A fresh message
Bhoop Yaduvanshi and Madhurima Tuli, new entrants in the world of glamour, talk about their upcoming movie
Cigarette ki Tarah
& its social relevance
Hope is a good thing, maybe one of the best things…' Tim Robbins in the movie Shawshank Redemption was all the time hoping against hope. And it did pay! Walking in almost an hour late, seated right in front of us, two debutant actors Bhoop Yaduvanshi and Madhurima Tuli of the movie Cigarette ki Tarah, would rather get to the business than 'just' hoping. So, they say yes to a movie with a social message and work hard enough to sit here and talk all about what starters experience, whatever little it is.
Bhoop is from a small place in Kanpur on his first date with limelight;
Madhurima, she prefers to say that she is from India, has done television and two-odd films Down South.
The one thing common to them other than Cigratte Ki Tarah is the passion to act and survive without any godfather.
Talking point
In her twelve-year-long career graph that took her to eight different countries, Philipa Baker, head, Corporate Training, British Council, New Delhi, has never come across a team that complained of over-communication. It's always lack of communication that slows down the progress.
Philipa Baker wanted to travel the world and her current profile allows her to do that. "What I really enjoy is meeting so many interesting people, especially here in India," says
Philipa, in Chandigarh on Wednesday for a talk 'Communicate for Success' as well as to be part of the event that gave British Council Membership Cards, sponsored by Central Bank of India, to meritorious students.

Flute exponent Rupak Kulkarni wants to pass on his knowledge, but only to those who want to make flute-playing their profession
Rupak Kulkarni was born in a home steeped in musical tradition. His father Late Pandit Malhar Rao Kulkarni taught him flute and tabla at home; young Rupak took to tabla to begin with. It was only when he was seven that he heard Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia and everything changed then. "I was so mesmerised…flute has been my life since then. I breathe in and breathe out through the flute only!"

True family saga
For sometime we have been hearing that Abhinav Kashyap's next Besharam would have Ranbir Kapoor along with his parents.
Having confirmed that both Rishi and Neetu Kapoor have been signed in by the filmmaker, it was surprising to hear that they won't be seen as his parents. Rather, they will portray Haryanvi cops. Neetu will be the loud, aggressive one while Rishi will be her soft-spoken counterpart.
Sharing screen space: Rishi, Neetu and Ranbir Kapoor
 No show
Anil Kapoor skipped an awards event in Dubai for personal reasons. There were rumours that his demands could not be met and so he did not go. But the truth is that his mother has been hospitalised so he decided to stay back and look after her.
