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!

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Different wedding functions and events will be adding to the diversity of the bridal looks whilst highlighting their cultural influence on the outfits.

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.

“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!

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.

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!
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.”

Maharashtra Governor Honorable Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari launched the logo of ‘1 OTT’, a joint venture of leading film actor Swwapnil Joshi and noted industrialist-philanthropist Narendra Firodia, on December 1, 2021. The OTT (Over The Top) platform will cater to the regional content covering all major Indian language to become truly ‘Apne Bharat Ka Apna Mobile TV’. The platform will prove the OTT of India by telecasting films and series in regional languages including Hindi, Marathi, Bengali among others.
Honourable governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari after unveiling the logo of ‘1 OTT’ at a glitterati function held at Raj Bhavan said, “I congratulate Shri Swwapnil Joshi ji, Narendra Firodia ji and his team members on the occasion of the launch of the unique platform. I wish them and the venture every success in the endeavour undertaken,” he said.
Along with the Joshi and Firodia, the OTT platform has been supported by noted name in DTL activation Vinayak Satpute, founder members Venkatesh Shrinivasan, Rajiv Jani, leading banker Satish Utekar, noted name in entertainment industry Chetan Maniar and their team members who were present for the launch.
Swwapnil Joshi, the household name with his variety of roles in the films and serials and Narendra Firodia, a noted industrialist-philanthropist, were separately planning to launch the OTT for a long period. When they came to know about each other’s plan, they decided to join hands and launch it on the larger scale and change the definition of the regional content the way it is being presented today.
“I was thinking about starting the OTT for the last two years as I was looking to do something different to grow as an artist. We wanted to give a good OTT platform to the people. In the meantime, I discussed the venture with Narendra Firodia with whom I share very good relations for the last few years. When a learnt about his plans to launch OTT for regional languages content, we decided merge both the ventures,” said Swwapnil Joshi.
“Not only the regional languages in India, but even foreign language content can be added in future on the platform. We have a very good team of leading people from this field intending to form a global entity. We are happy to launch it today. We are looking forward for out of the box entertainment for the people across demographies,” Joshi said.
Narendra Firodia said, “The lockdown saw the launch of many OTT platforms catering to various genres of the content. India is a huge market for the contents on OTT and it has been proven in the last two years. Since the regional languages were not getting the due participation on these platforms, we decided to launch ‘1 OTT’ for the content in Indian languages. The platform will benefit the contents from all the Indian languages. We are aiming at giving quality content in Indian languages to our viewers and that way it will be India’s OTT.”
Shri Satish Utekar said, “The OTT space is heating up. As a true blue banker, I see a great future for the platform for the decades to come. We at ‘1 OTT’ are bound by the belief that entertainment needs to be affordable and a solid business model. As a Founder Director, I will try my best with the help from the team to achieve sustainable growth in the space. We are 1 and we have just begun!”
Chetan Maniar has the experience of more than two and half a decade in Pay TV industry and has successfully launched multiple linear channels and Pay TV platforms across the globe. “As a founding director, I am excited to announce the launch of the hybrid OTT platform “1 OTT – Apne Bharat Ka Apna Mobile TV that stands for 3 Es – ENTERTAIN, EDUCATE and E-COMMERCE. The platform enables to select language of own choice for the wider audience. Presenting regional and international content in various Indian languages makes the platform unique in all aspects. It also helps connecting the audience to rich Indian culture assimilated with various languages,” he said.
Mr.Vinayak Satpute said, “1 OTT, which is Apne Bharat Ka Apna Mobile TV, is in true sense a multi-language platform. The platform will cater not only to the urban audience, but even people in rural parts of the country. We are sure that the people from all walks of life will enjoy the content on this platform.”
Venkatesh Shrinivasan said, “As a founder member of ‘1 OTT’, I can surely say that our preliminary focus will the rural audience in the country. After working in rural India for a long time, we felt about the need to give them good entertainment in their own language. The content is being offered in such a manner that they could watch the programs whenever they need to as per their convenience. We call it Apne Bharat Ka Apna Mobile TV.”
इंजिनिअरिंगचे शिक्षण घेणाऱ्या युवकाने आपल्या डॉक्टर आजीचा खुर्चीला हातपाय बांधून गळा चिरून खून केल्याची धक्कादायक घटना नागपुरात उघडकीस आली आहे. पैश्याच्या हव्यासापोटी ज्या आजीच्या अंगाखांद्यावर खेळला, वाढला तिचीच आरोपीने निर्दयीपणे हत्या केली.
नागपूर : शनिवारी रात्री नागपूर शहराला हादरवून सोडणाऱ्या देवकाबाई बोबडे यांच्या हत्याकांडाचा उलगडा करण्यात नागपूर पोलिसांना यश आले आहे. मीतेश पाचभाई असे या आरोपीचे नाव असून तो मृत देवकाबाई बोबडे यांचा नातू आहे. त्यानेच ही हत्या केली असून पैशांसाठी ही हत्या केली असल्याचे प्राथमिक तपासात पुढे येत आहे.
शनिवारी दिवशी सायंकाळ च्या वेळी नंदनवन पोलीस स्टेशन हद्दीत शहराला हादरून टाकणारी घटना घडली. 78 वर्षीय निवृत्त डाक्टर देवकी बोबडे यांची खुर्चीला हातपाय बांधून गळा चिरून हत्या करण्यात आली आहे. पोलिसांनी या घटनेचा तांत्रिक पद्धतीने तपास केला असता हत्या करणारा घरचाच असल्याचं पुढे आलं आहे. ही महिला ज्या घरात राहायची त्याच घरी त्यांची मुलगी आणि जावई राहतात त्यांच्याच मुलाने हे दुष्कृत्य केले आहे. आरोपी नातू हा इंजिनिअरिंगचे शिक्षण घेत होता व त्याला पैशांची गरज होती.
त्याने आजी ला पैसे मागितले मात्र आजी ने पैसे देण्यास नकार दिल्याने त्याने निर्दयीपणे आजीची हत्या केली असल्याचं पोलिसांच्या प्राथमिक तपासात निष्पन्न झाले आहे. मात्र, पोलीस यात आणखी काही निष्पन्न होते का? याचा सुद्धा तपास करत आहे. या हत्येच्या घटनेने परिसर हादरला असून शहरात हळहळ माजली आहे. पण, पैश्याच्या हव्यासापोटी किंवा गरजे पोटी ज्या आजी च्या अंगाखांद्यावर खेळला, वाढला त्याच नातवाने तिची निर्दयीपणे हत्या केली. त्यामुळे आता नेमका विश्वास ठेवायचा कोणावर असा प्रश्न उपस्थित व्हायला लागला आहे.

