, intellectually challenging, and visually striking scripts, with his latest project, Kakbhushundi, serving as the pinnacle of this creative ambition.</p><p>By stepping into the dual roles of actor and producer, Parkar is treating this &ldquo;passion project&rdquo; as a vehicle and using his performance as an emotional bridge while utilizing his production platform to explore profound narratives of immortality and spiritual evolution.</p><p>Equally instrumental is actor-producer Gouraa Singhh, whose extensive acting background in shows like Balika Vadhu and Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat inspired her to create healthier work dynamics behind the scenes. For Gouraa, producing Kakbhushundi is not just about making a film, but about fostering equality between cast and crew&mdash;something she felt was often missing during her acting career.</p><p>The visual soul of the film lies in the hands of VFX maestro Junaid Ullah. Having contributed to cinematic spectacles such as Enthiran (Robot), Baahubali: The Beginning, Jailer, and Coolie, Junaid&rsquo;s involvement ensures that the cosmic and mythological elements of Kakbhushundi will be brought alive with world-class visual effects.</p><p>Kakbhushundi is not merely a film announcement; it is the beginning of a new narrative space where mythology meets science fiction, emotion meets scale, and Indian creators step confidently onto the world stage.</p><p>&nbsp;<em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], April 09: </strong>In a noteworthy milestone for Indian cinema, the short film &lsquo;Innovatio&rsquo; has proudly clinched the &lsquo;Silver Award in the Super Short Film&rsquo; category at the prestigious Paris Film Awards (France). This accolade emphasises the film&rsquo;s compelling narrative amid a highly competitive global landscape, particularly in a category that emphasises precision, brevity, and originality.</p><p>Director of Photography Darshan Venkat, with cinematography by Sriram and choreography by Ganesh, &lsquo;Innovatio&rsquo; showcases the talents of a dedicated crew, including sound engineer Amresh and writer-director Sukanya Basu Mallik. Produced under the &lsquo;Clips and Pages&rsquo; banner, the film features a talented ensemble cast, including Jeeva, Gokul, Srivatsan, Ganesh, Pavithra, and Nandhini, all of whom contribute to a cohesive cinematic experience. Editing, handled by Jeeva, along with Cassate Band Recordz and post-production by Sakthi D and SFX Echt Media Works and Studios, plays a crucial role in shaping the film&rsquo;s pacing and storytelling&mdash;a key element in the super short format, where every frame carries significant narrative weight. The film&rsquo;s makeup artists, Humairah and Priya, further enhance its visual appeal.</p><p>The success of &lsquo;Innovatio&rsquo; is not confined to the international stage. The film has also been awarded the &lsquo;Best Indian Short Film&rsquo; at the Tamizhagam International Film Festival in Chennai, echoing its positive reception among domestic audiences and critics alike. This dual recognition reflects the film&rsquo;s ability to resonate across different cultural landscapes while maintaining a unique creative voice.</p><p>&lsquo;Innovatio&rsquo; is distinguished by its conceptual clarity and effective execution, exemplifying the growing trend of micro-cinema. Filmmakers are increasingly exploring compact storytelling formats without sacrificing thematic depth. Even in its brief duration, the film showcases an acute understanding of visual economy and emotional resonance&mdash;qualities essential to contemporary short filmmaking.</p><p>The project benefited from the support of Dhevi Illam and Chennai Podcast as venue partners, highlighting the collaborative ecosystem that fosters independent filmmaking in Chennai. Such partnerships play an instrumental role in providing platforms for emerging filmmakers to bring their visions to life and exhibit their work.</p><p>With its recognition at the Paris Film Awards, &lsquo;Innovatio&rsquo; joins an expanding group of Indian short films receiving international attention, indicating a significant shift in global interest toward regional and independent cinema from India. This achievement not only marks a milestone for the creative team behind the film but also underscores the potential of super short films as a compelling storytelling medium in today&rsquo;s rapidly evolving cinematic landscape.</p><p>Actor Srivatsan said he appreciated the film&rsquo;s core idea&mdash;highlighting the sacrifices of soldiers&rsquo; families within a 5-minute format&mdash;and added that working with the team was enjoyable, especially playing a soldier.</p><p>Sukanya expresses, &ldquo;Bringing together so many talented professionals and accomplishing this in a new state, where I&rsquo;m unfamiliar with the language&mdash;along with this being my first time making a short film professionally&mdash;was genuinely challenging. However, now that it has received recognition for its value, I am truly pleased.&rdquo; We extend our congratulations to her and her team and look forward to many more shorts and other projects under her direction.</p><p><strong><a href="https://youtu.be/dMTtX86EnXw?si=OCTJfzrLCm6Zgu9r">https://youtu.be/dMTtX86EnXw?si=OCTJfzrLCm6Zgu9r </a></strong></p><p><strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sukanyaspen/%20Use%20this%20backlink">https://www.instagram.com/sukanyaspen/ Use this backlink</a></strong></p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], April 14:</strong> There has been a transformation in the travel to the beaches of India, but not as the people tend to use the term change, they have not burst their dams, they have not re-invented themselves, they have just moved their weight, almost reluctantly, almost silently, off their shoulders, off their shoulders onto their minds.</p><p>Today, when you search for beaches in India, Goa still appears at the top of the list, and that is not unexpected.<a href="https://goa-tourism.com/"> Goa</a>, which has decades of development as the default coastline of the country, is a destination that does not require introduction, just arrival. However, the actions behind those searches are different this time around, as the travelers are not content with merely arriving at a beach; they are also deciding which part of that coastline they fit into.</p><p>North Goa has not lost its energy, speed, and predictability, but there is a shift towards the south, where everything seems less processed, less crowded, and more breathable. The beaches remain the same, but expectations do not, and that is sufficient to redraw the map.</p><p>Gokarna has come out of the shadow into which it has so far been comfortable. It used to be called an alternative, a less noisy variant of something, but this framing is no longer applicable. Gokarna is not taking the place of Goa; it is what it is not attempting to be. The strolls along beaches, the wavy walks, the absence of too much organization&ndash;they are no longer nuisances; they belong to the charm, as they bring you some space between what one knows well.</p><p>Then there is the greater jump, the one that entails commitment, since the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are not a destination that one visits randomly. They require planning, time, and the desire to travel further than normal, but in the process, they will provide what mainland beaches cannot offer. The water is less bubbly, the edges are less noisy, and the experience is less negotiated. Spots such as Havelock Island and Radhanagar Beach still feature in any discussion about the best beaches in India, not because they are setting any trends in the loudest way, but because they are invariably hard to rival.</p><p>In the west, the coast at Varkala is altogether of another pattern, the ground swelling in advance of the water, and the beach being seen as much as it is used. The cliffs alter the beat of the spot, and a stay must be made, which those flat seashores seldom require, and that stay has already commenced to draw a kind of traveler, one who is not in a great haste to pass by.</p><p>The same silent focus is coalescing around Puducherry, where the beaches are not necessarily the main subject, but the ambiance created around them is. The coast here plays about with culture, with architecture, with an impression of order, which is, perhaps, a little out of place with all the rest of the country, and which is enough to be interesting. The competition between Paradise Beach and Rock Beach does not happen at the scales but occurs at the character level.</p><p>Further towards the western corridor, Tarkarli is being brought to prominence, which is not making too much noise. It is being found in smaller waves by travelers in search of clarity, clear water, clear space, and fewer interruptions. It is not trying to compete with larger destinations, and that is, in fact, what is attracting people to it.</p><p>Even the long-established quieter outpost, Diu, is beginning to take its place in the modern trends of travel, with shorter journeys becoming more frequent and more easily accessible destinations becoming more significant. It is also easier to navigate with clean beaches, enhanced infrastructure, and contained geography, and ease has become a determining factor more than ever before.</p><p>It is not similarity that makes all these places relate, but purpose. The notion of beach travel in India is no longer about getting to the most popular place of the ocean; it is about choosing the appropriate environment, the appropriate rhythm, the appropriate proportion between motion and stillness.</p><p>These are not radical changes but consistent ones, and consistent changes are what create sustained trends.</p><p><strong>FAQ</strong></p><p><strong>So, which are the top beaches in India at the moment?</strong></p><p>Goa, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Gokarna, Varkala, and Puducherry are still among the most sought-after destinations.</p><p><strong>Which is the least crowded beach in India?</strong></p><p>Tarkarli and Gokarna are recognized as relatively less noisy.</p><p><strong>Is Goa the best beach destination in India?</strong></p><p>Goa remains a leader, but tastes are shifting in favor of certain areas within Goa and others outside it.</p><p><strong>Which is the most peaceful destination on a beach?</strong></p><p>Varkala and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands offer calmer, more immersive environments.</p><p><strong>Final Insight</strong><br>Indian beach destinations are not being replaced; they are being reimagined, as travelers are no longer enquiring about where the best beach is, but about which beach fits the way they wish to travel now, and that is the question slowly remaking the whole coastline.</p><p><strong><a href="https://pnndigital.com/category/lifestyle/">PNN Lifestyle</a></strong></p><p></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<p><strong>New Delhi [India], April 14: </strong>Buying an affordable<a href="https://roadgiant.in/shop/"><u><strong>&nbsp;bicycle in India today</strong></u></a>&nbsp;is no longer just about choosing the cheapest option available. Riders are more aware, expectations have evolved, and performance now matters just as much as price.</p><p>If you&rsquo;re exploring value-driven bicycles, it makes sense to review current models on&nbsp;<a href="https://roadgiant.in/"><u><strong>Roadgiant&rsquo;s Bicycles</strong></u></a>&nbsp;and browse the shop section to compare specifications, build quality, and pricing side by side.</p><p>Instead of asking &ldquo;which brand is best,&rdquo; the more relevant question in 2026 is:&nbsp;<strong>Which bicycle actually gives you the best value for your money?</strong></p><p>The Indian bicycle market has clearly shifted in recent years. Buyers are no longer satisfied with just affordability &mdash; they want a better overall riding experience.</p><p>Heavy steel frame bicycles are gradually being replaced by lightweight ones. Riders who cycle for fitness expect smoother performance over longer distances, while daily commuters want something that feels comfortable and effortless even with regular use.</p><p>Because of this shift, comparing bicycles based on real-world usability has become far more important than simply looking at price tags.</p><p>The market today offers a wide mix of choices, each built for a different type of rider.</p><p>There are traditional bicycle manufacturers with strong offline networks, premium lifestyle bicycles that focus on design, budget bicycles that prioritize cost, and newer value-focused bicycle brands that aim to balance quality and affordability.</p><p>While all of them serve a purpose, the experience they deliver can feel completely different once you start riding.</p><p>The most noticeable difference between bicycles often comes down to frame material.</p><p>Steel frames have been used for decades. They are durable and reliable, but also heavier, which can make longer rides feel tiring. This is why they are still commonly found in low budget bicycles in India.</p><p>Aluminium frames (Alloy 6061) have become increasingly popular because they are lightweight, easier to handle, and more responsive. Over time, they reduce fatigue and make everyday riding noticeably smoother.</p><p>In the &#8377;7,000&ndash;&#8377;10,000 range, many bicycles still rely on steel, while better-value options now offer aluminium bicycles at similar pricing. That single shift in material can completely change how a bicycle feels on the road. This is also where Roadgiant bicycles stand out, making lightweight aluminium frames more accessible to everyday riders.</p><p>At first glance, many bicycles across categories appear similarly priced. However, the value they offer can vary significantly.</p><p>Entry-level bicycles are built primarily for affordability. They usually come with steel frames and basic components, making them suitable for limited or occasional use.</p><p>The mid-range segment is where most buyers spend their time and also where confusion is at its highest. Prices overlap heavily, but quality does not. Some options still use heavier materials, while others focus more on design and positioning rather than actual performance.</p><p>This is also the segment where value-focused brands stand out by offering better materials and components within similar price points.</p><p>Premium bicycles focus more on design, branding, and enthusiast-level performance. While they offer a refined experience, they are not always necessary for everyday riders.</p><p>While the frame forms the foundation, it is the components that define the riding experience.</p><p>Gearing systems are now available across most segments, but smoother performance comes with better build quality.</p><p>Braking systems vary as well. Entry-level models typically use V-brakes, while more refined bicycles come with disc brakes. The difference is noticeable &mdash; disc brakes provide better control, reliable stopping power, and improved safety.</p><p>Wheel quality also plays an important role. Double-wall alloy rims tend to be more durable compared to single-wall options, especially for regular riders.</p><p>Even small elements like cable routing contribute to the overall experience. Internal routing provides a cleaner look and better protection, while external routing keeps maintenance simple.</p><p>Individually, these may seem like minor details, but together they shape comfort, performance, and durability.</p><p>A well-rounded bicycle range should cater to different types of riders and usage.</p><p>This includes kids&rsquo; bicycles, MTB bicycles for rough roads, hybrid bicycles for city and fitness use, as well as both geared and non-geared bicycles.</p><p>Some brands focus heavily on variety, while others focus on practical, everyday usability. The right choice depends entirely on how you plan to use your bicycle.</p><p>One aspect that often gets ignored is manufacturing quality.</p><p>How a bicycle is made directly impacts its durability, consistency, and long-term reliability. Factors such as material selection, production control, and assembly precision all play a role.</p><p>Brands that manage their own production and use advanced processes like robotic welding and precision cutting tend to deliver more consistent build quality.</p><p>It may not seem important at first, but it becomes a key factor over time.</p><p>The way people&nbsp;<strong>buy bicycles in India</strong>&nbsp;is also evolving.</p><p>Offline buying still exists, especially for those who prefer physical inspection and local servicing. However, offline buying often limits comparison and can lead to price variations.</p><p>Online bicycle buying offers more transparency. It allows buyers to compare specifications, understand pricing clearly, and make decisions based on actual value.</p><p>This shift toward research-driven buying is changing how purchase decisions are made.</p><p>Different bicycles suit different types of riders.</p><p>Budget buyers usually look for the lowest upfront cost and basic usability.</p><p>Traditional buyers often prefer offline purchases and familiar options.</p><p>Premium buyers focus more on design and higher-end performance.</p><p>Then there are value-focused riders &mdash; people who ride regularly and care about comfort, performance, and long-term durability. They are less influenced by branding and more focused on the real riding experience.</p><p>Choosing a bicycle in 2026 is less about branding and more about real-world performance.</p><p>While traditional options continue to offer familiarity and premium bicycles stand out in design, the biggest shift is happening in how people evaluate value.</p><p>Riders today are paying closer attention to frame material, ride quality, comfort, and durability.</p><p>In the &#8377;8,000&ndash;&#8377;15,000 segment &mdash; where most purchase decisions happen &mdash; the difference becomes clear. Lightweight aluminium bicycles, better braking systems, and stronger components provide a noticeably better riding experience.</p><p>This is why Roadgiant bicycles are gaining attention. Instead of settling for heavier builds or paying extra for branding, more riders are choosing bicycles that perform better in daily use.</p><p>If you are comparing options, exploring lightweight aluminium bicycles in India can significantly improve your riding experience without increasing your budget.</p><p>Take the time to compare models, review specifications, and choose based on your usage.</p><p>Because in the end, what truly matters is not how a bicycle looks in a showroom &mdash; but how it performs every single day.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], April 14:</strong> MICA &ndash; The School of Ideas, India&rsquo;s premier institute for Strategic Marketing and Communication, hosted its 31st Convocation Ceremony, marking the graduation of 255 students across its flagship programmes&mdash;PGDMC, PGDM, CCC, and FPM. The ceremony was a celebration not only of academic achievement and industry recognition, but also of the unique, deeply personal journeys that shaped this graduating cohort.</p><p>The Class of 2026 represents a new generation of professionals who are not defined by conventional paths, but by their willingness to explore, adapt, and innovate.

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra), April 14: </strong>Kalamkaar and SVF have announced <a href="https://thelegacy.live/">The Legacy</a>, a live-format rap reality show, which is courting both opportunity and timing by presenting itself as a verdict in India&rsquo;s cacophonous hip-hop arena.</p><p>While Desi Hip-Hop (DHH) is moving from subculture to industry, the show seeks to fill a void that has been there for a long time: the lack of a credible, performance-first arena that truly mirrors the scene. In an arena that has been dominated by the glossy sheen of studio polish, curated narratives and indulgent entertainment, this show is trying to present itself as a more brutal, audience-facing arena&mdash;less circus, more test.</p><p>It is spearheaded by Raftaar and KR$NA; artists who have helped shape the lyrical and competitive tenor of the genre in their own ways. It is clear that this is not a show meant for entertainment but as a filter to see an artist who could move beyond a moment of virality.</p><p>The main concept behind The Legacy is a crucial departure from reality TV in general. The show is going to be shot in multiple real settings, literally pitting contestants against the public instead of confined studio audiences. It is not a coincidence that in hip-hop, credibility is never negotiated in a safe zone; it is forged in front of an audience that can immediately respond. This is why the show is trying to emulate the culture in question by having its contestants judged by the same conditions in which they will be evaluated in real life.</p><p>In a similar vein, the judging system of The Legacy retools itself to incorporate a hybrid model: technical panels will score the contestants on elements such as lyricism, flow, and composition, but this will be balanced against audience voters. In hip-hop, authority is always distributed; the critics can critique any track, but the culture chooses. And The Legacy is trying to formally incorporate this in the show&rsquo;s structure by giving the audience a voice in the outcome.</p><p>And this is not the only place where this understanding of hip-hop culture surfaces; the incentive structure of the show is a testament to that as well. When a winner is offered an album deal, it is not only about exposure; it is about access to the whole infrastructure of a professional career. More interestingly, all contestants will be paid on a progressive scale as they move through the competition. In a genre where artists often perform for free, this could be seen as the introduction of a necessary standard of professionalism.</p><p>Access, too, has been a principle that has foregrounded the project. The series is open to all 14-40-year-olds from India, with a submission process that is free of charge. That is a deliberate choice. Many of the pockets of India&rsquo;s hip-hop talent continue to come from non-institutional spaces, where a sweet addition of fees can, at an unnoticeable level, filter out good talent. The Legacy is widening the funnel to maximize the chances of catching voices that may exist beyond the vista of usual openness.</p><p>Applications are currently being accepted via an official online platform, https://thelegacy.live/, to which artists are asked to submit an original rap or freestyle video that shows what the creators call a &ldquo;pen, presence, and personality.&rdquo; There is some purpose in the wording here. Skill is necessary, but not sufficient. The show is looking for a composite personality. One who can write and perform, and occupy a space in an assertive way.</p><p>The Legacy continues on Kalamkaar&rsquo;s long-held role as a platform for artist development. The group has helped identify and develop many well-known figures in the DHH circuit. For SVF, it is into music-led cultural programming and showing a new format for their production business. Their infrastructure and credibility lend to a combination that is often missing when trying to formalize an underground movement.</p><p>The Legacy&rsquo;s relevance is greater than that of the show itself; rather, it is what it is attempting to formalize. Indian Hip-hop for the most part continues in its decentralised ways, in cyphers, independently released work, and digital virality. As the scene moves into monetisation and mainstream, it looks like the question is how to scale its growth along a structure.</p><p>The Legacy exists at that threshold itself. It is not just a show, it is a framework, an attempt to bring the raw, competitive energy of the streets into a medium that can be sold, that can be televised, that can be monetized, that can be commercialized without stripping it off its essence.</p><p>It will decide for itself. Authenticity is harder to regain than to lose. If this balance can be maintained between performance and production value, between judgment and community, the series could be a watershed.</p><p>Not only for the artists it discovers, but for how Indian hip-hop discovers them.</p><p><a href="https://pnndigital.com/category/lifestyle/">PNN Lifestyle</a></p><p></p>

<p><b><i>Aushim Khetarpal&rsquo;s &lsquo;Children of God&rsquo; Poster Out; Sai Baba Creator Champions a Bold Social Narrative</i></b></p><p><b><i>Aushim Khetarpal Backs &lsquo;Children of God&rsquo;; Sai Baba Filmmaker Turns Spotlight on Identity and Acceptance</i></b></p><p>The first poster of the upcoming Hindi film Children of God has been unveiled, marking a significant new chapter for Aushim Khetarpal&mdash;widely known for his work on Sai Baba&ndash;based films and television content. With this project, Khetarpal shifts from spiritual storytelling to a hard-hitting social narrative, bringing focus to themes of identity, rejection, and acceptance within the LGBTQIA+ community.</p><p>The film has been made under the guidance of Aushim Khetarpal&mdash;an actor and spiritual influencer known for backing socially relevant cinema. He has also been associated with projects based on Sai Baba, reflecting his inclination towards meaningful and inspirational storytelling.</p><p>Speaking about the film, Khetarpal said, &ldquo;Children of God is not just a film&mdash;it represents countless unheard voices. It highlights that identity is not defined by society but discovered within. Accepting oneself is the greatest act of courage.&rdquo;</p><p>Directed by Ashish Saxena, the film tells the story of Amit, a young man who faces rejection from his family and society due to his identity. In search of survival and anonymity, he moves to Bhopal, where he finds acceptance within a transgender community and begins to embrace his true self as Amita. However, just as life begins to offer hope, a betrayal threatens to disrupt his journey, until a chance encounter with a mentor helps him rediscover inner strength and self-worth.</p><p>The screenplay and dialogues are penned by Rajan Lyallpuri, while the music has been composed by Raja Ali, Rupesh Mishra, and Akshay Raju Saxena. The film features Aushim Khetarpal along with Akash Verma, who plays the dual role of Amit/Amita, and Raadhika Khetarpal in the lead. The supporting cast includes Sarthak Kapoor, Prince Rajeev, NK Singh, Bhavya Singh, Raj Chaudhary, Ranesha Agarwal, Abhishek Sinha, Shobhna Khatri, and Annu Sharma.</p><p>Positioned as a social drama with elements of inspiration and coming-of-age storytelling, Children of God aims to highlight issues of identity, dignity, and human rights through an emotionally engaging narrative.</p>

<p><em>Revisit the narrow lanes of Varanasi as the iconic Dhanush-Aanand L. Rai duo returns to redefine passion and romance</em></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 26:</strong>&nbsp;Sony MAX, India&rsquo;s premier Hindi movie channel, proudly announces the World Television Premiere of&nbsp;<strong><em>Tere Ishk Mein</em></strong>, one of the most anticipated emotional spectacles of 2025. Twelve years after the cult classic&nbsp;<em>Raanjhanaa</em>&nbsp;redefined the landscape of romantic dramas in Indian cinema, the iconic duo of National Award&#8209;winning actor Dhanush and master storyteller Aanand L. Rai reunite to bring audiences back to the mystical ghats and narrow lanes of Varanasi.</p><p>More than just a film,&nbsp;<em>Tere Ishk Mein</em>&nbsp;is being hailed as the spiritual successor to&nbsp;<em>Raanjhanaa</em>. While&nbsp;<em>Raanjhanaa</em>&nbsp;gave audiences the innocent persistence of Kundan,&nbsp;<em>Tere Ishk Mein</em>&nbsp;introduces Shankar&mdash;a darker, more volatile shadow of that unforgettable character. For millions of fans, seeing Dhanush return in a dhoti on the banks of the Ganges was a nostalgic masterstroke, capturing the essence of obsession, devotion, and the high price of love.</p><p>The film unites a powerhouse creative team that has redefined modern romantic storytelling. Dhanush delivers one of his most intense performances as Shankar, embodying restless passion, wounded pride, and the violence of love. Opposite him, Kriti Sanon offers a career&#8209;best portrayal, grounding the film&rsquo;s chaotic energy with nuance and depth. Aanand L. Rai&rsquo;s vision captures the authentic pulse of small&#8209;town India, while A. R. Rahman&rsquo;s haunting score elevates the narrative with the spiritual echoes of Varanasi&rsquo;s temples.</p><p>The World Television Premiere of&nbsp;<em>Tere Ishk Mein</em>&nbsp;reinforces&nbsp;<strong>Sony MAX&rsquo;s</strong>&nbsp;promise of showcasing powerful narratives and unforgettable performances, ensuring that audiences everywhere can experience the grandeur of cinema right in their living rooms. With the channel&rsquo;s massive nationwide audience, the premiere will reach millions of viewers&mdash;making this television event as momentous and far&#8209;reaching as a big&#8209;screen debut.</p><p>&ldquo;As a director, for me the most important question before makiwith film is whether I truly have a reason to tell that story. With Tere Ishk Mein, the answer was an immediate yes. The film explores a deep, intense form of love, and in many ways, it is my most matured take on love so far. It&rsquo;s a layered story, and whenever I find myself working with such emotional complexity, I instinctively turn to Dhanush. He was always my first choice for the character of Shankar because I knew this character needed an actor who could bring both vulnerability and strength to a demanding role.&rdquo; Director Aanand L. Rai said.</p><p>With powerful performances, soulful music, and a story that explores the many shades of love, Tere Ishk Mein promises a compelling cinematic experience.</p><p>Don&rsquo;t miss the World Television Premiere of&nbsp;<em>Tere Ishk Mein</em>&nbsp;on 27th&nbsp;March at 8 pm only on Sony MAX</p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 30:</strong> In a remarkable celebration of grace, confidence, and determination, Neetu Sangwan from Bhiwani, Haryana has emerged as the VG Mrs India Global Icon 2nd Runner-Up 2026 at the prestigious VG Miss &amp; Mrs India Global Icon Season 7. Her inspiring journey stands as a powerful example of how passion and self-belief can transform dreams into reality.</p><p>Coming from a small village in Haryana, Neetu shares that in such social environments, girls are often not even encouraged to dream big. Even today, many women remain confined within the four walls of their homes and rarely get the opportunity to step out and explore the beautiful world beyond. Rising above these limitations and reaching a national platform is not just an achievement for Neetu, but a strong message &mdash; that no dream is too big when you have the courage to pursue it.</p><p>A proud homemaker, Neetu beautifully balanced her personal responsibilities while pursuing her aspirations on a national platform. Her journey reflects resilience, dedication, and the courage to step beyond boundaries, proving that dreams have no limitations when fueled by determination.</p><p>Neetu credits her success to her biggest support system &mdash; her husband and family &mdash; whose unwavering encouragement played a crucial role in her achievement. Their belief in her dreams gave her the strength to shine confidently on stage.</p><p>Driven by a strong purpose, Neetu aspires to work towards women empowerment and women&rsquo;s safety, aiming to inspire and uplift women in society. She believes in creating a world where every woman feels secure, confident, and valued.</p><p><strong>Sharing her message to women, Neetu says:</strong></p><p>&ldquo;If I can come from a small village and achieve my dreams, then every girl can. You can achieve everything&mdash;just trust yourself. You are strong, beautiful, and unstoppable. Live your life like a queen.&rdquo;</p><p>She also expressed heartfelt gratitude to Binita Shrivastava ma&rsquo;am and the entire VG team for their constant support and for providing her with a platform that helped her dreams take flight.</p><p>Neetu Sangwan&rsquo;s journey is not just a success story&mdash;it is an inspiration for countless women who dare to dream and believe in themselves.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p>
	On World Water Day (22 March), actor and social advocate Bhumi Pednekar visited a Community Pure Water (CPW) purification centre in Kolkulapalli Village, Madgul Mandal, Mahbubnagar District, Telangana, highlighting the urgent need for safe and sustainable drinking water solutions across rural India.</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	<strong>Bhumi Pednekar with school children at a government school in rural Telangana being supported by Community Pure Water</strong></p><p>
	<br>
	As India faces increasing water stress driven by climate change, groundwater depletion, and rising demand, the scale of the crisis remains stark- nearly 70% of the country&rsquo;s freshwater is estimated to be polluted, and over 800 children die every day from water-related diarrheal diseases alone. The visit underscores the critical importance of clean drinking water as a foundation for public health, dignity, and long-term development.</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	<strong>Bhumi Pednekar on a visit to a water purification centre of Community Pure Water seen with the community members</strong></p><p>
	<br>
	During the visit, Bhumi Pednekar engaged directly with community members, particularly women and schoolchildren, gaining first-hand insight into how access to safe water has transformed daily life. Conversations with beneficiaries highlighted reduced time spent collecting water, improved health outcomes, and greater access to education and livelihood opportunities.</p><p>
	<br>
	She was accompanied by Mr. Ravi Reddy, Founder of Community Pure Water; Ms. Pratiksha Prashant, Board Member and Chairperson of the Fundraising Committee; Ms. Sumeet Rawla, Chief Philanthropy Officer; and Ms. Lakshmi Konamamneni, Chief Executive Officer, along with the Community Pure Water leadership and operations team.</p><p>
	<br>
	A walkthrough of the purification centre showcased Community Pure Water&rsquo;s five-step purification process, including filtration, reverse osmosis, mineral balancing, and safe distribution, demonstrating how technology-driven systems, combined with strong community participation, deliver reliable, affordable, and high-quality drinking water at scale.</p><p>
	<br>
	Speaking during the visit, <strong>Bhumi Pednekar</strong> said, &ldquo;<em>Access to safe drinking water is one of the most fundamental rights, yet for millions it remains a daily struggle. What Community Pure Water is doing here is not just providing water, it is restoring health, dignity, and opportunity. On World Water Day, it is a powerful reminder that solving India&rsquo;s water crisis requires collective, sustained action</em>.&rdquo;</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	<strong>Mr. Ravi Reddy, Founder, Community Pure Water</strong>, added, &ldquo;<em>Safe drinking water must be seen as essential public health infrastructure, not a charity or a privilege. At Community Pure Water, we have focused on building systems that are reliable, scalable, and operated by the communities they serve. Today, with over 600 Water Purification Centres, we provide safe drinking water to 1.5 million rural residents every day, 24/7, through our Any Time Water (ATW) system. Visits like this help bring visibility to the lived realities of rural India and reinforce the urgency of investing in long-term, sustainable solutions.</em>&rdquo;</p><p>
	<br>
	The visit also included an interaction at a nearby government school, where Bhumi observed how access to safe drinking water is improving student health and learning environments, reinforcing the strong link between water security and education.</p><p>
	<br>
	Community Pure Water, a flagship initiative of the Community Development Foundation founded by Mr. Ravi Reddy, has built one of India&rsquo;s most effective community-managed safe water delivery models. With over 600 purification centres across the country, the organisation provides safe and affordable drinking water to more than 1.5 million people every day.</p><p>
	<br>
	Each centre operates as a 24/7, ISO-certified micro-utility with high operational uptime, ensuring consistent water quality and long-term impact. By reducing water-borne diseases and improving overall health outcomes, these centres contribute directly to stronger communities, better nutrition, and increased economic productivity.</p><p>
	<br>
	As the world marks World Water Day, the visit underscores a simple but urgent reality: access to safe drinking water cannot remain uncertain for millions. Community Pure Water&rsquo;s work demonstrates that scalable, community-operated solutions can deliver reliable, long-term impact, when backed by sustained investment and collective action.</p><p>
	<br>
	Bhumi Pednekar&rsquo;s visit brings national attention to a crisis often faced quietly in rural India, reinforcing the need to place safe drinking water at the centre of the country&rsquo;s public health and development agenda.<br>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	<strong>About CPW</strong></p><p>
	The greatest barrier to a better quality of life in rural India is poor health. Chronic illness driven by hazardous, polluted water keeps families sick, drains incomes, limits education, and holds back women and entire communities.</p><p>
	<br>
	Community Pure Water (CPW) exists to remove this root cause. CPW is a community-powered preventive health organization driving systemic change by operating long-term water purification micro-utilities as public health infrastructure. By preventing disease before it begins, CPW enables healthier families, improved school attendance, stronger livelihoods, and more resilient communities.</p><p>
	<br>
	Its model integrates preventive maintenance, remote monitoring, and AnyTimeWater (ATW) dispensing systems with deep community participation to ensure reliability, affordability, and durability over decades, moving beyond short-term project cycles. By building local capacity and ensuring systems are operated by communities, CPW delivers sustained impact, not temporary access.</p><p>
	<br>
	Today, CPW operates over 600 systems across multiple states, providing safe, BIS-standard drinking water to 1.5 million people every day with over G7% uptime. By eliminating the root cause of water-borne illness, CPW is enabling healthier populations, stronger workforces, better educational outcomes, and long-term, generational progress across rural India.</p><p>

<p>
	TimBuckDo Innovations Pvt. Ltd. has transformed a standout moment from the business reality show Ideabaaz into a strategic collaboration by appointing actor Pratik Gandhi as its brand ambassador. What began as a compelling on-screen interaction has now evolved into a high-intent partnership, anchored not just in visibility, but in shared perspective and ecosystem building.</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	<strong>TimbuckDo Appoints Actor Pratik Gandhi as Brand Ambassador: A power-packed collaboration to redefine the future of work</strong></p><p>
	<br>
	This association reflects TimBuckDo&rsquo;s approach of converting moments of relevance into long-term strategic value. The initial interaction, where Pratik Gandhi highlighted the lack of structured early work opportunities, created a strong alignment with the platform&rsquo;s core mission. That alignment now extends beyond communication into contribution.</p><p>
	<br>
	While Pratik Gandhi comes on board as the face of the brand, the collaboration is designed to go deeper. Within TimBuckDo&rsquo;s communication and campaigns, he is positioned as a Chief Bro Officer (CBO), a symbolic role that reflects guidance, relatability, and trust.</p><p>
	<br>
	The intent is to move beyond traditional celebrity endorsement and build a voice that feels closer to students. Through this lens, Pratik Gandhi emerges as a &ldquo;<strong>big brother</strong>&rdquo; figure, someone who brings lived experience, shares perspective, and helps students navigate their early journeys in the gig economy with more clarity and confidence. The collaboration also extends beyond communication, with Pratik Gandhi bringing in his perspectives to support broader ecosystem and strategic thinking. His journey through multiple early gigs before finding stability lends authenticity to this positioning, making the messaging both aspirational and grounded.</p><p>
	<br>
	As a two-sided platform, TimBuckDo operates at the intersection of demand and talent supply, guided by a 60-30-10 execution framework focusing on employer acquisition, student onboarding, and brand-building. This collaboration is designed to strengthen all three levers by enhancing trust, relatability, and ecosystem engagement.</p><p>
	<br>
	The move is backed by data-led validation across digital campaigns, campus activations, and interactions with 1,000+ students, which showed a clear lift in engagement, recall, and platform trust with Pratik Gandhi, making this a performance-driven decision, not just an endorsement.</p><p>
	<br>
	Commenting on the announcement, the founders of TimBuckDo,<strong> Mythri Kumar and Apoorv Sharma</strong>, said, &ldquo;<em>We are excited to welcome Pratik Gandhi as we enter our next phase of growth. This is not a conventional brand ambassador partnership. Today&rsquo;s generation engages with brands very differently; they value authenticity, relatability, and real stories. This collaboration is built on that shift, where influence comes from lived experience, not just visibility. We see this as a strong lever to deepen trust, drive participation, and strengthen the ecosystem</em>.&rdquo;</p><p>
	<br>
	Sharing his perspective, <strong>Pratik Gandhi </strong>said, &ldquo;<em>I come from a phase where every early opportunity was a learning curve, but there was no guidance to navigate it. What TimBuckDo is building changes that. If today I can contribute to a platform that not only creates opportunities but also brings direction and confidence to students, that&rsquo;s something I truly believe in. This is not just an association, it&rsquo;s something I want to actively be part of</em>.&rdquo;</p><p>
	<br>
	With this move, TimBuckDo aims to strengthen its positioning as a structured and scalable bridge between students and employers, while also building a more insight-led, guidance-driven ecosystem for early work opportunities in India.</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	<strong>About TimBuckDo Innovations Pvt. Ltd.</strong><br>
	TimBuckDo is India&rsquo;s first social-commerce platform designed exclusively for students, enabling them to earn, build skills, and achieve financial independence through structured gig opportunities. It addresses a key gap in the workforce landscape by unlocking a dependable, flexible talent pool driven by students.</p><p>
	<br>
	Leveraging AI-led matching and a fast-growing campus network, TimBuckDo connects businesses with a verified student workforce for part-time and project-based roles. This enables companies to meet dynamic staffing needs efficiently, while offering young individuals hands-on exposure and practical experience alongside their education.</p><p>
	<br>
	Today, TimBuckDo powers a network of nearly 5 lakh students and 5,000+ employers, positioning itself as a trusted ecosystem for student-led work. By making flexible roles more accessible and dependable, the platform is fostering a culture where students actively participate in India&rsquo;s evolving on-demand economy.</p><p><a href="/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=background&amp;clid=25186&amp;Itemid=37"></a></p><p>NewsVoir is India's leading news distribution platform.

	One of Indian music&rsquo;s most loved and celebrated voices, Shreya Ghoshal has etched her name in history by becoming the first Indian female artist in three decades to release a live tour album, featuring exclusive recordings from her most recent All Hearts Tour.

	&nbsp;</p><p>
	<strong>"The All Hearts Tour &ndash; Live&rdquo;: Shreya Ghoshal Becomes India&rsquo;s First Female Artist in Three Decades to Launch a Live Album</strong></p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	These live versions capture the scale, emotion and energy experienced across sold-out arenas &amp; venues worldwide. Drawing from some of Bollywood&rsquo;s biggest blockbusters, the album showcases the remarkable versatility &amp; longevity of Shreya Ghoshal&rsquo;s catalogue - from the intensity of &ldquo;O Saathi Re&rdquo; from Omkara (2006) to the grandeur of &ldquo;Deewani Mastani&rdquo; from Bajirao Mastani (2015), from era-defining dance anthems like &ldquo;Chikni Chameli&rdquo; from Agneepath (2012) to the beautiful intimacy of &ldquo;Samjhawan&rdquo; from Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014) - the album spans three decades of moments that have shaped the sound and sentiment of modern Indian pop culture.</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	Speaking about the Album, <strong>Shreya Ghoshal </strong>says, &ldquo;<strong>The All Hearts Tour &ndash; Live</strong>&rdquo; album is incredibly special to me. For the first time, I&rsquo;m releasing concert recordings so my audience can relive the same emotion and energy. This is my gift to everyone who&rsquo;s been part of my journey over the years- my listeners, my fans, those who attended the tour, and even those who couldn&rsquo;t. I wanted to give them something in return, because as the name suggests, my fans truly are All Heart.</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	This 44-city global tour covered India, North America, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, Australia and Europe. Shreya Ghoshal performed at major international venues including the OVO Arena Wembley (London), Oakland Arena (California) &amp; Wolf Trap (Washington DC). She&rsquo;s the second Indian Artist (after Lata Mangeshkar) to perform at the Fox Theatre (Detroit) and the First Indian Artist to perform at the Dolby Theatre (Los Angeles) Currently ranked among the world&rsquo;s most-streamed artists across platforms, her international footprint continues to expand through collaborations with artists including Tayc, Saad Lamjarred, Pentatonix and Afroto. Two such collaborations were part of Grammy-nominated albums.</p><p>
	<br>
	With a career spanning generation of listeners, Shreya Ghoshal&rsquo;s musical journey began with classical music training at the age of four before her breakthrough win on Sa Re Ga Ma followed by a remarkable playback singing debut in the iconic &ldquo;Devdas&rdquo; (2002) and has since, recorded over 3500 songs in 20+ languages.</p><p>
	<br>
	As the first Indian artist to be named Spotify&rsquo;s EQUAL Global Ambassador, she continues to champion female representation in the global music industry, with her presence lighting up billboards from Mumbai to Times Square.</p><p>
	<br>
	Her global impact has been widely recognized, especially in the United States - where June 26 is celebrated as &ldquo;Shreya Ghoshal Day&rdquo; in Ohio, July 24 as &ldquo;<strong>Shreya Ghoshal Day of Entertainment and Inspiration</strong>&rdquo; in Cincinnati and June 15, 2024, was proclaimed &ldquo;Shreya Ghoshal Day&rdquo; in Austin during her All Hearts Tour.</p><p>
	<br>
	In April 2013, she was felicitated at the UK Parliament (House of Commons) by Members of Parliament for her contribution to music. In March 2017, she became the first Indian singer to have a wax figure at Madame Tussauds Delhi, displayed in the museum&rsquo;s Indian wing.</p><p>
	<br>
	Her continued prominence is reflected in a consistent multi-year presence in YouTube&rsquo;s Global Weekly Top Artist charts, while on Spotify she currently ranks 53rd in the World and is among the most streamed Indian Artists on the platform.</p><p>
	<br>
	Her phenomenal musical success is exceeded only by her humility, deeply personal connect with audiences and an insatiable pursuit of perfection in everything she does.</p><p><a href="/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=background&amp;clid=18712&amp;Itemid=37"></a></p><p>NewsVoir is India's leading news distribution platform.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">The Bengali independent music scene continues to flourish with the release of a soulful new original single titled <em>&ldquo;Jeno Chole Jeyo.&rdquo;</em> The project brings together the creative talents of Tollywood actress <strong>Sree Bhattacharyya</strong>, acclaimed Esraj maestro <strong>Shubhayu Sen Majumdar</strong>, and singer-composer-lyricist <strong>Rahul Mondal</strong>. As an independent Bengali music project, <em>Jeno Chole Jeyo</em> aims to blend cinematic storytelling, classical musical depth, and contemporary emotional expression into one evocative musical experience.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the center of the music video is Tollywood actress <strong>Sree Bhattacharyya</strong>, whose performance brings a delicate emotional intensity to the narrative. Known for her expressive screen presence and strong connection with audiences, Sree adds a cinematic dimension to the project, transforming the song into a visual story that resonates with themes of longing, memory, and the fragile nature of relationships. Her portrayal captures subtle emotional transitions that complement the song&rsquo;s poetic tone, making the music video both visually compelling and emotionally immersive.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The musical backbone of <em>Jeno Chole Jeyo</em> is enriched by the soulful sound of the <strong>Esraj</strong>, performed by renowned Esraj maestro <strong>Shubhayu Sen Majumdar</strong>. The Esraj, a classical Indian bowed instrument known for its hauntingly melodic timbre, plays a central role in shaping the emotional landscape of the song. Shubhayu&rsquo;s performance adds a deeply expressive layer to the composition, weaving classical textures into the modern arrangement. His contribution elevates the song beyond a typical independent single, bringing a refined musical authenticity that highlights the richness of traditional instrumentation in contemporary Bengali music.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The creative force behind the song is <strong>Rahul Mondal</strong>, who has written, composed, and sung <em>Jeno Chole Jeyo</em>. As a multi-talented artist, Rahul&rsquo;s vision drives the entire project, from the lyrical narrative to the musical arrangement. His songwriting explores themes of love, separation, and the quiet emotional struggles that often accompany human relationships. Through poetic Bengali lyrics and a heartfelt vocal performance, Rahul captures the vulnerability and emotional depth that define the song.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The composition of <em>Jeno Chole Jeyo</em> carefully balances modern sensibilities with classical influences. While the melodic structure retains a soft, contemporary acoustic feel, the inclusion of the Esraj introduces a traditional musical character that adds emotional gravity. This blend creates a unique sonic identity for the track&mdash;one that reflects the evolving nature of Bengali independent music, where classical heritage and modern storytelling coexist harmoniously.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As an independent project, <em>Jeno Chole Jeyo</em> represents the growing movement of artists who are choosing to create and release music outside the traditional studio system. Independent music production has opened new opportunities for artists to experiment creatively and connect directly with audiences. Rahul Mondal&rsquo;s initiative demonstrates how collaborative passion and artistic vision can come together to produce meaningful music without the constraints of mainstream commercial frameworks.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The music video further enhances the song&rsquo;s emotional appeal. Featuring <strong>Sree Bhattacharyya</strong> in a poignant narrative role, the visual storytelling reflects the emotional journey portrayed in the lyrics. Through subtle visual cues, expressive performances, and atmospheric cinematography, the video captures the essence of longing and introspection that defines the song&rsquo;s theme.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For audiences who appreciate meaningful lyrics and melodic depth, <em>Jeno Chole Jeyo</em> offers a refreshing listening experience. The song stands as an example of how independent Bengali music continues to evolve while staying deeply connected to cultural and musical traditions.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The collaboration between <strong>Rahul Mondal</strong>, <strong>Shubhayu Sen Majumdar</strong>, and <strong>Sree Bhattacharyya</strong> brings together three distinct creative energies&mdash;music composition, classical instrumental mastery, and cinematic performance. Their combined efforts have resulted in a project that celebrates emotion, artistry, and storytelling.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With its heartfelt composition, evocative visuals, and rich instrumental textures, <em>Jeno Chole Jeyo</em> is poised to connect with listeners who value authentic musical expression. As independent music continues to gain momentum in the Bengali creative landscape, projects like this highlight the power of collaboration and the importance of preserving musical heritage while embracing modern artistic voices.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>Jeno Chole Jeyo</em> is now available for audiences to experience as a Bengali original single, marking an important step in Rahul Mondal&rsquo;s artistic journey and a memorable collaboration between talented contributors from the worlds of music and cinema.</p>

The campaign focused on addressing common misconceptions and motivating individuals to consider pledging their organs, highlighting the importance of awareness and informed decision-making in public health matters.</p><p>Alongside these initiatives, youth engagement activities have been conducted through the Youth Motivation Forum in Surat, a platform that encourages students and young individuals to participate in community service and leadership-oriented discussions. According to organisers, the forum has engaged over 25,000 students and young participants through motivational sessions, awareness drives, and youth interaction programmes.</p><p>Observers note that such initiatives reflect a growing trend of youth-led community participation in civic and social development, particularly in areas such as environmental sustainability, public health awareness, and social responsibility.</p><p>As communities increasingly recognise the importance of grassroots engagement, initiatives led by young volunteers and social advocates continue to highlight the role of youth in contributing to local development and awareness-building efforts.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p>Food is an integral part of society. It shapes who we are. Truly understanding a society takes more than looking for curated experiences. Beyond the breathtaking scenery of Maldives lies a vibrant culinary culture waiting to be explored.</p><p>Maldivian cuisine reflects the island nation&rsquo;s geography and history, blending influences from South Asia, Sri Lanka, and the Arab world. Seafood, coconut, and rice form the backbone of most dishes, creating flavours that are both simple and deeply satisfying.</p><p>For travellers planning their island adventure, discovering the local cuisine is just as important as visiting the famous beaches. This<a href="https://dimaak.com/blog/maldives-travel-guide/">&nbsp;</a><a href="https://dimaak.com/blog/maldives-travel-guide/">Maldives travel guide</a><a href="https://dimaak.com/blog/maldives-travel-guide/">&nbsp;</a>introduces some of the most iconic traditional dishes every traveller should try to experience the true taste of the Maldives.</p><p>No food experience in the Maldives is complete without Mas Huni, the country&rsquo;s most beloved breakfast dish. It is a refreshing mix of shredded smoked tuna, grated coconut, onions, chilli, and lime juice.</p><p>Mas Huni is typically served with roshi, a soft flatbread similar to chapati. The combination is light yet flavourful, making it a perfect start to a day of island exploration. For visitors staying at local guesthouses, this dish is often served fresh every morning.</p><p>Approximate cost: MVR 50-150 (&#8377;250-&#8377;1,300)</p><p>This fish soup is a favourite dish during winter. It is made of restorative clear broth made by simply boiling fish. The items do not end here; the broth is flavoured with ginger, garlic, black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice, with fresh chunks of yellowfin tuna plus chilli and grated coconut added.</p><p>Garudhiya is typically eaten for lunch or dinner with white rice, Thelli Faiy (fried moringa leaves), Thelli Mas (fried fish), lime, onion, and chilli.</p><p>Approximate cost: MVR 47-185 (&#8377; 270&ndash; &#8377;1,071)</p><p>Among the other curries served in the Maldives, Mas Riha is particularly a fan favourite. Like many other dishes in the Maldives, Mas Riha also contains tuna fish, and it is cooked with coconut milk and served with rice or roshi.</p><p>The sauce tends to be thick and full of the delicious flavours of cumin, turmeric, and curry leaves. Creamy and spicy, it&rsquo;s made from varieties of tuna with coconut, mango, cinnamon, and ginger.</p><p>Mas Riha represents the Indian influence on Maldivian cuisine perfectly. It is like a South Indian curry but with distinctly Maldivian seasoning.</p><p>Approximate cost: MVR 100-250 (&#8377;200- &#8377;500)</p><p>Although fish claims most large plates in Maldives cuisine, Kukulhu Riha arrives with gently braised chicken in a terrific coconut-based sauce, delicately spiced with curry leaves, cardamom, and a handful of fiery scotch bonnets.</p><p>Bulked out with steamed rice, it&rsquo;s also eaten with roshi and washed down with a glass of lime juice and soda.</p><p>Approximate cost: MVR 40- 250 ( &#8377;200- &#8377;500)</p><p>Deep-fried balls filled with coconut, tuna, and chilli, about the size of ping-pong balls. Other ingredients used in this dish are: curry leaves, ginger, and turmeric can be added too. Encased in dough made of wheat or rice flour, these bite-sized snacks are served freshly baked with tea or coffee.</p><p>They&rsquo;re evening staples across the islands. Gulha is a part of the Maldivian lifestyle. It is embedded in the rhythm of local lives.</p><p>Approximate cost: MVR 5-10 each (&#8377;10- &#8377;20)</p><p>If you are exploring local caf&eacute;s or street food stalls, look out for Bis Keemiya. This popular snack resembles a spring roll filled with cabbage, onions, tuna, and boiled eggs.</p><p>Crispy on the outside and savoury on the inside, Bis Keemiya is perfect as a quick bite while exploring local islands.</p><p>Approximate cost: MVR 2 &ndash; 10 ( &#8377;60 to &#8377;290). &nbsp;The pricing can vary depending on the restaurant.</p><p>For dessert lovers, Saagu Bondibai offers a delightful end to a Maldivian meal. This sweet dish is made with sago pearls cooked in coconut milk and sugar, sometimes flavoured with cardamom.</p><p>It is rich, creamy, and comforting, reflecting the Maldivian love for coconut-based sweets.</p><p>Approximate cost: MVR 200 &ndash; 500 ( &#8377;1,174- &#8377;2,937)</p><p>While the Maldives is globally known for its luxury resorts and scenic beauty, its cuisine provides a deeper connection to the islands&rsquo; culture and traditions. From hearty tuna-based dishes to flavourful snacks and desserts, every meal tells a story about the nation&rsquo;s close relationship with the sea.</p><p>Travellers who wish to experience the Maldives beyond the resorts should explore local islands, traditional caf&eacute;s, and community eateries. Many curated experiences offered by<a href="https://dimaak.com/">&nbsp;</a><a href="https://dimaak.com/">Dimaak tours</a><strong>&nbsp;</strong>include authentic food tastings, allowing visitors to enjoy both the natural beauty and culinary heritage of the islands.</p><p>Trying local food is one of the most rewarding parts of travel, and the Maldives offers a unique culinary journey shaped by ocean flavours and island traditions. From Mas Huni breakfasts to spicy grilled fish and coconut desserts, these dishes provide a true taste of Maldivian life.</p><p>Whether you are planning your first island getaway or exploring local culture through a detailed<a href="https://dimaak.com/blog/maldives-travel-guide/">&nbsp;</a><a href="https://dimaak.com/blog/maldives-travel-guide/">Maldives travel guide</a>, make sure to add these traditional dishes to your must-try list.

<p>The old ritual of buying physical gifts or handing over cash in envelopes is fading. In its place, digital gift cards have emerged as a simple and flexible option. What began as a niche product has quickly become a mainstream tool for personal gifting, employee rewards, and online purchases.</p><p>By 2026, India&rsquo;s gift card market is expected to reach nearly $11.85 billion. This growth isn&rsquo;t driven by convenience alone. It reflects a mature digital infrastructure where vouchers function almost like digital cash.</p><p>Several forces are pushing digital gift cards into the spotlight.</p><p>India&rsquo;s payment ecosystem changed dramatically with UPI (Unified Payments Interface). With more than 20 billion monthly transactions, digital payments are now part of everyday life.</p><p>Gift cards fit naturally into this system.</p><p>Instead of being simple codes, many vouchers now live inside digital wallets or payment apps. Users can redeem them instantly, often with a single tap.</p><p>The result? Gifting has become faster, simpler, and fully digital.</p><p>One of the biggest drivers of the gift card market is the corporate sector.</p><p>Companies have moved away from generic gifts like mugs or office merchandise. Instead, they now use Digital Rewards &amp; Recognition (R&amp;R) programs.</p><p>This shift offers several advantages:</p><p>Instant rewards<br>
HR teams can send a gift card within seconds through email or WhatsApp. Recognition becomes immediate.</p><p>Tax efficiency<br>
Under Indian tax rules (Section 17), employee gifts up to &#8377;5,000 per year are typically tax-exempt. That makes gift cards attractive for both companies and employees.</p><p>Freedom of choice<br>
Instead of receiving a fixed gift hamper, employees can choose what they actually want&mdash;from groceries to gadgets.</p><p>Gift cards influence buying behavior in a unique way.</p><p>Many recipients treat them as bonus money rather than part of their normal budget. Because of this, users often spend 20&ndash;30% more than the card value.</p><p>For retailers, that translates into higher order values and increased sales. It&rsquo;s one reason brands continue to push gift card programs aggressively.</p><p>Not all gift cards work the same way. Knowing the difference helps you choose the right one.</p><p>Closed-loop cards are tied to a single brand.</p><p>For example, a Starbucks gift card can only be used at Starbucks locations or their online store. These cards are great for brand loyalty and targeted gifting.</p><p>Open-loop cards operate like prepaid debit cards. They are typically powered by networks such as Visa, Mastercard, or RuPay.</p><p>Because they work across many merchants, they offer far more flexibility for recipients.</p><p>Multi-brand gift cards allow users to choose from a wide catalog of retailers.</p><p>Instead of being limited to one store, recipients can pick from dozens&mdash;or even hundreds&mdash;of brands. These are especially popular in corporate reward programs.</p><p>&ldquo;Phygital&rdquo; combines physical and digital experiences.</p><p>A physical card is delivered to the recipient, but it contains a QR code or digital activation. Once scanned, the value instantly syncs with a mobile wallet.</p><p>This model blends the emotional feel of a physical gift with the speed of digital redemption.</p><p>Two platforms stand out for users looking to purchase gift cards in India.</p><p>For tech-savvy users,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.buysellvouchers.com/">BuySellVouchers</a>&nbsp;offers a unique advantage.</p><p>The platform supports cryptocurrency payments, allowing users to buy gift cards using digital assets. This makes it popular among international users and crypto communities.</p><p>It also functions as a secondary marketplace, where buyers can find competitive deals on digital vouchers for global brands operating in India.</p><p>For users focused on local brands,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.buygiftcards.in/">BuyGiftCards.in</a>&nbsp;is a strong option.</p><p>The platform specializes in Indian retailers and services, offering vouchers for brands such as:</p><p>PhonePE</p><p>Swiggy</p><p>Steam</p><p>It also provides bulk purchasing tools for companies, making it a popular choice for corporate gifting programs.</p><p>Traditional Gifts vs Digital Gift Cards</p><p>Feature</p><p>Traditional Gifting</p><p>Digital Gift Cards</p><p>Delivery</p><p>Courier or in-person</p><p>Instant via SMS, email, or app</p><p>Flexibility</p><p>Fixed item</p><p>Recipient chooses what to buy</p><p>Corporate Use</p><p>Complex logistics</p><p>Automated reward systems</p><p>Payment Methods</p><p>Cash or card</p><p>UPI, wallets, net banking, crypto</p><p>Digital gift cards represent more than just convenience.</p><p>They reflect a larger shift toward speed, flexibility, and digital integration. As fintech tools continue to evolve, vouchers are becoming a new form of everyday currency.</p><p>Whether it&rsquo;s a manager rewarding remote employees or a friend sending a last-minute gift, digital gift cards have quietly become India&rsquo;s new language of appreciation.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 17:</strong> Born and brought up in Nagpur, Samarpeet Bhale&rsquo;s journey into the world of acting began long before the stage lights and cameras found him. At just 12 years old, while most children were spending their pocket money on toys or games, Samarpeet was investing his in books that would shape his artistic future &mdash; classics like An Actor Prepares by Constantin Stanislavski and On Acting by Sanford Meisner. Those early pages didn&rsquo;t just teach him acting; they ignited a lifelong pursuit of understanding the craft.</p><p>Samarpeet later moved to Mumbai for his undergraduate studies at St. Xavier&rsquo;s College, where he pursued Mathematics, Physics, and Statistics. But while academics formed one part of his life, theatre quickly became the other. During this period, he began actively participating in stage productions, gradually building connections and experience within the theatre community.</p><p>His stage journey in Mumbai saw him perform in several notable productions including Mr. Robinson at NCPA in 2017, Inqalab Zindabad at Antas in 2018, Qatl at the Lingua Festival in 2019, and Mumbai 66A in 2020. Each play added a new layer to his understanding of performance and storytelling.</p><p>At one point during his undergraduate years, Samarpeet made a bold decision &mdash; he paused his formal education for a year to focus entirely on acting. During this time, he enrolled in a Screen Acting Diploma at Mumbai Film Academy, led by Anil Chaurasia, where he trained under Sanjay Kumar and Swati Kumar. It was here that he was first introduced to the nuances of acting for the screen. His training soon translated into work, including a short film titled Qismat produced by MFA Motion Pictures.</p><p>Even after resuming his studies, Samarpeet continued working across different productions. One of his early screen projects during this time was Ronny, an XIC film directed by Akash Chabra that was later showcased at the Moviepedia Festival.</p><p>Samarpeet&rsquo;s artistic direction took a significant turn when he attended a workshop with Jeff Goldberg Acting studio. The workshop introduced him to the philosophy of Method Acting and the techniques developed by Lee Strasberg. Fascinated by the depth of the method, Samarpeet decided to take his training further &mdash; all the way to New York.</p><p>He enrolled in the prestigious two-year conservatory program at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. During his time there, he trained under respected instructors including Robert Ellerman, Geoffrey Horne, George Loros, Bill Hopkins, Ted Zurkowski, Bill Balzac, Lola Cohen, Suzanne Didona, Jacqueline Jacobus and Kelly Tursi&nbsp; for Method Acting and learning script analysis with Lorca Peress. Incorporating with movement for actors under Madeline Jaye and Micheal Eisenstein for Tai Chi. He also explored the art form of Commedia del&rsquo;arte under Christopher Tramantana and Rachel Griesinger, singing for actors with Bruce Baumer and Robert Grusecki, Business of Acting with Tim Crouse. He also explored his musical theatre skills with Heather Petruzelli, Dan Furman and Michelle Robinson.</p><p>As part of his conservatory performances, Samarpeet appeared in powerful and authentic stage productions such as Hurlyburly by David Rabe, Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare, and Red by John Logan &mdash; experiences that further refined his craft and stage presence. He has been utmost thankful to the institute for nourishing his craft of acting, which not only transformed him as an actor but also as a person. He is said to have achieved groundedness, truth and honesty during the course of his training.</p><p>While in New York, he also participated in the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute Film Festival, collaborating with fellow students to create a film titled A Grain of Truth Directed by Darya Vasylyeva.</p><p>Samarpeet&rsquo;s body of work continues to grow across theatre, film, and digital projects. His earlier credits include Amy&rsquo;s Ghost a feature film with Artz Entertainment directed by Aatish Thakur in 2012, Treasure Island a musical with Stagecraft Theatre directed by Vikas Khurana in 2011, Mr. Robinson plays at NCPA, and the film Ronny.</p><p>More recently, he has been part of several notable projects including Stairwell streaming at Fearpix directed by Sywane McManus, American Dreams, an NYU thesis film directed by Mehak Singh Gill, and Ezekiel Cheever in The Crucible at LSTFI directed by Brendan Clifford. He also performed in Faasla, a translated adaptation of 12 Angry Men by Insignia Productions, and featured in the music video Afsos produced by Monkstudioproductions. He also has some surprises coming up with Jermel Howard, a Hollywood star. Recently he has been associated as an understudy actor with Frog and Peach theatre group, an AEA ensemble under Lynnea Benson.</p><p>Samarpeet&rsquo;s training has also included working with Smita Patil Street Theatre under Yousuf Qasmi, further grounding him in socially driven performance traditions.</p><p>Currently based in New York, Samarpeet continues to sharpen his craft at Acting Studio 22 under Marcel Simoneau, constantly pushing himself to explore deeper emotional and psychological layers of performance through more vivid acting techniques.</p><p>For Samarpeet Bhale, acting has never been about fame alone. It has always been about understanding human behavior, storytelling, and truth on stage and screen. From Nagpur to Mumbai and now New York, his journey reflects the path of an artist driven by discipline, curiosity, and an unwavering commitment to the craft. He believes that every human being is talented but training and discipline can help any artist achieve heights in their career. He believes that every artist is inclusive and has his or her own form of expression.</p><p>And if his journey so far is any indication &mdash; there is much more to come.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 14:</strong> Why a Book Fair, in an age of screens and speed?</p><p>Because books are where conversations deepen, memories gather, and cultures continue to breathe. A book fair is not merely a marketplace of printed pages. It is a meeting ground of minds, a celebration of language, and a living festival of ideas.</p><p>It is with this spirit that the <strong>Bengal Association</strong> presents the 23rd edition of <strong>Dilli Boi Mela</strong>, from <strong>19th to 22nd March at the Raisina Bengali School Grounds, New Delhi</strong>. Over the years, Dilli Boi Mela has grown into one of the capital&rsquo;s most beloved cultural gatherings, bringing together literature, music, thought, food, enterprise, and community in a uniquely warm and welcoming atmosphere.</p><p>At the heart of this year&rsquo;s mela is a charming new presence, its official mascot, <strong>Book Ey Aay Mama</strong>. Selected after careful consideration of numerous creative submissions by distinguished members of the art and design community, Book Ey Aay Mama is both playful and symbolic. Designed as a book spine with open, welcoming arms, the mascot embodies the spirit of the fair itself&mdash;inviting readers, thinkers, dreamers, and wanderers to step in, explore, and belong. It stands as a reminder that books do not merely sit on shelves; they open their arms to the world.</p><p>For four days, the mela grounds will transform into a vibrant cultural landscape where literature meets dialogue and creativity meets celebration.</p><p><strong>A Rich Literary Landscape</strong></p><p>Leading publishers and independent presses from across India will bring a diverse collection of books in <strong>Bengali, English, Hindi, and other languages</strong>. From classics and contemporary literature to children&rsquo;s books, poetry, translations, and rare finds, the fair offers something for every reader.</p><p><strong>Conversations that Matter</strong></p><p>Thought-provoking discussions and literary sessions will feature noted writers, scholars, and cultural voices.

<p><strong>Kaza [India], March 16: </strong><em>Pie Matrix is now introducing Himachal Pradesh&rsquo;s first high-altitude public dome observatory in the spectacular Spiti Valley. Nestled amidst the pristine, naturally dark skies of the Himalayan cold desert, this one-of-its kind facility is transforming the way travellers are experiencing the universe and bridging the gap between simply looking at the stars to truly exploring them.</em></p><p>Built at one of India&rsquo;s most breathtaking dark-sky locations, the Pie Matrix Dome observatory offers visitors access to a fully equipped, rotating dome observatory structure. Usually available for reputed institutions and observatories, now, for the first time in the region, everyday travellers, students, photographers, and astronomy enthusiasts can enjoy a professional-grade stargazing experience at high altitude through the stunning dome.</p><p><strong>A New Chapter</strong></p><p>Since time immemorial, Spiti Valley has been celebrated for its raw landscapes, ancient monasteries, dramatic mountain passes, and rugged beauty. With this new initiative, the region is now stepping confidently into a new identity as India&rsquo;s emerging astro-tourism hub.</p><p>Due to its minimal light pollution, high altitude, and exceptionally clear atmospheric conditions, Spiti offers some of the finest night-sky visibility in the country, and the Pie Matrix Dome Observatory capitalizes on these natural advantages, which enables visitors to witness extraordinary celestial details live.</p><p>Rather than passive sightseeing, Pie Matrix offers an immersive cosmic exploration, so any night in Spiti can turn into an unforgettable journey through the universe.</p><p><strong>Making Space Accessible to All</strong></p><p>Conventionally, dome observatories have been limited to academic research institutions, but&nbsp;Pie Matrix&nbsp;is changing that narrative by opening the doors of advanced astronomical observation to the public. Families on vacation with kids, travellers, adventure seekers, school groups, and even local residents can now add a guided night-sky session to their Spiti itinerary. High-powered telescopes, operated by trained astronomy experts, ensure that visitors don&rsquo;t just see celestial objects; they understand the science and stories behind them.</p><p>A spokesperson from the Pie Matrix &ldquo;<em>Our vision is simple yet ambitious- to bring space closer to everyone. The night sky belongs to all of us, and through this observatory, we are giving people the chance to look through a professional telescope and experience the universe in a way that feels personal, inspiring, and memorable.&rdquo;</em></p><p><strong>Backing the Local Economy and Promoting Sustainable Tourism</strong></p><p>Beyond its scientific and experiential appeal, the observatory has also immense capability to generate profound economic impact for the region. Astro-tourism is one of the fastest-growing segments globally, and Spiti&rsquo;s natural conditions make it a brilliant destination.</p><p><strong>A Vision Beyond Tourism</strong></p><p>Along with immersive travel experiences, the long-term mission of the observatory extends far beyond tourism. The Pie Matrix Dome Observatory is envisioned as:</p><p>With the skyrocketing cesspool of urban light pollution across Indian cities, many people have never witnessed a truly dark, unfiltered night sky. To provide an escapade from this issue, the high-altitude observatory provides rare access to that disappearing experience, while also encouraging awareness around preserving natural night environments.</p><p><strong>India&rsquo;s Window to the Cosmos</strong></p><p>As India continues to make remarkable strides in space exploration and satellite missions, initiatives like this bridge scientific progress with public engagement. The Pie Matrix Observatory connects citizens emotionally with the cosmos, transforming curiosity into inspiration. In the silence of Spiti Valley, visitors are reminded of their place in a vast and awe-inspiring universe. Long known for its spiritual depth and meditative quiet, Spiti now offers something equally profound, i.e., a direct connection to the cosmos, powered by Pie Matrix.</p>

	Born from the emotional aftermath of Partition, the story weaves romance with patriotism, set against the rich cultural tapestry of the Sindhi community&mdash;a people whose resilience and enterprise have significantly shaped modern India.

	&nbsp;</p><p>
	<em>&ldquo;<strong>In a world fractured by conflict, where even smaller nations struggle to coexist, unity through diversity is the miracle of Indian heart,</strong>&rdquo;</em> says <strong>Nanwani</strong>. &ldquo;<em>If two individuals can find harmony despite their differences, so can a nation of 1.4 billion.

