The couple mutually takes decision to divorce her husband after 9 yrs. of marriage inspite of having 2 kids.

We spoke to Mr. Rajesh Beri; the writer and producer that is he planning to present Bhabhi-2? He laughed it out saying that u can see Bhabhi fame Dolly Sohi in lead role but subject is totally different. He further tells that all the actors are really working hard and appreciate their efforts.

When asked further that why he choose DD this time, Mr. Beri replied ‘ Doordarshan is our national channel with the widest reach in across all over country and DD has phenomenal approach among viewers. Apart from that today Doordarshan is giving a tough competition to leading channels in term of content and quality ’

On other hand the lead character Manish is  going to be replaced by Actor Chandan Anand. And Mr. Beri is highly confident that replacing Manish will bring serial on new heights.

Initially Actor Anand Garodia was playing Manish’s Character; but due to other professional commitment Anand Garodia had to quit the show midway. Now Popular TV actor Chandan Anand replaced him as Manish .

.Chandan Anand also very excited for this challenging role. The subject of this serial is quite different from other daily soaps and I am glad to be associated with Jab Jab Bahar Aayi’ and more importantly Mr Rajesh Beri

This show is all about a young couple , Manish and Kamya with two kids and the two families connected with each other because of Manish and Kamya. But as many other couple in metro cities today, Manish and Kamya realized that they are not compatible enough with each other and decided to part their ways. But thhis decision of theirs did not spared the entire family. The two families, who were not aware of the special decision taken by these two, are shattered as they are being affected adversely. Also the kids who wants to have the love of both the parents are now left in isolation and forced to spend separate time with each other. 

What will happen to those releations which were made because of manish and Kamya between the two families? Will they remain or diminish with manish and Kamya's marriage? What impact will this have on the kids? Will Manish and Kamya reverse their decision in lieu of their families. Or will families be able to cope up with this situation? Is this marriage only about two people who are part of this or many other who voluntarily or involuntarily become an inevitable part of this institution? 

Ending the relationship is not the sole solution to fight the complexity of the same.

दूरदर्शन पर प्रसारित होने वाले सीरियल जब जब बहार आई ने 50 एपिसोड पूरे 

कर लिए हैं। इस सीरियल के साथ ही निर्माता और लेखक राजेश बेरी और 

अभिनेत्री डॉली सोही एक बार फिर साथ काम कर रहे हैं...ये वही जोड़ी है 

जिसने टेलीविजन पर भाभी जैसा लोकप्रिय धारावाहिक दिया था। सीरियल में 

शैली नीलू कोहली और जीतेंद्र भारद्वाज जैसे मंजे हुए कलाकार है। वही 

सारेगामा और आरपी-गोयनका जैसे बड़े समूह सीरियल के सहनिर्माता है। 

सारेगामा इंडिया लिमिटेड के हेड मनीष पोपट को भी इस सीरियल से काफी 

उम्मीदे हैं।

सीरियल जब जब बहार आई की कहानी लेखक राजेश बेरी के खजाने से 

निकली है। सीरियल की कहानी समाज में तेजी से बढ़ती तलाक की बीमारी 

और उसके कुप्रभावों को दर्शाती है। जब जब बहार आई में डॉली सोही एक 

बिल्कुल नए किरदार में नजर आ रही हैं...जो दो बच्चों के बाद अपने पति के 

साथ मिलकर तलाक का फैसला लेती है। डॉली ने रोल में मानों जान ही फूंक 

दी हो। जब हमने धारावाहिक के लेखक और निर्माता राजेश बेरी से पूछा कि 

क्या वो भाभी पार्ट-2 की दिखाने जा रहे हैं तो उन्होंने हंसते हुए कहा कि लीड 

रोल में भाभी फेम डॉली सोही ही नजर आएंगी, मैं उनके लिए पिछले 6 सालों 

से लिख रहा हूं। सीरियल के सभी कलाकारों की एनर्जी काबिले तारीफ हैं...आप 

भी शो में वो महसूस कर सकते हैं।

जब हमने धारावाहिक में काम्या नामक मुख्य किरदार निभा रही डॉली सोही से 

बात की तो उन्होंने कहा,  “मुझे तो ऐसा लग रहा है कि स्टार पर भाभी की 

शूटिंग रुकी और यहां फिर शुरु हो गई, लोग मेरे इस किरदार को भी भाभी की 

तरह पसंद कर रहे हैं।” 