Nagpur based Orange City Hospital & Research Institute; owned by Ravi Nair
Hospitals Private Limited recognized as trusted multi super speciality
hospital of common man is rendering dedicated public service since 25 years
to Central India. OCHRI Radiology Unit provides comprehensive diagnostic
services with its array of services namely MRI, CT scan, Regular Imaging,
Ultrasonography, Mammography and Color Doppler. Recently, OCHRI replaced its
earlier CT Scan machine with state of art 16 slice Philips Access CT scan
unit to ensure patient safety by minimizing radiation dose patients
especially children and protect radiation sensitive organs.
Shri.Mrinmoy Sarma- Project Manager from Philips India who led his team of
Shri.Gaurav Taldar- Sales Manager and Shri.Vikas Raghuvanshi- Installation
Engineer thanked OCHRI for the trust placed on Philips and conveyed that the
16 slice Access CT scan Unit enhances diagnostic confidence with superb
image quality.
The induction Pooja of the new unit was conducted by hands of spiritual
leaders led by Shri.Varadrajan Iyer while Shri.Udaybhaskar Nair performed
the role of Yajman. On this occasion Shri.Udaybhaskar Nair, Chairman-
NAIRSONS Group stated that continual improvement of service delivery system
is key to OCHRI’s success & goodwill. Central Indians expect OCHRI to be
trend setter and introduce novel advanced equipage to keep up with times.
Dr. Anup Marar- OCHRI Director stated that futuristic visionary outlook of
OCHRI management ensures best possible symbiosis of advancements and
expertise under one roof in public interest. In this new unit; The iDose is
an award-winning technology that helps personalize image quality based on
patient needs at low dose and the 70 kV scan mode – the first in a system of
its kind – helps take patient care to a new level by offering low-dose
scanning of smaller patients, and allowing for protection of
radiation-sensitive organs, he conveyed.
Dr. Usha Nair- RNHPL Managing Director stated that value based care is key
to retain goodwill. Keeping up with the ever-changing world of technology is
essential in health care and OCHRI is committed to it. Health care service
providers should not ignore the technological advances happening around them

understand that a single full-body CT scan gives a total radiation dose of
about 12 mSv and a simple chest CT scan equals to 100-200 x-rays. If need
outweighs the risks, then only CT scan should be ideally done. To minimize
radiation to incoming needy patients especially children, OCHRI went with
this new unit. He advised the citizens to keep track of the CT scans done in

