Shemaroo Umang and Shashi Sumeet Productions Unveil Heartfelt Drama 'Main Dil Tum Dhadkan'*

Mumbai, [Date] — Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster with Shemaroo Umang’s new show, 'Main Dil Tum Dhadkan,' set to premiere on September 16, 2024! ‘Main Dil Tum Dhadkan,’ highlights that true motherhood is defined by love and emotional connection rather than biological ties. The series explores the bond between a mother and her child with a modern twist on the timeless story of Yashoda. This heartfelt drama from Shashi Sumeet Productions features a talented cast including Radhika Muthukumar, who delivers a heartfelt performance as Vrinda; Kavish Khunger, portraying Krish with genuine warmth. Zohaib Ashraf, bringing depth to Keshav’s role, and Neelu Vaghela, whose portrayal of Rajeshwari Devi adds significant emotional weight to the narrative.

‘Main Dil Tum Dhadkan’ beautifully underscores the essence of motherhood, highlighting the profound emotional connection between Vrinda and her son, Krish. Vrinda’s world revolves around Krish, and their deep bond is challenged when Keshav, who also feels a strong connection with Krish, reveals that Krish is his biological child. The revelation shatters Vrinda’s life and brings a glimmer of hope to Keshav, leading to a dramatic custody battle supported by Keshav’s mother, Rajeshwari Devi. As Vrinda fights to keep Krish, the series offers exploration of a mother’s love and the emotional trials faced by both Vrinda and Keshav.

*Radhika Muthukumar, who is set to play Vrinda, shared,* "Vrinda represents today’s Yashoda. Bringing her to life has been an amazing experience, full of heart and strength. 'Main Dil Tum Dhadkan' is a heart touching story that highlights—motherhood is not a definition, but an emotion. Vrinda’s love for Krish goes beyond traditional ideas of motherhood. This show explores the power of standing up for your loved ones and fighting for what you believe in. I hope you find Vrinda’s journey as inspiring as I do. Tune in from September 16th for a story that’s close to my heart!"

*Zohaib Ashraf, on portraying Keshav, said,* "Stepping into Keshav’s shoes is both a privilege and a profound challenge. As a father who has lived with the pain of believing he lost his son, this role has allowed me to explore the depths of hope, regret, and resilience. ‘Main Dil Tum Dhadkan’ is more than just a show—it's a heartfelt testament to the lengths we go for the ones we love and the second chances we never thought possible.”

*Neelu Vaghela, on essaying Rajeshwari Devi, mentioned,* “As the head of her family, Rajeshwari is fiercely dedicated to upholding tradition and maintaining dignity. Her outdated beliefs that widows, divorcees, and women who can't have children, are inauspicious highlight her regressive thoughts. In ‘Main Dil Tum Dhadkan,’ you’ll see her navigate the complexities of family and ritual while standing strong to support her son in a challenging custody battle over his child. Am excited for the viewers to join us on this captivating journey!"

‘Main Dil Tum Dhadkan’ promises to be a standout addition to Shemaroo Umang’s lineup, offering a touching exploration of unique bonds, love and hope. Tune in for the premiere on September 16, 2024, airing Monday to Saturday at 8:30 PM, only on Shemaroo Umang.

Dr. Jai Madaan Launches Siddhhi Arts: A New Venture in Luxury Silver Artifacts with a Focus on Spiritual and Astrological Significance

New Delhi ,13th September 2024 -  Dr. Jai Madaan, celebrated astrologer and spiritual thought leader, has officially launched Siddhhi Arts, a high-end luxury brand specializing in handcrafted silver artifacts. Co-founded with her daughter, Aarna Jai Madan, this new venture seeks to redefine the market for luxury home décor by blending the intrinsic value of silver with ancient Indian principles of Vastu and astrology. Siddhhi Arts is not only a luxury brand but also a response to a growing demand for meaningful, investment-grade products in an under-tapped segment of the silver industry.
The luxury home décor market has seen a sharp rise in demand for products that merge aesthetic appeal with functionality and spiritual significance. Consumers are increasingly looking beyond conventional luxury items to invest in pieces that carry deeper meanings—artifacts that serve as long-term investments and offer spiritual or cultural value.
“Today’s luxury buyers are seeking more than just beauty—they want meaning, longevity, and value. Silver has historically been considered a symbol of purity and prosperity in Indian culture, and Siddhhi Arts aims to bring this legacy into modern homes with artifacts that align with spiritual principles and add tangible value to living spaces,” said Dr. Jai Madaan.
Why Silver and Why Now? 

