FOGSI’s Manyata initiative ensures safe deliveries for 3138 women in Nagpur

Around 107 healthcare workers from 34 hospitals are undergoing training to deliver safe and respectful care to the expecting mothers

Nagpur: The Manyata and LaQshya – Manyata certification in Maharashtra by FOGSI is being given to 14 maternity facilities in Nagpur amid the COVID19 pandemic, which is impacting pregnant women severely. These facilities are among the 34 that have been trained and are undergoing training and assessment the city. This has ensured 3138 safe deliveries across the city. Some of the hospitals in Nagpur that have been certified by Manyata are Matru Sewa Sangh, Mahal Maternity Home, Harsha hospital in Dharampeth, Shrikhande Hospital in Dhantoli, Deshmukh Hospital in Surendra Nagar among others. In Maharashtra, the Public Health Department Government of Maharashtra (GoM) and FOGSI (Federation of Obstetric and Gynecological Societies of India) joined hands in 2019 to launch the LaQshya Manyata initiative. It was launched to enable and further build the capacity of private maternity-care providers in delivering quality maternity and new-born care.

LaQshya-Manyata adopts an innovative approach to cater to the diverse needs of private maternity facilities. Using skill drills and digital case-based learning, the program trains private maternity facilities on essential patient care, safety, and facility improvement components. The training modules are based on a set of 26 quality standards. LaQshya-Manyata is a giant leap forward in advancing maternal healthcare outcomes in Maharashtra. By addressing quality care in the private sector, the programme complements other public sector efforts towards building a holistic health system – so that no mother dies during childbirth.

Dr Chaitanya Shembekar, Chairman and MD of Omega Hospital, which is the Nagpur Centre for Skill Enhancement for Manyata, said, “Our hospital has successfully undergone the training and assessment to receive the Manyata certification and are very pleased to be a part of this family. We are also honored to have become the CSE in Nagpur; our hospital will be the center to provide training and conduct sessions with the registered hospitals. We currently have 19 hospitals from Nagpur registered for the training. I sincerely thank FOGSI and the GoM to have launched this initiative to bring about standardization in private maternity hospitals and raise the bar for quality maternal care in the state of Maharashtra.”

Dr Alka Mukherjee, Director, Mukherjee Multispeciality Hospital in Nagpur which has received the Manyata certification, said, “The LaQshya Manyata training, assessment and certification has really changed the way we offer treatment and service in our facility. Undergoing the training and assessment process was very enriching and transformational for our hospital. It is not an easy process to receive the certification, the staff and doctors really need to strive hard to adhere to the quality standards under the curriculum. I am happy to have received the training and certification which has refined the outlook of everyone at the hospital.”

Due to the COVID19 pandemic, the Manyata and LaQshya-Manyata initiative shifted its entire process of training and assessment to a digital model. The program implementation partners have been conducting virtual trainings as well as assessments to drive the initiative. Recently, LaQshya-Manyata has completed the assessments for over 100 facilities and reached a new milestone amidst the pandemic. Additionally, the LaQshya-Manyata initiative has expanded to 26 districts of Maharashtra.

India’s Harnaaz Sandhu Brings Home Miss Universe Crown After 21 Years

New Delhi: India’s Harnaaz Sandhu is the new Miss Universe, 21 years after Lara Dutta won the title in 2000.
Ms Sandhu represented India today at the 70th Miss Universe 2021, held in Eilat, Israel.

The 21-year-old from Punjab claimed the crown edging out Paraguay’s Nadia Ferreira and South Africa’s Lalela Mswane.

Ms Sandhu was presented the crown by Andrea Meza, former Miss Universe 2020 from Mexico.

Before the Chandigarh-based model, only two Indians have won the title of Miss Universe – actors Sushmita Sen in 1994 and Lara Dutta in 2000.

On being asked what advice she would give to young women on how to deal with the pressures they face, a composed Ms Sandhu said, “The biggest pressure the youth of today is facing is to believe in themselves, to know that you are unique and that’s what makes you beautiful. Stop comparing yourselves with others and let’s talk about more important things that’s happening worldwide.”

“This is what you need to understand. Come out, speak for yourselves because you are the leader of your life, you are the voice of your own. I believed in myself and that’s why I am standing here today,” Ms Sandhu said with aplomb.

Ms Sandhu, who started her journey in pageantry at the age of 17, has previously been crowned Miss Diva 2021, Femina Miss India Punjab 2019 and was even placed in the Top 12 at Femina Miss India 2019.

She has also worked in Punjabi films like “Yaara Diyan Poo Baran” and “Bai Ji Kuttange”.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery performed at Wockhardt hospitals, Nagpur Patient discharged within 12 hours of surgery

Wockhardt

Nagpur: Quality of life of a 55 year old man took a turn in Wockhardt Hospitals, Nagpur after he walked into emergency department of Wockhardt hospital with a severe pain in lower back which was also felt in his left leg making him unable to even stand.

After investigations, the patient was diagnosed to have slipped disc. Dr. Rahul Zamad, Consultant- Spine and Neurosurgery, Wockhardt Hospital, Nagpur suggested the patient to undergo minimally invasive tubular spine surgery for removal of disc.

Patient was admitted and surgery was performed the same day with an incision of 2.5 cm only. Patient was absolutely pain free a few hours after the surgery. He was discharged in less than 24 hours of admission and approximately after 12 hours of surgery with a very small scar on his back.

