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.

Jindal Rice Mills Launches Nourifyme – A Fortified Nutrition Brand To Fight Malnutrition In India

New range of Fortified Rice, Basmati, and Wheat Atta launched in Chandigarh aims to improve everyday nutrition and support India’s national health goals

Chandigarh, June 9, 2025 –  In a significant stride toward India’s nutritional transformation, Jindal Rice Mills announced the official launch of Nourifyme, a new consumer brand offering a range of Fortified Rice, Fortified Basmati Rice, and Fortified Wheat Atta. The launch took place at the Taj Chandigarh during a high-profile industry event titled “Unlocking Market Potential: Advancing Fortified Rice in Punjab.”

Gracing the occasion as Chief Guest, Shri Tarunpreet Singh Sond, Hon’ble Minister, Industry & Commerce, Rural Development & Panchayats,  Tourism and Cultural Affairs, Investment Promotion, Hospitality, and Labour, Government of Punjab, delivered the keynote address. In his remarks, the Minister emphasized the government’s commitment to food fortification as a national priority.

“Rice fortification is a crucial component of India’s battle against hidden hunger. As we scale up fortified rice distribution across government schemes, initiatives like this are essential to extend these benefits to retail consumers. I commend Jindal Rice Mills for taking this forward-looking step toward public health,” said Shri Tarunpreet Singh Sond.

Nourifyme is a response to India’s growing need for nutrient-rich, affordable staple foods, aimed at addressing widespread micronutrient deficiencies. The brand draws on decades of milling expertise, now aligned with national nutrition goals.

“By combining our legacy in rice milling with science-backed fortification, Nourifyme brings together quality, taste, and health in one plate,” added Vishal Gupta, Co-Founder at Jindal Rice Mills.

“With Nourifyme, we are not just launching a product line—we are launching a mission to put better nutrition in every Indian kitchen,” said Ankit Jindal, Co-Founder at Jindal Rice Mills.

The Nourifyme range is enriched with a scientifically chosen blend of essential micronutrients aimed at addressing widespread nutritional deficiencies in India. Each product is fortified with Iron to combat anemia and support cognitive development, Folic Acid to aid in cell growth and maternal health, and Vitamin B12 for nerve function and red blood cell formation. In addition, Zinc is included to strengthen immunity and aid healing, while Vitamin A supports vision and overall immune health. Together, these nutrients play a vital role in promoting better health outcomes for individuals and families across age groups.

“Malnutrition affects 37% of children under 6 yrs of age and these children in particularly girls grow into adolescence with protein and micronutrient deficiency, contributing to the problem of anemia in reproductive ages.  Anemia affects 57% of women in reproductive ages and 52% women suffer anemia during pregnancy (NFHS-6). Malnutrition and deficiency of micronutrients in particularly iron, folic acid, and Vitamin B12 – are major concerns among women of reproductive age.  These contribute to rising anemia among women in reproductive age during pregnancy,” Dr. Neena Malhotra, Prof. & Head, Deptt. of Obstetrics & Gynecology, AIIMS, New Delhi.

Despite National programmes on Anemia Prevention, the prevalence of anemia has not shown a decline. There is therefore a strong need to go beyond supplementation with iron and Folic acid tablets. Staple food fortification with micronutrients is a good option with proven benefits improving anemia on a large scale. Fortifying staple foods, wheat flour, rice or edible oils with essential micronutrient will improve nutrition and well – being of women in India.  I strongly advocate the inclusion of fortified foods in everyday diets to reduce risks of anemia and support healthy pregnancies,” added Dr. Neena Malhotra.

The event also showcased Nourifyme’s strong collaboration with global nonprofit TechnoServe, which leads the Millers for Nutrition – Asia program. This program supports rice millers across South Asia in adopting fortification best practices to improve public health outcomes.

Opening the event, Mr. Abhishek Shukla, Country Program Manager, Millers for Nutrition – India, outlined the importance of private sector innovation in solving national nutrition challenges.

“Millers are at the heart of India’s food system. When they step forward to fortify, they don’t just shift business—they shift lives. We are proud to support millers like Jindal Rice Mills in expanding the reach of fortified staples,” said Abhishek Shukla.

The Nourifyme range will be made available through key retail and distribution channels, with plans to expand across northern and eastern India in the coming quarters. A launch video showcasing the vision and product portfolio was screened during the event, followed by a product showcase where guests could experience the look, feel, and packaging of the full Nourifyme lineup.

White Spoon Fortified Basmati Rice, developed by Anand Agro Industries, was also launched today alongside Nourifyme. Fortified with Iron, Zinc, Folic Acid, B3 and B12 Vitamins, White Spoon is crafted to support better nutrition outcomes across communities. With a focus on both consumer markets and welfare distribution, it reinforces the commitment to combating hidden hunger through everyday staples.

The event concluded with a vote of thanks from Mr. Shubham Mishra, Food Fortification Manager, Millers for Nutrition India, who reiterated the importance of joint action.

“India’s fight against malnutrition needs both scale and innovation. It’s partnerships like this—between committed entrepreneurs and enabling institutions—that make change possible,” said Shubham Mishra.

The event was attended by leading millers from Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir, along with members of the food processing industry, nutrition advocates, and development sector professionals.

WOW Vastra Takes over the World at Prestigious Cannes Film Festival 2025

Rachanaa Jain who is a British Singer and Actress is shining in a Stunning Peacock Royale Lehenga with 6 Metres dramatic train along with Gold Temple Jewellery on the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival designed by Smrutha Santhosh, Founder of Styling by Wow Vastra.