<p>
	MnM Talkies, one of India&rsquo;s leading podcast studios, has officially revived its award-winning audio detective series Bhaskar Bose, marking the return of one of the country&rsquo;s most beloved fictional investigators. After a three-year hiatus, the new season titled &lsquo;Bhaskar Bose: He&rsquo;s Here &ndash; Part 1&rsquo; premiered on Spotify recently, ushering in a new chapter for the iconic show and introducing a first-of-its-kind innovation in Indian audio entertainment.</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	<strong>Bhaskar Bose by MnM Talkies</strong></p><p>
	<br>
	For the first time, select episodes of the series will feature AI-generated visuals, created using OpenArt AI technology, transforming the listening experience into an immersive graphic-novel-style journey. The format allows audiences to experience the story in two ways &mdash; by closing their eyes and imagining the world through sound, or by watching it unfold through cinematic visuals designed to complement the audio storytelling.</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	<strong>MnM Talkies launches new season of Bhaskar Bose</strong></p><p>
	<br>
	The creative force behind Bhaskar Bose is Mantra Mugdh who serves as the co-writer, director, producer and the voice of the titular detective. Mantra&rsquo;s vision has helped establish the series as a benchmark in India&rsquo;s evolving audio storytelling landscape.</p><p>
	<br>
	<strong>Founder of MnM Talkies, Mantra Mugdh</strong> says, &ldquo;<em>With the new season of Bhaskar Bose, we are not replacing the theatre of the mind&mdash;we&rsquo;re giving it a visual companion. This is about seeing the sound.&rdquo; Reflecting on the journey of the show, Mantra added that Bhaskar Bose has been one of his most successful collaborations with Spotify, describing the series as an ongoing exploration of what audio storytelling can achieve when approached with the same scale, ambition, and cinematic vision as film</em>."</p><p>
	<br>
	The show follows Bhaskar Bose, a brilliant detective known for his sharp intellect and instinctive problem-solving, played by Mantra. He is joined by his loyal friend and investigative partner ACP Bikesh Das, portrayed by actor Shadaab Hashmi. Together, the duo solves complex cases in a world inspired by classic detective comics, blending suspense, wit, and richly layered characters.</p><p>
	<br>
	Since its debut in 2019, Bhaskar Bose has evolved into one of India&rsquo;s longest-running and most celebrated audio fiction series. The show was among the first three podcasts&mdash;and notably the only fiction series&mdash;launched during the entry of Spotify into India&rsquo;s podcast ecosystem. Over the years, the series has grown into a cultural phenomenon, amassing more than 250+ episodes, featuring over 100 investigative cases, and delivering 5000+ minutes of immersive storytelling. With millions of listens worldwide, Bhaskar Bose has established a powerful presence in the podcast landscape and continues to attract a loyal global audience.</p><p>
	<br>
	Bhaskar Bose has received widespread industry recognition and several prestigious accolades over the years. The series won Gold at the New York Festivals Radio Awards and has also been honored at the Exchange4Media Golden Mikes for two consecutive years (2022 and 2023). In addition, the show has been recognized at the E4M Play Streaming Media Awards and received the Impact Digital Influencer Award. Together, these accolades highlight the show&rsquo;s significant impact on the audio entertainment industry and its pioneering role in popularizing audio fiction in India.</p><p>
	<br>
	Over time, the show has cultivated a vibrant global fan community, complete with dedicated fan clubs, online discussion groups, and pages analyzing conspiracy theories and hidden clues from the series&rsquo; most memorable episodes. Its return has already generated a powerful response from audiences. Within hours of the new season&rsquo;s release, the show began trending on Spotify India, with longtime fans flooding social media with reactions, theories, and nostalgic tributes to the detective they had missed for three years.</p><p>
	<br>
	The new season of Bhaskar Bose is streaming now on Spotify and new episodes will be released every 15 days. Watch the trailer - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DVdHnbGjrNS/">www.instagram.com/p/DVdHnbGjrNS</a>.</p><p>

<p>Over the past decade, Sattyajeet has quietly built a reputation within&nbsp;<strong>Rotaract District 3131</strong>&nbsp;as someone who believes in action-oriented leadership. From participating in grassroots service initiatives to handling district-level responsibilities, his journey reflects how consistent involvement in community service can transform a young volunteer into a trusted leader.</p><p>Recently elected as the&nbsp;<strong>District Rotaract Representative Nominee (DRRN)</strong>&nbsp;of Rotaract District 3131, Sattyajeet&rsquo;s story highlights the impact of long-term commitment within the Rotaract movement.</p><p>Sattyajeet&rsquo;s association with Rotaract began in&nbsp;<strong>2015</strong>, when he joined as a&nbsp;<strong>Charter Member of the Rotaract Club of Marathwada Mitra Mandal Pune Kothrud</strong>. Like many students entering Rotaract for the first time, he initially participated in club meetings, social initiatives, and youth programs that aimed to build leadership skills while serving the community.</p><p>Over time, his involvement grew deeper. His enthusiasm for organizing activities, participating in discussions, and contributing ideas gradually led him into leadership roles within the club.</p><p>He served in several key positions including&nbsp;<strong>Membership Development Director and Vice President</strong>, eventually becoming&nbsp;<strong>Club President in RI Year 2019&ndash;20</strong>. During his tenure as president, the club experienced an active and impactful year, completing&nbsp;<strong>more than 137 service projects</strong>&nbsp;focused on social welfare, youth engagement, and community outreach.</p><p>These initiatives ranged from awareness drives and leadership workshops to community-based service programs that addressed real societal needs.</p><p>Beyond the club platform, Sattyajeet&rsquo;s journey naturally progressed toward district-level responsibilities. Within&nbsp;<strong>Rotaract District 3131</strong>, he has taken on several roles that allowed him to contribute to the larger Rotaract network.</p><p>Over the years, he has served as&nbsp;<strong>District Cultural Co-Convener, District Director &ndash; Community Service, District Chair for Rotasia &amp; SEARIC Summit, District Legal Consultant, and District Treasurer</strong>. Through these roles, he has worked closely with Rotaractors from across the district, supporting the planning and execution of numerous initiatives.</p><p>His involvement includes participation in several important Rotaract events such as&nbsp;<strong>District Assemblies, District Conferences, Sports Meets, Cultural Festivals, Youth Seminars, Dandiya Nights, and Rotary District Conferences</strong>. These events not only strengthen bonds among Rotaractors but also create platforms for learning, leadership training, and collaboration.</p><p>One of the major highlights of his journey was contributing to&nbsp;<strong>Rotasia Pune</strong>, a large international Rotaract event that brought together&nbsp;<strong>over 1100 Rotaractors from Southeast Asia</strong>. Being involved in organizing and coordinating such a massive gathering provided valuable experience in teamwork, management, and cross-cultural collaboration.</p><p>Throughout his Rotaract journey, Sattyajeet has remained focused on projects that bring tangible benefits to society. Many of the initiatives he supported were aimed at addressing issues such as&nbsp;<strong>youth development, health awareness, women empowerment, road safety, and community welfare</strong>.</p><p>During his time in district leadership roles, he also played a part in fundraising and sponsorship initiatives that helped the district carry out impactful projects. These included facilitating&nbsp;<strong>donations for an emergency ambulance in Pune city</strong>&nbsp;and helping secure&nbsp;<strong>accidental insurance coverage worth over &#8377;12 crore for Rotaractors</strong>&nbsp;through sponsorship support.</p><p>Such initiatives highlight how Rotaract not only serves communities but also strengthens support systems for young volunteers engaged in service.</p><p>Alongside his Rotaract journey, Sattyajeet has built a promising career as a lawyer. Enrolled with the&nbsp;<strong>Bar Council of India</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Bar Council of Maharashtra &amp; Goa</strong>, he practices in areas such as&nbsp;<strong>criminal law, cyber law, NDPS law, family law, forensic matters, and consumer disputes</strong>.</p><p>Holding an&nbsp;<strong>LL.M. from Savitribai Phule Pune University</strong>, he has handled several cases related to&nbsp;<strong>cybercrime, financial fraud, cryptocurrency scams, and digital identity theft</strong>.</p><p>Understanding the importance of legal awareness among citizens, he introduced&nbsp;<strong>Project Nyaya Sanhita</strong>, a legal awareness initiative designed to educate communities&mdash;particularly in rural areas&mdash;about their legal rights and responsibilities.</p><p>Conducted in collaboration with the&nbsp;<strong>District Legal Services Authority, Pune</strong>, the project aims to bridge the gap between legal knowledge and public awareness, ensuring that people better understand the laws that affect their everyday lives.</p><p>Sattyajeet&rsquo;s contributions have earned recognition both within Rotaract and in the legal field. He has been honored as a&nbsp;<strong>Paul Harris Fellow</strong>, one of the highest recognitions in the Rotary community.</p><p>In addition, he has been recognized by&nbsp;<strong>N Magazine and Google as one of the Top 3 Young Advocates in India for Cyber and NDPS practice</strong>.</p><p>His achievements extend beyond law and service as well. During his student years, he actively participated in&nbsp;<strong>national debate competitions, moot court competitions, and youth cultural events</strong>, winning several awards.</p><p>He also explored the performing arts, winning&nbsp;<strong>Best Actor at the BMCC Youth Festival</strong>&nbsp;and appearing in the&nbsp;<strong>Marathi film &ldquo;Sajinde&rdquo; released in 2021</strong>, along with participation in short films and theatre performances.</p><p>Rotaract District 3131 continues to grow as a vibrant network of young leaders committed to service and professional development. The district recently witnessed a significant milestone with the&nbsp;<strong>inauguration of South Asia&rsquo;s first Rotary Peace Center at Symbiosis International University in Pune</strong>.</p><p>The center aims to train future leaders in&nbsp;<strong>peacebuilding, conflict resolution, and global cooperation</strong>, further strengthening Rotary&rsquo;s global mission of promoting peace through education and leadership.</p><p>After nearly&nbsp;<strong>ten years of active involvement in Rotaract</strong>, Sattyajeet Karale Patil&rsquo;s election as&nbsp;<strong>District Rotaract Representative Nominee</strong>&nbsp;represents another important step in his journey.</p><p>From a charter member learning the basics of community service to a district leader guiding initiatives across Rotaract District 3131, his path illustrates how sustained dedication can shape effective leadership.</p><p>As he continues balancing his legal career with community initiatives, Sattyajeet remains committed to the values that define Rotaract&mdash;<strong>service, leadership, and the belief that young professionals can create meaningful change when they work together.</strong></p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.

The event was organized by <strong>Colors Events and Activation</strong>&nbsp;with the support of <strong>Triom Club operator Suresh Gondaliya.</strong></p><p><img src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-1-19.jpg" alt="&lsquo;Mudfest&rsquo; Celebrated with Great Enthusiasm in Surat on Dhuleti by Triom Club-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>Mudfest organizers <strong>Arnab Moitra</strong> and <strong>Krish Wadhwani </strong>jointly shared that this is the first event of its kind in India that promotes celebrating traditional Dhuleti in an organic way. Instead of chemical colours, <strong>Multani mitti and natural soil</strong> were used, allowing people to enjoy the festival in a safe and distinctive manner. They also mentioned that just like people travel to Spain to participate in the famous <strong>La Tomatina festival,</strong> Mudfest too aims to gain international recognition in the future, encouraging people to visit Surat specially to experience it.</p><p><img src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2-11.jpg" alt="&lsquo;Mudfest&rsquo; Celebrated with Great Enthusiasm in Surat on Dhuleti by Triom Club-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>This year marked the <strong>sixth edition of Mudfest in Surat. </strong>After a gap of a few years during the COVID period, the event returned and witnessed a large turnout, making it memorable.

<p><em>From teenage losses and market crashes to homemakers becoming business owners, the couple share raw stories that challenge India&rsquo;s middle-class money narrative in a candid conversation with Siddharth Kannan, a media powerhouse with over three decades of influence across radio, television and digital platforms, whose interviews and podcasts have garnered over 850+ million views on YouTube, with 350+ videos on YouTube&rsquo;s Top 10 trending list.</em></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 07: </strong>Stock market strategy, money mindset, and personal belief systems came together in a candid conversation as trader and mentor Vishal B Malkan and manifestation coach Meghana V Malkan joined popular digital host Siddharth Kannan for an insightful podcast episode that blends market experience with personal transformation.</p><p><img src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-07-03-26-4.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>During the discussion, Vishal B Malkan spoke in detail about his early journey in the stock market and the challenges he faced while trying to understand the market&rsquo;s unpredictable nature. He revealed that it took him nearly 12 years of consistent learning, observation, and discipline before he fully trusted the system he had built for trading. According to Malkan, the journey included studying more than 400 books on markets, psychology, and investing while carefully analysing market cycles, the turbulence surrounding the 2008 Global Financial Crisis.</p><p>Reflecting on that phase, he explained how developing a structured approach helped him see patterns in the market that many traders often ignore. His experience, he said, reinforced the importance of patience, risk management, and long-term learning rather than chasing quick profits.</p><p>Meghana V Malkan, on the other hand, spoke about the psychological side of money and how deeply ingrained beliefs can shape a person&rsquo;s financial reality. Sharing her personal experience, she said that growing up in a typical middle-class environment often meant believing that financial success could only come through extremely hard work and long hours. According to her, this belief at one point prevented her from fully accepting the possibilities that trading and investing could bring.</p><p>She further explained how working on belief systems through practices such as visualisation, gratitude, and conscious mindset shifts gradually changed her relationship with money. Meghana also shared the example of a homemaker who approached her with doubts about financial independence. Over time, through consistent mindset work and action, the woman went on to build her own independent business within five years.</p><p>Throughout the conversation, Siddharth Kannan steered the discussion towards a larger question that many people face when it comes to financial growth &ndash; whether the real barriers are external circumstances or the internal stories individuals keep repeating about money, success, and what they believe they deserve.</p><p>The episode offers a mix of market insights, personal stories, and discussions around financial psychology, giving viewers a perspective on how both strategy and mindset can influence long-term success.</p><p>Watch Full Episode Here:<br>

<p><strong>Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], March 09: </strong>In today&rsquo;s property market, I see many buyers entering with the wrong expectations. Social media, aggressive promotions, and market rumours often create the impression that real estate is about quick profits. In my experience, that mindset usually leads to disappointment.</p><p>For me, real estate has never been about flipping properties for short-term gains. It has always been about building long-term wealth through structured and informed decisions. At Team Aman Chawla, our approach is simple &mdash; strategy first, transaction second.</p><p><img src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-20.jpg" alt="Building Long-Term Wealth Through Smart Real Estate Choices-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>Real estate does not reward impatience. Markets move in cycles. There are growth phases, consolidation periods, and corrections. If someone enters the market expecting immediate returns, they are reacting to noise, not fundamentals.</p><p>When I advise clients, I encourage them to look at a five-to-ten-year horizon. Infrastructure development, commercial expansion, and population growth take time. But when these factors align, appreciation follows naturally. Long-term wealth is built by holding quality assets, not by constantly chasing the next opportunity.</p><p>Many people believe that purchasing property automatically makes them investors. I disagree. Buying is easy. Investing requires analysis.</p><p>Before recommending any property &mdash; whether residential, commercial, or plotted development &mdash; I ask practical questions:</p><p>&#9679; Is the location supported by genuine infrastructure growth?<br>
&#9679; Does the developer have a strong delivery record?<br>
&#9679; Is there consistent rental demand in the area?<br>
&#9679; How liquid will this asset be in the future?</p><p>These questions may not sound exciting, but they protect capital. Emotional buying, driven by marketing pressure, often leads to poor outcomes. I believe clarity should always come before commitment.</p><p>Capital appreciation is important, but rental income plays an equally powerful role in long-term wealth creation. A property that generates stable income allows investors to hold confidently during slower market phases.</p><p>When clients are not financially pressured, they make better long-term decisions. Over time, rental growth combined with appreciation creates a compounding effect that significantly strengthens overall returns.</p><p>This is why I often advise investors to evaluate not just the purchase price, but also income potential and holding capacity.</p><p>In my experience, the strongest appreciation happens in areas backed by real development &mdash; highways, metro connectivity, commercial hubs, educational institutions, and business corridors.</p><p>Speculation fades quickly. Infrastructure remains.</p><p>At Team Aman Chawla, we spend considerable time analysing growth corridors and emerging micro-markets. I prefer guiding clients towards areas with measurable structural progress rather than locations driven by temporary hype.</p><p>We do not predict sudden spikes. We look for sustainable momentum.</p><p>One of the biggest risks in property investment is urgency. &ldquo;Last few units,&rdquo; &ldquo;price revision tomorrow,&rdquo; and similar messages often push buyers into rushed decisions.</p><p>I encourage clients to slow down. Real estate involves significant capital and long-term commitment. A decision made under pressure rarely aligns with long-term financial goals.</p><p>It is equally important not to become emotionally attached to a brand name. If two projects are launching in the same location, the stronger brand is not automatically the better investment. Long-term value depends on fundamentals, location growth, pricing, supply dynamics, and future infrastructure, not just reputation.</p><p>Our advisory process is designed to bring clarity. We compare options, evaluate risks, and align investments with the client&rsquo;s financial profile. Our objective is not to close quickly; it is to ensure the decision stands strong years later.</p><p>In addition to client advisory, I also document ongoing market shifts, infrastructure developments, and project analysis through structured video explainers on <strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/team_aman_chawla/">Instagram</a> (@teamamanchawla)</strong>,&nbsp;along with regular detailed insights on<strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/teamamanchawla">YouTube</a> (@teamamanchawla)</strong>, helping individuals and families make more informed property decisions over time.</p><p>Over the years, I have worked with first-time buyers, experienced investors, and commercial clients. One principle remains consistent &mdash; diversification strengthens portfolios.</p><p>Residential properties may provide stability.<br>
Commercial assets may offer stronger rental yields.<br>
Plotted developments can deliver long-term capital appreciation.</p><p>There is no single formula that works for everyone. Each strategy must align with individual financial objectives, risk appetite, and liquidity planning.</p><p>Unlike many volatile investment instruments, property is tangible. It provides security, leverage, and long-term value. It can be lived in, leased, or passed on.</p><p>However, not every property builds wealth. Only the right property &mdash; selected carefully, purchased responsibly, and held patiently &mdash; has that potential.</p><p>I believe real estate should strengthen financial security year after year.

<p><strong>Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], March 09:</strong> On the occasion of Women&rsquo;s Day, Mahira Bherwani, Assistant Director of Global Energy Food Industries Pvt. Ltd shared her inspiring journey of leadership as a woman.&nbsp;</p><p>&ldquo;If someone asks what I&rsquo;m chasing, I won&rsquo;t say money or status,&rdquo; she says.</p><p>&ldquo;I want impact. I want the rooms that once intimidated me to eventually feel familiar.&rdquo;</p><p>I want to build something with my name on it, not borrowed, not handed over.</p><p>Every morning brings something she values deeply.</p><p>Purpose.</p><p>&ldquo;There is no better feeling than waking up knowing you have something meaningful to work towards,&rdquo; she says.</p><p>There is something powerful about the time we are living in. Across industries and cities, women are stepping into spaces that once felt distant or unfamiliar. They are exploring new fields, learning new trades, and gradually reshaping the idea of leadership &mdash; not by forcing change, but by showing up with purpose and perspective.</p><p>Mahira Bherwani represents this quiet but meaningful shift.</p><p>Working with Global Energy Food Industries Pvt. Ltd., she currently serves as Assistant Director alongside her father. The company operates in FMCG manufacturing and agro-commodities trade and exports &mdash; industries that demand agility, discipline, and constant learning.</p><p>While working within the existing operations, she also chose to expand the business vertically by introducing new products into the company&rsquo;s basket. This allowed her to understand the ecosystem of the business from the ground up &mdash; from production processes to market dynamics and trade &mdash; helping identify gaps and shape improvements across different areas.</p><p>A typical day for her may include discussions on trade, overseeing operations, understanding products, production planning, export documentation, and working on new product development &mdash; all while observing how everyday decisions shape the direction of a company.</p><p>&ldquo;Right now, my work involves everything and anything,&rdquo; she says.</p><p>&ldquo;My story is still being written,&rdquo; she says.</p><p>&ldquo;I have only just begun, with many more opportunities and lessons ahead.&rdquo;</p><p>And perhaps that is what makes her journey meaningful. Not the title, nor the expectation &mdash; but the quiet determination to learn, to build, and to grow step by step.</p><p>Because sometimes the most powerful legacy is not simply success.</p><p>It is the courage to begin &mdash; and the resilience to keep going until the vision becomes real.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<p><b>Mumbai, March 2025 </b>&mdash; Actor and committed human rights advocate Sheena Chohan chose to observe International Women&rsquo;s Day not with ceremonial events, but with direct, hands-on engagement in one of Asia&rsquo;s largest informal settlements&mdash;Dharavi.</p><p>On the day dedicated to women&rsquo;s achievements and gender equality, Sheena spent hours with school students, young artists, and community youth, facilitating open conversations about self-confidence, equality between genders, and the everyday relevance of fundamental human rights. Rather than delivering a conventional speech, she created space for dialogue, listening as much as she spoke, and distributed specially prepared educational booklets and kits that explain core concepts of dignity, justice, and equal treatment in simple, accessible language.</p><p>&ldquo;Real progress begins when young people feel confident enough to speak up about equality,&rdquo; Sheena said during the interactions. &ldquo;Women&rsquo;s Day reminds us that empowerment is not only about celebration&mdash;it&rsquo;s about awareness, courage, and creating spaces where girls and boys grow up believing that respect and safety are fundamental values.&rdquo;</p><p>A key part of the day&rsquo;s program took place in collaboration with The Dharavi Dream Project, a youth-led creative learning initiative that uses hip-hop, music, dance, and storytelling to build confidence and community voice among Dharavi&rsquo;s young residents. Bringing together students and emerging performers, the session explored how creative expression can serve as a powerful tool to discuss equality, challenge stereotypes, and amplify marginalized perspectives within densely populated urban neighbourhoods.</p><p>Later, Sheena conducted and supported a focused seminar with Udayan Care, an organisation long active in providing education, mentorship, and life-skills support to vulnerable children and youth, many of whom are growing up without stable family environments. The seminar emphasised practical knowledge of rights, the importance of self-advocacy, and pathways to independent, dignified futures.</p><p>Throughout the day&rsquo;s activities, the underlying message remained consistent: International Women&rsquo;s Day should be more than symbolic. For Sheena, it is an occasion to plant seeds of awareness and courage&mdash;especially among adolescent girls and boys&mdash;so they internalise the belief that equality and personal safety are non-negotiable rights, not privileges.</p><p>By choosing Dharavi as the location for her Women&rsquo;s Day initiative, Sheena deliberately stepped into a space often associated with economic hardship and limited access to structured education. Her presence, paired with tangible resources and interactive sessions, aimed to counter that narrative by showing young residents that knowledge of rights is itself a form of power.</p><p>Observers familiar with her earlier advocacy work note that this approach reflects a consistent pattern: using her public platform to move beyond awareness-raising into direct community action. Whether through educational materials, creative workshops, or structured seminars, the emphasis remains on long-term impact&mdash;equipping the next generation with the language, confidence, and understanding needed to claim and protect their rights.</p><p>As the day concluded, participants left with more than printed booklets; many carried new questions, fresh perspectives, and the quiet realisation that change often begins in small, intentional conversations held in familiar surroundings.</p><p>For Sheena Chohan, the work does not end with one day. She has indicated that initiatives like these are part of a continuing effort to reach young people across different communities, using dialogue, creativity, and education to reinforce the principle that dignity, equality, and human rights belong to everyone&mdash;without exception.</p>

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 05:</strong> This Women&rsquo;s Day month, internationally acclaimed comedian <a href="https://www.sharulchanna.com/">Sharul Channa</a>, recognised among Asia&rsquo;s Top 10 comedians and Singapore&rsquo;s only full-time female stand-up comedian, returns to her roots with a highly anticipated multi-city India tour.</p><p>Titled <a href="https://www.theticket9.com/event/saree-these-are-just-jokes-coimbatore"><strong><em>&ldquo;Saree, These Are Just Jokes&rdquo;</em></strong></a><a href="https://www.theticket9.com/event/saree-these-are-just-jokes-coimbatore">,</a> Sharul will tour across <strong>Coimbatore (13 March), Chennai (14 March), Bengaluru (20 March), Mumbai (21 March), Pune (22 March), Baroda (26th March), Chandigarh (3rd April) and Hyderabad (5 April),</strong> bringing her signature fearless humour, razor-sharp storytelling, and unfiltered cultural commentary to audiences across the country.</p><p>In an industry still largely male-dominated, Sharul has carved a distinctive space &mdash; bold, sharp and deeply authentic. Her comedy explores identity, diaspora life, cultural contradictions, and the everyday realities of modern women navigating multiple worlds.</p><p>This multi-city tour marks two significant milestones in Sharul&rsquo;s career. As she completes 15 years in stand-up comedy, she also becomes the first Singapore-based Indian comedian to undertake an extensive eight-city tour across India &mdash; a testament to her growing cross-border influence and the rising cultural exchange between India and Singapore.</p><p>This tour also marks a powerful collaboration with Suta, the women-led saree brand founded by sisters Sujata and Taniya Biswas. Known for redefining sarees for the contemporary woman, Suta blends handwoven traditions with comfort, individuality, and conscious design.</p><p>As the official wardrobe collaborator for the tour, Suta becomes an extension of Sharul&rsquo;s narrative &mdash; confident, contemporary, rooted, and self-expressive. Performing in a saree is not a costume choice, but a statement. Together, Sharul and Suta challenge long-held stereotypes: that comedy must look a certain way, that tradition is restrictive, or that femininity must be softened to be powerful.</p><p>Speaking about her upcoming India tour, Sharul Channa shares <strong><em>&ldquo;</em></strong>This India tour feels incredibly special because I&rsquo;m coming home not just as a comedian, but as a woman who has built her voice across cultures. Stand-up comedy is still a male-dominated space, and I&rsquo;ve had to constantly challenge what people think a comedian should look like, sound like, or talk about. Performing in a saree this tour, in collaboration with Suta, is my way of saying that tradition and rebellion can coexist. The saree isn&rsquo;t a costume &mdash; it&rsquo;s identity. It&rsquo;s strength. It is heritage worn on my terms. As someone who lives between India and Singapore, I&rsquo;ve learned that humour travels across borders, but authenticity is universal. This Women&rsquo;s Day month, I hope audiences see that taking up space &mdash; loudly, unapologetically &mdash; is not just powerful, it&rsquo;s necessary.&rdquo;</p><p>Sharul&rsquo;s journey from India to Singapore and onto global comedy stages mirrors the growing cultural exchange between India and Singapore. With deep diaspora ties and expanding collaborations across business, arts and entertainment, the two nations share a dynamic relationship &mdash; and Sharul&rsquo;s cross-border career stands as a contemporary example of that connection. Her homecoming tour becomes not just a performance series, but a celebration of how Indian voices are shaping and thriving on global stages.</p><p>The show features all-new material exploring modern womanhood, multicultural identity, relationships, societal expectations, and the absurdities women navigate daily &mdash; delivered with her trademark wit and refreshing honesty.</p><p>Don&rsquo;t miss out on the chance to witness one of the most exciting and influential voices in comedy today. Sharul Channa is not just making it big &ndash; she&rsquo;s redefining the landscape for women in comedy.</p><p>With Hyderabad already sold out, the tour is generating strong audience interest across cities.</p><p>For more details and enquiry about tickets, check:</p><p><strong>About Sharul Channa</strong></p><p>Sharul Channa is Singapore&rsquo;s only full-time female stand-up comedian, with over 15 years of experience in the industry. Renowned for her sharp and fearless takes on social issues, identity, and gender dynamics, she brings a unique perspective shaped by her multicultural heritage as an Indian growing up in Singapore.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 07</strong>: After crossing the age of 40, majority of Indian women&rsquo;s lives are typically limited to daily work and family life, but Kiran Deoli Uniyal of Uttarakhand has shattered this notion. 53-year-old Kiran Uniyal is the first &nbsp;woman to hold the most martial arts world records in India. Kiran holds 84 world records in martial arts, fitness, and social work, including 18 Guinness World Records. She holds 74 world records in martial arts speed strikes and kicks, including 15 Guinness World Records. Her three Guinness World Records, which still stand, are: 28,234 punches in one hour; 590 punches in one minute with 1kg dumbbell in both hands; and 347 punches with one hand with 1kg dumbbell in one minute.</p><p><img src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-07T165739.594.jpg" alt="- Kiran Deoli Uniyal: First Indian woman to hold most martial arts world records-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>Originally from Rudraprayag, married into Saknoli village, Pauri, and currently residing in Delhi, Kiran Uniyal initially took up martial arts out of a desire for personal fitness and self-protection. This personal pursuit soon transformed into a larger mission to inspire and empower. She worked on her stamina, speed, and skill to achieve the records. A strict vegetarian, Kiran still practices martial arts for three to four hours daily. Through her dedication to martial arts, she supports its importance in sports, fitness, and, most importantly, self-defense. Now, Kiran is an inspiration to children, girls, and women. She wants every woman to learn self-defense and empower herself to face any unsafe situation.</p><p>Every strike and achievement Kiran Uniyal achieves in martial arts is not just a display of physical strength, but a powerful statement of women&rsquo;s empowerment and capability. Kiran has earned a third dan black belt in Taekwondo, is trained &nbsp;in Israeli martial art Krav Maga, and has learned various martial arts disciplines. Her husband, Colonel Sunil Kumar Uniyal (Retd.), has been a constant supporter of her throughout her journey to world records and martial arts success. Sunil Uniyal himself is a fitness enthusiast and a marathon runner.</p><p>Currently, Kiran works as a martial arts motivator, practitioner, and social worker, promoting martial arts for fitness, self-defense, and sports. As Kiran Uniyal continues to forge her own path, she remains a source of inspiration and strength. Her story isn&rsquo;t just about the records she&rsquo;s achieved; it&rsquo;s about the societal norms she challenges and the example she sets for generations to come.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.

Women who come from a background that is very humble and far away from all the glitter and glamour. They are a core of a country and play a strong role in making India a stronger nation. This year too, we have a varied portfolio, who truly deserve a stage and recognition. I feel fortunate and blessed to have gotten this opportunity to serve my country with this little initiative that we started 5 years ago. I&rsquo;m thankful to everyone who has supported me and helped in growing this initiative.&rdquo;</p><p>With a vision to bring a change and build recognition for the ones who deserve it, Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar Mahila Samman is not just any regular Women&rsquo;s Day award, but stick to a higher cause.

<p><strong>Surat (Gujarat) [India], March 09: </strong>Two students from Surat-based civil services coaching institute Bubna&rsquo;s IAS have successfully cleared the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examination, bringing recognition to the city.</p><p>Kaushal Bubna, Director of Bubna&rsquo;s IAS, said that the coaching centre has been operating in Surat for the past six years, guiding students preparing for the UPSC examination. He said that for the past three consecutive years, students associated with the institute have been achieving success in the prestigious examination, and this year as well two candidates have cleared the exam with notable All-India ranks, he said.</p><p>One of the successful candidates, Dr. Kishan Ram, secured All-India Rank 474 in the UPSC exam. After completing his MBBS from BJ Medical College, Ahmedabad, he went on to complete his MD in Physiology. This was Dr. Ram&rsquo;s fifth attempt at the UPSC examination and his first appearance at the interview stage. Based on his rank, he is likely to be allotted the Indian Police Service (IPS).</p><p>The second successful candidate is Tanmay, who originally hails from Patna and has a degree in Chemical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur. This was his sixth attempt at the UPSC examination, in which he secured All-India Rank 229. He too is expected to be allotted the IPS.</p><p>Kaushal Bubna said the achievement is significant for Surat, as the city has historically had limited representation in the UPSC examination. He added that as a teacher, seeing his students succeed in such a prestigious examination is a matter of great pride and satisfaction.</p><p>The successful candidates shared insights into their preparation for the examination, the challenges they faced, and their experiences during the process. They credited their success to consistent hard work, the support of their parents, and the guidance provided by their teachers at the institute.</p>

<p>Actor Seerat Kapoor has always been known for carrying grace and composure both on and off screen. However, the actress recently shared a firm note on professionalism; a message that has quietly sparked conversations within industry circles.</p><p>Taking to her platform, Seerat reflected on a side of the entertainment industry that rarely comes into public view: honouring professional commitments once the work is done.</p><p>In a strongly worded statement, the actress addressed the importance of accountability when it comes to financial obligations towards the teams that work behind the scenes.</p><p>She wrote:</p><p>&ldquo;Work is remembered long after the cameras stop rolling. So is the professionalism that follows it.</p><p>It has now been four months since a production has failed to honour its financial commitments. Despite the patience shown during a personal medical emergency in my family, payments towards my staff have failed and even a cheque issued to the team has bounced.</p><p>I would strongly advise the concerned team to resolve this without further delay and not test this situation any further, before I am compelled to take the necessary steps.&rdquo;</p><p>While the actress chose not to name the production involved, her message highlights a larger issue that many professionals across the industry quietly face: delayed payments and unfulfilled commitments long after projects are completed.</p><p>Sources close to the actress report that Seerat has always preferred to resolve matters privately. However, after months of patience and continued delays impacting her team, she felt it was important to draw a clear line.</p><p>In an industry built on collaboration and trust, Seerat Kapoor&rsquo;s message stands as a reminder that respecting commitments off-screen is just as important as the work delivered on-screen and that those who stand by their teams will always be remembered for it.</p>

<p></p><p><br></p><p></p><p>The event carried added significance because of its timing. The team deliberately aligned the unveiling with Women&rsquo;s Day to honour the strong, central female characters who drive much of the emotional core in the <em>Rabb Da Radio</em> franchise. The newly released poster captures the same warmth, family-centric values, and heartfelt Punjabi essence that made the earlier films connect so deeply with audiences across generations.</p><p>Leading the cast are Tarsem Jassar and Nimrat Khaira, two of the most recognised names in contemporary Punjabi entertainment. Both bring established popularity from their music and acting careers, raising expectations for how their on-screen chemistry will shape the third instalment of the beloved series.</p><p>Vehli Janta Films presents the project, with Manpreet Singh Johal serving as producer. Harry Bhatti directs the film, while Jaypee Singh handles cinematography. The press conference saw attendance from several key cast members who form the rich ensemble supporting the leads. Among those present were veteran actors Nirmal Rishi, Ronak Joshi, Jatinder Kaur, Sunita Dhir, Seema Kaushal, Gurpreet Bhangu, Rupinder Rupi, Satwant Kaur, Pawan Johal, Kulbir Virk, Amanjot Amu, Sanshi, and Apneet Bajwa. Their participation underscored the film&rsquo;s commitment to portraying layered family dynamics and community stories.</p><p>The <em>Rabb Da Radio</em> series has built a loyal following over the years by blending romance, drama, village life, and timeless Punjabi traditions without relying on excessive glamour or formulaic twists. Fans appreciate its grounded storytelling and emotional authenticity. With <em>Rabb Da Radio 3</em>, the makers appear intent on preserving that signature tone while introducing fresh faces and perspectives.</p><p>The simultaneous release of the poster and the first track has already started conversations online and within Punjabi film circles. The visuals and music snippet suggest continuity in the franchise&rsquo;s focus on love, gratitude, relationships, and cultural roots&mdash;elements that have consistently resonated in Punjab and its diaspora.</p><p>As the theatrical release date of 3 April 2026 draws closer, anticipation is steadily rising. Punjabi audiences, who have long embraced family-oriented narratives, are looking forward to another chapter that promises to deliver both nostalgia and emotional depth.</p><p>






</p><p>The thoughtful decision to mark International Women&rsquo;s Day with this launch not only paid tribute to women&rsquo;s contributions on and off screen but also reinforced the film&rsquo;s central message of respect, family, and enduring bonds. For now, with the first visuals and sound out in the open, <em>Rabb Da Radio 3</em> has successfully captured attention and set the stage for what many expect to be one of the standout Punjabi releases of the year.</p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 28:</strong> The Government of Delhi, through Delhi Tourism &amp; Transportation Development Corporation Ltd., hosted an evening that announced, in style, the upcoming festival running 25 &ndash; 31 March. Held at the elegant Leela Palace in Chanakyapuri, the event brought together government leaders, filmmakers, cultural curators, and the media to unveil the festival&rsquo;s vision, programming highlights, and international tie-ups.</p><p>In her presence as the chief guest, CM Rekha Gupta welcomed the plan to position the capital as a global cinematic destination. Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra led the evening, which attracted eminent figures from the film and entertainment sectors, industry partners, and press representatives.</p><p>&ldquo;Delhi has always shaped culture, not followed it. With International Film Festival Delhi, we are creating a public festival that belongs to the people of this city,&rdquo; says the Hon&rsquo;ble Chief Minister of Delhi, Mrs Rekha Gupta. &ldquo;This is not an event for a few insiders. It is a city-wide celebration of cinema that supports creativity, creates opportunity and places Delhi firmly on the global cultural map.&rdquo;</p><p>What unfolded was part announcement, part showcase. The organisers revealed a slate of premieres, neighbourhood screenings, masterclasses, live performances, and cultural activations designed to showcase the city&rsquo;s UNESCO sites, heritage monuments, and living neighbourhoods to filmmakers and audiences from around the world. Planners emphasised that the festival is meant to open doors for production teams, storytellers, and local talent and to seed long-term film tourism opportunities.</p><p>&ldquo;Delhi is set to host its first International Film Festival a landmark initiative inspired by the Hon&rsquo;ble Chief Minister&rsquo;s vision. With 2,000+ entries from 100+ countries and screenings across the city, this will be an inclusive platform celebrating global and Indian cinema, and a sustained effort to promote cultural diversity and nation-building through film.&rdquo; says the Hon&rsquo;ble Tourism Minister, Delhi, Mr Kapil Mishra.</p><p><img src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-1-50.jpg" alt="Delhi Government Sets the Tone for a City Wide Celebration of Film Culture and Film Tourism-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p><p><strong>Highlights from the evening:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>&bull; The evening highlighted the programming overview and the international partnerships that will shape the March festival.<br>
&bull; A preview of world and Indian premieres to be staged at major venues and community screenings across the city.<br>
&bull; Announcements on masterclasses, talent platforms and industry roundtables aimed at connecting local creators with global collaborators.<br>
&bull; Cultural performances that mixed classical and contemporary forms, reinforcing the festival&rsquo;s city-wide footprint.</p><p>&ldquo;IFFD is not a one-week spectacle. We are building a cultural institution for Delhi that grows year after year,&rdquo; shares the MD &amp; CEO of DTTDC, Mr Suneel Anchipaka, IAS. &ldquo;We want to give citizens a festival they can truly participate in and take pride in. One that attracts visitors to join us in Delhi to partake in the celebrations&rdquo;</p><p>Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra, Festival Director, said: &ldquo;IFFD is a platform for the youth, to challenge themselves and be challenged, to be inspired and to inspire, to discover and be discovered. There are several inspiring stories waiting to be told and the International Film Festival Delhi is the platform to ignite a new flame for cinema. Through the festival we also seek to amplify Delhi&rsquo;s stories, from its neighbourhoods to its stages, and to connect local talent with global audiences. I&rsquo;m honoured to help build a festival that truly belongs to the city.&rdquo;</p><p>Actor Divya Dutta said: &ldquo;As a Delhi girl, these streets are part of me. I&rsquo;ve played characters shaped by the city&rsquo;s humour and grit, and I&rsquo;m proud to welcome IFFD, a festival that brings those neighbourhood stories to a wider audience.&rdquo;</p><p>Actor Nimrat Kaur said: &ldquo;Delhi shaped me, from DPS Noida to Shri Ram College of Commerce and the city&rsquo;s endless, messy journeys on U-specials, and it was there I found the stories I needed to tell. The Lunchbox proved that the most intimate story can be the most universal; cinema carries feeling across languages and borders. That&rsquo;s exactly what IFFD stands for, a space where local voices find global audiences. As someone who has lived on both sides of the camera, I&rsquo;m proud to be part of this festival and to champion the young storytellers of Delhi: tell your story honestly, unapologetically, and the world will listen.&rdquo;</p><p><img src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-79.jpg" alt="Delhi Government Sets the Tone for a City Wide Celebration of Film Culture and Film Tourism-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>Actor Arjun Kapoor said: &ldquo;There&rsquo;s something about Delhi, its energy, its diversity, its conversations, its myriad cultures. It carries centuries of history comfortably with its cool modern energy. IFFD taps into that composite facet of the city, bringing together artistes and storytellers from across the country under one roof. I see IFFD as a reminder that stories can start anywhere, and a city as multifaceted as this has plenty waiting to be told. In Delhi, something powerful is always about to begin. I&rsquo;m excited to experience it with everyone.&rdquo;</p><p>The organisers noted the festival&rsquo;s dual purpose: to stage a compelling cultural event and create sustainable opportunities for film production and storytelling in the capital. The message was clear: this isn&rsquo;t just a week of screenings; it&rsquo;s a strategic push to make the city a preferred destination for filmmakers, production houses and cultural tourism.</p><p>Sabbas Joseph, Co-founder and Director of Wizcraft Entertainment Group, said: &ldquo;What we launched today goes beyond a festival format; it establishes a global cultural property. At this scale, the platform creates meaningful opportunities for Indian and international storytellers to connect, collaborate and find audiences worldwide. The sheer largeness and ambition of the project signal that Delhi is stepping onto the world stage as a lasting hub for cinema and cultural exchange.&rdquo;</p><p>The execution of this cinematic extravaganza is being led by Wizcraft Entertainment Group, known for its large-scale cultural and entertainment productions. Like the pageantry of the IIFA Awards, IFFI and GIMA, Wizcraft brings the sheer scale and &ldquo;wow factor&rdquo; required to make this first edition an unforgettable spectacle. While M/s KPMG is the knowledge partner, the festival is owned and organised by the Delhi Tourism &amp; Transport Development Corporation (DTTDC), Government of NCT Delhi.</p><p><strong>About IFFD&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>International Film Festival Delhi is a government-led, city-wide film festival created to showcase Indian and international cinema and make film culture accessible to all Delhi residents.

<p><strong>Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], March 03: </strong>Renowned spiritual leader and filmmaker Omguru has made his acting debut with the Hindi short film Mind Game. The film marks a new creative chapter for Omguru, who is 80 per cent physically disabled and widely recognised for his work across cinema, spirituality, and social inclusion.</p><p>Produced under the banner of Omguru Films, Mind Game sees Omguru step in front of the camera after having previously scripted and directed two award-winning films, Gaamdhani and Vardan Ke Shrap. With this latest project, he adds acting to a diverse creative portfolio that includes direction and screenwriting. He is also the founder of the Ahmedabad International Film Festival (AIFF), which provides a platform for both established and emerging voices in cinema.</p><p>Despite significant physical challenges, Omguru has continued to pursue his artistic vision with determination, inspiring audiences and followers across India and internationally. Mind Game has been submitted to leading international film festivals, and early industry feedback has been encouraging.</p><p>Speaking about his acting debut, Omguru said, &ldquo;Whether it is writing, directing or now acting, my purpose remains the same. I want to send a clear message that physical disability does not define one&rsquo;s potential. People with disabilities do not need sympathy, but need encouragement, opportunity and a platform to show their talent. Films, with their wide reach and emotional connect, are a powerful medium to drive that change.&rdquo;</p><p>The film comes at a time when preparations are also under way for the 17th edition of the Ahmedabad International Film Festival. The upcoming edition has already witnessed strong interest with 4,700 entries till February 2026 and continuing to arrive from across the world ahead of the August deadline. AIFF 2026 is expected to further strengthen its reputation as a people-centric, culturally rooted and globally relevant celebration of cinema.</p>

<p>The
hardest part of being a creator in India is not creating content. It is earning
consistently.<p></p></p><p>India
has more than 4.5 million content creators today, spanning independent digital
creators and well-known celebrities. They shape consumer behaviour, influence
purchasing decisions, and drive cultural conversations. Yet for most of them,
content creation still does not translate into predictable income.<p></p></p><p>For
independent creators, the struggle is familiar. One campaign arrives
unexpectedly, followed by weeks of silence. Messages go unanswered.
Negotiations drag on. Income remains uncertain. Many eventually step away, not
because they lack skill, but because the system around them is unreliable.<p></p></p><p>Celebrities
face a different version of the same problem. Despite their reach, brand
conversations often move through multiple intermediaries. Managers, agents, and
coordinators add layers that slow decisions and dilute clarity. Deals are
delayed or dropped altogether, not due to lack of demand, but because access is
fragmented.<p></p></p><p>What
is changing now is the structure of the creator economy. Creators who build
clear positioning, remain professionally discoverable, and engage directly with
marketers are beginning to earn more consistently. The focus is shifting from
one-off collaborations to repeat relationships.<p></p></p><p>Platforms
like HashFame are emerging as part of this shift, acting as networking
infrastructure that enables direct connections between creators, celebrities,
and marketers. By reducing friction and improving access, they help turn
content creation from a gamble into a profession.<p></p></p><p>The
future of the creator economy in India will not be driven by virality alone. It
will be shaped by systems that allow creators to build stable, long-term
careers.<p></p></p><p>Creators

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 27: </strong>The journey of Hanuman Ansh began at Kainchi Dham, where the film&rsquo;s poster received its first blessings. Prayers were later offered at his samadhi in Vrindavan, marking an emotional beginning in the very spaces that still carry his presence.</p><p>Presented by Swambhu Media Network, the film is a biopic on Sri Neem Karoli Baba, written and directed by Dr. Vishal Chaturvedi and produced by Ragini S, Namrata Singh, and Anupriya A Nagar.

<p><strong>Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], March 03:</strong> What happens when Ahmedabad&rsquo;s most enthusiastic food lovers, creators, and tastemakers gather under one roof to honour flavour? A night that crackled with energy and appetite. After unforgettable editions in Mumbai and Pune, the ELLE Gourmet food crawl arrived at Palladium Ahmedabad with a spirited momentum that turned the city&rsquo;s largest F&amp;B destination into a vibrant culinary playground.</p><p>With more than 50 dining outlets spread across the mall, the evening unfolded as a progressive feast through eight standout restaurants. The ELLE Gourmet India X Palladium Ahmedabad Food Crawl had over 70 guests check in, mingle, click photos, and embrace the excitement of exploring the city&rsquo;s most dynamic flavours together.</p><p>FOO set the tone as the meeting point for all three groups, a lively start where anticipation built over the clink of glasses, warm greetings and Pan-Asian bites, and ended with flavourful Indian dishes at Ishaara. Once assembled, guests split into colour-coded groups led by three spirited hosts who each brought their own flavour to the experience: Aishwarya Sonvane, Home Chef &amp; Content Creator, Kriti Dhiman, Chef, Entrepreneur &amp; Content Creator and Suril Udeshi, Restaurant Consultant. What followed was an exuberant trail, each route revealing different sides of Ahmedabad&rsquo;s ever-evolving dining landscape.</p><p><img src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-03-03-26-1-1.jpg" alt="Palladium" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>The first trail kicked off at FOO, where contemporary Asian tapas set an upbeat rhythm. From there, the trail moved to Punjab Grill, where the beloved&nbsp;<em>Palak Patta Chaat</em>&nbsp;brought crunch and nostalgia to the table. At Jamie Oliver Kitchen, the Mushroom Pizza&nbsp;drew nods of approval with its hearty comfort. The finale unfolded at Ishaara, where guests enjoyed the expressive service and rich flavours, anchored by the crowd favourite&nbsp;<em>Lahori Paneer Tikka</em>.</p><p><img src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-03-03-26-2-1.jpg" alt="Palladium" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>Kriti&rsquo;s crew began their journey at FOO, soaking in the warm, umami-rich bites before heading to Cream Centre, where the iconic Original&nbsp;<em>Channa</em><em>Bhatura</em>&nbsp;delivered a taste of pure culinary heritage. Next came Cha, introducing guests to the colourful &ldquo;Cha&rdquo; Vegetable Futomaki Roll, a playful nod to Japanese influences.</p><p><img src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-03-03-26-3-1.jpg" alt="Palladium" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>Suril led the third group through a route that balanced comfort with discovery. After their energetic start at FOO, the group headed to Burma Burma, where the signature Samosa Soup and Silkroute Sundae added depth and soul to the evening. At Caf&eacute; Allora, the Classic Tomato Bruschetta and Tiramisu sparked instant excitement.</p><p>As all groups completed their trails, they merged once again in the buzzing atrium of Palladium Ahmedabad. Conversations flowed naturally as guests compared favourites, revisited standout dishes, snapped final pictures, and continued exploring the space long after the structured routes ended.</p><p>What emerged was a sense of collective joy, a celebration of craft, connection, and shared discovery. In its Ahmedabad edition, the ELLE Gourmet Food Crawl did more than highlight great food; it showcased a community united by curiosity and flavour and we gave them the perfect night to celebrate flavour in style.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 05:</strong> Thriller movies are well known for their absolute storytelling, tension, suspense and a lot more. These movies not only offer absolute gunshots and fast car chases, but they also bring up silence. Shadows along with it. Kennedy on ZEE5 is the story of a man who is facing insomnia due to his past.</p><p>Anurag Kashyap has come up with absolute movies that feel dirty, real and impossible to run away from. If you are willing to watch a movie that is intense, moody and deeply connecting, Kennedy is a movie you must watch. After achieving a huge success in theatres, the movie has finally been released on ZEE5 and is doing really great here as well. Performance of Rahul Bhat, empty streets of Mumbai, and a lot more is there that appears to be quite realistic and touching.</p><p>Kennedy is one of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.zee5.com/movies/new-movies">best new movies on ZEE5</a>&nbsp;that brings the story of Uday Shetty (Rahul Bhat), who has changed his name to Kennedy after the brutal murder of his son. His young son died in a crossfire that is connected to police corruption. And guess what. Who is behind it? The powerful police commissioner. Along with his son, Uday was also presumed to be dead.</p><p>Uday survived the incident, disappeared and came back after some time as Kennedy, a ghost who kills people for money and was eagerly waiting for his real target. The best thing about the movie is that it moves between two timelines. Uday Shetty, a dedicated police officer, has been transformed into a contract killer, Kennedy now. He can&rsquo;t sleep. In fact, insomnia keeps him up and forces him to relive the night his son died.</p><p>The entry of a mysterious woman changed Charlie&rsquo;s life completely. She is the woman who listens to Kennedy and feels his pain without judging him. The silence and emotions in the movie speak loudly and make the audience feel the pain. The streets of Mumbai appear to be quite empty and haunting after lockdown, and that serves to be the perfect backdrop for a man who is alive but not living.</p><p>Rahul Bhat has made a very strong entry as Kennedy in the movie. His performance makes the audience feel the pain of the man who has lost his son. Kennedy is a tired, broken and dangerous man in the movie.</p><p>Charlie (Sunny Leone) is the woman who becomes the real and only connection of Rahul Bhat. Her presence brings up strength and warmth to the story. The scenes of both together bring emotions to the story.</p><p>Chandan&rsquo;s (Abhilash Thapliyal) performance in the movie is quite short and powerful. Mohit Takalkar and Megha Burman also spellbind the audience through their powerful performances.</p><p>Anurag Kashyap masters in creating thriller movies. He has landed a story this time that connects with the audience till the end. He masters the genre and knows how to make silence feel loud. Cinematographer Sylvester Fonseca has perfectly captured the absolute essence of Mumbai in different scenes where every frame appears to be quite heavy.</p><p>Editors Tanya Chhabria and Deepak Kattar have also tried to keep the pace of the story quite slow and deliberate. The music by Aamir Aziz and Ashish Narula is quite minimal and haunting, and gives the touch of Uday&rsquo;s insomnia perfectly. The lockdown situation in Mumbai has been captured perfectly. Empty streets, dim streetlights give the feel of realism and mirror the life of Kennedy perfectly.</p><p>Where most of the thriller movies rush towards the big reveal, Kennedy on ZEE5 takes its time and offers a story that is unique and refreshing. It is a neo-noir style story that reminds the audience of the old classics. The makers of the movie have tried to give the absolute essence of the Indian soul, where we can see corruption protecting the powerful persons, the grief of a father who turns into a killer.</p><p>The violence in the movie appears to be quite brutal, but it is never glorified. The makers of the movie have designed the different scenes in such a way that it makes the audience feel Kennedy&rsquo;s pain, grief and tragedy.</p><p>The story of the Kennedy movie on ZEE5 revolves around the internal fight of Uday. The story of the movie beautifully presents how he becomes a ghost in his own life and presumed to be dead. The thriller moments of the movie are quite sharp and appear to be realistic. Charlie is also a powerful character in the movie who has landed up as a person who understands Uday and listens to him and feels his pain.</p><p>Kennedy on ZEE5 is a perfect watch for everyone willing to enjoy an absolutely fresh take on thriller movies. It is a dark, slow and heavy movie that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats till the end. The performance of Rahul Bhat and the direction of Anurag Kashyap together spell magic on the audience. It is a perfect late-night watch to be enjoyed with your family and friends.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 03: </strong>Sankshay Babber has called upon all state governments to adopt <strong>Project Man&rsquo;s Best Friend (MBF)</strong>&mdash;a National Public Safety &amp; Governance Mission designed to permanently resolve India&rsquo;s dog&ndash;human conflict while unlocking a &#8377;15,000+ Crore regulated canine economy and creating lakhs of jobs.</p><p>MBF treats the issue not as a stray menace, but as a governance and economic opportunity. The model integrates identification, 80%+ vaccination coverage, sterilisation tracking, behaviour monitoring, and structured deployment of community dogs into a single accountable system.</p><p>Under MBF, existing animal pounds will be transformed into government-owned animal hospitals and trauma units&mdash;boosting sterilisation capacity, expanding veterinary employment, and generating sustainable state revenue. A centralized mobile app will allow municipalities and feeders to collaboratively track sterilisation, feeding zones, health checks, behavioural reports, geotagged databases, microchipping, and adoption drives.</p><p>The framework proposes freelancing sterilisation to accredited private medical centres, training society dogs into security assets, deploying therapy dogs in hospitals, implementing reflective collaring of dogs and cattle to reduce road accidents, and incentivising Indie dog adoption while introducing structured taxation on foreign breeds.</p><p>By shifting from removal-based policies to regulated coexistence, MBF aims to reduce bite incidents, eliminate rabies risk, restore civic order, and build a self-sustaining humane governance system.</p><p>&ldquo;Our country has been an animal loving nation with root examples in our Gods having half animal forms and worshipping animals, I plan on worshipping our roots and following the paths our ancestors did to make a better animal human relationship through MBF&rdquo;.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 03:</strong> Social media is no longer just a branding tool. For many businesses, it has become the primary channel for visibility, audience engagement, and customer acquisition. Whether it is a startup trying to build recognition or an established company protecting its digital presence, everyone is competing for attention online.</p><p>But gaining attention today is not easy.</p><p>Organic reach has declined across major platforms. Algorithms prioritize momentum. Millions of posts are uploaded every hour. In such a competitive environment, businesses are actively looking for structured solutions like an&nbsp;<a href="https://tntsmm.in/about-us">smm panel</a>&nbsp;to support their digital growth strategy.</p><p>The conversation is shifting from &ldquo;how to post more&rdquo; to &ldquo;how to perform better.&rdquo;</p><p><a></a><strong>The Algorithm-Driven Landscape</strong></p><p>Modern social media platforms rely heavily on algorithmic systems. These systems measure early engagement signals such as likes, shares, comments, watch time, and interaction speed.</p><p>If a post performs well within the first hour, it is pushed to a larger audience. If engagement is slow, visibility drops quickly.</p><p>This dynamic has created a performance gap. Even strong content can struggle if it fails to gain early traction. Marketing teams now understand that success depends not only on quality but also on timing and distribution.</p><p>That is where a professional&nbsp;smm panel&nbsp;becomes part of the strategy. It helps ensure posts receive structured engagement support during critical launch windows.</p><p><a></a><strong>Why the Demand for the Best SMM Panel Is Growing</strong></p><p>As competition increases, businesses are becoming selective. They no longer choose services randomly. Instead, they search for the&nbsp;best smm panel&nbsp;that offers reliability, safety, and operational transparency.</p><p>Several key factors influence this decision:</p><p><a></a><strong>Reliability and Consistency</strong></p><p>Campaigns are planned carefully. Delays in delivery can disrupt product launches or promotions. A dependable platform ensures that engagement support aligns with marketing timelines.</p><p><a></a><strong>Natural Growth Patterns</strong></p><p>Sudden spikes can harm credibility. Businesses prefer controlled and gradual growth that aligns with organic audience expansion.</p><p><a></a><strong>Multi-Platform Support</strong></p><p>Brands are active on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Telegram, and more. Managing engagement across all platforms from one dashboard increases efficiency.</p><p><a></a><strong>Reporting and Analytics</strong></p><p>Agencies especially require performance tracking. Clear data builds client trust.</p><p>The difference between an average provider and the&nbsp;best smm panel&nbsp;lies in these professional capabilities.</p><p><a></a><strong>Agencies Are Leading the Shift</strong></p><p>Digital marketing agencies face intense pressure to show measurable results. Clients expect numbers &mdash; follower growth, engagement rates, and increased visibility.</p><p>Posting content alone is no longer enough.</p><p>Agencies combine creative production, paid advertisements, influencer collaborations, and structured engagement systems. An organized&nbsp;smm panel&nbsp;allows them to stabilize performance during high-traffic campaigns.</p><p>Within the industry, platforms such as&nbsp;TNT SMM&nbsp;are often discussed among agencies as part of a broader digital support system that complements content marketing efforts.</p><p>The goal is not artificial growth. It is performance management.</p><p><a></a><strong>Small Businesses Are Entering the Space</strong></p><p>This trend is not limited to large agencies. Small businesses are also adopting these systems.</p><p>For a new brand, first impressions matter. A social profile with low engagement may appear inactive or untrusted. Customers often judge credibility within seconds.</p><p>An&nbsp;smm panel&nbsp;can help new businesses create initial momentum. When a profile looks active, real users are more likely to interact.</p><p>This psychological effect is powerful in digital commerce. Social proof influences purchasing behavior more than ever before.</p><p><a></a><strong>Strategic Integration, Not Random Orders</strong></p><p>The market has matured significantly. Brands are no longer placing random orders. Instead, they integrate engagement support into campaign planning.</p><p>For example:</p><p>&#9679;&nbsp;During a product launch, early engagement is scheduled.</p><p>&#9679;&nbsp;During promotional sales, visibility support aligns with advertising efforts.</p><p>&#9679;&nbsp;During collaborations, momentum is maintained across multiple posts.</p><p>This structured approach makes campaigns more predictable.</p><p>The&nbsp;best smm panel&nbsp;platforms allow users to control order flow, manage bulk activities, and scale gradually. Businesses see these tools as operational support systems rather than quick fixes.</p><p><a></a><strong>Content Still Matters</strong></p><p>Despite the rise of structured growth tools, one truth remains clear: content quality cannot be ignored.</p><p>Audiences recognize value. They engage with storytelling, authenticity, and useful information. Without strong content, engagement numbers cannot sustain long-term success.</p><p>However, even the best content needs exposure.</p><p>Many digital strategists compare social media to broadcasting. A powerful message must be amplified to reach the right audience. A professional&nbsp;smm panel&nbsp;supports this amplification process while brands focus on creativity.</p><p>When distribution and creativity work together, results improve significantly.</p><p><a></a><strong>Market Outlook for 2026 and Beyond</strong></p><p>Industry analysts predict continued expansion in social media marketing investment. Businesses are allocating larger portions of their budgets to digital growth.</p><p>As the market evolves, expectations are rising. Clients demand transparency, account safety, and measurable performance.</p><p>The definition of the&nbsp;best smm panel&nbsp;is also evolving. It is no longer about price competition alone. Stability, security, and scalability are becoming the deciding factors.</p><p>Professional platforms that adapt to these expectations are likely to dominate the market in the coming years.</p><p><a></a><strong>Choosing the Right Partner</strong></p><p>Before selecting a platform, businesses should evaluate several criteria:</p><p>&#9679;&nbsp;Does it offer controlled delivery speeds?</p><p>&#9679;&nbsp;Is multi-platform management available?</p><p>&#9679;&nbsp;Are reporting features accessible?</p><p>&#9679;&nbsp;Is customer support responsive?</p><p>&#9679;&nbsp;Does the growth pattern appear natural?</p><p>A thoughtful evaluation process reduces risks and increases long-term effectiveness.</p><p>Some digital professionals highlight platforms like TNT SMM as examples of how the industry is moving toward structured, scalable engagement systems designed to meet agency-level demands.</p><p><a></a><strong>Final Perspective</strong></p><p>Social media competition is not slowing down. Algorithms are becoming stricter. Content saturation continues to grow. Attention spans are shrinking.</p><p>Brands that adapt to these realities stand a stronger chance of success.</p><p>An organized&nbsp;smm panel&nbsp;is no longer viewed as optional. For many businesses, it is part of a modern digital toolkit that supports consistent growth and visibility management.</p><p>However, sustainable success always depends on balance &mdash; combining strong creative strategy with reliable engagement infrastructure.</p><p>Those who carefully select the&nbsp;<a href="https://tntsmm.in/best-smm-panel">best smm panel</a>&nbsp;and integrate it into a broader marketing framework are better prepared to compete in today&rsquo;s high-pressure digital environment.</p><p>In today&rsquo;s world, where visibility drives opportunity, organized systems are essential. Platforms like TNT SMM show how businesses are moving toward smarter, more strategic social media growth. tntsmm.in is the best SMM panel for reliable and scalable engagement.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.

<p>The professional background of &nbsp;Dr. Partha Banerjee was established in the challenging corporate settings, especially when he worked as an NRI professional in Dubai.&nbsp;His experience in high-performance, accountability-based systems provided him with a first-hand experience of the global work culture, leadership dynamics, and organizational psychology.&nbsp;These were the years that helped him to form his vision of ambition, ethics, human pressure, and decision-making in contemporary professional life.</p><p>Instead of considering corporate experience as independent of creativity, Dr. Banerjee internalized these realities.&nbsp;The workplace was a living classroom, a classroom that silently taught him about his worldview and would later become writing that was insight-driven and based on lived experience as opposed to theory.</p><p>A more profound internal change came with professional stability becoming a reality.&nbsp;Purpose, contribution, and long-term impact questions started to dominate traditional definitions of success.&nbsp;Dr.&nbsp;Banerjee understood that real success could not be quantified in terms of titles or geography, but in terms of clarity of thought and significant interaction with society.</p><p>Writing came naturally at this stage, not as a vocation but as a way of converting experience into wisdom and wisdom into advice.&nbsp;His writing is not trendy or superficial in its motivation, but rather encourages the reader to take his time, think, and be more conscious of life and leadership.</p><p>Although it is commonly linked to the intellectual ecosystem of Mumbai, Dr. Banerjee still remains an NRI professional with a very global presence.&nbsp;His travels have also been reflective like his visit to Iceland, which also broadened his view on sustainability, balance, and human resilience.</p><p>He is currently in Mauritius where he is planning to open a landmark project, the first multi-dimensional pharmaceutical manufacturing plant in the country.&nbsp;This is a grandiose project that is a combination of science, engineering, ethics and long-term development of the region.</p><p>This is the new stage of professional interaction that is being propelled by Gems Biogenics International Ltd, a multinational company, with the help of which Dr. Banerjee has ventured into strategic consultancy.&nbsp;The company specializes in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and engineering industries, and it has expertise that combines operational knowledge and leadership.</p><p>In addition to manufacturing, Gems Biogenics International Ltd is a platform of advisory services, which assists organizations to overcome complexity, compliance, scalability, and sustainable growth.&nbsp;The company launch video demonstrates a vision that is modern and technology-driven, created using high-tech tools and keeping a humanistic approach.</p><p>The literary work by Dr. Partha Banerjee &nbsp;remains unique in its depth and sincerity.&nbsp;His books are about leadership, identity, personal development, geopolitics, and human behavior, always based on real-world observation and not formula-based advice.</p><p>Harvest Harmony, Face Gain or Face Loss, The Perfect Journey, India: A New Yet Strong Voice in World Geopolitics, and Covid-19 are notable works.&nbsp;Both are an expression of a stratified perception of society, strength, and mission.</p><p>Simultaneously, his Bengali and English poetry, in books like Halud Basanto, Jemoni Thakina Keno, Prithibir Shashok, Khokoner Chitir Patai and Nostalgia, embodies memory, emotion, and the silent intricacies of human existence.</p><p>The work of Dr. Banerjee has appealed to a large audience, with some of the titles becoming bestsellers. His writing is frequently characterized by readers as serene, heartfelt, and highly relatable, not abstractionist and based on lived reality. In addition to writing, he is an active participant in discussions, forums, and advisory engagements, where his views on leadership, ethics, and self-awareness still have an impact on professionals in various fields.</p><p>The essence of the story of Dr. Partha Banerjee is not a change of profession, but integration.&nbsp;In his path, there is a perfect harmony between corporate discipline, creative expression, and strategic consultancy.&nbsp;In Dubai and Mauritius, in boardrooms and bookshelves, his life shows how experience, when turned into thoughtful expression and purposeful action, can educate industries, define conversations, and inspire reinvention.</p><p>His experience is a reminder that professional development does not mean giving up, but rather getting in line.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.