“In general the aim of MIS surgery is to relieve the pressure being applied to the spinal cord and nerves and to stabilize the back bones which can be caused by herniated disc, degenerative disc disease, lumbar spinal stenosis, spinal infections and instability, spinal tumors, bony deformities in back. As compared to open surgery MIS can be faster, safer and has less recovery time”, informed Dr. Rahul Zamad.

Dr. Zamad also informed that potential benefits of this type of highly skilled surgery are:
• Better cosmetic results with smaller incision
• Reduced post operative pain
• Less blood loss
• Reduced muscle damage and faster recovery
• Reduced risk of infection
• Early return to work
Some of these surgeries can even be performed as a day care procedure. MISS uses tubular retractors which are used following a troscar which keeps the muscles out of the way to visualize the areas of interest and perform the procedure. Once the surgery is done the tubular retractors are removed.

There are also certain risk factors involved with MISS like with any other surgery like
Localised infection though less than open procedure
Conversion to open procedure in a very small no of cases.

Patient selection is very important for the procedure as MISS may not be as safe or effective as traditional procedure in some situations and certain surgeries may not be possible to be performed by MISS at all. If asked the doctor will be able to tell regarding the relative risks and benefits of the same.

Did you know? Dev Anand suggested Zeenat Aman to have a hippie look for ‘Dum Maaro Dum’; revealed on the sets of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa

Zee TV recently returned with its most iconic, longest-running singing reality show that has stayed relevant to music lovers across the country – Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2021. The show started off with a bang and the talented contestants of this season have already managed to impress the audience. However, viewers are in for a special treat this Saturday as legendary actress Zeenat Aman will appear as a special guest on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.

While each contestant impressed the veteran actress during the shoot, it was Laj, Ananya, and Yumna’s power-packed performance to Hare Ram Hare Krishna’s title track and Dum Maaro Dum that left her spellbound. In fact, the song also made the evergreen actress so nostalgic that she started sharing a lot of anecdotes about the song. Ananya also asked Zeenat ji about her iconic look for the song ‘Dum Maaro Dum’ and to everyone’s surprise, the actress revealed an untold story about how Dev Anand was the one who decided her look for this song.

Talking about the same Zeenat Aman revealed, “When the song was being shot, Dev Sahab was in double minds about it. He wasn’t sure if we should use it for the movie, but he was convinced about it finally. After the song was locked, my look became a topic of discussion. With the song being so personal to my character, I decided to give it a personal touch with straight, long hair with a middle partition. But Dev Sahab felt that my character should wear shades and have a hippie look since the song is being shot around hippies as well. She should also be carefree and not really bothered with anything and be very bindaas. So, we basically collaborated to finalize this iconic look for the song.”

While Zeenat Aman’s surprising revelations on the sets of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa will leave everyone surprised, the performances by the talented contestants will also blow everyone’s minds during the show.

To witness more such revelations and to enjoy the amazing performances by all the contestants, tune into Sa Re Ga Ma Pa this Saturday and Sunday at 9 pm, only on Zee TV!

The new twist in Azaad’s Meri Doli Mere Aangana has viewers hooked

When the daughter, Janki, becomes the daughter-in-law in her own maike, it’s Badalte Rishton Ki Nayi Shuruwat

Azaad’s 9 pm primetime show, Meri Doli Mere Angana (MDMA) is creating shockwaves for television viewers with its new twist in its lead protagonist’s Janki’s life.

Surendra Pal who plays Gyanendra in the show says, “The new track in MDMA right now in this father believes that when Janki was his daughter, he loves her lot & very protective about her. He believes that girls are the avatar of Goddess Laxmi & the house where girls are born are the very lucky for people living in it. Despite the fact that her status has changed and Janki is now the daughter in law instead of daughter but today also, he doesn’t believe that his emotions for her have changed. He still loves her daughter very much. Some of female viewers who meet me in any function watch MDMA and say that in my role, they find the resemblance of their father as he also sacrificed for us like I do in the show. I appeal to audiences that there will be many twists and turns in the show, so keep watching MDMA on Azaad.”

The title of the show would always puzzle everyone and now, post Janki’s marriage to Bittu, relationships really take a turn which leaves Janki surprised. After it is known that Bittu is actually the biological son of the house and not Janki, those she knew as father, mother and Daadi no longer treated her with the same love and affection after she became their bahu.

Indulata rules out ‘Muh Dikhayi’ rasam of Janki & insists on having ‘Naam Karan’ of her son Bittu and Daadi supports her. There is another instance when Daadi is annoyed with Janki for not being able to maintain her Pallu on her head and tauntingly asks for a nail to fix it permanently on Janki’s head.
Indulata, who was Janki’s mother till now, talks to her like a Saas.

On her role, Aastha Abhay, who plays Janki, says, “In the current track, you can see that now the new heir of the family, Bittu, has come and Janki is no more the daughter of the house. She has been married to the son of the house and now is a daughter-in- law. From her identity to her responsibility, everything has taken a 180-degree shift. She has to fulfill all the responsibility of an ideal daughter in law. The family expects her to behave and conduct herself in a certain way that we can relate to in the small towns and villages in India where the daughter- in- law is accustomed to be. Her relationship with the family members has changed which will show how each family member now treats her. So, keep on watching the show on Tata Sky and DD FreeDish and enjoy the new track.”