A doctor by education, this Aurangabad born actor, Smita Dongre is now seen on India’s First Rural Entertainment Channel, Azaad has launched its 4th Original, Lovepantii. Created by Mahesh Pandey Productions, Lovepantii airs at 8 PM, every Monday to Saturday, only on Azaad. The promos are the talk of the town for their uniqueness and interesting character portrayals. The name is even more captivating – Lovepantii. The show is slated to be one the most entertaining youth-centric drama on Indian television.
The lead character, Arjun has been taught to live within parameters set by his father. Even his dreams have been tailored by his parents and he has accepted his life accordingly. The story of Lovepantii is about how this common boy rises to the occasion when he gets an idea that he is in love.
Here’s getting to know a key character, Devi Singh enacted by the veteran actor, Smita Dongre. The actress belongs to Aurangabad, Maharashtra. She is from a theatre background and been working since 15years in the film industry. Her best work in TV includea hits like Saibaba Balika Vadhu, Maharana Pratap, Astitva Ek Prem Kahani, Banu Main Teri Dulhan, Sonpari, Meri Maa, Mere Sai, CID, Aahat, Savdhan India, Crime Petrol, Pyar Tune Kya Kiya, Code Red, Lal Ishq, Crime alert, Mauka E Wardat, movies like Agnipankh, Aao Bhag Chale, Mere Sairam and many ad films like Baily Mineral Water, Swatch Bharat, Mutthut finance, Manyavar, MasterCard, Amazon, Flipkart amongst others.
The character, Devi, that Smita enacts is the eldest lady who manages the house and thus commands authority in the house. She is not very educated and she comes from a lower economic family. Hence, she enjoys the affluent life after marriage. She lets Kedarnath run her life too. She can stand up against anyone, but never against Kedarnath. She loves him and respects him for changing her life for the better and hence has become a devoted mother completely. Even when Kedarnath decided to raise Ranjana, the daughter of Kedarnath’s younger brother, as his own, she could not refuse him. Devi is just concerned about her own daughter. She worries that Ranjana’s extrovert behavior should not rub off of on her daughter, Suman, hence, she wants Suman to get married at the earliest. She loves Ranjana too, but subconsciously, Ranjana will always be Prakash and Sumitra’s daughter to her.
What made you say yes for this show?
I was very happy when I got a call for this show as a part of the primary cast because in COVID, many people lost their jobs and many were searching for work. I directly got a call for such a wonderful character from Mahesh Pandey Productions. I knew that Mahesh ji is very good writer and he will definitely give justice to every character so I was very excited. I sent my audition. And got positive response from the channel too. I’m thankful to Azaad’s team and Mahesh ji for giving me this opportunity to entertain rural audiences.
How did you prepare for the role?
I mentally prepared myself as a Devi, who is a mother as well as a Thakurain, and has her own beliefs about society and family, especially about girls and daughters. I prepared myself for it by trying to understand the character’s mindset.
If there is one thing you would like to change about your character in the show, what would it be?
Actually, I personally dislike any comparison between males and females and am against male dominance but in some situations, we need to understand the differences. I’m not for male dominance but as Devi, I go with the writer’s vision.
What was your first reaction when you were finalized for the show?
I am a very positive person and a strong believer of Karma. I was very happy when I got the confirmation call and felt blessed because, as I mentioned there are so many in such a worse situation. We have all gone a rough patch where there are many yet jobless with no extra source of income in our industry and are suffering. That I got such a wonderful project, I’m thankful to God, Azaad and especially Mahesh Pandey ji who believed that I’m capable to enact this character and also thank my family for their support.
How do you’ll deal with creative differences on the set while shooting?
There are no creative differences. Our entire team is like a family so we always have a proper discussion if we have any doubts and our creative team explains everything to us very well.
Tell us more about before becoming an actor?
As all of you know I’m a doctor by education. I completed my medical and started my own clinic. That time some of my friends joined our industry and they knew that I was very active in cultural programs like drama, singing, etc, in college and so they approached me for auditions and thats how my acting journey began.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I was never in rat race. Acting is my passion and my family is my priority and responsibility, so, I always worked to balanc both. I worked for my satisfaction and I never compare myself with anyone. I’m pursuing my own path so definitely in next five years also, I’ll be at some different and better destination but for sure, I’m not in rat race.

