Aarya Babbar shot for and completed shooting a song despite having a major accident off a bike on sets 

Aarya Babbar is a complete professional when it comes to shooting. He was shooting for a song for a major music portal with Shraddha Shinde, directed by Rohit Gangurde and he fell off a bike. He was badly injured but he continued to shoot and completed it. If reports are to be believed then it was told to us that he would be in such high spirits throughout the shoot despite being in immense pain. The doctor suggested rest for some weeks before resuming any kind of work. The team was elated and scared at the same time. They had their concerns that he might not aggravate the injury and it can get flared up.

We spoke to the director of the song and here is what he has got to say, "Let me start by saying this, Aarya is a true gem in person, I was shocked after I saw his injuries, more than the shoot my whole team was worried about his health because it was a major accident. I informed my producer Priya Ranjan Kumar. We even decided to cancel the shoot after speaking with my producer Priya Ranjan Kumar. After that, I spoke with Aarya and he suggested waiting till 12 pm the next day. The next day morning I woke up with a decision of canceling the shoot but Aarya was all set to continue to shoot and here we are today. We completed the shoot as per plan. Though he was in major pain, the smile & energy were never been missing for a single moment till we completed the whole shoot. He was in immense pain but still, he gave his best shots every time. He never complained even about retakes. This is what we call hard work and as I said in the beginning Aarya is a true gem. My composer Chandan Saxena has created the melodious song & we have given our best while shooting. Now we are eager to get a good response from the audience."

Aarya says, "As actors, we need to be extremely professional and that includes working through pain barriers. I am glad that we could shoot as we wanted. So a job well done to the team."

 Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar and Hridaynath Mangeshkar release devotional Marathi album on works of Sant Dnayeshwar

-          Each song to have special commentary by Lata Mangeshkar herself.

 Sant Dnyaneshwar is regarded as one of India's greatest poet, philosopher, and saint. He was the forerunner of the bhakti movement in Maharashtra and encouraged people to live a simple life and to avoid all the lavish living to attain God. During his lifetime of 21 years, he wrote many pieces of literature like 'Dnyaneshwari', 'Amrutanubhav', 'Chaangdev Paasashti', 'Bhavaarth Deepika' and several Abhang and Virahini (devotional songs and poetry.)

 More than 50 years ago, Lata Mangeshkar had collaborated with Saregama – India’s oldest and biggest music label - and had released an album called Dyaneshwar Mauli, which had several of the saint’s devotional songs and poetry in her own voice, set to music by the legendary composer and her brother, Pt. Hridaynath Mangeshkar. Now through this new album, titled ‘Bhavaarth Mauli’, once again, ten immortal Marathi compositions have been reintroduced to the lovers of music and spiritual poetry with an added feature. Each of the songs is presented with a special commentary explaining the true meaning

 Speaking on the launch of this album, Lata Mangeshkar said: It is an absolute honor and a privilege that I am able to present the poetic works of the great saint and poet Sant Dnayeshwar to this generation.  Through this album called Bhavaarth Mauli, my brother Hridaynath and I have made a humble attempt to introduce each of these poems by a commentary explaining and unraveling the spirituality & essence of the poetry. I  hope the audience has the same beautiful spiritual experience listening to these beautiful compositions just as we have had in bringing them to you

 Bhavaarth Mauli' in the voice of Lata Mangeshkar and composition of Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshaker has released today on the Saregama Marathi Youtube channel and on music streaming platforms

Malvi Malhotra takes to reading during the lockdown in the city

 Malvi Malhotra takes to reading during the lockdown in the city

Malvi Malhotra had been shooting round the clock before the recent lockdown that has been imposed. She has decided to give her another passion sometime during this lockdown at home. She has taken to reading and she just can't keep her hands away from the books. Reading is to the mind what exercising is to the body. So it should be fair to say that the pretty actress is racking up the neurons and working on her intellect. Malvi Malhotra has a heart of gold and she is a strong girl. She has started her work with an NGO and the Mumbai police to help women fight the crimes being done to them and she is creating a lot of awareness in this regard.

Let's hear it from her on what she has to say on her reading expedition, "I am on a marathon reading adventure. The books take me to a different world altogether. I can't keep away from them I even start my day and end my day while reading. I am reading all sorts of things such as fiction, self-help, science, mysteries, biographies. I have a huge collection of books ever since I was a kid. I started with the Cinderella Stories, Enid Blyton, and then moved on to biographies, drama, and modern science. It's a wonderful habit to be constantly reading. It also helps with my profession that is acting. I can memorize dialogues easily and I understand a scene better."

Well, reading indeed is a great habit. Time to take some inspiration from Malvi and read some books.

                                           महात्मा जोतीराव फुलेंचा 'सत्यशोधक' रुपेरी पडद्यावर

महात्मा फुलेंच्या जीवनावर आधारित 'सत्यशोधक' चित्रपट लवकरच प्रेक्षकांच्या भेटीला येणार आहे. शोषित पिडीतांसाठी जोतिरावांनी केलेले कार्य सर्वश्रुत आहे. अंधश्रद्धेच्या अंधकारात खितपत पडलेल्या समाजाला ज्ञानाच्या प्रकाशाकडे नेण्याचे काम जोतिरावांनी केले. आपल्या प्रखर लेखणीच्या व स्वकार्य कर्तृत्वाच्या माध्यमातून जन-माणसात नवीन विचार पेरणाऱ्या जोतीरावानी शोषण कर्त्यांच्या विरोधात बंड पुकारलं. दुष्ट रूढी परंपराच्या गर्ततेत अडकलेल्या समाजाला मानवतेचा आणि सत्याचा मार्ग दाखवून जोतीराव खऱ्या अर्थाने सत्य धर्माचे पथदर्शक ठरले. या अशाच अनिष्ट प्रथांच्या विरोधात सत्याचा शोध घेणारा आणि समानतेच्या वाटेवर चालणाऱ्या 'सत्यशोधक' धर्माची त्यांनी स्थापना केली.

     
अशा क्रांतिकारी महात्मा जोतीरावांचा जीवन प्रवास मोठ्या पडद्यावर हिंदी आणि मराठी चित्रपटाच्या माध्यमातून लोकांसमोर येणार आहे. समता फिल्म्स आणि पी बी इन्फ्रा यांच्या संयुक्त बॅनर अंतर्गत चित्रपट तयार होत आहे. गेल्या 3 वर्षा पासून 'सत्यशोधक' या ऐतिहासिक चित्रपटाच्या निर्मितीसाठी सर्व टीम अथक परिश्रम घेत आहे.
