The Powerful Message of Anupamaa: Self-Respect and Empowerment Above All

Mumbai, 08 October 2024 (UTN). Produced by Deepa Shahi and Rajan Shahi, Anupamaa has emerged as a television show that inspires viewers across all walks of life. It teaches invaluable lessons about relationships, self-worth, and the importance of personal growth. Anupamaa challenges the conventional narrative about sacrificing self-respect for the sake of relationships, delivering a message that resonates in today's era of self-empowerment and individuality.   One of the most powerful themes in Anupamaa is that regardless of who you are or the kind of relationship you share with someone, it’s crucial to draw boundaries and understand the importance of respect. The titular character, Anupamaa, personifies strength and resilience as she stands up against those who treat her and around her unfairly. Despite being a devoted wife, mother, and daughter-in-law, Anupamaa's journey is a constant reminder that no one should tolerate disrespect.   Through this storyline, the creators underline the message that while relationships are important, they should not come at the cost of self-worth. The idea that any bond, be it a marital or familial one, should come with unconditional respect is crucial. If respect and value are missing, then it is not a relationship worth nurturing. It pushes against traditional norms that demand women sacrifice their happiness and ambitions for their families. Instead, the show encourages women to speak up, take action, and refuse to accept subpar treatment. One of the most profound aspects of the show is its ability to provide life lessons that are applicable to real life. Here are some of the core takeaways:   1. Self-Respect is Non-Negotiable 2. Empowerment is Essential 3. You are Never Too Old to Dream 4. The Power of Saying No 5. Women Can Have Their Own Identity   Deepa Shahi and Rajan Shahi have crafted Anupamaa in such a way that it becomes more than just a television series—it becomes a movement for change, a voice for those who have been silent for too long. With a beautiful message brought to life by Deepa Shahi and Rajan Shahi, Anupamaa becomes a beacon of hope and inspiration, teaching viewers that growth, individuality, and self-respect are the keys to true empowerment.   Mumbai-Reporter,(Hitesh Jain).

"I just love the traditional Bengali Puja look, it is very classy and dignified": Jaideep Singh

Mumbai, 08 October 2024 (UTN). Actor Jaideep Singh, who is currently seen in the show Iss Ishq Ka Rabb Rakha, shares his Durga Puja memories with us. Jaideep was born and raised in Kolkata. Although he is not Bengali by birth, he has a deep connection with the culture and food. Sharing his memories of Durga Puja, he says, “All my Durga Puja memories are special, but if I had to pick my fondest one, it would be when my dad brought me a Dhoti Punjabi that I really wanted as a kid. I had seen it in a shop on my way to school. Here in Mumbai, I have only one Bengali friend, but we make sure to go out for darshan and offer a special pushpanjali on Ashtami every year."   He also adds, “My preparation for Durga Puja is almost done. My friend Sanhita from Kolkata has sent me a dhoti from her brand, and I’ve bought a few kurtas in Mumbai. I just love the traditional Bengali Puja look; it’s classy and very dignified.” Jaideep also shares his love for authentic Bengali food, which is common during Durga Puja. He says, “Bengali food, especially bhog, is divine, and I wait for it. I also love other delicacies like labra (mixed vegetables), payesh, radhaballobi (a special puri), and dum aloo. Though I miss Kolkata a lot, Mumbai has its own charm during Durga Puja. There are so many Bengalis participating, and the excitement and enthusiasm are only growing every year.”   Mumbai-Reporter,(Hitesh Jain).

It is always going to be good over evil, and that's my mantra in life: Delnaaz Irani on celebrating Navratri

Mumbai, 08 October 2024 (UTN). Kal Ho Naa Ho and Bhootnath, actor Delnaaz Irani, who has been part of shows like Kabhie Kabhie Ittefaq Se, Yes Boss, and Shararat, is excited to celebrate Navratri. Talking about how she resonates with the festival, she said, “It is always going to be good over evil, so that is very symbolic, and that is what I always believe in, not only during Navratri, but that's my mantra in life. I always believe in positive thoughts, positive words, and positive deeds.”   “There are a lot of times that I have told myself that forgiving is very important, so even if a person has hurt me a lot in life, I feel it’s just a partial phase of life where somebody scored more brownie points than me professionally or personally, but eventually I know in my heart that my conscience is clear and I have not done anything wrong,” she added. Though Delnaaz doesn’t have a specific way to celebrate Navratri, she indulges in enjoying the festivities with her friends and neighbours.    She said, “Ever since I've come to this complex Shravasti, they have a grand celebration here itself, and we do take part in all the celebrations that happen. There's a fun fair one day, there's some competition for children, there is a garba night, and there is a mata ki chowki, so we take part and we celebrate with all our neighbors and friends. That's been our Navratri routine since the past few years.” She feels that more than participating in the festivities, it’s being there with the people and relishing each moment.   She said, “I usually go for these events in the evening, once I am back from a work schedule or a shoot, but I guess more than participating, it's just being there with people. It's just enjoying that moment. And even if it's for an hour, I do make it a point to go because I feel that the connection has to be there.” “And I feel very happy around people during Navratri because there's so much color, there's so much vibrancy, and there is so much light. It’s all so festive. It feels really good after a hard working day. It feels really nice and blissful,” she added.   Delnaaz also mentioned it’s not just Navratri, but all the festivals promote harmony and a feeling of bonhomie. "I think festivals like Navratri, Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, and others—no matter which religion or community you belong to—are times when people come together, interact, enjoy, and forget any disagreements or conflicts they may have had with someone. I feel these festivals symbolize forgetting, forgiving, and uniting under one roof to simply enjoy life. And that’s what life is about—because life is too short, and forgiveness plays a huge role in it. When you forgive, you become a better soul," she concluded.   Mumbai-Reporter,(Hitesh Jain).