‘कू’ हा भारताचा बहुभाषिक मायक्रो-ब्लॉगिंग प्लॅटफॉर्म आहे. कू युजर्सना सोशल मीडिया जबाबदारीने कसा वापरावा हे शिकवते आहे. कू भारतीयांना त्यांच्या भाषेत व्यक्त होण्याती संधी देते. विशेषत: हे सगळे पहिल्यांदाच सोशल मीडिया वापरणारे लोक आहेत. त्यामुळे त्यांनी सोशल मीडिया योग्य पद्धतीने, सुरक्षितपणे आणि विधायक हेतूने वापरावा हे अतिशय महत्त्वाचे आहे.
सोशल मीडिया हे लोकांना जोडण्यासह त्यांना गुंतवून ठेवण्यासाठी महत्त्वाचे साधन आहे. हे माध्यम समाजकंटकांकडून आर्थिक फसवणूक, खासगीपणावर अतिक्रमण करणे, माहिती चोरणे आणि इतरही गुन्ह्यांसाठी वापरले जाऊ शकते. भारतातून संपूर्ण जगभरासाठी तयार केलेला सोशल मीडिया ब्रॅंड म्हणून कू ॲप युजर्सना माहिती मिळवून देण्यास अनेक पावले उचलते आहे. यातून युजर्स कुठलाही मजकूर सोशल मीडियावर पोस्ट करण्याआधी सावधपणे विचार करू शकतात. सोबतच विविध समुहांशी जोडून घेताना ते आपल्या फीडचेही नीट व्यवस्थापन करू शकतात.
कू ॲपने नुकताच इंडियन कॉम्प्युटर एमर्जन्सी रिस्पॉन्स टीम (सीइआरटी-इन) आणि मिनिस्ट्री ऑफ इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स ॲन्ड इन्फर्मेशन टेक्नॉलॉजी (एमइआयटीवाय), भारत सरकारसोबत करार केला आहे. यामाध्यमातून ऑक्टोबर महिन्यात संयुक्तपणे नागरिकांपर्यंत पोचून सायबर सुरक्षेसंदर्भात प्रबोधन केले जाते. ऑक्टोबर हा राष्ट्रीय सायबर सुरक्षा जागृती महिना असतो. सीइआरटी-इन आणि कू ॲप या दोघांनी एकत्र येत फिशिंग, हॅकिंग, खासगी माहितीची सुरक्षा, पासवर्ड आणि पिनचे व्यवस्थापन, क्लिकबेट्स टाळणे आणि सार्वजनिक वायफाय वापरताना आपली गोपनीयता व खासगीपण जपणे अशा कळीच्या गोष्टींबाबत लोकांमध्ये जागृती केली. ‘कू’ने ही मोहिम अनेक भारतीय भाषांमध्ये पार पाडली.यातून देशभरातल्या इंटरनेट युजर्समध्ये जागृती घडली.
सोबतच, युजर्सचे प्रबोधन करण्याच्या या मोहिमेत, कू कंटेट मॉडरेशनसाठी क्राऊड-सोर्सिंगही करत आहे. यात युजर्सना खोट्या मजकूराकडे निर्देश केल्याबद्दल बक्षिस दिले जाईल. तसेच, पडताळून न पाहता मजकुराला फेक म्हणल्यास त्यांना दंडही होऊ शकतो.
कू हा भारतीय मंच युजर्सना ऑनलाईन उपलब्ध असलेल्या मोफत संसाधनांबाबत जागरूक करतो आहे. कुठलाही मजकूर ऑनलाइन शेअर करण्याआधी युजर्स ही संसाधने वापरता येतात. सोबतच कू सध्या सल्लागार मंडळ नेमण्याची प्रक्रियाही करते आहे. हे मंडळ कंटेंट मॉडरेशनची धोरणे ठरवेल. एक जबाबदार सोशल मीडिया प्लॅटफॉर्म म्हणून कू सातत्याने प्रभावी पद्धती शोधत स्थानिक पातळीवर अंमलात येऊ शकणारे उपाय शोधण्याचा प्रयत्न करते. यातून युजर्सना निश्चितच विविध भाषांमध्ये सोशल होत संवाद साधण्याचा प्रभावी आनंद घेता येतो.