This lehenga is designed as a tribute to heritage and divinity, the ensemble captivated the global stage with its bold narrative and meticulous artistry. Featuring a dramatic train made from cruelty-free artificial peacock feathers, the look embodied symbolism, elegance, and storytelling.

Styling by Wow Vastra the Couture Label has the tagline of “The Complete Look”. This philosophy defines Styling by Wow Vastra. Smrutha’s signature niche lies in creating Indo-Western outfits using authentic Indian fabrics — especially silks like Kanchivaram and Banarasi — and transforming them into silhouettes that blend tradition with modernity. From concept to completion, Smrutha offers head-to-toe styling, curating complete looks that include custom outfits, jewelry, and accessories — all available for purchase through her brand.

Styling by Wow Vastra made an unforgettable red-carpet debut. Bridging traditional South Indian craftsmanship with modern international flair, Smrutha unveiled a masterpiece that was as much about identity as it was about fashion.

The creation was a labour of deep craftsmanship:

• 240 hours of handwoven Kanchivaram silk
• 250 hours of intricate Aari embroidery with peacock and temple motifs
• 150 hours dedicated to feather artistry
• Antique-style temple jewelry engraved with goddess icons
• Every detail reflected reverence for culture, while embracing the language of global couture.

“I didn’t want to make just a dress,” says Smrutha. “I wanted to tell a story — one that honours our roots while imagining our future.”

Her clients don’t just wear outfits — they wear an experience, one rooted in culture and elevated by style.

Beyond Cannes, Smrutha also designed costumes for Rachanaa Jain’s upcoming international film “Bling Power,” which is a fusion of Bollywood and Hollywood reinforcing her growing influence at the intersection of fashion and cinema.

For her own Cannes appearance, Smrutha wore a contemporary-draped Ahimsa silk Kanchivaram saree, styled with structured shoulders and antique temple jewelry — a striking balance of strength, sustainability, and softness. Her look paid homage to timeless Indian craftsmanship while celebrating the empowered global woman.

But behind the glamour lies a deeper mission.

Through Wow Vastra, Smrutha collaborates with women artisans from rural and underrepresented communities, many of whom are rebuilding their lives after personal hardships. By offering dignified employment, skill development, and creative collaboration, she ensures that each garment carries the hands and hearts of resilient women.

“This is not just fashion,” she says. “It’s purpose-driven design.”

As Styling by Wow Vastra steps onto the global stage, it’s clear: this is South Indian culture not referenced, but leading. Rooted in tradition, designed for the future, and styled with soul — this is couture with a conscience.

अन्नू कपूर स्टारर चर्चित फिल्म ‘हमारे बारह’ के निर्माता रवि एस. गुप्ता ने अपनी 3 नई फ़िल्मों के पोस्टर किए लॉन्च

 “बारह से तीन”, “कण कण में राम” और “कालका” बनाने का एलान

अन्नू कपूर जैसे ऐक्टर से सजी चर्चित फिल्म ‘हमारे बारह’ के मेकर निर्माता रवि एस. गुप्ता ने  अब “बारह से तीन” नामक फिल्म की घोषणा की है. मुम्बई मे निर्माता ने एक प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस के दौरान अपने प्रोडक्शन हाउस राधिका जी प्रोडक्शन के बैनर तले आने वाली 3 फ़िल्मों के पोस्टर लॉन्च किए. “बारह से तीन” के अलावा “कण कण मे राम” और “कालका” बनाने का एलान किया गया.

“कण कण मे राम” के निर्देशक रवि एस. गुप्ता और निर्माता रवि एस. गुप्ता एवं त्रिलोकी नाथ प्रसाद हैं. कालका के निर्देशक रवि एस. गुप्ता और निर्माता रवि एस. गुप्ता एवं त्रिलोकी नाथ प्रसाद हैं. “बारह से तीन” के निर्माता रवि एस. गुप्ता एवं त्रिलोकी नाथ प्रसाद हैं और इस फिल्म के लेखक निर्देशक संजीव कुमार राजपूत हैं.

जब यह पूछा गया कि विवादित फिल्म ‘हमारे बारह’ से “बारह से तीन” का टाइटल मिलता जुलता है क्या कहानी भी उसी मुद्दे पर है? तो निर्माता रवि एस. गुप्ता ने बताया कि नहीं, ‘हमारे बारह’ जहां देश में बढ़ती जनसंख्या के मुद्दे पर आधारित थी वहीँ “12 से 3” एक इमोशनल हॉरर फिल्म है जो भाई बहन की कहानी कहती है. रात के 12 से 3 बजे का समय ऐसा होता है जब डर लगता है. इस फिल्म मे हनुमान चालीसा भी होगा.

इस प्रेस कांफ्रेंस में निर्माता रवि एस. गुप्ता के साथ निर्देशक संजीव कुमार राजपूत भी थे जो फिल्म 12 से 3 के डायरेक्टर होंगे. इस अवसर पर लेखक  दीपायन भी उपस्थित थे. तीनों फ़िल्मों के एक्जीक्यूटिव प्रोड्यूसर सत्यदेव कुमार हैं.

निर्माता रवि एस. गुप्ता ने बताया कि “कण कण मे राम” एक एक्शन फिल्म है. अगले साल ये फ़िल्में आएंगी. कालका एक अलग जॉनर का सिनेमा है.

निर्माता रवि एस. गुप्ता की एक और फिल्म “बूंदी रायता” भी जल्द रिलीज होने वाली है जिसमें बॉलीवुड के कई मशहूर कलाकार नजर आएंगे.