<p><strong>Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], March 05: </strong>Dr. Jaydev, a renowned smile design specialist in Hyderabad, is highly regarded for his expertise in microscopic endodontics and smile design. With over 15 years of experience in transforming smiles and restoring functionality, Dr. Jaydev is recognized for his patient-centric approach and innovative treatments that improve both the aesthetics and health of his patients&rsquo; teeth. Dr. Jaydev&rsquo;s clinic is a trusted destination for individuals seeking advanced dental care and comprehensive smile makeovers.</p><p>At&nbsp;<a href="https://drjaydevdental.com/">Dr. Jaydev Dental</a>&nbsp;Clinic in Hyderabad, patients like Mr. Rajesh Verma are provided with a comprehensive approach to smile design that focuses on both enhancing aesthetics and restoring functionality. Mr. Verma, a 62-year-old retired banker, sought treatment for issues resulting from years of untreated dental wear. He had been suffering from shortened teeth, chewing difficulties, increased sensitivity, and a visibly aged appearance. Mr. Verma was self-conscious about his smile, which had caused him to withdraw from social situations. Seeking a solution, he approached Dr. Jaydev with the hope of restoring both the function and aesthetics of his smile.</p><p>After a thorough clinical examination, Dr. Jaydev diagnosed Mr. Verma with severe generalized tooth attrition, a collapsed vertical dimension, and loss of posterior occlusal support. These issues, likely caused by bruxism and enamel erosion, had impaired his ability to chew and had negatively impacted his facial appearance. The comprehensive treatment plan focused on restoring both the function and youthful appearance of his smile.</p><p>Dr. Jaydev utilized Digital Smile Design (DSD) to simulate the proposed transformation, allowing Mr. Verma to visualize his new smile before proceeding with the treatment. This technology helped ensure that Mr. Verma&rsquo;s expectations were aligned with the end result, providing him with confidence throughout the process.</p><p>The treatment included monolithic zirconia crowns and bridges for posterior rehabilitation, offering strength and durability for functional support. For the anterior teeth, Emax veneers were used to restore tooth length, alignment, and shade, giving Mr. Verma a natural, youthful smile. Root canal therapy was also performed on a few pulpal-involved teeth using microscopic endodontics, which allowed for precision and minimized discomfort.</p><p>The full mouth rehabilitation process began with occlusal reprogramming to restore the vertical dimension of Mr. Verma&rsquo;s bite, followed by a full-mouth diagnostic wax-up and mock-ups to ensure proper function and aesthetics. Once the restorations were placed, occlusal adjustments were made to achieve a balanced bite, followed by final polishing and aesthetic refinements.</p><p>Post-treatment guidelines were provided, including proper oral hygiene practices, the use of a nightguard to prevent further tooth wear, and dietary advice to protect the restorations during the adaptation phase. Mr. Verma was also scheduled for follow-up visits to ensure the integrity of the restorations and monitor his oral health.</p><p>The outcome was remarkable&mdash;Mr. Verma&rsquo;s bite was stable, and his ability to chew improved dramatically. More importantly, he regained his confidence and could smile freely in public without feeling self-conscious. As Dr. Jaydev explains, &ldquo;Full mouth rehabilitation is not just about restoring teeth; it&rsquo;s about restoring lives. It&rsquo;s about giving patients the ability to smile, eat, and live with confidence again.&rdquo;</p><p>With proper care and maintenance, the restorations are expected to last for more than 15 years. Dr. Jaydev provides a 10-year assurance on all treatments, coupled with biannual reviews to ensure ongoing success. Mr. Verma shared his thoughts on the experience, saying, &ldquo;I was embarrassed by my worn teeth and aged look. Dr. Jaydev didn&rsquo;t just fix my teeth&mdash;he gave me back my confidence. I can speak, eat, and smile freely now. This has truly been a life-changing experience.&rdquo;</p><p>For those seeking a Dental Clinic in Hyderabad that offers comprehensive dental care, advanced technologies, and a personalized approach, Dr. Jaydev Dental Clinic is the trusted destination for all dental needs. With over 15 years of experience in smile designing, Dr. Jaydev continues to help patients restore their smiles and confidence, one treatment at a time.</p><p><strong>Contact Information<br>

<media:keywords></media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Shivrajpur Beach continues to draw attention as Gujarat&rsquo;s flagship Blue Flag destination, most recently through a visit by two prominent figures from the Femina Miss India platform: Shreya Poonja, 1st Runner-Up of Femina Miss India 2023, and Rekha Pandayy, 1st Runner-Up of Femina Miss India 2024. Their time at the shoreline highlighted not only its present-day appeal but also its emerging role as a thoughtfully planned coastal landmark with significant cultural and tourism potential.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Located in Devbhumi Dwarka district, roughly 12 kilometers from the sacred city of Dwarka, Shivrajpur received Blue Flag certification in 2020 from the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), becoming the first beach in Gujarat&mdash;and one of very few in India&mdash;to meet the program&rsquo;s 33 demanding criteria. These cover water quality testing, environmental management, public safety services, accessibility features, and ongoing ecological monitoring. The certification must be renewed annually, ensuring sustained performance.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The visiting titleholders experienced a beach that balances natural tranquility with regulated adventure. The calm, clear seabed supports safe swimming and snorkeling, while clearly marked zones allow jet skiing, scuba diving, and other water-based activities to proceed under supervision. Lifeguard stations, emergency response systems, and environmental signage contribute to an environment where thrill and responsibility coexist. The wide, clean expanse of golden sand and unobstructed views across the Arabian Sea have also made the location attractive to filmmakers and content creators seeking authentic, uncluttered coastal settings.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Rekha Pandayy captured the distinctive atmosphere during her visit, noting, &ldquo;The openness of Shivrajpur is what truly stands out. There&rsquo;s adventure, but also order and care. It&rsquo;s the kind of place where you&rsquo;d want to gather friends for a sunset concert or simply unwind by the water.&rdquo; Her comment points directly to the beach&rsquo;s planned evolution into a venue capable of hosting larger public events.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Development authorities have already outlined proposals for an amphitheatre and expansive open grounds designed specifically for cultural performances, live music, and community gatherings. These additions would position Shivrajpur as more than a leisure spot&mdash;it would become a dynamic stage where the natural beauty of the sea serves as a dramatic backdrop for artistic and social events.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Shreya Poonja emphasized the deliberate planning behind the site, observing, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s inspiring to witness a beach space that is clean, expansive, and clearly built with long-term vision.&rdquo; Her perspective reflects growing recognition that sustainable coastal tourism in India can succeed when guided by foresight rather than rapid, unregulated growth.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The beach&rsquo;s strategic placement within a broader tourism circuit further amplifies its value. Beyt Dwarka, an island revered for its ancient Krishna temple, lies just offshore and is now more accessible thanks to Sudarshan Setu&mdash;India&rsquo;s longest cable-stayed bridge, inaugurated in early 2024. This infrastructure improvement has shortened travel times and enhanced comfort for pilgrims and tourists alike. Nearby Madhavpur, with its deep cultural and mythological roots, adds another layer of heritage, allowing visitors to combine spiritual exploration with seaside relaxation in a single, cohesive itinerary.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Through Shivrajpur, Gujarat Tourism is advancing a model of experiential travel that prioritizes environmental stewardship, visitor safety, and long-term regional development. The destination&rsquo;s ability to attract both leisure travelers and high-profile visitors underscores its rising stature along the Arabian Sea coast.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As twilight settles over the water, painting the horizon in soft hues, Shivrajpur quietly embodies a forward-looking narrative for Indian beaches&mdash;one rooted in sustainability, enriched by thoughtful infrastructure, and poised to grow into a vibrant cultural and recreational hub for years to come.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Mumbai, India:</strong> Following the recent announcement of Chef Vikas Khanna as Global Brand Ambassador, the India office of The Cranberry Institute hosted an exclusive media and trade meet in Mumbai to celebrate the partnership. The gathering brought together leading members of the culinary fraternity, importers, retailers, nutrition experts, and media for an afternoon celebrating the versatility, flavour, and health attributes of US Cranberries.</p>
<p>A key highlight of the programme was a special culinary demonstration by Chef Vikas Khanna, who showcased innovative ways to incorporate cranberries into both international and Indian formats. Through the presentation, Chef Khanna underlined how the fruit can seamlessly move from festive tables to everyday meals while delivering taste, colour, and nutritional value.</p>
<p>Addressing guests, Chef Vikas Khanna said, &ldquo;Food, for me, is about balance, nourishing the body while celebrating culture and joy. Cranberries carry that duality beautifully, they are rich in health benefits yet equally vibrant in taste and colour. I am honoured to partner with The Cranberry Institute to share their story across borders and inspire people to bring them to their tables in new and meaningful ways.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;Speaking on the significance of the new findings, Dr. Jignesh Gandhi, Professor of Surgery, Robotic &amp; Gastrointestinal Surgeon, Gleneagles &amp; Fortis Hospitals, Mumbai said, &ldquo;H. pylori bacterial infection is a major health concern in India, affecting nearly 60% of our population and contributing to conditions ranging from chronic acidity to stomach cancer. This latest research highlights that consuming cranberry juice twice daily for eight weeks can reduce H. pylori infection rates by 20%. Such results indicate a promising, natural, and complementary strategy to manage this persistent infection alongside conventional medical treatments.&rdquo;</p>
<p>He further added, &ldquo;If this approach is adopted widely in India, it could significantly improve patient compliance, reduce antibiotic resistance, and positively impact our overall health economy.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Mr. Sumit Saran, India Representative for The Cranberry Institute added, &ldquo;We are very delighted and honoured to be associated with renowned culinary maestro, Chef Vikas Khanna. His extraordinary talent and passion for food have not only elevated Indian cuisine on the global stage but have also inspired countless food enthusiasts. His ability to connect health, heritage, and gastronomy makes him the ideal ambassador for the fruit.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;US Cranberries are now easily available with dry fruit stores and leading e-commerce platforms&rdquo;, added Mr Saran.</p>
<p>&nbsp;Guests also experienced curated tastings and interaction opportunities, reinforcing the ingredient&rsquo;s adaptability across sweet and savoury dishes.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Run of Kutch came alive with glamour and excitement as it was graced by the visit of Femina Miss India&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Across White Horizons with Femina Miss India</h2>
<p>The shimmering salt flats of the Rann of Kutch witnessed a glamorous celebration of beauty, culture, and conscious travel as Femina Miss India 2023 1st Runner Up Shreya Poonja and Femina Miss India 2024 1st Runner Up Rekha Panday embarked on an unforgettable journey through one of India&rsquo;s most spectacular landscapes.<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Set against the breathtaking canvas of the internationally celebrated Rann Utsav, the duo immersed themselves in Gujarat&rsquo;s radiant desert marvel &mdash; where endless white horizons meet vibrant cultural expression. Their visit highlighted not just the visual grandeur of Kutch, but also Gujarat&rsquo;s evolving identity as a leader in experiential and responsible tourism.</p>
<h2>A Road Less Travelled, A Story Untold</h2>
<p>The visit began far from the festival lights &mdash; on the open desert roads of Kutch. Traversing lesser-known routes, Shreya and Rekha embraced the raw, untouched beauty of the terrain. Vast horizons, dramatic skies, and uninterrupted stretches of road created a cinematic backdrop for a journey defined by stillness and scale.</p>
<p>Recalling the experience, Shreya Poonja said,&nbsp;<br />&ldquo;I biked through some of the lesser-known desert routes in Kutch, and it honestly felt like the road through heaven. There&rsquo;s so much openness and calm around you that it allows you to slow down and really take in the landscape. Anyone travelling this route would feel that same sense of freedom and stillness.&rdquo;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Their adventure reinforced Gujarat&rsquo;s growing appeal as a new-age biking destination &mdash; ideal for travellers seeking slow, immersive journeys over conventional itineraries.</p>
<h2>Echoes of an Ancient Civilisation</h2>
<p>Adding profound historical depth to the journey was a visit to Dholavira, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most remarkable settlements of the Indus Valley Civilisation. Renowned for its advanced water harvesting reservoirs and drainage systems, Dholavira stands as an early testament to sustainable urban planning &mdash; offering travellers a rare window into India&rsquo;s ancient ecological wisdom and innovation.</p>
<h3>Where Desert Meets Celebration</h3>
<p>At the heart of the spectacle lies Dhordo &mdash; a village that earned global recognition as a UNWTO Best Tourism Village 2023 &mdash; setting a global benchmark for sustainable tourism growth aligned with heritage conservation.<br />Here, the stark white desert transforms into a vibrant cultural carnival. Rann Utsav unfolds as an immersive showcase of Kutchi music, dance, handicrafts, and cuisine &mdash; a dazzling blend of colour against the moonlit salt plains. Yet beyond the glamour, what distinguishes the festival is its thoughtful, conscious design philosophy.<br />The Tent City operates as a no-plastic zone, supported by structured waste management systems and environmentally responsible practices &mdash; positioning the festival not merely as a cultural celebration, but as a pioneering model of sustainable large-scale tourism.<br />Reflecting on this harmony, Rekha Pandayy shared,<br />&ldquo;I experienced the festival knowing that every aspect of it has been planned consciously. From the no-plastic zones to the way waste is managed, it makes you feel that celebration and responsibility can go hand in hand &mdash; something visitors genuinely appreciate today.&rdquo;</p>
<h2>Living Traditions, Timeless Craft</h2>
<p>Beyond the festival grounds, the cultural heartbeat of Kutch thrives in its artisan villages such as Gandhi Nu Gam. Here, centuries-old traditions continue to flourish &mdash; from Ajrakh block printing and intricate Kutchi embroidery to the globally celebrated Rogan art. Each craft tells a story of resilience, identity, and artistic legacy passed down through generations.</p>
<h2>Moonlit Magic &amp; A Sustainable Tomorrow</h2>
<p>As twilight descends, the Rann transforms into a dreamscape &mdash; shimmering salt plains under silver moonlight, folk melodies drifting through crisp desert air, and an atmosphere where tradition meets modern travel sensibility.<br />The ability of the Rann of Kutch to host a globally admired festival while preserving ecological sensitivity underscores Gujarat&rsquo;s leadership in responsible tourism.<br />Through this glamorous yet grounded journey, the White Desert emerges not just as an iconic destination &mdash; but as a shining blueprint for how tourism can celebrate culture, empower communities, and protect the environment.<br />In the heart of the White Rann, beauty found its perfect mirror &mdash; vast, luminous, and timeless</p>

<hr data-start="501" data-end="504" />
<h3 data-start="506" data-end="560">When Imperfect Hearts Learn the Language of Love</h3>
<h3 data-start="562" data-end="618">A Contemporary Romance Rooted in Emotional Honesty</h3>
<hr data-start="620" data-end="623" />
<h2 data-start="625" data-end="635">Story</h2>
<p data-start="637" data-end="887"><em data-start="637" data-end="660">Do Deewane Seher Mein</em> explores love not as a dramatic whirlwind, but as a gradual emotional evolution. It presents relationships as layered emotional spaces where trust and safety are built slowly, through shared moments rather than grand gestures.</p>
<p data-start="889" data-end="1161">Roshni and Shashank feel deeply relatable &mdash; imperfect, hesitant, emotionally aware, and quietly sincere. Their bond grows through ordinary interactions: unfinished conversations, emotional pauses, awkward smiles, and silences that carry more meaning than words ever could.</p>
<p data-start="1163" data-end="1478">The city becomes more than just a backdrop &mdash; it breathes alongside the characters. From bustling offices and traffic signals to crowded caf&eacute;s and silent midnight streets, urban life mirrors the emotional rhythm of their journey. The chaos outside contrasts beautifully with the calm intimacy developing within them.</p>
<p data-start="1480" data-end="1678">The narrative resonates strongly with modern relationship dynamics &mdash; fear of vulnerability, timing conflicts, emotional independence, and the silent longing for companionship in a fast-moving world.</p>
<hr data-start="1680" data-end="1683" />
<h2 data-start="1685" data-end="1699">Direction</h2>
<p data-start="1701" data-end="1906">Ravi Udyawar approaches the story with emotional restraint and observational sensitivity. The film consciously avoids melodrama, trusting human behaviour and subtle emotional shifts to carry the narrative.</p>
<p data-start="1908" data-end="2124">Scenes unfold organically, almost like real life captured through a quiet lens. The pacing mirrors authentic relationships &mdash; gradual emotional openings, moments of clarity, and realizations that arrive without noise.</p>
<p data-start="2126" data-end="2259">The storytelling feels intimate rather than theatrical, allowing the audience to sit with emotions instead of being told how to feel.</p>
<hr data-start="2261" data-end="2264" />
<h2 data-start="2266" data-end="2282">Performance</h2>
<p data-start="2284" data-end="2500">Siddhant Chaturvedi delivers one of his most controlled and emotionally nuanced performances. Through micro-expressions and understated body language, he beautifully conveys vulnerability without overt dramatization.</p>
<p data-start="2502" data-end="2660">Mrunal Thakur brings emotional sincerity and depth to Roshni. Her portrayal feels natural and grounded, making the character deeply accessible and believable.</p>
<p data-start="2662" data-end="2822">Their chemistry feels effortless &mdash; contemporary in tone yet emotionally timeless. It doesn&rsquo;t rely on exaggerated romance but thrives on emotional understanding.</p>
<p data-start="2824" data-end="2979">The supporting cast adds texture and realism to the narrative, while the music gently enhances emotional transitions without overpowering the storytelling.</p>
<hr data-start="2981" data-end="2984" />
<h2 data-start="2986" data-end="3004">Final Verdict</h2>
<p data-start="3006" data-end="3172"><em data-start="3006" data-end="3029">Do Deewane Seher Mein</em> leaves you with emotional warmth rather than dramatic intensity. It celebrates companionship over spectacle and understanding over confession.</p>
<p data-start="3174" data-end="3291">This is a romance about emotional safety &mdash; about finding someone who understands your silences as much as your words.</p>
<p data-start="3293" data-end="3364" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">A deeply relatable love story that lingers long after the credits roll.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p></p><p>The pulsating lanes of Mumbai have long been a canvas for stories
of ambition, power, and survival. <i>Adityam</i> dives deep into this electric
cityscape, presenting a gripping narrative of two brothers shaped by opposing
worlds&mdash;one ruled by fear, the other guided by dreams.<p></p></p><p>Directed by Ravi Kant Singh, <i>Adityam</i> is an emotional crime
drama that explores the fragile threads of family, loyalty, and destiny.<p></p></p><p><b>From Iconic Ad Campaigns to Cinematic Brilliance<p></p></b></p><p>The project is helmed by a seasoned director whose impressive body
of work includes television ad films for leading global brands such as Cadbury,
Coca-Cola, and Adidas, among many others. Known for crafting visually
compelling and emotionally resonant campaigns, the director brings a wealth of
advertising expertise to the table. Complementing this vision, Suraj and
Kshitij have infused the project with melodious and evocative music, adding
depth and soul to the overall creative experience.<p></p></p><p><b>A Story of Two Paths<p></p></b></p><p>At the heart of <i>Adityam</i> are two brothers whose lives take
drastically different directions. The elder brother, portrayed by Imran Khan,
is a feared gangster who lives by one belief: power is survival. In the
ruthless underbelly of the city, he commands respect and instills fear.<p></p></p><p>In stark contrast stands the younger brother, played by Ravi Kant
Singh, a struggling musician chasing dreams through melody and meaning. For
him, music is freedom&mdash;a way out of darkness and into hope.<p></p></p><p>When the elder brother demands that the younger abandon his
musical aspirations to join the criminal empire, refusal comes at a heavy cost.
Cast out from home, the younger brother must carve his own path in a city that
rarely forgives weakness.<p></p></p><p><b>Love, Loss, and a Turning Point<p></p></b></p><p>Alone but determined, the younger brother begins performing at
small shows, slowly finding his rhythm. Along the way, he meets a woman who
becomes both his anchor and his love, portrayed by Siara Arora. Through her
unwavering support, he begins to rebuild his life and rediscover hope.<p></p></p><p>But just as his world begins to stabilize, tragedy strikes&mdash;the
elder brother is gone.<p></p></p><p>Grief quickly transforms into rage. Drawn back into the shadows of
the underworld, the younger brother steps into the very empire he once
rejected. What follows is a gripping descent into violence, vengeance, and
moral conflict.<p></p></p><p><b>A Climax That Redefines Fate<p></p></b></p><p>As bullets replace ballads and power overshadows passion, a
shocking truth emerges in the film&rsquo;s climax. The revelation forces the younger
brother to confront a haunting question: Will he become the very man he once
despised, or will he break the cycle and redefine his destiny?<p></p></p><p><i>Adityam</i> promises intense performances
from its ensemble cast, including Arif, Subigya, and Ritu, adding depth and
dimension to this layered narrative.<p></p></p><p><br></p><p><b>Mark Your Calendars<p></p></b></p><p>The teaser for <i>Adityam</i> is set to release on 14th March,
building anticipation for what promises to be a powerful cinematic journey of
love, loss, revenge, and redemption.<p></p></p><p>



































</p><p>Blending the raw energy of the underworld with the soul of music, <i>Adityam</i>
is poised to strike an emotional chord with audiences&mdash;reminding us that
sometimes, the hardest battles are not fought on the streets, but within.<p></p></p><p><p>&nbsp;</p></p><p></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bollywood loves a good outsider story&mdash;and Aman Nagpal&rsquo;s journey has all the makings of a feel-good blockbuster. The man who turned Nagpal Chole Bhature into one of India&rsquo;s most loved food brands is now chasing a brand-new dream, stepping into showbiz with his own music label Sky Entertainment Music and debut single &ldquo;Ranjha.&rdquo;</p>
<p>For years, Nagpal Chole Bhature has ruled streets and hearts, serving comfort, flavour and nostalgia across 150+ outlets nationwide. Now, Aman Nagpal is ready to serve emotions&mdash;this time through music. And true to Bollywood style, this new chapter is driven by passion, belief, and a whole lot of heart.</p>
<p>Unlike many business-backed Bollywood launches, Aman&rsquo;s move into entertainment is deeply emotional. Sky Entertainment Music isn&rsquo;t just a company&mdash;it&rsquo;s a dream. Named after his beloved Husky dog Sky, whom he calls his lucky charm, the label reflects Aman&rsquo;s personal journey and his belief in destiny, loyalty, and soulful connections.</p>
<p>Based in Mumbai, Aman lives with his six Huskies, proudly calling them his six children&mdash;a detail that perfectly matches his emotional, grounded personality. It&rsquo;s no surprise then that his first production, Ranjha, is all about feeling, romance, and raw emotion.</p>
<p>With Ranjha, Aman Nagpal makes his official debut as a producer, choosing talent over trends and emotion over noise. Insiders say his focus is on backing honest voices and meaningful music rather than chasing instant viral fame.</p>
<p>Just like Nagpal Chole Bhature became a trusted name through consistency and quality, Aman plans to build Sky Entertainment Music as a home for real stories, real music, and real dreams. From the streets to the studios, his journey is proof that when passion meets belief, even the boldest dreams can come true.</p>
<p>As Aman Nagpal enters Bollywood&rsquo;s buzzing lanes, one thing is clear&mdash;this is just the opening scene.</p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 12</strong>: One of Bollywood&rsquo;s most beautiful actresses, Divya Bharti may have acted in a few films, but there has rarely been a heroine like her, who starred in 12 films at the beginning of her career, all of which were huge hits. She departed the world at a very young age, passing away at just 19. Songs like &ldquo;Aisi Deewangi&rdquo; and &ldquo;Saat Samandar&rdquo; are still remembered by people. However, the cause of the actress&rsquo;s death remains unclear. To this day, Divya&rsquo;s death remains a mystery.</p><p>These two pictures are again appearing on social media. Who is this Navya Shree</p><p>Navyashree was born on February 25, 2003, in Kolkata and raised in the tranquil hills of Darjeeling. Her real name is Manju Thapa. &nbsp;From a very young age, she demonstrated tremendous creativity and intellectual ability. Remarkably, by the age of 15, she had already won numerous awards for her talents, demonstrating a maturity beyond her years.</p><p>Life hasn&rsquo;t always been easy for Navya. She lost her father at the young age of 9 and was raised by her mother, who became her strongest support system. Despite her hardships, Navya never let circumstances deter her dreams.</p><p>Navya Shree is known for her successes as well as her courage. She gained recognition after winning prestigious titles like Planet Miss India 2018, Miss Teen Republic of India 2018, and Miss Northeast 2018.</p><p><img src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-12T113409.778.jpg" alt="OMG!

This recognition opened doors for her in various film industries, including Bollywood, Telugu, Odia, and Bhojpuri cinema, as well as other regional platforms. Many people sometimes call her Sridevi and sometimes Divya Bharti. Will she ever see that bubbly girl again?</p><p>When she met a director, he said, he suggested that Navyashree undergo eye surgery. &ldquo;It will make her look even better and more beautiful.&rdquo; She underwent the surgery, and her eyes were damaged. Her face looked swollen. During this time, she stopped working for a few years. After some treatment, she now looks very beautiful and well. She explained that she had a very bad time in her life, but now everything is fine. She is fine now and has even worked in several music videos. She always motivated herself to work hard and never give up.</p><p>Navyashree not only looks like Divya Bharti, but their birthdays also fall on the same date. Reportedly, Divya Bharti was born on February 25, 1974, and Navyashree was born on February 25, 2003.</p><p>A photo of Navyashree is resurfacing on social media.</p><p>People are liking her photos. Navyashree is getting opportunities in the film industry. Will that bubbly girl be seen again?

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 11: </strong>Safer Internet Day 2026 &mdash; On the occasion of Safer Internet Day, Girl Effect India announced the launch of Tipi Tipi Talk, an interactive school-based programme that helps young people talk about issues that concern them, build confidence, and spark open conversations on various topics, including navigating the online world safely and respectfully. The first &ldquo;Talk&rdquo; is called the &ldquo;TechHinsa Talk&rdquo; that is part of Girl Effect India&rsquo;s broader India vs Tech Hinsa campaign, which takes head-on the growing challenge of technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV).</p><p>Delivered through structured workshops at school, the programme also creates safe spaces for peer learning. It establishes Digital Safety Clubs and trains students as Digital Safety Ambassadors to lead conversations and promote safer online practices within their schools. In its current rollout, the initiative will be implemented in Delhi across 45 schools, reaching 45,000 students, establishing 45 Digital Safety Clubs, and training 225 Digital Safety Ambassadors.</p><p>Speaking about the initiative, Kavita Ayyagari, Country Director, Girl Effect India, said, &ldquo;Today&rsquo;s generation is growing up online, and the internet can become a dark place if young people are not taught how to safeguard themselves. With growing instances of online harm against girls, we need to teach them how to be safe. For boys, we need them to be empathetic friends and be responsible. For girls especially, internet safety matters more because it is tied to freedom &mdash; freedom to learn, to speak, to create, and to belong. As digital use continues to grow, understanding and acting on online risks isn&rsquo;t optional &mdash; it&rsquo;s essential. Tipi Tipi Talk is an initiative to help boys and girls talk about TechHinsa and learn to navigate digital spaces safely and responsibly.&rdquo;</p><p>Digital platforms are now an integral part of young people&rsquo;s lives &mdash; but so are the risks. Globally, one-third of all internet users are children, and in India alone, an estimated 15% of active internet users are between the ages of 5 and 11. As children and adolescents come online earlier and in greater numbers, exposure to technology-facilitated harm has risen sharply. Data from the National Crime Records Bureau show that reported cybercrimes against women increased from 8,379 cases in 2019 to 14,409 in 2022, marking a 71% rise over four years. The increase has been even more pronounced for children: cybercrime cases reported against minors rose from 305 in 2019 to 1,823 in 2022, representing a 497% increase in the same period. These harms are not just statistics; they shape young lives. &ldquo;The more I scroll, the more I see judgment, rumours, and pressure &mdash; and it gets hard to separate real connection from hurt,&rdquo; says Tanya (name changed), a 17-year-old student and social media user. &ldquo;Girls are expected to be careful, but we&rsquo;re not taught how to protect ourselves online.&rdquo;</p><p>Tipi Tipi Talk is an interactive school-based programme for students in Classes 8&ndash;12 that brings digital safety conversations into classrooms in engaging and relatable ways and teaches young girls and boys how to be safe online. Through animated films, real-life scenarios, and guided discussions, it simplifies complex topics such as online safety, technology-facilitated harm, consent, privacy, and respectful behaviour into practical, age-appropriate lessons students can apply to their everyday digital lives. Tailored separately for Classes 8&ndash;10 and 11&ndash;12, the curriculum also includes easy discussion guides for parents and teachers and will be rolled out with local partners in Delhi and Mumbai and expanded to other cities in India, engaging students alongside their teachers and their parents.</p><p>Tipi Tipi Talk expands Girl Effect India&rsquo;s ongoing work to address technology-facilitated gender-based violence, building on the India Vs TechHinsa campaign and bringing prevention and digital safety directly into schools.</p><p><strong>About Girl Effect India</strong><br>

<p>Set within a shadowy, labyrinthine cityscape, the music video follows a lone hunter navigating hostile terrain, both physical and psychological, in a journey defined less by vengeance and more by reclamation. At its core, it&rsquo;s about a woman, portrayed by PIA, reclaiming her power from someone who once held it over her. The man at the top of the castle represents a figure she gave her power to, someone who trapped her in a cycle she couldn&rsquo;t escape.</p><p>For Indian-origin international EDM artist PIA, known for building cinematic narrative worlds around her music, the gothic aesthetic functions as an emotional language that allows vulnerability, power, discomfort, and beauty to coexist without resolution being rushed. &ldquo;<em>Zukacoa</em>&nbsp;is about the reclamation of power and the self,&rdquo; she avers. &ldquo;Strength doesn&rsquo;t come from avoiding darker inner worlds, but from facing them without flinching and choosing direction over distraction.&rdquo; That philosophy extends beyond the emotional into the physical. By performing all of her own stunts, including sword and gun choreography, PIA sought to remove any symbolic distance between performer and character. In a similar spirit of immersion, the illustration that opens the music film was also created by PIA herself the night before the shoot. &ldquo;It wasn&rsquo;t about proving toughness,&rdquo; she adds. &ldquo;It was about integrity. If I wanted the audience to believe in this transformation, I had to embody it&hellip; every fall, every movement.&rdquo;</p><p>Speaking about drawing from the emotionally rich gothic worlds of Tim Burton and Guillermo del Toro, director Joe Sill whose work spans global brands including Apple, NASA, Disney, Nike, and Warner Bros. Games, shares, &ldquo;For us,&nbsp;<em>Zukacoa</em>&nbsp;isn&rsquo;t about borrowing from a lineage or paying homage. It&rsquo;s about speaking fluently in a language we&rsquo;ve carried with us for a long time. What resonated most with us is their ability to hold beauty and terror in the same frame, and to let colour, light, and texture communicate feelings that words often cannot.</p><p>Designed to feel like an exciting cinematic video game cut-scene,&nbsp;<em>Zukacoa</em>&nbsp;unfolds as a psychological ascent rather than a descent, where monsters function less as spectacle and more as manifestations of inner resistance and fear. Influenced by games such as&nbsp;<em>Bloodborne</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Hellblade: Senua&rsquo;s Sacrifice</em>, the film treats action as a progression through inner conflict rather than a series of victories.</p><p>Ultimately,&nbsp;<em>Zukacoa</em>&nbsp;is less concerned with explaining its heroine&rsquo;s past than with capturing her refusal to be defined by it. Framed as an act of reclamation, especially for women, but resonant for anyone who has felt diminished or made to doubt their own agency, the music video film meets its protagonist in motion: determined, wounded, but never passive. Power here is not portrayed as something taken from another, but as something reclaimed through presence, resolve, and self-trust. By the time her journey reaches its end, the transformation feels earned not through victory alone, but through the quiet, uncompromising act of standing her ground and moving forward anyway.</p><p><em>Zukacoa&nbsp;</em>is now streaming on all major platforms, with the music video live on YouTube.</p><p><strong>Song Link:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/IN3JKfBkDw4">https://youtu.be/IN3JKfBkDw4</a></p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com. We will respond and rectify the situation within 24 hours.</em></p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 10: </strong>Hair transplant has become an effective and reliable method of hair restoration for individuals experiencing hair loss and baldness. When planning a hair transplant surgery, many questions come to mind. How will the procedure be? Will there be any risk? Will the result look natural? Will hair fall continue even after the procedure, etc.? It can be an overwhelming situation. So, it is important to choose the right clinic and surgeon for your procedure. But with so many&nbsp;<a href="https://drharorswellness.com/best-hair-transplant-clinic-in-delhi-india/"><strong>hair transplant clinics in Delhi, India</strong></a>, selecting the right one can be confusing and difficult. So, here are a few things to consider when finalizing a hair transplant clinic.</p><p><strong>Experience and Expertise of the Doctor<br>
</strong>Hair transplant is not like other surgical procedures; it is an aesthetic procedure. So, when searching for a clinic, look for the doctor&rsquo;s experience and expertise. A qualified and experienced surgeon with a specialty in hair restoration procedures will take full care while designing your hairline that looks natural, suits your age, and matches your facial features.</p><p><strong>Consultation and Treatment Plans<br>
</strong>Consultation is a crucial step in any diagnosis. Without proper consultation, it becomes difficult to find out the exact cause of the problem one is facing. Hair fall occurs due to many reasons, and without finding the real cause, it is not right to start any treatment. So, the clinic or surgeon you choose should provide a detailed and honest consultation on the root cause of your hair loss. A hair transplant procedure is not necessary for every type of hair loss. Your doctor should be transparent about your hair loss type and suggest to you what suits best for your condition. Besides &nbsp;consultation, treatment plans also matter. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for hair transplant. The hair specialist doctor should devise a treatment plan based on your scalp condition and what you want achieve through the procedure.</p><p><strong>Techniques Used<br>
</strong>Hair transplants have come a long way. FUE(Follicular Unit Extraction), URHT(Ultra Receptive Hair Transplant), and DHT(Direct Hair Transplant) are the latest hair transplant techniques. These are less invasive and deliver natural and dense hair with fast recovery. So, ask the clinic whether they are offering these methods or not. The best&nbsp;<strong>hair transplant clinic in Delhi, India</strong>, will always recommend the latest techniques.</p><p><strong>Success Rate and Past Results<br>
</strong>Before making a final decision, check the success rate of the procedure. A hair transplant clinic with more than 90% success rate is good to go. Also, go through before and after images of genuine patients to see real&nbsp;<a href="https://drharorswellness.com/hair-transplant-results/"><strong>hair transplant results</strong></a>. If possible, try to get in touch with past patients to know their experience. A genuine and honest clinic will never hesitate to share these details.</p><p><strong>Hygiene and Safety Standard<br>
</strong>A reliable clinic and a responsible surgeon understand the importance of hygiene and safety; hence, they follow proper hygiene and safety standards. Sterilized surgical tools, clean &amp; tidy operation rooms, and strict medical protocols go a long way in patient&rsquo;s safety and smooth recovery. So, don&rsquo;t ignore these points while searching for a hair transplant clinic.</p><p><strong>Cost<br>
</strong>A hair transplant is a significant investment. Trust a clinic that is transparent about hair transplant costs. There should not be any hidden cost. It would be great to get an estimated quote before the procedure itself. One more thing &ndash; don&rsquo;t fall into the trap of &lsquo;unlimited grafts&rsquo; or &lsquo;very low price&rsquo; as these are marketing gimmicks that often result in poor quality hair transplant.</p><p><strong>Clinic&rsquo;s Reputation<br>
</strong>A reputed and trustworthy clinic is important for natural and permanent&nbsp;<strong>hair transplant results</strong>. So, check for how long the clinic is operational, its reviews, certifications, awards &amp; accolades, etc.</p><p><strong>Aftercare Procedure and Support<br>
</strong>The job of a hair transplant clinic doesn&rsquo;t just end with performing the procedure. The clinic you choose should also provide you with 24/7 support even after the procedure. They should regularly followup with you and ask about your recovery, whether you are experiencing any difficulty. Continuous and regular support help you recover fast and make your hair transplant journey smooth.</p><p><strong>Dr. Haror&rsquo;s Wellness &ndash; Celebrities&rsquo; Favourite Hair Transplant Clinic in Delhi, India<br>

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 11:</strong> Every time an artist shines on screen or signs a brand deal that looks effortless, we celebrate the face we see. What we often miss are the people working quietly behind the scenes. Careers that feel well planned and steady are usually guided by those who understand timing, storytelling, and patience.&nbsp;<strong>Sangeeta Sikdar Bhatia</strong>&nbsp;is one such force, focused on building artists, not just moments.</p><p>With years of hands-on experience across fashion shoots, film sets, and creative spaces, Sangeeta developed a sharp eye for talent beyond surface appeal. Her understanding of the industry comes from being on the ground and seeing how talent is found, ignored, shaped, and sometimes mishandled. This gave her early clarity that representation should never be deal-driven and that real careers cannot be built on short-term visibility.</p><p>At the heart of her work is respect for the creative process. Sangeeta is known for standing up for an artist&rsquo;s voice and ensuring every opportunity fits their personal journey, growth, and values. Her role goes beyond management. It includes mentoring, guiding decisions, negotiating fair terms, and sometimes advising artists to walk away when something does not feel right.</p><p>This approach is reflected in her work with&nbsp;<strong>TOABH</strong>, an agency that works across fashion, film, and global talent representation. Instead of putting artists into fixed boxes, Sangeeta supports movement across platforms and markets. The goal is simple: careers that grow with intention.</p><p>For her, commercial success matters only when it supports long-term growth. Brand deals, international projects, and big campaigns are judged not just by reach, but by how they add to an artist&rsquo;s story. This steady and thoughtful approach has helped her build deep trust with talent and partners over time.</p><p>Beyond talent representation, Sangeeta is also a strong business leader and a voice in the creative industry. She is actively involved in empowering artists and entrepreneurs through platforms like&nbsp;Miss Entrepreneur&nbsp;,&nbsp;which focus on access, visibility, and real opportunity, especially for women or talents building independent careers.</p><p>Listening is central to her leadership style. With a natural understanding of people, she brings calm and clarity to both creative discussions and business decisions. This ability helps her guide artists through key moments in their careers with confidence and care.</p><p>As she works on new initiatives in India that connect talent, culture, and global platforms, her larger vision becomes clear. She is focused on building systems that support artists not just at their peak, but throughout their journey.</p><p>In an industry full of noise and speed, Sangeeta Sikdar Bhatia represents a quieter strength. While audiences remember performances of artists and campaigns, it is people like her who shape and build lasting careers.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.

<p><em><strong>Musical Salute to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj by Shri Raghvendra, Divya Kumar, and Lalitya Munshaw, Music on Red Ribbon</strong></em></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 10: </strong>&ldquo;Us Gatha Ko Na Bhulen Hum, Jis Gatha Ne Itihas Racha.&rdquo; Speaking to us, Renowned lyricist and producer Shri Raghvendra shared that this line was the very first thought that arose in his heart before he began writing the song. He described it as an inner calling- a reminder that history is not merely something to be remembered, but something to be felt, respected, and carried forward. Interestingly, the lines that now appear at the end of the song were the first to be written. That emotion came before the structure, before the tune, before anything else, He said. Shri Raghvendra, a medical professional with over two decades of experience in writing songs, has been actively involved in songwriting alongside his medical career.</p><p>The song features vocals by Bollywood singers Divya Kumar and Lalitya Munshaw, with music composed by AVN Pavan Kumar. Speaking about the recording, Divya Kumar said the song effectively captures the spirit of bravery and the unwavering pursuit of Swarajya that defined Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj&rsquo;s leadership. Lalitya Munshaw described the project as a meaningful experience, noting her deep respect for Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and calling it a privilege to be part of a song dedicated to his legacy.</p><p>Composer AVN Pavan Kumar said the composition demanded a careful balance between rhythm, melody, and pace to reflect the heroic tone of the subject, making the process both challenging and creatively fulfilling. In a thoughtful step toward connecting cultures beyond borders. Pune based Mr. Mahim Ojha has crafted the English subtitles for the project ensuring that its true emotion, depth and message reach a global audience.</p><p>According to Shri Raghvendra, Mann Mann Swaraj is based on the theme of Veer Ras (heroism) + Melody and is the result of extensive historical research. He added that special attention was given to the music arrangement, recording direction to ensure the song presents Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj&rsquo;s energy and ideals in a distinct and contemporary format. Shri Raghvendra also shared that if this creation is accepted, then his next creative offering will be dedicated to another eternal symbol of courage and sacrifice- Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi.</p><p>On the auspicious occasion of Shiv Jayanti, this song deserves to be played everywhere- in homes, public spaces, processions and celebrations- so that its energy can unite people in remembrance, respect and pride. Mann Mann Swaraj is available on Shri Raghvendra and Red Ribbon Musik YouTube channels, and all audio streaming platforms.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 11: </strong>At a time when immigration refusals are increasing and fraud cases are becoming harder to ignore, The Canadian Dream by Dr. Swapnil Kale (LLB, PHD, Pursing LLM Immigration Law) arrives with an unusually direct message: most people are not failing the system, the system is failing them first.</p><p>Unlike typical immigration guides built on success stories and promises of speed, the book is grounded in personal loss. More than a decade ago, Dr. Kale&rsquo;s own application to Canada was rejected after being mishandled by a well-known immigration consultancy. Incorrect documentation and false assurances led not only to refusal, but to the loss of time, money, and a confirmed UK migration opportunity he had already secured.</p><p>&ldquo;I trusted people who didn&rsquo;t fully understand the process themselves,&rdquo; Kale says. &ldquo;That mistake cost me years. This book exists because no one should have to learn immigration the hard way.&rdquo;</p><p>Rather than offering aspirational narratives, The Canadian Dream breaks down how popular pathways are routinely misrepresented. Kale challenges the idea of &ldquo;guaranteed visas,&rdquo; explains why Express Entry is far more competitive than most consultants admit, and outlines how practices like inflated CRS scores, fake job offers, and misused LMIAs continue to trap applicants. &ldquo;Any program which is not a legal route to Canada should immediately raise a red flag,&rdquo; he notes.</p><p>A significant portion of the book focuses on Canada&rsquo;s Start-Up Visa and C11 Investment route program, often marketed as a simple alternative to points-based immigration. Kale presents it differently, as a demanding but legitimate pathway for serious entrepreneurs willing to meet compliance, innovation, and long-term business requirements. &ldquo;Canada rewards preparation, not promises,&rdquo; he writes. &ldquo;If your business doesn&rsquo;t hold up on paper and in practice, the visa won&rsquo;t either.&rdquo;</p><p>Kale also advises prospective migrants to assess their eligibility carefully rather than pursuing Canada without due consideration. He notes that alternative destinations such as the UK, Germany, Portugal, Greece, and Italy may offer more viable pathways, and encourages applicants to focus on migration options that are realistic and achievable for their individual profiles,&nbsp;<strong>rather than pursuing pathways that are not feasible for them</strong>.</p><p>Dr. Kale also emphasizes U.S. settlement options through the&nbsp;<strong>EB-5</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>EB-1</strong>&nbsp;pathways, while recommending&nbsp;<strong>Citizenship-by-Investment</strong>&nbsp;programs in Europe and the Caribbean as viable alternatives.</p><p>Since founding his immigration consultancy in 2011, Dr. Kale has worked closely with Immigration lawyers and claims involvement in thousands of migration cases across Canada, the UK, the US, and Europe. That experience shapes the book&rsquo;s central argument: the real danger in immigration is not rejection, but misinformation.</p><p>&ldquo;At its worst, the industry sells hope without responsibility,&rdquo; Kale says. &ldquo;Migration should be difficult, but it should never be dishonest.&rdquo;</p><p>More than a guide, The Canadian Dream reads as a cautionary account for students, professionals, and entrepreneurs navigating an increasingly complex global migration landscape, one where clarity, not hype, may be the most valuable asset of all.</p><p>Get your hands on The Canadian Dream through:</p><p>Amazon:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.in/dp/936554579X/ref=sr_1_1">https://www.amazon.in/dp/936554579X/ref=sr_1_1</a></p><p>Flipkart:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.flipkart.com/canadian-dream-students-professionals-entrepreneurs-can-navigate-immigration-find-opportunities-build-wealth-canada/p/itm4bbc6c2ec7b3c?pid">https://www.flipkart.com/canadian-dream-students-professionals-entrepreneurs-can-navigate-immigration-find-opportunities-build-wealth-canada/p/itm4bbc6c2ec7b3c?pid</a></p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.

<p>New Delhi [India], February 10 : As India&rsquo;s fashion market evolves toward refined minimalism and purpose-driven design, premium women&rsquo;s western wear label DELAN has introduced a new brand narrative titled&nbsp;&ldquo;Suns and Shadows,&rdquo;&nbsp;reflecting the growing appetite for understated elegance, versatility, and modern sophistication among urban consumers.</p><p>The title&nbsp;&ldquo;Suns and Shadows&rdquo;&nbsp;feels expansive and cinematic, hinting at contrast, depth, and movement. It evokes a collection shaped by many moments bright, unapologetic highs and quieter, introspective lows. The name captures duality: light versus dark, softness versus strength, stillness versus drama. It works beautifully for pieces that play with multiple colours, varied textures, and bold statements, allowing each garment to exist in its own mood while remaining part of a cohesive story.</p><p>The concept marks a strategic creative shift for DELAN, offering a more cinematic and expressive visual language while remaining anchored in the brand&rsquo;s core philosophy of quiet luxury fashion that prioritises craftsmanship, comfort, and timeless appeal over fast-moving trends.&nbsp;&ldquo;Suns and Shadows&rdquo; feels fluid rather than rigid, like a journey through changing light across time, immersive, poetic, and editorial in its tone.</p><p>The collection explores contrast as a storytelling device light and depth, softness and structure mirroring the everyday realities of contemporary women navigating professional and personal spaces. The shoot demonstrates how premium western wear can feel elevated through refined silhouettes, premium fabrics, and subtle detailing, rather than overt embellishment.</p><p>Founded by&nbsp;Vikas Kumar Sardana,&nbsp;Founder and Creative Director, DELAN draws on more than two decades of experience across apparel manufacturing and retail. Beginning his career in surplus and retail apparel in 2008, Sardana gained deep operational insight into fabric quality, consumer behaviour, fit engineering, and durability insights that later shaped DELAN&rsquo;s design-first approach.</p><p>Launched in 2022, the brand was conceived to address a visible gap in India&rsquo;s premium western wear space: clothing that blends elegance with real-world wearability. From breathable fabrics and structured tailoring to versatile colour palettes, DELAN positions itself for women seeking wardrobe longevity rather than seasonal novelty.</p><p>&lsquo;Suns and Shadows&rsquo; represents the rhythm of everyday life strong moments, softer transitions, and everything in between,&rdquo;&nbsp;Sardana notes.&nbsp;&ldquo;Our designs are created for real environments workdays, meetings, social gatherings not just curated photoshoots. This campaign brings that reality into a modern, visual narrative.&rdquo;</p><p>The brand&rsquo;s strategy aligns with a broader shift in India&rsquo;s premium apparel sector. With consumers increasingly quality-conscious, investment dressing focused on comfort, durability, and multi-use styling is gaining momentum over trend-driven fashion cycles. Working professionals, in particular, are prioritising adaptable western wear that seamlessly transitions from daytime formal to evening casual.</p><p>Industry observers note that minimalist aesthetics, premium fabric experiences, and functional design have emerged as decisive purchase drivers, signalling a maturing fashion market that values craftsmanship alongside visual appeal.</p><p>Through&nbsp;&ldquo;Suns and Shadows,&rdquo;&nbsp;DELAN reinforces its product-centric positioning, highlighting precision fit, thoughtful construction, and fabric excellence while introducing a contemporary creative identity that reflects confidence, depth, and modern femininity.</p><p>As India&rsquo;s premium western wear segment continues to expand, brands rooted in quality-led design and lifestyle relevance are increasingly shaping the next phase of fashion consumption. DELAN&rsquo;s latest narrative signals a commitment to building enduring wardrobes, not fleeting trends, for the evolving Indian woman.</p>

The award was presented at a grand ceremony held at the Hyatt Hotel, Mumbai by Salman Khan&rsquo;s Movie Lucky Actress Sneha Ullal in presence of known Industrialist Dr. Aneel Kashi Murarka. Commending Dubey&rsquo;s noble work, actress Sneha Ullal said that individuals like him are essential for a progressive society.

His professional journey reflects excellence, integrity, and commitment to justice. He also serves as the Chairman of the VKDL NPA Advisory Council and is widely acknowledged for his expertise in financial matters and the resolution of Non-Performing Asset (NPA) accounts. Through a balanced and solution-oriented approach, he has resolved numerous challenging cases while safeguarding the interests of banks, industries, and the public at large. Notably, he has consistently extended legal support to the poor, small traders, and economically weaker sections, making quality legal assistance accessible to those in need.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 07:</strong> Getting a personal loan is not just access to funds, but a long-term financial commitment that needs careful planning, and most importantly, ensuring that the EMI does not burden your finances, or put you at the risk of defaulting on the loan.</p><p>Borrowers usually tend to focus on the loan amount and the interest rate and often underestimate the most important aspect of a loan, its EMI. An EMI is the money debited from your bank account every month to repay your loan. It has to fit into your monthly income comfortably. To get the correct estimate of EMI, using an EMI calculator is crucial.</p><p><strong>What Is An EMI and Why Does It Matter?&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Equated Monthly Instalment or EMIs are a fixed amount that a borrower must pay a lender every month as loan repayment for a fixed tenure. The EMI has a part principal and part interest amount.</p><p>The EMI has a direct and significant impact on your monthly cash flow. A higher EMI may put you under financial strain, while a longer loan tenure may increase the overall cost of interest paid. Finding the correct balance between these two scenarios is important.</p><p><strong>How an EMI Calculator Helps Before You Borrow&nbsp;</strong></p><p>An&nbsp;<a href="https://www.idfcfirst.bank.in/financial-calculators/emi-calculator">EMI calculator</a>&nbsp;allows you to get an amount based on the three primary criteria: loan amount, interest rate, and loan tenure. The calculator instantly displays the loan cost and the EMI. This helps the applicant get an exact figure over random guesses. Before taking on the financial responsibility of a personal loan, it is prudent to do these calculations to make an informed decision.</p><p><strong>Understanding the Impact of Loan Tenure&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Loan tenure plays a significant part in deciding the final EMI. Typically, shorter tenures have higher EMIs, and longer tenures have lower EMIs. It is also prudent to understand that longer tenures increase the overall loan cost.</p><p>EMI calculators allow you to adjust tenure and find an EMI that is well-suited for your current monthly income. This helps you avoid the risk of defaulting on EMI payments, which can lead to a long-term negative impact on your credit score and your ability to get approvals for credit products in the future.</p><p><strong>Interest Rates and EMI Planning&nbsp;</strong></p><p>The EMI amount is directly impacted by the interest rate. Even a slight difference can significantly change the overall loan amount to be repaid to the bank.</p><p>By using an EMI calculator, you can easily compare interest rates and see which loan offer is most economically comfortable for you.</p><p><strong>Planning Repayments Responsibly&nbsp;</strong></p><p>An EMI calculator allows the lender to identify the comfortable loan amount to borrow without taking on additional financial burden. Applicants can reverse the calculation by putting in the EMI that is comfortable in their budget, and see the loan amount that fits it. This helps you avoid over-borrowing and making practical decisions based on facts and figures.</p><p>Several leading lenders, such as IDFC First Bank, offer entirely digital personal loan application process through their offerings like FIRSTmoney. FIRSTmoney personal loan offers instant disbursal and a hassle free 100% digital process. The Bank also provides an EMI calculator to help borrowers make financially sound decisions.</p><p><strong>Avoiding Common Borrowing Mistakes&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Due to a lack of planning and using speculative numbers, borrowers may end up in stressful situations. An EMI calculator helps avoid:</p><p>Using tools like EMI calculators to your advantage is a smart decision for any applicant looking for a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.idfcfirst.bank.in/personal-banking/loans/personal-loan">personal loan</a>.</p><p><strong>Choosing the Correct Lender&nbsp;</strong></p><p>While modern tools are important, choosing a reliable lender is equally critical. Borrowers should look for transparent loan terms, flexibility of repayment, and digital support throughout the entire process.</p><p>Banks like IDFC FIRST Bank provide a 100% digital process from calculating EMIs, loan application, KYC, approval, and disbursal. FIRSTmoney personal loan by IDFC FIRST Bank also provides flexibility in the form of choice for repayment tenure and EMI date between 3rd&nbsp;to 8th&nbsp;of a month, making paying EMIs more comfortable for borrowers.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.

<p><strong>Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], February 07:</strong> After the journey of <em>Well Done CA Sahab</em>, Aaditya Trivedi found himself looking ahead rather than looking back. The film gave him confidence, clarity, and a deeper understanding of the audience he wants to speak to. It also made him realise that there were stories he was ready to tell now&mdash;stories that needed a different emotional language and a different cultural rhythm.</p><p>That instinct has led him to his second film, a Gujarati feature he will write and direct. Choosing Gujarati at this point feels timely and natural. With the success of films like&nbsp;<em>Laalo</em>,&nbsp;the&nbsp;industry&nbsp;itself is closely watching Gujarati cinema&mdash;curious about what comes next, how the space will evolve, and how stories from the region can travel wider. Aaditya sees this moment not as a trend, but as an opportunity to tell stories rooted in emotion while thinking big in scale and reach.</p><p><img src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-07T123246.263.jpg" alt="Chartered Accountant turned filmmaker Aaditya Trivedi brings his cinematic vision to Gujarati cinema with his second feature.-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>This&nbsp;upcoming&nbsp;film&nbsp;is&nbsp;being&nbsp;planned&nbsp;with&nbsp;ambition,&nbsp;but&nbsp;also&nbsp;with&nbsp;restraint.&nbsp;The&nbsp;scale&nbsp;is&nbsp;larger,&nbsp;the sentiment deeper, and the intent clearer. At the centre of everything is the story&mdash;because for Aaditya, no amount of scale works unless the audience feels connected to what&rsquo;s unfolding on screen.</p><p>The response to&nbsp;<em>Well Done CA Sahab&nbsp;</em>continues to stay with him. Watching the film trend on Waves&nbsp;OTT&nbsp;throughout&nbsp;the&nbsp;month&nbsp;was&nbsp;overwhelming,&nbsp;not&nbsp;just&nbsp;as&nbsp;a&nbsp;filmmaker,&nbsp;but&nbsp;as&nbsp;a&nbsp;storyteller.&nbsp;It reaffirmed&nbsp;his&nbsp;belief&nbsp;that&nbsp;audiences&nbsp;are&nbsp;eager&nbsp;for&nbsp;films&nbsp;that&nbsp;entertain&nbsp;them&nbsp;honestly&mdash;without&nbsp;talking down to them or relying only on formulas.</p><p><img src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-07T123312.604.jpg" alt="Chartered Accountant turned filmmaker Aaditya Trivedi brings his cinematic vision to Gujarati cinema with his second feature.-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>Alongside&nbsp;this&nbsp;Gujarati&nbsp;feature,&nbsp;Aaditya&nbsp;is&nbsp;also&nbsp;developing&nbsp;a&nbsp;Hindi&nbsp;film&nbsp;as&nbsp;a&nbsp;writer,&nbsp;currently&nbsp;in&nbsp;the early stages of development. It&rsquo;s a quieter process for now, allowing the idea to grow at its own pace while his focus remains firmly on the Gujarati project.</p><p>At&nbsp;the&nbsp;heart&nbsp;of&nbsp;Aaditya&rsquo;s&nbsp;cinema&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;simple&nbsp;and&nbsp;clear&nbsp;motive:&nbsp;to&nbsp;entertain&nbsp;people&nbsp;in&nbsp;a&nbsp;meaningful way.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 07:</strong> Indian food culture has a rich and diverse history of being plant-forward. Across the country, grains, lentils, vegetables, and fruits have formed the base of everyday meals. These century-old habits might have been routine at one point in time, but the popularity of modern eating patterns has seen a turn towards faster, more processed alternatives.</p><p>For entrepreneur and wellness thinker Gagan Dhawan, the concern lies in the outcome it has on the human body instead of simply looking back with nostalgia.</p><p>&ldquo;What we now call a vegan diet is supported by solid global science,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;Interestingly, many Indian food patterns already reflected these principles long before research caught up.&rdquo;</p><p>As people have become more urbanised, westernised food systems are altering how people eat. Meals are heavier, faster, and increasingly disconnected from the body&rsquo;s actual needs. Processed foods are an indulgence that have become routine.</p><p>&ldquo;We are now eating in ways our bodies don&rsquo;t really understand,&rdquo; Dhawan explains. &ldquo;Food may not be bad, but an unbalanced diet can leave us feeling off. Left to itself, the body will always demand cleaner food.&rdquo;</p><p>The results are now visible at scale. Heart disease, diabetes and cancer remain among the leading causes of death globally. Compounding matters, these diseases are systemic outcomes of the food being produced and consumed.</p><p>Like many professionals, Dhawan explored multiple diet frameworks over the years. From his experiences, trendy diets and elimination-based approaches delivered short-term changes but the results rarely lasted.</p><p>&ldquo;Extreme diets may show quick results, but they also stress the body,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;A diet that is sustainable matters more.&rdquo;</p><p>His shift came through exposure to whole food vegan research emerging from medical and academic institutions. Large-scale studies, like that by New York University, show that a WFPB diet can significantly reduce medication dependence and, in many cases, reverse conditions such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes.</p><p>Taking this approach means an emphasis on unprocessed plant foods, vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, nuts and seeds.</p><p>&ldquo;What you eat every day is what you become,&rdquo; Dhawan says. &ldquo;When you make the right choices, you see the results in your body. Think of your plate as the direction of how your body will look and feel.&rdquo;</p><p>Dhawan&rsquo;s framework focuses on a whole food vegan pattern that delivers fibre, micronutrients and bioactive compounds essential for long-term metabolic health.</p><p>&ldquo;A vegan diet can still be highly processed,&rdquo; he notes. &ldquo;A whole food vegan diet is about what you include and how little you rely on refinement.&rdquo;</p><p>There have been multiple studies proving that whole food vegan diets support cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, and improve cognitive function. Contrary to common myths, vegan diets are also able to support the building of muscle and strength, with unprocessed carbohydrates playing a key role in fat reduction and performance.</p><p>Nutrition science increasingly points to food as a primary intervention rather than a secondary support. Studies from institutions such as Harvard have demonstrated greater weight loss on vegan diets compared to controlled diets over similar timeframes. An added benefit is that plant proteins deliver significantly higher antioxidant levels than animal proteins, which are linked to inflammation and increased disease risk.</p><p>Another challenge when changing mindsets is the assumption that vegan diets are expensive. Following a whole food diet includes staples that remain among the most cost-effective foods available.</p><p>&ldquo;When people see this as a restriction, they miss the variety,&rdquo; Dhawan says. &ldquo;There are thousands of vegan recipes, and even regular restaurants offer vegan options.&rdquo;</p><p>While health outcomes matter most, Dhawan also highlights the broader implications of dietary choices. Going vegan has a lower environmental impact and is one of the most effective ways to shrink your carbon footprint, as per a study published by Oxford University.</p><p>There is also a psychological dimension when avoiding dairy and meat consumption. For many, a change in their diet toward whole foods provides mental health benefits, more energy, and a greater sense of well-being when they shift.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s about supporting the body properly,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;When it is properly supported, everything else works better.&rdquo;</p><p>For Dhawan, this way of eating is not a dramatic overhaul of a person&rsquo;s habits or associated with their identity. It is a series of small, conscious choices made over time to better your diet and opt for healthier alternatives. That&rsquo;s why he emphasis meals that feel familiar, accessible, and sustainable within modern routines.</p><p>Progress, in this sense, shows up in steadier days, and better lifestyle choices. In choosing foods that work with the body rather than against it, the shift from heavy diets to conscious eating becomes less about trying something new and more about a mental shift.</p><p>In a world overwhelmed by extremes, Dhawan&rsquo;s approach is deliberately practical. To eat smarter and let the science lead.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 05: </strong>Honeymoon, a word that brings up the visuals of sandy beaches, candid couple photos, hearts tied together with ribbons and a lot more to your thoughts, right?</p><p>But Honeymoon Se Hatya has come up with the real-life crimes that grabbed the attention of the nation through their shocking reality. The web series on ZEE5 presents the cases where marriages began with joyous hope but ended with tragedies. Well-researched storytelling, absolute reenactments, and heartfelt interviews with the people make the series quite interesting.</p><p>Honeymoon Se Hatya is one of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.zee5.com/web-series">best web series on ZEE5</a>&nbsp;that brings up a different type of storytelling for the audience. The series starts with the &ldquo;how&rdquo; and &ldquo;why&rdquo; queries while exploring the unseen emotional fractures in the relationships that eventually led to tragedy. It is a five-episode docu-drama where each episode is based on high-profile cases that happened across the different parts of India. These stories unpack relationships perfectly. From emotional isolation to unspoken tensions, the series takes the audience deep into the factors like control, betrayal, suppression and resentment that rarely get discussed openly. The interviews with the family members, investigators, journalists, and neighbours help in reconstructing a series of events that appear quite perfect and credible.</p><p>The main thing that has contributed to the success of this web series is its absolute direction and narrative style. This series by Ajitesh Sharma prefers authenticity and subtle storytelling that feels connected. Each episode of the series starts with the relationship dynamics and presents the emotions slowly while taking the audience to the very important moment of fights.</p><p>Reenactments by Anurekha Bhagat and Sushmita bring the stories of real characters perfectly to the screen.</p><p>Honeymoon se Hatya comes up with a case-by-case anthology where each episode covers a different incident. The structure keeps the series tight and impactful, and keeps the audience connected.</p><p>Here is a brief look at the stories it covers:</p><p>The Blue Drum Case covers a chilling story that starts with the disappearance and transforms into one of the most heinous murders.</p><p>It is a staged accident that raises the questions about intentions, resentment and escalation.</p><p>A normal domestic dispute turns into a dark secret of concealment and betrayal later on.</p><p>It&rsquo;s the story that shows how public personas can hide private struggles while adding layers to how we see the social media influencer.</p><p>It is a heartbreaking and complex story that questions how well we truly know our partners.</p><p>It is a documentary-style web series that rather than depending upon actors for presenting the stories includes anchors for reenactments. The performances of the reenactment actors play a significant role in making the stories feel relatable and human. Anurekha Bhagat and Susmita are the credited performers who have translated written reports and interviews into lived emotional moments. The creativity team also has perfectly balanced the facts and empathy, making the stories quite relatable and touching. Ajitesh Sharma has come up with a fantastic project this time that not only connects with the audience but is a mirror to society that shows what happens when relationships develop space or some questions remain unanswered. The series makes the audience aware and pushes them to think deeply.</p><p>The main thing that made the Honeymoon Se Hatya engaging is its ability to capture the silent, invisible wounds in relationships. The series presents the crime scenes that are the result of slow and cumulative shifts. This series perfectly shows how the unanswered questions, subtle control, and isolation result in broken relationships. The makers of the series have focused on the human choices, relationship fractures and social pressures that create situations where tragedy becomes possible.</p><p>Honeymoon Se Hatya is one of the most powerful and memorable true crime experiences on ZEE5 that stands out because of its shocking and intelligent storyline. The series goes beyond the body counts and arrest reports by asking questions that connect. It mainly focuses on the reasons and results of the crimes that turn humans into animals. Honeymoon Se Hatya on ZEE5 is a webseries on ZEE5 is an experience that every docu-drama must watch. It is an engaging, unsettling and deeply human look at how love can bend, break and sometimes fracture into something tragically irreversible.</p><p>So, guys! Whether you love watching true crime stories or are curious to watch more meaningful content than average crime content, Honeymoon Se Hatya deserves a top spot on your OTT watchlist.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.

