It is a dream come true to portray the character of Herod Antipas in &TV’s Yeshu”, says Rudra Soni

Rudra Soni has been all over television shows and ads since a very young age and has managed to create a consistent fan base right from his childhood to his teens. Known to take up challenging roles at such an early age, Rudra is yet again all set to portray Herod Antipas in &TV’s latest offering ‘Yeshu’. In a candid conversation, Rudra expresses his joy of experimenting with negative characters, his inspirations and more. 

1. You were on a short break before Yeshu. What made you think that the show will be a good comeback for you?

I had to take a short break from acting due to my focus on education. Though I would not call it a comeback as the gap was not that long, I was looking forward to being a part of a show that would allow me to do something different and challenging. With Yeshu, I when I heard the narration of my character – King Antipas, I was excited and quite thrilled. The role is undoubtedly robust and impactful, and I am sure the viewers too will agree with me when they see me on screen!

2. What is the role you are playing?

Let me start by saying that my character has layers of shades. Very few may know of the fact that Herod Antipas was much more spiteful and radical than his father, King Herod. It is indeed a very challenging and equally fascinating character. I have already started reading up on him to understand the nuances of the character.

3. How satisfied are you with the character? 

Portraying a negative character is a dream come true for me. Having played various chocolate boy and positive roles in the past, I was yearning to take up something refreshingly different and impactful. And this came by right in time. Herod Antipas is precisely the character that I would like to play. He is scary, villainous and is into all sorts of politics. Playing a negative role is not as easy. But it allows one to bring in different shades in character, which makes the character noteworthy. While I understand playing a hero is equally tricky but playing a villain involves more conviction. It is difficult to make people believe that you are wrong in comparison to making them think that you are right. I wanted to challenge myself with this character, and I am grateful for this fantastic opportunity

4. How did you bag this role? How many audition rounds did you undergo for the same?

After playing notable characters on television, I was approached by the makers of Yeshu to portray King Antipas. After the first round of the audition, I got a call that I was selected for the part. I was over the moon! My happiness knew no bounds. We have started the shoot recently, and I am thoroughly enjoying every bit of it and even discovering fascinating stories, which is great learning for me, personally as well as professionally.

 

5. Any special preparations you are undergoing to get into the character?

Herod Antipas is different from the antiheroes or villains as we call them, shown on Indian television and movies. He has many shades, and that is indeed quite fascinating. To prep for the character, I am spending a lot of time understanding the journey, look, and feel, mannerisms and overall personality of the character that the Director wishes to project on the screen. Each villain has his personality, and the moment one gets to understand that better, the portrayal becomes much at ease.

6. What exactly is the storyline? What are your expectations from the show and the viewers?

‘Yeshu’ is a story of an exceptionally benevolent child who only wants to do good and spread happiness all around him. His love and compassion for all is a stark contrast to the dark, evil forces prevalent during his birth and childhood. Witnessing the various atrocities on his family and in society has a deep impact on him. His attempt to help others and ease their pain often leads to situations where he inevitably ends up being hurt and condemned, by not just the oppressors, but also the people at large. But even that doesn’t stop Yeshu from continuing on his path. It is not only the most iconic story of good versus evil, but it also captures the beautiful relationship between Yeshu and his support and guide – his mother. Yeshu is an untold and unheard story, first time seen in the Hindi GEC space. I am looking forward to work with the stellar cast of the show which includes Sonali ma’am, Darpan Sir and many more great artists. I am sure the show will strike a chord with the audience and will receive acceptance and appreciation. We all are very excited and looking forward to our viewers’ reaction.

NO ACTOR HAS YET BEEN APPROACHED” - SUHELDEV PRODUCERS CLARIFY

 Ever since it was announced that celebrated author Amish’s new book, ‘Suheldev – The King Who Saved India’ will be adapted into a feature film, there has been intense speculation in the media about who would play the title role. This isn’t surprising, considering the immense success of the book since it was released and the interest it has garnered around the world, especially amongst Amish’s fans.

 

Certain sections of the media have reported names of certain actors having been approached, accepted, or having turned down the title role of King Suheldev, despite no such development or official statement coming from the film’s makers.

 

To end this speculation, the film’s producers (Wakaoo Films, Casa Media and Immortal Studios) have issued a joint statement in this regard.

 

The producers categorically state:

 

“Nobody has checked with us before carrying these stories, and hence we felt the need to clarify and inform the public about the film’s progress till date. Suheldev is a mammoth project, and also a huge responsibility on us, as we are telling the story of one of India’s greatest unsung heroes.

 

“Right now, the book is being adapted into a film screenplay. Once the script is locked, we will begin the process of casting etc. It would be premature for us to approach an actor before that.

 

“No actor has been approached by us yet for playing the role of King Suheldev. All reports and speculation coming in from certain sections of the media are unnecessary and completely untrue.

 

“Suheldev is a film that should be celebrated by every Indian. Once the script and the actors are locked, we’ll officially make a grand announcement. Till then, we request the media to be patient and let us continue with our job of developing this important film.”

