Amrita Rao & RJ Anmol in their First Ever Video Together .. get to name a Fan's NewBorn baby Girl in this 21Days Lockdown

!!! 

The whole world is under Quarantine & India is going through a 21day Lockdown. During this  time citizens are doing some new things, and  exploring things for the 1st Time and so did the otherwise, "media shy" Couple Amrita Rao and RJ Anmol.

In a first time ever  Amrita and Anmol did a Live Chat together & their Fans Grabbed the Opportunity with Both Hands. 

 In these tough times they brought Smiles to many faces as they  sang retro songs and joked about cooking and doing household chores  together.

Amidst some Video Callers they took,  a fan named Tiger Barot from  Jaipur whose wife delivered a baby girl during this Lockdown. 

As the family cannot call anyone home for the naming ceremony,  Tiger requested Amrita to suggest a name with ‘D’ for his new born.

Amrita and Anmol were overwhelmed & touched with the thought & Amrita was rather quick to suggest the name ‘Devika’ for the little one. She added, that's her favourite name & that she had goosebumps  while taking such a big decision for Tiger and his family.  

Overwhelmed by Amrita's    suggestion the Fan along with his family said, "Rashi sey koi lena dena nahi, ab naam toh Devika hee hoga" 

Indeed, the first ever live video of  the couple who has kept their personal life mostly very private turned out to be a special one !

Actor Sandeep Aanand takes an online masterclass amidst corona fears

Mumbai: Actor Sandeep Anand celebrated World Theatre Day in Mumbai through an online masterclass for the students of Thakur College. The actor who has donned the hat of a director for the first time also promoted his short film ‘Method Acting Ka Bhoot’ to the audiences. 

Sandeep who was last seen in May I come in Madam has done theatre for 13 years in various languages before joining television. Speaking on the occasion Sandeep said "I am lucky enough to be a part of the Indian theatre, my first short film 'Method Acting Ka Bhoot' is also a tribute to the theatre industry. I owe my existence to the theatre. If we observe closely - Bollywood, OTT and Television have been blessed by theatre artists. Much of the wonderful content that we see today on these electronic mediums have been crafted by theatre personalities. Numerous super-stars like Om Puri, Supriya Pathak, Nasser Sir, Radhika Apte, Pankaj Kapoor, Huma Quereshi, Deepak Dobriyal, Richa Chaddha, Saurabh Shukla, Lilette Dubey, Saurabh Shukla, Nandita Das, Raghubir Yadav, Kangana Ranaut, Anupam Kher, Nimrat Kaur, Boman Irani, Ratna Pathak Shah, etc have begun their careers through theatre."

Indian theatre is one of the most ancient forms of Asian theatre and it features a detailed textual, sculptural, and dramatic effects. Indian theatre has exerted its influence beyond its borders, reaching many other countries. "As a diverse, multi-cultural nation, the theatre of India cannot be reduced to a single, homogenous trend. There is a lot of variety and difference in the same play when it is showcased in different parts of the country. Also, the language of the play also changes in various regions to suit the audiences. I strongly believe that it is the truest test of an actor as there are no retakes. I wish that the Indian Theatre audiences grow so that it again competes with Bollywood, Television and OTT content" said Sandeep Aanand.  

The actor who was last seen in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai when asked as to when will his fans get to see him again on their screens said, “For me, the medium does not matter, the idea does. I am contemplating a few offers that allow me to portray something that I have never done before. The moment it gets finalised, I will be the first to announce it." Sandeep who began his career with Sun Yaar Chill Maar has been one of the most loved television actors known for his various characters in FIR, Bhabhiji Ghar Pe Hain, May I come in Madam. Sandeep started acting at the age of seven.

AIMO welcomes the RBI announcement Friday, March 27, 2020.

AIMO welcomes the RBI announcement Friday, March 27, 2020. All India Manufacturers Organisation, ( AIMO ) an Apex trade body focused on the interests of the MSME sector today welcomed the measures announced by the Reserve Bank of India and said it will provide the MSME’s a much-desired short term jab in the arm relief .  According to Mr Sudarshan Saren , President, AIMO  “ We would like to acknowledge the steps and compliment the RBI for providing the appropriate measures at a critical stage for the 60 million plus MSMEs in the country . We believe that the announcement regarding the Three months Moratorium on EMIs an Term loans will help the MSMEs and its employees greatly especially when we expect to see negligible revenues in the near future.” Commenting on the RBI measures , Sareen added  “ The RBI had announced that the Interest payments on Working Capital will also be deferred by 3 months  and such deferment will NOT be considered for NPA, our members greatly appreciate this announcement and hope that by this period their businesses will be back and running at optimum levels. AIMO had also thanks the Government of India for the liquidity increase to the tune of of 3.4^ of the GDP which will help in increasing the demand.”  We at AIMO believe that one of India’s biggest assets are our Entrepreneurs and that segment can not be allowed to die. Survival of every existing Entrepreneur equals creating two fresh new entrepreneurs. The above suggestions are required on war footing basis. The crisis of 60 million plus MSME/START UP can also be called as National Calamity and addressed. If we miss this last opportunity, then we might not have any MSME in existence at all.

