Shubhangi Atre reunites with her Kathak roots after 18 Years!

 Shubhangi Atre reunites with her Kathak roots after 18 Years!

Shubhangi Atre, widely adored for her portrayal of Angoori

Bhabhi in &TV’s Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, recently embarked on a heartfelt journey

to her hometown, Indore. This visit was special as it allowed her to reconnect

with her Kathak roots, revisit cherished memories, and reunite with her guru

after 18 years. Known for her innocent and quirky charm as Angoori, Shubhangi

has a deep passion for dance. She attributes this to her Kathak teacher, who

first introduced her to the classical dance form during her teenage years.

Speaking about this emotional reunion, Shubhangi expressed immense

gratitude for her guru’s pivotal role in shaping her artistry. Sharing her

experience, Shubhangi Atre aka Angoori Bhabhi said, “Visiting Indore is always

a homecoming for me. It’s where my journey began, and it holds a very special place

in my heart. While I’ve visited the city many times, this trip was incredibly memorable

as I finally fulfilled a longstanding wish to return to my Kathak class and meet my

guru after 18 years. Madhuri Dixit sparked my love for dance, but it was my guru who

nurtured it and taught me the art form. When I surprised her, the renowned Dr.

Suchitra Harmalkar, she had tears in her eyes. We hugged tightly and cried—it was

such an emotional moment. I was among her first few students when she began

offering private classes, and reconnecting with her was a dream come true.”

Reflecting on the visit, Shubhangi added, “Sitting in the same practice hall where I

once trained, performing a few moves, and hearing her words of encouragement

brought back a flood of memories. The walls still display a picture of me from when

we performed together. Meeting her reminded me of how important dance is to me. It

has taught me resilience and how to adapt to life’s rhythm. Every movement has a

story, and every story carries a lesson. Revisiting those lessons reignited a spark

within me. Guruji’s blessings and guidance have shaped not just my craft but also my

personality. This reunion was a profound reminder to stay rooted and grateful for the

bonds that mould us.”

महाराष्ट्राच्या प्रत्येक मनाला लायटिंग करत आनंद देणारं फसक्लास प्रेमगीत “मनाला लायटिंग” प्रेक्षकांच्या भेटीस!

 महाराष्ट्राच्या प्रत्येक मनाला लायटिंग करत आनंद देणारं फसक्लास प्रेमगीत “मनाला लायटिंग” प्रेक्षकांच्या भेटीस!

बहुप्रतीक्षित मराठी चित्रपट ‘फसक्लास दाभाडे’ मधील नवीन रोमँटिक गाणं ‘मनाला लायटिंग’ हे नुकतंच प्रदर्शित झालं आहे. लग्नानंतरच्या प्रेमळ क्षणांवर आधारित असलेल्या या गाण्यात सोनू आणि कोमलच्या अरेंजवाल्या लव्हस्टोरीचा गोडवा, त्यांच्या नव्या नात्यातील जवळीक पाहायला मिळत आहे. शिवाय तायडी आणि दाजींचं लग्नानंतरचं प्रेम आणि पप्पूचं हरवलेलं प्रेम सुद्धा बघायला मिळतंय. अमेय वाघ-राजसी भावे, क्षिती जोग- हरीष दुधाडे, सिद्धार्थ चांदेकर-मिताली मयेकर या जोडप्यांचा गोड अंदाज या गाण्यात दिसतोय. अमितराज यांच्या संगीताने आणि क्षितिज पटवर्धन यांच्या शब्दांनी या गाण्याला एक वेगळाच श्रृंगारीक साज चढवला आहे. तर अमितराज यांच्याच आवाजातून व्यक्त झालेला प्रेमभाव संगीतप्रेमींना भावणारा आहे. 

निर्माते भूषण कुमार म्हणतात, “’मनाला लाइटिंग’ गाणं हे प्रेक्षकांना प्रेमाच्या दुनियेत घेऊन जाईल. सोनू आणि कोमल यांचं हळवं प्रेम आणि गोड केमिस्ट्री या गाण्यात पाहायला मिळते. हे गाणं आपलं आहे, असे प्रत्येक प्रेक्षकाला वाटेल. सोनू आणि कोमलचा लग्नानंतरचा हा रोमँटिक  अंदाज प्रेक्षकांना नक्कीच आवडेल.” 