 

The film is an epic story of the unsung warrior, King Suheldev, who fought valiantly to drive the all-conquering Turkic hordes away from India. The film has its author, Amish, as the official creative producer on the project, and will be directed by the award-winning ad filmmaker Senthil Kumar

सिन्हा अपने पिता की कल्ट-हिट फिल्म विश्वनाथ के रीमेक का हिस्सा बनने का देख रहे हैं सपना

 जैसे-जैसे साल खत्म होने के करीब आता जा रहा है, वैसे-वैसे इंडस्ट्री के कलाकार इस तपिश भरे साल के बारे में अपने विचार साझा कर रहे हैं और साथ ही नए साल को लेकर उनकी आकांक्षाएं भी शुरू होने लगी हैं। लव सिन्हा ने भी सोशल मीडिया पर अपने विचारों को साझा करते हुए बताया कि 2021 के लिए उनकी आशाएं और सपने क्या हैं।

समर्पित युवा अभिनेता आने वाले वर्ष में एक अलग प्रकार की भूमिका निभाने की उम्मीद कर रहा है। फिल्म के हीरो हमेशा यादगार होते हैं, लेकिन विलन की भूमिका निभाते हुए ऑडियंस पर अपनी छाप छोड़ने के लिए एक सच्चे कलाकार की जरूरत होती है। शोले का गब्बर, वन्स अपॉन ए टाइम इन मुंबई का दाऊद इब्राहिम, पद्मावत का अलाउद्दीन खिलजी सभी अविश्वसनीय रूप से प्रभावशाली और मजबूत विलन थे, जिन्होंने ऑडियंस के लिए एक स्थायी प्रभाव छोड़ा। लव भी ऐसी ही छाप छोड़ने की उम्मीद कर रहे हैं।

इंस्टाग्राम पर शेयर की गई पोस्ट के कैप्शन में उन्होंने मेंशन किया, "मैंने पहले भी यह लिखा है, लेकिन मेरा ड्रीम रोल सुपरविलन या एंटी हीरो की भूमिका निभाने का है। मैं अपने #2021 गोल्स के चलते क्रिश 4 में नकारात्मक भूमिका या विश्वनाथ के रीमेक में मुख्य भूमिका निभाना चाहता हूँ।"

लव सिन्हा ने नकारात्मक किरदार निभाने की अपनी इच्छा के बारे में बात करते हुए कहा, "मुझे लगता है कि नकारात्मक चरित्र किसी भी अभिनेता को चुनौती देता है और व्यक्तिगत रूप से, मुझे हमेशा एक नकारात्मक चरित्र निभाने में दिलचस्पी रही है क्योंकि यह आपको विभिन्न भावनाओं और अपने स्वयं के व्यक्तित्व के विभिन्न रंगों का पता लगाने की अनुमति देता है।"

जूनियर शॉटगन 'विश्वनाथ' के रीमेक पर काम करने के लिए प्लान कर रहे हैं, जो उनके दिल के बेहद करीब हैं क्योंकि उनके पिता इस फिल्म में अभिनय कर चुके हैं। हम इस युवा सितारे के लिए आने वाले वर्ष में उज्जवल भविष्य की कामना करते हैं, और इसके लिए उन्हें ढ़ेर सारी शुभकामनाएं देते हैं।

ग्लेनमार्क भारत में टाइप 2 डायबिटीज वाले वयस्कों के लिए सस्ती कीमत पर रेमोग्लिफ्लोज़िन + विल्डाग्लिप्टिन का फिक्स्ड डोज कॉम्बिनेशन लॉन्च करने वाली पहली कंपनी बनी

 ग्लेनमार्क दुनिया की पहली कंपनी है जिसने रेमोग्लिफ्लोज़िन (100 मिलीग्राम) + विल्डाग्लिप्टिन (50 मिलीग्राम) फिक्स्ड डोज कॉम्बिनेशन (एफडीसी) लॉन्च किया।

· एफडीसी की मार्केटिंग दो ब्रांड नामों रेमो V और रेमोज़ेन V के तहत की जायेगी।

· रेमोग्लिफ्लोज़िन एक इनोवेटिव, पेटेंट-संरक्षित सोडियम ग्लूकोज को-ट्रांसपोर्टर-2 (एसजीएलटी2) इनहिबिटर है, जिसे वयस्कों में टाइप 2 डायबिटीज के उपचार के लिए निर्देशित किया गया है।

· इस लॉन्च के साथ, कंपनी का उद्देश्य एसजीएलटी2 इनहिबिटर्स और डीपीपी4 इनहिबिटर्स तक रोगी की पहुंच बढ़ाना है जो डायबिटीज की प्रभावी देखभाल में लाभदायक हैं।

· ग्लेनमार्क के रेमो V और रेमोज़ेन V की कीमत 14 रुपये प्रति टैबलेट है, और थेरेपी लागत 28 रुपये प्रतिदिन है, जो भारत में उपलब्ध अन्य एसजीएलटी2 और डीपीपी4 कॉम्बिनेशन ब्रांड के मुकाबले 65% कम है।

 