No contribution is too small because every effort strengthens the foundation of education.</p><p><strong>A Reliable Evaluation System Built on Credibility &nbsp;</strong></p><p>To ensure authenticity and fairness, FAP follows a structured two-step assessment process:</p><p>&ndash; Online evaluation of submitted data<br>
&ndash; Offline verification by experienced educators</p><p>This hybrid approach combines digital efficiency with human insight, making sure that only genuine achievements are celebrated. As a result, the FAP National Awards have gained strong credibility and respect across India.</p><p><strong>Graced by Eminent Personalities &nbsp;</strong></p><p>FAP award ceremonies are known for their grandeur and inspiration and have welcomed:<br>

<p><strong>Gurugram (Haryana) [India], February 07:</strong> The Divine Drop Festival, held on 31 January in Gurugram, presented a large-scale spiritual and cultural event aimed at engaging audiences across age groups, moving away from the traditional bhajan-centric format commonly associated with devotional programmes.</p><p>Organisers said the festival was curated to reflect Hindu culture as a shared, immersive experience, combining devotion with music, performance art, poetry and ritual, rather than limiting the presentation to conventional bhajan sessions. The format attracted families, younger audiences and devotees, signalling a broader shift in how spiritual events are being designed.</p><p>The programme opened with an auspicious Ganesh Vandana, followed by a Sri Krishna-themed dance performance. A live set by Brythm &ndash; The Band introduced contemporary musical elements, adding to the event&rsquo;s appeal among younger attendees while maintaining devotional themes.</p><p>One of the prominent segments of the evening was a large-scale Hanuman act, which drew strong engagement from children and family audiences. Poet Phycoshayar recited verses centred on Lord Ram, followed by a Hanuman Chalisa dance performance that resonated with the crowd.</p><p>The latter part of the event featured a Shiv Tandav act, after which a Ganga Aarti, performed by pundits from Varanasi, recreated traditional ceremonial practices on stage. Performances by the Damru Mandal accompanied the ritual segment. The festival concluded with the collective chanting of &ldquo;Om Jai Jagdish Aarti.&rdquo;</p><p>The Divine Drop Festival was conceptualised and directed by Vineet Kumar, Director of Weez Bhakti, and hosted by RJ Rocky, with support from Seed Bliss by YAMS and Pomsse. Organisers said the intent was to present spirituality in a format that remains rooted in tradition while being relevant and engaging for contemporary audiences.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 07</strong>: The sneaker resale market is no longer a subculture hustle. It is a structured, global economy and Gen Z is running the floor with receipts, data, and profit margins.</p><p><a href="https://www.theestablished.com/style/sneakers/can-indias-sneaker-reseller-business-survive-the-global-sneaker-hype-crash">Sneaker resale</a> market is at a new peak and this time it is not the hype-driven madness. It is planned scarcity generated by demand.</p><p>Nike and Adidas are putting out limited collections that are reselling at a number of times their retail prices on a regular basis. Some pairs flip for hundreds. Others for thousands. Platforms do not experience spikes; they experience sustained growth. This is not a moment. It is momentum.</p><p>The focus of this shift is on gen z resellers. They can deal with drops, demand cycles and resale algorithms as well as many traditional retailers know their inventory.</p><p>This is not impulse buying. It is counted involvement in a market that provides some reward to timing, information and discipline.</p><p>Sneakers used to be footwear. Thereupon, they were collectibles. Now they behave like assets.</p><p>This move was driven by three forces.<br>First, scarcity by artificial means of limited drops.<br>Second, endorsement by celebrities, athletes and artists.<br>Third, e-commerce that facilitated resale with ease.</p><p>A sneaker now has a cultural or social currency and resale value. It is a very potent combination.</p><p>The sneaker resale market is a successful industry since it resembles financial markets. Entry price matters. Timing matters. Holding periods matter. Exit strategy matters.</p><p>No romance. Just math and taste.</p><p>Elderly generations tossed things around. Gen Z built systems.</p><p>The resellers follow release calendars several months in advance. They apply bots wherever it is allowed. They watch resale websites live. They are aware of the regional demand variations. They price dynamically.</p><p>It is a micro-business of sneaker flipping with this generation. Costs are logged. Margins are calculated. The heartbreaks are taken in stride.</p><p>Many resellers recoup profits by building larger inventories. Others expand to include apparel and accessories and streetwear partnerships.</p><p>What may appear to be informal reselling on the surface is most often a well-organized computer game.</p><p>The sneaker resale business operates on platforms, not in parking-lot deals.</p><p>Marketplaces verify products, normalise price information, and build trust. That infrastructure shifted the risk-heavy, bargaining-based resale model to scalable commerce.</p><p>Buyers trust verification. Sellers trust liquidity. Pricing is stabilised on demand and not rumor.</p><p>This is the platform-based transparency that enabled the sneaker resale market to expand to the global scale.</p><p>In its absence, flipping remains little. Through it, flipping becomes economical.</p><p>Brands do not stand on the sidelines.</p><p>Nike and Adidas orchestratea&nbsp; shortage in the release strategies. Limited supply fuels hype. Hype fuels resale. Brand dominance is fuelled by resale.</p><p>Although the brands publicly unlink themselves from the resale gains, they enjoy the advantage of cultural relevance and long-term demand.</p><p>Brand mythology is enhanced by every sold-out drop. Desirability is strengthened by every resale premium.</p><p>The sale of sneakers is not a system leak. It is part of the system.</p><p>India is no exception to this. It is early.</p><p>Gen Z customers in the city are becoming increasingly connected with the sneaker culture in the world. The Indian buyers get the international drops quicker than ever before. The resale societies within the country are on the increase in places such as Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru.</p><p>The price sensitivity coupled with aspiration is what is interesting about India. That is a mixture that makes shrewd traders.</p><p>Sneaker resellers in India are already playing the prices of the world against the local demand. The Indian sneaker resale market will become formal with the further advancement of logistics and authentication.</p><p>This is not just fashion. It is young-run business adjusting to the international trends.</p><p>Let&rsquo;s not romanticise it.</p><p>The sneaker resale business is risky. Prices fluctuate. Demand shifts. Excess supply has a way of smashing margins. Verification does not mean that counterfeits do not exist.</p><p>Not every pair flips. Not every reseller wins.</p><p>The regulation is also keeping up. Resale income is starting to attract the attention of the tax authorities. YouTube is restricting compliance.</p><p>It is no longer a hobby that does not go anywhere. It is an auditable, visible and taxable market.</p><p>And that is the mark of manliness, not decadence.</p><p>The second step will be reduced hype, increased design.</p><p>Expect better data tools. Smarter pricing models. Faster authentication. More cross-border trade.</p><p>Gen Z resellers will become brand consultants, drop analysts and micro-distributors.</p><p>The sneaker resale business is not going to fail. It will consolidate.</p><p>And those who do make it a serious business will not fall.</p><p><a href="https://pnndigital.com/category/lifestyle/">PNN LIFESTYLE</a></p>

<p><br></p><p>Gujarati cinema is ready to welcome a
film that doesn&rsquo;t stay confined to the screen but quietly finds its way into
the heart of the audience. &ldquo;Malumadi&rdquo;, presented by Sidhhant Motion Pictures
and produced by Vikram Patolia and Kiran Khokhani, is set to release in
theatres on 30th January 2026.<p></p></p><p>This is not the story of a fictional
heroine.<br>
This is the story of every Gujarati household&rsquo;s mother.<p></p></p><p>Fondly known as &ldquo;Gujarat&rsquo;s Mother India&rdquo;,
Malumadi is an emotional contribution to the selfless love, quiet strength and
unspoken sacrifices of Gujarati mothers, a form of motherhood that steps back
so the family can move forward.<p></p></p><p>Directed with sensitivity by Milan Joshi,
Malumadi explores love, sacrifice and the unbreakable bond of family in a way
that resonates across generations. It is a clean, family-friendly film, rooted
in emotion, values and truth.<p></p></p><p>Malumadi tells a story that lives, in one
form or another, in every Gujarati home,<br>
where a mother stands tall as the emotional pillar of the family.<p></p></p><p>This line from the film captures its
soul:<br>
&ldquo;I refuse to carry the burden of sins created by divisions of caste and
identity.&rdquo;<p></p></p><p>These words are more than dialogue.<br>
They reflect a mother&rsquo;s moral courage, choosing humanity over social prejudice.<p></p></p><p>The film addresses contemporary social
realities with sensitivity, while reminding us that the true strength of a
family lies in love, not division.<p></p></p><p>The film&rsquo;s music is composed by Harman
Mer, with lyrics penned by Kiran Khokhani. The title track, in particular,
captures the essence of maternal love and silent sacrifice with such simplicity
that the emotion speaks louder than words.<a></a><br>
<br>
Performances that feel real<p></p></p><p>In the lead role, Bharti Thakkar delivers
a performance that is not just watched but deeply felt. It stands among her
most powerful and emotionally rich portrayals to date.<p></p></p><p>She is supported by a strong ensemble
cast, including<br>
Aakash Pandya, Priyam Talavia, Gurubhai Jethwa, Diya Bhatt, Vijay Jhala,
Ashitosh Solanki,<br>
along with veteran actors Ashok Patel and Niharika Dave, who add depth and
authenticity to the narrative.<p></p></p><p>Cinematographer Jayesh Kaushik brings
visual realism and warmth to the film. The project is managed by Parth Navadia,
with Bharat Donda serving as Production Head.<p></p></p><p>Producer Vikram Patolia shares,<p></p></p><p>&ldquo;Malumadi is not just a film, it&rsquo;s the
story of every home.<br>
A mother quietly holds everything together, without ever asking to be seen.<br>
This film is our humble attempt to honour the emotions of all such mothers.&rdquo;<p></p></p><p>With digital promotions led by Nexa
Infotech, Malumadi has already begun creating an emotional connection on social
media. The trailer has received encouraging responses on YouTube and Instagram,
with #malumadifilm steadily gaining popularity.<p></p></p><p>&#127916; Watch the trailer:<br>

series "Videshi Bahu" is back with its second season. STAGE App has
released "Videshi Bahu - Season 2." After the immense popularity of
the first season, viewers have been waiting for its sequel for a long time.
This time, the story will be even more entertaining, complex, and filled with a
desi twist. In this new season, powerful actors like Rajesh Singhpuria, Jagbir
Rathi, Naveen Naru, Irina, ND Anushka, Jogendra Kundu, Rambir Aryan, Rajkumar
Dhankhar, and Reena Balhara will once again provide viewers with a dose of
laughter and drama with their hilarious performances. Four episodes of this web
series were released simultaneously on the first day, and now two new episodes

immense love from viewers since its first day and has broken all records in the
regional industry.<p></p></p><p><b>A dose of comedy every

is being released in an episodic format. New episodes will be available every
Friday on the STAGE App, keeping viewers engaged with laughter, drama, and new
relationship complexities. The creator of this web series is Mohit Bharti, who
also created the first season. Mohit Bharti says that the first season of
Videshi Bahu was a huge hit, and viewers have been eagerly awaiting its second
season ever since. The second season has been expanded to meet audience demand.
The new season features a total of 26 episodes, providing viewers with a double
dose of comedy every week.<p></p></p><p><b>When two daughters-in-law
are face-to-face... and the poor husband is caught in the middle:</b><p></p></p><p>While the clash between the
foreign daughter-in-law and the Indian family brought laughter to the audience
in the first season, the story takes a more serious turn in Season 2. Now, the
issue is not just about culture, but love, tradition, and rights. On one side
is the foreign daughter-in-law's wisdom and modern thinking, while on the
other, the Indian daughter-in-law's rights, stubbornness, and village
traditions. In the middle is Azad—caught between two daughters-in-law, finding
himself in new trouble every day.<p></p></p><p><br></p><p><b>Story: A desi twist, a
foreign shock, and a burst of comedy<p></p></b></p><p>'Videshi Bahu - Season 2'
is a story that explores the complexities of relationships with a lighthearted
humor. This is a story of desi versus videshi, where every decision upsets
someone. Each episode brings new misunderstandings, hilarious conflicts, family
pressures, and a powerful punch of desi comedy, giving viewers a completely
relatable and entertaining experience.<p></p></p><p><b>A story rooted in Haryanvi
soil, reaching every home:<p></p></b></p><p>The biggest strength of
this web series is its desi roots. The village streets, the domestic squabbles,
the taunts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the husband's
helplessness are all depicted in a way that Haryana audiences can relate to.
India's first dialect-based OTT platform, STAGE App, is continuously
reinventing Haryanvi content. 'Videshi Bahu - Season 2' furthers STAGE's vision
of presenting global entertainment in the local language. According to the
STAGE App team, “Videshi Bahu is not just a comedy, it is the story of every
household in Haryana.<p></p></p><p>Season 2 is going to bring
more laughter, drama and entertainment to the audience than ever before.”<p></p></p><p><b>Promo Link : </b><a href="https://youtu.be/KZ8yoKECAgY">https://youtu.be/KZ8yoKECAgY</a><p></p></p>]]> </content:encoded>

<p><br></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] : </strong>In an era where
the sacred traditions of Indian classical music are tenderly guarded by
dedicated custodians, the Naushad Academy of Hindustani Sangeet stands as a
beacon of cultural preservation. On the evening of Saturday, January 31st,
2026, the attendees resonated with the timeless strains of a Sitar-Tabla
Jugalbandi that transported a mesmerized audience to a bygone era of musical
purity.<p></p></p><p>The recital featured the virtuosity of world renowned <strong>Sitarist
Bhagirath Bhatt</strong> and the rhythmic brilliance of eminent <strong>Tabla
player Manas Vora</strong>. Their performance was not merely a concert but a
testament to the enduring vitality of the classical tradition, maintained today
through the unwavering patronage of institutions like the Naushad Academy.<p></p></p><p><strong>A Tapestry of Raags and Rhythm</strong><p></p></p><p>The evening commenced with the melancholic grandeur of <strong>Raag Kirwani.</strong>
Bhatt unfolded the raag with a beautifully structured <strong>Alap, Jod, and
Jhala,&nbsp;</strong>allowing the warm, resonant strains of the sitar to
permeate the silence. His intricate finger work crisscrossed the frets, weaving
a rich tapestry of sound that shifted effortlessly from serene introspection to
powerful rhythmic vibrancy.<p></p></p><p>The narrative then transitioned to <strong>Raag Charukeshi,</strong>
rendered with remarkable depth and finesse. Bhatt presented a mesmerizing
bandish set to a <strong>rare 9-matra taal,</strong> followed by a spirited
bandish in <strong>Drut Teen Taal.</strong> It was here when Manas Vora&rsquo;s tabla
entered the dialogue, blending seamlessly with the melodic flow of the sitar.<p></p></p><p>The resulting Jugalbandi was a display of electric chemistry&mdash;a rhythmic
dialogue of energy, texture, and precision. The interplay generated waves of
pure musical energy, oscillating between the contemplative and the
exhilarating, transporting listeners to heightened states of ecstasy. The
escalating tempos and complex rhythmic patterns reflected the artist's profound
understanding of the Hindustani classical idiom.<p></p></p><p><strong>A Homage to Legends</strong><p></p></p><p>The recital concluded on a soulful note with a bandish in Raag Mishra
Pahadi. In a moments of deep emotional resonance, Bhatt rendered the iconic
composition <strong>&ldquo;Udja Kale Kawan,&rdquo;</strong> paying a heartfelt tribute to
its creator, the legendary composer Shri Uttam Singh Jee, who was present in
the audience. This moving homage stood out as one of the evening&rsquo;s most
memorable highlights.<p></p></p><p>World-renowned composer and Music Director <strong>Shri Uttam Singh</strong>
Jee remarked, &lsquo;Having witnessed numerous sitar performances, I was deeply
impressed by Bhagirath Bhatt&rsquo;s mastery over his instrument, and Manas was
equally good on tabla. Bhagirath Jee&rsquo;s playing was truly soulful and
spellbinding. If and when given a chance, I certainly will have Bhagirath Jee
play for me in the times ahead.&rsquo;<p></p></p><p>Speaking on the occasion, <strong>Shri Rehman Naushad&nbsp;</strong>observed,
&lsquo;It was an honour to witness and be part of this exceptional recital. Bhagirath
Bhatt Sahab has an immensely bright future ahead of him, much like that of Shr
Ravi Shankar Jee. I wish him every success.<p></p></p><p>Esteemed composer and producer <strong>Shri Gurmeet Singh&nbsp;</strong>(son
of Uttam Singh) shared the story of the duo&rsquo;s discovery: Through a
recommendation, I watched Bhagirath Bhatt Jee&rsquo;s performances on YouTube and was
instantly struck by how tuneful yet technically accomplished he is. My team
immediately reached out to him, he was overwhelmed and accepted to perform. I
was truly mesmerised by the duo&rsquo;s performance and look forward to many future
collaborations.<p></p></p><p><strong>Stewards of the Tradition</strong><p></p></p><p>This evening of musical excellence was presented under the expert guidance
of the Academy&rsquo;s permanent trustees, who continue to serve as pillars for the
classical arts and preserving musical culture and heritage:<p></p></p><p>The Academy also gratefully acknowledged the collaborative efforts that
ensured the<br>
event&rsquo;s resounding success, including Event Organiser Ms. Parmeet Kaur, Media<br>
Consultant David Allan Vaz, and Nabh Kumar Raju (Photography - Videography)
along<br>
with his NKR Film School students and the entire dedicated event crew.<p></p></p><p>Website: <a href="http://www.gurmeetsingh.net/">www.gurmeetsingh.net</a><br>

<p><b>Mumbai</b>: Bollywood star <strong>Akshay Kumar</strong> is set to return to cinemas with a bang as his much-anticipated horror-comedy <strong>Bhoot Bangla</strong> has officially advanced its theatrical release date. Originally scheduled to hit screens on May 15, 2026, the film will now arrive a month earlier on <strong>April 10, 2026</strong>, much to the delight of fans and trade analysts alike.</p><p>The decision to prepone the release is being viewed as a well-calculated strategic move by the makers to secure a stronger theatrical window and capitalize on heightened audience interest. With fewer competing releases expected during the period, <em>Bhoot Bangla</em> is poised to enjoy better visibility and box-office traction upon its release.</p><p>Directed by veteran filmmaker <strong>Priyadarshan</strong>, the film marks another exciting collaboration that promises to bring Akshay Kumar back in his much-loved entertainer avatar. Known for his impeccable comic timing and mass appeal, the actor is expected to strike a fine balance between humor, suspense, and mystery&mdash;elements that define the horror-comedy genre.</p><p>Adding considerable strength to the project is its impressive ensemble cast, featuring Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Tabu, and Rajpal Yadav. The presence of seasoned performers alongside emerging talent has further heightened expectations, with audiences anticipating a rich blend of performance-driven comedy and engaging storytelling.</p><p><em>Bhoot Bangla</em> is presented by <strong>Balaji Motion Pictures</strong>, a division of <strong>Balaji Telefilms Ltd.</strong>, in association with <strong>Cape of Good Films</strong>. The collaboration between these established production banners signals a project mounted on a strong creative and commercial foundation.</p><p>Industry insiders believe the film&rsquo;s genre, combined with Akshay Kumar&rsquo;s star power and Priyadarshan&rsquo;s directorial expertise, positions <em>Bhoot Bangla</em> as a potential crowd-puller across urban and mass circuits. Horror-comedies have historically performed well at the Indian box office, especially when backed by recognizable faces and engaging narratives.</p><p>As anticipation builds, <em>Bhoot Bangla</em> is shaping up to deliver a perfect mix of laughter and chills, offering audiences a wholesome theatrical experience. With its new release date locked in, all eyes are now on April 10, 2026, when the film is expected to create a significant buzz across cinema halls nationwide.</p>

<p><strong>Pune (Maharashtra) [India], January 22:</strong>&nbsp;Digikore Studios&rsquo; original docu-series&nbsp;<em>Heroes</em>, currently streaming exclusively on JioHotstar, is witnessing strong momentum across platforms, reaffirming the growing appetite for authentic, insight-driven entrepreneurial content among Indian audiences. Since its release, the series has delivered impressive viewership performance, high audience retention, and sustained digital engagement, positioning it as one of the most impactful docu-series in its genre.</p><p>Despite being positioned as business docu-series, Heroes has managed to set new benchmarks typically associated with mainstream entertainment formats. Viewer behaviour indicates that audiences are not only consuming the content in large numbers but are also deeply engaging with it, sharing episodes, participating in discussions, and expressing appreciation for the show&rsquo;s storytelling depth and authenticity across social media platforms.</p><p>Heroes is a high-impact business docu-series that showcases the visionaries behind India&rsquo;s most iconic brands, leaders whose ideas, persistence, and execution have reshaped industries, created employment at scale, and built enduring legacies. Streaming all 11 episodes together, the series offers a binge-worthy experience that blends strategic insight with human storytelling.</p><p>Each episode features a prominent industry leader whose company has left a lasting imprint on India&rsquo;s economic ecosystem, including Jeet Adani (Adani Defence &amp; Aerospace), Prithvi Singh (Gameskraft), Rajiv Bajaj (Bajaj Capital), Anil Jain (Jain Irrigation), Rohit Garg (Olyv), Saloni Anand (Traya), Tarun Sharma (mCaffeine), Rakesh Chopdar (Azad Engineering), Meghana Gorukanti Jupally (Meru International), Viraj Bahl (Veeba), and Rakesh Modi (Mtandt). Collectively, these stories represent India&rsquo;s entrepreneurial evolution, from homegrown startups to global manufacturers, and from traditional sectors to innovation-led businesses shaping the future.</p><p>What sets Heroes apart is its narrative depth. Rather than focusing solely on achievements, the series explores origin stories, bold risks, failures, pivots, and strategic inflection points that defined each founder&rsquo;s journey. This approach has resonated strongly with viewers, who have responded positively to the show&rsquo;s honesty, realism, and educational value.</p><p>From a brand perspective, the response has been equally encouraging. Brands featured in the series have expressed satisfaction with the quality of visibility, reach, and authentic integration the format delivers. Unlike conventional promotional content, Heroes offers meaningful narratives that connect brands with audiences in a credible, long-lasting way, driving recall, trust, and engagement beyond the screen.</p><p>Commenting on the show&rsquo;s performance, Abhishek More, Founder and Producer, Digikore Studios, said, &ldquo;The response to Heroes has reinforced our belief that audiences are ready for content that goes beyond surface-level success stories. Viewers are engaging deeply with the journeys, the challenges, and the decisions that shaped these brands. For us, Heroes is not just a series, it&rsquo;s a content property that demonstrates how powerful authentic storytelling can be, both for audiences and for brands.&rdquo;</p><p>Produced by Digikore Studios, known for creating high-quality visual and storytelling experiences across film, television, and digital platforms, Heroes continues the studio&rsquo;s mission to develop content that informs, inspires, and reflects India&rsquo;s growth story. At a time when India is transitioning from &ldquo;Make in India&rdquo; to &ldquo;Making in India for the World,&rdquo; Heroes stands out as a definitive narrative celebrating the country&rsquo;s entrepreneurial spirit.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], January 22: </strong>After years of choosing duty over desire, one man reclaims his true calling and steps into the world of acting with renewed purpose.&rdquo;</p><p>CHIRAG MOKANI&rsquo;s journey is a compelling testament to responsibility, resilience, and the courage it takes to finally answer the call of one&rsquo;s true passion. A resident of ANDHERI, Mumbai&mdash;a city that breathes cinema, enterprise, and relentless ambition&mdash;CHIRAG grew up in an environment where dreams felt close, yet duties arrived early. From a young age, he became actively involved in his family&rsquo;s profession as an Interior Work Contractor, while simultaneously establishing himself as a committed Estate Broker. These demanding roles required discipline, consistency, and emotional maturity, shaping him into a grounded professional who understood the realities of life. Still, beneath blueprints, property deals, and deadlines lived a quiet, unwavering dream&mdash;the desire to become an actor.</p><p>That passion had roots in his schooling days, when CHIRAG found himself deeply drawn to performance. The magic of the screen fascinated him: the silent power of expressions, the emotional honesty of storytelling, and the way a character could reflect truth back to an audience. School functions, cultural programs, and everyday observations of people around him slowly nurtured this fascination. Acting, for CHIRAG, was never just about stardom; it was about expression, connection, and authenticity. Yet, like many who shoulder responsibility early, he chose stability over aspiration. Business brought him respect and success, but the actor within him remained awake&mdash;patiently waiting.</p><p>That turning point arrived in the most unexpected manner. While casually browsing Facebook, CHIRAG came across the MFI Film &amp; TV Institute. What began as a simple click soon transformed into a life-changing moment. Something about MFI resonated deeply&mdash;its clarity, sincerity, and purpose. Intrigued, CHIRAG initiated a conversation with an institute representative, which soon led him to visit the Goregaon campus in person.</p><p>The visit proved decisive. Meeting Manoj Maheshwar, the Founder and Managing Director of MFI, left a profound impact on him. Manoj Maheshwar&rsquo;s passion for cinema, his commitment to nurturing real talent, and his genuine enthusiasm for the craft struck a powerful chord. This was not merely an introduction to an acting school; it was an encounter with belief. CHIRAG found in him a mentor who understood journeys that begin later&mdash;but begin with determination. The disciplined yet creative environment at MFI gave CHIRAG what he had long been seeking: the reassurance that it is never too late to start.</p><p>Fueled by renewed clarity and confidence, CHIRAG made a bold decision&mdash;he enrolled at MFI Film &amp; TV Institute, choosing to treat his dream with the seriousness it deserved. This marked a defining shift from hesitation to action. Today, CHIRAG is immersed in rigorous acting training that goes far beyond memorizing lines. His journey includes deep emotional work, character understanding, body language, voice modulation, and discovering the inner truth of every role.</p><p><img src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMjAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEyMDAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojZmZmZmZmO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==" alt="CHIRAG MOKANI: A Journey from Responsibility to Glam World-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>Currently, CHIRAG has undergone intensive training for the web series STOP CRIME &ndash; 2, appearing in the episode titled &ldquo;KIDNAP.&rdquo; This experience has played a crucial role in his transformation. Through structured workshops and on-camera sessions, he has witnessed fear turn into confidence and hesitation evolve into conviction. The camera, once intimidating, now feels familiar. Each rehearsal, take, and feedback session has strengthened his belief in himself as a performer capable of delivering honest, professional, and emotionally grounded performances.</p><p>What truly distinguishes CHIRAG is the maturity and emotional intelligence he brings from his professional life. Years of client interactions, negotiations, and high-pressure decision-making have given him an innate understanding of human behavior&mdash;an invaluable asset for any actor. At MFI, these life experiences are being carefully shaped into screen-ready performances through character study and scene work, allowing his natural depth to shine.</p><p>Adding momentum to his journey, CHIRAG is also listed in an upcoming feature film under the banner of Maheshwar Film International Pvt. Ltd., tentatively titled &ldquo;Powerful Love Story.&rdquo; In this film, he will be seen in a lead role as a common family man, a character rooted in realism and emotional sincerity&mdash;perfectly aligned with his lived experiences.</p><p>Opposite CHIRAG will be MFI Achiever ANUSHWA MITRA, a talented actress associated with Maheshwar Film International Pvt. Ltd. Anushwa has worked on projects such as JEEVAN JYOTI, JAGRITI, BIRTHDAY BUMPS, and STOP CRIME &ndash; 2 (episode &ldquo;NAJAYAZ&rdquo;). Known for her dedication, versatility, and strong screen presence, she is regarded as one of MFI&rsquo;s most promising talents. Their collaboration brings together authenticity, freshness, and strong performance potential, making Powerful Love Story a highly anticipated project.</p><p>Today, CHIRAG continues his training with renewed focus and enthusiasm. Acting is no longer a distant dream&mdash;it is a disciplined journey he is fully committed to. Reflecting on his transformation, he says with conviction, &ldquo;Joining MFI was the best decision of my life. It&rsquo;s not just training; it&rsquo;s the first step toward turning my dreams into reality.&rdquo;</p><p>CHIRAG MOKANI&rsquo;s story stands as an inspiration to anyone who has placed dreams on hold due to responsibility. It reminds us that passion never expires&mdash;and when courage meets preparation, new beginnings are inevitable.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><em>Menswear didn&rsquo;t collapse in 2026. It simply stopped asking for permission.</em></p><p>Somewhere between oversized knits, thrifted denim, pearl necklaces worn without irony, and shoes that look like they were chosen for comfort rather than approval, Gen Z men have decided something radical: fashion is not a rulebook, it&rsquo;s a language. And languages evolve when people start speaking honestly.</p><p>This shift didn&rsquo;t announce itself with a manifesto or a runway rebellion. It arrived subtly &mdash; in metro stations, caf&eacute;s, college campuses, startup offices, music gigs, and Instagram feeds that look less curated and more confessional. The result? A generation of men dressing for <em>meaning</em>, not masculinity audits.</p><p>And yes, it&rsquo;s refreshing. It&rsquo;s also messy. Which is exactly the point.</p><p>For decades, menswear operated on a narrow bandwidth. Neutral colours. Safe silhouettes. Minimal deviation. Style advice often boiled down to <em>don&rsquo;t stand out</em> &mdash; unless you&rsquo;re rich enough for it to look intentional.</p><p>Gen Z men, raised on digital multiplicity and algorithmic chaos, find that logic laughable.</p><p>In 2026, the phrase &ldquo;dress like a man&rdquo; sounds less like advice and more like a vague threat. Why should clothing reinforce a gender script when identity itself feels fluid, contextual, and personal?</p><p>This generation grew up watching influencers wear skirts one day and cargo pants the next, artists blur genre boundaries, and creators monetize individuality rather than conformity. Fashion, naturally, followed suit.</p><p>One of the loudest statements Gen Z men are making is also the quietest: they choose comfort unapologetically.</p><p>Loose trousers. Boxy shirts. Soft fabrics. Sneakers that prioritize feet over flex. This isn&rsquo;t about sloppiness &mdash; it&rsquo;s a rejection of performative discomfort once mistaken for discipline or power.</p><p>In a post-pandemic world where work-from-anywhere is normalized and burnout is a shared cultural diagnosis, clothing that restricts movement feels&hellip; outdated. Why suffer for aesthetics when the world is already exhausting?</p><p>Brands have noticed. The global menswear market crossed <strong>$575 billion in 2025</strong>, with comfort-led segments &mdash; athleisure, hybrid tailoring, relaxed silhouettes &mdash; accounting for a growing share of revenue. Not a coincidence. Just capitalism following psychology.</p><p><a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/the-new-rules-of-menswear-influencing-for-2026"><strong>Gen Z men</strong></a> don&rsquo;t chase &ldquo;new.&rdquo; They chase <em>stories</em>.</p><p>Vintage jackets, thrifted denim, hand-me-down watches, customised sneakers &mdash; these items carry narrative weight. They signal individuality, sustainability, and cultural awareness without saying a word.</p><p>Fast fashion still exists, but it no longer impresses by default. Wearing something rare, reused, or reinterpreted now communicates discernment &mdash; a subtle flex that doesn&rsquo;t scream for attention.</p><p>Secondhand fashion platforms and resale culture have grown into a <strong>multi-billion-dollar economy</strong>, with men under 30 driving much of the demand. Not because it&rsquo;s cheaper (sometimes it isn&rsquo;t), but because originality has replaced exclusivity as the new status symbol.</p><p>Beige had a good run. So did black, grey, and navy pretending to be &ldquo;timeless.&rdquo;</p><p>In 2026, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVIj6rJCARw"><strong>Gen Z men</strong></a> are bringing colour back into menswear &mdash; unapologetically and without explanation. Lavender knits. Emerald trousers. Burnt orange jackets. Even pink, still controversial for reasons no one remembers clearly, is worn casually.</p><p>Colour isn&rsquo;t about flamboyance here. It&rsquo;s about emotional expression. Mood dressing. Contextual styling.</p><p>It turns out when masculinity stops being fragile, it stops fearing colour.</p><p>One of the most disruptive shifts is this: Gen Z men don&rsquo;t care what&rsquo;s &ldquo;in&rdquo; this season.</p><p>They care about what feels <em>aligned</em>.</p><p>Instead of following trend cycles dictated by fashion calendars, many curate personal uniforms that evolve slowly. A specific silhouette. A consistent colour palette. Accessories that feel almost ritualistic.</p><p>This makes traditional trend forecasting uncomfortable. How do you sell &ldquo;must-have&rdquo; items to a generation that prefers meaning over momentum?</p><p>Some brands are adapting by offering customization, modular wardrobes, and narrative-driven collections. Others are struggling &mdash; stuck selling relevance to consumers who aren&rsquo;t interested in being told who to be.</p><p>Earrings. Rings. Necklaces. Bags. Scarves. Nail polish.</p><p>None of these register as statements anymore. They&rsquo;re just choices.</p><p>Gen Z men treat accessories as punctuation marks &mdash; subtle ways to finish a sentence, not scream a paragraph. The stigma once attached to &ldquo;feminine&rdquo; items has eroded, replaced by indifference.</p><p>This shift is quietly radical. It decouples adornment from identity anxiety and allows style to function as play rather than proof.</p><p>Social media played a crucial role in democratizing menswear. Anyone with a phone and taste could become a reference point. Algorithms rewarded uniqueness. Communities formed around niches rather than norms.</p><p>But there&rsquo;s a downside.</p><p>The pressure to be <em>visibly original</em> can turn authenticity into performance. When everyone is expressing themselves, self-expression itself risks becoming aestheticized &mdash; another metric to measure worth.</p><p>Some Gen Z men report fatigue from constant visual documentation. Outfit-check culture can slide into self-surveillance. Individuality, when monetized, still obeys algorithms.</p><p>Freedom is real &mdash; but not frictionless.</p><p>Let&rsquo;s be honest: not everyone is applauding.</p><p>Traditionalists accuse Gen Z men of abandoning masculinity. Comment sections still erupt when skirts appear in menswear campaigns. Workplaces haven&rsquo;t fully caught up. Family gatherings remain&hellip; educational.</p><p>Fashion may be changing faster than social acceptance. And that tension is real.</p><p>But every cultural shift begins this way &mdash; not with unanimous approval, but with visible resistance.</p><p>This isn&rsquo;t really about fashion.</p><p>It&rsquo;s about autonomy.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eht9QxOPwh8"><strong>Gen Z men</strong></a> are using clothing to reclaim authorship over identity &mdash; refusing scripts that no longer reflect lived reality. They&rsquo;re rejecting inherited expectations without replacing them with rigid alternatives.</p><p>Fashion has become a low-risk testing ground for higher-stakes questions:<br>
Who am I without tradition?<br>
What do I keep?<br>
What do I discard?</p><p>That&rsquo;s not rebellion for attention. That&rsquo;s evolution.</p><p>Menswear in 2026 isn&rsquo;t cleaner or more polished. It&rsquo;s layered, contradictory, unfinished.</p><p>And that&rsquo;s okay.</p><p>Because the goal was never perfection. It was permission.</p><p>Permission to dress without explanation.<br>
Permission to change.<br>
Permission to be inconsistent.</p><p>If that unsettles some people, good. Growth usually does.</p><p><a href="https://pnndigital.com/category/lifestyle/"><strong>PNN Lifestyle</strong></a></p>

<p>In ordinary, civilian life, society has made a fairly clear judgment without ever holding a formal meeting about it. <a href="https://publichealth.jhu.edu/center-for-gun-violence-solutions/issues/gun-violence-in-the-united-states">Guns</a> are treated as dangerous, uncomfortable, and in need of constant control. Bows, arrows, and swords, meanwhile, live comfortably in museums, sports, hobbies, stories, and backyard conversations about &ldquo;cool historical stuff.&rdquo; This isn&rsquo;t because people are inconsistent. It&rsquo;s because these tools interact very differently with normal life.</p><p>Bows and swords existed alongside daily routines. People farmed, traded, raised families, and argued with their neighbors while these weapons were present. Most of the time, nothing happened. That mattered. Their presence didn&rsquo;t turn everyday frustration into immediate disaster. You could have a bad day and still go home without anyone dying.</p><p>Using a bow takes time and focus. You don&rsquo;t casually fire one while emotional, distracted, or careless. A sword is even less casual. It&rsquo;s heavy, visible, and impractical. You don&rsquo;t bring one into a disagreement unless you are making a very deliberate, very obvious choice. These weapons don&rsquo;t blend into normal life. They interrupt it.</p><p>That interruption acts like a safeguard.</p><p>Guns do the opposite. They fit seamlessly into modern routines. They&rsquo;re compact, fast, and immediately effective. The distance between feeling something and acting on it can be almost nonexistent. That&rsquo;s why society treats them with anxiety. It&rsquo;s not fear of the object&mdash;it&rsquo;s fear of how easily ordinary moments can turn irreversible.</p><p>Think about how we actually behave today. People get tired, angry, impulsive, distracted, depressed, and overwhelmed. That&rsquo;s not a moral failure; it&rsquo;s normal. Tools that tolerate human imperfection tend to coexist better with society. Tools that assume perfect judgment do not.</p><p>This is why bows and swords feel &ldquo;cool.&rdquo; They are demanding. They don&rsquo;t reward impulse. They require preparation, space, and intention. Their risks are visible and slow enough for second thoughts to exist. They give life a chance to de-escalate.</p><p>It&rsquo;s also why we comfortably turn these weapons into sports and hobbies. Archery ranges, fencing clubs, reenactments&mdash;these exist because the danger is manageable. You can participate without turning every mistake into a tragedy. Society trusts these tools because they don&rsquo;t overpower everyday life.</p><p>Guns never earned that trust in the same way. Even in peaceful settings, they change the atmosphere. A normal argument, a bad mental health day, or a moment of carelessness becomes something far more serious simply because a gun is involved. That&rsquo;s not drama; it&rsquo;s pattern recognition.</p><p>People weren&rsquo;t better in the past. They were just as human as we are now. The difference is that their everyday tools didn&rsquo;t let human weakness escalate instantly. Bows and swords stayed on the edge of daily life. Guns sit uncomfortably inside it.</p><p>So when society quietly agrees that guns are bad but bows and swords are cool, it isn&rsquo;t confused. It&rsquo;s practical. One fits ordinary human behaviour. The other expects humans to behave perfectly.</p><p>And society has never worked that way.</p><p><a href="https://pnndigital.com/category/lifestyle/"><strong>PNN Lifestyle</strong></a></p>

<p>For years, homes were treated like showroom checklists. Neutral sofa? Check. Minimal lighting? Check. A marble countertop nobody actually uses? Naturally. Somewhere along the way, living spaces became less about living and more about impressing people who don&rsquo;t pay the EMIs.</p><p>That era is quietly&mdash;and slightly smugly&mdash;ending.</p><p>As 2026 settles in, interior design is undergoing a philosophical pivot. Homes are no longer designed to look expensive; they&rsquo;re designed to <em>feel intentional</em>. Personalised layouts, tactile materials, local craftsmanship, and story-driven d&eacute;cor are replacing cookie-cutter &ldquo;luxury.&rdquo; The modern home is becoming an experience, not a catalogue spread&mdash;and yes, it has opinions.</p><p>This shift isn&rsquo;t accidental. It&rsquo;s cultural, economic, and deeply emotional. And while it sounds aspirational, it&rsquo;s also riddled with contradictions, access gaps, and a few aesthetic crimes disguised as &ldquo;expression.&rdquo;</p><p>Welcome to the age of lived-in luxury.</p><p>The pandemic years forced people into prolonged intimacy with their own spaces. Kitchens doubled as offices. Bedrooms hosted therapy sessions. Living rooms became gyms, cinemas, and existential crisis zones.</p><p>What emerged was a collective realisation: beautifully photographed homes can still feel deeply uncomfortable.</p><p>By late 2024 and through 2025, interior designers began reporting a clear fatigue with sterile minimalism. The beige-on-beige aesthetic&mdash;once marketed as timeless&mdash;started to feel emotionally vacant. By 2026, the backlash is complete. Homes are warming up, cluttering intentionally, and leaning into imperfection.</p><p>Luxury is no longer about silence. It&rsquo;s about resonance.</p><p>Today&rsquo;s interiors read less like mood boards and more like memoirs.</p><p>Instead of designing spaces around trends, homeowners are designing around experiences:</p><p>A dining table built from reclaimed wood sourced from a childhood hometown</p><p>Handwoven rugs tied to regional crafts rather than Instagram palettes</p><p>Open shelves displaying inherited crockery instead of concealed storage</p><p>Reading corners designed for actual reading, not visual symmetry</p><p>This biographical approach is redefining luxury as something earned emotionally, not purchased impulsively. The value lies in <em>meaning density</em>, not price tags.</p><p>Ironically, the more personal the home becomes, the less it looks like anyone else&rsquo;s&mdash;and that&rsquo;s the point.</p><p>If the 2010s worshipped mass-produced perfection, 2026 is flirting shamelessly with artisanal irregularity.</p><p>Handcrafted furniture, limewashed walls, natural stone with visible flaws, and bespoke joinery are enjoying a resurgence. Not because they&rsquo;re &ldquo;rustic,&rdquo; but because they&rsquo;re irreplaceable. In a world of identical algorithms and duplicated feeds, uniqueness has become the ultimate flex.</p><p>Design studios are reporting increased demand for:</p><p>Custom carpentry over modular units</p><p>Locally sourced materials instead of imported finishes</p><p>Multi-functional furniture designed for evolving lifestyles</p><p>Luxury, it turns out, feels better when it has fingerprints.</p><p>Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword slapped onto bamboo blinds. In 2026, it&rsquo;s being measured by durability, lifecycle value, and adaptability.</p><p>Homeowners are asking harder questions:</p><p>Will this age well&mdash;or just age quickly?</p><p>Can this space evolve with family needs?</p><p>Is this material repairable, not just recyclable?</p><p>Energy-efficient layouts, passive cooling strategies, and long-lasting materials are now part of mainstream luxury planning. Not because it&rsquo;s virtuous&mdash;but because constant renovation is exhausting and expensive.</p><p>That said, sustainability still suffers from a branding problem. Many eco-friendly solutions remain priced out of reach, turning &ldquo;conscious living&rdquo; into yet another privilege marketed as moral superiority.</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DT29WIUCB9D/"><strong>Homes</strong></a> are no longer zoned strictly by function. They&rsquo;re zoned by feeling.</p><p>Designers are prioritising experiential flow over rigid room definitions:</p><p>Kitchens that encourage lingering, not rushing</p><p>Bathrooms designed as decompression zones, not utilities</p><p>Living rooms that support conversation, not screen dominance</p><p>Lighting is layered. Acoustics matter. Texture is intentional. Even scent is being considered part of spatial design.</p><p>This is hospitality thinking entering private homes&mdash;and it&rsquo;s changing how people interact within them.</p><p>Here&rsquo;s the uncomfortable truth: not all personalisation is good design.</p><p>The push toward individuality has opened the door to excess. Over-curation, trend-stacking, and forced quirkiness often masquerade as personality. Just because something is &ldquo;you&rdquo; doesn&rsquo;t mean it functions well&mdash;or ages gracefully.</p><p>There&rsquo;s also a widening gap between aspirational design content and lived realities. Social platforms continue to romanticise large, custom-built homes while most urban dwellers navigate compact apartments and rental restrictions.</p><p>Experience-led luxury sounds inclusive. Execution, however, still favours those with time, capital, and creative access.</p><p>Furniture and lifestyle brands have caught on. Instead of selling collections, they&rsquo;re selling narratives.</p><p>We&rsquo;re seeing a shift toward:</p><p>Modular systems that evolve with users</p><p>Customisable finishes rather than fixed designs</p><p>Storytelling-led marketing over feature lists</p><p>Brands are no longer asking, &ldquo;How does this look?&rdquo; They&rsquo;re asking, &ldquo;How does this live?&rdquo;</p><p>The most successful ones understand that modern consumers don&rsquo;t want homes that perform&mdash;they want homes that <em>participate</em>.</p><p>The personalised, experience-led home isn&rsquo;t a fleeting trend. It&rsquo;s a response to burnout, digital saturation, and performative lifestyles.</p><p>As work-life boundaries blur further and social lives fragment across screens, the home becomes the final stable narrative space. It has to hold memory, emotion, rest, and identity&mdash;often all at once.</p><p>Luxury, in this context, isn&rsquo;t about marble anymore. It&rsquo;s about alignment.</p><p>And while not everyone can afford bespoke interiors, the underlying philosophy&mdash;designing with intention rather than imitation&mdash;is increasingly accessible.</p><p>The house of 2026 doesn&rsquo;t whisper wealth.<br>It tells a story.<br>Sometimes a messy one.<br>Usually an honest one.</p><p>And honestly? That&rsquo;s the most luxurious thing it could do.</p><p><a href="https://pnndigital.com/category/lifestyle/"><strong>PNN Lifestyle</strong></a></p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], January 24:</strong> Jaun Elia did not arrive in India quietly. He arrived amplified. Through a microphone that was not his.</p><p>For most Indian readers under thirty-five, Jaun Elia did not come from libraries, serious Urdu study, or the long lineage of Progressive Writers. He came through Kumar Vishwas. That is not an insult. That is a logistical fact. Cultural transmission rarely cares about purity.</p><p>Vishwas didn&rsquo;t reinterpret Jaun. He recited him. He named him. He repeated him on stages that reached places where Urdu poetry had not travelled in decades. Small towns. College auditoriums. Televised mushairas. You can dislike the circuit and still admit its reach. Without that reach, Jaun would have remained what he already was in India: a cult poet with no distribution.</p><p>This is how influence actually works. Not romantically. Practically.</p><p>Once the door was opened, Jaun Elia did the rest himself. He didn&rsquo;t need an explanation. He needed exposure. Indian youth heard the lines and recognised the temperature immediately. Something colder than nostalgia. Sharper than heartbreak. A voice uninterested in emotional hygiene.</p><p>Jaun does not console. He doesn&rsquo;t guide. He doesn&rsquo;t even argue properly. He states. Then retracts. Then mocks his own statement. The effect is destabilising, which is precisely why it works on a generation raised on certainty masquerading as wisdom.</p><p>Take the lines that circulate endlessly now, usually stripped of attribution, floating free of context:</p><p><strong>&ldquo;Main bhi bohat ajeeb hoon, itna ajeeb hoon ke bas<br>Khud ko tabaah kar liya, aur malaal bhi nahin.&rdquo;</strong><br><em>I am strange&mdash;strangely so;<br>I ruined myself completely and felt no regret.</em></p><p>There is no lesson embedded here. No redemption arc. Just self-recognition without apology. That tone is rare in Indian public culture, which prefers either moral victory or emotional recovery. Jaun offers neither.</p><p>His popularity isn&rsquo;t about sadness. That&rsquo;s the surface reading. It&rsquo;s about intellectual disobedience. He refuses to behave the way a poet is expected to behave. He doesn&rsquo;t elevate pain. He interrogates it until it becomes tedious, then admits the tedium.</p><p><strong>&ldquo;Shayad mujhe kisi se mohabbat nahin hui,<br>Lekin yaqeen sab ko dilata raha hoon main.&rdquo;</strong><br><em>Perhaps I never loved anyone at all,<br>Yet I kept convincing everyone that I did.</em></p><p>This is not romance. It&rsquo;s a self-indictment. And it lands hard among young readers exhausted by curated sincerity.</p><p>Jaun&rsquo;s life feeds this voice, but doesn&rsquo;t romanticise it. Born into scholarship, fluent across languages, burdened with intellectual inheritance&mdash;he still failed spectacularly at the basic logistics of living. Marriage collapsed. Politics disappointed him. Ideologies bored him. Migration gave him geography, not belonging. He never turned these failures into mythology. He left them raw, often embarrassing.</p><p>That honesty is abrasive. Indian youth recognise it because it mirrors their own private disillusionment. Not dramatic despair. Quiet erosion.</p><p>What Vishwas did&mdash;again, factually&mdash;is create the first large-scale Indian listening public for <a href="https://www.rekhta.org/poets/jaun-eliya/couplets">Jaun Elia</a>. After that, social media finished the job. Clips became captions. Captions became passwords for emotional literacy. The poems detached from the stage and moved inward.</p><p>Jaun Elia now lives in phone screens at 2 a.m. Not as inspiration. As permission.</p><p>Permission to doubt one&rsquo;s own feelings.<br>Permission to distrust slogans.<br>Permission to say &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know&rdquo; without packaging it as growth.</p><p><strong>&ldquo;Kya kaha ishq jawaan hai?<br>Abhi yeh bachcha hai.&rdquo;</strong><br><em>You say love is young?<br>No&mdash;it&rsquo;s still a child.</em></p><p>This line circulates because it punctures the fantasy without replacing it. That&rsquo;s Jaun&rsquo;s entire method.</p><p>People worry about his effect on young minds. That he normalises despair. This misunderstands both the poet and the audience. Jaun didn&rsquo;t create the disquiet. He gave it language. Sanitising that language would not make the disquiet disappear. It would only make it quieter and lonelier.</p><p>Jaun Elia does not want to heal anyone. He doesn&rsquo;t offer exits. He doesn&rsquo;t respect optimism enough to argue with it.</p><p>And Indian youth&mdash;introduced to him first by a voice they trusted, then claimed him on their own terms&mdash;didn&rsquo;t ask him to.</p><p>They heard him.<br>They stayed.<br>That was enough.</p><p><a href="https://pnndigital.com/category/lifestyle/"><strong>PNN Lifestyle</strong></a></p>

<p><strong>London [United Kingdom], January 24:</strong>&nbsp; Emily Dickinson still feels modern because she never tried to be legible. That&rsquo;s the part people keep circling without saying out loud. She didn&rsquo;t smooth the edges. She didn&rsquo;t explain herself. She didn&rsquo;t care if you &ldquo;got it,&rdquo; and she definitely didn&rsquo;t care if you liked her. <em>&ldquo;Tell all the truth but tell it slant&mdash;&rdquo;</em> wasn&rsquo;t a clever line. It was an operating principle. That alone puts her closer to the present than most writers embalmed by syllabi.</p><p>She wrote like someone who understood the mind is not a neat place. Thoughts interrupt each other. Meaning leaks. Certainty collapses mid-sentence. So she used dashes the way people now use half-finished texts. She broke grammar because grammar lied about how thinking actually works. <em>&ldquo;<a href="https://poets.org/poem/i-felt-funeral-my-brain-280">I felt a Funeral, in my Brain</a>,&rdquo;</em> she wrote, and then let the poem stagger. And the poems didn&rsquo;t resolve. They just&hellip; stopped. Like the feeling does. Like the anxiety does. Like the grief that never quite wraps itself up.</p><p>People love to talk about her isolation. The white dress. The upstairs room. Fine. But that&rsquo;s not why she feels current. Plenty of recluses wrote safely ornamental things. Dickinson wasn&rsquo;t ornamental. She was invasive. Her poems read less like finished objects and more like private notes that accidentally survived. <em>&ldquo;This is my letter to the World / That never wrote to Me&mdash;&rdquo;</em> isn&rsquo;t wistful. It&rsquo;s confrontational. You&rsquo;re not invited. You&rsquo;re overhearing.</p><p>And the subjects. Death, obviously. Not the gothic kind. The administrative kind. The waiting room kind. The quiet, procedural certainty that it&rsquo;s coming and you won&rsquo;t be ready and nobody will explain the paperwork. <em>&ldquo;Because I could not stop for Death &ndash; / He kindly stopped for me&mdash;&rdquo;</em> is polite on the surface, chilling underneath. She wrote about death the way people now Google symptoms at 2 a.m., not to be dramatic, just to confirm the dread has a shape.</p><p>Then there&rsquo;s power. God. Authority. She didn&rsquo;t reject belief so much as interrogate it until it started sweating. Her poems argue with God the way modern people argue with systems&mdash;politely at first, then with growing suspicion, then with a kind of exhausted sarcasm. <em>&ldquo;The Bible is an antique Volume&mdash; / Written by faded Men,&rdquo;</em> she said, and left it there. She didn&rsquo;t need atheism. She needed leverage.</p><p>And love. God, the love poems. They&rsquo;re not sweet. They&rsquo;re not even romantic in the way people expect. They&rsquo;re territorial. Nervy. Sometimes humiliating. <em>&ldquo;Wild nights &ndash; Wild nights!&rdquo;</em> isn&rsquo;t liberation. It&rsquo;s exposure. She writes desire as something that disorganizes you, reduces you, sharpens you into someone you don&rsquo;t fully recognize. No empowerment arc. No self-care ending. Just the admission that wanting someone can rearrange your moral furniture and leave it that way.</p><p>What really keeps her contemporary, though, is her refusal to perform. She didn&rsquo;t publish. Not because she was shy. That&rsquo;s the story people like because it makes her safe. But the poems themselves don&rsquo;t sound shy. They sound controlled. Withholding can be a strategy. Silence can be editorial. <em>&ldquo;Publication &ndash; is the Auction / Of the Mind of Man&mdash;&rdquo;</em> wasn&rsquo;t bitterness. It was policy.</p><p>She understood something we&rsquo;re only pretending to rediscover: that exposure isn&rsquo;t the same thing as connection. That being seen doesn&rsquo;t automatically mean being understood. So she kept the work close. Let the poems exist without explanation. Let them misbehave.</p><p>Modern readers recognize that instinct immediately. We live inside platforms that demand constant articulation. Opinions, identities, brand clarity. Dickinson offers none of it. She doesn&rsquo;t contextualize herself. She doesn&rsquo;t clarify her stance. She doesn&rsquo;t apologize for contradiction. One poem asserts something. Another quietly undoes it. <em>&ldquo;Much Madness is divinest Sense&mdash;&rdquo;</em> and the line never settles. Both stay.</p><p>And the voice. Flatly intense. Calm while saying unsettling things. She&rsquo;ll state an emotional catastrophe like it&rsquo;s a weather update. <em>&ldquo;After great pain, a formal feeling comes&mdash;&rdquo;</em> is basically dissociation before the term existed. That tone&mdash;controlled delivery, maximal content&mdash;is everywhere now. Podcasts. Essays. Therapy-speak with a blade hidden in it. She got there first.</p><p>There&rsquo;s also the matter of scale. Her poems are short. Brutally short. They don&rsquo;t give you room to relax. They hit and leave. Like a notification you didn&rsquo;t want but can&rsquo;t ignore. Like <em>&ldquo;Hope is the thing with feathers&mdash;&rdquo;</em> until you realize it&rsquo;s not reassurance, it&rsquo;s endurance. Like a sentence you reread and feel slightly worse afterward, which is how you know it worked.</p><p>She doesn&rsquo;t teach lessons. She doesn&rsquo;t offer comfort. She doesn&rsquo;t even seem particularly invested in coherence. What she offers is recognition. The uncomfortable kind. The sense that someone else noticed the same quiet terror you did and didn&rsquo;t try to dress it up. <em>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m Nobody! Who are you?&rdquo;</em> isn&rsquo;t cute. It&rsquo;s a refusal.</p><p>That&rsquo;s why she survives every reinvention. Academic. Feminist. Pop-cultural. Minimalist. She outlasts them because she never aligned herself with any program. She just wrote what she saw from where she was, without adjusting for reception.</p><p>Emily Dickinson feels modern because she wrote like someone who knew the future wouldn&rsquo;t be clearer, kinder, or more stable. Just louder. <em>&ldquo;The Soul has Bandaged moments&mdash;&rdquo;</em> and some of them never heal. And she chose not to raise her voice to match the noise.</p><p>The poems are still there. Unresolved. Watching. Waiting for you to catch up&mdash;or not.</p><p><a href="https://pnndigital.com/category/lifestyle/"><strong>PNN Lifestyle</strong></a></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p></p><p>India has yet another moment of pride on the global cinematic stage. Mahamantra &ndash; The Great Chant, the documentary feature directed by acclaimed filmmaker Girish Malik and produced by Clapstem, has officially been included in the Academy Awards&rsquo; Documentary Feature Reminder List, placing it firmly in contention for the upcoming Oscars.<p></p></p><p>The inclusion of Mahamantra on the Academy&rsquo;s reminder list marks a crucial milestone in its Oscar journey. It signals that the film is very much part of the global awards conversation &ndash; one that goes beyond box-office numbers and spectacle, and instead speaks to intellectual depth, spiritual inquiry and universal relevance. For Indian cinema, especially in the documentary feature space, this is a significant and encouraging achievement.<p></p></p><p>With this entry, Mahamantra steps into a rare and prestigious league of Indian documentaries that have brought global recognition to the country, including The Elephant Whisperers and Period. End of Sentence, both of which went on to win Academy Awards. Malik&rsquo;s film now carries that legacy forward, reinforcing India&rsquo;s growing presence in world documentary cinema.<p></p></p><p>Produced under the banner of Clapstem, Mahamantra reflects the company&rsquo;s commitment to meaningful, globally resonant storytelling. The film is not a documentary made to chase headlines, but one born out of deep thought, research and quiet conviction. Even before its Indian release, it has begun to leave a strong impact internationally and within the festival circuit. Recently, Mahamantra was showcased at IFFI Goa 2025 under a Special Focus category, where it received remarkable responses from audiences and media alike. The film was widely described as a powerful, visually immersive and profoundly timely piece.<p></p></p><p><br></p><p>At its heart, Mahamantra &ndash; The Great Chant explores the ancient science of mantras and asks a deeply human question: can age-old wisdom guide us through today&rsquo;s broken, restless and uncertain world? In a time marked by political unrest, wars, emotional imbalance and rising mental health challenges, the film gently bridges ancient knowledge with contemporary scientific thought.<p></p></p><p>Visually captivating and artistically rich, "MAHAMANTRA" weaves together the cosmic dance of Shiva, the resonance of his Damru, and Krishna's diplomatic efforts to avert conflict.<p></p></p><p>The documentary examines the sacred, ancient science of mantras, such as Om Namah Shivaya, through the lenses of physics, consciousness studies and spiritual traditions. Its journey is vast and awe-inspiring &mdash; moving from the Big Bang to the Mahabharata, from World War II to the era of Oppenheimer &mdash; while always remaining rooted in humanity&rsquo;s shared search for meaning and healing.<p></p></p><p>With the brilliance of Maestro Bickram Ghosh&rsquo;s sound, the depth of Shubha Mudgal&rsquo;s voice, and the insight of Padma Shri Dr. Arvind Lal, the film carries a truly global heartbeat, featuring leading scholars, thinkers and participants from around the world and across belief systems.<p></p></p><p>Directed by Girish Malik, a filmmaker known for creating cinema that consistently travels internationally, Mahamantra continues his legacy of storytelling that crosses borders. Malik&rsquo;s work has previously been showcased on prestigious platforms such as the Busan International Film Festival, Netflix and Indian Panorama, and has earned National Awards. With Mahamantra, many consider he has delivered his most ambitious and spiritually resonant work to date.<p></p></p><p>Speaking about the film&rsquo;s Oscar entry, Girish Malik shared: &ldquo;Mahamantra was never made with awards in mind. It was born out of a deep curiosity about sound, consciousness and our collective human journey. To see the film reach the Academy&rsquo;s reminder list is humbling. It tells me that stories rooted in ancient knowledge can still resonate with a global audience today.&rdquo;<p></p></p><p>Set against the backdrop of global unrest and conflict, Mahamantra stands as a quiet yet powerful cinematic experience. It does not shout for attention, but stays with the viewer long after the screen fades to black. Its inclusion on the Academy&rsquo;s reminder list is a subtle acknowledgment of the power of cinema that dares to pause, reflect and ask deeper questions. Regardless of how the Oscar journey unfolds, Mahamantra &ndash; The Great Chant has already secured its place as a rare and meaningful contribution to Indian documentary cinema.<p></p></p><p>It strengthens India&rsquo;s position in the global non-fiction space and reminds us why stories matter &mdash; that cinema, at its best, can become a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern chaos, offering clarity, hope and connection in uncertain times.<p></p></p><p>Mahamantra &ndash; The Great Chant, produced by Clapstem Productions, is slated for its Indian release in&nbsp;<a href="https://mahamantramovie.com/">the coming months.</a><u><p></p></u></p><p><a href="https://mahamantramovie.com/">https://mahamantramovie.com/</a><u><p></p></u></p><p><a href="https://mahamantramovie.com/">https://variety.com/2025/film/news/mahamantra-indian-film-berlin-european-film-market-1236299998/</a><u><p></p></u></p><p><a href="https://mahamantramovie.com/">https://m.imdb.com/news/ni65128518/</a><u><p></p></u></p><p><a href="https://mahamantramovie.com/">https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/girish-maliks-mahamantra-that-premieres-at-iffi-goa-2025-makes-first-oscar-shortlist-13953075.html</a><u><p></p></u></p><p><a href="https://mahamantramovie.com/">https://aninews.in/news/entertainment/out-of-box/iffi-2025-filmmaker-girish-maliks-mahamantra-the-great-chant-docu-drama-set-to-premiere-as-special-showcase20251119190529/</a><u><p></p></u></p><p><a href="https://mahamantramovie.com/">https://www.bol-news.com/2025/11/iffi-2025-l-girish-maliks-mahamantra.html?m=1</a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Movie</strong>: Bihu Attack<br /><strong>Cast</strong>: Dev Menaria, Daisy Shah, Arbaaz Khan, Rahul Dev, Raza Murad, Yukti Kapoor, Amie Misobbah, Hiten Tejwani, Mir Sarwar, Amit Lekhwani<br /><strong>Director</strong>: Suzad Iqbal Khan<br /><strong>Producer</strong>: Prabir Kanta Saha<br /><strong>Duration</strong>: 2 hours 10 minutes<br /><strong>Censor</strong>: UA&nbsp;<br /><strong>Release Date</strong>: 16 January 2026<br /><strong>Rating</strong>: ⭐⭐⭐&frac12;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
<p>Terrorism as a theme is familiar, but Bihu Attack attempts to differentiate itself by rooting the narrative in Assam&rsquo;s cultural identity. Director Suzad Iqbal Khan approaches the subject with restraint, focusing on narrative seriousness rather than cinematic flamboyance.<br /><br /><strong>Story</strong><br /><br />Raj Kunwar (Dev Menaria), a court-martial officer and single father, believes that peace cannot be achieved through force alone. His principles are challenged when intelligence agencies uncover a terror plot targeting the Bihu festival and a visiting Defence Minister.<br /><br />As the operation unfolds, Raj collaborates with the IB Chief (Arbaaz Khan) and security forces to prevent the impending disaster. The story unfolds methodically, with the climax serving as the film&rsquo;s primary highlight.<br /><br /><strong>Performances</strong><br /><br />Dev Menaria delivers a mature performance, balancing duty and emotion. Arbaaz Khan&rsquo;s portrayal adds authority, while Daisy Shah&rsquo;s role remains limited. Supporting actors bring sincerity, though character depth remains uneven.<br /><br /><strong>Direction and Technical Aspects</strong><br /><br />The film maintains a realistic visual language. Pacing issues surface intermittently, but the controlled background score and minimal music suit the narrative&rsquo;s seriousness.<br /><br /><strong>Final Verdict</strong><br /><br />Bihu Attack is a thoughtful attempt that values message over mass appeal. Despite its shortcomings, the film stands as an example of risk-taking cinema&mdash;one that exists because producer Prabir Kanta Saha had the courage to support such a subject.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], January 12:</strong> <strong><a href="https://www.raasraet.com/">Raasra Entertainment</a> </strong>is an Indian film production and distribution company. The company is slowly building its place in Bollywood and regional cinema. Over the years, the company has focused on stories that connect with everyday people, not just on big budgets. With experience in handling films across languages and markets, Raasra Entertainment understands how hard it is for new producers to find the right platform. This understanding is now shaping its next big step. The company is preparing to launch Raasra OTT, an Indian OTT platform designed to support beginner producers and serious artists who need visibility. The Raasra OTT platform will launch in June 2026.</p><p>Raasra OTT is being planned as more than just another streaming app. The main aim is to create space for new and beginner producers who struggle to get their work released. Many good films and web projects never reach audiences due to a lack of support or big names. Raasra OTT wants to change this by offering a fair launch platform. It will also support art-focused producers who believe in content-driven cinema. By focusing on quality storytelling, Raasra OTT hopes to give audiences fresh stories while giving creators a real chance.</p><p>One strong motive behind Raasra OTT is to stream content in every major Indian language. The platform aims to respect India’s language diversity. They want to reach audiences beyond metro cities. By supporting films and shows in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and other regional languages, Raasra OTT aims to ensure stories travel without language barriers. This approach also helps regional creators get national visibility. Over the years, Raasra Entertainment has built industry trust and worked with well-known actors such as Mahesh Babu, Nagarjuna, and Raviteja, reflecting its growing presence across Indian cinema.</p><p>Raasra Entertainment has been active in film projects, demonstrating its growing reach. The company has worked on well-known and successful films in the South Indian film industry. The company has also contributed to projects within Bollywood. Raasra Entertainment has done collaborations with established production partners and experienced artists. This experience has helped the company develop a strong understanding of diverse audience preferences. This experience gives Raasra a strong understanding of global viewers. This exposure is expected to help Raasra OTT attract not only Indian audiences but also viewers abroad who enjoy Indian content.</p><p>The Indian OTT market is crowded, but many platforms focus mainly on known faces and high-budget shows. Raasra OTT aims to fill the gap for honest cinema and new talent. By supporting beginner producers and content-rich projects, the platform can bring fresh energy to digital entertainment. Raasra Entertainment believes that strong stories still matter. With its history in film production, regional cinema, and international distribution, the company is now ready to take a bold digital step. Raasra OTT could become a meaningful space for creators who believe in art and effort.</p><p><strong>For more information, please visit:<a href="https://www.raasraet.com/ott"> https://www.raasraet.com/ott </a> & <a href="https://www.raasraet.com/projects">https://www.raasraet.com/projects</a></strong></p><p><em>If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email protected]</a> to notify us.

