Madhurima Tuli & Vishal Aditya Singh back together...!

 Madhurima Tuli and Vishal Aditya Singh who were last seen in Bigg Boss are back with a bang with a beautiful romantic music video Khwabeeda. Both the actors have carved a niche for themselves with their work, and are known for speaking their minds instead of taking aid of diplomacy, and maybe that’s why they are loved crazily by the fans and viewers alike. This lockdown has seen many releases of various songs but Khwabeeda is different. Madhurima Tuli shares, "The special thing about Khwabeeda firstly is the song & the story, secondly, my brother has directed it and thirdly ViRima is back. In fact, the entire experience of shooting Khwabeeda has been very special and interesting. From discussion and planning to dance rehearsals and the pre-production phase, it was like youngsters ganging up together and making a product with their heart and soul. Honestly, it feels ecstatic because finally the product which we have dreamt of since almost one and a half year has been released. And whatever we had thought and visualised, everything fell in place. This is our first big venture together, so I am quite overwhelmed, excited and happy with the response we are getting."

 

When asked Vishal Aditya Singh about his experience, he shared " It was amazing, it was a lot of fun because everything was happening the way we had visualized and the song was amazing. And for me it was nice especially because after so much had happened, we were working as a team. There were a lot of mixed emotions, you know sometimes after a gap when you talk there are limitations, there's a boundary but everyone is our own, so kaam karne mein bada mazza aaya. Everything is special about Khwabeeda, the song, music, singer, story, when I heard this song for the first time, I loved it. I would also like to say thank you to Shrikant Tuli for giving me the creative freedom, I always wanted to do something creative as a writer, a director apart from my acting. There is a lot of excitement, everyone has done a great job, and Good work is always good work only; when people see that they appreciate it. I am sure that everyone is going to like it a lot."

 

The person responsible to turn the impossible into possible is none other than Shrikant Tuli, Madhurima Tuli's brother who directed the music video. When asked about his experience, he shares, "So the idea of Khwabeeda came to me one and a half year back when my friend and singer Anurag Mohn shared the song with me. It was such a brilliant composition and I felt that Madhurima Di and Vishal Bhai perfectly fit in, and fortunately and when I shared it with them, they both loved the song and concept, and we just knew this is something we have to make. I am absolutely thrilled that Khwabeeda is the first song from my music label SVMT Music and I still can’t believe that it's actually released, my dream has finally come true. I had always picturized Madhurima and Vishal for this song and I am glad that they both agreed to do this music video." The music video has been produced by Swati Sinha & Rewati Raman, sung by Anurag Mohn, Sumit Sharma being the label head and the dance directors were Tarun Nihalani and Shivani Patel.

Vivek Anand Oberoi launches a special project to help the differently abled

Vivek Anand Oberoi, who has proved his mettle as a versatile actor, is also known for his charitable work and his immense contributions towards the society. A humanitarian at heart, the actor-producer is all set to add a new feather to his hat. 

To support and help the differently abled, he has collaborated with the Gujarat Government with the blessings of Shri Vijay Rupani, the current Chief Minister of Gujarat, on a new project. Under the initiative, for the first time in the world, a special manufacturing zone will be set up for products exclusively designed to serve the needs of people with disabilities. What’s even more inspiring is that the products will be manufactured by the disabled themselves, providing jobs and self respect to thousands.

One of Vivek’s companies has already changed the lives of over 50,000 visually impaired people using technology proudly made in india.

Interestingly Vivek has been the Brand Ambassador for the Social Justice ministry of government of India for many years now. 

Talking about it, he says, “People still look at the differently abled discriminatingly. They are ostracised and people often tend to label them as ‘imbalanced’ and ‘not normal’. They want to be treated just like all of us and I have always wanted to come up with an initiative so that I could help provide them with an opportunity to work and be self-reliant. This is a step towards making India more tech-friendly and I am beyond elated to be associated with a mission like this.” 

Vivek has often been in the news for his selfless and noble gestures towards the specially challenged. The new initiative will be an important step in the direction of creating employment opportunities for the differently abled youth in the country. 

The actor is indeed an inspiration for millions. Way to go, Vivek!

John Abraham Is PETA India's Person of the Year

Bollywood Superstar Has Spoken Out for Dogs, Birds, Pigs, Elephants, and Many Other AnimalsJohn Abraham talks, the world listens – and for using his voice to advocate for animals great and small, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India has named him its Person of the Year for 2020. He'll star in the upcoming film Satyameva Jayate 2, which is a sequel to the 2018 movie.

This year, Abraham sent a letter urging e-retailer Quikr to stop trading in live animals – and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Over the years, he's teamed up with PETA India to push for a ban on animal circuses, speak up for Mumbai's "dancing" monkeys, and star in an ad urging everyone not to keep birds in cages. He also adopted a community dog, his beloved Bailey; urged authorities to stop illegal pig slaughter in Goa; and put a football jersey on the auction block to benefit PETA India's work to help animals.

"John Abraham has been helping PETA India advocate for animals since our inception, and he shows no signs of slowing down," says PETA India Director of Celebrity and Public Relations Sachin Bangera. "If birds are suffering in cages, puppies are being cruelly sold, or animals are in danger anywhere in the world, we can count on him to come to the rescue.

Past recipients of PETA India's Person of the Year award include Dr Shashi Tharoor, former Supreme Court Justice KS Panicker Radhakrishnan, cricketer Virat Kohli, and actors Anushka Sharma, Sunny Leone, Sonam Kapoor, Kapil Sharma, Hema Malini, R Madhavan, and Jacqueline Fernandez.

PETA India's motto is "Animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way", and the group opposes speciesism, which is a human-supremacist worldview.