Every daughter and daughter-in-law relate to the thought of being able to stand for her Maayka while she resides in her Sasural.

Don’t miss the drama and changing relationships and how Janki navigates them in Meri Doli, Mere Angana, every Monday to Saturday at 9 pm, only on Azaad.

Azaad is available on Tata Sky 183, DD FreeDish Channel no 36, Siti Cable 134 and is free on MX Player.

Imports made up 86% of India’s gold supply between 2016-2020, continue to grow despite high import duty, highlights World Gold Council Report

The World Gold Council today launched a report titled ‘Bullion Trade in India’, as part of a series of in-depth analysis on the Indian gold market.

The report highlights how, with very little mining and modest levels of recycling, India is heavily reliant on bullion imports to meet its domestic demand. Indian official imports have continued to grow despite high import duty, with official imports averaging 760t since the first duty hike in 2012. The higher import duty has led to increase in unofficial imports with the east/north-east and south states acting as main channels for gold smuggling. Gold smuggling also have shifted away from sea in favour of air and land routes. The last decade witnessed an increase in doré shipments due to lower duty applicable on it.

Somasundaram PR, Regional CEO, India, World Gold Council, commented; “As the second largest global market, Indian gold demand is heavily dependent on bullion and dore’ imports. Bullion industry has developed over the last 3 decades in India with significant addition to organised refining capacity and an LBMA accredited refinery. Challenges remain, however, on dore’ sourcing and organised trading which act as barriers to a more active role for banks and bullion trade in global trading and price setting. High taxes on bullion continue to be a strong incentive for the grey markets that constantly undermine all reforms to make gold liquid and mainstream. There are significant opportunities to emerge as a global bullion trading hub through the international gold spot exchange (IIBX) with a thriving domestic bullion eco-system underpinned by globally recognised standards and infrastructure.

Key highlights of the report:

Indian official imports

• Over the five-year period 2016-2020, imports made up 86% of India’s gold supply, while recycling accounted for 13% and mining accounted for just 1%.
• Since the first duty hike in 2012, India has imported some 6,581t of gold, averaging 730t per annum.
• Higher gold imports can have a negative impact on the country’s balance of trade and have, at times, led the government to implement measures to try to curb gold imports
Gold trading volumes
• In 2020, the average daily trading volumes on futures and spot exchanges was US$69.3bn, with gold ETFs generating average trading volumes of US$3.3bn.
• India’s contribution to these was just US$1.2bn and US$3.4mn respectively.

Gold Doré imports

One important change that has taken place in India’s gold market is the growth in gold doré imports. The increase in doré imports reflects the government’s accommodative stance towards gold refining.
• In the last five years, gold doré imports made up 30% of total official gold imports.
• The duty benefits also led to a massive expansion of refining capacity in India, with the number of refineries growing from three in 2012 to 32 in 2020.
• Currently, some 25-26 refineries are active, with a combined refining capacity of 1,200- 1,400t.
• Of these, 23 refineries imported doré in 2020 and the top five refineries accounted for more than 70% of India’s doré imports.
• With lower duty on gold doré, the share of gold imports has increased from 11% in 2014 to 29% in 2020.

Official import trends

• In 2020, India imported 377t of gold bars and doré from over 30 countries – 55% of the imports came from just two countries – Switzerland (44%) and the UAE (11%)
• As doré imports have grown, refineries have become far more prominent importers, achieving a 29% share of India’s official imports in 2020.
• With bullion banks like Nova Scotia exiting their precious metals business and many large bullion dealers (previously clients of the banks) setting up their own refineries, banks’ share of official imports shrunk from 40% in 2017 to 19% in 2020 as the business shifted to refineries.
• About two-thirds of imported gold is in the form of 995 cast kilobars or 100g bars. 999 purity bars account for much of the remaining one-third of imports.
• Over the last few years, 100g bars have gained in popularity, with increased demand from small dealers or manufacturers.

Key Import locations

• Gold officially shipped into India comes via air into 11 cities. In addition to these cities, gold is also imported in Sri City FTWZ, located in the town of Satyavedu in the State of Andhra Pradesh.
• In 2020, 84% of imports came through airports located in North and South India, with the remaining 16% coming through airports in West and East India.

Bullion banking in India

Bullion banking is a catalyst for change in India’s gold market landscape. India’s gold market faces multiple challenges, such as a lack of quality assurance, the unorganised state of the market and a lack of trust in international markets. Bullion banking is one of the key pillars to address these challenges and help establish India’s position among leading global and regional markets.
• Greater access to the bullion market for banks and other financial institutions: Banks could have greater access to the bullion market, including gold spot and derivatives trading. Banks could be encouraged to pursue product innovation and attract retail participation in the bullion market. With bullion banking, insurance companies could offer gold and gold futures products to customers
• Boosting essential policy reforms: Bullion banks can make a meaningful contribution to other gold-related reforms:

They can boost participation in the gold spot exchange by acting as clearing and trading members, and liquidity providers

They can boost participation in the gold monetisation scheme through increased mobilisation of gold from the public

They can help establish the assaying infrastructure that is a prerequisite for an organised gold market

• Increased liquidity for bullion trade: The set-up of bullion banking could increase liquidity for bullion trade through:

 Inter-bank lending and borrowing in both the local and the global bullion markets

Central bank lending bullion to commercial banks and other entities.