आनंद एल राय यांनी सांगितलं, “लग्न झाल्यानंतरचे सुरुवातीचे क्षण सर्वांसाठीच खूप खास असतात. प्रत्येक जोडप्याच्या नात्यातील हे सुंदर क्षण दाखवण्याचा प्रयत्न आम्ही केला आहे. या गाण्याची संगीत टीम कमाल आहे.’’

दिग्दर्शक हेमंत ढोमे म्हणतात, “अरेंज मॅरेजनंतरचे काही दिवस एकमेकांना समजून घेण्यात जातात. एकमेकांच्या सहवासात घालवलेला तो प्रत्येक क्षण खूप गोड असतो. छोट्या छोट्या गोष्टींमध्ये रोमान्स दडलेला असतो. प्रेम हळुवार खुलत असते. एकदंरच हे सोनेरी क्षण दाखवण्याचा प्रयत्न आम्ही याच केला आहे. लग्नं झालेल्या, होऊ घातलेल्या किंवा तशी स्वप्नं बघणाऱ्या प्रत्येकाला हे गाणं आपलंसं करून टाकणार याची मला खात्री आहे.’’

हेमंत ढोमे लिखित, दिग्दर्शित “फसक्लास दाभाडे” येत्या २४ जानेवारीला प्रेक्षकांच्या भेटीला येणार आहे. टी-सीरीज, कलर येल्लो प्रॉडक्शन आणि चलचित्र मंडळी निर्मित 'फसक्लास दाभाडे'चे भूषण कुमार, कृष्ण कुमार, आनंद एल राय आणि क्षिती जोग निर्माते आहेत. चित्रपटाचे वितरण पॅनोरमा स्टुडिओज करत आहे.

GJEPC celebrates Silver Jubilee anniversary of its Eastern Regional Office in Kolkata

 GJEPC Chairman Mr. Vipul Shah announces many initiatives for increasing gem & jewellery exports

The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), India’s apex trade body sponsored by the Union Ministry of Commerce & Industry, celebrated the Silver Jubilee (25^th) anniversary of Eastern Regional Office in Kolkata.

Mr. Vipul Shah, Chairman, GJEPC, Mr. Kirit Bhansali, Vice Chairman, GJEPC, Mr. Sabyasachi Ray, ED, GJEPC, Mr. Pankaj Parekh, Regional Chairman, Eastern India, GJEPC, Mr. Suvankar Sen, MD & CEO, Senco Gold & Diamonds, and Member SEZ Committee, GJEPC; many honourable members and luminaries from the gem & jewellery sector marked the milestone by attending a gala event at The Bengal Paddle Jetty in Kolkata.

Shri Shivaji H Dange, IRS, Principal Commissioner of Customers, Airport & ACC Kolkata graced the momentous occasion as Chief Guest.

Shri Vipul Shah, Chairman, GJEPC, highlighted the Council’s commitment to driving growth. He said, “The Indian gem and jewellery market, currently valued at USD 85 billion, is poised for rapid growth, projected to reach USD 130 billion by 2030. GJEPC is gearing up for growth with slew of initiatives.”

Speaking about the recent collaboration with De Beers Group, Mr. Shah said, “GJEPC has invested ₹150 crores in the global generic promotion of diamonds till date. To strengthen this effort, GJEPC has partnered with De Beers for promotion of diamonds through Retail Alliance in India, with a formal MoU was signed at a special event on 7 January.”

 

De Beers Group, the world’s leading diamond company, and GJEPC announced the commencement of a strategic collaboration to strengthen the natural diamond narrative within the Indian gem and jewellery trade.  The collaboration titled, INDRA - Indian Natural Diamond Retailer Alliance, will focus on supporting independent retailers in India with tools that go beyond the conventional. For example, leveraging Artificial Intelligence to create customized retailer campaigns. From multi-lingual marketing assets to immersive storytelling and superior customer experiences, as well as in-depth natural diamond jewellery training in local languages, it will support India’s jewellery retailers with the tools they need to make sure that natural diamonds resonate deeply with every consumer, said Mr. Shah. 

