AMIT SADH ON RUNNING SHAADI

“Not even Google has as many answers on how to elope compared to Running Shaadi,” says Amit Sadh.

 

 

 

Amit Sadh has complete faith in Running Shaadi being a hotbed of answers on how to elope. The actor recently revealed this belief and even challenged Google for comparison.

 

During an interview for the upcoming movie, Amit Sadh interrupted producer Shoojit Sircar to state “Not even Google has as many answers on how to elope as compared to Running Shaadi, so if you plan to elope then watch the film”. The actor then playfully went on to challenge the world’s largest search engine with a “Google, I’m here for you. Come.”

 

The statements were proclaimed in front of the movies’ bemused female lead, Taapsee Pannu who looked at her co-star brazen comedic delivery, which is present throughout the feature film. 

Running Shaadi depicts the story of an unlikely duo, a conscientious Bihari and a Sardarji geek, who stand up and create a platform providing “High Take Social Service“ to Indian couples who want to spend their lives with their soul mates.

 

Produced by Ronnie Lahiri, Shoojit Sircar and Crouching Tiger Motion Pictures, Running Shaadi releases in cinemas on 17^th February 2017.

Roma Navani had a great beginning of 2017 with the launch of her production house while also bagging the award for Kumkum Bhagya at the most popular television award show, Zee Rishtey Awards. The show also bagged the "Best Show Award" rising to glory at the eventful night. It was a matter of pride and prestige for all the actors and makers of the serial as it stole the thunder by sweeping 5 awards.

Roma Navani who plays the role of Tanu's (character in the show) mother in Kumkum Bhagya says, "We are over the moon. We  are flooded with phone calls and messages ever since the show received the best show award. Although I was not keen  on doing this character as I am too young to play Shabir Ahluwalia 's mother in law but since it was interesting and  the fact that generally theatre actors do not grudge over playing any age, I finally surrendered to the character completely. All we craved for was appreciation for our hard work. Our wishes have turned into a reality." She further adds, “Doing good work is my only agenda. Success and praises will therefore follow"

PETA US

PRIYANKA CHOPRA, TOM HARDY AND CASEY AFFLECK SPEAK UP FOR DOGS IN A NEW STAR-STUDDED PETA (US) VIDEO

 

Celebrities Lend Their Voices to Real-Life Footage of Neglected, Lonely Animals.

Tom Hardy

 

 

Actor Priyanka Chopra has teamed up with Hollywood stars Tom Hardy and Casey Affleck for a new PETA US video that encourages viewers to treat their dogs like family by never leaving them chained up outside to suffer in the cold - hungry and alone. American TV host Bill Maher, actor Edie Falco, rapper D.R.A.M., Latina superstar Kate del Castillo, and reality star Courtney Stodden also lent their voices to the project, which features real-life footage of neglected animals captured by PETA US fieldworkers.

 

The video begins with a shot of a chained dog sitting alone in the snow, while Hardy asks, "When you first got me, did you know that you were going to chain me up and leave me outside? Even in the cold and snow?" In another footage, the Quantico star Priyanka Chopra is heard saying, "Did you know that as I got old and stiff and I couldn't get comfortable no matter how hard I tried you would let me suffer alone and in pain?" At the video's end, Hardy asks, "If you did, then why did you get me at all?" However, it's the final message that leaves a lasting impression, 'Treat dogs like family. Let them live indoors this winter.'

 

The dogs featured in the video were filmed near PETA US' headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia, where the group's field workers serve as a 24/7 resource for animals in need. They also serve more than 250 surrounding communities, providing dogs and many other animals who are forced to live outdoors with free shelter, straw bedding, food, water, veterinary care, and other necessities.

 

Every year, PETA US – whose motto reads, in part, that "Animals are not ours to abuse in any way" – receives thousands of complaints about people who leave dogs outside in the cold, rain, and other weather extremes. Dogs and other animals can suffer from frostbite and exposure, and they can become dehydrated when water sources freeze. PETA India and its global affiliates encourage families to keep their dogs indoors in a protective environment during the harsh weathers.
