TV actors tackle winters in style with these fashionable tricks!

TV actors tackle winters in style with these fashionable tricks!

 

As the winter's cold weather arrives, fashion transforms and merges warmth with style. Artists from &TV, known for their on-screen charm, embark on a fashion journey to revamp their wardrobes without sacrificing style. Embracing the change in weather, actors share their best-kept secrets and unique winter fashion styles to inspire and guide fashion enthusiasts seeking trendy yet cosy outfits for the winter. These include Rahul Jethwa (Avadh Bihari Vajpayee, Atal), Geetanjali Mishra (Rajesh, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), and Vidisha Srivastava (Anita Bhabi, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai). Rahul Jethwa, essaying Avadh Bihari Vajpayee in &TV’s show Atal, says, “Winter is the season I find most inspiring for experimenting with my style. I opt for a loose-fitting light blue denim jacket, or a grey hood layered over a printed white t-shirt. Pair it with ankle-length light blue jeans and sleek black high-heeled boots. Another favourite winter look of mine involves donning turtleneck t-shirts matched with slim-fit pants and formal shoes, which always make me feel sophisticated. Recently, my mother surprised me with a stylish grey cashmere crewneck sweater. I was amazed that she didn't buy it for me. She had crafted it by hand, especially for me. This cardigan sweater fits perfectly on my shoulders and is incredibly versatile. It effortlessly complements any plain t-shirt, button-down shirt, blazer, or jeans. I often accessorize it with a checkered print scarf to add a touch of flair to my outfit.”

Geetanjali Mishra, aka Rajesh from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, shares, “I have recently observed a significant fall in nighttime temperatures, prompting me to switch my wardrobe for the upcoming months. Throughout the day, I opt for lightweight cotton Kurtis. However, as the sun sets, I embrace my recently purchased woollen jacket from Lucknow's renowned Aminabad market. Additionally, I have begun incorporating thermal wear beneath my usual attire to add warmth. To diversify my look, I include a range of vibrant shawls, each uniquely crafted with affection and attention to detail. These shawls draw inspiration from the diverse colours and cultures across various Indian states. I sometimes use them in my character look, which compliments Rajesh’s outfits perfectly while keeping me warm and stylish. I wish everyone a delightful winter season!” Vidisha Srivastava, aka Anita Bhabi from Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai, shares, “I hail from Varanasi, where the winters offer a pleasant atmosphere. During this season, the weather fluctuates from comfortably mild to occasionally quite chilly. During winters, my mother used to fill our wardrobes with an assortment of jackets, overcoats, skull caps, mittens, mufflers, scarves, and thermal wear. Over time, she skillfully knitted numerous exquisite mittens, sweaters, and mufflers for us, items we wore with immense joy and pride. Some of these cherished knits still reside in my closet, eagerly waiting for my daughter Aadya to adorn them. Layering clothing becomes essential to stay warm in such conditions. I love Mumbai winters as it offers pleasant weather and not extreme cold. Therefore, I tend to opt for monochromatic ensembles or add a simple scarf to my daily outfits during winter to keep myself warm and look stylish at the same time.”

Watch your favourite artists in Atal 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!

&TV | Lights, camera, resolutions: Celebs share New Year resolutions! - December 2023

 &TV | Lights, camera, resolutions: Celebs share New Year resolutions! - December 2023

Naya saal, naye sangharsh!

 

New Year will bring with it the biggest dose of entertainment on &TV. Here we reveal the intriguing details of what awaits viewers in &TV's 'Atal', 'Happu Ki Ultan', and 'Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain'. These popular shows promise exciting new developments and surprises for fans to look forward to. About &TV’s Atal track, Krishna Devi Vajpayee shares, “Krishan Bihari Vajpayee (Ashutosh Kulkarni) and Krishna Devi Vajpayee (Neha Joshi) inspire Atal (Vyom Thakkar) to embrace Sanskriti fully and stay away from mixing different ideologies. On his way to school with his father, Atal encounters a group of Krantikaris protesting the British Government again. This time, instead of reacting, Atal decides to strike a balance, saying, ‘Santulan se kaam lunga’. Krishan Bihari is happy to see this transformation in Atal. However, upon reaching school, Krishan Bihari discovers that Atal has been transferred from English to Hindi medium class by Stephen (Raymond) without any prior notice. While Krishan Bihari is upset by this unexpected change, Atal sees it as a challenge to excel as a diligent student even in the Hindi medium. Later, upon returning home, father informs the family about Atal's sudden transfer. Despite Krishna Devi's efforts to calm Krishan Bihari, he remains upset.”

