Fitday, a leading nutraceutical startup in India, is thrilled to announce a strategic investment from superstar Mahesh Babu’s firm, GMB Entertainment. This marks a significant milestone in Fitday’s mission to revolutionize the nutrition and healthy snacking industry.

 

With a presence in over 10,000 stores, Fitday has established a strong foundation in the retail market.

Mahesh Babu’s involvement brings increased credibility and visibility to Fitday, attracting a wider audience and driving potential growth in a competitive market.

 

His personal dedication to health and fitness has influenced this investment, reflecting his values and commitment to the brand's mission.

It is set to become a ₹ 2.5 lakh crore market opportunity by 2026. This growth is supported by rising health awareness, increasing disposable incomes, and favorable government policies.

Their commitment to innovation and quality deeply resonates with my values. I believe their new product line will set industry standards.

A Timeless Symphony Celebrating Tradition, Culture and Love for Motherland

The legendary Gurdas Maan, a name synonymous with the very soul of Punjabi music, has once again graced the world with his latest masterpiece, "Sound of Soil”. Music by Jatinder Shah, presented by Sai Productions and Speed Records, this profound album, comprising nine evocative tracks, is a poignant reflection of his unwavering love for his roots, his culture, and his beloved motherland.

The Musical pioneer who gave new dimensions to Punjabi Folk Music has produced over 42 albums & written over 400 songs. As a legend who has shaped the landscape of Punjabi music for decades, Gurdas Maan remains an unparalleled icon whose voice continues to inspire, uplift, and connect people from all walks of life.

Gurdas Maan has garnered widespread acclaim throughout his illustrious career, with notable achievements including the Best Actor Jury Award for Des Hoya Pardes in 2004 and the Best Male Playback Singer award in 2006 for Waris Shah: Ishq Daa Waaris, where his soulful rendition of HEER played a pivotal role in shaping the film’s narrative. The film itself made headlines by entering the 79th Academy Awards and earned Gurdas Maan the Best Actor award at the Berlin Asia Pacific Awards. His international acclaim continued in 2009 when he won the Best International Album award for Boot Polishan

The album opens with "Main Hi Jhoothi," a track that delves into introspection, blending haunting melodies with thought-provoking lyrics. This is followed by "Ve Sohneya," a song that resonates with the warmth of love and the beauty of simple, enduring relationships. The album continues with "Laggiyaan Ne Maujaan (Natiya Kalam)," which captures the joy of celebrations, infusing traditional rhythms with contemporary flair. Gurdas Maan’s storytelling prowess shines in "Panchhi Udd Gaye," a song that speaks to the transient nature of life and the inevitable journey of the soul. In "Dekh Laila (Traditional)," he pays homage to age-old traditions, breathing new life into timeless folklore. "Chitey Chitey Danda'n" is a vibrant, rhythmic track that echoes the vibrant energy of Punjabi folk culture, while "Bidesaa'n Nu" touches the hearts of all who have ever felt the pangs of separation from their homeland. The album culminates in two powerful tracks: "Maa Boli," a heartfelt tribute to the mother tongue, and "Tappe," which celebrates the lively, joyous spirit of Punjabi music, inviting listeners to join in the dance of life.

"Each song in this album carries the essence of our traditions and the stories of our people, woven together with love and respect for the soil that nurtured me. I hope these melodies resonate with every listener, reminding us all of the timeless bond we share with our heritage and the beauty of staying true to where we come from” says Gurdas Maan

Music Composer Jatinder Shah further adds ”I have worked with Maan sab for more than 12 years now. I feel privileged to be born in an era where not only I get to listen to his songs but also have the opportunity to work with him" he further adds "Working on 'Sound of Soil' with the legendary Gurdas Maan has been an extraordinary journey. Each song in this album is a masterpiece that reflects his deep connection to our roots and culture. His voice carries the weight of our traditions, the passion of our people, and the love for our motherland. Collaborating with him is not just about making music, it's about creating something timeless, something that will echo through generations”

Actors pay tribute to teachers who still guide their journeys!

 Actors pay tribute to teachers who still guide their journeys!

Artists often attribute their success to the guidance and wisdom of their gurus or teachers, who have played pivotal roles in shaping their careers. For many actors, the bond with their teachers extends beyond the classroom, with regular interactions that continue to inspire and guide them. On this Teacher Day, &TV artists share their deep respect for their teachers and talk about the bond they share now. These include Ashutosh Kulkarni (Krishan Bihari Vajpayee from Atal), Amit Bhardwaj (Mewa from Bheema), Yogesh Tripathi (Happu Singh from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), and Shubhangi Atre (Angoori Bhabhi from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai). Amit Bhardwaj, known as Mewa from Bheema, shares, “My guru, Sri Suresh Kumar Hajju, known for his iconic portrayal of Mahatma Gandhi during Gandhi Jayanti since the 1980s, is a veteran theatre artist and a remarkable actor from Premchand Rangshala in Patna. Despite his stature, he remains incredibly humble, offering guidance to both emerging and established artists. I have been fortunate to learn to act under his mentorship since 2005, and I frequently call him to check on his well-being or seek advice.” Ashutosh Kulkarni, also known as Krishan Bihari Vajpayee from Atal, shares, “I remain in close contact with one of my schoolteachers, Ms Geetanjali Rao, who played a significant role in shaping my journey into the entertainment industry. As my English teacher, she not only helped me develop my language skills but also played a crucial part in my overall personality development. She consistently encouraged me to participate in various competitions and extracurricular activities, believing that there is much more to life than just academics. Her belief in me and her unwavering support were instrumental in building my confidence and ultimately led me to pursue a career in acting. I truly consider her motivation and guidance as the foundation of my success. To this day, I often visit her at the school to seek her blessings and express my gratitude for the profound impact she has had on my life.” 

Yogesh Tripathi, known as Daroga Happu Singh from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, says, “My chemistry teacher, Mr. Hameed Beg, not only helped me master numbers but also taught me the value of precision and dedication. His classes were a masterclass in discipline, and I unknowingly applied those lessons in my acting career. The accuracy and attention to detail he instilled in me are the same qualities I bring to my iconic character, Happu Singh. He showed me that with hard work and enthusiasm, even the toughest problems can be solved. I am proud to say that his influence has not only made me a better actor but also a more confident person. I paid him a surprise visit last year, and he was quite happy to see how much I have grown as an actor. He expressed his contentment that I chose the proper career path. He has had an immeasurable impact on my life, and I will always be appreciative of his constant support and direction. I hope to continue making him proud.” Shubhangi Atre, known as Angoori Bhabhi from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, shares, “My Kathak teacher from Indore has played a pivotal role in not only enhancing my dance skills but also my overall personality. Her passion for Kathak was contagious, and under her guidance, I became not just a trained dancer but also a more confident and positive person. I am honoured that she has displayed my pictures on the wall of her dance academy, a place where countless students, like me, have been nurtured. Her belief in my potential helped me become a trained dancer and positively influenced my journey as an artist. I carry her lessons with me every day, both on and off the stage, and I am forever grateful for the impact she has had on my life.”