भारत; दिसंबर; 2020: शोध-केंद्रित वैश्विक दवा कंपनी, ग्लेनमार्क फार्मास्युटिकल्स लिमिटेड (ग्लेनमार्क), नेभारत में अपने नवीनतम, पेटेंट-संरक्षित और विश्व स्तरीय शोध-आधारित सोडियम ग्लूकोज को-ट्रांसपोर्टर इनहिबिटर (एस.जी. एल.टी.2i) - रेमोग्लिफ्लोज़िन एटाबोनेट का फिक्स्ड डोज कॉम्बिनेशन (एफ.डी.सी) तथा व्यापक रूप से इस्तेमाल किया जाने वाला एक अन्य डीपीपी 4 इनहिबिटर (डाईपेप्टाइडिल पेप्टिडेज 4 इनहिबिटर) – विल्डाग्लिप्टिन लॉन्च किया। फिक्स्ड डोज कॉम्बिनेशन टाइप 2 डायबिटीज की देखभाल में मदद करता है। कॉम्बिनेशन के तहत एक फिक्स्ड डोज में रेमोग्लिफ्लोज़िन (100 मिलीग्राम) + विल्डाग्लिप्टिन (50 मिलीग्राम) होगा और रोगियों में ग्लाइसेमिक कंट्रोल को बेहतर बनाने के लिए इसे रोजाना दो बार लिया जाना चाहिए। ग्लेनमार्क ने इसे दो ब्रांड नाम रेमो V और रेमोजेन V के अंतर्गत लॉन्च किया है।

 

ग्लेनमार्क दुनिया की पहली कंपनी है जिसने रेमोग्लिफ्लोज़िन + विल्डाग्लिप्टिन फिक्स्ड डोज़ कॉम्बिनेशन लॉन्च किया है और भारत इस एफ.डी.सी दवा तक पहुँच पाने वाला पहला देश है। ग्लेनमार्क को नवंबर 2020 के अंतिम दिनों में रेमोग्लिफ्लोज़िन + विल्डाग्लिप्टिन कॉम्बिनेशन की मैन्यूफैक्चरिंग और मार्केटिंग के लिए डी.सी.जी.आई (भारत का दवा अनुमोदन प्राधिकरण) से मंजूरी मिली।

 

विश्व स्तर पर, एसजीएलटी2, इनहिबिटर और डीपीपी4 इनहिबिटर, टाइप 2 डायबिटीज की देखभाल के पसंदीदा उपचार विकल्प के रूप में उभर रहे हैं। भारत में डायबिटीज के रोगियों के लिए कम कीमत पर नवीनतम उपचारों तक पहुंच प्रदान करने में ग्लेनमार्क सबसे आगे रहा है।

 

टाइप 2 डायबिटीज जैसी क्रोनिक बीमारियों में, रोगियों को लंबे समय तक कई डायबिटीज-रोधी दवाओं का सेवन करना पड़ता है। इसके अलावा, भारत में, रोगियों को अपने दम पर दवा का खर्च उठाना पड़ता है और इसलिए दवा की कीमत उपचार को प्रभावित करने वाला एक प्रमुख कारक बन जाती है। जहां एक ही दवा श्रेणी में मौजूदा ब्रांड की औसत दैनिक थेरेपी लागत 78 रुपये है, वहीं ग्लेनमार्क के रेमोग्लिफ्लोज़िन + विल्डाग्लिप्टिन कॉम्बिनेशन को 14 रुपये प्रति टैबलेट की कीमत पर लॉन्च किया गया है, जिसे रोजाना दो बार लेना होता है, जिसकी लागत 28 रुपये प्रति दिन होती है। यह लागत बाजार में उपलब्ध अन्य एसजीएलटी2 और डीपीपी4 कॉम्बिनेशन दवाओं की तुलना में 65% कम है।

 

ग्लेनमार्क का रेमोग्लिफ़्लोज़िन + विल्डाग्लिप्टिन कॉम्बिनेशन भारत में मरीजों की विश्व स्तरीय और पूरी तरह शोध-आधारित कॉम्बिनेशन प्रॉडक्ट तक बेहतर पहुंच बनायेगा और उनको किफायती मूल्य पर उपलब्ध करायेगा। इस कॉम्बिनेशन को भारत के दवा नियामक, डी.सी.जी.आई, द्वारा भारत में 18 वर्ष से अधिक आयु के वयस्कों के लिए अनुमोदित किया गया है। इसके अलावा, इसे जब मेटफोर्मिन और फिक्स्ड डोज कॉम्बिनेशन के मोनो-कम्पोनेंट्स में से कोई एक कम्पोनेंट, पर्याप्त ग्लाइसेमिक कंट्रोल प्रदान नहीं करता हो, या जब पहले से ही रेमोग्लिफ़्लोज़िन और विल्डाग्लिप्टिनकी अलग-अलग खुराक के साथ इलाज किया जा रहा हो, तो टाइप 2 डायबिटीज के साथ ग्लाइसेमिक कंट्रोल में सुधार लाने के लिए भी इसे अनुमोदित किया गया है।

 

श्री आलोक मलिक, ग्रुप वाइस प्रेसिडेंट एवं बिजनेस हेड, इंडिया फॉर्मुलेशंस ने कहा कि “ग्लेनमार्क भारत में डायबिटीज रोगियों के लिए नवीनतम उपचार विकल्पों तक पहुंच प्रदान करने में अग्रणी रहा है। इस इनोवेटिव फिक्स्ड डोज कॉम्बिनेशन को पेश करते हुए हमें खुशी महसूस हो रही हैं। यह कॉम्बिनेशन बिल्कुल आधुनिक है, इसके लिए बड़े पैमाने पर शोध किया गया है और यह देश में मरीजों के लिए किफायती कीमत पर उपलब्ध है। ग्लेनमार्क के लिए डायबिटीज महत्वपूर्ण क्षेत्र है और इस प्रॉडक्ट के लॉन्च से हम भारत में रोगियों को एक प्रभावी, उच्च गुणवत्तापूर्ण, विश्व स्तरीय और किफायती उपचार विकल्प प्रदान करके डायबिटीज उपचार को

How will Garima and Susheela marry their own male disguise?

