Celebrating Fatherhood!

                                                         Celebrating Fatherhood!

 

Father's Day is a special occasion dedicated to honoring the important men in our lives. It is a time for children to express their appreciation for their fathers and acknowledge the sacrifices they make on their behalf. On International Father's Day, &TV actors reflect on their cherished memories of past celebrations and the special gifts they have received from their children. These include actors such as Mohit Dagga (Ashok, Doosri Maa), Yogesh Tripathi (Daroga Happu Singh, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), and Rohitashv Gour (Manmohan Tiwari, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai). Mohit Dagga, aka Ashok from Doosri Maa, shares, "My daughter, Ashwika, is the greatest blessing and most precious gift in my life. She always surprises me on special days, but Father's Day is something I eagerly anticipate. It is my day, after all (laughs). Every little thing she does makes me feel incredibly happy. Last year, I remember her and her mother making a delicious chocolate cake for me on this day. The cake was beautifully decorated with the word 'Superdad,' and it brightened my day. It was the tastiest cake I have ever had, and everyone in our family enjoyed it. We spent the rest of the day together, having a great time playing and eating. Since becoming a father, I have realised the immense sacrifices our fathers make for us. They are the true heroes in everyone's life. Fatherhood has been both an amazing gift and a challenging responsibility for me. Here is to all the incredible fathers out there!”

 

Yogesh Tripathi, aka Daroga Happu Singh from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, shares, "My two children mean the world to me, and their presence brings joy to my life. My oldest son, Dakshesh, is a creative soul who enjoys drawing and painting. A few years ago, he surprised me with a handmade greeting card on Father's Day. Inside, there was a beautiful message filled with love and warmth. He had drawn a picture of me, his mother, and himself, which was incredibly heartwarming. He tried to show affection through that card, which touched my heart. I consider the card to be priceless, and I keep it safe. Whenever I miss my father, I read Dakshesh's message: "You're the best Dad. You love me so much. I feel lucky to have such wonderful children, and I hope they continue to surprise me with their love and affection.” Rohitashv Gour, aka Manmohan Tiwari from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, shares, "Daughters have a unique understanding of you. I am fortunate to have two wonderful daughters who care for and love me like no one else can. Growing up, they made every Father's Day special; their efforts always touched my heart. But there's one gift they gave me that I will never forget. They planned a relaxing day for me on Father's Day. Knowing my busy shooting and travel schedule, they felt I needed relaxation. They arranged a spa treatment for me, followed by a peaceful walk on the beach. It was refreshing, and I was pleasantly surprised by their thoughtful gift. To make it even more memorable, we took a photo at the beach, which I framed and now have on my wall. My daughters bring me immense pride and happiness, and I hope this Father's Day will be as memorable as that.”

 

Tune in to Doosri Maa at 8:00 pm, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan at 10:00 pm, and Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai at 10:30 pm, airing every Monday to Friday only on &TV!

याविषयी फेस्टिव्हलच्या संचालक अनुपमा चोप्रा म्हणाल्या, ‘प्रवेशिका पाठवण्याचे आवाहन केल्यापासून फक्त १५ दिवसांत इतक्या प्रवेशिका येणे उत्साहवर्धक आहे. खरे स्टार्स असलेल्या लोकांच्या सहभागामुळेच हा फेस्टिव्हल आणखी खास ठरतो. भारतातील सिनेप्रेमी उत्सुकतेनं या फेस्टिव्हलची वाट पाहात असतात. आम्ही सिनेमा क्षेत्रातील नवे आणि धाडसी प्रवाह, सांस्कृतिक बारकावे, वैविध्यपूर्ण कथाकथन आणि प्रतिनिधीत्व यांना महत्त्व देतो. दक्षिण आशिया, दक्षिण आशियाई समाज आणि आंतरराष्ट्रीय दिग्दर्शकांचे सिनेमे दाखल करून घेण्यासाठी उत्सुक आहोत. आम्ही कायमच स्वतंत्र सिनेमे व दिग्दर्शकांना आपले काम सादर करण्यासाठी व्यासपीठ पुरवले आहे. त्यांना इतरांबरोबर नेटवर्किंग करत सिनेमाबरोबर प्रवास करण्यासाठी मदत केली आहे. सर्व प्रकारचे सिनेमे आणि दिग्दर्शकांचे आम्ही स्वागत करतो. सिनेमा विश्वातील नवे, वेगळे विचार जाणून घेण्यासाठी आम्ही उत्सुक आहोत.’