The global silver market, valued at over $25 billion, is experiencing renewed interest due to its dual role as both a precious metal and a functional material for industrial applications. Unlike gold, which is seen primarily as a financial asset, silver has a broader application in industries ranging from electronics to sustainable energy. Silver's affordability compared to other precious metals makes it an attractive investment, particularly in markets like India, where it is deeply rooted in cultural and religious traditions.
In this context, Siddhhi Arts enters the market with a unique value proposition: offering artisanal silver pieces that not only serve as luxury home décor but also as enduring assets that can appreciate over time. Each piece is crafted from hallmarked silver, ensuring both authenticity and investment value.
“We are building Siddhhi Arts not just as a luxury brand but as a sustainable business model with significant growth potential. By blending quality craftsmanship with spiritual alignment, we aim to lead in a niche that bridges India’s rich cultural heritage with modern luxury. Silver, unlike other luxury materials, offers both aesthetic appeal and financial resilience. It’s a sustainable investment that balances beauty with long-term value—especially in a market where consumers increasingly seek products with lasting cultural significance and wealth preservation,” said Aarna Jai Madan, Founder of Siddhhi Arts.
The brand’s approach marries the enduring value of silver as a precious metal with its growing appeal as a sophisticated, design-oriented medium—creating a new category of luxury products that resonate on both an emotional and financial level.

With silver’s increasing role in global markets—spanning from industrial applications to investment-grade assets—Siddhhi Arts is strategically positioned to leverage this material’s versatility and growing demand. In an era where affluent buyers are prioritizing meaning, sustainability, and long-term value in their purchases, Siddhhi Arts is poised to modernize the silver sector by offering bespoke, artisanal products that not only enhance living spaces but also represent a savvy financial investment.

Microsoft Expands Pune Footprint with Second Land Purchase, Invests Nearly Rs. 1,000 Crore in Two Months: Square Yards

Mumbai, 13^th September 2024: In a strategic move to bolster its presence in India, Microsoft has acquired a land parcel in Pune’s Hinjewadi for Rs. 453 crore, as reported by Square Yards. Hinjewadi, one of India’s most prominent IT hubs, continues to attract major investments from global tech players, with this being Microsoft’s second major purchase in the area in just over a month. In August, the company had secured another 66,415 square metre (16.4 acre) land parcel worth approx. Rs. 520 crore in the same locality.

Anand Moorthy, Co-founder and CBO, Capital Market & Services, Square Yards said, “India is the most exciting market for tech expansion right now, having a strong talent pool across the country and a maturing infrastructure for global tech giants. Demonstrating this trend, our data intelligence research on registered land transactions indicates that more and more tech-oriented global companies are expanding their presence in India for new office spaces, development centres, and data centres. India is one of the only countries to have resources from creation to consumption, which makes it the most lucrative geography to invest in. What also comes out of these capital investments in land and buildings by tech giants is the confidence in the appreciation of real estate, unlike in other countries.

Moreover, the government’s push to digitize land records is streamlining land acquisition processes and speeding up approvals, thus boosting global confidence in India. Once seen as a challenging market due to transparency issues, India is now becoming a prime destination for international firms to set up operations through long-term capital commitments.”

According to Square Yards, the recent land deal in Pune, registered in September 2024, involved the purchase of 66,450 square meters (approximately 16.4 acres) from Viva Highways Limited. The transaction which registered under its Indian arm Microsoft Corporation (India) Private Limited incurred a stamp duty of Rs. 27.18 crore along with a registration fee of Rs. 30,000.

