Actors share their first Kite-Flying experience this Makar Sankranti!

 Actors share their first Kite-Flying experience this Makar Sankranti!

Makar Sankranti, also known as the Kite Festival, is joyously observed throughout India. The festive spirit is marked by flying kites, symbolizing the onset of spring. &TV artists share their memorable first experiences of flying kites during this auspicious occasion. These include Vyom Thakkar (Young Atal, Atal), Geetanjali Mishra (Rajesh Singh, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), and Shubhangi Atre (Angoori Bhabi, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai). Vyom Thakkar, essaying Young Atal in &TV’s show Atal, says, “Being a Gujarati, we refer to Makar Sankranti as Uttrayan, a festival we celebrate with great enthusiasm. Our entire family gathers at our home for this occasion. We begin the festivities with prayers, and then, we all head to the terrace to engage in the traditional activity of flying kites. This has become a cherished tradition for us. I vividly recall my first experience of flying a kite. Initially, I felt a bit nervous amidst the multitude of kites soaring in the sky, and I wasn't even familiar with handling the manjha (kite string). That's when my father stepped in as a hero, guiding me on the art of carefully lengthening the string. He taught me to hold one part in one hand and bring the other hand a little further down to brace the kite once it goes up in the air. Despite numerous failures in the initial attempts, I didn’t give up. I repeated the entire process with the hope of success. Slowly but steadily, my kite began to ascend, with both me and my father skillfully holding the string. The joy of seeing my kite flying high in the sky was immensely gratifying. Over the years, I have honed my kite-flying skills to the point where I can confidently declare myself a pro. Now, it has become quite a challenge for anyone to outdo me in this traditional and thrilling festival activity.”

Geetanjali Mishra, aka Rajesh Singh from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, shares, “In Uttar Pradesh, kite flying is not just a seasonal activity reserved for Makar Sankranti; it's a year-round passion. The vibrant hues of kites paint the sky throughout the year. As a kid, I dedicated endless hours to this exhilarating pastime on terraces. Anticipation builds up two weeks before Makar Sankranti, prompting my friends and me to embark on a kite-buying spree. Armed with bulk purchases, we would go to our terraces, transforming them into lively arenas for aerial battles. The thrill of cutting opponents' kites and engaging in spirited chases from one terrace to another became the essence of our days. Among these joyous escapades, one incident remains etched in my memory. During a spirited pursuit of a soaring kite, I took a tumble that resulted in minor injuries. Determined to keep it a secret from my mother, I hid the mishap. However, mothers possess an uncanny intuition, and mine soon discovered the truth. The revelation triggered disappointment and concern in my entire family, a testament to the inherent risks associated with our beloved pastime. In my hometown, remnants of those spirited kite-flying days still linger in the form of mementoes – a collection of kites that serve as nostalgic artefacts, preserving the essence of a cherished childhood activity. The laughter, the camaraderie, and the occasional mishaps are all woven into the fabric of these kites, symbolizing not just a seasonal festivity but a year-round love affair with the skies.” Shubhangi Atre, aka Angoori Bhabi from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, shares, “My encounter with kite flying remains etched in my memory as an unforgettable experience. It granted me the chance to relish the excitement of manoeuvring a kite through the sky. The initial foray into kite flying was marked by a surge of enthusiasm and eager anticipation. The vibrant and enchanting kites dotting the sky captivated my attention, intensifying my eagerness to launch my own. Witnessing the myriad kites soaring above, I couldn't wait to join the ranks. The moment finally arrived when I propelled my kite into the sky, and with each passing second, it ascended to greater heights. The sheer exhilaration of seeing my kite glide through the air was beyond description, filling me with immense joy. A delightful memory from that day includes a playful squabble with my sisters over our respective kite-flying prowess. They couldn't help but express a hint of jealousy as my first attempt proved successful, prompting them to redouble their efforts amidst laughter. The entire experience was wonderful, and the festive ambience of Makar Sankranti continues to evoke a profound sense of happiness in my heart. I extend my warm wishes to everyone for a Happy Makar Sankranti!”

This momentous event is a testament to the Government's commitment to driving innovation, economic growth, and technological advancement.

Bharat Ratnam Mega CFC is a Socio-economic project promoted by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, GJEPC India and SEEPZ SEZ authority to drive exports from the country.

This project aims at creating a world-class infrastructure for promoting the inherent skills of the gems & jewellery manufacturing industry. The Mega Common Facilitation Centre provides a supportive and collaborative environment for entrepreneurs, MSMEs and small businesses to grow and thrive.

Bharat Ratnam CFC will house the cutting-edge equipment, including a 3D Metal printer. It will also provide training and skilling for artisans, including specially abled students. The Mega CFC will transform the export sector in the gem and jewellery trade and will also help the domestic manufacturing.

Vipul Shah, Chairman, GJEPC, said, “Salute to the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for steering a remarkable era of development across all sectors. His visionary strides towards shaping a Viksit Bharat are not only evident in ground breaking policy reforms, but also in the development of infrastructure that promises to redefine the business landscape.

On behalf of the Indian gem and jewellery community, I extend heartfelt thanks to the Prime Minister for his forward-thinking approach. The government's steadfast support, exemplified by the establishment of the Mega CFC Bharat Ratnam in SEEPZ, Mumbai, lays a robust foundation for the industry's future growth. Mega CFC is integral to the industry's plan to double the SEZ export target from $7 billion to $15 billion, unlocking the untapped potential of around $30 billion. 