 An exciting plot twist awaits for the viewers and fans of Kaatelal & Sons. Sony SAB's inspirational dramedy will take the viewers on the roller coaster ride with Susheela (Jiya Shankar) and Garima's (Megha Chakraborty) marriage fiasco. The show's upcoming episodes will witness Dharampal announcing Garima and Susheela's marriage with none other than – Gunnu and Sattu. Kaatelal & Sons continues to entertain the viewers with a highly engaging storyline and bringing in rib-tickling moments that are bound to make you laugh. 

Garima and Susheela are seen by Dharampal's sworn enemy, Jagat (Deepak Tokas) while riding a bike with Gunnu and Sattu at several occasions. To tarnish Dharampal's image, Jagat plasters the town with Garima and Susheela's pictures with Gunnu and Sattu and insults Dharampal for his daughters’ affair with the boys who run his salon. Dharampal, furious after learning this information about his daughters, puts them on house arrest while declaring that both the sisters will soon be married to none other than Gunnu and Sattu. 

Livid and anxious with the seemingly absurd turn of events, both Garima and Susheela try to convince their father of their innocence but all the efforts lie futile in front of Dharampal. He calls for Gunnu and Sattu to finalize the marriage. Taking this as an opportunity to get out of the marriage, Gunnu and Sattu refuse to marry Garima and Susheela only to be showered with Dharmapal's wrath. 

Dharampal threatens them to throw out of the salon, where Gunnu and Sattu are left with no choice but to agree for the marriage.

How will Garima and Susheela marry themselves? Will this confusion expose their secret in front of Dharampal?

Megha Chakraborty, essaying Garima's role, said, "Garima and Susheela have landed in a soup. Their concerns are not only to be married without their consent but to be married to their disguise. It was hilarious when I read the script and I was certain it would be enjoyable to shoot this. Jiya and I thoroughly enjoyed these episodes and laughed a lot during the shoot. I am sure our viewers are going to enjoy this as it promises, fun and madness. So stay tuned, to watch Garima and Susheela escape their marriage with themselves."

Jiya Shankar, essaying the role of Susheela said, "Susheela is not a girl who even thinks or dreams of getting married. Her aspirations in life are different and right now, it is only to run Kaatelal & Sons successfully. While juggling the madness of changing their disguise every now and then, Susheela and Garima have landed in a situation where they need to marry themselves. My character Susheela will be seen getting furious about the situation but at the same time, the sisters are in a fix as they desperately try to find a solution to their unique problem. Excitement, fun, laughter and madness awaits for our viewers, so stay tuned."

Indigenous Green Jackfruit Flour That Helps Control Blood Sugar, Now Recognised by American Diabetes Association

 James Joseph, Founder & CEO, Jackfruit365

For a country like India, with varied cuisines and irregular eating habits, diabetes has turned out to be the gateway disease to other ailments. Since our traditional cuisines are rich in refined carbohydrates, diabetic patients have little options and they end up consuming food with a high glycemic index.

James Joseph, a tech veteran who worked with the likes of Microsoft, Ford and 3M for over 25 years, accidentally discovered the benefits of green jackfruit for diabetes, which led him to develop a patented green jackfruit flour, which is clinically proven to control blood sugar. The clinical study results have been published in the American Diabetes Association journal, Diabetes. 

In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, with results published in ADA journal Diabetes , a significant decrease in hba1c was observed within 90 days amongst participants taking 30g of Jackfruit365 green jackfruit ­flour daily, as part of their diet replacing an equal volume of rice or wheat ­flour.

"I was taking insulin for 5yrs and came to know about the benefits of green jackfruit flour for controlling blood sugar during a TV channel debate. Out of curiosity and interest for the biodiversity of Kerala, I started using a table spoon of Jackfruit365

Clensta Covid 19 Protection Lotion – your long term shield against COVID 19 & the harmful effects of hand sanitisers

 2020 witnessed a drastic change in the lifestyle of people with the onset of COVID 19. The global outbreak of the virus has made sanitisers an integral part of our lives. As a short term solution, sanitisers mattered but the side effects weigh heavily against long term, frequent usage of the same. Frequent usage has long term side effects.

 

Sanitiser limitations and side effects:

 

1. High alcohol percentage – the constant application of alcohol-based sanitisersremoves all the moisture and oils of the skin causing irritation, burning and increases the risk of hand dermatitis or 'eczema.' This commonly manifests on the skin with redness, dryness, cracks, and even blisters that causespain and discomfort.

 

2. Several research studies have reported that some non-alcohol-based hand sanitisers containing an antibiotic compound called Triclosan are a health hazard as their overuse has negative effects on fertility, foetal development and asthma. According to the FDA, Triclosan present in hand sanitisers can also cause hormonal issues.

 

3. Each sanitiser application lasts for up to 15-30 seconds, after which, protection from any exposure to the virus is minimum. People tend to apply sanitisers up to 10 times a day onaverage.