ये पूछने पर कि इस बार उन्होंने नेशनल चैनल दूरदर्शन को क्यों चुना बेरी जी 

ने जवाब दिया “दूरदर्शन हमारा नेशनल चैनल है...आज भी उसकी पहुंच देश के 

कोने-कोने में है...दर्शकों की बीच उसकी पकड़ अन्य चैनलों के मुकाबले बहुत 

ज्यादा है। कार्यक्रमों के विषय और क्वालिटी के मामले में वो कई बड़े चैनलों 

को टक्कर दे रहे हैं।”

वही धारावाहिक के मुख्य किरदार मनीष के बदल जाने से राजेश बेरी को पूरी 

उम्मीद है कि अब सीरियल सफलता की और बुलंदियों पर पहुंचेगा।

मनीष का किरदार निभा रहे आनंद गरोडिया को अपनी व्यस्तता के 

चलते शो को अलविदा कहना पड़ा। उनकी जगह अब टीवी के मशहूर कलाकार 

चंदन आनंद मनीष के रोल में दिखाई देंगे।

मनीष के किरदार को लेकर चंदन आनंद भी काफी उत्साहित है। चंदन का 

कहना है कि “ मैं भाभी सीरियल में डॉली सोही के अपोजिट एक कैमियो कर 

चुका हूं और अब जब जब बहार आई में उनके पति का किरदार निभा रहा हूं। 

इस सीरियल का कॉसेप्ट काफी अलग है।”

‘जब-जब बहार आई’ की कहानी एक ऐसे शादीशुदा जोड़े के इर्द-गिर्द घूमती है 

जो शादी के 9 साल बाद दोनों तलाक का फैसला करते हैं। सीरियल में दिखाया 

गया कि तलाक केवल पति पत्नी के रिश्ते को नहीं तोड़ता बल्कि दो परिवारों 

के बीच भी कड़वाहट पैदा करता है। साथ-साथ ये धारावाहिक समाज को एक 

संदेश भी देता है कि तलाक लेना रिश्तों की उलझन को सुलझाने का एक मात्र 

जरिया नहीं है।

Kingsman: The Secret Service review by ANIZ FILMVALA

Kingsman: The Secret Service

review by

ANIZ FILMVALA

*****

A spy action comedy film, directed by Matthew Vaughn, and based on the comic book The Secret Service has all the magnificence of a Bond adventure to Sherlock Holmes astute logical reasoning of crime investigation and even follows the Quentin Tarantino’s aestheticization of violence, but entirely the movie has one significance value of black comedy with humorously enacted scenes.

Story in nutshell is like Kingsman a secret spy organization being a non-governmental agency works in disguise for betterments of society in general. The opening has some great action drama choreographed with chic timings and appealing visuals shows one of the core members of Kingsman is killed by Harry Hart, a.k.a. "Galahad [Colin Firth] thus in return to succor his family he offers a job to the latter’s son Gary "Eggsy" [Taron Egerton] to work as a secret spy in the organization.

A team of elite squad is trained under by Merlin [Mark Strong] a senior Kingsman and Arthur [Michael Caine] the Kingsmen's chief, ultimately they have to prevent a mass execution of human population by a billionaire Valentine [Samuel L. Jackson], who explains his reason of human population being akin to a virus and global warming is the Earth's equivalent of a fever, and Valentine intends to do something about the problem before the virus kills the host. A bundle of people world over brawl to kill each other as the microchip reacts which as a simcard creating havoc in the network is provided free by Valentine.

A superlative climax follows which can dwarf any Bond mega endings is high in production  value and edge of the seat entertainer. Worth skipping one of the crickets matches for this stylish action flick.

Shekhar Suman launched Author Zaarra Khader Book​ "The Forbidden One" by Leadstart Publishing

Leadstart Publishing along with Crossword Bookstores hosted a book launch today. The afternoon saw the launch of Zaara Khader’s book The Forbidden One. Veteran actor and TV personality, Shekhar Suman launched the book.

Author Zaara Khader said," The Forbidden One is a compilation of short stories - the chronicle of characters who, in some way or the other, are either excluded or restrained or tattooed ‘promiscuous’ by the society. The emotions are very well described so one can relate to it. One will relate to the book very well as it makes you feel your forbidden experiences and thats the essence of it.