Life of a secret service cop with 100% LAD blockage gets saved in Wockhardt Hospital

Wockhardt

Nagpur: It was after a normal day filled with thrilling experiences for a 55 year old secret service cop from Yavatmal that he started feeling a pain in chest. The family consulted a local physician who gave them basic medications and asked them to shift him to a higher cardiac centre.

After the same episode next morning, the family decided to hospitalize him. “We took my father to a local hospital from where he was told to be shifted to Nagpur for better treatment at the earliest”, informed the cop’s daughter. “I did my research for the best hospital in Nagpur and arrived at the conclusion that Wockhardt Hospital is the place to be”, she added.

Dr. Achyut Khandekar, Consultant- Interventional Cardiology, handled this very complex case and saved the life of this patient. “The patient’s left anterior descending artery (LAD) was 100% blocked and his two other arteries also had significant blockage. He was in cardiogenic shock and also had Complete Heart Blockage so a Temporary Pacemaker was inserted and later IABP (intra-aortic balloon pump) was also inserted”, informed Dr. Khandekar. “It was a very difficult case and we also had to delay the Angioplasty of this patient as when he was brought to us his Blood Pressure was very low and createnine was also higher than the normal levels”, he added.

Dr. Khandekar informed that after stabilizing the patient he conducted a viability scan, it was discovered that area being supplied by his culprit artery was dead and thus, Angioplasty was performed on other two arteries, ensuring a proper blood flow. It was very important to stabilize the patient before performing any procedure as otherwise; he could have suffered from kidney failure.

“We do not treat the investigations, we treat the patient”, said Dr. Achyut while also informing that for such cases, a separate personalized care plan has to be generated to save a patient’s life. In this case, the clinical team of Wockhardt came with a personalized plan of treatment for this patient and his life was saved.

“We get many high-end cases in the hospital and it is the expertise of our consultants and clinical team that we are able to treat such cases. Our cops are working day and night for our service and we are highly obliged to them for their valuable contribution in the society”, said Mr. Abhinanadan Dastenavar, Centre Head, Wockhardt Hospitals, Nagpur.

Niva Bupa Health Insurance Strengthens its presence in Nagpur as Part of Regional Expansion

Nagpur: Niva Bupa Health Insurance Pvt. Ltd. (formerly known as Max Bupa Health Insurance Pvt. Ltd.) – one of India’s leading standalone health insurance players, today announced its entry in Nagpur, as part of its next phase of growth. Niva Bupa is starting its operations in Nagpur and aims to provide health coverage to over 26,000 people in the next five years. Niva Bupa is on a strong growth journey with presence in 350 cities and recently marked the opening of 100 offices across the country. In the current financial year, the company has opened 1 office in every 3.5 days and aims to cover 600 cities by FY 24.

Covid-19 pandemic has led to increase in awareness about the importance of health insurance. Consumers today are much more evolved and have realized that with the right sum insured coverage, they can tide through any medical crisis. A survey conducted amongst the insurance agents across Maharashtra revealed that there is a substantial increase in the demand of health insurance post Covid-19. However, the study also highlights that lack of awareness and clarity on health insurance is limiting the purchase of health insurance products in the region. This expansion is in line with Niva Bupa’s vision of making quality healthcare services accessible to all and enable people to lead a fulfilling life. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the company paid Covid related claims worth INR 409 crores to 30,000 customers overall, including INR 80 crores in Maharashtra alone, helping people during the toughest hours.

With this expansion, Niva Bupa targets to clock around INR 20 Cr gross written premium and 8 times increase in policy purchase in the next five years in Nagpur. The company will also bring business opportunities for people in the city as it plans to onboard around 3,000 agents by FY 25-26. The company will provide adequate training programs and encourage women and housewives living in the city to become insurance agents, thereby helping them to become financially independent. In Nagpur, Niva Bupa customers can avail cashless hospitalization through 111 network hospitals and 7900+ hospitals across the country. With this launch, the company now has presence in 17 markets in Maharashtra including Mumbai, Pune, Aurangabad, Ahmednagar, Nashik, Sholapur, Boisar, Dadar, Vashi, Jalgaon, Panvel, Kalyan, Dombivali, Vasai and Satara.

Talking about its expansion plans in Nagpur, Mr. Ankur Kharbanda, Director – Retail Sales, Niva Bupa Health Insurance said, “We are excited to strengthen our reach in Nagpur as Maharashtra is an important market for Niva Bupa from health insurance penetration perspective. Covid-19 has led to significant increase in awareness of the importance of health insurance and our intent is to provide comprehensive health insurance plans and quality healthcare access to every citizen of the country. We are also focused on expanding our product portfolio to bring products as per the evolving health needs of today’s customers.”

Niva Bupa aims to democratize health insurance by positioning it as an enabler for living a carefree life. To bring its new philosophy to life, Niva Bupa has recently launched a brand campaign – ‘Zindagi Ko Claim Kar Le’ that aims to change the narrative around health insurance while eliminating the fear element often associated with it. With this new campaign, the company has gone deeper in bringing spotlight on the role of health insurance in the life of consumers, partners, advisors, while redefining and recalibrating its purpose, in line with its growth aspirations.

