TRIO TEAM ADNAN GULZAR AND SHAAD BACK AFTER A DECADE

It's not that long back when nation hummed Adnan's number 'kabhi toh nazar milao' and sang lift kara de  and now after much waiting Adnan is back with his very melodious and refreshing voice for the current heartthrob of the nation Ranveer Singh for Yashraj's latest flick kill Dill .

The trio of Adnan-Gulzar-Shaad is back after more than a decade for the quirky number Sweeta. When asked Adnan said, "It's been an honor to work with Gulzar ji, my association with him is very old and so is with Shaad whose a dear friend. I am quite sure the love and acceptance what we got a decade back for our song "udi udi" from the movie Saathiya back in 2002, Sweeta would get much more this time as good music is easily recognized by one and all. 

He also added 'Sweeta is one number that's very close to my heart and is in my system. I kept singing it even after recording and would carry it back home everyday.

I am more than happy that this song has become such a hit in no time. I hope to see it on number one position on the music charts and recreate the magic once again and hear the nation crooning Sweetaaaaaaaa tujhsa nahi koi meetha!

About Aakanshaa Nimonkar 
 
Every woman can become an inspiration for other women. And that is what Aakanksha set out to do, by telling real stories of a woman's strength. Her stories are inspired from societal issues and the films her production house Art & Soul Entertainment makes, become her mouthpiece to send across a message. Her critically acclaimed short film ‘Main Tamanna’ that went on to make a strong statement about child abuse is one such film. The idea for the film came about after Aakansha interacted with a woman who was a victim of sexual abuse as a child. And this woman, unlike a thousand others, raised a voice against it. Aakanksha wanted to bring her inspiring story to every woman. Child abuse is a crime that conveniently goes unreported and more often than not, the perpetrators are family members. Main Tamanna brought this issue at the forefront. The film has already received over 3 lakh views on YouTube and has been awarded by the Bangalore Film Festival. It has been screened at Film Festivals in India and abroad, winning applauds all over because of its honesty towards the subject. But Aakanksha believes that this is just the beginning of her journey. She’s taking ahead her task of inspiring women with her next project ‘Aalav – Beautiful Darkness’, written and directed by her. This film too has been inspired from a true story about a woman and her fight with a bad relationship.

Minissha Lamba: I am not crafty, but a subtle player


Bollywood actress and now a Big Boss contestant in season 8, Minissha Lamba is one contestant who has always played the game in a much dignified manner.


Minissha who was very subtle in the earlier episodes on the show is very vocal and opinionated when she needs to be. She is one contestant who always puts her foot down when required and lets things pass by when needed. 

That is exactly what happened in Big Boss earlier this week when Arya on national television apologized to her after the heated episode they had last week with Salman on he making a statement that they were in a relationship before the show. 



Minissha just nodded and accepted his apology rather than making a big noise and any kind of drama. She has proven that she believes in bygones be bygones.