About &TV’s Happu Ki Ultan Paltan track, Daroga Happu Singh shares, “Children request Happu Singh (Yogesh Tripathi) to attend a New Year's party. He tactfully diverts their enthusiasm towards a home celebration, and everyone agrees. Preparations for the celebration at home begin, but a twist arises when Beni (Vishwanath Chatterjee) shows Happu passes to a New Year's party featuring a Russian dancer. Excited, Happu and Beni attend the event, leaving the family upset. The following day, photographs from the party surface in the newspaper, much to Happu and Beni's dismay. Their attempts to conceal the news from the family are thwarted by Gabbar (Saheb Das Manikpuri), who shows the news to Rajesh (Geetanjali Mishra) and Katori Amma (Himani Shivpuri). Katori Amma punishes Happu by decreeing that he cannot refuse anyone's request for the next two weeks. Everyone takes advantage of this opportunity and bombards Happu with their demands. Hritik (Aryan Prajapati), Chamchi (Zaara Warsi), and Ranbir (Somya Azad) seek Happu's intervention with their Master (played by Vijay Kumar Singh), who threatened to fail them in exams. Meanwhile, a rift emerges between Katori Amma and Rajesh, culminating in Rajesh demanding that Amma be sent to her brother's house, while Amma insists that Rajesh be sent to her parental home (mayka).” About &TV’s Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain track, Manmohan Tiwari shares, “During a jog, Tiwari (Rohitashv Gour) and Anita (Vidisha Srivastava) are too engrossed in their phones to notice their surroundings. Tiwari gets distracted and falls into a gutter, but Anita remains unaware, still absorbed in her phone. Meanwhile, Vibhuti (Aasif Sheikh) downloads an app and clicks photos of Angoori (Shubhangi Atre). At the tea stall, Tika (Vaibhav Mathur), Tillu (Salim Zaidi), and others sit together but communicate only through a group chat. Later, at the New Year party in Modern Colony, everyone remains absorbed in their phones, even amidst the celebrations. This annoys Saxena (Saanand Verma) and he scolds them. Realising their mistake, everyone sets their phones aside. Saxena urges them to pledge to refrain from using their phones for the upcoming days and takes their devices. The absence of a phone causes chaos when Anita misses a meeting notification, resulting in a loss of five lakhs. Similarly, without communication, people become frustrated and even assault the Doctor (Jeetu Gupta) when he attempts home visits to check on patients.”

Hon. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, GJEPC Chairman Shri Vipul Shah among Year 2023’s most powerful/influential people in the global diamond trade

 Hon. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, GJEPC Chairman Shri Vipul Shah among Year 2023’s most powerful/influential people in the global diamond trade

Among 2023’s most powerful/Influential people in the global diamond trade

National, 30^th December 2023: The world’s most influential and most read diamond-focussed publication ‘Rapaport’ named Hon. Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi among the movers and shakers of the global diamond industry in the year 2023. Other members including Vipul Shah, Chairman, The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC); Gina Drosos, CEO, Signet Jewelers; Feriel Zerouki, president, World Diamond Council (WDC); Mokgweetsi Masisi, president, Botswana; Gabi Tolkowsky, Belgian diamond cutter;   were at the forefront hailed by Rapaport the most powerful/ influential people in the world to shape the future of the diamond industry.

 

Our “People of the Year” reflect the realities of 2023, said Rapaport in its foreword. Some of these individuals were directly involved in solving the industry’s acute problems — facilitating India’s freeze on rough imports, for example, or identifying ways to adapt retail strategy to the situation. As with the famous Time Person of the Year, inclusion in this list is not necessarily a recognition of an individual’s positive contribution, but rather of his or her influence on the diamond industry and/or presence in the headlines. We have chosen to spread the honors among several figures rather than picking a single person of the year,

 

Mr. Vipul Shah said, “India’s leadership and significance in the global diamond trade continues even in 2023. We are proud of the millions of workers connected to India’s gem & jewellery. We are proud and privileged that our Government with the Hon. Prime Minister support us to keep the sparkle intact.”

 

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi had a number of contact points with the jewelry industry in 2023, says Rapaport. He inaugurated the Surat Diamond Bourse in December. He also raised a few eyebrows by referring to lab-grown diamonds as “green diamonds”, said Rapaport.

 

Rapaport lauded the efforts and initiatives undertaken by Shri Vipul Shah amidst headwinds faced by the indigenous industry. The GJEPC holds a monthly online forum with representatives of the industry to discuss trends and concerns, said Rapaport. In September of this year, with polished prices tumbling amid weak retail sales and an oversupply, the Indian trade body decided the situation warranted a broader, physical gathering. The attendees came to a unanimous conclusion: India needed a voluntary pause in rough-diamond imports to stop inventories from getting out of control. The industry implemented this freeze for two months, from October 15 to December 15, taking the pressure off the sector and enabling the market to stabilize.

 

Insiders at the GJEPC say it was an industry-wide call for an import moratorium and that the country has made similar moves in past crises.