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 12: Banani Gupta</strong>&nbsp;is an Indian actress, model, and digital media professional who has marked a notable comeback in Indian cinema after a long professional hiatus. Known for her early work in fashion, television, and regional entertainment, Banani&rsquo;s return reflects both personal growth and a renewed creative vision shaped by experience, education, and leadership in media.</p><p>Born on&nbsp;<strong>19 April 1987</strong>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<strong>Bardhaman (Memari), West Bengal</strong>, Banani Gupta grew up in an environment deeply connected to art and culture. Her grandfather,&nbsp;<strong>Pushkar Gupta</strong>, was a respected theatre artist, and this cultural legacy played a significant role in nurturing her interest in performance from a young age.</p><p>She completed her schooling at&nbsp;<strong>Memari R.S. Balika Vidyalaya</strong>&nbsp;and later earned a degree in&nbsp;<strong>Computer Science</strong>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<strong>Memari College</strong>, affiliated with&nbsp;<strong>Rabindra Bharati University</strong>. Despite her technical education, Banani remained closely aligned with the arts, eventually pursuing and completing a&nbsp;<strong>Ph.D. in Music</strong>, a rare combination that highlights her academic discipline and creative depth.</p><p>Her professional artistic training included acting under the legendary&nbsp;<strong>Soumitra Chatterjee</strong>, along with formal music training from the&nbsp;<strong>SCTC Institute</strong>, under noted mentors such as&nbsp;<strong>Devarati Som</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Jeet Ganguly</strong>. This strong foundation helped her transition seamlessly into the entertainment industry.</p><p>Banani Gupta began her career as a&nbsp;<strong>show-stopper model</strong>, gaining early recognition at a fashion showcase organized by&nbsp;<strong>Aadi Mohini Mohan Kanjilal Ram</strong>. Her elegance, screen presence, and adaptability quickly opened doors in the fashion and commercial modeling space.</p><p>Between&nbsp;<strong>2016 and 2023</strong>, she became a familiar face in catalog shoots, brand campaigns, and regional fashion circuits, particularly within the Gujarati garment industry. Alongside modeling, she also appeared in&nbsp;<strong>Bengali television serials and drama productions</strong>, where she showcased her acting skills and musical sensibilities.</p><p>This phase established Banani as a versatile performer capable of balancing glamour with performance-oriented roles.</p><p>At a pivotal stage in her career, Banani Gupta chose to step away from active acting and modeling. The break was driven by personal responsibilities, academic commitments, and her growing involvement in media entrepreneurship. Rather than distancing herself from creativity, she redirected her focus toward building long-term platforms and strengthening her professional identity beyond the camera.</p><p>During this period, she co-founded the&nbsp;<strong>KMGC Group</strong>, a diversified media organization that operates ventures such as&nbsp;<strong>KMGCOTT</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>KMGC Sports News</strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>KMGC News</strong>. As&nbsp;<strong>Vice President</strong>, Banani played a key role in strategic planning, content development, and brand growth, gaining first-hand experience in the business and operational side of entertainment and media.</p><p>After years of preparation, reflection, and reinvention, Banani Gupta&rsquo;s return to Indian cinema represents more than a resume continuation&mdash;it signals a&nbsp;<strong>creative comeback</strong>&nbsp;backed by maturity and purpose. Armed with academic credentials, industry insight, and leadership experience, she re-entered the entertainment space with a renewed outlook on storytelling and performance.</p><p>Her comeback is characterized by a selective and quality-driven approach, focusing on meaningful roles and projects that align with her artistic values. Unlike her early career, which emphasized modeling and commercial visibility, her return reflects a deeper engagement with character-oriented cinema and culturally grounded narratives.</p><p>Parallel to her cinematic journey, Banani has built a strong digital presence as a&nbsp;<strong>content creator and media voice</strong>. She has been recognized with the&nbsp;<strong>Official Content Creator Award</strong>&nbsp;by platforms like&nbsp;<strong>Moj and Likee</strong>, acknowledging her influence in digital storytelling.</p><p>She has also served as a&nbsp;<strong>Brand Ambassador for the Desi Film &amp; Cultural Festival</strong>, reinforcing her association with Indian culture, cinema, and creative expression across platforms.</p><p>Banani Gupta is married to&nbsp;<strong>Kunal Mondal</strong>, a film producer and businessman. The couple married in&nbsp;<strong>2013</strong>&nbsp;and are parents to a son,&nbsp;<strong>Kush Mondal</strong>. Balancing family life with professional ambition has been a defining aspect of her journey, contributing to the perspective she brings to her comeback.</p><p>Banani Gupta&rsquo;s comeback in Indian cinema after a long break stands as a testament to resilience, reinvention, and artistic integrity. Her journey illustrates that pauses in a career can become periods of growth, enabling artists to return stronger, wiser, and more aligned with their purpose. As she continues her renewed cinematic path, Banani Gupta represents a modern narrative of balance between art, intellect, and leadership in India&rsquo;s evolving entertainment landscape.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], January 15</strong>: Over the last two decades after their celebrated collaboration on the successful thriller Double Deal, ace producer Ashvin Gidwani of AGP World and renowned filmmaker- actor-director Mahesh Manjrekar have reunited for Lovable Rascal, a theatrical production that has already resonated strongly with audiences. The play now returns for an exclusive Republic Day special performance on 26th January 2026 at 7:30 pm at Nehru Centre Auditorium, and on 28th February 2026 at 7:00 pm at Tata Theatre, NCPA, Mumbai.</p><p>&lsquo;Lovable Rascal&rsquo; is adapted from Manjrekar&rsquo;s acclaimed Marathi play &lsquo;Filter Coffee&rsquo;, which has earned praise for blending the complexities of life seamlessly with relatable characters and everyday humour. AGP World&rsquo;s Hinglish adaptation of the play, a layered tale of love, loss, and hidden truths waiting to be uncovered, goes thus Amruta, a widow and artist, leads a quiet life with her house-help and a paying guest until a mysterious presence disrupts her calm. What starts as a subtle intrusion soon sparks an unexpected connection, reigniting her art and long-buried emotions. But beneath the surface, loyalties blur and intentions shift.</p><p>Speaking about the collaboration, Gidwani expresses, &ldquo;Mahesh is one of the finest storytellers in Indian cinema and theatre. I have seen him at work over the years and his understanding of the medium is fantastic. After &lsquo;Double Deal&rsquo;, we had often spoken about working together again, and &lsquo;Lovable Rascal&rsquo; felt like the perfect project. It&rsquo;s witty, heartwarming, and grounded in situations everyone can relate to. The response to the first two shows has been immensely encouraging. At AGP World, we&rsquo;re committed to delivering meaningful yet entertaining theatre, and this play captures that essence.&rdquo;</p><p>Manjrekar, whose repertoire spans across Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu cinema, speaks warmly about his long-standing association with Ashvin Gidwani. &ldquo;Working with Ashvin again after &lsquo;Double Deal&rsquo; feels like reconnecting with an old rhythm,&rdquo; he shares. &ldquo;Our creative synergy has evolved from just collaborating to truly co-creating, where ideas flow freely and every character, every scene, is crafted with mutual trust,&rdquo; he shares.</p><p><img src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMjAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEyMDAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojZmZmZmZmO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==" alt="AGP World and Mahesh Manjrekar Reunite with Acclaimed Play &lsquo;Lovable Rascal&rsquo; -PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>Having experienced many reinventions through his journey as an actor, writer, and director, Manjrekar sees &lsquo;Lovable Rascal&rsquo; as yet another turning point. For him, this production is not just an adaptation but a reimagining of how he approaches theatre. &ldquo;With &lsquo;Lovable Rascal&rsquo;, I wanted to retain the heart of &lsquo;Filter Coffee&rsquo; while making it accessible and engaging for an English-speaking audience. &lsquo;Lovable Rascal&rsquo; marks a reinvention in how I approach theatre itself, translating a deeply rooted Marathi sensibility into a language and style that connects globally, without losing its emotional core. It&rsquo;s a challenge, but also an opportunity to grow, to experiment, and to bridge cultures through the universal language of storytelling. Sharing this story on Republic Day adds a meaningful layer to the experience.&rdquo;</p><p>The cast of the play includes popular VJ Anusha Dandekar, celebrated for her work as an MTV VJ, television host, and performer across film and music, adding charm, energy, and modern sensibility to the stage; and Sumedh Mudgalkar, of &lsquo;RadhaKrishn&rsquo; fame, a trained dancer who began his journey on dance reality shows before rising to prominence as an actor, bringing versatility and a layered emotional range to his role. They are joined by Jayesh Thakkar, Kuhu Singh, and Karan Bendre, combining seasoned performers with fresh talent in a dynamic ensemble.</p><p>For AGP World, Lovable Rascal continues its tradition of presenting impactful and high-quality theatre under Ashvin Gidwani&rsquo;s leadership. With landmark productions such as Barff, Devdas &ndash; The Musical, The Scent of a Man, Sai The Musical, and Blame It on Bollywood, the company has consistently raised the bar for Indian theatre. Conceived over five years of creative dialogue, Lovable Rascal stands as a testament to AGP World&rsquo;s commitment to meaningful storytelling, premium production values, and theatre that resonates across audiences and cultures.</p><p>Catch the exclusive performance of AGP World&rsquo;s Lovable Rascal on 26th January 2026 at 7:30 pm, at Nehru Centre Auditorium, Worli, Mumbai, and on 28th&nbsp;February 2026 at 7:00 pm at Tata Theatre, NCPA.</p><p>Tickets available on BookMyShow.</p><p>For further enquiries, block bookings or information kindly contact&nbsp;<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#2e4b405f5b475c474b5d6e4f495e59415c424a004d4143">[email&nbsp;protected].</a></p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<p><b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Prateek Singh, Co-Founder &amp; CEO, Brevistay.</b></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], January 16: </strong>The travel and hospitality industry is undergoing one of its most significant shifts in decades. While overnight hotel stays have long been the default,&nbsp;<strong>modern travel behaviour</strong>&nbsp;is increasingly shaped by&nbsp;<strong>flexibility, immediacy, and value.</strong>&nbsp;Today&rsquo;s traveller, whether a corporate professional, digital nomad, or short-haul commuter, no longer wants to pay for unused hours. They want accommodation that adapts to their schedules, not the other way around.</p><p>This evolving mindset is giving rise to&nbsp;<strong>hour-based stays</strong>, also known as&nbsp;<strong>microstays</strong>, an alternative hospitality model that allows travellers to book hotel rooms for a few hours instead of an entire night. What started as a niche concept globally has now found relevance in India&rsquo;s fast-moving, experience-driven travel ecosystem.</p><p>At Brevistay, this shift was not identified as a trend but as a clear market inefficiency. Traditional hotel models were built around fixed check-in and check-out times, often misaligned with real travel needs. Whether it&rsquo;s a business traveller with a long layover, professionals attending interviews or meetings, families on road trips, or remote workers seeking a short-term workspace, the demand for flexible, time-based accommodation was evident but underserved.</p><p>India&rsquo;s travel market, especially among Gen Z and millennial travellers, is increasingly spontaneous.&nbsp;<strong>A growing percentage of bookings</strong>&nbsp;now happen at&nbsp;<strong>short notice</strong>, sometimes just hours before arrival. This behaviour aligns seamlessly with microstays, offering&nbsp;<strong>affordability</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>convenience</strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>relevance</strong>&nbsp;without the cost burden of a full-day booking. Flexibility is no longer a luxury; it is becoming an expectation.</p><p>From a hotelier&rsquo;s perspective, hour-based stays unlock significant untapped value. Across India, daytime occupancy remains a challenge, with many hotels seeing over half their inventory remain vacant during working hours. Microstays allow hotels to monetise these low-utilisation periods, improve overall occupancy, and optimise yield, often without impacting overnight bookings. It&rsquo;s a smarter use of existing infrastructure, driven by demand-based pricing and operational agility.</p><p>Technology has been the key enabler of this transformation. Real-time booking platforms, seamless digital payments, dynamic pricing models, and deep integrations with hotel property management systems have made flexible stays viable at scale. API-driven inventory connectivity now allows hotels to list rooms in time slots rather than fixed nights, opening access to entirely new demand segments. This blend of technology and strategy is central to how Brevistay operates and scales across markets.</p><p>Beyond economics and efficiency, the cultural perception of hotels is also changing. Hotels are no longer viewed solely as places to sleep. They are becoming multifunctional spaces &ndash; for work, rest, transition, and productivity. Hour-based stays cater to these evolving use cases, offering hotels the opportunity to reposition themselves as flexible lifestyle enablers rather than static accommodation providers.</p><p>What&rsquo;s driving this shift is a broader rethinking of hospitality itself, from selling space to selling time. This&nbsp;<strong>pay-for-time&nbsp;</strong>model reflects how consumers already interact with mobility, entertainment, and digital services. Hospitality is now following suit.</p><p>The future of travel is undoubtedly flexible. As consumer expectations continue to evolve, hospitality brands must rethink legacy models, invest in digital infrastructure, and adopt customer-centric operating frameworks.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], January 17: </strong>In a traditional Indian homes bathing was more than cleansing because they were based on nature and nurturing. Boiled neem water to cleanse the skin, freshly made ubtan to exfoliate and brighten, cooling herbs to cool in the heat, floral waters to calm and refresh, it was all purposeful and all related to seasons and skin requirements. These were not luxuries; they were family traditions.</p><p>However, modern metro lives, with their rush, lack of space, time constraints, and more, have rendered traditional rituals hard to sustain. Spraying powders and drains, splattering pastes on tiles, and the necessity to wash dishes after taking a bath make nourishing practices a burden. This usually compels the urban consumers to make a decision between good ingredients and everyday convenience.</p><p>Visit Tattv&rsquo;s website at &ndash; <a href="https://www.tattv.care/">https://www.tattv.care/</a></p><p><img src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/2-16.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>tattv fills this gap by re-creating the old wisdom of bathing into contemporary, daily practical rituals. Its pH-balanced bathing bars are made by hand with natural and elemental ingredients, and their benefits of the past are retained without the inconvenience that was originally linked to them.</p><p><strong>Niraj Jain, Founder, <a href="https://www.tattv.care/">tattv</a>, said:</strong></p><p><em>&ldquo;tattv was born from a very simple observation, our traditional bathing wisdom was never flawed, it just no longer fit the way we live today. We wanted to preserve the integrity of those ingredients and rituals, while redesigning them for modern homes, modern schedules, and modern expectations. What makes us happiest is seeing customers tell us that their skin feels healthier, their bathrooms feel calmer, and their daily routine feels more intentional. That tells us we&rsquo;ve achieved what we set out to do, that is creating a brand that respects tradition, values simplicity, and delivers thoughtful, effective care without compromise.&rdquo;</em></p><p>A philosophy of the brand is based on the simplicity, purpose, and respect, towards the skin, towards space, towards conscious living. All bathing bars are sulphate-free, paraben-free, harsh-detergents-free, and each has a specific benefit, such as deep cleansing and oil control, hydration and soothing nourishment.</p><p>Skin pH balance is central to tattv&rsquo;s formulation approach. Natural skin has a pH of slightly acidic and most conventional soaps disturb this pH, resulting in skin drying, irritation, and sensitivity. tattv bars are created to clean without disrupting the natural oils and promote long-term skin health over short-term surface outcomes.</p><p>tattv is also aware of the requirements of the modern bathrooms. The brand replaces powders on the floor, residue in the drain, and the use of bowls or additional clean-up since traditional ingredients are turned into solid bars, which makes it possible to perform self-care rituals even in small areas.</p><p>In addition to their skincare properties, tattv bathing bars naturally cleanse bathrooms by using herbs and botanicals to counter-odorize the air-and this is the added advantage of body care and air care without the use of artificial fresheners.</p><p>tattv is not one size fits all: the products are tailored to various skin types, seasons, and even sensory inclinations. With elemental inspirations, Tattv offers products in only 5 categories &ndash; Agni, Jal, Vayu, Akasa and Prithvi. The products are formulated using ingredients from these categories only. E.g &ndash; Agni category has Activated Charcoal Bathing bar because Charcoal is derived from Agni. As these 5 tattv&rsquo;s are linked to Zodiac signs, the variations boast personality characteristics and preferences as customers love selecting the products according to their signs, thus portraying an element of self-expression instead of only astrological effectiveness.</p><p>The tattv experience is embedded with transparency and accountability. All bathing bars are packed in reusable tin boxes and are covered in compostable corn-based plastic. Synthetic accessories are substituted by natural jute loofahs, and a pH test kit is provided with each bar to allow the users to check the skin-friendly formulation themselves, which strengthens the trust and education and the use of the product.</p><p>The mission of the brand appeals to conscious consumers, in particular, busy people, families, and conscious urban residents who desire meaningful wellness but are not complicated by it. tattv is a brand that promotes self-care as a refined, efficient, and grounded ritual that can easily fit into modern lifestyles.</p><p>Thoughtfully designed, deliberate ingredient-integrity, and a holistic user experience, unboxing to daily use, tattv is transforming Indian bathing rituals for the modern metro cities and making meaningful tradition relevant and lived.</p><p>Tradition, refined. Ritual, transformed. Daily care, redefined.</p><p><strong>About Niraj Jain:</strong><br>
Niraj Jain is the CEO &amp; Founder of <a href="https://www.tattv.care/">Tattv</a>, a premium, purpose-led bathing &amp; personal care brand under One Zero Zero Eight Company (formerly OZZEC Products Pvt.

<p>The GRAMMY nomination
of Sounds of Kumbha in the Best Global Music Album category at the 68th GRAMMY
Awards 2026 marks a defining moment for Indian music. Central to the album&rsquo;s
musical direction is composer and producer Raghav Mehta, whose work plays a significant
role in shaping how India&rsquo;s spiritual sound traditions are translated for a
global listening context.<p></p></p><p>Rather than being
created with awards in mind, Sounds of Kumbha was conceived as a sonic
documentation of the Mahakumbha, one of the largest spiritual gatherings in the
world. The album blends on-ground field recordings, ancient chants,
contemporary world music, and immersive binaural sound design to capture the
scale, emotion, and energy of the event.<p></p></p><p>For Raghav, the project
was about translating something deeply ancient into a language the global
listener could feel. Working closely with creative lead Siddhant Bhatia, and
alongside producers such as Jim Kimo West, Ron Korb, Charu Suri, Devraj Sanyal,
and Madi Das, the album brought together over fifty artists from across
cultures. The focus was on collaboration without hierarchy, allowing diverse
musical voices to coexist while staying rooted in shared intent.<p></p></p><p>Produced in partnership
with the Government of Uttar Pradesh, Network18, HistoryTV18, and Universal
Music Group, the album has been widely viewed as a form of cultural diplomacy,
offering a lived experience of India&rsquo;s spiritual heritage rather than
explaining it.</p><p>For Raghav, the
recognition signals a broader shift in the global listening landscape. Indian
music, he believes, no longer needs to dilute or reframe its cultural roots to
be understood internationally. The nomination affirms that work grounded in
authenticity and craft can travel widely on its own terms. Shaped by experience
across Indian cinema, advertising, and international collaborations, his
practice continues to explore how traditional sound worlds can coexist
seamlessly with contemporary production languages, an approach that
increasingly defines the direction of his work.<p></p></p><p>As Sounds of Kumbha
continues to gain international attention, the moment signals not just a
milestone for one album, but a growing global readiness to engage with Indian
music as an equal and confident voice in the world&rsquo;s cultural conversation.<p></p></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/kY5CQVdT710?si=-_FRLeby9D2hSRC9">https://youtu.be/kY5CQVdT710?si=-_FRLeby9D2hSRC9</a>

It is not just a film, but a reflection of Assam&rsquo;s reality, its culture, and its people&rsquo;s love for the nation.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When it comes to sheer comic chemistry, Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma once again prove why they remain one of Bollywood&rsquo;s most loved comedy pairings. In Rahu Ketu, the duo delivers consistently hilarious, rhythm-perfect performances, feeding off each other&rsquo;s timing, expressions and spontaneity. Their effortless banter, physical comedy and emotional ease form the beating heart of the film, making it an engaging watch even when the narrative momentarily wanders. This is classic Bollywood buddy comedy&mdash;energised, playful and thoroughly entertaining.</p>
<p><br />Rahu Ketu chooses a lighter, smarter route. Rooted in humour, friendship and a mischievous mythological twist, the film offers a feel-good experience that doesn&rsquo;t take itself too seriously, yet knows exactly what it wants to be.<br /><br /><strong>Story</strong><br /><br />Set in a small town in Himachal Pradesh, the story opens with struggling writer Churu Lal Sharma (Manu Rishi Chadha), creatively blocked and desperate for a breakthrough. The plot takes an intriguing turn with the arrival of the enigmatic Phuphaji (Piyush Mishra), who possesses a magical book&mdash;one that can turn written words into reality.<br />From this book emerge Rahu and Ketu, two odd yet oddly lovable characters whose presence seems to bring chaos wherever they go. Declared unlucky by the townspeople, the duo themselves remain clueless about the cosmic reason behind their misfortune. Running alongside is Meenu&rsquo;s (Shalini Pandey) story&mdash;secretly entangled with a dangerous local criminal, Mordekhai (Chunky Pandey)&mdash;adding both tension and comic friction to the narrative.</p>
<p><br />The film smartly balances fantasy with grounded humour, allowing the magic to enhance the storytelling without overwhelming it.<br /><br /><strong>Performances</strong><br />The film belongs squarely to Varun Sharma and Pulkit Samrat. Varun&rsquo;s Rahu is loud, expressive and irresistibly funny, while Pulkit&rsquo;s Ketu brings restraint, timing and situational humour to the table. Together, they elevate even the simplest scenes into laugh-worthy moments.<br /><br /></p>
<p>Shalini Pandey impresses with a confident, sharp-edged performance, bringing emotional stability amid the madness. Piyush Mishra lends gravitas and intrigue to Phuphaji, grounding the film&rsquo;s fantastical elements. Chunky Pandey clearly enjoys his role, while Amit Sial, Manu Rishi Chadha and Sumit Gulati add depth and flavour to the ensemble.<br /><br /><strong>Direction</strong><br />The film&rsquo;s humour flows largely from situations rather than forced punchlines, keeping the narrative unpredictable and fresh. The pacing is mostly tight, though the runtime could have benefited from a slightly crisper edit. Visually, Himachal Pradesh is captured in an earthy, lived-in manner, becoming part of the story rather than a postcard backdrop.<br />The music remains upbeat and well-placed, enhancing the mood without interrupting the film&rsquo;s flow.<br /><br /><strong>Final Verdict</strong><br />Rahu Ketu is a classic Bollywood entertainer with a modern sensibility&mdash;powered by crackling chemistry, playful mythology and strong ensemble performances. While not without minor flaws, the film delivers where it matters most: laughs, warmth and entertainment. Thanks to the Pulkit&ndash;Varun pairing firing on all cylinders, Rahu Ketu emerges as a pleasant surprise and a solid theatrical watch.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Film Review:</strong> The Raja Saab<br /><strong>Director</strong>: Maruthi Dasari<br /><strong>Producer</strong>: T. G. Vishwa Prasad<br /><strong>Cast </strong>: Prabhas, Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Riddhi Kumar, Zarina Wahab, Samuthirakani<br /><strong>Production House</strong>: People Media Factory<br /><strong>Genre</strong>: Horror&ndash;Fantasy&ndash;Comedy<br /><strong>Duration</strong>: 3 Hours 06 Minutes<br /><strong>Censor Certificate:</strong> U/A<br /><strong>Release Date:</strong> 09 January 2026<br /><strong>Rating</strong>: ⭐⭐⭐</p>
<h2><strong>Story</strong></h2>
<p>Raju (Prabhas) is a restless, impulsive, and free-spirited young man whose emotional world centers on his grandmother, Gangadevi&mdash;affectionately called Gangamma (Zarina Wahab). A once-feared and revered zamindar, Gangadevi now lives in destitution, battling mental illness, convinced that her family&rsquo;s ruin began when a sacred necklace belonging to the village deity was stolen. Her husband, Kanakraju (Sanjay Dutt), vanished decades ago while pursuing the thief, leaving behind a legacy of mystery, loss, and myth.</p>
<p>When doctors suggest that reuniting her with Kanakraju might aid her recovery, Raju embarks on a deeply personal search for his missing grandfather. The quest pulls him to Hyderabad, where past and present collide, and emotional fractures, moral crossroads, and hidden family truths begin to unravel. His childhood confidante Anitha (Riddhi Kumar) and the enigmatic Bhairavi (Malavika Mohanan) soon become key pieces in a puzzle that is far darker&mdash;and stranger&mdash;than he imagined.</p>
<p>The turning point arrives when Raju discovers a terrifying truth about Kanakraju, one that shifts the mission from rescue to reckoning. The journey crescendos into a cursed forest palace, where the battle for truth becomes a battle of bloodline&mdash;an intimate family conflict wrapped in towering supernatural stakes.</p>
<h2>Performances</h2>
<p>Prabhas is the festival and the flame&mdash;magnetic in silence, monumental in confrontation. Sanjay Dutt&rsquo;s flashback arc is haunting, layered, and unforgettable&mdash;his descent more chilling than any curse. Zarina Wahab&rsquo;s performance carries aching sincerity, giving the film its emotional pulse. Boman Irani provides structural brilliance as the pivot where myth meets logic. The ensemble holds steady, supporting the cinematic architecture.</p>
<h2>Direction &amp; Storytelling</h2>
<p>Maruthi Dasari directs like a man composing a storm. Horror, humor, fantasy, and heartbreak co-exist without chaos. The interval is a tonal pivot. The second half rises into confrontation. The climax delivers payoff.</p>
<h2>Technical &amp; Craft</h2>
<p>International-grade VFX peaks in the climax. Cultural texture peaks in the storytelling. Big-screen payoff peaks in audience impact.</p>
<h2>Final Take</h2>
<p>A confident horror-fantasy layered with emotional depth and anchored by a compelling hero-villain dynamic. The face-off between Prabhas and Sanjay Dutt fuels the film&rsquo;s strongest energy, giving weight to both conflict and payoff. The narrative appeals equally to family audiences and genre lovers, striking a rare balance between supernatural spectacle and heartfelt storytelling. With controlled craft across departments and immersive atmosphere, The Raja Saab emerges as a composed, emotionally grounded genre film that builds patiently and delivers decisively&mdash;making it a steady-run theatrical experience best enjoyed on the big screen, with strong repeat-watch value and broad festive appeal.</p>
<p>A film made for crowds, curses, catharsis, and celebrations&mdash;The Raja Saab stays honest to its heart even when the shadows grow taller than the palace. A festive supernatural ride that invites repeat footfalls and delivers emotional recall.</p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], December 29:</strong> Are you a fan of Punjabi mystery and comedy films? Then, check out the recent punjabi movie &nbsp;&ldquo;Godday Godday Chaa 2&rdquo; on ZEE5. This movie is based on a Punjabi village where weddings are the most important activities.</p><p>Everyone loves the way it indicates Punjabi culture &ndash; with loud tracks, tasty food, bright clothes, and circle of relatives fun. Many people call it one of the best Punjabi movies lately. Scroll down to find more about the Godday Godday Chaa 2 movie via this instructive post.</p><p>Godday Godday Chaa 2 is a must watch among&nbsp;<a href="https://www.zee5.com/movies">movies on ZEE5</a>&nbsp;which is a sequel to the last part. That means it is the second part after the first movie called Godday Godday Chaa, which was released in 2023. The first one received a National Award for Best Punjabi Film. In the original story, women inside the village fought a vintage rule that said best guys may want to be a part of the wedding referred to as &ldquo;baraat.&rdquo; Women had to stay home. The brave women changed that tradition and won the right to go with the men.</p><p>In Godday Godday Chaa 2, the story picks up from there. Now, the women have the right to join weddings, but they want more. They decided to take full charge of all wedding activities, which were always handled by men. Things like planning the events, leading the dances, deciding the rituals, and running the show &ndash; the women say, &ldquo;Now it&rsquo;s our time!&rdquo; The men feel pushed aside and unhappy. They make funny plans to get back control. The women are smart and come up with even better ideas to stop them. This creates a big, playful war between men and women. There are plenty of smart tricks, blend-ups, and hilarious conditions. Everyone runs round trying to win, however it all leads to chaos and non-forestall laughs.</p><p>The cast is amazing and brings the village to life. Ammy Virk performs one of the most important roles. He is a popular singer and actor recognized for his funny expressions and attraction. Tania is the lead actress; she performs as a strong and witty lady who leads the change.</p><p>Other actors include Gitaj Bindrakhia, Gurjazz, Nikeet Dhillon. Senior actors like Nirmal Rishi and Gurpreet Bhangu play village elders &ndash; they may be loved for his or her natural appearance and funny dialogues. There also are Rupinder Rupi, Sardar Sohi, Seema Kaushal, Mintu Kapa, and Amrit Amby. Everyone praises the entire crew, mainly the girls actors, for making the characters feel actual.</p><p>The track is one of the brilliant parts! The songs are energetic, catchy and best for weddings. There are bhangra dances, happy beats, and lyrics that make you smile. People say the songs fit the tale flawlessly and make you need to stand up and dance. The history music provides comedy and emotional moments.</p><p>It suggests that preventing energy isn&rsquo;t good. Instead, women and men should admire each other and work collectively. Equality means sharing pleasure, not one aspect winning over the alternative. The subject matter is ladies&rsquo; empowerment, but it&rsquo;s far shown in a mild and amusing way, without being too extreme or preachy. It also celebrates changing old traditions while retaining the good components of Punjabi subculture alive. Families are really like this movie because it has no horrible language or scenes, clean humor, and teaches values.</p><p>The director is Vijay Kumar Arora, who made the first part too. The author is Jagdeep Sidhu, who is famous for growing entertaining tales with heart. The movie is produced by Zee Studios and VH Entertainment. It is 2 hours long, ideal for watching with family.</p><p>The movie released in theaters this year on October 21 close to Diwali. This movie was released in cinemas and after a super run in theaters, it began streaming on ZEE5 from December 19. People can watch it now on the same platform.</p><p>Reviews are very positive. The comedy feels real, like everyday village life. It is a great family watch &ndash; relaxing, happy, and with a good lesson. Many call it a &ldquo;must-watch&rdquo; for Punjabi movie lovers.</p><p>Do you really like to stream Punjabi movies about massive weddings, funny gender battles, lively dances, and glad endings? Godday Godday Chaa 2 is for you. Start with the first movie if you have not seen it, then watch this sequel. You will giggle plenty, sense warm inside, and love the Punjabi spirit!</p><p><em>If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], December 25</strong>: Christmas in Calcutta did not arrive as a fragile import. It landed like a citywide performance and refused to stay indoors.</p><p>By the late eighteenth century, Calcutta had already detached Christmas from its English stiffness. Colonial commentators noticed it early. An 1894 article in <em>The Saturday Review</em> openly complained that English Christmas traditions had become formulaic, while Calcutta had turned the festival into something freer, louder, and frankly more enjoyable.</p><p>By then, the city was already calling it Burrah Din. The Big Day. No apology needed.</p><p>This was not mimicry. It was an adaptation. Calcutta did not chase snowflakes or fireplaces. It worked with light, food, music, and streets. The result was a ritual that made sense to a tropical port city with global connections and zero patience for narrow definitions of celebration.</p><p>The idea that Christmas in Calcutta began as a small colonial club event is simply wrong.</p><p>Records show large-scale celebrations as early as 1780. James Augustus Hickey, never one to exaggerate subtly, documented Christmas Day that year as a full ceremonial affair. Governor-General Warren Hastings hosted an official breakfast, followed by what Hickey described as an extravagant dinner attended by elite guests. Artillery salutes thundered from Lal Dighi. The evening ended with music, illumination, and a ball.</p><p>This was not a quiet holiday. It was a civic theatre.</p><p>Eliza Fay&rsquo;s letters from the same period provide sensory details. Large plantain trees stood at entrances. Gates were decorated with flowers. Fish and fruit arrived in abundance. Native servers handled logistics. Christmas had already crossed racial and cultural lines.</p><p>By the mid-nineteenth century, decorations blended British custom with Indian symbolism. Plantain leaves signalled abundance. Marigolds appeared alongside laurel wreaths. Lamps replaced candles. Gordon-Cumming later observed that locals embraced Christmas aesthetics with enthusiasm because feasting was a universal language.</p><p>Calcutta did not dilute Christmas. It expanded it.</p><p>If religion introduced Christmas, commerce made it unstoppable.</p><p>By the 1850s, newspapers were already running Christmas Eve advertisements. The <em>Bengal Hurkaru</em> promoted Stilton cheese and turkey at the Great Eastern Hotel. Luxury stores stocked imported foods, gifts, and decorations. Governors-General chose Calcutta as their winter base precisely because the city knew how to host.</p><p>By the 1880s, Christmas shopping had become a seasonal economy. <em>The Statesman</em> described illuminated streets, packed luxury stores, and shoppers who stayed out until dawn. New Market emerged as a central node, bringing together Jewish and Armenian confectioners and Indian crowds.</p><p>This was not elite-only consumption. It was urban participation.</p><p>Plum cakes, brandy-soaked puddings, pastries, and sweets became heirlooms. Recipes passed through families and communities. Christmas food in Calcutta became a memory you could taste.</p><p>Calcutta professionalised Christmas before most cities even tried.</p><p>Hotels like the Great Eastern, Grand Hotel, Firpo&rsquo;s, Peliti, and Bristol ran elaborate Christmas buffets and entertainment weeks. European clubs organised lunches, dinners, and garden parties that doubled as social calendars.</p><p>The Calcutta Club, founded in 1907, became a powerful venue. Viceroys dined there. Princes attended lunches. Garden parties followed Christmas dinners. Even after the capital moved in 1911, the city did not lose its Christmas gravity.</p><p>Entertainment scaled with confidence. Circuses arrived by December. Wrestling exhibitions, theatre shows, magic acts, river cruises, polo matches, horse races, and cricket games filled the season. Royal Circus shows ran from mid-December with nearly a hundred animals by the 1920s.</p><p>Christmas was no longer a date. It was a season.</p><p>One of Calcutta&rsquo;s most underestimated contributions to Christmas was its intellectual and visual culture.</p><p>Christmas cards printed between 1908 and 1912 by Thacker, Spink &amp; Co featured humour, local scenes, and irreverent illustrations. They were not pious images of European winters. They were distinctly Calcutta creations. The anonymous artist signing as Geo. D understood the assignment.</p><p>Then came spectacle baking. Peliti produced monumental cakes, including replicas of Delhi monuments. In 1889, a twelve-foot Eiffel Tower cake stunned the city weeks before Christmas Eve. This was culinary confidence.</p><p>After World War I, Christmas gifts reflected modernity. Gramophones, phonographs, and music boxes dominated wish lists. Department stores competed aggressively with discounts and glossy brochures.</p><p>Christmas in Calcutta was always contemporary. It evolved with technology, taste, and aspiration.</p><p>The empire left. Christmas stayed.</p><p>By the late 1950s, Christmas in Calcutta had become a civic tradition rather than a colonial residue. Historian accounts describe it as a cultural institution with broad participation.</p><p>Anglo-Indians played a visible role, sustaining architecture, schools, clubs, and charitable events. But they were not alone. Muslims supplied bakarkhanis. Jewish bakeries anchored dessert culture. Chinese kitchens in Tangra became late-night magnets.</p><p>The Bengali public embraced the festival fully. The name Boro Din says everything. It was never about theology alone. It was about scale, warmth, and shared time.</p><p>Bow Barracks turned into a street-level spectacle. New Market became a human tide. Tangra steamed with food and noise. Christmas moved from halls to sidewalks.</p><p>Christmas in Calcutta survives because it functions as civic glue.</p><p>It stages neighbourhood solidarity. It triggers diasporic returns. It activates memory without freezing it. It allows multiple communities to participate without forcing uniformity.</p><p>This is not nostalgia tourism. It is a living practice.</p><p>Schools host concerts&mdash;clubs host lunches. Charitable organisations stay busy through December. Institutions like Loreto Entally and the All India Anglo-Indian Association continue to show visible leadership.</p><p>The city shows up because Christmas here is not borrowed. It is owned.</p><p>Calcutta did not inherit Christmas passively. It rebuilt it publicly, commercially, and emotionally. That is why the lights still go up. That is why people still call it the Big Day. That is why the streets still fill.</p><p>Cities do not keep traditions alive by accident. They do it by making them useful. Calcutta figured that out over a century ago.</p><p>Kolkata Christmas Festival &ndash; West Bengal Tourism<br>

<p><strong>Churu (Rajasthan) [India], December 27:&nbsp;</strong>In an era where the Indian music industry is increasingly defined by innovation and fresh voices, Deepak Aggarwal stands out as a symbol of perseverance, purpose, and rooted ambition. A music producer who began his journey in Bhaleri, a small village in Rajasthan&rsquo;s Churu district, Deepak&rsquo;s rise reflects the quiet revolution underway in India&rsquo;s creative landscape, where talent from beyond metropolitan centres is shaping the sound of Bollywood.</p><p>Born on July 25, 1997, into a modest family, Deepak Aggarwal grew up amid the everyday realities that often limit artistic aspiration. Yet, from an early age, music became his constant companion. Melodies and rhythms offered him a sense of direction and possibility, even as resources were limited and opportunities seemed distant. While many dreams from small towns remain unspoken, Deepak nurtured his quietly, believing that music could bridge the distance between a village courtyard and a national stage.</p><p>That belief turned into action in 2021, when Deepak made the decisive move to enter the music industry. It was a bold step that required courage, discipline, and a willingness to face uncertainty. With no shortcuts or inherited advantages, he relied on relentless hard work and an unshakeable faith in his craft. In doing so, he became the first music and audio producer from his village, a milestone that would later inspire others to consider creative careers once thought unattainable.</p><p>Deepak&rsquo;s journey has been defined as much by struggle as by growth. The path to Bollywood demanded long hours, technical mastery, and the patience to learn through trial and error. Each project became a classroom, each challenge an opportunity to refine his sound. Over time, his dedication translated into credibility, enabling him to collaborate with diverse artists and contribute meaningfully to professional productions.</p><p>Beyond his personal achievements, Deepak has earned recognition for his commitment to nurturing emerging talent. Colleagues describe him as a collaborator who believes in shared success. Rather than guarding opportunities, he actively creates them mentoring young artists, encouraging experimentation, and building a creative environment where new voices can thrive. This community-driven approach has become a hallmark of his work, reinforcing his reputation not just as a producer but as a catalyst for growth.</p><p>A defining moment in Deepak Agarwal&rsquo;s career came with the official music video <em>&ldquo;Naina Hamare,&rdquo;</em> a project that showcased his artistic vision and production expertise. Featuring vocals by Gul Saxena and Harman Nazim, and performances by Abhishek, Akshama, and Sumit Vyas, the song brought together multiple creative forces under a single, cohesive vision. Recorded by Deepak and released by Zee Music, the project marked a significant milestone, demonstrating his ability to translate ideas into impactful musical experiences.</p><p>The release of <em>&ldquo;Naina Hamare&rdquo;</em> on YouTube further amplified its reach, introducing Deepak&rsquo;s work to a wider audience and reinforcing his standing within the industry. The project was widely noted for its polished sound and collaborative spirit, underscoring the producer&rsquo;s growing influence in professional music circles.</p><p>At the core of Deepak Agarwal&rsquo;s journey lies a deeply personal mission. While success has brought recognition, his aspirations extend far beyond individual acclaim. He dreams of creating pathways for talented children from his village, district, and across Rajasthan, young minds who share his passion but may lack guidance or exposure. Through mentorship and collaboration, Deepak seeks to ensure that geography and background do not limit artistic potential.</p><p>Industry observers note that stories like Deepak&rsquo;s reflect a broader shift in Indian entertainment, where regional talent is gaining national visibility. His rise illustrates how determination, coupled with skill and vision, can redefine traditional narratives of success. For aspiring musicians from small towns, Deepak Agarwal&rsquo;s journey offers both inspiration and a practical blueprint: invest in your craft, remain rooted in your values, and create opportunities not just for yourself, but for others.</p><p>As his story continues to unfold, Deepak Aggarwal remains focused on growth&mdash;both personal and collective. Each new project adds a chapter to a career driven by hope, ambition, and an unwavering belief in the transformative power of music. From Bhaleri to Bollywood, his melody is one of resilience, reminding India that some of the most compelling sounds emerge from the most unexpected places.</p><p><strong>Please visit:&nbsp;</strong><br>

<p>Cast: Prathamesh Parab, Ankita Lande, Prithvik Pratap, Ganesh Yadav&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;Director: Mohsin Khan , Producer: David Nadar&nbsp;</p><p>Duration: 2 Hours 5 Minutes , Language: Hindi

Release&nbsp;</p><p>Date: 10 December 2025 , Platform: Ultra Play OTT&nbsp;</p><p>Rating: &#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9734; (3.5)&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Mamta Child Factory</strong>
 is a bold yet tender social drama that brings the complex world of 
surrogacy to the screen with honesty, heart, and an unexpected dose of 
small-town charm. Writer&ndash;Director <strong>Mohsin Khan</strong> tackles the subject with empathy rather than preaching, allowing the film to breathe, entertain, and connect emotionally.</p><p>Set in a modest town in <strong>Maharashtra</strong>, the story follows <strong>Bhau (Prathamesh Parab)</strong> and <strong>Chochya (Prithvik Pratap)</strong>&mdash;two laid-back real-estate brokers whose carefree routines are disrupted when <strong>Dr. Amruta Deshmukh (Ankita Lande)</strong>
 arrives with a courageous dream: to launch a fertility centre in a 
community weighed down by stigma, fear, and traditional beliefs. Her 
progressive medical outlook challenges the town&rsquo;s deep-rooted 
conservatism, triggering resistance, rumours, and moral panic&mdash;fueling a 
drama that remains deeply human at its core.</p><p>The film finds its emotional pulse in the lives of the <strong>village women</strong>,
 who carry silent battles between economic survival and social judgment.
 Khan portrays surrogacy not as a clinical transaction but as a journey 
of dignity, sacrifice, and hope. The narrative gains further momentum 
when <strong>MLA Sanjay Tatya Bhosale (Ganesh Yadav)</strong> quietly 
considers surrogacy for his own family, layering the plot with political
 pressure, personal conflict, secrecy, and vulnerability.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Prathamesh Parab</strong> leads the film with effortless humour and emotional authenticity, evolving beautifully as the story shifts gears. <strong>Ankita Lande</strong>
 delivers a remarkably grounded and mature performance as Dr. 
Amruta&mdash;strong, sensitive, and morally aware without ever feeling 
theatrical.<br>
<strong>Prithvik Pratap</strong> keeps the laughter natural with his impeccable comic timing, while <strong>Ganesh Yadav</strong> balances power and fragility with surprising nuance.<br>
Supporting actors <strong>Sujata Mogal</strong> and <strong>Vijay Patwardhan</strong> enrich the film&rsquo;s rural ecosystem, making the town feel lived-in and alive.</p><p>Khan smartly anchors the first half in light-hearted, slice-of-life 
storytelling, letting humour and local colour flow organically. The 
second half turns more intense, exploring ethical and emotional 
crossroads effectively. While the climax leans slightly more toward 
family drama than the central theme of surrogacy, it still lands&mdash;mainly

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], December 19: </strong>28th November 2025 marked a special day for Marathi cinema as Asa Mee Ashi Mee hit the theatres and immediately won the hearts of audiences. Viewers were overwhelmed by the film&rsquo;s stunning production value, visually striking locations in the UK, heartfelt performances, and a cinematic experience that felt both fresh and emotionally rooted. The production of the film was carried out by Maxamus Ltd, whose commitment to quality is evident in every frame.</p><p>Text Step Services Private Limited released the film in Maharashtra, India and entrusted Filmastra Studios with its distribution. As seen in several successful releases in recent years, the film follows the now-popular model of releasing the film in a limited number of theatres to create exclusivity, encourage early curiosity, and build authentic word-of-mouth. At later stages, the release will be expanded to global markets, with the film also being dubbed into multiple languages to reach audiences worldwide. This staggered approach has proven effective in building sustained momentum and is increasingly adopted to lay the foundation for films that may eventually evolve into future prequels or sequels.</p><p>With its rich storytelling and high-quality execution, Asa Mee Ashi Mee has set a new benchmark and promises to remain a memorable entry in Marathi cinema.</p><p><em>If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

<p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p><br></p><p>In a moment steeped in nostalgia and renewed purpose, IAS Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO of Prasar Bharati, addressed the press conference of filmmaker Karan Razdan&rsquo;s Rajni 2.0 on DD National and WAVES OTT, reaffirming the cultural significance and enduring relevance of India&rsquo;s most iconic social crusader. The evening stood as a stirring tribute to the late Priya Tendulkar, whose fearless portrayal of Rajni reshaped Indian television and awakened a generation to injustice.<p></p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Produced by Karan Razdan under the Lord Shiva Entertainment banner, Rajni 2.0 follows Rama Rajni Prabhakarr, who walks in the footsteps of her mother and continues her legacy with unwavering resolve.<p></p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The new season boldly confronts urgent, real-world issues &mdash; fraudulent builders and RERA challenges, VVIP racism, malpractice in private hospitals, misuse of bypass surgeries, entitlements under Ayushman Bharat and PMJAY, workplace harassment under the POSH Act, chit fund scams, drug de-addiction, and the fast-growing menace of digital arrest frauds targeting senior citizens.<p></p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Reflecting on the same, IAS Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO, Prasar Bharati, said, &ldquo;My takeaway from the promo today was three phrases &mdash; women empowerment, consumer rights, and the safety of women in the workplace. Rajani was conceptualised, executed, and broadcast before&nbsp;&nbsp;the issues entered common language,&nbsp;&nbsp;which shows how much the show was ahead of its time. It is unfortunate we could not find the episodes to re-telecast such great work, much as we would have loved to. But we searched and found Karan Razdan to bring the show back as Rajni 2.0, and we are elated that Rajni is back!&rdquo;<p></p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Speaking at the event, Karan Razdan shared that the show seeks not just to highlight societal problems but to empower citizens with solutions. &ldquo;Priya Tendulkar made Rajni a movement. Rajni 2.0 honours her legacy by giving today&rsquo;s viewers the clarity, courage, and information they need to stand up once again,&rdquo; he said.<p></p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The evening also resonated with heartfelt sentiments from distinguished guests. Anupam Kher spoke warmly of his deep friendship with Karan Razdan, his profound respect for Priya Tendulkar, and the need for socially relevant shows like Rajni 2.0 to find space on the DD National platform and WAVES OTT. Harman Baweja expressed pride in standing behind a show aired on DD National and WAVES, adding that his presence also honoured the cherished bond his father, filmmaker Harry Baweja, shared with both Karan Razdan and Anupam Kher.<p></p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Actress Aradhana Sharma spoke with disarming candour, saying that working on the series was not only a powerful learning experience but also an eye-opener that deepened her understanding of the social realities portrayed &mdash; something she feels proud to voice both as an individual and as an artiste.<p></p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The press conference concluded with an emotional remembrance of Basu Chatterjee and Priya Tendulkar, followed by a celebratory cake-cutting that marked the growing success of Rajni 2.0 &mdash; a series that continues to honour a formidable legacy while inspiring India to stand up, speak up, and demand a better tomorrow.<p></p></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], November 20: </strong>Are you looking for the best Bengali movie that is smart, engaging and full of emotions?&nbsp;If you are about to nod yes to this query, then Madam Sengupta might just be your next favourite. The movie stands out among all the good Bengali movies on EE5 for evoking unlimited emotions, intensity, thrill, and much more on screen. Great cast, tight writing, amazing visuals, and a story that matters altogether spellbind the audience. The guide will make a deep dive into the seven reasons why Madam Sengupta deserves a spot on every fan&rsquo;s best of list.</p><p>Madam Senguptaa is one of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.zee5.com/movies">best movies on ZEE5</a>, following the story of Anurekha, a renowned cartoonist, whose daughter dies under mysterious circumstances. She, along with journalist Ranjan, digs deeper into the world that starts as grief and becomes a full-blown hunt for truth. The movie offers a unique blend of crime thriller, emotional journey, and literary hints. The kind of layered story is quite rare in many Bengali movies today. It grabs the audience with its mystery but also keeps them engaged through its honest, grounded, real feelings.</p><p>Madam Sengupta brings up the very capable Rituparna Sengupta as Anurekha and Rahul Bose as a journalist who, altogether, tries to explore the secrets behind the murder mystery of Anurekha&rsquo;s daughter. The performances of the characters are quite grounded. Small gestures, worried glances and silences altogether create a realistic experience that feels connected.</p><p>The team behind the movie Madam Sengupta, i.e. director Sayantan Ghosal and writer Sougata Basu, perfectly builds a story that trusts the viewers. Rather than rushing behind the different things, the makers let tension grow organically. Powerful script, amazing direction, and strong performances work amazingly together to let you follow the clues, feel the emotions and understand the stakes. You are not just watching a crime movie here, but are experiencing a journey that makes you feel connected.</p><p>Amazing visuals and fine sound altogether create a magic on the audience and elevate the very scene, making it appear quite realistic. Cinematographer Tubain in the movie Madam Sengupta uses lighting, colour and shot design perfectly for building the mood. The background music and the sound design of the movie are quiet and go with the flow of the story. They support the scene without overpowering it, and that makes the quiet moments like Anurekha in her grief, or a clue in a shadowy room, feel quite heavy and meaningful. This absolute combination of high-quality visuals and sound is quite rare and breathes life into the overall story of the movie.</p><p>In the huge world of regional movies full of family dramas, romances and action flicks, Madam Sengupta brings up a neo-noir crime thriller that brings emotions on screen. This absolutely fresh tone gives fans an amazing viewing experience, making them engaged till the end. It is a smart, dark, thoughtful and entertaining movie that brings up a unique story showing a mother becoming a detective to explore the murder mystery of her own daughter. The movie brings entertainment, emotions and a feel of a spy at the same time.</p><p>The movie Madam Sengupta leaves the audience thinking. It is one of the best Bengali movies on ZEE5 that explores grief, betrayal, power, justice and the cost of truth for the audience. The journey of Anurekha is full of struggles and shows revenge, fall and then standing up. The movie successfully delivers both thrills and meaning and hence makes the audience feel connected till the end.</p><p>Madam Sengupta is one of the best Bengali movies on ZEE5 that pushes you to think. The movie has really uplifted the level of regional movies due to its absolute cast, powerful plot, amazing direction and strong performances. The movie is available to stream on ZEE5 in Bengali with English subtitles, making it more engaging and connecting. The release of this movie has actually raised the hope of better and bolder regional movies ahead.</p><p>Madam Sengupta is one of the best Bengali movies on ZEE5 that deserves a place on every Bengali fan&rsquo;s list. From engaging story to strong performances, from direction that trusts you to visuals that improve your overall viewing experiences, there are different boxes that this movie checks. It is a beautiful story of the struggle of a mother who is eager to explore the murder mystery of her daughter&rsquo;s death. It is one of the rare regional movies that aims high and hits the mark. If you love watching Bengali movies, just add it to your list now.</p><p>Let it spark conversations about the story, about regional cinema, and about what the next wave of Bengali films can be.</p><p><em> If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], November 20:</strong> Do you care about the movies that feel lived in, ritual-rich and emotionally honest? If yes, don&rsquo;t miss watching Dashavatar movie on ZEE5.</p><p>It is one of the best Marathi movies available on ZEE5 that offers a perfect mix of Konkan&rsquo;s Dashavatar folk theatre and a tightly told suspense story. The movie keeps the audience entertained, engaged and connected till the end.</p><p>Dashavatar, one of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.zee5.com/movies">latest movies on ZEE5</a>, opens in a Konkan village where ritual performance is not just a theatre but is the heartbeat of the society. Director Subodh Khanolkar has ideally planted the Dashavatar tradition within a modern-day mystery, where we see an old performer in a beautiful Mahashivratri show and a moment when performance and reality suddenly blur. That absolute mix of mythic imagery and small-town human stakes makes this movie appear authentic. The movie not only offers glimpses of gods on stage but also shows the consequences of those stories in people&rsquo;s lives.</p><p>The thing that lifts the movie is its excellent cast. Dilip Prabhavalkar has beautifully anchored the piece with a deeply human connection, as the veteran performer Babuli Mestri. Siddharth Menon gives the movie its youthful connection as Madhav, whereas Priyadarshini Indalkar, Mahesh Manjrekar, Bharat Jadhav, and the late Abhinay Berde bring the village to life with lived-in characters. Performances included are quiet, textured and don&rsquo;t include any melodrama.</p><p>Have you missed Dashavatar in theatres?</p><p><strong>No problem.</strong></p><p>The Dashavatar movie has been added to the ZEE5 platform, so the audience across India and beyond can easily stream it with subtitles. The digital premiere has given the movie a second life. It has become quite easy to queue up, watch and discuss with family. It is one of the best regional movies, a huge success that has drawn viewers with its incredible story and authenticity. If you want an absolutely sensory experience, just stream this movie in HD with your headphones.</p><p>The movie Dashavatar on ZEE5 draws on Konkan&rsquo;s coastal light, where we see daytime frames of public rituals and close, intimate shots of private grief. Cinematographer Devendra Golatkar has beautifully captured the different textures, including paint-streaked faces, slick earth, and lantern light on ritual nights.</p><p>If we talk about the music, A.V. Prafullachandra has beautifully mixed folk beats with atmospheric scoring, giving the movie&rsquo;s different sequences a ritual, authentic, and cinematically resonant feel.</p><p>There are two big reasons the Dashavatar movie has become the talk of the town. It revives and respectfully showcases a living folk tradition, with Konkan&rsquo;s Dashavatar performances on the big screen. Second, its absolute storytelling makes the local universal. The movie&rsquo;s success in theatres and plans for its release in other languages make it one of the best regional movies.</p><p>There are different sequences in the Dashavatar movie on ZEE5 that connect and stay with you. The scenes of Maharshivratri performances take an eerie, unexpected turn, while the moments of painted faces give it a personal touch. A montage scene where mythic imagery overlays everyday tasks. These scenes are not just connecting with the audience but are also structurally significant. The movie relies on images and rituals to add emotional weight to the story.</p><p>Movies like Dhasavatar are part of a broader moment in which regional stories with a strong local voice are reaching national and international audiences. Commentators have compared the cultural impact of this movie to other regional successes that foreground ritual and place while delivering a compelling story. It is one of the best regional movies that can shape mainstream conversations and bring the local artists and performers to national attention.</p><p>The Dashavatar movie is one of the best family movies on ZEE5 that piques regional curiosity among the audience. The movie has been crafted very carefully and uses local rituals to explore universal questions about memory, duty, and the price of keeping tradition alive.</p><p>The movie Dashavatar is available to stream on ZEE5, and that has increased its audience across India. The movie is a perfect way to connect with the living theatre of Konkan.</p><p>Suppose you are willing to watch a Marathi movie that is absolutely cinematic, culturally rich and emotionally connected. In that case, the Dashavatar movie on ZEE5 is the one that deserves a place on your watch list.</p><p><strong><em>Just watch it, and enjoy the absolute feel of those divine powers along with you.</em></strong></p><p><em> If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us. We will respond and rectify the situation in the next 24 hours.</em></p>

In this series, Grandpa Ashwin makes a rule: no phones or laptops for six months. If they comply with it, every person gets one crore rupees! What occurs subsequent is complete of a laugh, fights, and heat moments that make you smile and suppose.</p><p>Let&rsquo;s meet the cast of Thode Door Thode Paas&nbsp;<a href="https://www.zee5.com/web-series">web series on ZEE5</a>&nbsp;.</p><p>Pankaj Kapur plays Ashwin Mehta who has retired from the Navy and feels lonely after his wife died. Pankaj uncle is excellent&mdash;he appears strict, but his eyes are soft and type.</p><p>When he smashes the landline phone in anger, you laugh. When he talks about the old days, you feel sad with him. He is like every grandpa who wants his family to talk more.</p><p>Mona Singh is Savita, the mom. She runs a small shop and does all the housework. Mona Aunty shows how moms hide their dreams to keep everyone happy. In one scene, she teaches her daughter to fix socks and suddenly starts talking about her own old wishes. It feels so true.</p><p>Kunaal Roy Kapur plays Rohan, the son. He is always busy with work on his phone. Kunaal makes funny faces when he can&rsquo;t check emails&mdash;he looks lost! He is the big brother of actor</p><p>Aditya Roy Kapur, but here he is just a normal, tired office man.</p><p>Ayesha Kaduskar is Avni, the teenage girl. She loves taking selfies and getting likes. Ayesha shows how younger people sense an empty interior, regardless of many followers. She is adorable while she gets irritated about no Wi-Fi.</p><p>Sartaaj Kakkar and Gurpreet Saini are the small kids, Vivaan and Kumud. They are super cute! Vivaan misses his games and looks at the dark TV like a sad puppy. Kumud is naughty and teaches Grandma funny new words. They make the show light and happy.</p><p>All actors act very naturally. No over-drama. You feel like you know these people.</p><p>Ajay Bhuyan is the director. He decides how every scene looks and feels. Ajay makes the house look real&mdash;sunlight coming from windows, an old fridge with magnets, and clothes hanging to dry. He shoots close so you feel you are sitting in the same room. No big fancy camera moves, just simple and warm.</p><p>Shiirshak S. Anand is the creator and writer. He got the idea from his own family trying to put phones away during festivals.</p><p>Ajay Bhuyan directs like a friend telling a story. He uses real sounds&mdash;no loud music all the time. You hear the fan, the spoon in tea, the rain outside.</p><p>Production is clean. They shot in a real-looking flat in Bandra. Not too many locations&mdash;just home, street, park. Costumes are normal daily clothes&mdash;kurta, jeans, nightie. No shiny outfits. The budget looks small, but the heart is big.</p><p>The big idea is simple: phones push people away even when they sit together. The title means &ldquo;a little far, a little close.&rdquo; Grandpa wants to bring everyone close again. The show says old ways&mdash;talking face to face, playing cards, walking without maps&mdash;are better than likes and comments.</p><p>It shows how everyone is addicted. Grown-ups more than kids! Rohan can&rsquo;t sleep without checking his mail. Avni feels ugly without filters. Savita forgets her dreams because of chores and scrolling. When phones go away, they fight first, then talk, then laugh. They remember old stories, play antakshari, and cook together. Small things bring big happiness.</p><p>This show is all about family love. Ashwin misses his wife and wants the same warmth for his kids. Savita holds everyone like glue. Rohan learns that work is not everything. Avni finds that real friends are better than online ones. Kids teach elders new games without screens.</p><p>One beautiful scene: power cut at night. Only candles. Everyone sits in one room and talks about fears and dreams. No hiding behind emojis. Tears come, hugs come. That&rsquo;s family bond&mdash;messy, loud, but strong.</p><p>Thode Door Thode Paas is not a big action series. It is a small mirror. It shows how we live now&mdash;close in house, far in heart. But it also shows that fixing is easy. The cast acts like real people. The direction is warm like home. Production is honest. The theme is true for every house today. Family bond scenes will make you call your mom or hug your kid.</p><p>Watch all five episodes on ZEE5. Keep the phone in another room. Eat dinner together after. You will thank the show. It is short, sweet, and full of love. Perfect for this busy world. One crore is fake, but the happiness is real.</p><p><em>If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], November 20:</strong> Have you ever wondered what makes an ordinary person a nightmare? Ganoshotru, a recent Bengali series, can amaze you with each of its episodes. This series, which debuted on October 31, 2025, is similar to looking into ancient West Bengal police files. Designed for adults, it blends drama and true incidents to illustrate how common people went too far in committing crimes. Simple facts of 5 terrifying instances from the Nineteen Nineties to the 2000s&mdash;no problematic results or grand chases.</p><p>Check out the given post to find about the casts, directors and producers of Ganoshotru webseries. Along with this, you will also find a short summary of the same web series in the following post. So stay connected until the end.</p><p>Ganoshotru is among the list of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.zee5.com/web-series/lang/bengali">must-watch Bengali web series on ZEE5</a>. This series has five separate episodes, each telling one true story. They don&rsquo;t connect, so you can jump around.</p><p>Every episode delves into the dark lives of infamous individuals, such as Troilokya Devi, India&rsquo;s first female serial killer; Hubba Shyamal, a merciless gangster from Kolkata; Sajal Barui, who was driven to commit suicide by poverty and a secret circle of relatives; the infamous &ldquo;Chainman,&rdquo; who killed with a bicycle chain; and Rashid Khan, who was responsible for the 1993 Bowbazar explosion. The series reveals how fear, anger, and cultural forgetting turn common people into public foes by fusing witness accounts with unwavering reality..</p><p>The whole series feels real because it uses old news clips, court papers, and talks with people who knew the cases. It ends each story with what happened in court, so you feel like you learned something.</p><p>Ganoshotru has a team of five directors, one for each episode. That keeps things fresh&mdash;no one style gets boring. First up is Shamik Roy Chowdhury for &ldquo;Sajal Barui.&rdquo; He&rsquo;s good at quiet, emotional stories. Modhura Palit did &ldquo;The Chainman,&rdquo; bringing city vibes alive. Sayan Dasgupta handled &ldquo;The Matriarch,&rdquo; focusing on family feelings. Abhirup Ghosh directed &ldquo;The Poet Killer,&rdquo; mixing words and shadows. And Srimanta Sengupta wrapped it with &ldquo;Hubba Shyamal,&rdquo; adding grit and speed. They all worked from the same plan: stick to facts, no extras. It&rsquo;s smart because each part feels different but ties together.</p><p>The cast is full of Bengali stars who make you believe every line. Ayush Das plays young Sajal in the first episode. He&rsquo;s new but shines with scared, angry eyes that pull you in. Paoli Dam is Troilokya in Episode 3&mdash;she&rsquo;s tough and soft at once, like a real mom fighting back. Rudranil Ghosh is Hubba Shyamal in the last one; he struts like a king of the streets, full of charm and fire. Debopriyo Mukherjee is the Chainman, Kamruzzaman&mdash;his quiet looks hide the storm inside. Subrata Dutta plays Rashid Khan, the poet; his calm voice reading lines gives you chills. Other actors pop in as cops, family, or victims, keeping it simple and strong. No big Hollywood names, but these folks feel like your neighbors, which makes the stories hit harder.</p><p>It is a ZEE5 original, made by their Bangla team. Rusa Banerjee, the head of Bangla ZEE5, pushed for it. She said they wanted stories &ldquo;rooted in culture but daring.&rdquo; No fancy outside company&mdash;just ZEE5&rsquo;s own folks making sure it is true to Bengal. They spent time checking old files, so nothing is wrong. It is cheap to make but feels big because of real spots like trains and villages.</p><p>You can easily stream Ganoshotru on ZEE5. You can either download and install the ZEE5 application on your smartphones or directly go to the official address of the same app on any browser. It&rsquo;s free to begin; however, you want a plan for all episodes&mdash;about ninety-nine rupees a month. If you are not from India, use a VPN to access as if you&rsquo;re in Kolkata. All five episodes are out now, so binge away. Watch in HD with Bengali sound.</p><p>It&rsquo;s not just scary&mdash;it&rsquo;s a look at Bengal&rsquo;s tough side. Poverty, family pressure, city rush&mdash;they all play a part. Viewers say it&rsquo;s real, not fake drama. On ZEE5, it got 4.2 out of 5 stars quickly. Blogs call it &ldquo;a wake-up&rdquo; for true-crime fans. Some say endings rush, but most love honesty. If you like shows about why people snap, this is gold.</p><p>Ganoshotru series makes you chat with friends: &ldquo;Remember that old news?&rdquo; It&rsquo;s short, smart, and sticks with you. In a world of happy stories, *Ganoshotru* shows the dark to light the way. Grab tea, dim lights, and hit play. Just don&rsquo;t watch it alone if you are not a massive fan of thrillers.</p><p><em>If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

They share a very close relationship and a strong emotional bond. Vivek Oberoi consistently supports Vivek Bindra and his company, Bada Business. Oberoi frequently participates in Bada Business&rsquo;s Leadership Funnel Program, CGP and Idea to IPO Events. This world-first premiere was Dr. Bindra&rsquo;s heartfelt way of honoring that friendship.</p><p><strong>Star Cast Lights Up the Bada Business Head Office</strong></p><p>The atmosphere at the Bada Business office turned electric as Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani, and Vivek Oberoi arrived to meet fans and creators. They were joined by the leading actresses of the film- Elnaz Norouzi, Ruhi Singh, and Shreya Sharma- who added charm and glamour to the evening.</p><p><strong>A High-Energy Interaction with Dr. Vivek Bindra</strong></p><p>A lively Q&amp;A session followed, where Dr. Vivek Bindra engaged the cast in an unfiltered, humorous, and candid conversation. The stars opened up about their long-lasting friendships, memories from the Masti franchise, and fun behind-the-scenes anecdotes.</p><p><strong>Creators Turn the Visit Into a Content Carnival</strong></p><p>Over 200 Instagram and social media creators attended the interaction session, transforming the venue into a full-on content playground. The star-studded creator lineup included Rachit Rojha (21.M), English Connection (17M), Shadab Jakati (7.5M), Chhota Pushpa Raj (6M), Shaad Malik (5.7M), Shibbu Giri (5M+), Dolly ki Tapri (4.9M), Sanjana Yadav (4.8M), Prakhar Gupta (4M), Rajvir Sisodia (3.11M) along with many others. The creators joined the celebration and created non-stop viral moments. From reels and transitions to group photos and collaboration clips, they enjoyed exclusive access to the actors, generating a wave of high-energy content across social media.</p><p><strong>Dr. Bindra&rsquo;s Special Message: A Tribute to Friendship</strong></p><p>&ldquo;I organised this premiere purely out of love for my brother Vivek Oberoi. Our bond goes back years, and whatever I&rsquo;ve done for this movie, I&rsquo;ve done it because of that friendship. This was a gesture straight from the heart,&rdquo; said Dr. Vivek Bindra.</p><p>Speaking about Dr. Vivek Bindra and the event, Vivek Oberoi said, &ldquo;Dr. Bindra is a sweetheart. He is a brother, and I&rsquo;m genuinely amazed to see how he and Bada Business put together such a grand event with so much warmth and energy.&rdquo;</p><p><strong>A Night of Fun, Friendship &amp; Film Fever</strong></p><p>The Masti 4 premiere at Bada Business wrapped up with group photos, creator collaborations, and a wave of cheerful energy that echoed the spirit of the film itself- fun, friendship, and full-on masti.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 18:</strong> India&rsquo;s historical and cultural scholarship achieved an important milestone with the launch of <a href="https://www.amazon.in/dp/9391981615/">A City Called Agroha</a>, an ambitious and meticulously researched reconstruction of the ancient republic founded by Samrat Agrasen. With its extensive research and interdisciplinary approach, A City Called Agroha is poised to serve as a foundational reference for future studies, firmly placing Samrat Agrasen&rsquo;s where more than 100 distinguished guests from the fields of law, archaeology, academia, politics, defence, maritime professions, media and medicine were present.</p><p>The event was presided over by the Chief Guest, C.A. Uttamprakash Agarwal, National President of the Agroha Vikas Trust, who described the publication as &ldquo;a cultural and civilisational milestone for India,&rdquo; commending its remarkable depth and unprecedented scope. He was joined by senior dignitaries of the Trust, including Shri Alkesh Agarwal, Shri Dinesh Agarwal, Shrimati Premlata Agarwal, Shrimati Rekha Goel, Shrimati Vandana Garg, Shrimati Kamala Goenka, Shrimati Namrata Agarwal and Shrimati Manisha Agrawal, all of whom emphasised the enduring relevance of Agrasen&rsquo;s legacy for contemporary society.</p><p>Guests of Honour included Dr Adv. Chitrasen Abhyankar, CEO and Secretary of the Nirmal Education Society; Dr Zarin Sethna, noted clinical psychologist; Adv. Raj Saraf of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha; former Director of Education at the Goenka &amp; Associates Educational Trust, Shrimati Poonam Jaiswal; Business Upturn Media Group founder Vipul Sipani; and Joseph P. Chacko, founder of Frontier India Technology and the book&rsquo;s publisher. Among the special attendees were Op Pawan and Kargil War veteran Lt Col (Retd) Shreesh Kumar; Master Mariner Capt. Sundeep Shivanagi; actress Nivedita Bhargava; along with several medical professionals and social leaders.</p><p>At the heart of the launch was lead author <a href="https://www.qnaindia.com/a-city-called-agroha-vaibhav-agrawal-on-the-intellectual-journey-behind-the-first-full-reconstruction-of-samrat-agrasens-republic/">Vaibhav M. Agrawal</a>, a maritime and logistics legal professional and co-founder of Commercyon, whose vision forms the intellectual anchor of the project. He noted that the initiative stemmed from a desire &ldquo;to recover India&rsquo;s lost models of ethical commerce and responsible governance,&rdquo; adding that &ldquo;the first step of true nationalism comes from knowing and studying one&rsquo;s own lineage and roots.&rdquo; His role as a researcher, educator and legal scholar of indigenous governance systems offers a strong conceptual framework to the work.</p><p>Widely described as one of the world&rsquo;s first comprehensive studies on Agroha, the book reconstructs the economic, legal and administrative structures of Samrat Agrasen&rsquo;s republic. Its scope spans governance systems, welfare models, arbitration mechanisms, fiscal policy, state ethics and the role of women and familial institutions. The authors also chart international trade routes, maritime linkages and archaeological stratigraphy, drawing meaningful parallels between ancient governance practices and modern constitutional principles. Co-author Neha Mhatre observed that the work &ldquo;bridges material evidence, cultural memory and academic inquiry in a way never attempted before,&rdquo; underscoring its multidisciplinary breadth.</p><p>By bringing together archaeology, law, economic history, epigraphy and oral tradition, A City Called Agroha consolidates fragmented narratives into a single scholarly text &mdash; a characteristic that stands out as one of its most compelling strengths. The book presents the ancient republic not merely as a historical subject but as a sophisticated socio-economic model with contemporary significance for policymakers, researchers and communities exploring India&rsquo;s indigenous frameworks of governance and commerce.</p><p>The launch marked an important moment for Indian scholarship and for the Agrawal community&rsquo;s cultural heritage. With its extensive research and interdisciplinary approach, A City Called Agroha is poised to serve as a foundational reference for future studies, firmly placing Samrat Agrasen&rsquo;s legacy within the larger discourse on India&rsquo;s civilisational evolution.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], November 19: </strong>Celebrated Netaji and Azad Hind collector Prithwish Dasgupta has been awarded the prestigious Vermeil Award at the 10th Philatelic Exhibition Bongopex&ndash;2025, organised by the West Bengal Circle of the Department of Posts. The exhibition, held at Science City from 14 to 17 November, brought together philatelists from across West Bengal, Sikkim and the Andaman &amp; Nicobar Islands.</p><p>Dasgupta, known nationally for his unparalleled research on Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and the Indian National Army (INA), impressed jurors with his rare and historically invaluable exhibit. With over twenty-five years of collecting experience, he presented one of the most comprehensive displays of Netaji&rsquo;s life, INA&rsquo;s military history and the material culture of Azad Hind.</p><p>One of the most striking components of Dasgupta&rsquo;s award-winning entry was a collection of handwritten letters authored by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose between 1936 and 1939, during his period of British-imposed house arrest. Many of these letters carried the official markings &ldquo;Censored &amp; Passed by the British Police&rdquo;, offering a direct glimpse into the surveillance and restrictions placed on Netaji by the colonial administration.</p><p>Philatelists, historians and visitors described these letters as &ldquo;living pieces of India&rsquo;s freedom struggle,&rdquo; and they formed an emotional centrepiece of the display.</p><p>A major attraction at Bongopex 2025 was Dasgupta&rsquo;s extraordinary collection of military decorations issued by the Provisional Government of Azad Hind. These medals were manufactured during World War II by Rudolf Souval, a renowned Vienna-based maker of German military decorations. Therefore each medal bears the embossed mark &ldquo;RUDOLF SOUVAL&rdquo; on the reverse.</p><p>Dasgupta&rsquo;s collection includes almost every known variety of INA medals, such as the Sher-e-Hind (Grand Star), the highest military decoration conceived by Azad Hind; the Sardar-e-Jung (1st Class Star), regarded as the second-highest honour; the Vir-e-Hind (Warrior of India); the Shahid-e-Bharat Bronze, often compared to the modern Param Vir Chakra; and the Tamgha-e-Azadi and Tamgha-e-Bahadur, issued in gold, silver and bronze grades. Each of these medals is inscribed with &ldquo;Indiens Freiheitskampfe&rdquo;&mdash;German for&nbsp;<em>India&rsquo;s Freedom Struggle</em>.</p><p>Collectors described Dasgupta&rsquo;s display as one of the finest ever presented in India, especially since it included not only the medals but also the original presentation boxes and full sets of wartime ribbons.</p><p>The Vermeil-winning exhibit also showcased an extensive collection of Azad Hind postal material, including circulated and uncirculated covers, rare tricolour INA stamps depicting soldiers raising the Azad Hind flag, and extremely scarce wartime philatelic items issued in territories influenced by Netaji&rsquo;s movement.</p><p>A highlight for military-history enthusiasts was a hand-embroidered &ldquo;Freies Indien&rdquo; Jumping Tiger shoulder patch, once worn by INA officers. The patch is considered one of the rarest artefacts linked to INA uniforms and is seldom seen in the Indian philatelic circuit.</p><p>Dasgupta further displayed multiple covers sent to INA families in India from Rangoon, Malaya, Singapore and Burma after Independence, many adorned with hand-drawn portraits of Netaji. Experts remarked that this unique combination of postal history and patriotic art elevated the exhibit to museum-level significance.</p><p>The exhibit extended beyond wartime material and included First Day Covers, Special Covers, commemorative postcards and stamps issued in India after Independence, celebrating Netaji and the INA. Dasgupta also showcased global philatelic releases honouring Bose from countries across Europe and Asia, alongside rare INA currency used in Japanese-occupied Burma.</p><p>Complementing the philatelic items was a curated selection of vintage matchboxes featuring Netaji&rsquo;s image, precious research publications by INA veterans, and badges and tokens issued by Netaji-inspired organisations in the decades following Independence.</p><p>Speaking after receiving the Vermeil Award, Prithwish Dasgupta said that documenting Netaji&rsquo;s journey and the INA&rsquo;s sacrifices remains his life&rsquo;s mission. &ldquo;Any item connected with Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose or the INA is precious and worthy of preservation. Collecting and conserving these materials is my way of honouring India&rsquo;s freedom struggle,&rdquo; he said.</p><p>With the honour at Bongopex 2025, Dasgupta has been widely acknowledged as one of India&rsquo;s foremost Netaji collectors and among the rare experts preserving the legacy of Azad Hind through authentic archival material. His work continues to contribute to historical research, public exhibitions and a deeper national understanding of one of India&rsquo;s most inspiring chapters.</p><p><em> If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

Call it devotion. Or call it Mumbai doing what Mumbai does best &mdash; scaling everything to an epic level.<br>The <strong>International Geeta Jayanti Mahotsav 2025</strong>, the focus keyword of this story, rolls into <strong>Vishnu Maidan, Bangur Nagar, Goregaon (West)</strong> from <strong>30 November to 6 December 2025</strong>. And it is not just another religious gathering. It is a bold attempt to position Mumbai as the global epicentre of spiritual unity.</p><p>Organized by <strong>Swami Atmasthananda Seva Pratishthan</strong>, jointly with <strong>Indo Occidental Symbiosis (IOS)</strong> and supported by the <strong>Maharashtra Tourism Department</strong>, the festival plants its flag on one big theme: <strong>World Brotherhood</strong>.</p><p>The goal? Blend Dharma, Karma, Peace, and Righteous Living with a cultural narrative big enough to command global attention. Mumbai likes big. This is big.</p><p>The inaugural day is set to pull in <strong>over 50,000 devotees</strong> &mdash; that&rsquo;s not a gathering, that&rsquo;s a spiritual stadium.<br>The Mahotsav opens on <strong>30 November</strong> with a grand tribute to <strong>Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj</strong> and <strong>Rajmata Jijabai</strong> &mdash; two names that define Maharashtra&rsquo;s identity as fiercely as Mumbai defines hustle.</p><p>A theatrical and musical showcase titled <strong>&ldquo;Shiv Charitra&rdquo;</strong> will headline the opening night, celebrating the valor and visionary leadership of the state&rsquo;s icons.</p><p>And yes, cultural fireworks are expected. No understatement there.</p><p>For a week, Vishnu Maidan transforms into a high-frequency spiritual arena.

