Model-actor goes for better roles
Chandigarh, June 18 Now that the starlet is on right track, she is looking up professionally. The confidence she exudes is new; the point she makes is valid than before. As you discover just how much she has under her belt, you know exactly where the new found composure is coming from. "My career is moving upwards. I encounter an element of growth every day. It is a gratifying feeling," says Neha, who was in Chandigarh today to hold an interactive session with the students of Flying Cats in Sector 8. Her brief stay was loaded with meetings in which she gave tips in grooming to the students of the air hostess training school. For her part, Neha has been famous for stylistic trespasses -- both in appearance and in on-screen roles. "Julie" marked the beginning of her off-track career which has taken a while to straighten out. The film came with a "baggage"- one that Neha handled well. It is no surprise then that she still cherishes the role. Ask her if she has ever regretted having accepted the role of a call girl, and Neha reasons, "Not once. I value the role for the challenges it posed. Complexity was inherent in the nature of "Julie". It was this complexity which helped me mature." Since "Julie", Neha has evolved as an actress though she has not yet made her presence felt at the box office. In near future, however, she might have a chance to make some waves. Recently one of her films was launched at the IIFA awards ceremony. This one is a Bollywood venture of the super hit South Indian film "Chandramukhi" which was chosen to open IIFA this year. And then there is more -Hansal Mehta directed "Das Kahaniyaan" and another film titled "Shoot Out" opposite Sanjay Dutt. But more than anything else, it is the role opposite Naseeruddin Shah in "Mithia" which fires Neha's imagination the most. "The excitement is natural. When you get a chance to work with such a gifted actor, you can't but consider yourself blessed. But with the feeling of joy comes the feeling of anxiety. I am conscious of my role but will do my best," says Neha. "Mithia" will perhaps be one of the few realistic films in Neha's kitty. At the heart of the script is the struggle of a man who enters Mumbai with dreams in heart. The story, to be directed by Rajat Kapur, is about the realisation of those dreams. "Shoot out" is another film based on a true life story of a gangster, as Neha explains, "This one is equally meaty when it comes to the script. It will be released shortly." Apart from films, Neha is engaged in some purposeful productions these days. As part of "Haath se Haath Mila" - a BBC documentary on the spread of HIV/AIDS in India and the need to combat it - Neha has been learning a great deal about the infection herself. In fact, she is all for enhanced media focus on the subject that deserves our urgent attention. |

Neha Dhupia interacts with students
Chandigarh, June 18 The focus during the two-hour long session was on personality enhancement — an area that is being treated with more respect than ever before. At the school, which has come up with the efforts of Priyanka Khosla, students will be taught to be smarter and sharper. Only a few days ago, Aditi Govitrikar was in Chandigarh to kick start the series of grooming session which will later be held by the likes of speech and diction expert Sabira Merchant, fashion diva Malaika Arora, model Zulfi Sayeed, Miss India 2005 Amrita Thapar and make—up guru Cory Walia. Today, however, it was time for students of the school to pose questions to the former Miss India who has been in the news for her latest release “Chup Chup Ke”. She has earlier worked for Priyadarshan in “Garam Masala”, her other films being “Teesri Aankh”, “Kya Kool Hai Hum”, “Sheesha”, “Rakht” and “Julie”. Speaking on the occasion today, Neha Dhupia said the idea of running an academy with the purpose of churning out smart professionals was great. “A special focus on aviation industry is interesting for the simple reason that the industry is witnessing a boom. Other arms of the service industry are equally lucrative these days. So there is a lot of hope for youngsters who join Flying Cats.” |

Sacked lab technicians cry foul
Chandigarh, June 18 These employees have also been asking for implementation of sub rule (v) (a) of the Contractual Labour Regulation and Abolition Act 1970 which says that in cases where the workman employed by the contractor performs similar work as the workman employed by the principal employer (GMCH-32 in this case), wage rates…and other service conditions of the two shall be the same. At a press conference held yesterday, the terminated lab technicians said that the GMCH-32 had not implemented the above stated rule despite repeated instruction issued by Chandigarh DC, who is also the Labour
Commissioner and competent authority to hear the dispute in question. Incidentally, due to non implementation of the said rule, licence of the contractor who employed the 43 technicians in question has not been renewed since January 1 this year. As per law, in a situation where none of the two parties involved in a matter — contractor and principal employer — are registered, contract workers are deemed to be employees of the principal employer which is the GMCH in this case. The technicians, however, allege that the hospital authorities are not recognizing them as employees. Instead they have been terminated unjustifiably. The trouble started on May 15 this year when the technicians in question sat in a dharna against the management’s unyielding attitude. “We had given the management a notice of 15 days to give us unpaid balance and implement sub rule (v) (a). The notice period ended on June 12 and we sat on dharna on May 15. However on May 18 we received letters stating that if we don’t join service on May 18 (the same day on which we received the letter), our services will be terminated. We called off the dharna that very day.” The technicians showed some of these letters, which had been posted on May 17 after 5.30 pm by speed post. They said, “The authorities knew the letter would not reach us until May 18 — the day they wanted us to join. This shows they wanted to terminate us. They had even recruited other people even before terminating our services for which they have not even followed procedures.” The technicians however want the GMCH-32 to consider their rightful demands and take them back in service. |
