 &TV’s Doosri Maa completes 100 episodes!

 

It is celebration time for &TV’s Doosri Maa as the show completes 100 episodes! Launched in September 2022, the show narrates the story of a woman living in Uttar Pradesh with her husband, two daughters, and in-laws whose happy, peaceful family life comes to a screeching halt when she and her husband unknowingly end up adopting his illegitimate child. In a short time, the show has become the audience’s favourite family drama on television. The star cast of the show Neha Joshi (Yashoda), Aayudh Bhanushali (Krishna), and Mohit Dagga (Ashok), among others, shared their excitement about achieving the 100-episode milestone. Neha Joshi essaying Yashoda, shares, “I can't believe the show has already reached the 100-episode mark.

 

My journey with Doosri Maa has been special. I was nervous and excited at the same time when this opportunity came to me. I was getting married because I had to relocate to Jaipur the same week. But I decided to play Yashoda because of my husband’s support and belief in the show director Imtiaz Punjabi. With this success, I feel I made the right decision. Achieving this feat would not have been possible without my co-stars and the crew behind the show. They made everything run so well. The show has offered me many opportunities to experience a wide range of emotions as an actor. I am glad we have gotten this far; the audience has shown us so much affection. This accomplishment inspires us to keep entertaining our viewers.”

Aayudh Bhanushali, essaying Krishna says, “Creating such milestones is a team effort, and I am glad to be a part of such an amazing show. Congratulations to the entire cast and crew of Doosri Maa for achieving the 100-episode milestone. It is a proud moment for all of us. Since we all relocated to Jaipur for the shoot and spent considerable time together, we have become quite close. And with every passing day, our bond has grown stronger and fonder. We celebrated this achievement by cutting a cake on the set and clicking countless pictures. I would also like to thank the audience and the channel for their constant support.” Mohit Dagga, essaying Ashok says, “I am feeling happy and blessed to reach this milestone of 100 episodes! I cannot thank the team enough for working hard and making it a successful show. The most valuable thing I received from the show was the viewers' love. Portraying Ashok’s character has been an enriching experience, and I had never imagined it would receive such a great response. We will continue our path to set new benchmarks and achieve greater success in the days to come.”

Watch Doosri Maa at 8:00 pm, airing every Monday to Friday only on &TV!

Fashion revolution with sarees

This year, the only Indian-American brand on the 2023 runway is the Los Angeles-based One Minute Saree. A direct-to-consumer online saree brand, it will unveil its eclectic collection on a fashion ramp for the first time at IBFW. It is a homecoming for founder Sasha Revankar who is originally from Goa. Rooted in tradition but crafted for the modern woman, these custom-stitched sarees have sparked a fashion revolution for the next generation of Indophiles, helping them drape the fabric immaculately in under a minute.

 

Trauma to trends

Sasha admits that after being a little bit traumatized from the experience of wearing a saree to a wedding while handling two little kids in 2018, she had basically given up on the idea of ever putting one on again. “Even though I spent an hour perfecting my drape, the saree repeatedly came loose throughout the evening,” she confides. She admits it was a bit disheartening because she loves the concept of a saree for the tradition and elegance it represents. “But it was just too complicated, especially for someone living in the States. Where would I even go to buy a petticoat!” she exclaims. Sasha found an answer to her saree woes in the One Minute Sari. It maintains the flow and drape of the garment while staying true to the authenticity of the traditional Nivi Sarees, the Gujarati sarees and the Kanjivaram sarees, with inclusive sizes for all body types, from extra small to extra-large.

 

Avant-garde game-changer

Explaining why IBFW chose to include the line in their destination-wedding-themed fashion show, co-founder Neha Asthana Ojha reasoned, “We have always believed in the power of the young and the bold and have created a niche in the fashion segment since 2015. One Minute Saree is exactly the kind of avant-garde game-changer that will excite fashionistas and claim its rightful space in the millennial market.” The brand will present 14 looks on the runway. On the same day, Prashant Majumdar and House of Nivii by Pankhnivi will helm the COMO Collective. The sundowner will be followed by another riverfront show at 9.30 pm with Gavin Miguel bringing the curtains down. The grand finale, presented by Ikonic, will be followed by an afterparty.

 Hair-raising adventure

One of the highlights of IBFW is a funky hair show presented by Ikonic. “When it comes to fashion, it is a term that goes hand in hand with hair. A great hairstyle always adds that finishing touch of panache to any person’s fashion sense,” points out Ikonic Professional co-founder Rayed Merchant. He elaborates, “Hairdos can not only elevate your persona, they can also spark stylistic confidence inside you. At Ikonic, we firmly believe that hair is to fashion, what creativity is to art. The two are inseparable.”

 Going beyond fashion

Run as both a business-to-business and a business-to-customer event, the India Beach Fashion Week brings together designers and brands, creatives and exhibitors in the beach, resort, and travel destination wear categories. Over two days, they will showcase their latest collections and network to increase brand awareness amongst the general public. However, what sets it apart is that IBFW is designed to go beyond fashion. It promotes Goa as a travel destination, building a large-scale platform for lifestyle tourism around it.

 Tropical Eden along the Mandovi river

The idyllic Divar Island, separate from the mainland, is an enticing getaway as the Island of Love is still largely unexplored. A tropical Eden tucked away along the Mandovi river, it is blissfully quiet and very 8^th-century in the meticulously-restored Portuguese villas with their colonial-style architecture and old-world feel. Divar is home to three scenic villages. Piedade sits at the bottom of a hillock on whose crest is the picturesque Church of Our Lady of Compassion. The second, Malar, was earlier called Sao Matias by its Portuguese residents. The third village, Naroa, was once a popular pilgrimage site, but today has a population of barely a thousand and just about 80 homes. And while the island gives the impression of being cut off, it is just a 15 to 30-minute ferry ride from Old Goa, Naroa and Ribander.

So, Go, Goa, Gone, what are you waiting for? The countdown has begun. Just six days more to go!