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 6:</strong> Pawna Lake, once a quiet hideaway nestled between Mumbai, Lonavala, and Pune, is fast emerging as India&rsquo;s next luxury destination for serene second-home living. Leading this mindful transformation is Aris Estates, under the visionary leadership of its founder, Hemal Purohit, who is redefining the idea of responsible, experience-driven real estate.</p><p>Speaking about the region&rsquo;s growing allure, Hemal Purohit said, &ldquo;Pawna Lake is a rare blend of accessibility and untouched natural beauty. Our mission at Aris Estates is to build not just second homes, but entire ecosystems rooted in sustainability and design integrity. Each project blends seamlessly with the landscape through low-impact construction, local materials, and eco-sensitive planning.&rdquo;</p><p>Unlike other overdeveloped weekend home destinations, Pawna stands apart for its regulatory clarity, natural tranquillity, and long-term investment potential. Purohit noted that with major infrastructure projects under development across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), travel time from South Mumbai and Bandra to Pawna is expected to drop to under 60 minutes by 2027 &mdash; a shift that could make it one of India&rsquo;s most accessible and desirable natural retreats.</p><p>&ldquo;Pawna offers verified land titles, RERA-registered projects, and clear zoning regulations,&rdquo; he added. &ldquo;For discerning buyers and investors, this translates to security, peace of mind, and sustainable value &mdash; a combination that is becoming increasingly rare in the second-home market.&rdquo;</p><p>At the core of Aris Estates&rsquo; philosophy lies &lsquo;mindful luxury&rsquo; &mdash; a concept that blends sophistication with sustainability. The company&rsquo;s developments feature open-plan layouts, eco-friendly materials, wellness amenities, and immersive landscapes that promote connection with nature. &ldquo;We define luxury not by excess but by intent &mdash; homes that offer serenity, simplicity, and the restorative power of nature,&rdquo; said Purohit.</p><p>As part of its commitment to responsible development, Aris Estates works with verified land titles audited by Kanga &amp; Co and maintains RERA compliance across projects, ensuring transparency and reliability in a region historically challenged by ownership complexities.</p><p>Purohit believes the rise of micro-locations like Pawna Lake signals a broader shift in the real estate market. &ldquo;Buyers today are seeking authenticity, exclusivity, and wellness-driven experiences. With cleaner air, privacy, and proximity to urban centres, Pawna perfectly meets these evolving aspirations.&rdquo;</p><p>Looking ahead, Aris Estates is positioning itself at the forefront of Maharashtra&rsquo;s wellness-focused real estate wave, with projects that seamlessly integrate sustainability, wellness, and refined architectural design. &ldquo;Our guiding principle is simple &mdash; development should enhance, not erase. Pawna Lake deserves responsible growth, and we&rsquo;re committed to leading that change,&rdquo; Purohit concluded.</p><p><em> If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 6:</strong> The opening evening of &lsquo;Continuum&rsquo;, a solo exhibition by contemporary artist Nandan Purkayastha, witnessed an exceptional turnout at Jehangir Art Gallery, as the city&rsquo;s art community gathered to celebrate his latest body of work. The exhibition was inaugurated by Mr. Praful Patel &ndash; Member of Rajya Sabha and Working President of NCP, in the presence of Dr. Vishwajeet Kadam, Member of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly; Brinda Miller &ndash; Chairperson, Kala Ghoda Association &amp; Festival Director of the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival; Kalapana Shah &ndash; Founder, Tao Art Gallery; Sunita Sanghai &ndash; Founder, Vachi Art Gallery; veteran photojournalist Pradeep Chandra; and Sunil Joshan (Founder) and Sanchit Joshan (CEO) of Sanchit Art Gallery, among several eminent dignitaries and well-known figures from the art world.</p><p>Guests were left spellbound as they walked through the showcase of nearly 40 artworks&hellip; a harmonised curation of paintings, drawings, and sculptures. The evening&rsquo;s most talked-about centrepiece was a 2.7-tonne sculptural installation of Narasimha, conceptualised in collaboration with international luxury d&eacute;cor brand Ipse Ipsa Ipsum, which drew collective awe for its scale, craftsmanship, and contemporary interpretation of mythology.</p><p>Speaking at the launch, Mr. Praful Patel shared, &ldquo;I have known Nandan for a few years, thanks to Dr. Vishwajeet Kadam. When I first saw his works at Dr. Kadam&rsquo;s residence, I was instantly drawn to the paintings displayed there and said I&nbsp;<em>must</em>&nbsp;have his art. I rarely say something like this when I visit someone&rsquo;s home, but Nandan&rsquo;s works are so inspiring, unique and refreshing that they immediately stayed with me. Since then, I have been delighted to collect some of his lovely works. It gives me great joy to see the diverse art forms he has presented here at his exhibition today, and I extend my warmest wishes to Nandan.&rdquo;</p><p>Born in Assam in 1986 and raised amidst the cultural vibrancy of small-town life, Purkayastha&rsquo;s early fascination with idol-makers during Durga Puja still echoes through his practice. His visual language, rooted in myth and folklore yet expressed with contemporary sensitivity, moves effortlessly between monochrome drama and striking bursts of contrast.</p><p>His practice spans multiple mediums &ndash; Acrylic, Oil Pigment, Watercolour, Pen &amp; Ink, and Graphite, layered with texture and depth, while his sculptural works in Pink Granite, Wood, and Brass extend his storytelling into tactile form. Magical realism threads through his creations, where the everyday dissolves into the mythical, inviting viewers into a world where memory and imagination converse as equals.</p><p>Presented by Sanchit Art Gallery, &lsquo;Continuum&rsquo; mirrors the gallery&rsquo;s philosophy of offering a panoramic view of modern and contemporary Indian art through exhibitions that are as intellectually engaging as they are spiritually resonant. Known for curating experiences that sustain the cultural threads of the past while embracing the evolving pulse of the present, Sanchit Art has long fostered a deeper appreciation for the diverse voices shaping India&rsquo;s artistic narrative. The gallery represents some of the country&rsquo;s most celebrated masters, including M. F. Husain, Ganesh Pyne, Ram Kumar, Satish Gujral, Paresh Maity, Thota Vaikuntam, Jogen Chowdhury, G.R. Santosh, Jayasri Burman, K. Laxma Goud, Lalu Prasad Shaw, Neeraj Goswami, Manoj Dutta, and Dipak Banerjee, among others. Having witnessed the creative journeys of many of these artists over decades, Sanchit Art remains committed to providing a platform that honours their legacy while championing contemporary voices like Nandan Purkayastha, who carry India&rsquo;s artistic continuum forward.</p><p>Nandan Purkayastha&rsquo;s &lsquo;Continuum&rsquo; will be on view at the Jehangir Art Gallery (Auditorium), Kala Ghoda, Mumbai, until the 10th&nbsp;of November 2025, daily 11 am and 7 pm.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 4:</strong> There&rsquo;s a sly kind of horror movie that doesn&rsquo;t roar, it creeps; it doesn&rsquo;t binge, it lingers; it doesn&rsquo;t dominate headlines, it quietly haunts your mind. In the streaming deluge of loud-fright flicks, these gems shuffled to the back of the catalogue, buried under algorithmic noise and blockbuster blitzes. Here are five such films &mdash; Southbound, Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, Starry Eyes, The House of the Devil and Honeymoon &mdash; each a slow-burn, twist-laden, mood-soaked piece of horror cinema that deserved more eyeballs.</p><p>And yes, we&rsquo;ll sing their praises &mdash; but we&rsquo;ll also be honest about the creaks, the mis-steps, and the reasons they didn&rsquo;t explode into the &ldquo;must-watch&rdquo; zone.</p><p><img src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/PNN-2025-11-04T153930.692.jpg" alt="Horror" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>Imagine five interlocking tales of terror, all connected by a creepy desert highway. That&rsquo;s what <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4935334/">Southbound</a> delivers. Critics gave it a solid reception &mdash; around 80% on Rotten Tomatoes. The moments when the segments drift into each other feel like the best kind of weird: loose ends become the point. One reviewer called it &ldquo;one of the smartest and scariest movies in recent memory.&rdquo;</p><p><strong>What works:</strong> The anthology format breathes freshness, the scares feel unpredictable, and the mood is properly creepy.<br>
<strong>Where it stumbles:</strong> Anthologies often suffer from variation in quality between segments, and Southbound isn&rsquo;t immune. Some stories click more than others; the transitions pull you out of immersion.<br>
<strong>Why it&rsquo;s underrated:</strong> Because anthologies are tricky to market, and horror viewers are often impatient &mdash; they want the thrill, not the slow build-up. This one gives both, but it expects you to slow down.</p><p><img src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/PNN-2025-11-04T154104.392.jpg" alt="Horror" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>Here&rsquo;s a gem that many horror fans whisper about but fewer mainstream viewers watch. Gonjiam uses the found-footage framework in a dilapidated asylum and earns a whopping 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. Reddit threads call it &ldquo;one of the scariest found-footage movies I&rsquo;ve seen&rdquo;, while others say it &ldquo;fell short of hype.&rdquo;</p><p><strong>What works:</strong> The location is real-world creepy, the found footage style adds immediacy, and the final &#8531; delivers genuine spine-chills.<br>
<strong>Where it stumbles:</strong> Some viewers found the acting over&#8208;the&#8208;top, the pacing slow, and certain jump-scare moments too predictable.<br>
<strong>Why it&rsquo;s underrated:</strong> Non-English horror still struggles for visibility in global streaming realms, and the marketing didn&rsquo;t push it hard outside the horror-lover bubble.</p><p><img src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/PNN-2025-11-04T154554.294.jpg" alt="Horror" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>This one flips the script on ambition and fame. A young actress endures humiliation after humiliation in Hollywood, then things get weird. The film holds a 74% approval on Rotten Tomatoes, but a Metacritic score of 49 shows the divide.</p><p><strong>What works:</strong> The satirical take on &ldquo;making it&rdquo; is sharp, the transformation of the lead is intense, and the visuals lean into the grotesque.<br>
<strong>Where it stumbles:</strong> It dips into typical horror tropes in the third act, which weakens the initial punch. Some critics say the finale doesn&rsquo;t match the promise of the setup.<br>
<strong>Why it&rsquo;s underrated:</strong> It&rsquo;s weird. It&rsquo;s dark. It expects you to wrestle with the discomfort of ambition, not just jump out of your seat. Most viewers don&rsquo;t sign up for that.</p><p><img src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/PNN-2025-11-04T155105.855.jpg" alt="Horror" width="1200" height="675"></p><p><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1172994/">Director Ti West</a> nails the 1980s horror vibe, with slow tension, flickering sets and dread built through mood, not cheap scares. The film boasts an 85% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.</p><p><strong>What works:</strong> It captures a vintage horror feel with modern polish, blends occult dread with subdued craftsmanship.<br>
<strong>Where it stumbles:</strong> Its slow pace is a barrier for viewers hungry for immediate frights. Some find the build-up too gradual.<br>
<strong>Why it&rsquo;s underrated:</strong> When horror becomes minimalistic and tone-driven instead of loud and fast, it loses out in the &ldquo;What to Watch Right Now&rdquo; culture. This is for the viewer who stays for the stare at the ceiling after the credits roll.</p><p><img src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/PNN-2025-11-04T155248.147.jpg" alt="Horror" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>A honeymoon should be blissful. In this film, it&rsquo;s the ticket to a nightmare. The story: newlyweds, a cabin in the woods, strange sleepwalking, and then &hellip; something else. It holds a 76% score on Rotten Tomatoes.</p><p>What works: The premise is simple but effective, the atmosphere is tense, and the film uses limited resources well.<br>
Where it stumbles: Some reviews say the payoff is thin and the horror payoff doesn&rsquo;t fully meet the promise of its setup.<br>
Why it&rsquo;s underrated: It&rsquo;s modest in budget and ambition, so it didn&rsquo;t get loud marketing. Also, the slow-burn approach keeps it off &ldquo;instant watch&rdquo; lists.</p><p>If these five grabbed your interest, here are some others worth the hunt:</p><p>So yes &mdash; if you&rsquo;re browsing for something &ldquo;safe to put on in the background,&rdquo; these aren&rsquo;t your hop-in-hop-out thrillers. But if you want something that lingers, something that bites a little after you turn off the TV, then these are your hidden roses among the weeds of streaming. They may not dominate trending lists, but they dominate memory. They may not boast huge budgets or A-list stars, but they raise questions, unsettle the calm, and invite you to <em>feel</em> something beyond the jump-shot.</p><p>Which underrated film or series have <em>you</em> discovered &mdash; the one you tell no one about because you secretly want to keep it hidden? Drop it in the comments. Let&rsquo;s gossip about the horror gems the algorithm forgot.</p><p><a href="https://pnndigital.com/category/entertainment/"><strong>PNN Entertainment</strong></a></p>

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 4:</strong> It&rsquo;s rare for a film to make you both uncomfortable and curious at once. <em>Bad Girl</em>, now streaming on Netflix, does exactly that. Directed by Vetrimaaran &mdash; the master of quiet chaos &mdash; and produced by<a href="https://www.instagram.com/anuragkashyap10/"> Anurag Kashyap</a>, the film walks the tightrope between rebellion and reflection, refusing to neatly fit into any one genre. It&rsquo;s a coming-of-age story, yes, but it&rsquo;s also a social mirror held up to an audience that&rsquo;s often too distracted to look into it.</p><p>At first glance, <em>Bad Girl</em> feels deceptively simple. A young woman (played by the strikingly composed Anjali Sivaraman) tries to find herself amid the noise of moral expectations, fractured friendships, and half-spoken truths. The premise isn&rsquo;t groundbreaking &mdash; but the tone is. The film moves with a languid rhythm, where silences sting harder than dialogue, and glances speak entire paragraphs.</p><p>If Vetrimaaran is the surgeon of realism, Kashyap here plays the philosopher of mess. The movie feels like their creative intersection &mdash; where <em>Aadukalam</em> meets <em>Dev D</em>, stitched together by the thread of discomfort. The film doesn&rsquo;t shout to be understood; it lingers, waits, and lets unease simmer. That, in itself, is a rebellion.</p><p>The movie&rsquo;s release on OTT this week has been met with cautious excitement. Viewers, ever hungry for fast content, may find <em>Bad Girl</em>&rsquo;s stillness both refreshing and jarring. It&rsquo;s a slow burn in an era of ten-second attention spans &mdash; a film that expects you to listen instead of scroll.</p><p>According to insiders, the production budget hovered around a modest mid-tier range, but the visual composition and emotional depth stretch far beyond it. It&rsquo;s not extravagant cinema; it&rsquo;s introspective cinema that wears simplicity as armor.</p><p>Yet, there&rsquo;s no denying that <em>Bad Girl</em> isn&rsquo;t for everyone. Some early viewers found the pacing indulgent and the moral ambiguity frustrating. There&rsquo;s a point in the second act where even the most patient audience may wonder if the narrative has started circling itself. But perhaps that&rsquo;s the point &mdash; the film, much like its protagonist, is not chasing resolution. It&rsquo;s chasing awareness.</p><p>Anjali Sivaraman&rsquo;s performance is the film&rsquo;s emotional anchor. Her portrayal of confusion &mdash; that quiet kind, not the theatrical one &mdash; makes the story believable. She doesn&rsquo;t &ldquo;act&rdquo; the part; she inhabits it. You can see her character&rsquo;s defiance in the way she breathes, not just in what she says. It&rsquo;s the kind of subtle performance that goes unnoticed in mainstream awards but stays etched in the viewer&rsquo;s subconscious.</p><p>Vetrimaaran, in contrast, uses direction like calligraphy &mdash; deliberate, precise, almost meditative. His frames aren&rsquo;t cluttered; his storytelling isn&rsquo;t loud. Even when he borrows from Kashyap&rsquo;s playbook of moral greys, he adds discipline to the madness. Together, they build a world that&rsquo;s raw yet restrained, rebellious yet dignified.</p><p>The cinematography, subdued yet layered, uses natural light as a character of its own. You don&rsquo;t just watch the film; you <em>absorb</em> it. The muted color palette &mdash; part melancholy, part metaphor &mdash; feels like the emotional weather of the protagonist&rsquo;s mind. It&rsquo;s a reminder that not every story of rebellion needs fireworks. Sometimes, silence is the loudest protest.</p><p>Streaming platforms like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@NetflixIndiaOfficial">Netflix</a> have recently become sanctuaries for such mid-budget, emotionally rich experiments. In a landscape dominated by genre thrillers and fast-paced crime dramas, films like <em>Bad Girl</em> feel like quiet insurgents. They don&rsquo;t trend for their shock value; they survive on whispers and word-of-mouth.</p><p>Over the past year, several Indian and international OTT titles (<em>Kohrra</em>, <em>Pippa</em>, <em>Jaane Jaan</em>, <em>Trial by Fire</em>) have proven that nuanced storytelling can still find loyal viewership. <em>Bad Girl</em> fits comfortably in that lineage &mdash; the kind of film that critics appreciate on a second viewing and audiences defend long after they&rsquo;ve forgotten its flaws.</p><p>Social media, predictably, has split its verdict. Some users called it &ldquo;a poetic rebellion against the good-girl narrative,&rdquo; while others dismissed it as &ldquo;slow, indulgent, and vaguely confused.&rdquo; Even Kashyap&rsquo;s loyal fanbase appears divided &mdash; some claiming it&rsquo;s his most restrained production in years, others wishing it carried more of his trademark chaos. And yet, love it or loathe it, nobody&rsquo;s ignoring it.</p><p>In recent interviews, Kashyap described <a href="https://www.instagram.com/badgirl.thefilm/"><em>Bad Girl</em></a> as &ldquo;a film that asks uncomfortable questions rather than offering comforting answers.&rdquo; That, perhaps, sums up the experience best. It&rsquo;s less about plot, more about presence; less about right or wrong, more about what lies in between.</p><p>And in the OTT jungle, where viewership numbers often outweigh artistic merit, <em>Bad Girl</em>&rsquo;s existence feels like a small, stubborn victory. A reminder that not all cinema must be glossy or conclusive. Some films exist to make you sit with your own discomfort &mdash; and maybe, that&rsquo;s what true storytelling is meant to do.</p><p>Whether <em>Bad Girl</em> becomes a streaming hit or remains an underrated gem is something time will tell. For now, it stands as a quietly confident piece of filmmaking that doesn&rsquo;t pander, doesn&rsquo;t apologise, and certainly doesn&rsquo;t conform. It&rsquo;s the cinematic equivalent of a whispered rebellion &mdash; you might miss it if you&rsquo;re not paying attention, but once you do, it stays with you.</p><p>In an age where &ldquo;content&rdquo; is consumed faster than it&rsquo;s made, <em>Bad Girl</em> reminds us that cinema still has the power to pause us mid-scroll. And perhaps that&rsquo;s its real triumph.</p><p>So, over to you &mdash; when was the last time you discovered a film that didn&rsquo;t shout for your attention but still wouldn&rsquo;t leave your mind? Tell us your most underrated finds &mdash; the ones that refused to fit in, and in doing so, became unforgettable.</p><p><a href="https://pnndigital.com/category/entertainment/"><strong>PNN Entertainment</strong></a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<p><strong>New Delhi [India], November 4:</strong> In a landmark moment for pediatric oral health, Velura, a leader in innovative natural wellness products, today unveiled&nbsp;<a href="http://www.veluraindia.com/">Velura CHOCOPASTE Kids Toothpaste</a>, a revolutionary product that promises to end the daily brushing battle for parents across India. Launched at a high-profile ceremony endorsed by the nation&rsquo;s top dental authority, the new toothpaste is the first in India to harness the power of theobromine&mdash;a potent, naturally-occurring compound derived from unsweetened cocoa powder&mdash;as its active anti-cavity ingredient.</p><p>The product was officially unveiled by the General Secretary and President of the Indian Dental Association (IDA), alongside twelve other esteemed national dignitaries from the medical and regulatory fields. This level of endorsement underscores the significant shift Velura CHOCOPASTE represents in the oral care landscape, offering an effective, FDA-approved, and most importantly, genuinely fun alternative to traditional children&rsquo;s toothpaste.</p><p><strong>The Science of Sweet Success:&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>Theobromine Takes the Lead</strong></p><p>For generations, fluoride has been the cornerstone of anti-cavity treatment. However, Velura CHOCOPASTE is pioneering a new path by spotlighting theobromine. Theobromine is a non-toxic alkaloid found naturally in the cocoa bean, and scientific research&mdash;much of it gaining global traction in recent years&mdash;has shown that it can not only rebuild and strengthen tooth enamel (a process called remineralization) but can do so even more effectively than fluoride in certain concentrations.</p><p>Unlike the common misconception that chocolate causes cavities, the active ingredient in cocoa, theobromine, actually works as a protective agent. It helps the enamel crystals grow larger and stronger, making them significantly more resistant to the acid erosion that causes tooth decay. This key distinction is vital: the toothpaste uses unsweetened cocoa powder as the source of its active, enamel-protecting ingredient, ensuring the product is entirely sugar-free, cavity-fighting, and safe for young children who might accidentally swallow toothpaste. This combination of superior enamel protection and zero sugar completely redefines what a &ldquo;chocolate-flavored&rdquo; dental product means.</p><p><img src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxNjAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEyMDAiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxNjAwIDEyMDAiPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHN0eWxlPSJmaWxsOiNmZmZmZmY7ZmlsbC1vcGFjaXR5OiAwLjE7Ii8+PC9zdmc+" alt="" width="1600" height="1200"></p><p><strong>A Credentialed Launch: The Indian Dental Association&rsquo;s Stamp of Approval</strong></p><p>The official unveiling was held at the prestigious Indira Gandhi Prathisthan, Lucknow on 23 August 2025 and drew attention from the healthcare industry, media, and key government bodies. The presence of the IDA leadership, including Dr. Subhra Nandy, President of the IDA, and Dr. Ashok Dhoble, General Secretary, signaled the organization&rsquo;s proactive support for innovative, safe, and effective solutions that tackle India&rsquo;s pervasive issue of early childhood caries (ECC).</p><p>In his address at the launch, Dr. Subhra Nandy stated, &ldquo;The biggest hurdle in pediatric dental care is compliance. Children often resist brushing, leading to preventable health issues. Velura CHOCOPASTE is a brilliant confluence of cutting-edge dental science and practical child psychology. By making the brushing experience genuinely enjoyable with a flavour they love, it ensures consistency and, coupled with the proven enamel-boosting properties of theobromine, it represents a significant leap forward. The IDA is proud to support products that innovate within the regulatory framework while prioritizing child safety and effectiveness.&rdquo; The twelve other national dignitaries&mdash;representing pediatric health, regulatory affairs, and consumer safety&mdash;also lauded the product&rsquo;s innovative approach and robust safety profile, which includes essential FDA approval.</p><p><strong>Addressing India&rsquo;s Oral Health Crisis:&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>The Compliance Challenge</strong></p><p>India faces a staggering public health challenge in pediatric dental care, where the prevalence of early childhood caries remains alarmingly high, particularly in underserved and rural populations. Experts agree that the lack of consistent, diligent brushing, often compounded by difficulties in finding a toothpaste that children accept, is a primary driver of this crisis.</p><p>Traditional toothpaste flavours, such as mint or bubblegum, are frequently rejected by toddlers and young children, turning the simple act of oral hygiene into a frustrating daily confrontation for parents. Velura CHOCOPASTE&rsquo;s introduction of the first-ever chocolate-flavoured, theobromine-based toothpaste in India directly targets this behavioral barrier. By transforming a chore into a treat, it fosters positive associations with oral care from the earliest age, establishing healthy habits that are crucial for a lifetime.</p><p>&ldquo;We saw a simple problem: kids don&rsquo;t want to brush. And we found a sophisticated, natural solution: theobromine,&rdquo; said Dr J K Pushkar(Paediatrician), Co-founder and CEO of Velura. &ldquo;Our mission was to create a toothpaste that children would actively ask for, and with the delicious, guilt-free chocolate flavour derived from natural cocoa, we have achieved that. But this isn&rsquo;t just about flavour; it&rsquo;s about pioneering a natural, research-backed active ingredient that is safe to swallow, is non-toxic, and has demonstrated superior remineralization effects, giving parents peace of mind.&rdquo;</p><p><strong>Safety and Assurance: An FDA-Approved, Fluoride-Free Formulation</strong></p><p>A key factor driving parental enthusiasm is the product&rsquo;s commitment to safety. For young children still developing their swallowing reflex, the risk of ingesting too much fluoride, which can lead to dental fluorosis (discolouration of the enamel), is a common concern. Velura CHOCOPASTE completely eliminates this risk by being a fluoride-free formulation.</p><p>The product&rsquo;s FDA approval confirms that every element&mdash;from the unsweetened cocoa used to source theobromine to the final manufacturing process&mdash;meets the most stringent international and national safety standards. The formulation also avoids harmful chemicals, artificial colours, and harsh abrasives, positioning it as a truly natural and safe option that aligns with the growing demand from Indian parents for gentle, non-toxic alternatives for their children&rsquo;s well-being.</p><p><strong>Revolutionizing the Market: A Game-Changer for Parents</strong></p><p>The launch is expected to trigger a tectonic shift in the kids&rsquo; oral care segment. Industry analysts predict that Velura CHOCOPASTE will rapidly capture significant market share by solving the compliance issue that has plagued the industry for decades. For parents struggling with children aged 2-6, this product offers a welcome solution, turning a moment of tension into a moment of natural reward.</p><p>Furthermore, Velura has committed to comprehensive educational campaigns, in partnership with the IDA, to inform parents and pediatricians about the science of theobromine, ensuring that the public understands the profound difference between the harmful sugar in chocolate and the protective, beneficial alkaloid found in natural cocoa. These campaigns will stress that the toothpaste&rsquo;s active nature is rooted in science, not just taste, and its use of unsweetened cocoa is fundamental to its health premise.</p><p>Velura CHOCOPASTE is now available across major pharmacies, retail chains, and e-commerce platforms nationwide. The company encourages all parents to embrace this &ldquo;chocolate revolution&rdquo; and experience the joy of effortless, effective brushing.</p><p><strong>About Velura:</strong></p><p>Velura is a fast-growing Indian brand dedicated to creating innovative, science-backed natural wellness and personal care products. Driven by a mission to Nurture Naturally, Velura integrates traditional wisdom with modern research to offer safe, effective, and delightful solutions for children and families.</p><p>Website: <a href="http://www.veluraindia.com/">www.veluraindia.com</a></p><p>If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 31:</strong> The National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA), Mumbai, India&rsquo;s premier institution for the performing arts, proudly presents <em>Aamchi Mumbai</em>&nbsp;&mdash; an immersive evening that celebrates the soul of the city through the eyes of one of India&rsquo;s most distinguished poets and writers,&nbsp;<strong>Gulzar</strong>.</p><p><strong>Curated and presented by eminent thespian Salim Arif</strong>, with&nbsp;<strong>music composed by Amod Bhatt</strong>, the presentation features&nbsp;<strong>Gulzar</strong>, alongside acclaimed singers&nbsp;<strong>Vibhavari Apte-Joshi</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Hrishikesh Ranade</strong>, accompanied by a live ensemble of musicians.</p><p>In a career spanning over five decades, Gulzar has given voice to the country&rsquo;s deepest emotions &mdash; as a filmmaker, lyricist, and poet writing in Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi, and through translations from Bangla. Since the time he arrived in (then) Bombay in the late 1950s, the Oscar-winning poet has looked at the city and its dwellers with a nuanced sensitivity and insight. Making a poignant comment on the relationship of a common, and not so common man with Mumbai, his poems cover several aspects of the ever-changing city life, revealing a perspective which bears the stamp of the master poet.</p><p><em>Aamchi Mumbai</em>&nbsp;is conceived and woven together by Salim Arif, a well-known writer and director. A blend of sounds, rhythms and images, the event is a vivacious collage of Gulzar&rsquo;s poems and insightful experiences about the mahanagar of Mumbai, and the life of people living on the edge in the bustling metropolis.</p><p>The evening promises to make a definitive statement on this eclectic and dynamic city by one of its most accomplished and admired poets. The event takes off with Gulzar in conversation with Arif on how he has seen the city change over the last 60 years. This will be interspersed with a presentation of songs based on select poems of Gulzar set to music by Amod Bhatt and performed by two well-known singers, Vibhavari Apte-Joshi and Hrishikesh Ranade. In a rousing finale, the celebrated poet will himself recite a few poems creating a wholesome experience for the discerning audience.</p><p>&ldquo;<em>Through Gulzar saab&rsquo;s verses, Mumbai emerges as more than a city &mdash; it becomes a living, breathing muse that holds a mirror to our own lives,</em>&rdquo; says&nbsp;<strong>Dr. Suvarnalata Rao, Head &ndash; Indian Music, NCPA</strong>. &ldquo;<em>We are honoured to present this special production by one of the country&rsquo;s most revered artistes, and deeply grateful to our patrons whose unwavering support enables the NCPA to curate such meaningful cultural experiences.</em>&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;<em>At JSW, we believe that art and culture are integral to shaping an inclusive and an inspired society. Supporting Aamchi Mumbai &mdash; an ode to our own city through the timeless words of Gulzar saab &mdash; aligns perfectly with our endeavour to preserve and promote the country&rsquo;s rich cultural heritage through the celebration of Mumbai&rsquo;s enduring creative spirit</em>,&rdquo;&nbsp;<strong>says Mrs. Sangita Jindal, Chairperson, JSW Foundation.</strong>&nbsp;&ldquo;<em>Our association with the NCPA reflects our shared commitment to nurturing India&rsquo;s artistic heritage and bringing it closer to audiences across generations.&rdquo;</em></p><p>The NCPA gratefully acknowledges the generous support of its sponsors &mdash; JSW as Principal Sponsor, BPCL (Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited) as Associate Sponsor, and the Pirojsha Godrej Foundation for their continued encouragement. Their partnership plays a vital role in enabling the NCPA to bring audiences world-class programmes that celebrate India&rsquo;s artistic and cultural legacy. &nbsp;<a href="http://www.ncpamumbai.com/">www.ncpamumbai.com</a></p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><em>Vedic Meet an Astrology consultancy platform &ndash; only top 3% astrologers &ndash; changing the astrology world by removing fake astrologers and leading a billion-dollar trusted&nbsp;revolution.</em></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], October 31: </strong>These days, everyone wants to know about their future. Life has become so unpredictable that we often have no idea what will happen next. Many people feel lost and confused, with no proper guidance or direction. Because of this, we keep asking others for advice, but still never find real solutions to our problems.</p><p>To bridge this growing gap between belief and real guidance, Mahi Kashyap, the Founder and CEO of&nbsp;<a href="https://vedicmeet.com/online-astrologer">Vedic Meet</a>, built a platform designed to make the future certain &ndash; not by predictions alone, but through true understanding and direction.</p><p>Vedic Meet is an <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vedicmeet.user&amp;hl=en">astrology consultation platform</a>. Vedic Meet is created with one clear purpose: to help people face life with clarity, confidence, and peace. In today&rsquo;s world, most solutions are psychological &ndash; they may comfort people for a while, but rarely solve the real cause. Vedic Meet changes that by combining the Vedic knowledge with modern astrological insights to address the root of life&rsquo;s challenges.</p><p>Whether it&rsquo;s about career, relationships, health, finances, or family, Vedic Meet helps people understand what lies ahead so they can take the right steps today. It&rsquo;s not just about telling the future &ndash; it&rsquo;s about helping people live the present without fear or confusion, and preparing them for what&rsquo;s coming next.</p><p>Today, there are many apps that claim to tell the future or give guidance. But in reality, most of them confuse people and never truly solve their problems. They just focus on business, not on real help. They keep suggesting talking to an astrologer, and those astrologers often recommend remedies or spells that are not based on real Vedic practices. They don&rsquo;t provide genuine Vedic remedies or mantras; instead, they suggest crystal stones, spells, and unnecessary poojas, which leave people feeling trapped while trying to find solutions to their problems.</p><p>There is a huge difference &ndash; most astrology applications focus only on selling products. There&rsquo;s nothing wrong with selling products, but when the entire focus is only on selling, it destroys people&rsquo;s trust and belief in astrology.</p><p>That&rsquo;s where the Vedic Meet astrology consultation platform is different. It focuses on finding the root cause of the problem so that it never repeats again. They spent years doing extensive research, surveys, and data studies to understand people&rsquo;s real-life struggles. They analysed how most existing astrology platforms only provide temporary comfort but fail to give long-term guidance.</p><p>After this deep research and countless interactions with people who are actively using other astrology consultation applications, we found a common problem of facing the same issues repeatedly and how astrologers manipulate them to make them do totkas and unauthentic remedies, but in reality, they do not work. This is how the Vedic Meet astrology consultation application was created &ndash; a platform designed to give real, personalised guidance and complete, practical solutions using the power of ancient Vedic knowledge and astrology.</p><p>Vedic Meet has also introduced unique tools like the Vastu Compass and India&rsquo;s first problem-specific Vedic Mantra Meditation, designed to help people stay prepared for the future and live peacefully in the present.</p><p><strong>Top 3% Astrologers:<br>
</strong>Earlier, it was the top 5%, but now the Vedic Meet has decided to onboard only the most exceptional expert astrologers. Every astrologer on the Vedic Meet app goes through a six-level, strict selection process. Their certificates are verified directly from their institutes, and their knowledge, communication skills, empathy, and ethics are carefully tested. They must score above 70% and solve real-life test cases before being approved. Even after joining, their performance is continuously monitored. That&rsquo;s why only the top 3% of astrologers are part of the Vedic Meet astrology consultation application.</p><p><strong>Authentic Vedic Remedies:<br>
</strong>The platform never suggests black magic, negative rituals or totkas. One can get only pure Vedic remedies that are mentioned in ancient scriptures and are completely safe and effective.</p><p><strong>Vedic Meditation:<br>
</strong>This feature helps calm the mind, remove negative thoughts, and bring emotional balance &ndash; something we all need in today&rsquo;s stressful life.</p><p><strong>Vastu Compass:<br>
</strong>Vedic Meet features a unique Vastu Compass &ndash; the world&rsquo;s first tool that provides a complete home analysis report and detects potential problems caused by incorrect Vastu alignment.</p><p><strong>Explore Section:<br>
</strong>The Explore section is designed to keep users informed and inspired every day. It offers fresh daily content, including useful remedies, Vedic insights, astrology updates, and practical tips to handle everyday challenges. From understanding planetary effects to discovering simple ways to improve well-being, the explore section helps stay connected, aware, and balanced in daily life.</p><p>Unlike many astrology apps, where remedies cost more than the actual consultation, Vedic Meet believes that true remedies should never be sold. Their goal is to provide authentic and effective Vedic remedies that are mentioned in the ancient Vedic Shastras &ndash; and they come at no extra cost. Everything is completely transparent, with no hidden or unnecessary charges.</p><p>At Vedic Meet, customers&rsquo; privacy is the top priority. All the chats, personal details, and payment information are protected with end-to-end encryption &ndash; meaning no one, not even their team, can access the customers&rsquo; private conversations. We use secure servers, encrypted data storage, and strict access control to ensure the information remains safe at every step. Every interaction on the app stays completely confidential, giving users a secure and trusted consultation experience.</p><p>Vedic Meet is the best astrology consultation application, promising to bring stability, security, and growth to everyone&rsquo;s life. With real astrology and true knowledge, users get clear direction and lasting solutions.</p><p>And right now, there&rsquo;s a special offer running on the app! Don&rsquo;t miss it &ndash; download the Vedic Meet astrology consultation app today from the Play Store or App Store and start the journey toward a better, problem-free life.</p><p><em> If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

<p>Aditi, a 33-year-old lawyer based in Mumbai, is much more than a legal professional. She is a certified coach specializing in Tarot, Business, Relationship, and Child Counseling, with a powerful mission: to guide individuals toward clarity and empowerment in every aspect of life. Her debut book,&nbsp;<em>Behind the Veil: A Journey of Identity</em>, is a profound reflection of her personal struggles, survival, and unwavering hope&mdash;a testament to the power of reclaiming one&rsquo;s identity in the face of adversity.</p><p><strong>The Author&rsquo;s Calling</strong></p><p>Aditi&rsquo;s journey as a writer began with a long-standing aspiration to share her story, although it took courage and time for her to step into this new chapter. For many years, the words remained silent, buried beneath doubt and fear. But inspired by the challenges she faced and the lessons she learned, she finally found the strength to give them voice. Her writing is not about perfection&mdash;it is about survival, healing, and hope.</p><p>Her book was born from the life experiences she encountered along her personal and professional journey. Every struggle, every moment of pain, and every triumph she lived through became a thread woven into the narrative of&nbsp;<em>Behind the Veil</em>. Aditi believes that if she could survive, anyone could rise again. Her story whispers of hope, encouraging readers to hold on, try again, and find their own path forward.</p><p><strong>What Lies Behind the Veil</strong></p><p><em>Behind the Veil: A Journey of Identity</em>&nbsp;is more than a memoir; it is a mirror of resilience. Within its pages, readers don&rsquo;t just find Aditi&rsquo;s story&mdash;they find reflections of their own struggles, strength, and silent courage. The book invites introspection, urging readers to remove the masks they wear and confront their own identities with authenticity and grace.</p><p>Aditi&rsquo;s narrative is unflinchingly honest, offering glimpses into the darkest chapters of her life where identity was questioned, dreams were shattered, and hope seemed elusive. Yet, what emerges is not despair but an inspiring message: identity can be reclaimed, dreams can be revived, and life can be lived with purpose.</p><p>Her story resonates especially with individuals navigating personal and professional crossroads, those grappling with self-doubt, and anyone searching for the courage to embrace their true self. The book serves as a gentle companion for moments of uncertainty, a reminder that even after profound darkness, there is light waiting to be rediscovered.</p><p><strong>Beyond Writing: Guiding Others</strong></p><p>Alongside her writing, Aditi dedicates her life to empowering others in multifaceted ways. As a Tarot reader, business and relationship coach, and child counselor, she helps people uncover clarity, heal from past wounds, and step into empowered versions of themselves. Her holistic approach combines intuitive insight with practical guidance, making her a trusted mentor for many.</p><p>Her commitment to growth and transformation doesn&rsquo;t stop with her debut book. Aditi is already working on future projects, including explorations in spiritual writing and horror genres&mdash;an indication of her evolving literary journey. Her aim is to continue writing not only from personal experiences but also to explore universal themes that touch the human spirit.</p><p><strong>A Message to Aspiring Writers</strong></p><p>For budding writers, Aditi&rsquo;s message is clear and empowering: &ldquo;Trust that the path ahead is yours to walk with courage, for your journey is already unfolding, and doubt has no place where passion leads the way.&rdquo; She encourages writers to embrace honesty over perfection, believing that the stories born from survival and healing hold the deepest power.</p><p>Each word she pens, every chapter she shares, is offered with the hope that it may become a source of strength for someone else. She writes not to impress, but to heal&mdash;not to showcase perfection, but to reflect authenticity.</p><p><strong>An Invitation of Hope</strong></p><p><em>Behind the Veil: A Journey of Identity</em>&nbsp;is available on&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.in/d/eOF9WY9">Amazon</a>. It stands as a beacon for those who feel lost, unseen, or overwhelmed by life&rsquo;s challenges. Aditi&rsquo;s book is more than just words on paper; it&rsquo;s a companion that reminds readers of their inherent strength, the courage to face their fears, and the power to live life authentically.</p><p>Her story is not just hers&mdash;it is a conversation with anyone seeking hope, resilience, and the freedom to be themselves. Every page holds a piece of Aditi&rsquo;s truth, offered so that others may find strength in their own.</p><p>Available now on:&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.in/d/eOF9WY9">https://amzn.in/d/eOF9WY9</a></p><p>If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

<p><b><i>"In all that laughter and joy, there is always a small voyage of missing my father. His absence is deeply felt..., says Seerat Kapoor&nbsp; On Recalling Her Early Childhood days</i></b></p><p>Diwali &mdash; the festival of lights &mdash; has always been one of India&rsquo;s most cherished celebrations, evoking memories of childhood wonder, family gatherings and homes lit with love and laughter. Actress Seerat Kapoor opens up about her cherished memories, personal reflections and how she keeps the spirit of Diwali alive, even when work takes her miles away from home.</p><p>For Seerat, Diwali has always been more than just a celebration; it&rsquo;s a festival that symbolizes love, gratitude and inner peace.</p><p>Recalling her Childhood days celebration, she says, As a child, Diwali was pure magic,&rdquo; Seerat recalls fondly. &ldquo;I remember helping my mother decorate the house with diyas and rangoli, waiting excitedly to wear new clothes and running around with my cousins. There was laughter everywhere, the aroma of sweets in every corner and this unspoken joy that everyone shared. However in all that laughter and joy, there is always a small voyage of missing my father, because those memories of him being around with us never fade. His absence is deeply felt, especially during moments like these. But I believe he&rsquo;s always with us in spirit, blessing us and sharing our joy from wherever he is. &rdquo;Those are memories that never fade, only settle deeper into the heart.&rdquo;</p><p>Over the years, her demanding shooting schedules have sometimes kept her away from family during the festive season. Yet, Seerat has found her own way to embrace the warmth of Diwali, no matter where she is.</p><p>&ldquo;There have been many times when work has kept me away from home during Diwali,&rdquo; she shares. &ldquo;But I&rsquo;ve learned to recreate that spirit wherever I am. Even on set, I make it a point to light diyas, share sweets with the crew and connect with my family virtually for a small puja. There&rsquo;s something incredibly grounding about keeping those small traditions alive, no matter where you are. So, whether I&rsquo;m surrounded by my family or my film crew, I make it special in my own way. After all, the real essence of Diwali is carrying that light within you and sharing it with the people around you.</p><p>For the actress, Diwali also serves as a time for reflection and renewal &mdash; a pause to realign with gratitude and peace.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a time to cleanse, to start anew and to fill your heart with positivity,&rdquo; Seerat says. &ldquo;The true spirit of Diwali lies in that light we share with one another. Whether I&rsquo;m with my family or my film family, I try keeping that essence alive because light radiates from within.&rdquo;</p><p><br>

Her words beautifully capture what Diwali truly represents: not just the triumph of light over darkness, but the warmth of togetherness that keeps that light shining in our hearts. On the work front, Seerat is gearing up for her Pan Indian Film Jatasya Maranam Dhruvam all set to be released by the end of the year.</p>

<p>Jaipur's vibrant nightlife pulsed with excitement on a crisp Sunday evening as the grand finale of Mr. Rajasthan 2025 Season 4 unfolded at The Trade International Hotel on Ajmer Road. Organized by A Infinity Takeovers, this state-level spectacle celebrated the grit and glamour of Rajasthan's young men, offering a fresh platform for fashion, grooming, and personality growth in a region rich with royal heritage. For the 30 finalists&mdash;aged 18 to 35 and hailing from districts across the Desert State&mdash;it was the culmination of a grueling six-month journey that tested their mettle in ways few could imagine.</p><p>Show director Anup Choudhary, the driving force behind Rajasthan's first and largest men's pageant, reflected on the event's roots during a post-finale chat. "This isn't just a show; it's a challenge for the royal throne," he said, invoking the tagline that captured the essence of the competition. What began with online auditions snowballed into offline tryouts in key cities, intense interview rounds, and a final selection of these 30 standout models. Before stepping into the spotlight, participants immersed themselves in three days of transformative experiences: grooming sessions to polish their presence, talent rounds to reveal hidden skills, fitness challenges to sculpt their physiques, and self-styling exercises to own their look. Each step weeded out the ordinary, leaving only those who embodied confidence and charisma.</p><p>The finale itself was a feast for the eyes, featuring three meticulously curated fashion rounds where designer collections took center stage. Styling and makeovers were flawlessly handled by Danny's Unisex Salon owner Danny and his team, ensuring every finalist strutted with effortless elegance. As the top contenders vied for glory, the judging panel&mdash;comprising Mr. Rajasthan 2024 winner Karan Rajpurohit and second runner-up Vasisth Gehlot&mdash;evaluated them on poise, talent, and that indefinable spark. Their discerning eyes crowned Jodhpur's Raghuveer Bishnoi as the undisputed winner, a moment that erupted in cheers from the packed venue. Close behind were Kota's Keyur Sharma as first runner-up, Udaipur's Jyotendra Singh Jhala as second, Jaipur's Pranjal Saxena as third, and Sikar's Anurag Dhaka as fourth runner-up. Each placement acknowledged not just beauty, but the resilience forged through months of preparation.</p><p>Adding star power were chief guest Mukesh Bhakar, MLA from Ladnun, and special guest Kunji Lal Meena, IAS, whose presence lent an air of prestige to the proceedings.

<p><strong>Trivandrum (Kerala) [India], October 11:</strong> Malayalam cinema is set for a cinematic storm with the arrival of Swapnasundari, a high-voltage mystery thriller headlined by Bigg Boss Season 6 winner Jinto and Bigg Boss Season 2 sensation Dr. Rajith Kumar. The film is gearing up for a grand theatrical release across India on October 31, 2025, followed by an overseas premiere in the UK, Europe, and UAE on November 7, 2025. Backed by producers Salam B.T., Subin Babu, and Shaju C. George under the banners of S.S. Productions, Alphonsa Visual Media, and St. Mary&rsquo;s Associates Pvt. Ltd., and directed by the acclaimed K.J. Philip, the film is generating massive anticipation as one of the most awaited Malayalam releases of the year.</p><p>Set in the mysterious village of Manjadikunnu, the story explores a series of unexplained deaths of women that have unsettled the region. At its core is Thekkattil Zacharia Punnus, a powerful former District Panchayat President, and his son John Zacharia, both drawn into a sinister web of secrets and fear. The arrival of Shanu, a model in search of a missing girl, sets off a chain of revelations that lead to shocking truths and dangerous confrontations. Crafted by writers Royitta and Kumar Sen, with a gripping screenplay by Seethu Anson and dialogues by Seethu Anson and K.J. Philip, the narrative delves deep into human motives, buried secrets, and the darkness hiding beneath a seemingly peaceful village, promising edge-of-the-seat suspense and unpredictable twists.</p><p>The film features a powerhouse ensemble led by Jinto as John Zacharia, Dr. Rajith Kumar as Zakaria Punnose, and Sanif Ali as Shanu. They are joined by an extensive cast including *Sriram Mohan, Sajid Salam, Dr. Shinu Shyamalan, Divya Thomas, Sharlotte Sajeev, Sharon Sahim, Manisha Mohan, Shivaji Guruvayoor, Sajan Palluruthy, Pradeep Palluruthy, Swami Gangesananda, Nishad Kallingal, Benny Punnaram, Sabukrishna, Sunny Angamaly, Balasurya, Ajay Puramala, Firoz Babu, Ramesh Anappara, Ashiq, Shibu Ichamadam, Saiju Vathukkodath, Vijayan Kodenad, Basheer Moitheen, Abu Pattambi, Muhammed Perumbavoor, Rajesh Soman, Shameer Babu, Shansi Salam, Anna Angel, Janaki Devi, Arya Jayan, Raji Thomas, Raji Menon, Ambili Uma Maheswari, Afrin Vakkayil, Nasrin, Peelikrishna and many more. Each performance adds depth and authenticity, ensuring that the film delivers a cinematic experience that resonates long after the final frame.</p><p>Behind the camera, Swapnasundari brings together an exceptional technical crew. Royitta and Sanoop handle cinematography, Grayson A.C.A. takes charge of editing, and Dr. Shansi Salam leads production control. Sunny Sanghamitra shapes the film&rsquo;s visual tone as art director, while choreography is directed by Bineesh Kumar (Koyilandy). The makeup artistry of Shinu Orange and costumes by Annamachi add layers of realism to the characters. Lyricists Sudarshan Puthoor, Subhash Cherthala, Jerin Raj Kulathinal, Hamsa Kunnathery, and Femin Francis bring poetic brilliance, while the music is composed by Ajith Sukumaran, Hamsa Kunnathery, Vishnu Mohanakrishnan, and Femin Francis. Vocals by Najim Arshad, Pradeep Palluruthy, Siddharth Shankar, Imran Khan, Arun C. Idukki, Shobha Shivani, Devananda Rajesh Menon, and Mithunya Bineesh elevate the emotional core of the film&rsquo;s soundtrack.</p><p>The film&rsquo;s creative backbone is further strengthened by associate directors Madhu R. Pillai, Muhammed Sajid, Ashiq, and Chris John, with Fathima Sherin helming the project design. DI is managed by Jithin Kumbukattu, and stills and VFX are executed by Golden Frames. Publicity is overseen by Rahim Panavoor, with PR campaigns driven by Team SMA and Malayalam News Today. High-intensity action sequences are choreographed by Jinto Body Craft and Madhu R.

The production spans striking backdrops including Pooppara, Munnar, Thalayolaparambu, Aluva, Muscat, and Abu Dhabi, enhancing the film&rsquo;s visual appeal and atmosphere.</p><p>Distributed by St. Mary&rsquo;s Associates, Himucri Creations, and Geetham Release, Swapnasundari is positioned as a landmark Malayalam release that fuses star power, gripping storytelling, and technical brilliance. With Jinto and Dr. Rajith Kumar leading a stellar cast and K.J. Philip steering a mystery-laden narrative, the film is poised to captivate audiences both in India and across international markets. As anticipation builds for its October 31, 2025 release in India and November 7, 2025 release overseas, Swapnasundari is ready to redefine the Malayalam thriller landscape and deliver a cinematic experience that is intense, emotional, and unforgettable.</p><p>For more details:</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/kfFQiURv9do?si=gQoInP3jCrJKpwBo">https://youtu.be/kfFQiURv9do?si=gQoInP3jCrJKpwBo</a></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/IaCE7t58SIo?si=-f3EkACFA0csOGjD">https://youtu.be/IaCE7t58SIo?si=-f3EkACFA0csOGjD</a></p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], October 15: </strong>Every dream begins with a spark &mdash; a quiet whisper that urges the heart to express, to perform, and to create. For PRIYANKA SINGH, that spark ignited in childhood, when she first stepped onto the stage during her school&rsquo;s annual function. The applause, the laughter, the lights &mdash; everything about performing stirred something deep within her. She was not merely acting; she was living the emotions of every role she portrayed.</p><p>A graduate in B.Sc. with Chemistry and Biology, PRIYANKA was always a bright student, balancing academics with her love for performing arts. Her teachers often remarked that she possessed an extraordinary blend of intelligence and creativity &mdash; a rare combination that would later define her journey in the entertainment world. Whether it was a dance competition, a skit, or a singing performance, she never shied away from expressing herself with grace and conviction.</p><p>However, as life unfolded, responsibilities gradually replaced rehearsals, and the stage lights dimmed. After her graduation and marriage, PRIYANKA, like many talented women, gracefully prioritized her family and home. The rhythm of daily life took over &mdash; yet deep within, the performer in her never stopped dreaming. She often found herself humming songs, imitating film dialogues, and recreating dramatic moments while doing chores. The stage might have gone silent, but her spirit never did.</p><p>Then came the COVID-19 pandemic, a time of global uncertainty &mdash; and paradoxically, a moment of rediscovery for many. Locked indoors with her family, PRIYANKA began exploring new ways to stay positive and creative. The digital world, particularly TikTok, became her stage. With a smartphone as her camera and her imagination as her director, she started creating short, entertaining videos that reflected her lively spirit.</p><p><img src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMjAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEyMDAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojZmZmZmZmO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==" alt="" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>Her TikTok content quickly gained attention. Friends and strangers alike praised her expressions, dialogue delivery, and natural screen presence. She began receiving encouraging comments and messages, many suggesting that she should take acting seriously. For PRIYANKA, this unexpected appreciation rekindled her long-lost artistic passion.</p><p>But just as her digital journey was taking off, TikTok was banned in India. For many, it was a setback. For PRIYANKA, it was merely a redirection. She adapted swiftly to Instagram Reels, bringing with her the same energy, creativity, and emotional depth that her followers had loved. Her short videos showcased a variety of moods &mdash; from comedy and romance to social awareness and motivation. Each reel carried her signature authenticity, which made her stand out amidst countless creators.</p><p>The growing audience, likes, and encouraging feedback boosted her confidence. Yet, PRIYANKA knew that online fame was only the beginning. The performer within her longed for something deeper &mdash; a structured path that could transform her passion into a profession. She wanted to learn the craft of acting from its very roots &mdash; the voice, the body language, the emotion, the psychology of a character &mdash; everything that turns an actor into an artist.</p><p>It was during one of her social media explorations that she discovered the MFI Film &amp; TV Institute, located in Goregaon, Mumbai &mdash; a reputed institution known for shaping aspiring talents into professionals ready for the screen. Intrigued, PRIYANKA reached out and soon had a meeting with Mr. Manoj Maheshwar, the Founder and Managing Director of Maheshwar Film International Pvt. Ltd. (MFI).</p><p>That meeting turned out to be a turning point. Mr. Maheshwar, recognizing her enthusiasm and natural screen presence, encouraged her to formally join the Acting Training Course at MFI. For PRIYANKA, this was not just an enrollment &mdash; it was a commitment to her dream.</p><p>From the very first day at MFI, PRIYANKA immersed herself in the learning process. The training covered all aspects of performance &mdash; voice modulation, facial expression, dialogue delivery, camera presence, improvisation, and emotional memory.</p><p>Every class, every exercise, and every on-camera session was a revelation. Under the guidance of experienced mentors, she discovered new depths to her talent.</p><p>PRIYANKA recalls how nervous she was during her first camera test at the institute. &ldquo;I had butterflies in my stomach,&rdquo; she admits, &ldquo;but once the director said &lsquo;action,&rsquo; something magical happened &mdash; all fear vanished, and I became the character.&rdquo;</p><p>Her dedication didn&rsquo;t go unnoticed. Soon, she was offered an opportunity to perform in front of the camera for Maheshwar Film International Pvt. Ltd.&rsquo;s OTT web series &lsquo;SAAZISH &ndash; ZEHER.&rsquo; This was PRIYANKA&rsquo;s first professional on-screen performance, and she poured her heart into it. The experience not only honed her technical understanding of acting for the camera but also gave her a taste of the professional world she had long aspired to enter.</p><p>Her performance impressed the production team, leading to her being shortlisted for the upcoming feature film &lsquo;PHIR BHI HUM AAPKE HAIN&rsquo; and several other in-house projects under the MFI banner. Each audition, rehearsal, and workshop brought her closer to her dream &mdash; to transition &ldquo;from Reels to Real,&rdquo; from a social media performer to a professionally trained actress.</p><p>PRIYANKA credits MFI for transforming her perception of acting. &ldquo;Joining MFI was the best decision of my life,&rdquo; she says with gratitude. &ldquo;It not only gave me professional training but also instilled confidence in my abilities. The environment here is motivating &mdash; surrounded by creative minds, I learned that acting is not about imitation, but about understanding and truth.&rdquo;</p><p>She also acknowledges the support of her family, who encouraged her to follow her passion. Her journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and self-belief. Many people discover their dreams late, but PRIYANKA proves that it&rsquo;s never too late to chase them.</p><p>Today, as she stands poised to enter the entertainment industry with professional training and growing experience, PRIYANKA embodies the spirit of a modern Indian woman &mdash; balancing family, ambition, and creativity. Her story resonates with thousands who have suppressed their artistic aspirations under life&rsquo;s responsibilities. She has become an inspiration for homemakers, mothers, and young women who dream of expressing themselves through art.</p><p>From the small screen of a smartphone to the sets of a professional studio, PRIYANKA SINGH&rsquo;s journey reflects resilience, adaptability, and the courage to evolve. Her transition symbolizes how technology, when used creatively, can open doors to unexpected opportunities. What began as playful reels for self-expression has now become a serious and promising career in acting.</p><p>As she continues to train, perform, and grow, PRIYANKA keeps reminding herself of one golden truth &mdash; that dreams may pause, but they never die. They wait patiently for the right moment, the right guidance, and the right belief.</p><p>With her eyes set on the horizon and her heart full of determination, PRIYANKA SINGH is ready to make her mark on the Indian entertainment landscape. Her story &mdash; from reels to real &mdash; is not merely about fame, but about rediscovering one&rsquo;s true self through passion, perseverance, and purpose.</p><p>She concludes with a smile, &ldquo;If you truly love something, the universe will create a path for you to live it. For me, acting is not just performance &mdash; it&rsquo;s the rhythm of my soul.&rdquo;</p><p>Reference links:</p><p><a href="http://www.mfibollywood.in/">www.mfibollywood.in</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/manojmaheshwar?igsh=YnRwYTdhN3RybmFm">https://www.instagram.com/manojmaheshwar?igsh=YnRwYTdhN3RybmFm</a></p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], October 15:</strong> Every artist&rsquo;s journey begins with a spark &mdash; an inner calling that refuses to fade. For JAY HATODE, that spark was his fascination with human emotions, expressions, and the power to portray life through performance. A graduate by qualification and a talented tattoo artist by profession, JAY&rsquo;s life has always been defined by artistry and creative imagination. Yet, as his tattoo craft flourished, a deeper passion began to take shape &mdash; the passion for acting.</p><p>A Vision beyond the Canvas</p><p>From his early years, JAY found himself mesmerized by cinema &mdash; by the way actors brought characters to life, stirred emotions, and created entire worlds on screen. What began as admiration slowly transformed into determination. JAY no longer wanted to just watch stories unfold; he wanted to be part of storytelling itself.</p><p>He soon realized that natural talent alone was not enough to make a professional actor. True excellence, he believed, required training, discipline, and mentorship. With this conviction, JAY began his search for an institution that could refine his raw potential and prepare him for the professional film and television industry.</p><p>Discovering MFI Film &amp; TV Institute</p><p>JAY&rsquo;s quest was guided by the same precision and dedication that defined his tattoo artistry. He meticulously explored India&rsquo;s leading film and acting academies &mdash; comparing training modules, faculty profiles, practical exposure, and alumni achievements. Amid this search, one name consistently stood out: MFI Film &amp; TV Institute, a venture of Maheshwar Film International Pvt. Ltd.</p><p>MFI&rsquo;s holistic approach &mdash; combining academic rigor with real industry exposure &mdash; immediately caught JAY&rsquo;s attention. The institute&rsquo;s emphasis on learning through doing, its direct connection with professional productions, and the leadership of Founder &amp; Managing Director Mr. Manoj Maheshwar gave it a distinctive identity. To understand it better, JAY, accompanied by his parents, visited the institute &mdash; a visit that would shape the course of his creative journey.</p><p><img src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMjAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEyMDAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojZmZmZmZmO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==" alt="" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>A Turning Point: The MFI Experience</p><p>Stepping into MFI, JAY sensed an atmosphere charged with creativity and purpose. Classrooms buzzed with rehearsals, camera sessions, and dialogue workshops. Students were not just learning; they were living the art of performance.</p><p>Meeting Mr. Manoj Maheshwar proved to be a defining moment. Their interaction extended beyond admission formalities &mdash; it became a conversation about acting as a process of inner discovery. Mr. Maheshwar shared MFI&rsquo;s philosophy of transforming enthusiasm into disciplined artistry through practical exposure and real-time mentorship.</p><p>Equally inspiring was the institute&rsquo;s close association with Maheshwar Film International Pvt. Ltd., enabling students to work on ongoing film and web projects during training &mdash; a unique opportunity few academies offered. Encouraged by this vision and supported by his parents, JAY decided to join MFI&rsquo;s Advanced Acting Training Program.</p><p>Transforming Passion into Craft</p><p>JAY&rsquo;s training at MFI exceeded expectations. He soon discovered that acting was not merely about dialogue delivery or emotional display, but about understanding human experience. Under the guidance of seasoned mentors, he studied body language, voice modulation, timing, and camera presence.</p><p>Through intensive workshops, improvisational exercises, and character analysis sessions, JAY learned to explore his emotional depth and authenticity. He particularly valued MFI&rsquo;s mentorship-driven approach, where every student received personal guidance and constructive feedback. This nurturing environment helped JAY evolve not only as an actor but as a more self-aware individual.</p><p>From Classroom to Camera: &ldquo;SHUBH MUHURT&rdquo;</p><p>JAY&rsquo;s talent and dedication soon earned him a significant breakthrough. While still in training, he was selected to perform in &ldquo;SHUBH MUHURT,&rdquo; a one-hour feature film produced by Maheshwar Film International Pvt. Ltd.</p><p>Working on a professional set offered JAY first-hand experience of the film industry &mdash; understanding lighting, continuity, and direction. &ldquo;SHUBH MUHURT&rdquo; became a defining milestone, validating his training and strengthening his resolve to pursue acting as a lifelong career.</p><p>Next Chapter: &ldquo;SAAZISH &ndash; BENAQAAB&rdquo;</p><p>Building on this success, JAY was cast in another MFI production &mdash; the web series &ldquo;SAAZISH &ndash; BENAQAAB.&rdquo; The project demanded sustained emotional depth across episodes, testing his adaptability and discipline. The experience refined his screen presence, taught him the balance between spontaneity and precision, and deepened his respect for the filmmaking process.</p><p>Emerging into the Professional Sphere</p><p>Today, JAY HATODE stands poised at the threshold of a promising acting career. With rigorous training, professional exposure, and growing recognition, he has begun receiving opportunities from external production houses. His expanding portfolio of films and web projects showcases his versatility and evolving artistry.</p><p>JAY credits his transformation to the structured mentorship and exposure provided by MFI Film &amp; TV Institute and Maheshwar Film International Pvt. Ltd. The institute, he says, turned his dream into a direction, his passion into purpose.</p><p>A Message to Aspiring Artists</p><p>Reflecting on his journey, JAY offers heartfelt advice to aspiring actors:</p><p>&ldquo;When I joined MFI, I was passionate but uncertain about where to start. The institute gave me focus, confidence, and the chance to work in real productions. The support of Mr. Manoj Maheshwar and the MFI faculty turned my aspiration into reality. For anyone serious about acting, this is where your true journey begins.&rdquo;</p><p>Conclusion</p><p>From tattoo artistry to the silver screen, JAY HATODE&rsquo;s story represents the fusion of creativity, commitment, and mentorship. His journey is not only a personal triumph but also a reflection of MFI Film &amp; TV Institute&rsquo;s mission &mdash; nurturing talent into professionalism and empowering artists to express the human spirit through cinema.</p><p>Reference links:</p><p><a href="http://www.mfibollywood.in/">www.mfibollywood.in</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/manojmaheshwar?igsh=YnRwYTdhN3RybmFm">https://www.instagram.com/manojmaheshwar?igsh=YnRwYTdhN3RybmFm</a></p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

	India&rsquo;s biggest Punjabi pop icon, Diljit Dosanjh, will bring his chart-topping Aura Tour 2025 to AXA Wonderland, West Kowloon on Sunday, September 28, 2025.

