Mumbai, 18th October, 2016: ‘Gulzar in conversation with Tagore’, a passion project led by Gulzar which has been 5 years in the making, was launched this evening by Saregama India, the country’s leading end-to-end entertainment service provider. The album also features Shantanu Moitra, Shreya Ghoshal and Shaan.
Gulzar in conversation with Tagore consists of 7 songs which bring out a different side of Tagore, who is primarily known for Rabindra Sangeet. This album was created in an endeavour to take Tagore’s work out of Bengal and share it with the country. The music features a variety of live instruments like flute, tabla, veena, piano and more.
Vikram Mehra, Managing director of Saregama India Ltd says “This beautiful journey wouldn’t have been possible without the vision and passion of Gulzar Sahab. It’s an honour for us to be a part of this masterpiece created by him, Shantanu, Shreya and Shaan”.
Gulzar, the renowned mastermind behind this project said, “Working on this album has been an incredible journey, especially with Shreya, Shaan and Shantanu. It’s important that every Indian knows Tagore’s works and that’s what the four of us had in mind while working on this album. It has been my earnest desire that Tagore should be known as a household name across India.”
Shantanu Moitra, who composed fresh tunes for this album says, “I understood Tagore, thanks to Gulzar. This album is an expression of that understanding.”
Shreya Ghoshal, who sang on this album says, “To be a part of this project from its conception to release is beyond words for me to express, especially since we are bringing Tagore to the new generation. He has been a part of my life in so many ways since childhood, but to understand him through the interpretation of Gulzar sahab opened my perspective on the poetry, art and music that he created for our country to cherish. We want the whole world to enjoy the magic of Tagore.”
“Although I can proudly say that I have recorded over 40 Tagore songs, I must admit, I discovered the magic of his poetries and music rather late in my life. But in my formative years, the magic of Gulzar ji’s lyrics and films made an everlasting impression on me. To be a part of this ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ project where two of my all-time favourite icons come together, I feel incredibly lucky! I started my career with non-Bollywood music and with this project, it has come full circle.” said the versatile singer, Shaan, sharing is experience on this album.
The event was attended by Jaya Bachchan, Papon, Swanand Kirkire, Purbayan Chatterjee among others.
The album will be available to download on www.saregama.com. Songs will also be available on Apple Music, Saavn, Wynk, Hungama Music, Eros and Gaana.

I, Rishabh Raj (bollywood actor), am very sad to see the response of our countrymen towards our country.
Anurag Kashyap statement: “Prime Minister Narendra Modi should say sorry. Is he doing all these for publicity or supporting those who are anti-nationals? Or does he purely means business like East India Company.”
I am an ardent fan of Anurag Kashyap. Being an actor myself, I admire his works. But due respect to Anurag Kashyap, I do not support his statement. Our ideals have changed over a period of time. There was a time when our countrymen were ready to do or die for the country. We made movies fully devoted to our county. But today Bollywood is only looking for Publicity. As it is rightly said, “Bad publicity is also publicity.” Box office collection is what every producer looks for. But what if, it is at the cost of your motherland’s respect. Is it worth it?
It makes me thinks sometimes, why people like Bhagat Singh died for India? Why Soldiers every day die for India? Why school children donated their pocket money for army during Kargil War? Why 80% of Indians say go against Pakistan? What heritage are we ready to give our next generation? If they can so can You. Doesn’t your heart beats faster when you hear Vande Matram songs? Doesn’t your inner self rises when u listen Mera Rang De Basanti Chola? Doesn’t it seem wrong to you to support those who are wounding our motherland?
Business is our need. It gives us growth, development, advancement in technology. But is business so important that we forget to understand India is bigger than you. We tend to forget India is and will always be bigger than us. Our individuality, our roots, our presence is because of India. India has given us the structure on which we are standing. We are there if India is there. If India gets destroyed by enemies, who are we – Nothing.
Soldiers have lost their lives in the past so that the common public can sleep peacefully in their house. But is it only the duty of Soldiers towards India? Is it not the responsibility of each and every person to stand for India in time of need? We are one of the largest populated countries. Our unity, our strength has the power to destroy all evil forces once and for all.
I have faced a similar situation. My first movie Jhansi Ki Rani was 80% complete when the attack on Taj happened. The lead actress in the movie was Mera – Pakistani actress. Our producer didn’t even think twice to get free publicity in the name of the country. He just changed the lead actress. The lead actress had worked very hard; the entire team had worked very hard. It was a huge loss to me and my dreams were shattered. But I did not go against my country. Country always comes first because this county again gave me a chance to stand and do what I ever wanted to do.
I would request Indians to raise their voice and teach a lesson to those who use India as a platform to just make money like East India Company. They should be thrown out of country because they are East India Company virus and its vaccination is the need of today.

Mumbai: At an event in Mumbai, celebrity women from different walks of life launched AurDikhao’s full-fledged campaign called #DetectToDefeat– more than 10 short videos featuring 16 women celebrities from different fields, to promote breast cancer awareness. Divya Khosla Kumar, Shaina NC, Priya Bapat, Disha Parmar and Shibani Dandekar were present at the launch event.
Apart from October being known for the famous Oktober fest in Europe, in India we wish to stand for something more significant. For the uninitiated, October is observed as ‘International Breast Cancer Awareness Month’.
Research says breast cancer is one of the fastest rising cancer types amongst women. More than half of the cases are detected in stage 3 or 4, thus inhibiting any chances for cure. Hence the only way for prevention is raising awareness through early detection, treatment and cure.
As part of our Public Service Campaign, AurDikhao, a digital media channel in association with Dr Aneel Murarka and Manish Murarka – promoter’s of Ample Missiion Events Entertainment and more LLP have developed a full-fledged campaign called #DetectToDefeat
The campaign provides an opportunity to witness more than 10 short videos featuring 16 women celebrities from different fields. Each of these videos convey the message in a unique style. Many of the women celebrities in their respective videos put across different key messaging points- Sunidhi Chauhan deals with the word ‘test’ while Shaina NC & other TV celebs deal with 2 minutes. For Sunny Leone, Tapsee Pannu and Priya Bapat showcases various characters a women encounters in her day-to-day life who keep staring at their breasts.
Here’s the irresistible list of who’s who come together for the cause:

“Breast Cancer is one of the fastest rising cancer types in women. As prevention is better than cure, detection becomes necessary and hence the awareness campaign. When female population of India is 48%, it’s a necessity to take a step and being a philanthropist, I always strive to make a difference in the society”
– Aneel Murarka, noted philanthropist and founder of Ample Mission Foundation
“My team has entirely conceptualized and put together this campaign with 15 women celebrities in a record time of 15 days, thus literally shooting a celeb a day! We chose these women to break the ice when it comes to discussion on breast cancer awareness. The numbers we found out are alarming and what troubled us, or, rather intrigued is the fact that breast cancer is detectable at an early stage and hence curable. Every celebrity was equally willing to be a part of this and helped in the execution of the campaign”
– Aditya Bhat, Project Head & Founder-CEO, Aur Dikhao
A special thanks to Facebook India for sharing best practices that will help the campaign videos utilize the respective talent communities on Facebook more effectively through a new feature called ‘Crossposted videos’. We have also activated a special profile frame for the campaign which carries the key message of ‘Detect to Defeat’, which both pages and profiles can use to spread the word further.