 

4. Sanitisers can only be used on the hands.

 

The better alternative to the sanitisers – the best one – made in India – CLENSTA Covid 19 Protection Lotion

*Amid the festive season, Iulia Vantur was seen as the face of Parul Khanna’s Studio 6 Jewels !*

 Studio 6 Jewels, founded by entrepreneur and business woman, Parul Khanna, has already made its presence felt on social media. Dedicated to handcrafted urban imitation jewellery, Studio 6 Jewels launched on December 21. Television host, news anchor and singer, Iulia Vantur is the face of the jewellery brand. 

As she gears up for the big launch, Khanna shares that she dedicated Studio 6 to her late mother. She says, “I started this venture in the remembrance of my beloved mother who I lost a year back. She was an Iron Lady and the backbone of our family. Her love and fondness towards jewellery was impeccable. I grew up watching her wear minimalist yet elegant and exquisite jewellery. It was bliss to watch how she carried them so gracefully. She always loved and admired my designs and, in a way, passed me this passion for jewellery, so I completely dedicate this brand to my mother.”

She adds, “This Covid-19 pandemic has given tough times to all of us and in order to boost my morale and be dedicated, I decided to launch this jewellery brand. What better than launching it during the holiday and festive season, which is the perfect time to spread joy and happiness with your near and dear ones!”

Vantur, who has lent her vocals to songs in films like Veere Di Wedding and Race 3, was thrilled to be the brand ambassador for Studio 6 Jewels. “When Parul got in touch with me and shared the range of her exquisite designs, I instantly knew I found the perfect piece of jewellery to wear on New Years Eve! She is a talented designer and entrepreneur with an eye for details and elegance. The sentimental value attached to the brand was heartwarming and I am glad to be the face of it. I wish her luck for this new venture. She surely made this festive season extra special for all the women out there.”

Studio 6 Jewels is all set to carve a niche in the world of contemporary jewellery with its unique and elegant designs with fine details and intricate work. Khanna’s designs witness the coming together of yesteryear charm and contemporary style. The use of semi-precious stones, diamonds and pearls makes Studio 6 Jewels stand out in the realm of imitation jewellery. Be it festivals or special events, Studio 6 Jewels offers an array of options.

Paras Arora (Dr. Pramod in Sony SAB’s Kaatelal & Sons)

 This year has taught us so many things. I always believed more in planning the future but the past few months made me understand the importance of living in the moment and enjoying it. Hence, I have stopped worrying about upcoming problems and instead started enjoying the present moment more. This definitely doesn’t mean spending every penny you have earned, without any planning. 

While we didn’t have much work in terms of shoots, this year, it still feels like a very tiring year, mentally. Hence, I want to travel a lot in 2021, to relax and be recharged. The past year has also taught us how much we need our friends and family, especially at such low times. So, I will make sure I catch up with them more often this year. My New Year resolution is to concentrate on my fitness as I will try to hit the gym everyday. I have also wanted to learn playing the Guitar for a long time and hope to accomplish that this year. 

To bring in the new year, I am planning to have a house-party with some of my close friends, keeping in mind all the restrictions and safety protocols currently.

• Ashi Singh (Yasmine in Sony SAB’s Aladdin- Naam Toh Suna Hoga)

The year 2020 taught has taught me the value of people and things, that I earlier took for granted, thinking I will always have them with me. So, I have learnt to be grateful and feel blessed for whatever I have in my life.

I recently had a pre-new year trip with my friends to Goa, since I wanted to avoid the New Year crowd during these times. So, on the New Year’s Eve, I will be at home, with my family.

I don’t believe in New Year resolutions because I took one last year and couldn’t stick by it. I feel if you want to start something good, you can do it anytime and anywhere. To compensate for all the wasted time of 2020, I have already started working on my fitness and I am going to continue that through the next year, with much more determination. 

• Gulki Joshi (Haseena Mallik in Sony SAB’s Maddam Sir)

The one thing that 2020 has taught me is that ‘Control is an illusion’. We go about in our lifes planning and then cribbing and complaining if things don’t go as planned. Then, something like a pandemic hits and you realize that nothing is in your control. Even if you have everything sorted or completely damaged, it doesn’t really matter. You need to go on and take life as it comes. However, the biggest learning for me has been that anything can happen at anytime and hence, managing finances is very important.

For the coming year, I plan to rest and relax a lot, spending time with my family and close friends. My New Year resolution is to get better at social media. 

• Yukti Kapoor (Karishma Singh in Sony SAB’s Maddam Sir)

This year taught me to be calm and also to save money. The most important thing that I learnt is to love yourself more than anything or anyone else because your happiness matters the most. So, I have started loving myself a little more.

With the new year arriving, I have decided to be disciplined in life- wake up early, work out, have fun and be more passionate about my work. Since I live away from my parents, I will make sure I spend as much time with my family as possible because I miss that home love and care here in Mumbai. 

I plan to enter 2021 by traveling to Goa with my brothers as I love travelling with them. For the same, I have applied for a few days off from the shooting of Maddam Sir, way in advance and I am very excited.

*Igor Angulo: All for the team*

 ~ The striker has thrived in his first 8 games, but all he cares is the team’s success~

Goa, December 28, 2020: A week earlier, there was another request for an interaction from the media for Igor Angulo. 8 goals in as many games in your very first season in the Indian Super League generally leads to this kind of attention.

