Actress Shrit Chaande The Strong-Willed Marathi Girl Is A Down-To-Earth Person Wants To Create An NGO To Help Animals In The Future

A girl from a small village with a special personality had an extraordinary dream. That dream was to make her mark in the glittering world of films. This is the story of Shrit Chaande, who has become an inspiration for thousands of youth today who want to come to the Bollywood industry.

Shrit Chaande was born in a simple village Pandhurna situated on the Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra border, where girls are not often expected to dream big. But Shrit kept her dreams alive. She overcame every difficulty and rejection with her self-confidence and hard work. When Shrit was in her teens, she left home with a passion to achieve something and first came to Nagpur, then Chandrapur, then Bhandara and again to Nagpur. An innocent lonely person who did not understand the world, she first tried to earn a living. She first worked as a sales girl in a marketing business in which she first sold detergent powder, then protein powder and many products like RO door to door. She worked as a waitress in parties and receptions and in this way saved money by doing small and big jobs so that the path to the Bollywood industry becomes easy. She participated in a fashion show in Nagpur where many people discouraged her from going, she did not get any support, then a female friend of hers encouraged her and advised her to come to Mumbai.

Due to the fashion show, Shrit got a chance to work in advertisements. Getting a foothold in a big city like Mumbai is no less than a war. But Shrit did not give up. After coming to Mumbai, she stayed with the same friend and gave auditions for acting here. But when she was offered four shows, her friend betrayed her due to which her rented house was taken away from her. Out of helplessness, she stayed in an under construction building for three days because the money for her daily expenses was also stolen. But she did not lose courage. To strengthen her financial condition, Shrit started her career through advertisement films and fashion shows and slowly started making her place in the industry. She did advertisements for many small and big brands like Lakme, Lodha Builder, Flipkart, saree, jewellery etc. She has worked in the TV serial Vighnaharta Ganesh. There were many turning points in her life when she could have almost broken down but Shrit did not give up. This strong-willed Marathi girl is a down-to-earth person who has experienced many good and bad experiences at a very young age. Her family is not associated with the film industry, so their dreams were not understood by them.

Since childhood, Shrit Chaande was interested in acting and dancing. When she would come on stage in school programs, everyone would watch her art mesmerized. To improve herself, she participated in school and local plays, attended dance and acting workshops and used social media to present her talent to the world. Her family wanted her to do a government job.

In Bollywood, she was greatly influenced by Bipasha Basu and somewhere this influence brought her to the Bollywood industry. Bipasha Basu’s self-reliance, Sushmita Sen’s dignity, Priyanka Chopra’s global thinking and Lara Dutta’s intelligence shaped Shrit’s perspective. Like these women, she has established herself not only in the world of glamour but also as a strong woman. She wants to work with Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Ayushmann Khurana and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The famous dialogue from director Farah Khan’s film Om Shanti Om “Agar kisi cheez ko shiddat se chaho to puri kainaat tumhe usse milane me lag jaati hai” is the inspiration of Shrit Chaande’s life.

Shrit is now on a new height in her career. Very soon she is coming to surprise and entertain the audience with her first item song in a Marathi film. Her dance number will not only be full of glamour but will also be a testimony to her hard work and dedication.

Shrit says – “If you have passion, you will definitely reach your destination. To fulfill your dreams, you only need hard work. The rest of the path is created on its own. If you are entering this world of glamour, then focus only on your goal because you will find thousands of elements to distract you from the path, but you have to travel alone to reach your destination.

Shrit wants to create an NGO to help animals in the future.

Today, Shrit Chaande is not just an actress, she is the hope of thousands of girls who sit in villages and dream of a new morning.

Shrit’s story teaches us that there is no limit to dreams. You just need to have the courage to fly.

Shrit Chaande Has Become An Inspiration For Thousands Of Youth Today Who Want To Come To The Bollywood Industry

Amitabh Ashesh’s upcoming solo exhibition Yun Bhi, slated for June 10–16, 2025 at Mumbai’s Jehangir Art Gallery, marks the public unveiling of his unique artistic enterprise Yufism. This emergent painterly idiom resists strict categorisation, unfolding instead as a fluid, genre-defying language where abstraction, figuration, memory, and metaphor intermingle. Yufism pursues compositional departures while permitting multiple aesthetics. It promotes an intellectual sensibility undergirding gestures, impressions, and poetic residues.