“The Bharat Ratnam Mega CFC was conceptualised by GJEPC. The feasibility study and project report was done through National Productivity Council by GJEPC. The Project report was adopted by MoC and funded through SEEPZ. The implementation of the project was done under a Mega CFC Committee nominated by GJEPC along with SEEPZ Authority. GJEPC has signed an MoU to run and operate the Bharat Ratnam Mega CFC.”

The Mega CFC shines as a symbol of innovation, featuring cutting-edge technologies certified for carbon neutrality. It houses a dedicated Research & Development Centre, a Training & Skilling School for inclusive education, and versatile facilities for exhibitions and events.

This essential renovation and upgrade were timely necessities which will further boost gem and jewellery exports from our country. And the best part is Mega CFC facilities will be made available at a reasonable rate not only to SEEPZ-SEZ units but also to factories outside the zone which will improve the output in terms of quality, productivity and yield of the finished jewellery.”

C. P. S. Chauhan. IRS, Joint Development Commissioner, SEEPZ-SEZ, said, “After the Bhoomi Poojan on September 1st, 2022, the construction of the Mega CFC was completed within an astonishing 14-month period!

I firmly believe this marks just the beginning, and we can anticipate more such transformative projects supported by the government to reshape the landscape of SEEPZ.”

Kirit Bhansali, Vice Chairman, GJEPC, stated, “We are honoured and thrilled to witness the momentous occasion of the Honourable Prime Minister laying the foundation stone for NEST 1 and Bharat Ratnam at SEEPZ SEZ. The Gem & Jewellery sector comprises a maximum of MSMEs (Jewellery manufacturers and retailers) who have affordability constraints for the modern technology, research & development and skilled manpower. Mega CFC bridges this gap to maintain the competitiveness through the latest in 3-Ts (Technology, Techniques and Training) from across the globe at a single facilitation centre.”

Kyunki... Saas Maa Beti Bahu Hoti Hai Sonal Singh Stuns in new PICS.

        Kyunki... Saas Maa Beti Bahu Hoti Hai actress Sonal Singh sheds her traditional look; Stuns in new PICS.

Zee TV's Kyunki... Saas Maa Beti Bahu Hoti Hai recently completed 100 episodes. The show has been receiving a tremendous response ever since its premiere in September. The stars of the show too have received equal love and appreciation from the audience. 

Actress Sonal Singh who features in the show as Bhakti has amassed a sizeable following with her portrayal. But did you know she looks nothing like her onscreen avatar in real life? These stunning pictures will stun you and make you realise how adeptly Sonal has seamlessly transformed into Bhakti for the reel. From a modern girl next door to a typical traditional housewife, Sonal's transformation from real to reel is truly commendable.

Opening up about her reel vs real style statement, Sonal Singh said, "When I was first offered the role, more than the character, what excited me was the look and feel. Since childhood, I have watched TV shows where women of the house wore appealing traditional attires, especially sarees, even on regular days. The vibrant colors and eccentric designs left me mesmerized. Not even in my farthest dreams, I thought I'll get a chance to embrace such an attire, but I'm grateful to be a part of the show and play the role of Bhakti, a sweet, innocent and supportive person."

She added, "Bhakti and Sonal might have some similarities in way of life, but their style statement is completely different. Personally Sonal is someone who likes to keep it minimal comfy yet trendy. However, I'm happy to play Bhakti and carry her style with confidence."

Kyunki... Saas Maa Beti Bahu Hoti Hai also streams on Zee TV. Produced by Guroudev Bhalla under Guroudev Bhalla Screens, it also stars Manasi Joshi Roy, Navika Kotia, Himanshu Soni and Lakshya Khurana. The story touches upon protagonist Ambika’s (Manasi Joshi Roy) endeavour of disproving a general notion that ‘Saas kabhi maa, aur bahu kabhi beti nahi ban sakti’ through a landmark decision of adopting a girl child Kesar (Navika Kotia) and raising her as a bahu and not beti, who will keep the family together after growing up.

 Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon’s dance number Laal Peeli Akhiyaan from Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya is all set to dominate the party scene.

Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon set the stage on fire in this groovy track - Laal Peeli Akhiyaan from their next - Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. Marking Shahid's triumphant return to the dance floor after nearly a decade, the song also portrays the fresh chemistry between Shahid and Kriti. As the teaser dropped, the anticipation among fans, especially the girls, reached its peak.

Choreographer Shaik Jani Basha's magic brings the song to life, complementing the vibrant beats by Tanishk Bagchi, known for multiple chartbusters. Sung by Romy and Tanishk, with lyrics by Neeraj Rajawat, the song is a perfect blend of rhythm and lyrics. Tanishk Bagchi, the music composer and singer, expresses his excitement, stating, “Laal Peeli Akhiyaan is an absolute banger! Its beats will make you hit the dance floor instantly. Shahid’s infectious energy is definitely the highlight of the song... can’t wait to see people groove to this one!” Directed by Amit Joshi & Aradhana Sah, A Maddock Film's production - Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya is produced by Dinesh Vijan, Jyoti Deshpande & Laxmax Utekar.