Blighted with requests time and again Angulo’s reply to the task at hand was one that says more about the man than most actions that get highlighted on the television sets. 

“I would prefer to not talk immediately ahead of the game, but if you need me, for the team, I will make myself available.”

Angulo’s impact on FC Goa has been immediate, prominent, and profound. There are just no two ways about it. The Spaniard has quickly become one of the most talked-about players in the league and yet his focus has always been on one thing - the team. 

And time and again he dispels any extra praise heaped on him for his finishing touches at the head of FC Goa’s attacking schemes. 

“I'm a striker. I must score goals, that's my job and the best way I can help my team,” the forward remarked on his importance in the schematic that Juan Ferrando has laid out this season. “Everyone here has his own responsibility on the pitch, we are all equally important.”

A ‘team player’ is arguably one of the most cherished terms in a head coach’s dictionary. Igor Angulo personifies that; not only with his play but his attitude off it. 

Back on track

The Gaurs seemed to have lost their momentum after consecutive defeats at the hands of ATK Mohun Bagan and Chennaiyin. Then against Jamshedpur it all seemed to be going awry as the Red Miners drew first blood thanks to a Stephen Eze goal in the first half. 

Character, though, is something that this team is not short on. Playing for each other and for the name on the front of the shirt has been a characteristic of the new-look FC Goa side. That was brought to the fore as the Gaurs claimed points against Bengaluru and NorthEast from losing positions. And then against Mumbai, they dominated large portions of the game against Mumbai despite being a man down for more than a half of the game and looked the more likely to score for the first part of the second half. 

That quality was again on show last Wednesday night. 

A second half revival saw the Gaurs claim all three points when the referee sounded the final whistle. Leading the comeback yet again was the 36-year-old in FC Goa’s number 17 shirt. It was a performance that typified his first season with the Gaurs (where he has scored a goal for every 19.5 touches, he has taken).

With Angulo in the box, the Gaurs always have a chance and he showed that yet again. 

“We had played better in previous games, but in our situation the most important thing was to get all three points that night. Getting the victories are crucial as they help build our confidence and that in turn affects our performance,” opined Angulo after the game.  

“I told the guys that we just need to breathe easy and not be anxious. That we had to trust ourselves, because our chances will come. We have the quality. And it finally arrived and thankfully, we dispatched them in the second half. I am just glad that I played a role”

And what a role it was! After coolly slotting a penalty past TP Rehenesh in the Jamshedpur goal, Angulo delivered a 94th minute dagger with a header via the back of his head.

“I went to the first post with confidence, but I was very well marked and it was difficult to find the best contact to score,” recalls the current leader in the race for the ISL Golden Boot. 

“Finally, I headed it the only way possible to score from that position. The happiness when I saw the ball in the net was incredible, more than for just myself, for the team. We needed that victory.”

Best yet to come

Under new head coach Juan Ferrando, the Gaurs have looked ever impressive in the middle of the park. Protecting the ball and retaining possession have taken an upswing. 

However, with all the new faces, a curtailed pre-season and games coming at a swift pace, the jagged edges that still lie in regards to the Gaurs’ play in the final third has still room for further smoothening to help bring forth the kind of product Juan Ferrando would like to present. 

“We need time to fine tune a few more things. The timing of our movements, the instincts of knowing where to play the ball for a certain person and when to time the runs,” the 36-year-old further elaborated. “The squad is new; we had a short preseason and everything needs time. I'm sure the best of FC Goa is yet to come.”

The general consensus has been that this team has so far only scratched the surface of their true potential. And that is what should excite all FC Goa faithful. 

The new man in the number 17 shirt for the Gaurs has shown a penchant for delivering the perfect touch to lead it to the back of the net whether be through his favourite left foot, his chest or the back of his head. But more importantly, it’s his desire to do the utmost for the team, an attitude that not only helps him excel but also rub off on others to give their best. 

A leader, a forward, a team player - how may ever you want to describe the man. He is all for the team.

*Practically Launches Its First Brand Campaign*

 • The campaign includes TV, Digital, Print and Social Media Marketing with a regional focus on Andhra Pradesh and Telangana markets

• The TVCs received a stupendous response with close to a million views since its launch

December 29, 2020: Practically, a new e-learning app, designed to make learning experien

tial and increase retention among students of class 6 to 12, has kickstarted its first-ever brand campaign around the theme - ‘Bring Learning Alive’. The USP of the product is intelligent, interactive and immersive learning experience driven by 3D videos, simulations and Augmented Reality and hence the campaign proposition is ‘Bring Learning Alive’.  

The rationale for the above proposition is guided by the main features of the app – Life-like video content, Hands-on Learning, Experiential Learning, Access to Subject Experts, Live Classes & Meet Proton - the official brand mascot, all of which add to the enhanced and engaging experience for the user. Coding++, a new feature which promises to be the A-Z of coding is due to be launched soon.

This makes Practically a comprehensive e-learning choice for every student, besides giving parents a one-stop solution to address their child’s academic needs. The brand campaign includes 2 weeks of associate sponsorship on Big Boss Telegu 2020, print, digital marketing and social media amplification. The TV association and print ads will run in the month of December while the digital and social leg of the campaign will extend well over the next month, giving the campaign scale.