Microsoft has been making big strides in India’s commercial real estate, with key deals including the purchase of 25 acres in Pimpri-Chinchwad for Rs. 328 crore in 2022, and 48 acres in Hyderabad earlier this year for Rs. 267 crore. These acquisitions were part of the company's broader strategy to strengthen its data center operations, with major facilities already set up in Pune, Mumbai, and Chennai.

Microsoft, which employs over 23,000 people in India across cities like Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Pune, is also focusing on talent development. Earlier this year, it launched its ADVANTA(I)GE INDIA initiative, which aims to train 2 million people in AI and digital skills by 2025, as part of its commitment to fostering a skilled and future-ready workforce in India.

ZEE 24 Kalak's Groundbreaking Flood Reportage Sparks Action and Aid Across GujaratIn the face of unprecedented

In the face of unprecedented rainfall and floods that ravaged various districts of Gujarat, ZEE 24 Kalak emerged as a beacon of reliable information and life-saving coverage. The channel’s comprehensive, round-the-clock reporting not only helped raise awareness but also galvanized swift governmental action and relief efforts across the state. From Vadodara to the rural hinterlands of South Gujarat, ZEE 24 Kalak’s efforts were critical in mitigating the disaster’s impact and ensuring public safety.

ZEE 24 Kalak's on-ground reporting during the catastrophic floods in Vadodara, triggered by heavy rainfall and the overflowing Vishwamitri river, played a pivotal role in alerting residents and aiding timely evacuations. Broadcasting urgent video messages from authorities and issuing breaking news alerts, the channel helped families in high-risk areas like Karelibagh, Sayajiganj, Sama, and Harni prepare and evacuate. By coordinating with the NDRF and Army, they facilitated rescues and relief efforts, while their real-time coverage of washed-out roads prompted immediate government action, restoring vital routes, including the one to the Statue of Unity, within hours.

Mr. Dixit Soni, Editor of ZEE 24 Kalak, praised the team’s dedication during the crisis: “This was not just about covering a flood, it was about protecting our citizens. We worked tirelessly to provide up-to-the-minute information, ensuring that residents could make informed decisions. Our priority was to cover every aspect of this disaster – from early warnings to post-flood recovery – so that the people of Gujarat were never left in the dark.”

ZEE 24 Kalak's flood coverage extended beyond Vadodara, highlighting Cyclone Asani's impact in Dwarka, Jamnagar, and Kutch. As the first news team in Mandvi, they reported on submerged homes and shops, including those of officials. In Koteshwar, near the India-Pakistan border, ZEE 24 Kalak exclusively covered rescue efforts, showing the administration's efforts to provide food, water, and shelter to stranded residents.

Additionally, the channel highlighted the struggles of Gujarat's farmers, who faced huge losses during the Kharif season due to crop damage. ZEE 24 Kalak's reports on the destruction of cotton, groundnut, and soybean crops drew national attention, prompting the government to survey the affected areas and announce relief. The government soon began damage assessments and promised financial aid to the affected farmers.

Mr. Karan Abhishek Singh, CEO of ZMCL, highlighted the channel’s role in driving positive action, highlighted, “ZEE 24 Kalak has consistently upheld the highest standards of journalism, and during the Gujarat floods, we went beyond reporting – we acted as a lifeline for many citizens. From bringing attention to dangerous conditions to showcasing the administration’s relief work, we played a crucial role in ensuring that help arrived when it was needed most. Our flood coverage reflects the power of responsible journalism in safeguarding communities and holding authorities accountable.”

ZEE 24 Kalak’s marathon coverage, branded ‘Khadama Gujarat’, played a crucial role in documenting infrastructure damage across the state. The team’s detailed reports on poor road conditions in major cities and highways prompted swift action from the Chief Minister, who ordered immediate repairs. In South Gujarat, particularly in Valsad, Navsari, Surat, and Bharuch, the channel provided life-saving updates during the floods, coordinating rescue efforts and aid distribution. ZEE 24 Kalak’s impactful reporting not only informed the public but also drove swift governmental action, ensuring the safety and well-being of citizens during the crisis.