Niva Bupa is one of the most trusted brands in the country with more than a decade’s experience in offering quality healthcare support to people. The company offers a wide range of affordable, comprehensive, and disease-specific products as per customers’ varying health needs. The robust product portfolio of Niva Bupa includes indemnity products like ReAssure – a 100% cashless plan, Senior First, Personal Accident plan, Health Companion, GoActive, Health Premia, and Health Pulse. Other products include Health Assurance – Niva Bupa’s fixed benefit plan providing Personal accident cover, Hospicash & Critical illness cover, and Health Recharge – Super top-up plan. The company also offers entry-level covers such as Aarogya Sanjeevani and disease-specific products like Corona Kavach, allowing people to choose the suitable product for themselves.

Central Institute for Indian Languages (CIIL) and Koo App Collaborate to Promote Fair Use of Language

National: To clamp down on the misuse and abuse of social media and promote fair use of language, the Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL) in Mysore has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bombinate Technologies Pvt. Ltd., the holding company of India’s multi-lingual micro-blogging platform – Koo. CIIL, which was established by the Government of India to coordinate the development of Indian languages, will work jointly with the Koo App to strengthen its content moderation policies and help users stay safe and secure online. This collaboration will work towards safeguarding users from online abuse, bullying and threats, and build a transparent and conducive ecosystem.

Through the collaboration, CIIL will create a corpus of expressions including words, phrases, abbreviations and acronyms that are considered offensive or sensitive across 22 languages of the VIII scheduled of the Constitution of India. In turn, the Koo App will share relevant data to create the corpus and provide technological support to build interfaces that will host the corpus for public access. This is a long-term collaboration for developing responsible use of Indian languages on social media and it will be valid for two years by providing users with a secure and immersive networking experience across languages.

The path-breaking exercise between CIIL and the Koo App aims to develop dictionaries of words and expressions in Indian languages that are considered offensive, disrespectful or derogatory, enabling efficient content moderation in these languages. This kind of initiative has not been implemented before in the Indian context.

Welcoming this development, Prof. Shailendra Mohan, Director, CIIL observed that enabling Indian language users to communicate on the Koo platform is, in fact, a manifestation of the right to equality and freedom of speech, which are our much-revered constitutional values. The MoU between CIIL and Koo is an effort towards ensuring that the use of social media, particularly the Koo App, comes with verbal/ textual hygiene and it is free of inappropriate language and abuse. Encouraging this initiative of Koo towards creating a pleasant and safe environment for social media posts, Prof. Mohan said that the efforts of the Koo App are worthy of appreciation. Therefore, CIIL will provide language consultancy through corpus and strengthen the hands of the Koo team in realizing the goal of achieving responsible and sanitized social media interactions.

Throwing light on this collaboration, Aprameya Radhakrishna, Co-founder & CEO, Koo App said, “As a unique social media platform that enables Indians to engage and connect across multiple languages, we seek to empower our users by enhancing the ecosystem such that online misuse and abuse is curbed in an effective manner. We want our users to leverage the platform to converse with people across linguistic cultures, meaningfully. We are pleased to partner with the reputed Central Institute of Indian Languages to build this corpus, and to make the interconnected world much more safe, trustworthy and reliable for internet users.”

As an inclusive platform for self-expression in native Indian languages, the Koo App currently offers its innovative features across nine languages, and will soon expand to cover all the 22 official Indian languages. Through this collaboration with CIIL, the Koo App will develop a deep and nuanced understanding of the logic, grammar and context of words that are used in native languages, especially on social media; while parallelly helping identify offensive terms and phrases that can lead to discord and online bullying. This understanding will enhance the content moderation practice at the micro-blogging platform and assist users to curate more engaging content in their respective languages; thus consolidating Koo’s position as India’s leading multi-language social media platform.

Premiering on 8th December, discovery+ today launched the trailer of Say Yes to The Dress India that oozes fashion, drama, entertainment, and emotions whilst celebrating and showcasing the various cultures and traditions of India.

This eight-part series uncovers the fascinating tales of brides from diverse cultures with different tastes who are in search of the most important dress they will ever wear. While some envision their dream attire to be extravagant and bold, others take the traditional route, thereby showcasing every brides’ unique style. Different wedding functions and events will be adding to the diversity of the bridal looks whilst highlighting their cultural influence on the outfits. No matter how varied the brides are, one thing that is common for all of them, is an extensive mix of colours, latest trends, designs and fabrics – all a true reflection of Indian Bridal fashion.

Making the experience further dreamy, discovery+ collaborated with India’s most celebrated fashion designers, including, Neeta Lulla, Abhinav Mishra, Varun Bahl, Natasha Dalal, Sandeep Khosla, Zara Umrigar, Shubika, Angadi Saree, Monica Jade, Seema Gujral, Sanjay Garg, Kar Leo, Ashdeen, Anju Modi, Dilnaz, Heena Kochhar and Rahul Mishra. Not only will they help the brides choose the outfit of their dreams for different occasions but also curate it for them. The excitement doesn’t end there, the series will be hosted by Divyak D’souza who has been in the fashion industry, as a consultant, fashion editor, bridal stylist and has styled Bollywood celebrities like Farhan Akhtar, Chitrangdada Singh, Raveen Tandon and many more. With his background Divyak is a pro at helping brides with every aspect of shopping for a wedding dress, from researching designers to dealing with overbearing entourages and what not.