	&nbsp;</p><p>
	This milestone stop in Hong Kong is part of a larger journey for Dosanjh, whose global rise has been nothing short of extraordinary.</p><p>

For the more adventurous, Hong Kong&rsquo;s rugged outdoors offers island-hopping, scenic hikes, and water sports just minutes from the city centre.</p><p>
	&nbsp;</p><p>
	Those choosing to extend their stay beyond the weekend can witness one of Hong Kong&rsquo;s most iconic cultural spectacles - the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance, held during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The fiery ritual, passed down for generations, is one of the city&rsquo;s most photographed celebrations and a vivid reminder of Hong Kong&rsquo;s cultural richness.</p><p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p><br></p><p>New Delhi [India], October 2 : October is globally observed as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when the pink ribbon takes over cityscapes, workplaces, and social media feeds. But behind the symbolism lies an urgent question for India: Are we doing enough to address breast cancer not just through treatment, but through prevention?</p><p>According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), breast cancer has now overtaken cervical cancer as the most common cancer among Indian women. What&rsquo;s equally alarming is its increasing prevalence among younger women, many of them mothers balancing careers, caregiving, and personal health.</p><p>This is where nutrition quietly steps in as an overlooked, yet powerful shield. Emerging research points to the role of balanced diets rich in fiber, antioxidants, plant-based proteins, and essential micronutrients in lowering cancer risks. For mothers, who often shape the family&rsquo;s food habits, the impact of such choices goes beyond their own health&mdash;it influences their children&rsquo;s long-term well-being too.</p><p><br></p><p>The Science of Prevention: A Nutritious Approach</p><p>Prevention is not just about annual check-ups. It begins every day at the dining table. When mothers choose clean, nutrient-dense foods, they aren&rsquo;t just reducing their own risks&mdash;they&rsquo;re shaping the health trajectory of the next generation. A diet rich in the following can be particularly protective:</p><p>Fiber:&nbsp;Found in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes, fiber helps regulate hormones and remove toxins from the body.</p><p>Antioxidants:&nbsp;These powerful compounds, abundant in colorful fruits and vegetables (e.g., berries, spinach, and bell peppers), combat cellular damage caused by free radicals, which can lead to cancer development.</p><p>Plant-based proteins:&nbsp;Choosing plant-based proteins over red and processed meats can lower cancer risk. Lentils, chickpeas, tofu, and nuts are excellent sources.</p><p>Essential micronutrients:&nbsp;Vitamins and minerals like Vitamin D and calcium have been shown to play a role in reducing breast cancer risk.</p><p><br></p><p>Beyond Awareness: Toward a Pink Economy</p><p>The concept of an &lsquo;India&rsquo;s Pink Economy&rsquo; is emerging where awareness, healthcare, nutrition, and corporate social responsibility converge. Breast cancer awareness is no longer just a health issue; it is also a business opportunity to create meaningful impact.</p><p>As consumers increasingly demand wellness products with purpose, companies like Nutribray are finding themselves at the intersection of commerce and care. For every product designed for maternal and child nutrition, the brand is also investing in awareness campaigns and community nutrition education during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.</p><p>"Silent struggles like maternal mental health and overlooked risks like breast cancer need collective attention,&rdquo; says the spokesperson. &ldquo;Brands must step up, not only to provide healthier options but also to spark conversations that change how India thinks about prevention.&rdquo;</p><p><br></p><p>The Way Forward</p><p>As India grapples with rising cancer numbers and maternal health challenges, the conversation must shift from cure to care, from treatment to prevention. Nutrition is not the silver bullet, but it is the first shield&mdash;one that is affordable, accessible, and profoundly influential.</p><p>In the words of public health experts: &ldquo;A mother nourishes a family. If we protect her, we protect everyone.&rdquo;</p><p>This October, as the pink ribbons flutter across cities, perhaps it&rsquo;s time to see the color not just as a symbol of awareness, but as a reminder of something deeper&mdash;that prevention begins on our plate, and mothers are leading the way.</p>

<p><strong>New York [New York], October 9:</strong> In the bustling heart of New York&rsquo;s theatre district, where countless stories unfold nightly, actor and producer Harsh Desai is carving out a space uniquely his own. His mission is simple yet profound: to bring authentic South Asian stories to the world stage, told through the lens of modern humanity.</p><p>Born and raised in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Desai&rsquo;s journey to acting was anything but ordinary. Coming from a family rooted in business and science, the performing arts were never an obvious path. Yet at 22, Desai leaped &mdash; moving to New York with a dream and an unwavering conviction.</p><p>&ldquo;I wasn&rsquo;t surrounded by artists,&rdquo;&nbsp;he recalls.&nbsp;&ldquo;But I knew I had stories worth telling&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;stories from India and South Asia that hadn&rsquo;t been seen or understood in the West.&rdquo;</p><p>Since then, Desai has built an impressive and emotionally diverse body of work. On stage, he&rsquo;s played roles that traverse cultures and reveal the universality of emotion. In The Six Paths at Theatre for the New City, his portrayal of a demon discovering human compassion blended Indian and Vietnamese spirituality. In Katha: The India Story, he brought mythic characters like Bhishma and Vyasa to life, ending the production with a vibrant Raj Kapoor-inspired finale. And with On the Line &mdash; his first major Off-Broadway acting and producing venture &mdash; Desai proved his creative range with a darkly comic heist story that resonated deeply with New York audiences.</p><p>His film work has been equally dynamic &mdash; from leading as Jack in Blind Luck to supporting roles in Leafy and Man Finds Friend. Across media, Desai&rsquo;s work is unified by his devotion to telling stories that matter.</p><p>&ldquo;My vision is to portray South Asian narratives on the stage here in New York,&rdquo;&nbsp;Desai explains.&nbsp;&ldquo;Not just mythology, but the everyday lives, humor, contradictions, and beauty of our people. These are human stories&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;and I believe audiences everywhere are ready for them.&rdquo;</p><p>Looking ahead, Desai&rsquo;s upcoming projects are set to deepen his artistic footprint. He will soon appear in Kasturba vs. Gandhi, directed by Rupaalii Sonwani, and How to Feed a Soul, directed by Mrugesh Thakor, where he will be playing lead and pivotal roles.</p><p>Both productions, Desai says, &ldquo;reflect the kind of stories that fulfil my vision as an artist. They&rsquo;re powerful, rooted in truth, and take me one step closer to the kind of storytelling I came here to do.&rdquo;</p><p>Having trained at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre &amp; Film Institute, Desai combines classical method technique with an emotional honesty drawn from his Indian roots. His performances have earned him recognition as part of a new generation of actors reshaping how South Asian identity is seen on Western stages.</p><p>As he continues to build bridges between continents&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;bringing the emotional depth of Indian storytelling to the global stage&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;one thing is certain:</p><p><strong>Harsh Desai isn&rsquo;t just performing roles. He&rsquo;s redefining who gets to tell the stories of our time.</strong></p><p><em>If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

<p><em>Parfait Pluss &ndash; India&rsquo;s first full-scale lifestyle marketplace</em></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], October 9: </strong><a href="https://www.parfaitpluss.com/">Parfait Pluss</a>, India&rsquo;s first dedicated plus-size lifestyle marketplace, is set to officially launch this October&mdash;ushering in a new era of inclusivity in fashion, wellness, and lifestyle for the country&rsquo;s 300+ million plus-size individuals.</p><p>Originally launched in 2019 as part of the global lingerie brand Parfait (USA), the company entered India through the FDI route and quickly became a pioneer in plus-size lingerie. Over seven years of operations, Parfait built a loyal consumer base and a strong reputation for delivering stylish, size-inclusive lingerie&mdash;filling a critical gap in India&rsquo;s fashion industry.</p><p>From 2019 to July 2025, Parfait operated through shop-in-shop formats, leading e-commerce platforms, and its own D2C website. Key milestones include:</p><p>From August 2025, the brand transitions into&nbsp;<strong>Parfait Pluss</strong>&mdash;a 100% Indian-owned company under the leadership of&nbsp;<strong>Akhil Kumar Srivastava</strong>, alumnus of NIFT Delhi with over 20 years of retail fashion experience at Walmart and Landmark Group.</p><p>As the Managing Director and shareholder since 2019, Akhil has spearheaded Parfait&rsquo;s India journey. With Parfait Pluss, he now envisions creating the&nbsp;<strong>world&rsquo;s first global e-commerce marketplace dedicated entirely to plus-size consumers</strong>, starting with India and the USA.</p><p>The core team driving this vision includes&nbsp;<strong>Vartika Srivastava, Meghna Mohita, Gorav Nayyar, Saloni Ostwal, Nitu Mittal and Yuvan Srivastav</strong></p><p>India has over 300 million plus-size individuals (35% of adults), yet fewer than 10% of brands offer sizing beyond XL. The Indian plus-size fashion market alone is projected to exceed USD $1.3 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 8%.</p><p>Beyond fashion, this community remains underserved in personal care, wellness, accessories, and lifestyle services. With rising digital adoption, body-positivity movements, and demand from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, the timing is perfect for a specialized, inclusive platform like Parfait Pluss.</p><p><strong>Vision (2025&ndash;2030):<br>
</strong>To build India&rsquo;s first and largest plus-size lifestyle marketplace, and expand globally, empowering plus-size individuals in all areas of life.</p><p><strong>Mission:<br>
</strong>To serve the unique needs of plus-size men and women by offering:</p><p>The official launch of&nbsp;<strong>Parfait Pluss</strong>&nbsp;this October marks the beginning of a revolutionary marketplace built exclusively for the plus-size community. With a bold message of independence and dignity, the brand is committed to creating a space where every individual feels represented, valued, and empowered.</p><p><strong>&ldquo;India achieved freedom in 1947. But our plus-size community still awaits freedom in fashion, comfort, and dignity. Parfait Pluss is here to give them that independence.&rdquo;</strong></p><p><strong>Collaboration Invitation-</strong>Parfait Pluss is actively inviting Indian startups, MSMEs, and scale-up brands that are building size-inclusive, problem-solving products or services. Together, we aim to create a global platform that places plus-size consumers at the center of design, innovation, and lifestyle&mdash;starting from India, for the world.</p><p>Parfait Pluss is India&rsquo;s first full-scale lifestyle marketplace dedicated to the plus-size community. Transitioning from Parfait (USA), the brand is now a 100% Indian-owned entity committed to building inclusivity in fashion, wellness, and lifestyle. With a vision to empower over 300 million plus-size Indians, Parfait Pluss strives to become a global leader in size-inclusive retail.</p><p><strong>Parfait Pluss &ndash; For Every Size. For Every Story.</strong></p><p><em> If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

<p><em>Easy Boba Launches Limited-Edition &lsquo;Cheese Foam Shakes&rsquo; Across Select Outlets in Mumbai, Blending Dessert Comfort with Caf&eacute; Innovation</em></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 10: </strong>India&rsquo;s authentic bubble tea brand, <strong><a href="http://www.easyboba.in/">Easy Boba</a></strong>, just dropped something wild &mdash; &ldquo;Cheese Foam Shakes.&rdquo; They&rsquo;re creamy, unapologetically indulgent, and the brand&rsquo;s first-ever non-vegan line.</p><p>If bubble tea had a decadent cousin, this would be it. Easy Boba&rsquo;s new <strong>Cheese Foam Shakes</strong> blur the line between dessert and drink &mdash; a bold move that blends creamy milkshake nostalgia with the textural kick of tapioca pearls.</p><p>Each shake is topped with a <strong>velvety cheese foam</strong>, whisked right into the cup to form a luscious, cloud-like layer. This is not your regular froth &mdash; it&rsquo;s a rich, dessert-style topping that balances sweet and savory in one sip. It&rsquo;s weirdly addictive &mdash; like tiramisu met bubble tea at a Mumbai caf&eacute; and decided to stay.</p><p>The new range is available in <strong>ten flavors</strong> that read like a dessert hall of fame: Red Velvet, Mango, Nutella, French Vanilla, Belgian Chocolate, Salted Caramel, Cookies &amp; Cr&egrave;me, Ceremonial Matcha, Lotus Biscoff, and Blueberry.</p><p>This launch marks Easy Boba&rsquo;s <strong>first non-vegan product</strong>, a gutsy pivot for a brand known for dairy-free options. &ldquo;We wanted to take the comfort of dessert and combine it with the fun, texture, and creativity that Easy Boba is known for,&rdquo; said <strong>Adnan Sarkar</strong>, the brand&rsquo;s founder.</p><p>That&rsquo;s not just marketing fluff. Easy Boba has built its following by balancing <strong>global trends</strong> with <strong>Indian taste sensibilities</strong>. Introducing a dairy-based product might seem risky, but in a country where cheese somehow sneaks into everything from pizza to pani puri, it&rsquo;s a calculated risk that might just pay off.</p><p>The Cheese Foam Shakes are rolling out across select Mumbai outlets &mdash; <strong>Juhu, Chembur, Santacruz, Kemps, Hill Road, and Carters</strong>.</p><p>And here&rsquo;s the kicker: during Easy Boba&rsquo;s <strong>&ldquo;Slay Day&rdquo; Offer</strong> (the 15th of every month), every item on the menu &mdash; including these rich new shakes &mdash; is priced at just <strong>&#8377;99</strong>.</p><p>Miss that day, and you&rsquo;ll shell out between <strong>&#8377;200&ndash;&#8377;250</strong>, which, to be fair, is still cheaper than some of Mumbai&rsquo;s designer coffees that taste like regret.</p><p>There&rsquo;s a reason this launch hits the sweet spot (literally and psychologically). In India&rsquo;s caf&eacute; scene, customers are craving novelty that doesn&rsquo;t feel foreign. A drink that combines <strong>dessert comfort</strong> with <strong>bubble tea playfulness</strong> does exactly that.</p><p>Add to that the social media factor: those layered colors, the foamy top, the pearls at the bottom &mdash; it&rsquo;s <strong>Instagram gold</strong>. Don&rsquo;t be surprised if #CheeseFoamShakes starts flooding your Reels feed.</p><p>According to [External Link &rarr; industry report placeholder], India&rsquo;s bubble tea market is projected to grow at over <strong>14% CAGR through 2030</strong>, driven by Gen Z&rsquo;s obsession with customizable drinks. Easy Boba, with its <strong>20+ outlets nationwide</strong>, clearly wants to dominate that growth wave.</p><p>Even with this indulgent twist, Easy Boba hasn&rsquo;t abandoned its inclusive ethos. The brand&rsquo;s menu continues to feature <strong>low-calorie</strong>, <strong>dairy-free</strong>, and <strong>plant-based</strong> options, making it a rare caf&eacute; brand that genuinely caters to everyone &mdash; from fitness freaks to lactose-intolerant boba lovers.</p><p>In a market full of copycat chains, Easy Boba stands out for how it <strong>blends international aesthetics with Indian practicality</strong>. You can walk into one of their stores in Mumbai and feel like you&rsquo;re in Taipei &mdash; until someone yells, &ldquo;One Nutella shake, extra pearls!&rdquo;</p><p>Since its launch, Easy Boba has carved out more than just a fan base &mdash; it&rsquo;s built a <strong>community</strong>. Their audience isn&rsquo;t just buying a drink; they&rsquo;re buying a mood, a lifestyle, a tiny rebellion against boring beverages.</p><p>While older brands still debate the <strong>&ldquo;authenticity&rdquo;</strong> of bubble tea, Easy Boba is out there experimenting &mdash; matcha one day, biscoff the next. And now, cheese foam.</p><p>Their stores are bright, cheeky, and full of energy &mdash; much like the drinks themselves. The vibe? Somewhere between an art caf&eacute; and a K-pop music video.</p><p>Easy Boba&rsquo;s Cheese Foam Shakes are exactly what India&rsquo;s caf&eacute; culture needed: a reminder that fun and flavor don&rsquo;t have to be mutually exclusive. It&rsquo;s indulgence done with personality.</p><p>If you&rsquo;re looking for a drink that makes you question your diet choices but not your happiness &mdash; this is it.</p><p>For more details, kindly follow on&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/easybobaindia/">Instagram</a></strong>&nbsp;@easybobaindia or visit&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.easyboba.in/">www.easyboba.in</a></strong></p>

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 9:</strong> Let&rsquo;s be honest. Airports are usually terrible. You wait. You line up. You spend way too much on coffee that tastes like sadness.</p><p>But every once in a while, a place pops up that makes you want to actually <b>arrive early to hang out</b>. From India, a few airports don&rsquo;t just move you, they entertain you &ndash; big time.</p><p><b>1) Singapore Changi (SIN), Singapore | The Airport That&rsquo;s a Playground</b></p><p><b>Why it&rsquo;s awesome:</b> Singapore Changi Airport is like a giant fun park for travellers. Walk into Jewel and see the Rain Vortex, a huge indoor waterfall that sparkles like a rainbow. Explore the butterfly garden, bounce on sky nets, and zoom down slides. Watch planes through oversized windows, grab noodles, ice cream, or bubble tea. There are games and even free movies while you wait. From India, nonstop flights make Changi an easy stop for a happy layover. Want extra playtime? Book flexible, multi-city tickets on CompleteTrip and find cheap flight deals. Changi turns waiting for a plane into the coolest mini-vacation. This is one of those airports where people would love to have a layover.</p><p><b>How to go from India (easy!):</b></p><p><b>Pro tip:</b>&nbsp;Choose a flight with a&nbsp;<strong>long layover</strong> to explore the Jewel Waterfall. Use our <b>multi-city</b> or <b>flexible&nbsp;</b><strong>date options</strong> to find a great&nbsp;fare from CompleteTrip.</p><p>Why stop at Singapore? Score amazing fares to Dubai, Paris, Japan, and more&mdash;plus every domestic airport in India.</p><p>Book Now!<a href="https://www.completetrip.com/flights/origin=BOM&amp;destination=SIN&amp;onward=29-09-2026&amp;return=&amp;type=INTERNATIONAL&amp;class=ECONOMY&amp;adult=1&amp;child=0&amp;infant=0&amp;direct=&amp;discount=&amp;nocache=&amp;defence=&amp;originName=mumbai&amp;destinationName=singapore&amp;BType=&amp;student=&amp;senior=&amp;doctorsandnurse="> Check the cheapest flight tickets for India to Singapore.</a></p><p><b>2) Princess Juliana (SXM), St. Maarten | Planes whoosh over the beach!</b></p><p><b>Why it&rsquo;s awesome:</b> Imagine you are sipping your coconut on Maho Beach, toes buried in warm sand, eyes locked on the runway approach. The blue ocean water&rsquo;s behind you, the fence ahead, and then&mdash;there it is&mdash;an incoming flight, dropping lower, lower, until it feels like it&rsquo;s aiming straight for your forehead. The roar hits first, with vibrations through the ground. You can see the wheels, close enough to count. From India, you&rsquo;ll take 1&ndash;2 stops (often via Amsterdam or Paris) to reach this sunny island. Use CompleteTrip to find affordable flights and try searching for flexible dates. Turn a beach day into a plane-spotting adventure you&rsquo;ll never forget!</p><p><b>How to go from India:</b></p><p><b>Heads-up:</b> Some routes&nbsp;require a&nbsp;<strong>Schengen</strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>U.S. visa</strong>&nbsp;for transit. Ask an adult to check the rules.</p><p><b>Pro tip (CompleteTrip):</b> Try flexible dates. Caribbean prices change a lot. Check our flight calendar for booking a cheap flight to Princess Juliana (SXM) from India.</p><p><b>3) Paro (PBH), Bhutan | A dramatic Himalayan landing</b></p><p><b>Why it&rsquo;s awesome:</b> Paro Airport in Bhutan feels like flying into a storybook! Your plane glides between tall green mountains, over rivers and tiny villages, then lands on a runway in a beautiful valley. Only specially trained pilots are allowed to fly here, so every landing is both careful and amazing. From India, you can sometimes fly from Delhi or Kolkata. You can fly to Paro (PBH) from India via either Kathmandu (KTM) or Bangkok (BKK). The weather in the Himalayas can change rapidly, so plan for a little extra time. On CompleteTrip, search flexible dates, flexi-fares, and check baggage rules. Paro turns a simple flight into a breathtaking mountain adventure!</p><p><b>How to go from India:</b></p><p><b>Pro tip:</b> Weather in the mountains can change plans. So check weather updates before planning a trip here.</p><p>Check the CompleteTrip website/App for the cheapest fares.</p><p><img src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/2-9.jpg" alt="3 Coolest Airports from India That Make Layovers Awesome - PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p><p><b>Trip Ideas (Easy Planner by CompleteTrip)</b></p><p>Head to CompleteTrip&rsquo;s website, use these in the search, and we&rsquo;ll find the <b>best airfare deals</b>:</p><p><b>Quick Checklist (so travel stays smooth)</b></p><p><b>Why choose CompleteTrip?</b></p><p><b>Ready to explore?</b></p><p>Open CompleteTrip and search from your travel city to these locations:</p><p><b>&rarr; Singapore (SIN)</b></p><p><b>&rarr; St. Maarten (SXM)</b></p><p><b>&rarr; Paro (PBH)</b></p><p>Choose&nbsp;<strong>flexible dates</strong> for booking, or contact us and let us be your co-pilot for takeoff!</p>

<p>Neha Pardeshi, who essays the iconic role of Radha in <em>Kaamdhenu Gaumata</em>—a mythological series produced by Sagar World Multimedia and airing on Star Bharat—has candidly shared the depth of preparation that went into mastering the character. Produced by Prem Sagar and Shiv Sagar, the series has been praised for its devotional tone and authenticity, and Neha’s portrayal of Radha plays a central role in that success.</p><p>Speaking about the demands of the role, Neha emphasized that the most challenging aspect was not the physical transformation but mastering the language and dialect. “Honestly, both have their challenges, but I’d say the language and dialect were more difficult. It’s not just about speaking—it’s about delivering each line with the right emotion and spiritual weight,” she said.</p><p>In mythological and period dramas, speech carries immense symbolic and cultural significance. Neha reflected on the responsibility of making each dialogue resonate with grace and authenticity. “The way you speak reflects the essence of divinity, devotion, and cultural tradition. Every word must sound rooted and emotionally honest,” she explained.</p><p>While memorizing lines might come with practice, Neha noted that delivering them in a way that’s both era-appropriate and relatable to modern audiences was a deeper challenge. “You have to sound truthful to the period, but at the same time, connect with viewers today. That balance is delicate and took time to get right.”</p><p>On the physical front, portraying Radha comes with its own set of demands. From heavy costumes to intricate jewelry and elaborate headpieces, the look is rich and symbolic. “Wearing all of that and still embodying Radha’s calmness and poise requires real composure. But for me, the soul of the character lives in her speech. If that’s not aligned, the portrayal feels incomplete,” Neha added.</p><p>Neha also opened up about the emotional and spiritual immersion involved in playing a character like Radha. “When you portray someone like Radha—who symbolizes divine love and surrender—it’s easy for the line between reel and real to blur. I do feel emotionally and spiritually connected to her during shoots.”</p><p>However, she ensures she maintains a healthy boundary between the role and her personal identity. “After the shoot, I take time to ground myself—through silence, journaling, and personal routines. I remind myself gently that I am Neha, and I’m here to be a medium for Radha’s essence, not to become her entirely,” she shared.</p><p>Still, parts of the character tend to linger. “Radha’s calmness, her faith, and devotion—those elements stay with me. And I cherish them. These roles offer so much more than just a performance—they leave a lasting imprint on your soul.”</p><p>Neha Pardeshi’s approach showcases the depth of commitment required to bring spiritual icons to life on screen. Her dedication to perfecting both the emotional and technical aspects of her role reflects not only her professionalism but also her reverence for the character she plays.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<p>In a dazzling debut on the reality show <em>Rise &amp; Fall</em>, hosted by business mogul Ashneer Grover, beloved comedian Kiku Sharda captivated audiences with his signature charm and wit. The show, which premiered with 15 celebrity contestants, divides participants into two starkly contrasting worlds: the luxurious penthouse for the &ldquo;Rulers&rdquo; and the gritty basement for the &ldquo;Workers.&rdquo; From the outset, Kiku&rsquo;s infectious humor lightened the intense atmosphere, but it was his strategic prowess in the high-stakes Red Room challenge that cemented his place as a frontrunner.</p><p>The Red Room, the show&rsquo;s first major test, pushed contestants beyond physical strength, demanding sharp judgment and trust. Kiku, alongside entertainment journalist Nayandeep Rakshit and wrestler Sangeeta Phogat, faced a critical decision involving two suitcases: a golden one containing &#8377;5 lakh and a silver one with &#8377;1 lakh. In a moment charged with tension, both Nayandeep and Sangeeta placed their faith in Kiku, handing him the golden suitcase. This pivotal choice not only awarded him the larger cash prize but also elevated him to the coveted status of &ldquo;Ruler.&rdquo;</p><p>As a Ruler, Kiku earned a spot in the opulent penthouse, complete with immunity from elimination&mdash;a significant advantage in the cutthroat competition. His rise showcased a side of Kiku that extends beyond his comedic persona, known from shows like <em>The Kapil Sharma Show</em>. Contestants clearly saw him as a trustworthy leader, capable of wielding power with integrity. Yet, Kiku remained true to his roots, diffusing tension with timely humor and maintaining a lighthearted presence, even as the stakes soared.</p><p>The first episode concluded with Kiku basking in the penthouse&rsquo;s luxury, while others toiled in the basement, highlighting the show&rsquo;s stark divide. His immunity offers a temporary shield, but <em>Rise &amp; Fall</em> promises unpredictable twists, leaving viewers wondering if Kiku can sustain his reign. The golden suitcase symbolized more than a financial win&mdash;it marked Kiku&rsquo;s emergence as a strategic player with the potential to dominate the game.</p><p>Fans of the comedian, adored for his warmth and relatability, are buzzing with excitement over his strong start. Social media platforms like X are abuzz with reactions, praising Kiku&rsquo;s ability to balance humor with leadership. As the competition unfolds, all eyes are on whether Kiku can maintain his position or if the pressures of power will test his golden streak.</p><p>With <em>Rise &amp; Fall</em> blending strategy, alliances, and high-stakes challenges, Kiku Sharda&rsquo;s journey is off to a remarkable start. Will his charm and quick thinking keep him at the top, or will the game&rsquo;s twists challenge his rule? As the show progresses, Kiku&rsquo;s fans and new viewers alike are eager to see how this comedic powerhouse navigates the rollercoaster of <em>Rise &amp; Fall</em>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Arbaz Patel, a household name in reality television, is poised to reclaim the spotlight with his dynamic entry into <em>Rise & Fall</em>, the high-stakes reality show hosted by entrepreneur Ashneer Grover. Known for his captivating presence on <em>Splitsvilla</em> and <em>Bigg Boss Marathi</em>, Patel is no stranger to the intensity of reality TV. His return, announced with a bold promise of delivering “full adventure,” has sparked excitement among his loyal fanbase and set the stage for a thrilling new chapter in his career.</p><p>Patel’s enthusiasm for <em>Rise & Fall</em> is palpable. “I’m back with a bang, ready to face challenges and play with other contestants. It’s going to be a thrilling ride,” he declared, signaling his intent to dominate the competition. The show, streaming free on Amazon MX Player from September 6, 2025, divides its 16 celebrity contestants into two contrasting groups: the privileged “Rulers” in a lavish penthouse and the struggling “Workers” in a bare-basics basement. This unique format, mirroring societal divides, promises intense tasks, strategic gameplay, and raw drama—perfect for Patel’s competitive spirit and charismatic persona.</p><p>Patel’s past stints on reality TV have showcased his ability to blend charm with strategy, earning him a dedicated following. His confident entry into <em>Rise & Fall</em>, marked by a striking half-and-half look in promotional materials, hints at the show’s theme of duality between power and struggle. Fans are already buzzing on platforms like X, particularly after Patel’s playful Instagram caption: “Nikki ke dil ko jeet liya ab show ko bhi jeetne aaya hun” (I’ve won Nikki’s heart, now I’m here to win the show). This nod to his relationship with actress Nikki Tamboli, who fiercely defended him against online trolls, has only amplified the hype around his participation.</p><p>The show’s eclectic lineup, including stars like Arjun Bijlani, Kubbra Sait, and Kiku Sharda, ensures a clash of personalities that Patel is well-equipped to navigate. His prior reality TV experience gives him an edge in handling alliances, rivalries, and unpredictable twists. A recent verbal spar with fellow contestant Aarush Bhola, where Patel’s cheeky taunts were met with sharp comebacks, hints at the fiery confrontations to come. Industry insiders predict Patel’s natural charisma and strategic mindset will make him a standout contender.</p><p>As <em>Rise & Fall</em> unfolds with daily episodes at noon, audiences are eager to see if Patel can live up to his bold promise and emerge as a dominant force. Will his infectious energy and calculated moves secure him a place among the Rulers, or will the game’s relentless challenges test his resolve? With anticipation at a fever pitch, Arbaz Patel’s return to reality TV is set to be a spectacle of ambition, drama, and unmissable entertainment.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

Known for hosting Bappa every year, Madhurima shared that this tradition holds a very special place in her heart.<br /><br />Last year, the actress welcomed a Bal Ganesh idol, and this time she brought home a slightly bigger idol. &ldquo;The entire d&eacute;cor and setup is my mother&rsquo;s doing&mdash;she puts her heart into it for Bappa,&rdquo; Madhurima shared, expressing her gratitude for the divine energy Bappa brings into their home. &ldquo;It feels like Bappa chooses us,&rdquo; she added with emotion.<br /><br />As the day of visarjan arrived, Madhurima admitted that it always makes her emotional. This year, before bidding Bappa farewell, she leaned in to whisper a heartfelt wish in His ears&mdash;praying for the well-being of her family and loved ones.<br /><br />But her prayers went beyond her home. Deeply moved by the ongoing natural disasters and floods in Uttarakhand, Shimla, Manali, and Jammu, Madhurima said she wished for the safety and well-being of all those affected&mdash;humans as well as animals. &ldquo;Bappa is Vighnaharta, the remover of obstacles. I believe He will take care of this situation and protect everyone in need, especially those suffering in Uttarakhand and other affected regions,&rdquo; she said with folded hands.<br /><br />The visarjan was a family affair, with loved ones and close friends joining in the procession, singing and dancing as they bid their beloved Bappa goodbye, until next year when He returns again to bless their home.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr" data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><strong>Mumbai, August 23, 2025 </strong>&ndash; As <em>Bigg Boss 19</em> gears up for its grand premiere on August 24, 2025, fans are buzzing with excitement over the first look at the show&rsquo;s newly designed house. Hosted by Salman Khan, the reality show&rsquo;s 19th season introduces a bold &ldquo;democracy&rdquo; theme, crafted by renowned director Omung Kumar and his wife, Vanita Omung Kumar. The house, blending rustic aesthetics with strategic elements, promises to redefine the <em>Bigg Boss</em> experience. The season will debut on JioCinema before airing on Colors TV, setting the stage for a season of drama and intrigue.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Drawing inspiration from a &ldquo;Cabin in the Woods&rdquo; concept, the <em>Bigg Boss 19</em> house immerses contestants in a forest-like setting with wooden textures and earthy hues. Creative Head Rohan Manchanda noted, &ldquo;The design captures the essence of being trapped, reflecting the contestants&rsquo; emotional and strategic journey.&rdquo; Animal motifs, including large sculptures, parrot figurines above the kitchen, and a bull&rsquo;s head near the confession room, amplify the theme of confinement and survival, creating a visually striking environment.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The garden area, a hub for contestant interactions, is more expansive this season but intentionally chaotic, with scattered furniture adding to the sense of unpredictability. The gym, though smaller than in past seasons, remains a focal point for physical activity and tension. The living room, adorned with bold animal-themed decor, serves as the house&rsquo;s central gathering space, while the compact kitchen connects seamlessly to it, fostering closer connections among housemates.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A key highlight is the Assembly Room, a democratic space where contestants will debate and shape game decisions. While <em>Bigg Boss</em> retains final authority, this room empowers housemates to influence outcomes, adding depth to the gameplay. The bedroom, designed with a warm vintage vibe, features only double and one triple bed, eliminating single beds to spark alliances and rivalries. &ldquo;The house design pushes contestants to interact in new ways,&rdquo; said Omung Kumar in a Colors TV interview, emphasizing its role in driving the season&rsquo;s narrative.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In a surprising twist, the traditional jail has been replaced by 8&ndash;10 secret doors integrated into the house&rsquo;s architecture. These hidden passageways are set to introduce unexpected twists, enhancing strategic gameplay. Punishments will take on creative forms, keeping contestants on edge. The bathroom, while similar to previous seasons, sports refreshed wallpaper and color schemes for a modern touch.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&ldquo;The house is more than a set&mdash;it&rsquo;s a catalyst for drama,&rdquo; Vanita Omung Kumar told reporters. Every element, from the secret doors to the Assembly Room, is designed to challenge contestants and captivate viewers. With its innovative layout and thematic depth, the house is poised to be a central character in <em>Bigg Boss 19</em>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Following 18 iconic seasons, <em>Bigg Boss</em> continues to evolve, blending innovative design with compelling gameplay. Fans can stream the premiere on JioCinema or watch it on Colors TV, with the promise of a season that pushes boundaries. As the August 24 premiere approaches, the democracy-themed house and its unique features are set to fuel intense rivalries, emotional moments, and unforgettable drama. With Salman Khan leading the charge, <em>Bigg Boss 19</em> is ready to cement its place as a cultural juggernaut in reality television.</p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], August 22:</strong> In the vast legal landscape of India, where justice is both a pursuit and a promise, few names resonate as strongly as Advocate Jayprakash Bansilal Somani. With more than 35 years in practice, Somani has carved out a reputation not just as a Supreme Court lawyer but also as an author, educator, and motivator who has left a significant imprint on both the legal fraternity and society at large.</p><p>His journey is marked by steady progression&mdash;from the district courts of Bombay to the Delhi High Court and ultimately the Supreme Court of India. Armed with an MBA in Foreign Trade alongside his law degree, Somani entered the profession with an edge that combined legal precision with business understanding. This dual foundation has since defined his versatility across multiple domains.</p><p>As the founder of Jayprakash Somani Advocates &amp; Solicitors (JSAS), he leads a practice that handles appeals, writ petitions, and special leave petitions. The firm&rsquo;s expertise stretches across civil, criminal, corporate, insolvency, banking, consumer, property, and even military matters, making it a trusted legal destination for clients nationwide. Importantly, JSAS also serves as a learning platform for young advocates who gain practical exposure under Somani&rsquo;s mentorship.</p><p>Beyond the courtroom, Somani has made legal knowledge accessible through his prolific writing. Author of more than 65 books on Supreme Court case laws, he has simplified complex areas of law such as bail, arbitration, matrimonial disputes, election cases, SEBI regulations, and taxation. His educational efforts extend into the digital realm too, where he has produced over 350 legal and international trade videos, offering guidance to both legal professionals and entrepreneurs.</p><p>Somani&rsquo;s influence also stems from his role as a motivational speaker. Over the course of his career, he has conducted over 1,500 seminars and workshops on law and international trade, empowering business leaders across India and abroad. His appearances on channels like ETV, Zee, and Disha TV further reflect his ability to connect law with wider public discourse.</p><p>His contributions have earned him national and international recognition, including the Priyadarshini Indira Gandhi Award, the India Achievers Award, and the Global Achievers Award for Educational &amp; Social Excellence in Dubai. In 2025, he was honored with the Champion Award at the MSME Bharat Summit, acknowledging his efforts to strengthen the MSME sector.</p><p>Deeply rooted in community service, Somani serves as President of the Nani Palkhivala National Law Club and actively participates in organizations like the Maheshwari Mahasabha, Agrawal Sangathan, and Bhartiya Jain Sangathana. A long-time member of Rotary since 1992, he is currently Vice President of the New Delhi Rotary Club and set to assume its presidency.</p><p>In every sphere&mdash;law, education, business, or social service&mdash;Jayprakash B. Somani represents dedication, versatility, and purpose. His career stands as a reminder that the true measure of a lawyer lies not only in winning cases but in shaping minds, uplifting communities, and advancing society as a whole.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<p><strong>New Delhi [India], August 22:&nbsp; </strong>Uttar Pradesh, the spiritual heartland of India, is witnessing a tourism boom unlike anything in recent decades. Unprecedented growth in religious tourism in Uttar Pradesh is driving both cultural revival and economic transformation. Particularly, the ancient cities of Ayodhya, Varanasi and Prayagraj have emerged as the epicentre in cementing the state&rsquo;s position in recent years. These destinations are experiencing an influx of pilgrims from the banks of the Ganga in Varanasi to the newly inaugurated Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and the confluence of rivers in Prayagraj. According to the recent reports, the number of tourists to these cities surged by over 30% in the past year along and tourism authorities believe the trend will continue upward in the coming years due to its position as the Spiritual Hub of India.</p><p>Uttar Pradesh has always been a central stage for the spiritual narratives of India. It is home to countless ancient temples, ghats, monasteries and historical monuments linked with not just Hinduism, but Buddhism, Jainism, and Islam as well. However, in the present day, these three cities are driving a new era of growth, which is supported by extensive infrastructure development, cultural and religious promotions, and global media coverage.</p><p><strong>Ayodhya:&nbsp;</strong>Ayodhya has become the country&rsquo;s most talked-about pilgrimage site following the January 2024 consecration of the <a href="https://traveloi.com/tour-package/ram-mandir-ayodhya-tour-package/">Ram Mandir.</a>&nbsp;Once a relatively small religious town, it is now a religious hub, owing to which, the city now has improved roads, modern hospitality infrastructure and an airport designed to handle international traffic. The temple&rsquo;s opening marked a turning point for the city&rsquo;s visibility, attracting billions of pilgrims in its first year. This put Ayodhya firmly on the global religious tourism map. Ever since then, the transformation of this city has been nothing short of dramatic. The city has been averaging more than 1.5 million visitors per month, according to local tourism officials. This surge has created ripple effects from job creation in hospitality and transportation to an increase in demand for guided spiritual&nbsp;<a href="https://traveloi.com/tour-package/ram-mandir-ayodhya-tour-package/">Ram Mandir Ayodhya tours</a>. Travel companies have responded by launching special Ayodhya Varanasi Paryagraj Packages. These itineraries blend temple visits with cultural experiences, allowing visitors to explore the spiritual core and the living traditions of Uttar Pradesh.</p><p><strong>Varanasi:&nbsp;</strong>While Ayodhya is enjoying newfound fame, Varanasi continues to reign as the timeless phase of Indian spirituality. Often known as the oldest living city in the world, Varanasi continues to enchant with its riverfront ghats, ancient temples and vibrant Ganga Aarti. Pilgrims arrive to bathe in the Ganga, attend the evening Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, and seek blessings at Kashi Vishwanath Temple. Thanks to the Uttar Pradesh Government, the redevelopment programs make the city more accessible while preserving its mystical charm. The Kashi Vishwanath Corridor has expanded temple access, while riverfront beautification has made ghats cleaner and more welcoming. New river cruises are allowing visitors to witness the city&rsquo;s magic while enjoying a serene boat ride. While the luxury hotels have sprung up to meet rising demand. International interest is also growing; tourists from Southeast Asia, the USA and Europe are increasingly booking the Golden Triangle Tour Packages with extension to Varanasi.</p><p><strong>Prayagraj:</strong> Prayagraj&rsquo;s religious identity is deeply tied to Kumbh Mela, held in the city every twelve years, the largest human gathering on Earth. The sacred Sangam, where the Ganga, Yamuna, and mythical Saraswati meet, Allahabad Fort and Anand Bhawan attract both devout Hindus and cultural enthusiasts. The ongoing development is positioning the city as a year-round pilgrimage hub. The city&rsquo;s improved connectivity, including better rail services and expanded highways, has made this <a href="https://traveloi.com/tour-package/spiritual-varanasi-prayagraj-ayodhya/">Ayodhya Varanasi Prayagraj tour</a>&nbsp;circuit more practical than ever before. Pilgrims can now visit all three cities comfortably in under a week.</p><p>Speaking on Uttar Pradesh tourist boom, Kaushal Ramola, CEO of Traveloi Holiday India Pvt. Ltd., shared,&nbsp;&ldquo;We are witnessing a golden era for religious tourism in India. Uttar Pradesh&rsquo;s strategic investment in infrastructure and cultural preservation is setting a benchmark for the rest of the country. For travellers, combining Ayodhya, Varanasi and Prayagraj is a tour that leads to spiritual awakening. This surge is not benefiting tourism operators like us, but also uplifting local economies and preserving the intangible heritage of India.&rdquo;</p><p>With such strong endorsement from the travel industry, Uttar Pradesh is fast emerging as the undisputed leader in faith-based tourism.</p><p>Uttar Pradesh has become a leading tourist destination in India in the past few years. It is not just benefiting the tourism industry, but also some other aspects as well:</p><p><strong>1. Cultural Renaissance</strong></p><p>The rise in visitors has also sparked a cultural revival. Traditional music, dance and artisanal crafts are gaining renewed attention as tourists seek authentic experiences. Festivals such as Dev Deepawali in Varanasi and Deepotsav and Ram Navami in Ayodhya are drawing record crowds. This showcases the perfect blend of devotional fervour with cultural celebration. Local artisans from Banarasi silk weavers to terracotta makers are finding new markets for their crafts. These small businesses are often helped by tourism companies, which incorporate craft workshops into their itineraries. Tourists visiting Uttar Pradesh not only accomplish a spiritual tour but also get lost in the culture and traditions of the city, and help to grow it.</p><p><strong>2. Economic Ripple Effects</strong></p><p>The surge in religious tourism is a spiritual phenomenon and an economic engine. The Uttar Pradesh tourism department estimates that the state earned over 20,000 crore from pilgrimage-related travel in 2024. Small businesses, from street food vendors to handicraft sellers, are benefiting enormously. Hotels are running at near full occupancy during the peak season, and transport operators are expanding fleets to meet demand. In Ayodhya alone, hotel bookings have increased by 40% since the Ram Mandir opening and new hospitality programs are being fast-tracked. Varanasi&rsquo;s river cruise industry has doubled in size while Prayagraj&rsquo;s tour guide services have expanded to include multi-lingual options.</p><p><strong>3. Infrastructure Upgrades</strong></p><p>The Uttar Pradesh government has been proactive in upgrading facilities in the state. The major highlights in the infrastructure that support Uttar Pradesh tourism are:</p><p><strong>Ayodhya Airport:&nbsp;</strong>This newly designed airport is capable of handling direct flights from major Indian cities and planning international routes.</p><p><strong>Road and Rail Connectivity:</strong>&nbsp;The city has well-maintained highways connecting Ayodhya, Varanasi and Prayagraj. They are wider, modernised and help in reducing travel time.</p><p><strong>Riverfront Development:</strong>&nbsp;The government focuses on riverfront development that results in cleaner ghats, better lighting all around and improved waste management.</p><p><strong>Digital Tourism Services:&nbsp;</strong>Visitors are facilitated by online ticketing facilities for temple visits and heritage sites from the government official portal, and can access real-time crowd management apps.</p><p>The combined appeal of Ayodhya, Varanasi and Prayagraj has the potential to rival global pilgrimage circuits like Mecca, Lourdes and the Vatican City. With India promoting its spiritual tourism sector internationally, these cities could see a significant rise in foreign arrivals over the next decade. Already, there is evidence of interest from Southeast Asian Buddhist pilgrims who pair visits to Bodh Gaya with day tours to Varanasi, Ayodha and Prayagraj. Similarly, the Indian diaspora is increasingly returning home for faith-based travel, bringing along younger generations eager to connect with their roots.</p><p>The surge in religious tourism of Uttar Pradesh is not a passing trend; it is a historic shift in how India&rsquo;s spiritual heritage is being experienced and celebrated. Ayodhya, Varanasi and Prayagraj are the heart of this transformation, offering an inspiring blend of faith, culture and modern comfort. For travellers, this is an unparalleled moment to witness living traditions in the settings that are accessible than ever. For Uttar Pradesh, it is the biggest opportunity to cement its place as a leading destination for spiritual journeys in India.</p><p><em> If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], August 22:</strong> Few Indian voices bridge policy rooms and public imagination with equal credibility. Suyash Gupta&mdash;entrepreneur, alternate-fuels advocate, seasoned public policy voice and author of&nbsp;<em>India&rsquo;s Turn</em>&mdash;has spent three decades translating complex problems into actionable reforms.</p><p>&ldquo;In 2024, Gupta was named among the&nbsp;<strong>Top 50 Most Influential Authors</strong>, cementing his standing as a thought leader whose ideas resonate far beyond the pages of his book. Its inclusion in the prestigious&nbsp;<strong>Indian Parliament Library</strong>&nbsp;further affirms the book&rsquo;s credibility and relevance at the highest levels of governance.&rdquo;</p><p><strong>A Record of Impact&nbsp;</strong></p><p>In 2018, Gupta&rsquo;s public appeal to the Civil Aviation Ministry catalysed a widely reported upgrade at Delhi Airport&rsquo;s T3 terminal, and subsequently most airports in India&mdash;an emblem of how citizen-led governance can deliver fast, measurable change. Across energy and mobility, he has advised industry bodies and government panels, championing pragmatic transitions toward cleaner, affordable fuels.</p><p>With over&nbsp;<strong>three decades</strong>&nbsp;of professional experience, Suyash Gupta has worked closely with&nbsp;<strong>senior political leaders</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>policymakers</strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>global experts</strong>&nbsp;from more than 30 countries.

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 21: Anuga FoodTec India and Anuga Select India 2025</strong>&nbsp;commenced at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai, setting the stage for one of the most significant congregations of the food and beverage value chain in South Asia. Organized by Koelnmesse India, taking place from 20th to 22nd August 2025, the events are designed to drive South Asia&rsquo;s F&amp;B growth by championing innovation, facilitating international partnerships, and enabling opportunities for trade and knowledge exchange.</p><p>The inauguration was graced by an eminent panel of dignitaries, including&nbsp;<strong>Mr. Seetharaman Raghupathi, Executive Director, National Dairy Development Board (NDDB); H.E. Ahmad Al Ahmari, Charg&eacute; d&rsquo;Affaires, Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia; H.E. Zozo Binti, Head of Mission, D.R. Congo; H.E. Labane Gideon, Consul General of South Africa; H.E. Donnawit Poolsawat, Consul General of Thailand; Bastian Mingers, Vice President, Food Portfolio, Koelnmesse GmbH; Milind Dixit, Managing Director &ndash; India &amp; SAARC, Koelnmesse Pvt Ltd; and Sameer Mithia, Group Director, Koelnmesse Pvt Ltd.</strong></p><p>Speaking at the ceremony<strong>, Mr. Seetharaman Raghupathi, Executive Director, National Dairy Development Board</strong>&nbsp;stated, &ldquo;<em>India&rsquo;s food and beverage sector is growing rapidly, backed by 180 million hectares of arable land, food processing valued at &#8377;75 trillion, and food expenditure making up over 40% of consumer spend. Dairy contributes 25% of this sector, with India producing one-fourth of the world&rsquo;s milk, worth &#8377;12 trillion. With 17 million farmers across 235,000 villages, 35% of whom are women, dairy cooperatives return 75% of the consumer rupee, channeling &#8377;2.1 billion daily into the rural economy. Initiatives like White Revolution 2.0, which aims to establish 75,000 new cooperatives by 2028&ndash;29, will further boost this growth. Platforms like Anuga FoodTec India and Anuga Select India are vital to driving innovation and sustainability in the F&amp;B sector.&rdquo;</em></p><p><strong>H.E. Ahmad Al Ahmari, Charg&eacute; d&rsquo;Affaires, Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia&nbsp;</strong>said&nbsp;<em>&ldquo;Saudi Arabia&rsquo;s rich history, culture, and future are deeply connected with one of nature&rsquo;s most generous gifts&nbsp;<strong>&lsquo;dates&rsquo;</strong>. The Kingdom is home to more than 37.1 million palm trees, producing around 1.1 million tons annually, across 123 kilometers of farmland and over 300 unique date varieties. Sharing dates is a way of sharing culture, while also meeting global demand for sustainable, organic, and health-conscious products. Nations, businesses, and investors are invited to join this journey and partner in bringing this blessed fruit to every corner of the globe.&rdquo;</em></p><p><strong>H.E. Zozo Binti, Head of Mission, D.R. Congo,&nbsp;</strong>said &ldquo;<em>The Democratic Republic of Congo, with a population of 112 million, over 80 million hectares of arable land, 87% of the world&rsquo;s cobalt reserves, and vast potential in fisheries, forests, and hydrocarbons, stands as a land of immense opportunity at the heart of Africa. Platforms like Anuga FoodTec and Anuga Select India 2025 foster partnerships and innovation, helping us reimagine a future of smarter, safer, and more sustainable food systems, while building stronger ties with India and the world.&rdquo;</em></p><p><strong>H.E. Labane Gideon, Consul General of South Africa</strong>, said<strong>,&nbsp;</strong><em>&ldquo;Africa&rsquo;s food and beverage industry, valued at US$313 billion, is projected to reach US$1 trillion by 2030, offering immense opportunities for jobs, prosperity, and integration into the global economy. With agriculture still accounting for over 60% of Africa&rsquo;s value chain, compared to 22% globally, investments in value-added processing and branded products are critical to unlock this potential. South Africa, with a strong food processing industry and key exports including wine, fruit juices, and food additives, recognizes India, home to 1.4 billion people and one of the world&rsquo;s fastest-growing economies, as a vital partner. Platforms like Anuga FoodTec and Anuga Select India 2025 enable us to strengthen trade ties, showcase our diverse offerings, and build lasting partnerships between Africa, South Africa, and India in the food and beverage sector.&rdquo;</em></p><p><strong>&ldquo;</strong><em>The opening day of Anuga Select India and Anuga FoodTec India has set a strong tone for the days ahead, bringing together industry leaders, innovators, and decision-makers under one roof. It is encouraging to see such vibrant participation and meaningful exchanges that reaffirm India&rsquo;s role as a fast-growing hub for food, beverage, and technology innovation.

Ltd.</strong>, said:&nbsp;<em>&ldquo;Anuga FoodTec India and Anuga Select India are acting as powerful engines of transformation for the F&amp;B sector. With the global food processing market projected to surpass USD 4 trillion by 2030 and India expected to emerge among the top three markets worldwide, these shows provide an invaluable platform to access next-gen technologies, embrace sustainable solutions, and build long-term collaborations.

At the same time, India&rsquo;s food-tech ecosystem in areas like hardware, software, AI, cold chain, and precision processing is expected to outpace global benchmarks at over 14% CAGR by 2030. This shows how innovation is no longer important; India is now exporting food technology to the world.&rdquo;</em></p><p><em><img src="https://pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/21-08-25-2526007472-Food-Leaders-India-Only-PNN.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675"></em></p><p>Beyond the expansive show floor, the event is enriched with a series of high-impact knowledge forums and interactive features.

<p><strong>Latur (Maharashtra) [India], August 22:</strong> Coming from a middle-class family in Latur, Abhay Patil&rsquo;s journey is one of resilience, risk-taking, and relentless pursuit of growth. Today, at just 24, he stands as one of India&rsquo;s most recognised young traders and content creators, but the road to success wasn&rsquo;t an easy one.</p><p>Abhay Patil&rsquo;s entrepreneurial instincts showed up early. At the age of 16, while most teenagers were busy preparing for board exams, he was building his first business. Selling customised merchandise, he managed to generate profits of over &#8377;3 lakh in his very first year.</p><p>This initial success not only gave him confidence but also provided him with the capital he needed for his next big chapter &mdash; trading.</p><p>When Abhay Patil shifted to Pune for college, he was just 18. While pursuing his B.Tech degree, he simultaneously entered the world of trading, investing the profits from his merchandise business.</p><p>But trading wasn&rsquo;t easy. The lack of structured guidance, the negative perception surrounding the industry, and the risks involved made his journey extremely challenging. He often had to sacrifice classes, internships, and even opportunities that most college students would consider invaluable.</p><p>&ldquo;Everyone thought I was wasting my time, but I believed in the process,&rdquo; Abhay Patil recalls.</p><p>Adding to his struggles, the removal of leverage in Indian markets hit him hard. Yet, instead of quitting, Abhay Patil adapted and kept learning, making mistakes, and evolving.</p><p><img src="https://pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PNN-2025-08-22T135623.651.jpg" alt="Abhay " width="1200" height="675"></p><p>Parallel to trading, Abhay Patil also began creating content to share his experiences. But his YouTube journey was filled with setbacks. Between 2020 and 2022, he lost three entire channels, along with more than 500 videos.</p><p>Despite this, he never gave up. For two years, he had only 100 subscribers &mdash; a number that would have discouraged most creators. But Abhay Patil persisted.</p><p>By 2024, his hard work finally paid off. His channel skyrocketed to 500K subscribers, and today, he commands a massive audience of over 780K on YouTube and 435K on Instagram.</p><p>Initially, Abhay Patil&rsquo;s focus was on the Indian stock markets. But in 2022, he discovered cryptocurrency trading and realised the immense potential of global markets. By 2023, he had fully entered the world of forex trading.</p><p>Seeing the limitations of Indian markets compared to international opportunities, Abhay Patil decided to go all-in on forex and crypto.</p><p>His decision paid off. In 2024, he moved to Dubai, positioning himself at the global hub of finance and innovation. There, he not only attended international trading events but also networked with some of the world&rsquo;s top financial minds.</p><p>Abhay Patil also became the first Indian trader to live-stream forex trading, giving his community real-time insights and strategies.</p><p>For Abhay Patil, trading wasn&rsquo;t just about charts and numbers. It was about turning dreams into reality. Before his 24th birthday, he achieved one of his lifelong goals &mdash; buying his first dream car, a Chevrolet Corvette.</p><p>But that was just the beginning. In December 2024, Abhay Patil achieved another milestone by making $100,000 in a single day from trading. To celebrate, he purchased his second dream car, the iconic Mercedes G-Wagon.</p><p><img src="https://pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PNN-2025-08-22T135411.367.jpg" alt="Abhay " width="1200" height="675"></p><p>While luxury cars and big profits are part of Abhay Patil&rsquo;s story, he insists they are not his biggest achievements. For him, the real joy comes from the messages he receives daily from his followers.</p><p>&ldquo;When someone tells me they learned trading from my videos and were able to buy their dream bike, support their parents, pay off debts, or just change their life &mdash; that means more to me than any milestone,&rdquo; he says.</p><p>This philosophy of giving back to the community has become central to the Abhay Patil brand. His content is not just about profits, but about financial literacy, discipline, and inspiring people to take control of their financial futures.</p><p>Abhay Patil journey is a reflection of a larger movement in India, where young traders and creators are breaking stereotypes and building global careers. His story shows that with determination, resilience, and adaptability, it is possible to turn challenges into stepping stones.</p><p>From a 16-year-old selling merchandise in Latur to a 24-year-old trader in Dubai, Abhay Patil&rsquo;s rise is proof that age and background are no barriers to success.</p><p>And for him, this is just the beginning.</p><p><em> If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

He believes a compassionate society starts with kindness toward the voiceless.

He has won a state-level tabla competition, excelled in state-level tennis, and was crowned winner of a prestigious Pune pageant. Growing up in a household with four generations under one roof, he gained a deep understanding of values, experiences, and business through enriching dinner-table conversations.

<p><b>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 16:</b> In a music industry often defined by trends and gatekeepers, Nato the Artiste has emerged as a powerful new voice &mdash; one forged in hardship, driven by passion, and sustained by unshakable resilience.</p><p>In her twenties, Nato has already captured the attention of global audiences with her breakout singles Shikaayatein, Ranjhna, and Bulla Kehnda, followed by her acclaimed albums Songs of Reboot and Heer Hui Badnaam. Her music blends the soul of Indian folk with global pop sensibilities, creating a sound that is both emotionally intimate and universally resonant.</p><p>But her journey to the stage was anything but easy. Losing her father &mdash; whom she calls &ldquo;the Sun&rdquo; &mdash; in a tragic accident at a young age, Nato was raised by her elder brother while her mother worked away from home to support the family. There were times she lived in a temple with only a suitcase, unable to afford a bed in a hostel, surviving on a single egg bun a day.</p><p>It was in these moments of scarcity that Nato&rsquo;s spirit hardened and her artistry deepened. With no corporate sponsorship and no industry godfather, she built her career from the ground up &mdash; writing her own music, funding her own videos, and developing DIY marketing strategies now studied by emerging artists.</p><p>Her self-organized Aarambh 2024 UK tour and performances in Bengaluru, Goa, Mumbai, and the United States stand as proof of her work ethic and commitment to her craft. Whether it&rsquo;s EDM-pop-funk or haunting soulful ballads, Nato.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], August 13: </strong>&ldquo;SWIPE SWIPE&rdquo;, a relationship and dating-based film Written &amp; Directed by Ashish Sahasrabuddhe, is ready to be released in the Cinemas of Sydney and Canberra.</p><p>All shows are booked out one month in advance.</p><p>No it&rsquo;s not a big budget movie. No, it doesn&rsquo;t have A-list actors, and yes, in a big rush of multi-hundred crores(millions) film projects, Ashish has carved his own path and crafted his film with an extremely low-budget feature film in Sydney, Australia.</p><p>The film is 1 hour 13 minutes long and walks through the journey of some in their single phase of life, trying to attempt a relationship.</p><p>Sydney Siders have already booked the tickets one month in advance.</p><p>Ashish states, &ldquo;I am very thankful to the local Indian community, friends and colleagues who have been a big support to our fully booked out shows. For me, it is a very big deal as an independent filmmaker&rdquo;.</p><p>He adds, &ldquo;Watching the same film in a cinema hall twice is rare, but he had similar experiences with the last film&rdquo;.</p><p>His current film &ldquo;SWIPE SWIPE&rdquo; has a repeat audience.</p><p>&ldquo;Swipe Swipe&rdquo; depicts how it&rsquo;s easy to install apps on the phone and browse through online dating, but the reality might be bitter for some.</p><p>Filmmaking is not Ashish&rsquo;s business; he makes all these films from his limited savings after paying household bills, mortgage and managing his 9-5 job, but the focus is to bring good stories and express local issues, not chasing the number of views, monetary benefit, popularity and/or awards.&nbsp;</p><p>Ashish does not wait for anyone to help. He announces, kick-starts, and moves forward, sometimes it could be against the flow, keeping a learning hat on.&nbsp;</p><p>He said &ldquo;Yes, I fail, but haven&rsquo;t given &nbsp;up, so I was able to produce good films&rdquo;</p><p>Ashish also did his first Marathi film *&rsquo; The Filmmaker&rsquo;* in Sydney, Australia, which won the *Best Writer* award at the Marathi International Film Festival in New Jersey, USA, and won Best Experimental Film at the *CAFE IRANI CHAII INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL* in Mumbai. English-speaking audiences appreciated the film just by following the subtitles.</p><p>He has written and directed the female lead &ldquo;50 Dollars&rdquo; depicting arrogant vs caring and soft sides of female businesswomen.&nbsp;</p><p>He focused on Men&rsquo;s emotional side as well in 5 episodes called &ldquo;DEAR MEN&rdquo;</p><p>Ashish, notes on his journey, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s ok, I am slow, but I keep moving forward on the path I carved for myself&rdquo;&nbsp;</p><p>He encourages passionate people not to look for a few dollars here and there but to take every opportunity to do the work that involves passion, as life just passes by in day jobs and weekend parties.<br>
<br>
Reflecting on his journey, Ashish is proud of what he has accomplished.

<p>Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], August 17: Janmashtami, the auspicious festival marking the birth of Lord Krishna, was celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotion this year. The day was filled with prayers, devotional songs, and vibrant cultural programs that reminded everyone of the values of love, truth, and righteousness that Lord Krishna symbolizes.<br>
At the celebrations, little children dressed up as Krishna and Radha brought an extra charm to the festivities. Among them, Aarrav Dubal captured everyone&rsquo;s attention with his beautiful portrayal of Lord Krishna.

His graceful appearance left the audience delighted and reminded them of the innocence and joy of childhood.<br>

<p><strong>Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], August 18: </strong>&ldquo;God listens to everyone&hellip; but never forgets anyone. Remember Him first, and the rest of the path will create itself.&rdquo;<br>
This line isn&rsquo;t just Astro Hemant&rsquo;s favorite quote&mdash;it is the true compass of his life.</p><p>Today, his name is recognized in the world of Lal Kitab astrology as a trusted authority. With 13+ years of experience, 100,000+ consultations, and a 95%+ success rate, his journey isn&rsquo;t just about stars&mdash;it&rsquo;s about struggles, self-discovery, and finding his true calling.</p><p>Astro Hemant was born in 1983 in a Punjabi family, with no connection to astrology. After 10th grade, life took a difficult turn when his father&rsquo;s business collapsed. The family&rsquo;s financial condition changed drastically, and along with studies, a new responsibility landed on his shoulders&mdash;earning for the household.</p><p>He started his first job as an office boy in the telecom sector. From serving water, arranging files, to running basic errands&mdash;he never considered the work &ldquo;small.&rdquo; Within two years, through sheer hard work and determination, he rose to become the boss in the same place.</p><p>After telecom, he worked in insurance and banking sectors. His professional growth was rapid. Soon, he became the branch manager of a multinational bank. The career track looked perfect.</p><p>But with success came a hidden danger&mdash;overconfidence. He started his own business, but lacked experience.</p><p><strong>Result: A loss of 2 crore rupees, which shook his entire life.</strong></p><p>This was his first big wake-up call. At that moment, he asked himself:<br>
&ldquo;Why did the same downfall happen to both me and my father?&rdquo;</p><p>The answer came when a Guru entered his life. The Guru advised: <em>&ldquo;Start reading Lal Kitab.&rdquo;</em></p><p>From 2014 to 2018, Astro Hemant studied Lal Kitab in depth. He didn&rsquo;t just read it&mdash;he implemented its wisdom in his own life. He cleared debts, regained stability, and transformed his direction.</p><p>After 2018, he made it his mission to help others transform their lives through this knowledge. To the date, he has trained over 2000 students, who are now applying Lal Kitab&rsquo;s principles to change their lives and the lives of their clients.</p><p><img src="https://pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PNN-2025-08-18T172849.350.jpg" alt="Astro " width="1200" height="675"></p><p>For many, Lal Kitab is either a puzzle or a buzzword. But for Astro Hemant, it&rsquo;s a living language.</p><p>&ldquo;People think astrology is only about predicting the future,&rdquo; he says, &ldquo;but the real magic lies in understanding patterns&mdash;and then learning how to change them.&rdquo;</p><p>The charm of Lal Kitab lies in its simplicity:</p><p>For Astro Hemant, these rituals are not superstition but scientifically calculated tools, uniquely designed for each individual.</p><p>One of the most widely known terms in astrology is Mangal Dosha. It is believed that if Mars is wrongly placed, it will create problems in marriage. Thousands of websites run &ldquo;quick Manglik checks,&rdquo; remedies, and puja packages.</p><p>But Astro Hemant says:<br>
&ldquo;In my experience, real Mangal Dosha is not as common as people think. And even when it exists, in most cases it can be neutralised.&rdquo;</p><p>His clear stance: Mangal Dosha is not a life sentence, but a manageable condition. Astrology is not meant to sell fear&mdash;it is a tool for preparation.</p><p>&ldquo;Like a weather forecast&mdash;if a storm is coming, don&rsquo;t panic, just carry an umbrella.&rdquo;</p><p>Written between 1939&ndash;1952, the authorship of Lal Kitab is still debated&mdash;Pandit Roop Chand Joshi or a collective work? Its blend of Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, and Persian makes it unique.</p><p>It is based on the Kal Purush Kundali system, where an Aries ascendant is fixed, challenging the norms of traditional astrology.</p><p>Astro Hemant says, &ldquo;This book is not for rote learning, but for deep understanding.&rdquo; He doesn&rsquo;t pick remedies from a random list; he designs them according to the person, their life, and the timing.</p><p>Astro Hemant never presents Shani Sade Sati or Mangal Dosha as curses. His motto is simple: &ldquo;These are conditions, and they can be managed.&rdquo;</p><p>During festivals, he explains remedies through cultural connections&mdash;like linking Navratri&rsquo;s 9 goddesses to planets, or explaining the planetary science behind colors, offerings, and tilak placement.</p><p>Along with clients, Astro Hemant also trains students. &ldquo;Books can tell you what to do, but a mentor teaches you how to see.&rdquo;</p><p>He has turned Lal Kitab into more than just theory&mdash;it has become a path of practical mentorship.</p><p>People return because here, they don&rsquo;t just get remedies&mdash;they get clarity.<br>
And in today&rsquo;s uncertain world, clarity is the real luxury.</p><p>Astro Hemant may not change your destiny overnight&mdash;but he will surely transform your relationship with your destiny.<br>
And sometimes, stars don&rsquo;t need to be rewritten&hellip; they just need to be read the right way.</p><p><strong>Connect with Astro Hemant</strong></p><p>Instagram: <strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/astrohemantofficial">@astrohemantofficial</a></strong></p><p>YouTube: <strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@astrohemantofficial">@astrohemantofficial</a></strong></p><p>Facebook: <strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/astrohemantofficial">@astrohemantofficial</a></strong></p><p>Website: <strong><a href="http://astrohemant.com">astrohemant.com</a></strong></p><p><em> If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], August 11: </strong>The much-awaited biopic Vijeyta has officially unveiled its poster, offering audiences a first glimpse into the extraordinary journey of Dr Rajesh K Agarwal &mdash; a man who rose from the bylanes of Kolkata to become one of the UAE&rsquo;s most respected billionaires and a global voice for sustainability.</p><p>Directed by Rajiv S Ruia and produced under the banner of RKG Movies by Dr Rajesh K Agarwal himself, Vijeyta promises to be an emotional, gritty, and inspirational tale. The film stars Ravi Bhatia, Gyan Prakash, Bharati Awasthi, Diksha Thakur, Goodan Kumar, Pretty Aggarwal and others, written by Sandeep Nath bringing to life a narrative that blends personal triumphs with the challenges of business rivalry, underworld threats, and personal loss.</p><p>The striking poster, released on Monday, captures the film&rsquo;s core theme &mdash; &ldquo;Zero to Hero: A Real Life Journey&rdquo; &mdash; showing the protagonist soaring above a sea of supporters, symbolizing triumph over adversity.</p><p>Dr Rajesh K Agarwal&rsquo;s life reads like a modern-day epic. Born into a middle-class family in Kolkata, he began working as a teenage labourer to help his father, an agent in woollen and hosiery goods, support a family of seven. From packaging nylon undergarments in the late 1970s to building a flourishing garment business, his rise was fuelled by sheer perseverance and an unshakable value system.</p><p>But his ambitions reached far beyond textiles. With a vision anchored in sustainability, Agarwal ventured into metal recycling, founding RKG International FZC &mdash; now a global giant with operations in 33 countries. Today, as a Board Member of the Bureau of International Recycling (BMR) and an Ambassador for the Bureau of International Recycling (BIR), he influences global sustainability policies.</p><p>What sets Agarwal apart, however, is his commitment to giving back. A philanthropist dedicated to education, healthcare, and environmental causes, he has consistently placed legacy over luxury, proving that ethical business can be both profitable and transformative.</p><p>Speaking about the film, director Rajiv S Ruia said, &ldquo;Vijeyta is not just a story of financial success, it&rsquo;s about resilience, ethics, and the will to rise above all odds. Dr Agarwal&rsquo;s journey is one the world needs to see.&rdquo;</p><p>Vijeyta is slated for release on 19th September 2025 and is expected to inspire audiences with its blend of realism, hope, and emotional depth.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Surinder Films presents Robe Nirobe, a Rabindra Sangeet reimagined for our times, where every note carries the weight of longing, and every silence brims with meaning. Brought to life through the soulful voice and thoughtful arrangement of Samantak Sinha who has, over the years, carved a space for himself as one of the most expressive interpreters of Tagore&rsquo;s songs since Ganer Opare, directed by legendary Rituporno Ghosh.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Directed by Paramita Banerjee, this isn&rsquo;t just a music video. It&rsquo;s a cinematic meditation on what it means to love and lose across the invisible borders drawn by belief systems.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Rahul Dev Bose and Debadrita Basu, coming together on screen after three years, portray rival political leaders whose shared past lingers just beneath the surface of power and propaganda. Their chemistry unfolds not in dramatic declarations, but in glances and silences.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As the haunting melody begins and the story gently unravels, Robe Nirobe emerges as more than a video. It is a cultural moment. One that asks us to listen, not just with our ears, but with empathy. Premiering soon on the official platforms of Surinder Films, this is where music, memory, and meaning collide. Don&rsquo;t miss it.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<p><b>Surat (Gujarat) [India], August 6: </b>A few years ago, catching an IMAX film meant a long drive to Ahmedabad or a flight to Mumbai. It wasn&rsquo;t a casual evening plan &ndash; it was a commitment. That&rsquo;s what made last weekend feel different in Surat. For the first time, folks walked into a theatre right here in the city, grabbed their popcorn, and settled into an IMAX auditorium. No travel. No compromise.</p><p>The credit goes to <b>Rajhans Cinemas</b>, who recently launched the city&rsquo;s first IMAX screen at their Precia multiplex. It&rsquo;s part of their 14-screen setup &ndash; one of the largest in the country &ndash; but this one screen is already making the most noise.</p><p>Inside, it&rsquo;s not just bigger. The screen curves slightly, the sound fills the space from all angles, and scenes feel a bit more alive. For a city that loves its cinema, this feels like a quiet upgrade that many didn&rsquo;t know they were waiting for.</p><p><img src="https://pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Rajhans-IMAX-PNNN.jpg" alt="Rajhans Cinemas IMAX PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>To be fair, Surat isn&rsquo;t new to luxury theatres. But IMAX, with its specific technology &ndash; laser projection, high-contrast visuals, and that signature immersive audio &ndash; was still out of reach. Not anymore.</p><p>&ldquo;This isn&rsquo;t about bringing a trend to Surat,&rdquo; says <b>Jayesh Desai</b>, Chairman of Rajhans Group. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s about matching expectations. Audiences today are very aware of what&rsquo;s possible. They deserve the best, wherever they are.&rdquo;</p><p>And from what we&rsquo;ve seen, the interest has been solid. Bookings were steady from day one. Shows filled up, especially for action films and big-budget releases. People came back for second viewings. Some just came out of curiosity.</p><p>What&rsquo;s interesting is how natural it all feels. The IMAX experience hasn&rsquo;t been hyped up too much &ndash; it&rsquo;s simply been made available. And people have responded in their own way.</p><p>In India, IMAX screens are still mostly seen in major metros &ndash; Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore. Surat&rsquo;s inclusion in that list is a sign of the times. Cities outside the top tier are growing fast. People have more disposable income, higher expectations, and a stronger pull toward shared experiences.</p><p>Rajhans Cinemas seems to have understood that shift. Their network is growing rapidly, with over 160 screens already running across the country and new projects underway in places like Noida, Chandigarh, Pune, and Chennai. But this move in Surat feels personal.</p><p>Maybe because it&rsquo;s home ground for them. Or maybe because it&rsquo;s the kind of city where word-of-mouth still matters more than marketing.</p><p>There was a time when people questioned the future of movie theatres. With so many streaming platforms and massive home TVs, why go out? But the IMAX experience reminds you &ndash; some things still feel different when shared.</p><p>Films like superhero sagas or high-stakes thrillers just hit harder with booming sound and large visuals. More importantly, they bring people together. In Surat, that&rsquo;s always been part of the charm &ndash; going to the movies is still a group affair, not just an individual escape.</p><p>&ldquo;Introducing IMAX was something we planned for a long time,&rdquo; Jayesh Desai adds. &ldquo;We wanted to do it right. Seeing people enjoy it, without us needing to oversell it, feels like a win.&rdquo;</p><p>There&rsquo;s a quiet confidence in that. No big banners, no celebrity cut-ribbons &ndash; just a better experience, offered simply. With 65 additional screens across 15 locations under development and slated for completion by mid-2026, Rajhans Cinemas is redefining how India&nbsp;watches&nbsp;movies.</p><p>It&rsquo;s early days still, but the early signs are encouraging. IMAX in Surat isn&rsquo;t just a novelty &ndash; it&rsquo;s becoming a regular part of weekend plans. And that&rsquo;s the real success here. Not flashy launches, but steady, honest adoption.</p><p>If anything, it shows that good experiences don&rsquo;t need dramatic packaging. Sometimes, just making something accessible is enough. Rajhans Cinemas has done that with IMAX. And Surat, with its usual no-fuss spirit, has welcomed it just as quietly.</p><p>It&rsquo;s not the kind of revolution that makes headlines. But it is the kind that changes habits.</p>

<p><strong>Surat (Gujarat) [India], August 9:</strong> Music has always been humankind&rsquo;s most compelling diplomat&mdash;traversing borders, disregarding red tape boundaries, and unifying traditions never previously met. This Raksha Bandhan, Surat saw such a cultural handshake in the guise of Gujarati Celtic Folk Fusion, as the millennia-old Gujarati folk song &ldquo;Kon Halave Limbdi Ne Kon Halave Pipdi&rdquo; is married with the somber elegance of the English&ndash;Celtic gem &ldquo;Scarborough Fair.&rdquo;</p><p>This union, executed by India&rsquo;s folk master Kashyap Dave and Western classical singer Vanya Bhatt, and arranged by producer Jimmy Desai, is not a novelty&mdash;it is a carefully woven cultural fabric. Here are seven reasons why this Indo&ndash;Anglo musical bridge shines in the age of disposable digital singles.</p><p>In contrast to algorithmic mashups, this piece respects the integrity of both traditions. The Gujarati rhythm is not lost to its earthy bohemianism, nor is the Celtic melody to its medieval elegance. Instead of competing, the two exist together&mdash;brought together like rakhi strings, separate yet inextricable.</p><p>&ldquo;Kon Halave Limbdi Ne Kon Halave Pipdi&rdquo; has the smell of post-monsoon earth and the look of rural Gujarat&mdash;women dancing in handloom ghagras in rhythm. Its poetic inquiry, &ldquo;Who will shake the neem tree, who will shake the pipal tree?&rdquo; is as evocative as it is direct, capturing an eternal rural scene.</p><p>Across is Scarborough Fair&mdash;full of English&ndash;Celtic legend, with lines cataloging impossible feats, shrouding desire and separation in poetic riddles. It&rsquo;s a track that breathes whispers of sea airs, thyme-scented slopes, and poignant goodbyes.</p><p>The amalgamation does not weaken, it heightens. The rhythmic play of the Gujarati composition coaxes the Celtic ballad into losing its reserve, while the ballad gives the folk song a nostalgic echo. It&rsquo;s an aural confluence where monsoon dances welcome autumn breezes.</p><p>Surat&rsquo;s rich history is the ideal backdrop. The city was home to the British East India Company&rsquo;s first factory in 1612, and this started centuries of cultural exchange. This performance is a contemporary reflection of that historical link&mdash;less trade, more mutual artistry.</p><p>Raksha Bandhan honors connections&mdash;between siblings, communities, and cultures. This concert captures that spirit, bringing together East and West in a musical bond. The blend becomes the metaphorical rakhi: fragile, complex, and representative of protection and bonding.</p><p>In an era of throwaway pop singles that crowd streaming services, Gujarati Celtic Folk Fusion reminds one of folk music&rsquo;s mission&mdash;to safeguard memory, identity, and emotional veracity. It&rsquo;s an album that can make the listener feel both the pang of return and the excitement of new horizons.</p><p>The biggest success of this union is how it breaks past the confines of mere novelty. It tells a greater truth&mdash;that folk music, wherever it comes from, has within it the heartbeat of its people. When these heartbeats synchronize, they form a rhythm that knows no geography, no language, no time.</p><p>Producer Jimmy Desai&rsquo;s arrangement ensures neither side loses its identity, yet both emerge transformed. Kashyap Dave&rsquo;s grounded, resonant delivery anchors the Gujarati verses, while Vanya Bhatt&rsquo;s crystalline tones lift the Celtic lines into the realm of the ethereal. The result is not a compromise, but a celebration.</p><p>In an age of music that&rsquo;s custom-built for fleeting clicks, this Raksha Bandhan gift is something different. It&rsquo;s a testament that the greatest creations are those which tread as carefully as possible between respect for heritage and a willingness to engage in conversation. This Gujarati Celtic Folk Fusion does just that&mdash;causing listeners to slow down, think, and, most importantly, listen.</p>

Shivangi&rsquo;s story sends a clear message&mdash;that it&rsquo;s never too late to rewrite your own narrative and step into the spotlight.</p><p>A Message for Women Everywhere</p><p>Addressing women who aspire to achieve greatness in their own lives, Shivangi says, &ldquo;Believe in your strength, embrace your uniqueness, and never stop chasing your dreams.&rdquo; Her words echo the essence of the pageant&rsquo;s vision&mdash;celebrating women who inspire through authenticity, resilience, and purpose.</p><p>Gratitude to the Pageant Team</p><p>Shivangi also expressed heartfelt appreciation for the Mrs. India International Queen team, acknowledging their tireless efforts in creating a platform that uplifts and celebrates women from all walks of life. &ldquo;Thank you for this incredible platform and experience. I am deeply grateful to the entire team for their guidance and support throughout this journey,&rdquo; she said.</p><p>A Queen Beyond the Crown</p><p>While the crown of Mrs. India Beautiful shines brightly on her head, Shivangi&rsquo;s true achievement lies in the impact she aims to create.

