When one talks about Raj Kapoor and how sensually and gracefully he depicted his leading heroines in the movies, one always thinks of ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili.’ Mandakini shot to fame with this Raj Kapoor classic years ago but then seemingly faded away from the public eye after doing a spate of films in the ’80s and ’90s. After 30 years, she is ready to return to the screen. She will start the shooting of music video at the end of this month which is directed by Sajan Agarwal and Produced by Kailash Raigar Guru Ji under the banner of Filmy Clap Production house. The beautiful Lyrics are penned by Sajan Agarwal and music is composed by Babli Haque & Meera. ‘Maa O Maa’ music video also marks the debut of her Son Rabbil Thakur. This beautiful song is sung by Rishabh Giri.

 

Mandakini Said, “I’m very happy to associate with director Sajan Agarwal ji. I know him for a long time but finally we’re working together. ‘Maa O Maa’ is a very beautiful song and I instantly fell in love with it. The best part of this song is that my son is playing the lead. At the end of this month, we will start with the shooting of this song.”

Director Sajan Agarwal said, “I’m very happy Mandakini ji is making her Bollywood comeback through my video ‘Ma O Maa.’ Working with her is like a dream come true. She is a legendary actress and I’m sure this will be a great association with her and Ribbal Thakur.”

Well, now we can’t wait and watch this beautiful music video.

By
HEMLATA GAUTAM

Mumbai: Model and actress Kashika Kapoor has won the audience’s hearts all over again with a spectacular performance in the music video “Tu Laut Aa’.

Kashika is a bubbly and jovial person in the real life and has essayed similar roles on the screen in her career. She has played a sad role in “Tu Laut Aa”, her latest music video, but she has nailed the performance with her amazing eye expressions and tears.

“Kashika is a wonderful human being, a truly gifted actor, and a live wire on the sets. She was the perfect choice for “Tu Laut Aa” and has come up with another excellent performance in “Tu Laut Aa”. Fans are just going to love her performance,” says **, Director of the music video.

Kashika was so immersed in her role that she didn’t bother about her makeup or hair and simply focused on giving her best performance in every take.

Kashika, considered by many as the next big thing in Bollywood, says she is focused on her career.

“I have just begun in the industry. I am happy with the way my career has shaped so far, but I have a lot to learn. I have been approached for more projects but I am being very selective in accepting work. I am thankful to the producers and most importantly the fans for showering their love on me,” says the 20-year-old actor.

Kashika, who is all set to take the Telugu film industry or Tollywood as it is known, by storm, has three or four more projects lined up for back-to-back releases. She plays the lead in all these projects and will also be seen grooving to the music. Kashika has also been selected for a big project in Hollywood which will go on the sets very soon.

Kashika Kapoor young & very talented 20 years old to take away the cream in her upcoming projects in one of which Pratik Sehajpal will be seen to. Reportedly she’s been rejecting a lot of projects lately & is very choosy with the content being -good quality & decent ones only. Lovely ! The very talented girl took away the cream in dil pe zakhm as well and everyone in the industry is now behind signing her ,finally the industry gets a non star kid & fresh face whos so talented.

Kashika kapoor has lately been working on several projects at the same time. The actor has been very low-key & has been working all day & night. Which can be seen through her being off social media too. She’s a very talented & hardworking actress. She recently worked with the team of Mudassar khan for t series & Aslam khan for zee music also. They both mentioned of how she’s super talented & hardworking ,not just that but we’ve also got insiders that kashika kapoor has rehearsed for hours & hours by herself even after her rehearsals & she’s a quick learner & has killed it with her performance they said. Not just that but she was injured a day prior to her shoots but said she’ll still give in her 100% and she did, we can’t wait to see her upcoming performances. She has back to back releases at the same time & we cannot wait to see her kill it with her acting & dancing skills. Kashika kapoor is one of those very few girls who’s known in the industry and is getting established for her acting along with her beautiful looks & her hardwork.

She is coming up with back to back 4 bangers not just that but insiders tell us that kashika has acted brilliantly in front of her co stars & has really overshadowed them all,what is this mystery behind it …/since she’s a natural & versatile actor. What’s cooking exactly ?  kashika kapoor also gets approached for a reality show opposite mika but rejects it as she doesn’t find it interesting ,kashika also rejected the movie kabzaa as she felt Upendra was way too older in front of her ,this girl is really doing wonders. She started her career at just the age of 16. & today she’s making a great name. Not just that but kashika always takes her dad with her on shoots & for meetings too ,she believes in working with dignity & her dad or her mom is always protecting her wherever she goes. She has rejected plenty of projects this girl is bollywood & Tollywood & even Hollywood’s next big thing.