 

While the main focus is on Andhra Pradesh and Telangana given that these are the current priority markets for the brand, the digital campaign will run in the top 15 cities in the country with a greater emphasis on Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai. Through this initiative the brand aims to strengthen its connect with audiences in the run up to the pan-India launch of the brand in the coming months.

Talking about the campaign, Mahadev Srivatsa, VP – Marketing & Brand Strategy, Practically said, “Launching our first ever brand campaign was an absolute delight. The objective of the campaign was to create awareness about the brand and showcase exactly how Practically brings learning alive for students through its immersive features. The 30 sec TVCs highlight all the main features of the brand, woven around the brand proposition of ‘Bring Learning Alive Practically’. The jingle format serves as a perfect clutter breaker to land this message in a fun and engaging manner. Both TVCs have been well received and are already close to crossing a million views combined on YouTube since the campaign’s launch on 5th December. This is a positive start to many more and bigger things to come and the feedback is extremely encouraging.”

The ‘Bring Learning Alive’ campaign, was conceptualised by the brand team in partnership with Something Completely Different, a video production house based out of Hyderabad and Bangalore.

*AMP Capital establishes energy transmission platform in India with Sterlite Power**AMP Capital establishes energy transmission platform in India with Sterlite Power*

 - Both invest USD 150 Million each in the development of four transmission projects

Global investment manager AMP Capital has established a 50/50 partnership with Sterlite Power Transmission Limited (Sterlite Power) for the development of energy transmission projects in India. This marks the first investment in India for AMP Capital’s global infrastructure equity strategy.

AMP Capital and Sterlite Power will each invest an initial amount of approximately USD 150 million in the development of four transmission projects, and have put in place debt financing, which represents a total capital outlay of around USD 1 billion. These projects have a circuit length of nearly 1800 kilometres of transmission lines across the Western, Southern and North Eastern regions of India. They will provide the critical infrastructure required for evacuating power from multiple renewable energy generation projects and will strengthen the power delivery infrastructure in the country. 

The partners may in the future contribute further capital for new inter-state transmission projects which are expected to be tendered by the government of India. Therefore, the partnership has the potential to reach an overall investment size of USD 500 million. 

Transmission infrastructure has underpinned the rapid growth seen in the generation capacity of India over the last decade. This growth has been led by renewable energy, where India is rapidly becoming recognised as a global leader, having surpassed its ambitious Paris Agreement targets with 38% of generation capacity currently from clean energy. The Indian power market still has huge potential for expansion, with low relative per capita power consumption in the country. Due to years of underinvestment in transmission capacity there is significant demand for investment, and the Indian government has been actively promoting the participation of the private sector in transmission line development through the continued implementation of supportive regulatory reforms.

Sterlite Power is a leading developer of transmission projects with a robust execution record across India and Brazil. It has won a third (by tariff) of all inter-state private transmission projects awarded in India under competitive bidding since 2011, and has successfully established its unique asset flip business model across both markets. Sterlite Power has completed and sold nine transmission assets to date in India.

Sharat Goyal, Head of India, Infrastructure Equity at AMP Capital said: “AMP Capital and Sterlite Power believe that this is a unique partnership bringing together operational and investment expertise to support the hitherto under-invested construction phase of power infrastructure in India. Our investment will create a pool of valuable transmission assets, with long-term contractual arrangements and a robust payment security framework, which are extremely attractive to yield-seeking investors. 

“India is a key target market for AMP Capital and we have dedicated time and resource to finding a compelling investment opportunity suited to our clients. This investment capitalises on the opportunity presented by the Indian infrastructure sector at this time, as well as benefitting from policy initiatives like Infrastructure Investment Trusts (INVITs) which have created transparent, market-driven exit opportunities for investors willing to invest capital in the development of greenfield infrastructure projects in India.”

Commenting on the transaction, Anuraag Srivastava, CFO Sterlite Power said “We are delighted to enter into a partnership with AMP Capital – a leading global infrastructure private equity firm. This investment is another testimony of continued trust reposed on us by the investor community.”

Pratik Agarwal, Managing Director, Sterlite Power said: “We are driven by our core purpose to enable access to reliable power while minimizing the impact on climate change. The world is undergoing a clean-energy revolution and India is leading this effort with its mammoth target of 450GW by the year 2030. Sterlite Power will contribute towards this noble cause by creating the required transmission infrastructure so that green energy can reach the most underserved households. We are happy to have like-minded partners like AMP Capital who believe in our core purpose and in our model of sustainable development.”

AMP Capital was advised by Citigroup (financial), PwC (commercial and tax) and AZB (legal). Sterlite was advised by Moelis & Company and Credit Suisse (financial), Khaitan & Co (legal), and EY (tax).