Ashesh’s canvases invite the viewer into a liminal world, where the ordinary undergoes a quiet, contemplative metamorphosis. A drop of water is transformed into a temporal bead in the necklace of life. A window becomes more than a frame, it drifts, becoming an emblem of thought, cognition, and transience. In this manner, the mundane is reconfigured, made mythic, and held up for deeper reflection.

Paintings are rooted in Ashesh’s lived experiences, his domestic life, his garden, fleeting relationships, his sporting life, intercultural exchanges. Yet, these elements are not rendered as narrative or confession. Rather, they are translated into abstract poetics characterized by conceptual tenets. His titles, often lyrical and elusive, extend the canvas into the domain of language, encouraging dual engagement, visual and verbal, intuitive and interpretive.

What makes Yufism particularly compelling is its resistance to cultural containment. It seeks universality immune from geographies, movements, or a prescribed lineage. It opens space for plural meanings, for multiple truths to exist simultaneously. In Ashesh’s hands, painting becomes both inquiry and evocation, rooted and transcendent. Through Yufism, he constructs a painterly world that invites viewers to see not just images, but the ineffable ideas behind them, an art of feeling, form, and fugitive thought.

Rush By Hike Unveils Its Maiden Campaign #Chalojeetkichaal With Krushna Abhishek To Champion Skill-Based Gaming In India

~Celebrating India’s smart causal gamers, the campaign rolls out across TV, Radio, and Digital in high-growth markets.~

India’s real-money gaming scene just got a turbocharge of fun and desi flair. Rush, the leading skill-based casual gaming platform from Hike, has unveiled its first-ever brand campaign, #ChaloJeetKiChaal, starring none other than actor-comedian Krushna Abhishek. Brimming with humour, hustle, and classic everyday jugaad, the campaign celebrates the sharp-minded, quick-footed players of Bharat who turn life’s curveballs into game-winning moments.

 

Marking Rush’s most ambitious communications push yet, the five-week campaign goes live across TV, radio, and digital starting June 10, aiming to reach over 20 million users in India’s fast-growing Hindi-speaking markets.

At its core, #ChaloJeetKiChaal celebrates everyday champions, those who navigate life’s plot twists with skill, hustle, and heart, turning daily challenges into moments of victory. With Rush’s flagship game, Ludo, as the hero, Krushna Abhishek brings his signature high-energy charm and street-smart comedy to the forefront, proving that in both life and gaming, bold moves and smart thinking are the ultimate power combo.

“#ChaloJeetKiChaal is our way of turning the spotlight on India’s sharpest gamers – people who play smart, hustle hard, and know that strategy & skill always wins over chance. We wanted the campaign to be as fun and fast-paced as the platform itself and bring gaming into the mainstream conversation with a smile,” said Manish Kumar, CFO, Hike.

By blending aspirational storytelling with colloquial flair, the campaign hits the sweet spot for young, ambition-driven India especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities where value, status, and entertainment converge in one super app.

“India’s real-money gaming industry is rapidly evolving into something far more aspirational, rooted in skill, culture, and mass accessibility,” said Manish Kumar, CFO, Hike. “Krushna was a natural choice for this campaign. He embodies the spirit of Bharat — quick-witted, endlessly relatable, and driven by hustle. His energy captures the heart of our vision: a gaming experience that’s skill-first, deeply inclusive, and unmistakably fun. This is what the future of gaming in India looks like.”

Backing the Buzz with Big Moves, Rush is pulling out all the stops to take this campaign to the next level:

• 360° media rollout spanning television, radio, and digital to build omnichannel visibility.
• High-impact performance marketing across Meta and Google aimed at quality user acquisition via celebrity integrations with Manisha Rani, Sunny Singh, and Nitish Rana.
• Driving deeper market penetration through targeted vernacular campaigns and culturally-rooted storytelling, led by regional influencers who bring local flavor and authentic relevance to the Rush narrative.
• In-app and social media contests to fire up community participation and competitive spirit.

At the heart of the campaign is the Leedo Champions League, Rush Ludo’s flagship tournament offering high-value rewards such as cash prizes, gadgets, and vehicles, reinforcing the platform’s promise of skill-based play and real-world gains.

As India’s online gaming market evolves, Rush is taking a stand with the message gaming success should be earned, not lucked into. The campaign reinforces that Rush Ludo is 100% skill-based, with gameplay that rewards smart decisions and strategic thinking. Reinforcing this stand, the platform continues to invest in user education around game mechanics and transparent matchmaking systems, ensuring that every win is a true reflection of the player’s skill.

So, get ready to play smart and win big. As Krushna Abhishek brings the heat with #ChaloJeetKiChaal.