Her journey from self-doubt to the spotlight is a living testament to resilience, dedication, and the power of an unwavering support system.</p><p>Koyel&rsquo;s win is not just about the crown &mdash; it is about the values she stands for, the people who have lifted her up, and the causes she aims to champion.</p><p>Koyel attributes her success to the people who stood by her through every challenge. &ldquo;Behind every crown is a circle of love and strength,&rdquo; she says.

<p><strong>Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], August 9:</strong> Ranchi came alive on August 3 and 4, 2025, as the city hosted one of the most &nbsp; significant gatherings in the mountaineering world &mdash;&nbsp;<strong>The Himalayan Conclave &nbsp;2025 (Everest Summit 3.0)</strong>. Organised by the Ideate Inspire Ignite&nbsp;<a href="https://www.i3foundation.org/">(i3) &nbsp;Foundation</a>, the conclave brought together over 25 celebrated mountaineers from &nbsp;across India and abroad. For two days, the capital of Jharkhand transformed into a &nbsp;melting pot of courage, environmental consciousness, and inspiration, where &nbsp; adventure met advocacy.</p><p>The conclave drew some of the most inspiring figures in the world of mountaineering, &nbsp;including Jamling Tenzing Norgay, Padma Shri Premlata Agrawal, Chhongzin Angmo &nbsp;&mdash; the first visually impaired Indian to summit Everest &mdash; V. Kartikey, the youngest &nbsp; Indian to complete the Seven Summits, and Kamya Karthikeyan, the youngest female &nbsp;Seven Summiteer. Also present were Reena Bhatti, Anurag Malloo, Anindya &nbsp; Mukherjee, Col. P.S. Chohan, Lt. Col. Pooja Nautiyal, Satyarup Siddhanta, Sharad &nbsp;Kulkarni, Kewal Hiren Kakka, Bhushan Harse, Anmish Varma, Satyadeep Gupta, &nbsp;Debraj Dutta, Hemant Gupta, Malay Mukherjee, Jyoti Ratre, Dawa Tashi Sherpa &mdash; sole survivor of the 2014 Everest avalanche &mdash; and Rudra Prasad Halder.</p><p><img src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMjAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEyMDAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojZmZmZmZmO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==" alt="" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>The conclave found its true momentum in the dynamic synergy of Satyarup Siddhanta &nbsp;and Rajeev Gupta. Satyarup&rsquo;s record-shattering mountaineering triumphs and stirring &nbsp;vision of human potential ignited the audience&rsquo;s spirit, while Rajeev&rsquo;s trailblazing &nbsp; community initiatives and transformative leadership gave the gathering its strategic &nbsp;depth and lasting purpose. In his inaugural address, i3 Foundation founder and &nbsp;director Rajeev Gupta spoke with conviction: &ldquo;Mountaineers don&rsquo;t just scale summits; &nbsp; they elevate human consciousness. In the icy silence of the Himalayas, they hear the &nbsp;cry of a climate crisis that the entire world must now listen to.&rdquo;</p><p>Over the course of the two days, a series of powerful sessions took place. Climate &nbsp;change took centre stage in a discussion moderated by Anurag Malloo, where &nbsp;mountaineering and extreme sports legends like Anindya Mukherjee, Jamling &nbsp;Tenzing, Col. P.S. Chohan, SM (Gallantry), and Hemant Gupta highlighted how the &nbsp;rapidly changing Himalayan landscape is an urgent warning to humanity. Their &nbsp; message was clear: this is no longer a time to simply conquer peaks, but to restore and &nbsp;protect them. Adding a deeply personal dimension were stories of resilience, such as &nbsp;Chhongzin Angmo&rsquo;s battle to summit Everest despite complete blindness, V. &nbsp; Kartikey&rsquo;s Seven Summits feat at just 16, Kamya Karthikeyan&rsquo;s achievements at 17, and &nbsp;Dawa Tashi Sherpa&rsquo;s survival against impossible odds.</p><p><img src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMjAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDEyMDAgNjc1Ij48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBzdHlsZT0iZmlsbDojZmZmZmZmO2ZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eTogMC4xOyIvPjwvc3ZnPg==" alt="" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>A historic moment came with the presentation of the inaugural&nbsp;<strong>Tenzing Norgay &nbsp;Excellence Awards</strong>, honouring mountaineers for exceptional achievement, &nbsp; inspiration, and exploration in the Indian Himalayas. Jamling Tenzing Norgay &nbsp;personally presented the awards to Anmeesh Verma, Keval Kakka, Kamya &nbsp; Karthikeyan, Satyadeep Gupta, Sharad Kulkarni, Chhongzin Angmo, Premlata &nbsp;Agrawal, Umesh Zirpe, Anindya Mukherjee, Bhushan Harshe, and V. Kartikey. The</p><p>awards carried a special resonance, symbolising not just personal triumphs but a &nbsp;commitment to responsible mountaineering.</p><p>Women in adventure sports were celebrated in a spirited conversation moderated by &nbsp;Anuja Vaidya, featuring Aditi Vaidya, Kamya Karthikeyan, Reena Bhatti, Lt. Col. Pooja &nbsp;Nautiyal, and Jyoti Ratre. They shared deeply personal accounts of overcoming &nbsp; challenges to inspire a new generation of women explorers. The conclave also &nbsp;dedicated a session to fitness, safety, and resilience, with Hemant Gupta leading an &nbsp;engaging discussion alongside Kewal Hiren Kakka, Bhushan Harse, Anmish Varma, &nbsp;and Satyadeep Gupta, all of whom emphasised the importance of preparation, &nbsp;vigilance, and mental toughness.</p><p>The Himalayan Conclave 2025 was made possible through the support of the &nbsp;Department of Forest, Environment &amp; Climate Change, Government of Jharkhand, &nbsp; IMF East Zone, Central Coalfields Ltd (CCL), Tata Steel, Adani Power, CyberPeace &nbsp;Foundation, RBL Bank, FJCCI, Dr. Pranita Institute, DigiCrow Consulting, Jeevah &nbsp;Healthcare, Mission Blue Foundation and Pranami Group. Behind the scenes, months &nbsp; of meticulous planning and tireless work by Amit Modi, Kanishka Poddar, Alok Singh, &nbsp;Rohit Raj, Priti Gupta, and Abhijeet Vaibhav turned the event into a resounding &nbsp;success.</p><p>By the time the conclave concluded, Ranchi had added a new facet to its identity. &nbsp;Known for its mineral wealth, it is now also a city that champions courage, &nbsp;environmental awareness, and the spirit of exploration. As one speaker aptly summed &nbsp; it up: &ldquo;The heights of the Himalayas are no longer just for mountaineers; they are now &nbsp;the responsibility of every aware citizen.&rdquo;</p><p>If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

mental health, and climate change awareness. <p></p></p><p>This win has placed Parul on the radar of national and
international fashion and humanitarian circles. Her future endeavors include
amplifying social causes, promoting India&rsquo;s cultural richness on the world
stage, and mentoring young changemakers who, like her, believe that true beauty

rewards &mdash; they are responsibilities. And Parul Singh is ready to carry that
responsibility with heart, purpose,&nbsp;and&nbsp;pride.</p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], August 5: </strong>As the festive season draws near, music lovers and devotees are in for a divine treat. The iconic voice of&nbsp;<strong>Padma Shri Suresh Wadkar</strong>&nbsp;returns to the devotional genre with a deeply soulful single titled&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;Shri Ganpati Maharaj&rdquo;</strong>, releasing on&nbsp;<strong>August 7, 2025</strong>, under the newly launched spiritual music label&nbsp;<strong>OSM Bhakti</strong>. The bhajan is&nbsp;<strong>composed and musically arranged by KULLDEEP SANDHU</strong>, written by&nbsp;<strong>DINESH DEEPAK</strong>, and Project by&nbsp;<strong>S MUKHTIAR</strong>.</p><p>Crafted with traditional melody and heartfelt lyrics, &ldquo;Shri Ganpati Maharaj&rdquo; beautifully captures the devotion, purity, and energy associated with&nbsp;<strong>Lord Ganesha</strong>, the remover of obstacles and harbinger of prosperity. The song combines classical Indian musical roots with modern orchestration to deliver a piece that touches both the heart and soul.</p><p>In a heartfelt statement,&nbsp;<strong>Suresh Wadkar</strong>&nbsp;shared his experience recording this special bhajan, expressing his admiration for the composition and the vision behind the project:</p><p>&ldquo;<strong>OSM Bhakti&nbsp;</strong>, based in Delhi, brought a truly beautiful Ganpati Bappa song to me. The composition by&nbsp;<strong>KULLDEEP SANDHU</strong>&nbsp;is incredibly sweet and melodious. After many years, I&rsquo;ve sung such a highly resonant and spiritually uplifting Ganpati song, and I was so moved that I personally requested the producers to translate and recreate it in&nbsp;<strong>Marathi</strong>. It was a heartfelt desire that came from deep within.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve sung both versions of the song for Kulldeep ji. He is an exceptionally&nbsp;<strong>melodious composer</strong>, and his musical sensibility is both pure and refined. This Ganpati bhajan is very close to my heart &mdash; it&rsquo;s the kind of devotional track that every household should preserve in their music collection. I am sincerely thankful to&nbsp;<strong>KULLDEEP ji</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>MUKHTIAR ji</strong>, and the entire team at&nbsp;<strong>OSM Bhakti</strong>&nbsp;for giving me this opportunity. I am confident that with Lord Ganesha&rsquo;s blessings, this song will reach every home and bring divine joy and energy.&rdquo;</p><p>The release of &ldquo;Shri Ganpati Maharaj&rdquo; marks a&nbsp;<strong>historic beginning for OSM Bhakti</strong>, as it is the&nbsp;<strong>first official project launched under the label</strong>. This milestone reflects the label&rsquo;s commitment to delivering devotional and culturally rich music to audiences around the globe.</p><p>Behind OSM Bhakti&rsquo;s vision is&nbsp;<strong>Manpreet Kaur</strong>, the label&rsquo;s founder and owner, whose mission is to revive the timeless essence of bhakti sangeet in a modern format. Speaking about this first release, she shared:</p><p>&ldquo;We at OSM Bhakti are thrilled to launch our musical journey with a project as special as &lsquo;Shri Ganpati Maharaj&rsquo;. With legends like&nbsp;<strong>Suresh Wadkar ji</strong>&nbsp;and gifted musicians like&nbsp;<strong>KULLDEEP SANDHU ji</strong>, this song is a blessing for us. It reflects our core philosophy &ndash; to spread spiritual bliss through high-quality, meaningful devotional music. This is just the beginning. We are already working on more devotional songs that will continue to celebrate Indian traditions and uplift the soul.&rdquo;</p><p><strong>Composer KULLDEEP SANDHU</strong>, who has created the composition with depth and devotion, expressed his gratitude for being part of this inaugural project:</p><p>&ldquo;Working with&nbsp;<strong>Suresh Wadkar ji</strong>&nbsp;has been a dream. He added magic to the composition. My aim was to create a melody that does justice to Bappa&rsquo;s glory and connects deeply with listeners. I&rsquo;m thankful to OSM Bhakti and the entire team for trusting this vision.&rdquo;</p><p>As the sacred festival of&nbsp;<strong>Ganesh Chaturthi</strong>&nbsp;approaches, &ldquo;Shri Ganpati Maharaj&rdquo; is poised to become a musical centerpiece in every celebration, prayer, and home. The track blends devotion, art, and emotion &mdash; making it a must-listen for those seeking spiritual connection through music.</p><p>The song will be available on&nbsp;<strong>YouTube</strong>&nbsp;via&nbsp;<strong>OSM Bhakti</strong>&nbsp;and all major streaming platforms starting&nbsp;<strong>August 7, 2025</strong>.</p><p>If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<p><strong>Surat (Gujarat) [India], August 6:</strong> While the holy thread of Raksha Bandhan binds brothers and sisters in a relation of care and love, another thread&mdash;entwined in the literature of Devavani (the language of the gods)&mdash;silently makes the cultural DNA of Bharat stronger. World Sanskrit Day, which comes every year on Shravan Purnima, is not merely an ode to a classical language&mdash;it&rsquo;s a clarion call to bring back a civilisation&rsquo;s soul.</p><p>For more than 15 years now, &lsquo;Vishvasya Vrutantam&rsquo;, a Sanskrit newspaper based out of Surat, Gujarat, has remained a testament to that behest. At a time when online chatter swamps cultural complexity, this newspaper has elected against-the-grain articulation&mdash;in Sanskrit.</p><p>To many, Sanskrit is a language locked in the sanctum of temples, fit for chants and rituals alone. But ask <strong>Shri Shivraj Jha &ldquo;Shantey&rdquo;</strong>, the articulate editor of <em>Vishvasya Vrutantam</em>, and he&rsquo;ll dismantle that perception with clarity:</p><p>&ldquo;Sanskrit isn&rsquo;t just ritualistic. It&rsquo;s scientific. It&rsquo;s poetic. It&rsquo;s philosophical. It&rsquo;s precise. And above all, it&rsquo;s alive&mdash;if we let it live.&rdquo;</p><p>The paper doesn&rsquo;t just report in Sanskrit. It speaks to today&rsquo;s reader&mdash;whether it&rsquo;s politics, science, sports, or social movements, <em>Vishvasya Vrutantam</em> presents it all in <strong>accessible, journalistic Sanskrit</strong>. That&rsquo;s not merely reportage; that&rsquo;s a revolution in disguise.</p><p>What began as a local initiative has grown into a <strong>global cultural bridge</strong>. With readers not just in India but also in Ireland, the US, and other parts of Europe, the publication has carved a niche in unexpected places.</p><p>Ireland, for instance, has introduced Sanskrit in some of its primary schools&mdash;something India might do well to emulate more ambitiously. The irony is not lost: as the West rediscovers Indic wisdom systems, Indians often regard Sanskrit as &ldquo;too difficult&rdquo; or &ldquo;outdated.&rdquo;</p><p>At the heart of this unique media venture is <strong>Murtaza Khambhatwala</strong>, the publisher who believed that Sanskrit deserved its place on breakfast tables, just like English or Hindi. For him, the decision was simple:</p><p>&ldquo;If we can publish dailies in dozens of Indian languages, why should Sanskrit remain sidelined&mdash;the very mother of them all?&rdquo;</p><p>Khambhatwala&rsquo;s vision isn&rsquo;t fuelled by nostalgia; it&rsquo;s a strategy to make Sanskrit <strong>visible, usable, and modern</strong>. The publication circulates digitally to hundreds of readers, offers simplified sentence structures, and makes room for contemporary content&mdash;all while upholding linguistic purity.</p><p>In 2019, the Gujarat edition of the Sanskrit Bharati convention witnessed the Vishvasya Vrutantam team being honored by the Chief Minister himself. It was not just a token gesture&mdash;it was an institutional recognition of a movement that was grassroots in nature.</p><p>The journal has documented more than 600 key events in Sanskrit such as cultural events like the Prayagraj Mahakumbh, government schemes, and educational reforms in Uttar Pradesh. Symbolically, these articles were handed over in the form of a book to CM Yogi Adityanath, further strengthening the position of Sanskrit not merely in tradition but also in governance and communication.</p><p>With the New Education Policy (NEP) giving Sanskrit a renewed place in school curricula, the need for <strong>day-to-day content in the language</strong> is now greater than ever. Textbooks alone won&rsquo;t breathe life into Sanskrit&mdash;it needs <strong>conversational, contemporary use</strong>, which this newspaper supplies with consistency.</p><p>What <em>Vishvasya Vrutantam</em> is doing is something few institutions have managed: <strong>normalising Sanskrit</strong>. Not just for ceremonies or slogans, but for analysis, interviews, editorials, and even advertisements.</p><p>If Sanskrit is to reassert itself as the foundation of Indian intellectual life, it needs to become a contemporary language, not a retro one. That implies pulling it out of upper-class seminars and putting it into WhatsApp groups, newspaper columns, YouTube interviews, and podcasts.</p><p>And that&rsquo;s precisely what Vishvasya Vrutantam is planning. With new audio editions, mobile-friendly editions, and content for learners of Sanskrit, this is not a book&mdash;it&rsquo;s a movement of the people, a people&rsquo;s language movement.</p><p>On this World Sanskrit Day, while India balances between fast modernisation and rediscovery of culture, the need for Sanskrit is no longer a point of argument. It is the tongue of Ayurveda, of Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, of mathematics of Bhaskaracharya, of drama of Kalidasa, and of a thousand-year-old civilizational dialogue.</p><p><strong>Sanskrit is not merely a language, it is the operating system of Indic wisdom.</strong></p><p>And in Surat, a small but mighty team of journalists is making sure that operating system stays updated&mdash;daily.</p><p>To forget Sanskrit is to forget the DNA of Bharat. But to revive it, we don&rsquo;t need revolutions. We need routines.<br>
Newspapers such as Vishvasya Vrutantam are demonstrating that Sanskrit journalism is no novelty&mdash;it is a need.</p><p><strong>This World Sanskrit Day,</strong> let the word resound in every Indian household:<strong> &#2360;&#2306;&#2360;&#2381;&#2325;&#2371;&#2340;&#2306; &#2332;&#2368;&#2357;&#2340;&#2367; &mdash; Sanskrit Lives.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 30: </strong>Sonu Nigam always addresses his fans as his &ldquo;extended family&rdquo;. And their symbiotic relationship and bond doesn&rsquo;t just show in terms of the kind of love his music and concerts garner across the world, but also in the way he reciprocates his gratitude towards them. Last year, on his birthday, the legendary singer invited fans from across the country to Mumbai for the premiere of his musical documentary Symphony of Fate, which was followed by an intimate celebration with them. And, his 52nd birthday on July 30, too, is going to be equally heartwarming, as the Padma Shri recipient will launch a new single, Kahani Meri, with his youngest fan in attendance. The launch we saw the presence of Talat Aziz, Rahul Vaidya, Mame Khan, Sudesh Bhosle, Jeet Ganguli, Anu Malik, Pawandeep Rajan, Sameer Anjaan, Shahid Mallya, Vipin Aneja &amp; Many More.<br>
<img src="https://pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Sonu-1-1.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675"></p><p>The track, sung by Sonu Nigam and composed by PVNS Rohit, features a beautiful blend of Hindustani and Carnatic classical music. Speaking about the song and having his youngest admirer Vedarrth launch it, <strong>Sonu Nigam says:</strong></p><p>&ldquo;I have always been full of gratitude for my extended family across the world for all the love and blessings they shower on me and my endeavours. Be it an 80-year-old elderly or a newborn listening to my music &mdash; sustaining for over 47 years as a musician and still receiving love for my craft wouldn&rsquo;t have been possible without the blessings of people across ages. That makes me bow down in gratitude. I always try to stay connected to my extended family, and on my birthday, I will be celebrating it with Vedarrth, who shares his birthday with me and turns one this year. His parents tell me that he has been an ardent admirer of my music since he was in his mother&rsquo;s womb and continues to be so. Having him launch Kahani Meri, a song that&rsquo;s extremely close to my heart, would be heartening.&rdquo;</p><p><strong>Sonu Nigam adds</strong> that Kahani Meri marks a musical journey of the soul and is a reminder to let life happen to you, to surrender to the journey rather than chase the destination. Its music video was shot in the majestic and serene landscape of Leh to highlight a poetic reflection of self and the powerful moments that shape who we are. It&rsquo;s released by Sonu Nigam&rsquo;s music label I Believe Music and distributed by Global Music Junction.</p><p><strong>Rajkumar Singh, Founder &amp; CEO, Global Music Junction, says:</strong></p><p>&ldquo;At Global Music Junction, we take immense pride in collaborating with artistes to create groundbreaking music across all genres.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], July 31: </strong>The grand launch of the Scientific Life Counselling Gurukul, a visionary initiative by Parampujya Gurudev Shri Pankajbhai&mdash;an Ex-BARC Scientist turned Spiritual Master and Educationist&mdash;was held with great fervour and reverence. The event witnessed overwhelming participation from individuals, families, and organisations, bringing together people from all age groups and strata of society, united by a shared aspiration for conscious living and holistic well-being.</p><p>The event commenced with powerful mantra chanting by revered Acharyas, invoking a serene and spiritually charged atmosphere. This was followed by the Guru Pournima Celebration, during which Gurudev Shri Pankajbhai delivered an enlightening discourse. He shared that Guru Puja is not merely the worship of an external figure but a sacred practice of recognising and bowing to the inner Guru&mdash;the eternal guide that lives within each of us.</p><p>&ldquo;Our aim is not to create followers, but awakened individuals. The true Guru lives within you&mdash;our work is to help you hear that voice clearly,&rdquo; said Gurudev.</p><p>A unique and impactful highlight of the event was a series of skits that portrayed real-life challenges and showcased the holistic solutions taught through the Scientific Life Counselling Workshops. These dramatizations reflected how deeply rooted problems&mdash;be it emotional turmoil, relationship breakdowns, or life dilemmas&mdash;can be resolved and healed from their root causes using principles rooted in nature, consciousness, and scientific understanding.</p><p>Adding to the significance of the occasion, esteemed dignitaries and chief guests were invited on stage for the official unveiling of the powerful new book &ldquo;The Concept of Paramsukh&rdquo; authored by Gurudev Shri Pankajbhai. The book offers transformative insights into achieving lasting inner bliss through conscious living and self-awareness.</p><p>The most awaited moment of the day was the unveiling of the Scientific Life Counselling Gurukul. Gurudev beautifully elaborated on its unique approach and relevance in today&rsquo;s fast-paced world. The Gurukul is not just an educational institution&mdash;it is a lifelong support ecosystem, guiding individuals through all stages of life&mdash;from the mother&rsquo;s womb to one&rsquo;s final journey.</p><p>&ldquo;I want to re-establish this ancient Indian Gurukul system in modern India. I want all families and the entire nation to become part of this movement&mdash;gradually taking this Gurukul concept to the whole world,&rdquo; expressed Gurudev Shri Pankajbhai with conviction.</p><p>What sets this Gurukul apart is its focus on seven core dimensions of human wellness:</p><p>Physical, Spiritual, Intellectual, Emotional, Relationship, Financial, and Social.</p><p>Each of these dimensions is addressed through a balanced blend of ancient wisdom and modern scientific tools, fostering total well-being and deep-rooted transformation.</p><p>This initiative also marks a pivotal step in the &nbsp;mission of establishing Divine Scientific Wellness Centres across every village, district, city, and metro in India, making holistic guidance accessible to every household.</p><p>&ldquo;We are planting seeds of self-awareness today, so future generations live in harmony&mdash;with themselves, their relationships, and nature,&rdquo; Gurudev shared during his closing blessings.</p><p>The event concluded with immense positivity, spiritual energy, and deep reflection&mdash;marking not just the launch of an institution, but the beginning of a movement toward healing, awakening, and the rediscovery of inner joy. The Scientific Life Counselling Gurukul now opens its arms to seekers from all walks of life, offering a timeless path to clarity, peace, and wholeness.</p><p>If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], July 29:</strong> Jolly Motion Pictures, helmed by accomplished visual storyteller Jatin Dharna, announces the launch of its latest travel-themed campaign, featuring popular actors Shweta Tiwari and Palak Tiwari. This ambitious project sets a new standard in branded travel content by seamlessly blending authenticity, glamour, and emotional storytelling to offer a refreshingly candid look at travel through the lens of a real-life mother-daughter duo.</p><p>Filmed across picturesque real-world locations, the campaign moves away from the heavily staged approach typical of traditional travel advertisements. Instead, Jatin Dharna and his team at Jolly Motion Pictures sought to capture spontaneous moments and genuine interactions between Shweta and Palak Tiwari, crafting a visual narrative that feels as personal and relatable as thumbing through the pages of a holiday diary. Audiences are invited to witness a unique blend of sunlit scenery, heartfelt exchanges, and unfiltered laughter, all captured with an intuitive directorial style.</p><p>Having previously collaborated with high-profile names such as Prateik Smita Patil and Priya Banerjee, Jolly Motion Pictures and Jatin Dharna have built a strong reputation for producing innovative branded content that resonates with audiences and challenges industry conventions. The new campaign with Shweta and Palak Tiwari stands as another testament to this vision, aiming to redefine how Bollywood personalities engage with travel and lifestyle branding.</p><p>Jatin Dharna, who boasts over 15 years of experience and a portfolio encompassing more than 200 commercial projects, has become known in the industry for his heart-first approach and collaborative spirit. By creating relaxed, pressure-free environments on set, he enables talent to express themselves authentically, resulting in visuals that are both stunning and relatable. This philosophy is evident throughout the new campaign, where Shweta and Palak Tiwari&rsquo;s natural chemistry and candid moments drive the emotional core of the story. The final product is a campaign that feels immersive, emotional, and far removed from the expected norms of celebrity endorsements.</p><p>At the heart of Jolly Motion Pictures is a joyful mission, perfectly encapsulated by Jatin&rsquo;s mantra: &ldquo;Jolly means happy. That&rsquo;s the only rule we follow.&rdquo; This ethos infuses every project, making even commercial work feel personal, memorable, and full of life.</p><p>As Jatin Dharna and his team continue to pioneer fresh approaches to content creation, audiences can expect a dynamic lineup of celebrity-led campaigns, films, and music videos set to roll out in the coming months. With every project, Jolly Motion Pictures remains committed to its company ethos: delivering stories that are not only visually stunning but also joyful and genuinely human. Further updates and releases from Jolly Motion Pictures are&nbsp;expected&nbsp;soon.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<p><strong>Stuttgart [Germany], July 31</strong>: At the 22nd edition of the Indian Film Festival Stuttgart, two outstanding Indian feature films took centre stage, earning the festival&rsquo;s top accolades. Vinod Kapri&rsquo;s poignant drama Pyre was honored with the &lsquo;German Star of India&rsquo;, the festival&rsquo;s highest award, while Ravi Gautam&rsquo;s intense political thriller Soch &ndash; A Perception won the &lsquo;Director&rsquo;s Vision Award&rsquo;, celebrating bold and original filmmaking.</p><p>Pyre, directed by National Award-winner Vinod Kapri, tells the deeply emotional story of an elderly couple living in the remote Himalayas as they grapple with loneliness, abandonment, and the harsh realities of migration. The film has already garnered international acclaim for its sensitive storytelling, visual elegance, and profound humanity. At Stuttgart, Pyre was recognised not only for its cinematic quality but for its quiet power in shedding light on social issues often overlooked in mainstream cinema. Kapri&rsquo;s ability to convey emotional depth through minimalist storytelling resonated strongly with both the jury and the audience.</p><p>Ravi Gautam&rsquo;s Soch &ndash; A Perception explores the story of police officer Priyanka Negi, who is assigned to investigate a charred corpse found in the Himalayas&mdash;suspected to be that of missing activist Shaila. As the investigation unfolds, the film lays bare the intersections of media manipulation, communal tensions, and systemic prejudice. Through an increasingly hostile environment, the protagonist confronts political pressure and societal bias. Gautam was honored with the Director&rsquo;s Vision Award for his fearless approach to storytelling and his strong, character-driven narrative that challenges the audience to confront uncomfortable truths.</p><p>The award for Best Short Film was presented to Almari Ka Achaar &ndash; Cupboard Pickle, directed by Raakesh Rawat. Set in the vibrant, chaotic lanes of Mumbai, the film gently follows the lives of two middle-aged Rajasthani migrants, Prakash and Mohan, who have created a quiet, meaningful life working in a small kirana store. With tenderness and simplicity, the short captures themes of migration, belonging, and unspoken companionship. Rawat&rsquo;s ability to convey emotional nuance in a brief runtime stood out to the jury.</p><p>The Best Documentary Film award went to Log Kya Kahenge &ndash; What Will People Say, directed by Rafina Khatun. The powerful documentary centers on a young Muslim radio presenter who challenges patriarchal oppression and speaks up for the marginalized in a society that seeks to silence her. The film not only highlights the personal courage of its protagonist but also draws attention to broader social injustices faced by women and minority communities in contemporary India. Khatun&rsquo;s documentary was applauded for its clarity of vision and emotional impact.</p><p>Zero Se Restart, a documentary film by Jaskunwar Kohli, was honored with the Audience Award. The film struck a deep emotional chord with viewers, who appreciated its raw storytelling and authentic engagement with issues of resilience and personal transformation. The award highlighted the strong connection between the filmmaker and the audience, demonstrating the power of cinema to move and inspire.</p><p>With its 22nd edition, the <strong><a href="https://indisches-filmfestival.de">Indian Film Festival Stuttgart</a></strong> has once again reaffirmed its status as Europe&rsquo;s largest and most significant festival dedicated exclusively to Indian cinema. The awards for Pyre and Soch &ndash; A Perception, alongside other compelling winners, showcased the evolving voice of Indian filmmakers&mdash;fearless, socially aware, and artistically ambitious.</p><p><em> If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.

<p><strong>Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], July 29: </strong>&nbsp;In a city that thrives on tech and transformation, one family took a different route &mdash; from writing code to caring for canines. Meet Rahul Ranjan, Annie Grace, and Abhishek Prakash &mdash; three accomplished professionals in the IT space, who also happen to be a family. Together, they&rsquo;ve built one of Bangalore&rsquo;s most loved pet boarding and care centres: Pups N Cups.</p><p>Nestled in the quiet lanes of Harlur, just minutes from HSR Layout and Sarjapur Road, Pups N Cups is a premium yet affordable pet resort that blends professional precision with the comfort of home. What started as a personal need soon evolved into a vision &mdash; to reimagine pet care in India with warmth, structure, and heart.</p><p>Like many in their industry, the trio spent years traveling across time zones, handling global projects, and climbing the corporate ladder. But one thing always tugged at their hearts: leaving their dogs behind.</p><p>&ldquo;We were those people who packed our dog&rsquo;s food before our own, and called home three times just to check if they&rsquo;d eaten,&rdquo; says Rahul, Founder of Pups N Cups and Director of GRIC (Global Risk &amp; Compliance) at a global payments company. &ldquo;No matter how structured our work lives were, saying goodbye to our pets never got easier.&rdquo;</p><p>The family tried various options &mdash; kennels, hostels, even high-end facilities &mdash; but something always felt missing. &ldquo;They were either clinical or chaotic. What we longed for was care &mdash; real, thoughtful, consistent care,&rdquo; adds Annie, a Director leading automation for Corporate and IoT services.</p><p>So they made a bold decision: if the right place didn&rsquo;t exist, they would build it.</p><p>Drawing on their IT expertise, the family built Pups N Cups with the same dedication and process they bring to global tech projects &mdash; but with the heart of pet parents.</p><p>Rahul focused on operational excellence &mdash; designing SOPs for everything from hygiene protocols to medication schedules, ensuring that every dog&rsquo;s experience is safe, consistent, and well-communicated.</p><p>Annie applied her systems-thinking to design seamless daily workflows and a user-friendly onboarding process that reflects the same attention to detail as any enterprise platform &mdash; only here, it&rsquo;s tailored for tails.</p><p>Abhishek , a Senior Data Scientist at a leading consulting firm, added a layer of intelligence. &ldquo;We use behavioural and health data to adjust play schedules, manage stress triggers, and personalise routines,&rdquo; he shares. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not about one-size-fits-all care &mdash; it&rsquo;s about tuning into each dog&rsquo;s unique rhythm.&rdquo;</p><p>What truly sets Pups N Cups apart is the feeling that it&rsquo;s not just a business &mdash; it&rsquo;s a home, run by a family who treats every dog like their own.</p><p>Their first in-house adoption was Chintu , a scrappy little indie with charm and mischief in equal measure. Today, he&rsquo;s part host, part troublemaker, and 100% family. He was followed by Gracy , who found her forever home, and Laxmi , a community dog cared for daily by the staff and neighbours alike. He belongs to no one and everyone &mdash; a quiet reminder that care doesn&rsquo;t always need ownership.</p><p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re a family that cares for pets like family,&rdquo; says Rahul. &ldquo;Whether it&rsquo;s our dogs or someone else&rsquo;s &mdash; they&rsquo;re all treated with the same love, patience, and responsibility.&rdquo;</p><p>Today, the centre welcomes everyone &mdash; golden retrievers, rescued indies, senior dogs, first-time parents, and even students who just miss their pets back home. There&rsquo;s no judgment, no breed preference, just a quiet, warm welcome.</p><p>As Bangalore&rsquo;s pet population continues to grow, so does the need for reliable, compassionate care. Pups N Cups has quietly become a model for what modern pet boarding should look like &mdash; not flashy or franchise-driven, but intentional, ethical, and deeply personal.</p><p>While the trio continues their full-time careers in tech, they remain hands-on in shaping the vision, team culture, and experience. A dedicated on-ground staff manages day-to-day care &mdash; backed by processes, empathy, and yes, a lot of belly rubs.</p><p>Their goal remains beautifully simple: to offer everything a dog might need &mdash; play, rest, nourishment, and medical support &mdash; in one calm, caring space.</p><p>In an industry often driven by scale and margins, Pups N Cups stands out for what it brings back: trust, love, and the comfort of knowing your dog is in good hands &mdash; family hands.</p><p><strong>Media Contact:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Email &ndash; <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a><br>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span lang="EN-IN">In a historic moment for India's live music scene, SR Entertainment, a Gujarat-based event management powerhouse, is set to bring global pop sensation Bruno Mars to India for the very first time. The multi-Grammy Award-winning artist will headline a 4-city India tour in November 2025, promising a spectacle of music, dance, and unmatched energy across some of the country&rsquo;s most iconic venues.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">This marks a significant milestone in India&rsquo;s growing reputation as a must-stop destination for global music artists. The tour will span Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and for the first time ever, Guwahati &mdash; positioning Assam as the new entertainment hotspot in the Northeast.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">Tickets for the Bruno Mars India Tour will go live on August 2 for pre-sale, and August 4 for general sale exclusively at </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #f41010;"><a style="color: #f41010;" href="http://www.srentertainment.in" target="_new">www.srentertainment.in</a></span><span lang="EN-IN">.</span></p>

<h2><span lang="EN-IN"> A Landmark Tour for Indian Pop Culture</span></h2>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">SR Entertainment, known for pioneering international music experiences in India, has curated a tour that aims to deliver the high-octane, genre-blending sound Bruno Mars is globally celebrated for &mdash; from funk and soul to R&amp;B, pop, and dancefloor hits.</span></p>

<p><span lang="EN-IN">&ldquo;This tour is more than just a concert series &mdash; it's a cultural moment. Bruno Mars represents global excellence in live entertainment, and we are proud to be the company bringing him to Indian shores,&rdquo; said a spokesperson for SR Entertainment. &ldquo;We want fans in every corner of India to feel seen, and that&rsquo;s why this tour includes cities like Guwahati, not just the metro hubs.&rdquo;</span></p>

<p><span lang="EN-IN">The buzz in the region is already electric. With Bruno Mars set to perform there in November, and Post Malone slated for a December show in the same city, Guwahati is fast becoming the Northeast&rsquo;s entertainment capital.</span></p>

<p>Produced by Dice Media Production and directed by Ameet Guptha, the series stars the OTT duo - Sheeba Chaddha and Rajesh Tailang.</p><p>Sometimes, the smallest homes hold the biggest stories. Embracing this truth, ZEE5 announces its latest slice-of-life original series, Bakaiti. Produced by Dice Media, Bakaiti marks the much-awaited return of Sheeba Chaddha and Rajesh Tailang as parents. The trailer which released today gives a glimpse of the duo&rsquo;s effortless chemistry on-screen, making it an absolute treat to watch. At its core, Bakaiti captures the essence of a middle-class family where bickering, banter, and blowups are just another way of saying &ldquo;I love you.&rdquo; No matter how loud the fights get, they always find their way back to each other. Things like &lsquo;cooler band kar diya?&rsquo;, &lsquo;Light bill bhardo&rsquo;, &lsquo;Paani ki Tanki bhar gai&rsquo;, are heard daily, but what lies underneath is their unspoken, unexpressed love. The series is a perfect family entertainer and will premiere on ZEE5 on 1st August 2025.&nbsp;</p><p>Set amidst the charming chaos of old Ghaziabad, Bakaiti centers on the quirky yet close-knit Kataria Parivaar. Naina (Tanya Sharma), 21, is ambitious and grounded, suddenly forced to share her world with her younger brother Bharat (Aditya Shukla)&mdash;a cricket-crazy, boundary-blind teen who thrives on mischief. Their daily squabbles unfold under the watchful eyes of their parents, Sanjay (Rajesh Tailang) and Sushma (Sheeba Chaddha), who juggle unspoken grief, mounting pressure, financial instability, and the daily grind of making ends meet.</p><p>As the Kataria family grapples with rising expenses and difficult decisions, tensions flare across generations. As Naina seeks space and Bharat tests limits, their parents navigate the ups and downs with humour and heart. But the conflict doesn&rsquo;t stop at the kids&mdash;there&rsquo;s a deeper divide between Sanjay, the emotionally-driven elder brother, and Ajay being the practical one. Their constant push and pull, layered with everyday chaos and clashing perspectives, form the heart of the Kataria household. Yet through it all, love lingers&mdash;unspoken but ever-present. Bakaiti is a celebration of this imperfect, unpredictable, and unmistakably real thing we call family.</p><p>Trailer Link: <a href="https://youtu.be/4pb1aAjxNWU">https://youtu.be/4pb1aAjxNWU</a></p><p>Kaveri Das, Business Head, ZEE5 Hindi said, &ldquo;At ZEE5, we&rsquo;ve always believed that the most powerful stories are found in your everyday life. Bakaiti is a heartwarming reflection of the quintessential Indian middle-class family, its chaos, conflicts, and unconditional love. We&rsquo;re thrilled to collaborate with Pocket Aces and bring this tender, sharply observed dramedy to our audiences. Adding to our growing repertoire of relatable, slice-of-life narratives, Bakaiti will certainly strike a nostalgic, emotional chord with our viewers everywhere&rdquo;</p><p>Producer Aditi Shrivastava from Dice Media commented, &ldquo;Like all our core Dice Media shows, Bakaiti is about the intricacies of daily life. It reflects the bittersweet relationship Gen Z has with their parents - where kids are friends with their parents but still a little afraid, where parents are strict with their kids but also vulnerable. We are so excited to bring you the chaotic yet lovable Kataria parivar, with veteran actors like Sheeba ji and Rajesh ji pairing up with our very own upcoming faces, Tanya Sharma and Aditya Shukla. Zee5 is the perfect platform for this show, and we&rsquo;ve had a wonderful time working with Mrunalini and her team on it."</p><p>Speaking about the show, the director Ameet Guptha shared, "Bakaiti was born out of the kind of conversations we&rsquo;ve all had around dining tables and on terrace steps&mdash;about space, sacrifice, and the quiet resilience that defines every Indian household. The aim was never to go big, but to go deep&mdash;to capture the small, seemingly insignificant moments that truly shape who we are as families. We wanted the storytelling to feel lived-in and honest, with natural camera work, real-time conversations, and emotions that unfold without fanfare. Having Sheeba ji and Rajesh ji back together felt like magic&mdash;they brought a quiet depth and humour that beautifully elevated the soul of the Kataria family. I&rsquo;m truly excited for the premiere on ZEE5 and can&rsquo;t wait for the show to reach homes across the country."</p><p>Sharing her experience Sheeba Chaddha said, &ldquo;Being part of Bakaiti felt like stepping into a world that&rsquo;s incredibly familiar yet rarely shown with such honesty. The Kataria family reflects the unsaid love, everyday struggles, and quiet strength that define so many Indian homes. Playing Sushma reminded me how laughter and love can thrive even in the chaos. I&rsquo;m thrilled to bring this relatable story to life with such a heartfelt team.&rdquo;</p><p>Rajesh Tailang also shared, &ldquo;Bakaiti is a story that feels lived-in, like a memory from your own past. Sanjay reminded me of so many fathers&mdash;silent providers, emotional anchors, and sometimes accidental comedians. There&rsquo;s beauty in the everyday, and this series captures it with so much heart. I feel grateful to reunite with Sheeba ji and work with a team that values nuance, humour, and the tender messiness of family life.&rdquo;</p><p>&lsquo;Bakaiti&rsquo; will premiere on ZEE5 on 1st August 2025, promising a heartfelt journey through the everyday chaos, charm, and comedy of family life.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span lang="EN-GB">In a recent emotional breakthrough on the government&rsquo;s free OTT platform Waves (Prasar Bharati), the much-awaited web series &ldquo;Frozen Feelings&rdquo; has captured the audience&rsquo;s hearts with its soul-stirring narrative and powerful performances. Headlined by Actor and influencer Rohan Rajput, the series is directed by the talented Parvezz Khan and beautifully explores the poignant journey of relationships, responsibilities, and emotional disconnect in modern families.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">At its core, Frozen Feelings narrates the touching story of Dr. Prerna, a dedicated cardiologist, and her unwavering bond with her mother. Rohan Rajput delivers a compelling performance as&nbsp; parallel lead in the series Dr Rishabh ,whose character adds emotional gravity and complexity to the plot.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">In an exclusive conversation, Rohan Rajput opened up about why this project held such personal significance for him. With visible emotion, he shared:</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always been deeply attached to my parents. This story mirrors a reality many of us live but rarely acknowledge &mdash; the sacrifices parents make for their children, and how those same children, in the rush of building their careers, often lose sight of those who built their world.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">He added that Frozen Feelings is not just a story, but a reflection of countless unsung relationships between mothers and children &mdash; the love, the struggles, and sometimes, the silent distance that creeps in with time.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">Rohan also extended heartfelt appreciation to his co-actors Anju Sharma, Yashika, Aditi Ghangas, and Pooja Verma, along with the creative backbone of the series &mdash; music director Vishal Garg, composer Umakant Mudgal, and editor &amp; VFX artist Sai Laxman. He also expressed gratitude towards Mr. Sanjeev Garg (Founder, SFR Footwear), and Anil &amp; Mayank Bansal (Founders, Delvin), for their unwavering support.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">The webseries comes shortly after Rohan completes 100 k milestone&nbsp; on his Instagram and won the Digital Creator of the year Award 2025&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">Rohan passionately urged the audience:</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">&nbsp;&ldquo;In a country of 135 crore people, even if 5% viewers are moved enough by this series to care a little more for their parents &mdash; or parents for their children &mdash; we will feel that we&rsquo;ve succeeded in serving the nation in our own way through storytelling.&rdquo;</span><span lang="EN-GB">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Frozen Feelings is more than just a web series &mdash; it is an emotional awakening. A must-watch for every generation.</span></p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], July 23:</strong> India&rsquo;s spiritual heritage is adorned with the presence of great saints and sages whose lives continue to inspire and transform generations. Among them stands the mysterious and immortal figure of Mahavatar Babaji, the eternal yogi of the Himalayas, whose silent guidance shapes the spiritual evolution of humanity.</p><p>Described in Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda, Babaji is known as a deathless avatar&mdash;a divine being who has retained his physical form for centuries in the remote regions of the Himalayas. Rarely seen, yet deeply revered, Mahavatar Babaji represents the pinnacle of yogic realization and cosmic love.</p><p><strong>Reviver of Kriya Yoga</strong></p><p>Mahavatar Babaji is most widely known for reviving the sacred Kriya Yoga technique&mdash;an advanced, scientific method of meditation that accelerates spiritual growth. In 1861, in the quiet heights of Dunagiri Mountains near Ranikhet in Uttarakhand, Babaji initiated his chosen disciple, Lahiri Mahasaya, into this long-lost technique.</p><p><strong>Babaji proclaimed:</strong></p><p>&ldquo;The Kriya Yoga that I am giving to the world through you is a revival of the same science that Krishna gave millennia ago to Arjuna; and that was later known to Patanjali and Christ, and to St. John, St. Paul, and other disciples.&rdquo;</p><p>Through Lahiri Mahasaya, Kriya Yoga began its re-emergence into the world&mdash;offering a practical and universal path to self-realization.</p><p><strong>A Blessing in His Name</strong></p><p>Lahiri Mahasaya, one of the foremost spiritual figures of the 19th century and a true householder yogi, often spoke of the spiritual power associated with Babaji&rsquo;s divine presence. He said:</p><p>&ldquo;Whenever anyone utters with reverence the name of Babaji, that devotee attracts an instant spiritual blessing.&rdquo;</p><p>This quote affirms what millions of spiritual seekers have felt: that Babaji is not distant, but intimately near, responding to the sincerity and devotion of every heart that calls upon him.</p><p><strong>Timeless Teachings of Love and Balance</strong></p><p><strong>Beyond techniques, Babaji&rsquo;s words offer timeless guidance for living a balanced and meaningful life. He taught:</strong></p><p>&ldquo;Even in the world, the yogi who faithfully discharges his responsibilities, without personal motive or attachment, treads the sure path of enlightenment.&rdquo;</p><p>This wisdom speaks to householders and renunciants alike, affirming that spiritual liberation is not reserved for hermits, but accessible to all who live with awareness, devotion, and selflessness.</p><p><strong>His insight into cosmic harmony is equally profound:</strong></p><p>&ldquo;Love is the undisturbed balance that binds this universe together.&rdquo;</p><p>Love, to Babaji, is not an emotion&mdash;but the unifying force of creation, the divine essence present in every soul, every atom.</p><p><strong>A Living Symbol of Divine Possibility</strong></p><p><strong>In one of the most profound insights about his eternal mission, Babaji explained:</strong></p><p>&ldquo;An avatar lives in the omnipresent Spirit; for him there is no distance inverse to the square. Only one reason, therefore, can motivate Babaji in maintaining his physical form from century to century: the desire to furnish humanity with a concrete example of its own possibilities.&rdquo;</p><p>Babaji retains his physical form not for his own sake, but to demonstrate to humanity what is truly possible&mdash;that eternal life, divine love, and complete freedom are within reach.</p><p><strong>The Call to the West</strong></p><p><strong>In 1920, before Paramahansa Yogananda set sail for America to bring yoga and meditation to the West, Babaji appeared to him in Calcutta, assuring him of divine protection:</strong></p><p>&ldquo;Follow the behest of your guru and go to America. Fear not; you shall be protected. You are the one I have chosen to spread the message of Kriya Yoga in the West.&rdquo;</p><p>Yogananda&rsquo;s mission changed the spiritual landscape of the modern world, making the teachings of Babaji and Kriya Yoga accessible to seekers across continents.</p><p><strong>A Guiding Light in the Silence</strong></p><p>Though Mahavatar Babaji rarely reveals himself, his presence is always near&mdash;in the silence of deep meditation, in the call of a sincere heart, and in the timeless rhythm of the breath. He continues to guide all those who strive toward truth, reminding us that the divine potential we seek is already within us.</p><p>Babaji&rsquo;s message remains simple yet profound: &ldquo;Live with love. Fulfill your duties without attachment. Seek the divine within.&rdquo;</p><p>For more information about Kriya Yoga, please visit &ndash; <a href="https://yssofindia.org/">www.yssofindia.org</a></p><p><strong>Disclaimer</strong>: <em>The content provided in this section is part of a third-party press release service and does not reflect our editorial views or opinions.

<p><b>New Delhi [India], July 23:</b> Mr Sanjeev Kwatra, a renowned industry expert and motivational speaker, urges India&rsquo;s youth to balance ambition with peace, adopt mindful practices, and reflect deeply before imitating Western ideals.</p><p>In an era dominated by competition, stress, and the constant race for more, renowned industry expert and motivational speaker, Mr. Sanjeev Kwatra offers a timely call for introspection. Through a deeply reflective message, he emphasises that the challenges facing Indian society today, especially among the youth, stem not from the erosion of values but from their transformation, misuse, and misunderstanding. &ldquo;The term &lsquo;values&rsquo; itself becomes questionable when we say they are declining. If they are truly values, they don&rsquo;t decline &mdash; they evolve,&rdquo; he explains.</p><p><b>A Shift in Perspective, Not a Decline in Values</b></p><p>Western societies are often viewed as examples of cultural decline. However, he challenges this notion by highlighting the calmness, order, and self-care that many Western countries exhibit. People there value solitude, connect with nature, take regular vacations, and nurture a reading culture things that support mental and emotional well-being.</p><p>Meanwhile, India is witnessing a growing disconnect from its own value systems. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve become trapped in constant utility,&rdquo; he observes. From chasing salaries to increasing productivity, the rhythm of Indian urban life leaves little room for rest, reflection, or personal growth. The focus has shifted from being to doing and often, doing too much.</p><p><b>Greed, Growth &amp; the Misplaced Pursuit of Wealth</b></p><p>Mr. Sanjeev Kwatra addresses a core concern: the rising greed masked as ambition. He likens the uncontrolled desire for money to overeating, just as the body can only consume a limited amount of food, the pursuit of wealth should also have natural limits. But in today&rsquo;s world, wealth has become a number game with no finish line.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not that earning money is wrong. It only becomes harmful when it brings stress and robs us of peace,&rdquo; he explains. He advocates earning through balance, making enough to feel secure, but not at the cost of well-being or personal relationships.</p><p><b>Youth and the Art of Balance</b></p><p>Speaking directly to students and young professionals, Mr. Sanjeev Kwatra emphasises that youth is the time to build not just careers but character. He warns against equating money with success. &ldquo;Money should be seen as a tool, not a target,&rdquo; he says. At this formative stage, chasing financial goals too early can dilute intellectual clarity and emotional strength.</p><p>He encourages young minds to seek meaning rather than merely outcomes. Books, physical activity, and hobbies should take priority over scrolling on mobile phones. Laptops, he adds, are better tools for learning, while phones often breed distraction. The focus should be on mindful use of resources, not mindless consumption.</p><p><b>Time Is Life: Learn to Use It Mindfully</b></p><p>A large part of imbalance, he believes, comes from poor time management. &ldquo;Time is life itself. Wasting time is wasting life,&rdquo; he remarks. He criticises the passive overconsumption of entertainment, especially television and social media, which often serve as escapes but end up stealing hours.</p><p>As a remedy, he recommends age-old Indian practices like Tratak&mdash;a yogic eye exercise that improves focus and cleanses visual toxins. Simple, practical disciplines like this, when practised daily, help restore inner calm and increase clarity. True time management, he adds, isn&rsquo;t just about scheduling. It&rsquo;s about discerning how much time to give to each activity and ensuring it&rsquo;s adding value, not just passing time.</p><p><b>Stress and Body Awareness: The Need to Let Go</b></p><p>Mr Sanjeev Kwatra also addresses the silent epidemic of youth stress, often intensified by parental pressure and societal expectations. Goals are important, he agrees, but obsessively clinging to them is counterproductive. He offers a helpful analogy: &ldquo;If you have to travel 500 kilometres, don&rsquo;t fixate on the entire distance. Focus on the next 100 or 150. Break it down.&rdquo; This step-by-step mindset reduces anxiety and helps build momentum.</p><p>To support stress relief, he recommends Jalandhara Bandha, a yogic practice where the body is fully relaxed and thoughts are released. It promotes lightness, reduces tension, and supports mental clarity. These practices, when incorporated regularly, can transform the youth experience from one of pressure to one of purpose.</p><p><b>India at a Cultural Crossroads</b></p><p>According to him, the core issue facing modern India isn&rsquo;t that we&rsquo;ve followed the West, it&rsquo;s that we&rsquo;ve done so without discernment. &ldquo;If we had adopted their culture with understanding, this wouldn&rsquo;t be a problem. The lack of intellectual reflection is the real issue,&rdquo; he explains.</p><p>Today, he believes India stands at a pivotal moment: either continue down a path of blind imitation and burnout, or thoughtfully integrate progress with traditional wisdom. The choice, he says, must be conscious.</p><p><b>A Call to Reflect and Reclaim</b></p><p>Mr. Sanjeev Kwatra&rsquo;s message is a profound yet practical appeal, not to reject growth, technology, or global influence, but to engage with them consciously and selectively. India&rsquo;s youth, he says, must learn to balance ambition with inner peace, movement with stillness, and consumption with contentment.</p><p>&ldquo;Small shifts in daily thought and practice can lead to deeply fulfilling lives. We don&rsquo;t need to slow down&mdash;we need to wake up,&rdquo; he concludes.</p><p><b>About Sanjeev Kwatra</b></p><p>Sanjeev Kwatra is a visionary leader and a beacon of integrity, compassion, and purpose. Despite managing multiple business ventures, he remains deeply committed to ensuring his actions bring only positivity to those around him. His guiding principle is to spread happiness and love, embodying the timeless philosophy: &ldquo;&#2360;&#2352;&#2381;&#2357;&#2375; &#2349;&#2357;&#2344;&#2381;&#2340;&#2369; &#2360;&#2369;&#2326;&#2367;&#2344;&#2307; &#2360;&#2352;&#2381;&#2357;&#2375; &#2360;&#2344;&#2381;&#2340;&#2369; &#2344;&#2367;&#2352;&#2366;&#2350;&#2351;&#2366;&#2307;&#2404;&#2360;&#2352;&#2381;&#2357;&#2375; &#2349;&#2342;&#2381;&#2352;&#2366;&#2339;&#2367; &#2346;&#2358;&#2381;&#2351;&#2344;&#2381;&#2340;&#2369; &#2350;&#2366; &#2325;&#2358;&#2381;&#2330;&#2367;&#2342;&#2381;&#2342;&#2369;&#2307;&#2326;&#2349;&#2366;&#2327;&#2381;&#2349;&#2357;&#2375;&#2340;&#2404;&rdquo;</p><p>Born in the serene city of Rishikesh, his deep-rooted connection with nature and spirituality shapes his optimistic and service-driven approach to life.

<p><b>New Delhi [India], July 22: </b><b><i>In the wake of the passing of veteran actor and cultural icon Debu Mukerji, the torch has now passed to the youngest of the Mukerji brothers, Shubir Mukerji, who has been appointed Chairman of Filmalaya Studios Pvt. Ltd. and President of North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja, supported by Samrat Mukerji, Munjoy Mukerji and Sujoy Mukerji.</i></b></p><p>Debu Mukerji, a celebrated actor of Indian cinema, was not only the face of the iconic North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja, but also a deeply respected figure whose presence shaped generations of artistic and spiritual traditions. His demise marks the end of an era. The legacy of Filmalaya Studios, on the other hand, was steered by the late Ronu Mukerji, former Chairman, and another pillar of the Mukerji family. Now, Shubir Mukerji takes the reins, a man deeply rooted in the family&rsquo;s rich cinematic and cultural legacy, with a heart full of reverence for the past and eyes set firmly on the future.</p><p>Stepping into these dual roles, Shubir Mukerji, <b>the filmmaker of blockbuster films like Teesri Aankh, Rock Dancer, Gumnaam: The Mystery,</b> is committed to reviving and expanding the legacy of Filmalaya Studios, the iconic creative space founded by the Doyen of Indian Cinema, Sashadhar Mukerji. Home to some of Indian cinema&rsquo;s most timeless films, Filmalaya is not just a studio; it&rsquo;s a symbol of storytelling, heritage, and innovation <i>&ldquo;Filmalaya is in my blood. It&rsquo;s more than just a studio , it&rsquo;s a legacy that shaped Indian cinema. My dream is to bring back its golden era, and take it further , as a hub for innovation, mentorship, and excellence. I want Filmalaya to be buzzing again, with lights, stories, and the magic that defines great cinema,&rdquo;</i> <b>shares Shubir Mukerji.</b></p><p>He envisions Filmalaya Studios as a premier destination for filmmakers, creators, and new-age storytellers, blending nostalgia with cutting-edge creativity. From reviving classic storytelling spaces to developing infrastructure for future-ready productions, his mission is to reignite Filmalaya&rsquo;s role as a beacon of Indian cinematic brilliance.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><b>As President of North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja, a pujo that was started by Sashadhar Mukherjee &amp; Sati Rani Devi, parents of Shubir Mukerji and Mukerji siblings</b>, Shubir is equally dedicated to nurturing the spiritual and inclusive values that have made it one of Mumbai&rsquo;s most beloved and respected Pujas <i>&ldquo;This Puja is a sacred emotion. It has always stood for unity, devotion, and celebration of culture. I am committed to preserving that soul while expanding its reach and resonance with newer generations. Rani, Kajol, Samrat, all are my children standing in support,&rdquo;</i> <b>he adds</b></p><p>With emotional ties to both Filmalaya and the Puja, Shubir Mukerji steps into leadership with deep humility, strong cultural grounding, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. As Mumbai looks ahead to a new chapter in its cultural and cinematic journey, all eyes are now on Shubir Mukerji, the torchbearer of a legacy and a visionary for the future.</p><p>Samrat mukherjee ably will be supporting the journey.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], July 22:&nbsp;</strong>Journalists and media professionals consume more coffee than any other profession, drinking an average of 3.62 cups per day, according to a comprehensive workplace survey released this week.</p><p>The study, conducted by press release distribution service&nbsp;<a href="https://pressat.co.uk/">Pressat</a>, surveyed 20,000 workers across multiple industries between January and March 2025. Healthcare workers ranked second with 3.60 cups daily, followed by police officers at 2.52 cups and drivers at 2.50 cups per day.</p><p>Company executives rounded out the top five coffee-consuming professions with an average of 2.40 cups daily. IT support staff also showed high consumption rates at 2.39 cups per day.</p><p>The findings mark the second consecutive year that journalists have topped the coffee consumption rankings. Healthcare workers moved up from fifth place in the previous year&rsquo;s survey to claim the second position.</p><p>&ldquo;The results were not surprising, especially considering the coronavirus outbreak and NHS budget cuts,&rdquo; said Max Forrest at Pressat. &ldquo;We fully expected those working on the frontline&mdash;such as doctors, nurses, and healthcare staff&mdash;to top the list, but journalists are still the kings and queens of coffee drinkers.&rdquo;</p><p>At the opposite end of the spectrum, electricians, marketers, and advertising professionals reported the lowest consumption rates, averaging around 1.3 cups daily. Plumbers and telesales workers also showed modest intake levels at approximately 1.28 and 1.23 cups respectively.</p><p>The survey revealed that 20.32% of respondents across all professions experience significant effects when they skip their regular coffee intake, indicating widespread caffeine dependency in the workplace.</p><p>While journalists drink the most coffee by volume, marketing professionals spend the most money on their daily habit, averaging &euro;13.27 weekly. Advertising professionals follow closely at &euro;12.98, with electricians spending &euro;12.96 per week.</p><p>The study also examined dietary preferences, finding that police officers lead in choosing plant-based milk alternatives at 21.99%, followed by company executives at 21.98% and plumbers at 20.93%. Teachers and retail staff also showed strong preferences for non-dairy options at approximately 20.25% and 20.24% respectively.</p><p>This trend suggests plant-based milk alternatives are expanding beyond traditionally health-conscious industries to encompass a broader range of professions, potentially reflecting growing environmental and health awareness.</p><p>The U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers 400 milligrams of caffeine per day&mdash;equivalent to four or five cups of coffee&mdash;to be generally safe for most adults. The European Food Safety Authority has reached similar conclusions, though with lower recommendations for pregnant women.</p><p>The survey included full-time employees, freelancers, business owners, and self-employed individuals aged 18 and over from various industries across the workforce.</p><p><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a>.

<p><strong>Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], July 21:</strong>&nbsp;Marking a major milestone in Gujarati cinema, Bollywood actor Deepak Tijori is making his grand return to Gujarati films after nearly two decades, starring in the upcoming high-energy adventure &lsquo;Get Set Go&rsquo;. His last appearance in a Gujarati film was in &lsquo;Hu Tu ane Ramtudi&rsquo;, and now, he is all set to reconnect with the audience in a never-before-seen avatar &ndash; with a storyline that revolves around cycling, action, and a unique moral mission.</p><p>Known for his iconic roles in Bollywood hits like Aashiqui, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, and Ghulam, Deepak Tijori carved a niche as the quintessential urban rebel of the 90s. With a successful directorial career as well (Oops, Tom Dick &amp; Harry, Fareb), Tijori brings both experience and charisma to the screen. His presence in Get Set Go is expected to elevate the excitement among both Gujarati audiences and long-time Bollywood fans.</p><p>Valmiki Pictures, the makers behind Teekhi Meethi Life, Poori Paani, and Bhagwan Bachave, has collaborated with Jaliyan Group to launch this unique film based on cycle racing. The grand mahurat (auspicious launch) was recently held in Ahmedabad, becoming one of the most spectacular launch events in the history of Gujarati cinema, complete with traditional puja rituals and live cycle stunt performances that wowed the audience.</p><p>The film features a stellar cast, including Bhaumik Sampat, Jhinal Belani, Raunaq Kamdar, Samvedna Suvalka, Om Bhatt, Sharad Sharma, Dharmendra Gohil, Bhavya Gandhi, Muni Jha, Bhavini Jani, Morli Patel, and Premal Yagnik. The presence of these seasoned and fresh talents promises a compelling ensemble performance.</p><p>Get Set Go follows a group of unconventional modern-day Robin Hoods who use bicycles to pull off strategic heists to support the underprivileged. The story blends thrill, emotion, and purpose, giving the film an edge in both entertainment and messaging.</p><p>With Deepak Tijori at the helm, Get Set Go is not just a cinematic venture &ndash; it&rsquo;s a celebration of daring dreams, human resilience, and justice on wheels.</p><p>If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email&nbsp;protected]</a> to notify us.