It is just our way to give back to the society and community.”

Actor Sonu Randeep Choudhary to digitally debut with Zee5's State of Siege 26/11

Zee5's upcoming series State Of Siege 26/11 has started making a buzz since quite a long now. The series revolves around the terror attack by Kasab and his team on Taj Hotel and surrounding areas. Actor Sonu Randeep Choudhary will be seen playing one of the prime characters in the show. He has portrayed Ismail Khan, the terror troop leader heading Kasab and his team.

Hailing from a small village called Kolinda in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan; Sonu has done several TVCs for Amazon, Mahindra Finance and Organic Food to name a few. He also worked as a casting associate for Contiloe Pictures. He has also done theatre with director Jairoop Jeevan in 2010.

Speaking about this big digital break, Sonu says, "I am humbled to have gotten this opportunity to play Ismail. He is tough, smart, cunning and a dark shaded character. It wasn't easy playing him because of the violent nature that he has, which is entirely opposite to me. I went through a good amount of research on him, saw some films, read some books and that's how I managed to get into his skin. I feel lucky to do my digital debut with Zee5."

Sharing his experience working with an ensemble cast including Arjun Bijlani, Vivek Dahiya and Mukul Dev amongst the others. Choudhary exclaims, "It was delightful working with the team. They were very cordial and helpful. It was a good learning experience."

Produced by Contiloe Pictures and directed by Matthews Leutwyler, the series will stream on Zee5 from the 20th of March, 2020. We wish Sonu and the entire team,  good luck and success.

CSMT station conferred with five-star rating by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India

 

Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) conferred Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) station of Central Railway with ‘Eat Right Station’ certification with five-star rating. 

Shri Sanjeev Mittal, General Manager received the award from Dr. Yogesh Kamat, Director Western Region FSSAI, at CSMT on 4.3.2020 in presence of Shri B.K. Dadabhoy, Principal Chief Commercial Manager, Shri Prabhat Ranjan, Chief Commercial Manager (Catering), Smt. Iti Pandey, Chief Commercial Manager (Passenger Services), Central Railway, Shri Rahul Himalian, Group General Manager, IRCTC,  Shri Padmamohan T, General Manager (T), IRCTC, Shri N.K. Pipil, Shri Jitender Kumar, Joint General Managers (catering), IRCTC Shri Sourav Chatterji, National Channel Manager, HUL and senior railway  officers of Central Railway.

Eat Right Station is a part of the ‘Eat Right India’ movement launched by FSSAI and Hindustan Uniliver Limited (HUL) aimed at promoting food safety and hygiene at the static catering units at Railway Stations.

 

The food quality regulator  of FSSAI and HUL along with Officers of Central Railways (CR) and Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), and  food auditors inspected Food Plaza, Jan – Ahaar, Base Kitchen, Retail Catering stalls and other  catering establishments at the CSMT station and certified & rated the standard of food. CSMT has been judged on the basis of compliance of food safety and hygiene, availability of healthy diet, food handling at preparation, transhipment and retail/ serving point, food waste management, promotion of local & seasonal food and creating awareness on food safety and healthy diet. After the final audit the FSSAI awarded five-star rating with 88% scope to CSMT Station. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) is the first station on Central Railway to have been given this certification.

 

‘Eat Right India’ movement is built on two broad pillars of ‘Eat healthy’ and ‘Eat Safe’. The “Eat Healthy” pillar of the movement is about nudging citizens to make healthy food choices and building healthy food habits. It encourages them to choose nutritious and fortified foods in the right proportion and limit foods that are high in salt, sugar and fat. The ‘Eat Safe’ pillar is about ensuring food safety to prevent food borne diseases. It includes maintaining hygiene and sanitation, both personal and environmental, proper waste disposal, following safe food practices and combating adulteration.

This concept has been promoted and supported by the Railways to help passengers make healthy and right food choice.  The food business at stations is a major attraction for passengers and Central Railway and IRCTC have joined hands to ensure that healthy and tasty food in a hygienic manner is sold at the catering units.  The behavioural change in the catering staff in preparation, storage and distribution of food has been emphasized in the training given to the licensees of the catering units which will go a long way in inculcating the culture of health and hygiene in food business on Railways.