As a prelude to the show launch, discovery+ launched the wedding song of the year ‘Sajna’ composed by Badshah and Payal Dev coupled with the catchy choreography done by Punit J Pathak.

From an indecisive bride to the one making bold choices, this show embraces diversity and understands a bride-to-be like no one else.”said Megha Tata Managing Director, South Asia, Discovery Communications India.

On making her OTT debut for her Bridal wear fashion line, designer Natasha Dalal said, “Designing has always been a passion, and there couldn’t have been a better opportunity to make my OTT debut. Say Yes to The Dress is a highly appreciated show around the globe and being a part of it is an amazing experience! Creating a dream outfit for a bride is such an honour for me. Every bride is unique and watching her eyes sparkle when she sees her dream outfit unfold in front of her makes up for all the effort that goes into the process of bringing it to life. I’m excited to be part of this show as it manages to give everyone a glimpse of how a bride feels just before saying Yes To The Dress!”

“I have been following this reality show for a while and it’s great that such a format is coming to India. Dressing brides for their special day and curating their dream ensemble has always been the best form of experience. Whilst the journey of curating an outfit for the bride is thrilling, it’s a matter of great responsibility, as we are helping someone create their most special memory. They trust the designer with all their heart to translate their wishes and desires. However, the most challenging part is to convince and break through the stereotypical expectations of bridal trousseau but at the end the result is always so emotionally beautiful. A wonderful team creates magic and ease of a happy shoot and working with discovery+ was a great experience. All in all, it was fun, exciting and engaging to document the bridal designing process”, said designer Neeta Lulla

“I feel that when one is connected with nature he/she is connected to oneself! That’s how I felt being a part of this franchise, it made me feel so connected to myself and my surroundings. One challenge that I faced while helping the brides is the colour palette, brides usually tend to get confused while picking a colour on their big day. Having said that, every bride is different and so is their perspective. However, the overall experience was fantastic and I feel really grateful to be a part of such a hit international franchise and i would love to work with them in future too”, said designer Abhinav Mishra

“I am thrilled to be a part of this legacy show which is finally coming to India. Having been in the fashion industry and bridal styling space for years now, this concept/show is right up my alley. Styling real brides is all about managing expectations and respecting the emotions that go into picking the dress of her dreams. Understanding the bride’s thought process and helping her find her ideal bridal look is going to be challenging yet exciting, and I am only looking forward to this rollercoaster of a journey”, shares Divyak D’souza, show host, Say Yes To The Dress India!

It won’t just be plain-sailing and there may be some tears too, for these women who are searching for the most priceless dress they’ll ever wear. What these brides will agree to and Say Yes To The Dress, all will be unveiled on 8th December only on discovery+.

नागपूर | शारजाहून नागपुरात आले विमान; शंभर प्रवाशांची आरटी-पीसीआर चाचणी

Air India’s New Dress Code for Crew is Revealing…
Air India’s New Dress Code for Crew is Revealing…

नागपूर : स्थळ डॉ. बाबासाहेब आंबेडकर आंतरराष्ट्रीय विमानतळ. रविवारी सकाळी पाऊणेसात वाजता शारजाह-नागपूर आंतरराष्ट्रीय विमान उतरले. ओमिक्रोनचे सावट घोंघावत असल्याने सारेच दहशतीमध्ये होते. सारे वातावरण चिंताग्रस्त होते. तणावाच्या वातावरणात महापालिकेच्या आरोग्य विभागातील अधिकाऱ्यांनी एक-एक करीत शंभर प्रवाशांची आरटी-पीसीआर चाचणी केली. तब्बल दीड ते दोन तास नमुने घेतले. जोपर्यंत अहवाल येत नाही, तोपर्यंत प्रवाशी विमानतळावरच थांबले होते. मनात धास्ती होती. सुदैवाने कोणीही कोरोना पॉझिटिव्ह आढळून आला नाही.

आप्त स्वकीय येणार म्हणून नातेवाइकाला घेण्यासाठी एकीकडे गर्दी केली होती. मात्र, शारजा विमानातून येणाऱ्यांना विमानतळाच्या आतल्या परिसरात थांबवले होते. चाचण्या निगेटिव्ह आल्यामुळे साऱ्यांना सोडण्यात आले. मात्र, प्रवाशांचे राहण्याचे ठिकाण, संपर्क मोबाईल नंबर आदींची माहिती घेण्यात आली. यानंतरच त्यांना घरीच विलगीकरणात राहण्याची अट घालण्यात आली.

कोरोनाचा नवीन व्हेरियंट ओमिक्रॉनमुळे जगभरात चिंता वाढली आहे. दक्षिण आफ्रिकेमध्ये हा व्हेरियंट सापडला असून येथून आलेल्या काही प्रवाशांना कोरोनाची लागण झाली आहे. पण, त्यांना ओमिक्रॉनची लागण झालीय का? हे अद्याप स्पष्ट झाले नाही. पण, कोरोनाला वेळीच अटकाव घालण्यासाठी केंद्राने मार्गदर्शक सूचना जारी केल्या आहेत. पण, काही राज्यांनी त्यांच्या स्वतंत्र गाइडलाईन्स जारी केल्या असून कोणत्या राज्यात काय निर्बंध आहेत? हे आपण पाहुयात. तुम्ही कुठे फिरायला जायचा प्लॅन करत असाल तर या गाइडलाइन्स तुमच्यासाठी फायदेशीर ठरणार आहे.

