Harish Singh Negi – An Inspiring Journey From Struggles To Success

Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand (Gwans Village): Harish Singh Negi, originally from Gwans village in Rudraprayag district, has today established himself as a successful Head Chef in the hotel industry. Born into a financially weak family, Harish spent his childhood working hard and supporting his family through small labor tasks in the village.

After completing his 12th standard, Harish moved into the hotel industry in search of employment. He began his career by washing utensils in a hotel. However, his dedication, passion for cooking, and continuous learning helped him grow step by step. With time, he mastered culinary skills and eventually achieved the prestigious position of Head Chef.

Harish credits his success to his father, Mr. Shur Singh Negi, a hardworking farmer who supported his family despite financial struggles. His mother, Mrs. Vimla Devi, a homemaker, always motivated him—waking up at 4 AM every day to prepare tea for him during his school days so that he could study with focus and aim high. Harish also acknowledges his sister for guiding him throughout his journey.

Harish initially dreamed of joining the Indian Army, but when his selection didn’t happen, he chose to build his career in the hotel industry. He completed his intermediate education from Government Inter College GhimtolI, Rudraprayag, and is currently working in a reputed hotel in Pune.

He shares—

“Whatever I am today is because of the blessings, guidance, and support of my parents and teachers. Their faith in me has helped me reach this position.”

Today, Harish Singh Negi has carved his own identity through hard work and determination. He has also trained many young boys in hotel management and has become an inspiration for many aspiring chefs.

Apna Amitabh Set To Release In Theatres On 12th December 2025, Showcasing A Powerful Social Drama

Apna Amitabh Set To Release In Theatres On 12th December 2025, Showcasing A Powerful Social Drama

MUMBAI — Apna Amitabh is hitting theatres on 12th December 2025. And no, this is not about superstar Amitabh Bachchan himself—but about the much-awaited Hindi social drama film Apna Amitabh, all set for a nationwide theatrical release on the same date.

The classic entertainment social-drama, written and directed by Ajay Anand and creatively produced by Vikas Sharma, explores the deep-rooted struggles of life in Indian villages and small towns. The film highlights the journey of a young boy—son of a sanitation worker—who bravely confronts the challenges thrown at him by his village, neighbours, and local community. Despite constant opposition and pressure, especially from upper-caste individuals, he rises above discrimination and eventually becomes a symbol of inspiration and hope.

Produced by Vikas Sharma, Raghvendra, and co-producer Ramesh Sharma, Apna Amitabh throws light on the pervasive caste system and societal discrimination. The film powerfully portrays how even a child from a marginalized background can grow, evolve, and showcase his talent on equal footing—challenging long-standing norms.

At the heart of the story is Vijay, a young boy and ardent admirer of Amitabh Bachchan. His daily routine—from the way he sits, stands, walks, and even turns—reflects the superstar’s iconic style. Though people often mock him for this resemblance, Vijay turns their teasing into motivation. What unfolds next is a journey only Apna Amitabh can reveal when it releases on the 12th of December.

The film features a powerful ensemble cast including Vijay Rawal, Anjali Mishra, Jay Thakkar, Hemant Mohar, Mukesh Bhatt, Vachan Pachera, Sharad Sonu, Suruchi Verma, Hanuman Gudshaa, Jitendra Singh, Amit Ghosh, Shilpi Kukareti, Vinay Ambast, Jyoti Singh, and Anupam Shyam.

The technical crew includes:

Editor: Chetan V. Tanna

Cinematographer: Shambhu Sharma

Music: Rajesh Jha

Background Score: Bhupesh Sharma

Post Production In-charge: Ahika Mishra

The film’s songs are written by Ajay Anand and sung by Bollywood playback singer Shahid Mallya.

Apna Amitabh promises to be a compelling, emotional, and socially relevant cinematic experience—ready to make a strong impact on audiences when it releases on 12th December 2025.

IMPPA President Abhay Sinha Calls For Wider And Affordable Access To Cinema At CII Big Picture Summit

IMPPA President Abhay Sinha Calls For Wider And Affordable Access To Cinema At CII Big Picture Summit

The President of the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA), Mr. Abhay Sinha, emphasized the urgent need to expand affordable and accessible cinema infrastructure across India while speaking at the CII Big Picture Summit 2025.

Organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), the summit was held from December 1 to 2, 2025, at the JW Marriott Hotel, Juhu, Mumbai. The twelfth edition of the summit was themed “Connecting Creativity and Commerce in the AI Era” and brought together key leaders from government, media, technology and the entertainment industry.

IMPPA was represented at the summit by Senior Vice President Ms. Sushma Shiromani, Executive Committee Member and FMC General Secretary Mr. Nishant Ujjwal, along with Mr. Yusuf Sheikh and Mr. Manish Jain. The summit was chaired by Mr. Sanjay Jaju, Secretary, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India.

One of the key sessions focused on “Cinema Infrastructure: Building Screens and Modern Theatres for Equitable Entertainment in India.” Addressing the session, Mr. Abhay Sinha highlighted the challenges faced by the exhibition sector, noting that multiplex ticket prices—often ranging between ₹200 and ₹250—are beyond the reach of low- and middle-income audiences. This, he said, has a direct impact on theatre footfalls and the overall growth of the film industry.

Mr. Sinha urged the government to review taxes such as TDS and GST imposed on theatres in order to provide relief and support to the exhibition sector. He also proposed the development of 100-seat mini cinema halls at bus depots and railway stations to make movie viewing more accessible to the common public.

Additionally, Mr. Sinha suggested the introduction of mobile theatres mounted on trucks, each with a seating capacity of 100, which could travel to small towns and rural areas. According to him, such initiatives would open new avenues for entertainment and expand cinematic outreach across the country.