(सोनाली निकम) को पूरे अधिकार के साथ अपनी पत्नी के रूप में स्वीकार करता है और उसके बाद भगवान के मार्गदर्शन के साथ येशु (विवान शाह)का जन्म होता है। जहां एक ओर, नवविवाहित जोड़ी के लिए ये खुशियों के पल हैं, तो वही दूसरी तरफ राजा हेरोड (दर्पण श्रीवास्तव) इससे काफी क्रोधित है। अक्सर उसे गांव के लोगो पर अत्याचार करते हुए देखा जाता है और उस जैसा शैतानी राजा और रूढ़िवादी शासक गांव वालो ने इससे पहले कभी नहीं देखा है। येशु के आने से अपने शासनकाल पर खतरा मंडराते हुए देखकर, वह गांव के सभी नवजात बच्चों को मारने का आदेश देता है। हालांकि, येशु और उसका परिवार वहां से भागने में सफल होते हैं और वो एक गांव में शरण लेते हैं। शैतान (अंकित अरोड़ा) राजा हेरोड को इस बात की जानकारी देता है कि उनका दुश्मन अभी भी जिंदा है। अब राजा हेरोड क्या करेगा? इस एपिसोड के बारे में बात करते हुए मेरी (सोनाली निकम) ने कहा, श्येशु का जन्म पूरे परिवार में खुशियां लेकर आता है, लेकिन मेरी के लिए ये पल सबसे खास होते हैं क्योंकि वह पहली बार अपने बेटे को गोद में लेती है। मां और उसके बेटे के बीच तुरंत ही एक खुबसूरत बॉन्ड बन जाता है क्योंकि वह उसे देखकर एक प्यारी सी स्माइल देता है। इसके अलावा, एक तरफ जहां मेरी और जोसफ खुश हैं, तो वही समान रूप से इस बात को लेकर चिंतित भी होते हैं कि उनके नवजात बेटे येशु पर लगातार राजा हेरोड का खतरा मंडरा रहा है और वह येशु को हानि पहंुचाना चाहता है। येशु को बचाने के लिए कोई कसर नहीं छोड़ते हुए, जोसफ और उसका परिवार येशु के साथ गांव छोड़ देता है और वो एक नई जगह पर जाकर रहने लगते हैं और एक नई जिंदगी की शुरुआत करते हैं। हालांकि अब ये कोई रहस्य नहीं रहा है क्योंकि राजा हेरोड को वहां का पता लग जाता है जहां वो रहते हैं। आगामी एपिसोड्स में यह देखने लायक होगा कि क्या वो येशु को ढूंढने में कामयाब होगा।श्

 

‘येशु‘ विशेष रूप से एक परोपकारी बच्चे की कहानी है जो सिर्फ अच्छाई करना चाहता है और अपने आस-पास खुशियां फैलाता है। सभी के लिए उसका प्यार और करुणा उन बुरी, शैतानी शक्तियों के लिये बिल्कुल विपरीत हैं, जो उनके जन्म और बचपन के दौरान मौजूद थीं। अपनेे परिवार और समाज पर होने वाले अत्याचारों ने उन्हें काफी प्रभावित किया। दूसरों की मदद करने और उनके दर्द को कम करने की कोशिश अक्सर उन्हें उस राह पर ले जाती थी जहां वह निश्चित रूप से आहत होते थे और न सिर्फ उत्पीड़कों बल्कि बड़ी संख्या में दूसरे लोगों द्वारा भी उनकी निंदा की जाती थी। लेकिन आखिरकार ये चीजें भी उन्हें उनके रास्ते पर चलने से नहीं रोक पाईं। येशु की कहानी अच्छाई बनाम बुराई के बीच की सिर्फ एक आदर्श कहानी ही नहीं है, बल्कि यह येशु और उनकी समर्थक एवं मार्गदर्शक बनीं उनकी मां के बीच के खूबसूरत रिश्ते को भी दर्शाता

 ~The two-day doctoral workshop conducted by Great Lakes Institute of Management and North American Society for Marketing Education in India (NASMEI) focused on ‘Consumer Behaviour’ in the post COVID-19 era’ ~ 

23rd December 2020, Chennai: The Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai hosted their 14th NASMEI International marketing conference in collaboration with the North American Society of for Marketing Education in India (NASMEI). The virtual conference was prelude by a 3-day workshop providing great opportunity for the doctoral students and junior faculty to interact and learn from some of the top researchers in the world.  

The premier annual conference held at Great Lakes Institute of management was organized by the Kotler-Srinivasan Center for Research in Marketing. The session was inaugurated by

Dr. Suresh Ramanathan, Dean, Great Lakes Institute of management, followed by the welcome address by Prof. Bala V Balachandran, Founder, Chairman of the board and Dean Emeritus, Great Lakes Institute of Management. 

The keynote address was delivered by Dr. Seenu Srinivasan, Adams Distinguished Professor of Management, Emeritus, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University, USA. Speaking on the occasion he said, “I started this conference back in 2007, with the encouragement of Prof. Bala, for the purpose of bringing Indian researchers together with researchers from all over the world, so we can learn from each other. At the time I was a board member at NASMEI, and it was a great opportunity to connect NASMEI to Great Lakes. Since then, it has been ably and efficiently run under the stewardship of Prof. Bharadhwaj and Prof. Sridhar Samu.” While presenting his paper ‘Comparison of Maxdiff and ASEMAP for the measurement of individual-level attribute importance’ he said, “The traditional method of assessing attribute importance through a ranking system does not work very well. This is because, given a list of attributes to rank, people tend to say everything is important. Which is why methods like MaxDiff and ASEMAP should strongly be considered for commercial market research.”

The 5-day long event included workshop conducted by the pioneers in business management and consumer behaviours such as Professor Shailendra Pratap Jain (University of Washington), Professor Aparna Labroo (Northwestern University), Professors Lauren Block (Baruch College), Simon Botti (London Business School), Angela Lee (Northwestern University), L J Shrum (HEC, Paris), and Andrew Stephen (Oxford University).