तीन दिवसांनंतर पुन्हा सर्व प्रवाशांना संपर्क करण्यात येणार आहे. पुढील चाचणीत कोविड तपासणीनंतर नियमाप्रमाणे उपचार सुरू करण्यात येतील. ८ दिवसांनंतर पुन्हा सर्व शंभर प्रवाशांची आरटी-पीसीआर चाचणी केली जाणार आहे. यात कोणताही प्रवासी पॉझिटिव्ह आढळून आल्यास आमदार निवासातील कोविड सेंटरमध्ये राहावे लागणार आहे.

ओमिक्रॉनचा नवीन व्हेरियंट राज्यात आढळला. यामुळे केंद्र सरकारने जारी केलेल्या मार्गदर्शक सूचनांनुसार, महापालिकेच्या वतीने विमानतळावर चाचणीसाठी व्यवस्था केली होती. एअर अरेबियाचे शारजाह ते नागपूर विमान उतरल्यानंतर सर्वांना वेगळ्या कक्षात थांबविले होते. नागपूर ते शारजाह प्रवास करणाऱ्या ९५ प्रवाशांची चाचणी करून विमानात प्रवेश देण्यात आला. आंतरराष्ट्रीय विमानातील येणाऱ्या व जाणाऱ्या प्रवाशांची विमानतळावर आरटी-पीसीआर चाचणी केली जाणार असल्याची माहिती अतिरिक्त आयुक्त राम जोशी यांनी दिली आहे.

ओमिक्रॉनचा संक्रमण पसरू नये यासाठी आरोग्य यंत्रणा सतर्क झाली आहे. शासनाच्या सूचनेनुसार परदेशातून येणाऱ्या प्रवाशांवर विशेष लक्ष ठेवले जात आहे. रविवारी सकाळी शारजाहून विमान आल्यानंतर विमानतळावर आरटी-पीसीआर चाचणी कक्षात पाठविण्यात आले. निगेटिव्ह अहवालानंतर प्रवाशांना गृहविलगीकरणात राहण्याची सूचना केली. महापालिकेच्या पथकाची नजर असणार आहे. हे पथक दुसऱ्या, चौथ्या व सातव्या दिवशी संबंधित प्रवाशाच्या घरी जाऊन माहिती घेणार आहे. प्रवाशांचा अहवाल पॉझिटिव्ह येताच त्यांना वैद्यकीय उपचारासाठी मेडिकल, मेयोत पाठवण्यात येईल.

Sony Entertainment Television presents Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii, a show that mirrors every working woman who is caught between the patriarchal norms and her dreams.

The show premieres on 6th December, and will air every Mon to Fri at 10:00 pm only on Sony Entertainment Television

Women of today are a force to reckon with! Sony Entertainment Television celebrates women from all walks of life with the latest finite series, Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii. Starring Additi Gupta, Rohit Purohit and Vidyut Xavier in the lead roles, the show traces Dr. Deepika’s journey, who continues to defy stereotypes in her personal and professional life to fulfil her dreams. Also, playing pivotal roles in the show will be the ensemble cast – Alma Hussein as Dr Sia, Nishant Singh as Wasim, Raghav Dhir as Piroz, Kaushik Chakravorty as Dr Pranav and Ashwin Mushran as Jamshed. Produced by Invictus T Mediaworks and StudioNEXT, the show premieres on 6th December and will air every Mon-Fri at 10 pm only on Sony Entertainment Television.

A woman’s strength comes from being tested by life’s unpredictability. Witness this strength with the journey of Dr. Deepika, who has always dreamt of becoming a successful surgeon. Her passion and determination are misinterpreted for being too proud. On being career oriented, she is criticized by her close ones for wanting to be more than just a married woman. Adding to her plight, she is judged at her workplace by her male colleagues. With such challenges weighing down on her, she is determined to living life on her terms. Will Deepika be successful in overcoming these challenges and proving her mettle or will she succumb to the societal pressure?

Nilanjana Purkayasstha and Herumb Khot – Producers, Invictus T Mediaworks
Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii is very close to our hearts, more so because this is a story that needs to be told and experienced by all. We have always tried to televise stories that have a meaningful narrative, and this show embodies that thought. Dr. Deepika’s character mirrors the woman of today who has broken stereotypes and fought through the challenges laid down by the society to achieve great milestones. Through her journey, viewers will be made to think why it is always a woman who is asked to compromise or why does she need to constantly ‘earn’ the respect that she deserves. Additi Gupta has done a fabulous job at portraying Dr. Deepika; and nobody else could have done justice to this. We are grateful to be collaborating with Sony Entertainment Television, a channel that has been at the forefront of pathbreaking television dramas and for helping us make our dream come true with this show. We hope that ‘Dhadkan’ starts the right kind of conversations in social circles and that we create an impact with this one-of-a-kind show.

Additi Gupta as Dr Deepika
I have always believed in doing shows that has a powerful message and Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii fits the bill perfectly. This show is a tribute to all the woman warriors, fighters and dreamers out there who didn’t’ give up on their dreams and fought like a boss lady to get what they deserve. It’s an honor for me to be portraying Dr. Deepika as the character sketch brilliantly defines a progressive woman that can truly be an inspiration for many in our society. The best part is that the Deepika’s fight feels like it’s my own story and so will a lot of women, I am sure.