Shekhar Suman, Veteran Actor and TV personality, expressed himself by saying," I like reading books. The book is very well written and the short stories are wonderfully presented. I wish Zaarra good luck and hope everyone enjoys reading it."

Mr. Swarup Nanda, CEO of Leadstart Publishing said, “Leadstart Publishing is extremely happy to have associated with the event. The topic gains relevance and am sure a lot will relate to it. We sincerely thank Shekhar Suman for gracing us at the event.”

About the Book: The Forbidden One is a compilation of short stories - the chronicle of characters who, in some way or the other, are either excluded or restrained or tattooed ‘promiscuous’ by the society. Malicious and primitive in its ways, pushing such people on the periphery is bourgeois. Yet such people have a life of their own and as we go delve deeper into the lives of these characters we discover strengths, self-belief and even a sense of ease with which these characters go about their daily chores. Each of the ten tales here is set in the deep ocean of human emotions. Except that some of these emotions find their expressions in forms that are supposed to be suppressed as per the norms and inherited wisdom of the society.

About the Author: Zaarra is a media professional who got enticed into the profession of expressions at an early age even though she studied to be an engineer. From hosting radio shows, producing TV shows and conceptualizing events and engagement platforms she has been in the business of entertainment, communication and sponsorships for almost a decade now. Crafty with words and sensitive to emotions to the core she discovered an urge to reach out to the world and cage their imagination with a few characters and tales which seemed familiar yet unknown. Writing comes to her naturally as does creating characters that are so real that you can almost touch and feel them. Having written some impressive jingles for the advertising world followed her lyrical venture on contemporary Sufism, her compilation of stories here is more about characters who display exemplary resilience in their pursuits to follow their heart without a bother of what the society thinks of them or defines them as. 

Young Actors rule the Brands' Circuit.

Young actors rule the brands' circuit.

The latest gen next guy to break into the endorsement circuit is Aditya Roy Kapur. His new hair product commercial shows why actually it's the younger lot who will be gaining focus in the brand world. The ad is fresh, good looking and has the X factor that comes with being young and single. The appeal is real and not a manufactured one.

The scene is shifting rapidly. While the Khans are still unchallenged, the newer lot is making their own space. Something that is immensely supported by the social factors of a young consumer market like India.

A sea change has been witnessed in the strategies and approach of the brand owners in today's scenario.

Earlier, the Khans and other actors with a series of successful films behind them, were the undisputed winners when it came to being the faces of leading brands.

A lot has changed now and more and more brand companies are seen investing in the young stars of the industry as well.

Following are some of the reasons behind this phase two.

Freshness - Be it Alia Bhatt or Shraddha Kapoor, young actors who have replaced the older ones bring freshness to the brand along with them. They are ready to experiment, innovate and try new things. So, when any brand looks at a revamp, their first choice is to opt for a younger brand ambassador.

Popularity - Young stars like Sidharth Malhotra have a huge fan following. They are also more connected to their fans through the social media platforms which is a huge benefit for the brands.

Saves cost - Unlike the Khans and other super successful actors, the young actors charge way lesser thereby helping the brand save their overall cost which can be utilized for further marketing.

Marketing strategist Prabhat Choudhary says, “Brands need to make themselves relevant to this (young) consumer group. While the appeal of the Khans remains unchallenged, there is a whole lot of endorsements that Bollywood’s young brigade is bagging. Interestingly, this is not just limited to the metro audiences, but smaller towns are also very much a part of this change.”

Long term investment - The shelf life of the young actors like Aditya Roy Kapur and Varun Dhawan is way more than that of the senior actors. So they are like long term assets whose benefits can be reaped for a longer period of time.

Youth connect and Relatability factor - With the target market of most of the brands being the youth, these young stars of the industry are the best options for endorsement. They have a very strong youth connect and high level of relatability.

Tried and tested - There has been an upsurge in the sales of products that are being endorsed by these young stars. The value that they bring to the brand is proving to be very beneficial to the brand which is why we see the trend changing.

Anirban Blah, who heads a celebrity and sports management agency says in a young country like India, it is natural for brands to look for youth icons. “Ranbir Kapoor is the first choice to reach out to consumers. For a college-goer, a Tiger Shroff is more relatable than an older star. But someone like Shah Rukh Khan has a universal reach which cannot be easily matched,” he states. ​