GJEPC organized the first B2B trade show IIJS Signature 2025, which generated business of around Rs. 35,000 crore. The show has grown exponentially, featuring over 1,500 exhibitors across 3,000 stalls, covering 1.25 lakh square meters of exhibition space across two venues  in Mumbai. The show welcomed 25,000+ trade visitors, including retailers from 800+ Indian cities and over 1,000 international visitors from 60+ countries.

“GJEPC will be organizing its inaugural exhibition in Saudi Arabia, set to take place in the vibrant city of Jeddah from 11-13 September 2025. This landmark event aims to serve as a gateway for strengthening bilateral trade between India and the GCC region, unlocking unparalleled opportunities for collaboration and growth. This will serve as a gateway to boost bilateral trade between India and the GCC region,” said Mr. Shah.

Additionally, in a move to boost gem and jewellery exports via e-commerce, GJEPC signed an MoU with DHL Express, the global leader in international express services, to facilitate the efficient shipping of India-crafted jewellery worldwide, said Mr. Shah.

Mr. Shah is looking to collaborate with various States. “GJEPC and the Maharashtra Govt. are collaborating on skill development and certifications to strengthen the future workforce. By integrating skill development with cutting-edge technology, we are not only transforming the Indian gem and jewellery industry but also fostering innovation, sustainability, and trust. Our commitment to nurturing talent, advancing infrastructure, and promoting transparency ensures that India remains a global leader in this dynamic sector,” said Mr. Shah.

On the export front, Mr. Shah remained optimistic about 2025. With American President Donald Trump’s return to the White House, there is hope for renewed stability in the geopolitical landscape, revitalized trade, and stronger supply chains, driving global demand for gems and jewellery. However, GJEPC is continuously exploring new markets while strengthening its presence in existing ones,” said Mr. Shah. 

GJEPC is also planning to make Singur (West Bengal) as a global export hub for fashion and costume jewellery. Singur has a skilled workforce of around 1 lakh Bengali kaarigars, who are working in manufacturing units located in and around Singur, Hooghly. In fact, 20% of the workforce are women and the development of Singur as an export hub will give a boost to the local cottage industry too. Vendors who import raw materials are located in Singur. Imported quality Gypsum manufacturing also started in Singur recently. Singur in Hooghly district is ideally located centrally and close to 5 railway stations, close to NH-2 which is connected to Kolkata International Airport.

Singur has artisanal heritage as Kolkata's renowned craftsmanship serves as a foundation, offering a rich legacy of artistic skills that can be leveraged by Singur's jewellery manufacturers.” He added, “Shifting global trade dynamics, with the US directing procurement away from China, present a strategic opportunity for Singur's manufacturers to meet this demand and elevate their global presence.

India’s gem & jewellery business has two strengths: the first of which is quality in design & aesthetics and smart-tech for jewellery manufacturing as well as knowledge. The knowledge has to penetrate deeper so that India can become knowledge and skill hub of the global gem & jewellery trade.  With unparalleled capacity, advanced technology, skilled artisans, and talented designers, we are prepared to excel on the global stage. Together, we will contribute significantly to the Hon’ble Prime Minister's vision of a Viksit Bharat, said Mr. Shah.

Talking about INDRA, Mr. Shah added, “Indra is designed to harness this momentum by tapping into India's dynamic young population, the rise of organised players, and increasing demand across bridal, everyday wear, fashion, and entry-level jewellery. This initiative reflects a shared vision to educate stakeholders, empower retailers, and boost consumer demand, all while highlighting the timeless value of natural diamonds. Retailers will benefit from multi-lingual staff training modules focused on generic natural diamond product knowledge as well as access to a market intelligence portal. The programme will also provide customisable marketing assets and content for retailers to promote natural diamonds at a store level as they seek to enhance their returns and expand their customer base.”