Rohit Purohit- Dr Vikrant Saxena
Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii is not like your regular drama; it’s a show that represents the woman of today who are no more letting others, or the society dictate to them what the rules are. They are the rule makers and breakers themselves. The show is an eye opener to the society on why a woman must always bury her dreams for the sake of family and why can’t men be equal stakeholders in carrying forward the familial responsibilities. Playing the character of Vikrant has been a challenging experience as the character has multiple layers to him and he’s everything that I am not. I am grateful to the makers of the show for giving me an opportunity like this and I hope to do justice to the character

Tune into ‘Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii’ starting 6th December, every Mon-Fri at 10:00 pm only on Sony Entertainment Television!

When The Girl Is Two Steps Ahead of The Boy…

A channel that is known for its thought-provoking narratives that questions people’s mindsets about a variety of subjects relevant to Indian society, Zee TV is back with a story that will make audiences reconsider their approach towards women achieving more than their male counterparts. A woman is often told – Focus on your marriage, not just your career. If you keep achieving on the career front, it won’t be long before your relationship slips out of your hand. And if the woman in question begins to make significant strides at work and is possibly looked upon as more successful than her husband, she is warned that her success could make him insecure and the marriage itself could fall apart.

Such is the conundrum of Paragi Parashar, the female protagonist of Zee TV’s next fiction offering, Iss Mod Se Jaate Hain, who along with her love interest Sanjay Pathak, is preparing for her UPSC exam. While both of them are extremely motivated towards their joint goal of becoming IAS officers, the show captures the dynamics between the two families after Paragi clears her exam with flying colours and Sanjay doesn’t!

Iss Mod Se Jaate Hain will feature popular television actress Akshita Mudgal who will be portraying the role of Paragi, a smart, witty, and studious girl. On the other hand, the role of Sanjay will be played by none other than Hitesh Bharadwaj. Both of them will be seen playing IAS aspirants and the two actors are kicked about being part of such a unique show which will air from 6th Dec, every Monday – Saturday at 6:30PM.

Zee TV Business Head Aparna Bhosle said, “Our upcoming fiction show, Iss Mod Se Jaate Hain, is a dramatic love story that presents an interesting scenario where the girl is a step ahead of the boy in terms of career accomplishments. Our show captures the diverse reactions the couple faces from both sides of the family and the impact it will have on their relationship.”

To give the media an essence of the show’s core premise, Zee TV had popular television actress Anita Hassanandani, host a UPSC quiz for our leads – Paragi and Sanjay where Paragi clearly emerged as better prepared for her UPSC prelims. This led Anita to raise a very pertinent question about the reactions this couple will draw from certain sections of the society that continue to believe that a husband needs to be more successful than his wife.
Anita Hassanandani said, “I laud Zee TV for coming up with Iss Mood Se Jate Hain, their new show with an extremely relevant message at its heart. It captures what happens to a relationship where the girl is a step ahead of the boy in terms of their career goals. We are in the 21st century where women have made strides in practically every sphere that a man has forayed into. Yet society still expects women to be less successful than their husbands in the career game. While men are encouraged to prioritize their careers, women are often told to focus on their marriage. If a woman is professionally more successful than her partner, reactions from society create a challenging dynamic in their relationship. It is high time we began looking at career accomplishments from a gender-agnostic lens.”

She further added, “As a woman constantly motivated to excel and reach my fullest potential, I want to thank my husband Rohit for being the wind beneath my wings. I believe women can – and should – dream big and reach out for the stars and I thank Zee TV for putting out this message in an interesting manner through its show.”

Akshita Mudgal said, “I think the best part about Iss Mod Se Jaate Hain is its unique concept and the characters of Paragi and Sanjay. Our story focuses on how society reacts when a woman in a relationship gets ahead of her partner. We have been conditioned in a way where men are supposed to be more successful in terms of career while the woman of course can work but not be a step ahead in the career game. I think our show will make the audience question this mindset and inspire them to bring a change to their thought process.”

Hitesh Bharadwaj added, “I guess it’s high time we bring a change in the societal norms that dictate that a man needs to be more successful in his career than his wife. Our show talks about the reactions a couple faces when the woman is a few steps ahead of her man in their joint goal of becoming IAS officers. As a mature sensitive husband, my character Sanjay supports Paragi throughout. I’m hoping Iss Mod Se Jaate Hain gets people thinking in the right spirit about the issue.

Producer Saurabh Tewari from Parin Multimedia said, “Our last association with Zee TV was the gloriously successful Zindagi Ki Mahek, so now we’re excited to present audiences with our upcoming show on the channel – Iss Mod Se Jaate Hai. The story touches upon a problematic social construct where a man is free to prioritize his career, but a woman is often told to focus on her marriage and not over-achieve, lest she should end up making her husband insecure and risk jeopardizing her marriage. The reactions of society when our lead protagonist Paragi goes one step ahead of her partner Sanjay in their goal of becoming IAS officers form the crux of our show. We would be happy if the show manages to make viewers introspect and reconsider their views on gender equality.”

To know more, tune into ‘Iss Mod Se Jaate Hain’ which premieres on 6th December and airs every Monday to Saturday at 6:30 PM, only on Zee TV!