जिओ मामी मुंबई फेस्टिवलने दक्षिण आशियावर लक्ष केंद्रित केल्याने फेस्टिवल तसेच कलाकार- तंत्रज्ञांसाठी नवे विश्व खुले होणार आहे. फेस्टिवलमध्ये सहभागी होत असलेल्या दिग्दर्शकांना त्यांच्या कामाच्या सर्वोत्तम पद्धतींची माहिती देण्याची, कार्यशाळांमध्ये उपस्थित राहाण्याची, सिनेमा निर्मितीच्या प्रक्रियेबाबत नव्या कल्पनांची देवाणघेवाण करण्याची संधी मिळेल. यानिमित्ताने त्यांना सर्व सीमा पार करून खऱ्या अर्थाने आंतरराष्ट्रीय पातळीवर उतरता येईल. सिनेमा माध्यमाप्रती वेगळा आणि कल्पक दृष्टीकोन मांडण्यासाठी बांधील असलेले जिओ मामी मुंबई फेस्टिवल सिनेमा क्षेत्रातल्या पारंपरिकतेला आव्हान देणाऱ्या, नवी समीकरणे प्रस्थापित करणाऱ्या दिग्दर्शकांना व्यासपीठ मिळवून देते.

दक्षिण आशियावर लक्ष केंद्रित करण्याविषयी जिओ मामी मुंबई फेस्टिवलच्या आर्टिस्टिक डिरेक्टर दीप्ती डीकुन्हा म्हणाल्या, ‘यावर्षी आम्ही फेस्टिवलचा विस्तार करण्याचे ठरवले आहे. भारतीय सिनेमे व दिग्दर्शकांबरोबरच दक्षिण आशियाई गुणवत्ता शोधण्यावर भर दिला जाणार आहे. दक्षिण आशिया आणि दक्षिण आशियाई दिग्दर्शक खूप चांगले काम करत आहेत. एक फेस्टिवल म्हणून त्यांचे सिनेमे मुंबईतील प्रेक्षकांपर्यंत पोहोचवणं हा आमचा सन्मान आहे. जिओ मामीने नवीन दक्षिण आशियाई गुणवत्ता शोधण्याचे, त्यांचा विकास करण्याचे व स्वतंत्र सिनेमा निर्मितीला पाठिंबा देण्याचे ठरवले आहे. या फेस्टिवलमध्ये प्रस्थापित सिने कलाकारांच्या गुणवत्तेची दखल घेतली जाते. त्यामुळे तुम्ही अनुभवी दिग्दर्शक असाल किंवा नवीन सुरुवात करत असाल, तुमचे काम दाखल करण्यासाठी आम्ही प्रोत्साहन देत आहोत. दिग्दर्शकांना फेस्टिवलमध्ये असामान्य अनुभव देण्यासाठी तसंच त्यांना प्रेक्षकांपर्यंत पोहोचवण्यासाठी आम्ही सज्ज आहोत. दक्षिण आशियाई दिग्दर्शकांना समकालीन सहकाऱ्यांबरोबर नाते जोडण्यासाठी व पर्यायाने कम्युनिटी तयार करण्यासाठीही मदत केली जाणार आहे.’

सिनेमे दाखल करण्यासाठीची मुदत ३० जून २०२३ पर्यंत वाढवण्यात आली आहे. जिओ मुंबई फिल्म फेस्टिवल दिग्दर्शकांना त्यांचे सिनेमे दाखवण्यासाठी, इतर दिग्दर्शकांबरोबर चर्चा करण्यासाठी व जागतिक पातळीवर नेटवर्क तयार करण्यासाठी मुबलक संधी देण्याचे आश्वासन देत आहे. दक्षिण आशियाई सिनेमा दाखवण्यासाठी सर्वात विश्वासार्ह भागीदार बनण्यसाठी आम्ही प्रयत्नशील आहोत. त्याच प्रयत्नांतून यंदा सर्वोत्तम जागतिक सिनेमे प्रेक्षकांसाठी उपलब्ध करून दिले जातील. तुमचा सिनेमा आजच दाखल करा.

Leena Goenka, known for her appearances in multiple television shows, is slated to join &TV’s cult comedy, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai. She will portray the character Dimple who will cause a significant upheaval in Vibhuti’s (Aasif Sheikh) life. Revealing details about her character ‘Dimple’ in the show, Leena comments, “In my role as Dimple, a mischievous girl, I arrive in Modern Colony to make Vibhuti's Chacha ji (Annup Upadhyay) fall for me. However, unexpectedly, I find myself falling in love with Vibhuti instead. As the plot goes on, David Chacha starts behaving like an Urdu philosopher, causing worry among everyone. To help Chacha Ji return to his true self, Prem (Vishwajeet Soni) suggests Vibhuti introduce a woman into Chacha Ji’s life who will flirt with him. Unfortunately, their plan does not unfold as expected. Later, Anita (Vidisha Srivastava) advises Vibhuti to have an affair with Dimple to make Chacha ji jealous and elicit a reaction.

It is beyond my wildest dreams to now find myself as a cast member on this incredible show, sharing the screen with the talented Aasif Sheikh Ji. He is one of the most down-to-earth actors I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I was initially nervous about performing scenes with him, considering he is someone I grew up watching and one of the very reputed senior artist. But he quickly put me at ease and supported me throughout. The entire team, alongside Aasif Ji, is incredibly friendly and supportive. It is no surprise that the show is everyone’s favourite, as the comedic timing of each actor, both on and off-screen, is impeccable. There is never a dull moment on set but pure fun and joy. Everyone is so warm and friendly and always laughing and cracking jokes.