Kashika kapoor is also coming in a new project which is a Hollywood one which will be released by the end of April / May beginning ,she’s the main lead in it & it’s completely based on kashika kapoor. We are really excited! This year is hers

DO NOT FOLLOW RAT RACE USE YOUR BRAINS – Meeta Madhok

By
HEMLATA GAUTAM

Some athletes and bodybuilders add raw egg yolks to protein drinks to boost their nutritional content. Egg yolks have valuable nutrition, whether cooked or raw. However, if you eat raw yolks, reports the Egg Safety Center, you risk becoming sick if the egg is contaminated with bacteria. Therefore, it may be healthier for you to eat cooked yolks rather than raw ones.

MYTHS VS FACTS

What Are the Benefits of Egg Yolks?

DONOT SEPARATE NATURE – EGG YOLK HELPS IN THE ABSORPTION OF EGG WHITE’s NUTRIENTS IN THE BODY

Eggs have three separate sections — the shell, the white and the yolk. When you crack open a raw egg, the yolk is the yellow, circular section; a growing embryo feeds off this part of the egg as it grows within the protective shell. While the health benefits of egg whites are widely known, egg yolks have health benefits, too.

MORE VITAMINS

Egg yolks contain more vitamins — and larger quantities of those vitamins — than egg whites. Each egg yolk contains seven vitamins: B6, folate, a B vitamin, B-12, A, D, E and K. Of those, vitamins A, D, E and K are found only in egg yolks and not in egg whites. In fact, egg yolks are one of only a handful of foods in which vitamin D is naturally found.

MORE MINERALS

Like vitamins, minerals are crucial nutritional building blocks, essential for carrying out body functions like balancing electrolytes. Egg yolks — and egg whites — each have 13 varieties of minerals. These minerals include calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, sodium and selenium. Although both the egg white and egg yolk contain these minerals, the yolk has larger amounts of most. For example, 90 percent of an egg’s calcium is in its yolk; 93 percent of its iron content is in the yolk, with just 7 percent in the white.

EYE HEALTH

Carotenoids in egg yolk — particularly the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin — show promise for promoting eye health. These carotenoids, which are colorful pigments that give egg yolks their yellow color, lower the risk of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts, according to researchers. They act as antioxidants in the eye, protecting it from free radicals that can damage different parts of the retina, impacting its ability to correctly focus light.

BENEFITS OF CHOLINE

Egg yolks — and the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients found within them — also help promote heart and cardiovascular health. Not only does the moderate consumption of egg yolks not show a direct connection to heart disease, but nutrients in the yolk — such as choline — help to regulate cardiovascular function. Additionally, a study by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found women with the highest level of choline intake were 24 percent less likely than women who got the least choline in their diets to develop breast cancer.

CONSIDERATIONS

Egg yolks contain cholesterol, so you should limit the number of eggs you eat each day. Depending on your overall health or risk for heart attack, your doctor may recommend avoiding egg yolks or using them sparingly in your diet.

Interesting Ways To Use Papaya On The Face by Dr. Blossom Kochhar
Interesting Ways To Use Papaya On The Face by Dr. Blossom Kochhar

We often turn to our kitchen ingredients when we want to make a DIY pack at home, but there is one ingredient which might not be everyone’s favourite but has grave skin benefits. Papaya is filled with antioxidant properties which are not only good for our health but for our skin as well. It’s a rich source of antioxidants, vitamins A, C and E, pantothenic acid, folate, magnesium and potassium, and can be easily found in the market without being heavy on your wallet.

First let us look at some benefits of using papaya –

  1. The best part is that it is suitable for all skin types
  2. It is used to deep cleanse the skin; it removes all the dirt and oil that can lead to breakouts & acne.
  3. It nourishes the skin and protects it from looking dull and dry.
  4. Using papaya, you can counter the symptoms of aging. This can cut down on wrinkles and other signs of ageing. It will also kill dead skin cells and regulate pigmentation.
  5. The tropical use of papaya can heal chronic skin ulcers and it protease enzymes that promote healing and soothe irritated skin.
  6. This amazing fruit will help you remove tan. Papain and vitamin A and C help to lighten the skin tone and prevent tanning.