The summit witnessed several innovative ideas aimed at strengthening India’s screen infrastructure and reaffirmed the industry’s collective commitment to inclusive, technology-driven growth.

A Remarkable Example Of Hindu–Muslim Unity: Dua Foundation Hosts Mass Wedding Ceremony For Hundreds In Bijnor

A Remarkable Example Of Hindu–Muslim Unity: Dua Foundation Hosts Mass Wedding Ceremony For Hundreds In Bijnor

Najibabad, Bijnor (Uttar Pradesh): Celebrating its first anniversary, Dua Foundation organized a grand mass wedding ceremony in Najibabad, Bijnor, where hundreds of couples were married in a harmonious and inclusive event. The ceremony showcased an extraordinary example of Hindu–Muslim unity, with prominent dignitaries gracing the occasion.

The program, held at Agrawal Farm House, featured Nikah ceremonies for Muslim couples while Hindu couples took part in the Varmala rituals. Distinguished guests blessed the newlyweds and extended heartfelt wishes for their future.

Under the guidance of Abdullah Gulzar (President) and Shameem Ahmed (Vice President) of Dua Foundation, the event was designed to support economically weaker families, ensuring that financial challenges did not hinder their children’s marriage. Dua Foundation sponsored the entire wedding expenses and also hosted a community feast for all attendees.

The event received special support from several respected community members, including Haji Yusuf Qureshi, Haji Yunus Qureshi, Haji Shameem Qureshi, Abdullah Gulzar, Shameem Qureshi, Haji Naseem Ahmed, Mohd. Aslam, Irfan, Imran Ikram, and Abdul Sattar.

One of the most notable aspects of the ceremony was its inclusive nature, as people from different religions and communities benefited from the initiative. The event has been widely appreciated as an important step toward building a harmonious and compassionate society.

In just one year, Dua Foundation has made a distinguished mark through numerous welfare activities.

The NGO extends help to the poor, provides assistance to hospital patients, supports the education of underprivileged students, and arranges marriages for boys and girls from low-income families. By organizing mass weddings for hundreds, the Foundation has touched countless lives and earned heartfelt blessings from beneficiaries and their families.

Attendees praised the initiative, describing it as an exemplary act deserving of the highest appreciation. Congratulating the entire team of Dua Foundation, they emphasized that while wealth may be common, a big heart is rare—and the Foundation has proven its commitment to humanity through action.

In today’s era of rising expenses, many families fall into debt to conduct a wedding. Dua Foundation’s mass wedding initiative has brought joy and relief to numerous households.

Families of the brides, in particular, expressed immense gratitude for being able to see their children married with dignity and celebration.

The grand event marked not only a celebration of marriage but also a celebration of unity, generosity, and shared humanity—values that Dua Foundation continues to champion.

“Manthan” A Solo Exhibition By U.S.–Based Artist Anisha Sanghani, Opened At Kamalnayan Bajaj Art Gallery

“Manthan” A Solo Exhibition By U.S.–Based Artist Anisha Sanghani, Opened At Kamalnayan Bajaj Art Gallery

Manthan: Let the Churn Begin Within You”, a solo show by U.S.–based artist and educator Anisha Sanghani at the Kamalnayan Bajaj Art Gallery, Nariman Point (December 1–6, 2025), is a visceral meditation on beauty, grief, and ecological crisis. Here, oceanic life and ancient mythology collide with the overwhelming weight of human excess, pulling viewers into a quiet but urgent reckoning.

Drawing on her background in fine arts, textiles, and graphic design, Sanghani reimagines the myth of Samudra Manthan as a contemporary environmental fable. In this retelling, the churning of the cosmic ocean no longer reveals divine treasures—it drags to the surface the refuse of modern life: plastic, poison, and unpayable debt to the natural world.

Her mixed-media canvases thrum with this tension between devotion and desecration. In The New Manthan, a lone sea turtle navigates waters swirling with serpents, sea creatures, and surreal mountains of plastic waste. In Wrath, an enraged goddess erupts from the depths, embodying the fury of deities witnessing the oceans they once guarded now defiled and suffocating.

Sanghani’s lush, layered technique draws viewers in with seductive beauty before confronting them with what lies underneath. That confrontation is rooted in reality: in a series of intense personal experiments, she submerged herself in water with her face wrapped in plastic, attempting to feel—however briefly—the suffocation endured by marine animals. “I became their voice,” she says. The image is unforgettable: a human tasting the terror we impose on an entire underwater world.

“Art cannot clean the oceans,” she reminds us, “but it can remind us of what they mean to us.”

Manthan becomes that reminder—a mirror held up to our habits, our convenience, and our capacity for denial. It asks: What do we take from the ocean? What do we return? And what will rise next if we continue to look away?

Sanghani invites every visitor into this inner churning—a shift toward awareness, responsibility, and renewal.

The exhibition was inaugurated on December 1, 2025 by distinguished guests including Ms. Nidhi Choudhari, IAS, Director & Artist, National Gallery of Modern Art; Sameer Balvally and Shilpa Jain Balvally, founders of Studio Osmosis; Ronak Sutaria, CEO, Respirer Living Sciences; Rishiraj Sethi, Director, Aura Art Development Pvt Ltd and co-founder, Aura Art; Dilip Ranade, eminent artist and former Senior Curator, CSMVS; and Prakash Bal Joshi, acclaimed artist and author.

Bollywood director Harshavardhan Kulkarni, Sony marketing strategist Parinda Singh, and music director Khamosh Shah were also in attendance.