Now, if you are looking for super effective home remedies to make your skin look young and fresh, let us look at some using papaya.

  1. Mash about a cup of papaya and make it into a pulp, now add about 1-2 tablespoons of honey to it. Make a smooth paste and apply a thick layer on your face. Leave it for about 15-20 minutes and then rinse it with cold water. This pack will give you instant glow.
  2. The juice of raw papaya can prevent breakouts and blemishes on your skin. Blend raw papaya to extract juice from it and then apply it on the affected area using cotton pads. Leave it for 10 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry your face.
  3. Forget the painful ways of removing facial hair, it’s time to use this magical fruit to lighten facial hair. You can use raw papaya directly onto your face, the enzyme in papaya weakens the hair follicles and lightens the facial hair. If you use it regularly it will also prevent re-growth. You can also blend raw papaya and mix half cup of the paste with half teaspoon of turmeric powder. Mix well and apply this paste on your face. Once the face mask dries off, scrub it off and wash your face with warm water.
  4. If you are looking to get rid of your acne then take a pulp of ½ cup papaya, add a teaspoon of honey, lemon juice and sandalwood powder. Apply the pack evenly on your face and rinse it after 15 minutes. Use this pack every alternate day to get instant results.
  5. Like we mentioned papaya also helps to hydrate and soothe skin, you really want to try this pack to get glowing results. Blend ¼ cup of ripe papaya with half cucumber and ¼ cup ripe banana, blend these together until you get a smooth paste. Apply this for 15 minutes and rinse it with cold water. Repeat this once a week.
  6. Mash half cup of over ripe papaya, to this add one tablespoon and milk and honey. Apply it on your face and neck. This is an excellent pack to combat ageing as the alpha hydroxyl acids in it prevents signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines. The vitamin E and C rejuvenates your skin.
  7. Papaya works like a charm when it comes to dealing with skin tan. Add half a cup of mashed papaya with quarter cup yoghurt, one teaspoon rose water and a pinch of turmeric. Apply it generously on your skin and leave it on for 15 minutes. Wash with cold water and pat dry.
  8. Papaya contains vitamin C and the juice of it is believed to work as a natural astringent and reduce excess production of sebum. Chop the ripe papaya into pieces. Squeeze the juice from the orange wedges, and mix with the chopped papaya. Mix well till you get a smooth paste.

An important thing to remember is, papaya might not suit your skin so always do a patch test on your hand or on your neck before applying the pack on your face.

HEMLATA GAUTAM

Many aspirants try their luck in tinsel town, and very few make it. Those starry dreams that may come true someday make them strive and work hard to reach there. One such name is Varsha Adwani, who has been vying for that spot since 2016, when she first tied her luck at beauty pageants and doing some print shoots. She knew that she was attracted to the glamour world and wanted to do something in the acting department.

Opportunities did not fall into her lap, and she had to work hard for them, and she out her best put her best foot forward. She was ready to try and make things work for her when she got an acting offer in a Sindhi movie, ‘Lakhi Muhinjo Lakhan Me.’ The film proved to be a success, and she got her chance; it was time to make this phase work for her. She got a chance to work on a music album titled ‘Soniya col tu aaja’ by Shemroo, an interesting project that got very good feedback from the audience.

Varsha knew things were falling into place even though she didn’t belong to a film family or from the industry. Her passion to excel saw through. She knew that talent would be recognised one day. She initially knew it would be hard to get people to trust her ability and give her a chance, but she knew that she would definitely win them over with her hard work and dedication to the craft.

It may have taken time, but she got to be some good projects which helped her gain some footing in the industry. It is a place wherein you have to work doubly to ensure not you get your next project but also please the audience with every work you present them.

The OTT platform has provided relief for talents like Varsha who can now work some extraordinary projects wherein almost every character has a good storyline. Varsha has made some amazing choices on the work front, and these are shortly going to stream. Some of them are Viram, a web series and a web movie called Hank, which happens to be a biopic on Vikas Dubey. Her latest release is streaming on MX player and Hungama, a short film named ‘Identity.’ Produces by mxpertz There is much looking forward to talented actress Varsha Adwani’s next ventures and how she wows the audience time and again.
