He also encouraged parents to notice what their children enjoy and support them in it. He said, _“Main ye kehna chahunga jitne bhi maa-baap hain, pata kariye ki aapka beta kis cheez mein interest rakhta hai. Kabhi kabhi hota hai koi padhai-likhai mein interested nahi hai, kisi aur cheez mein interest hai. Koshish kariye usko itna samajhiye ki beta ek education poori kar le, uske baad main tere saath hi hoon. Usko lekin chodiye mat jo woh chahta hai karna.”_
He added that children can have different interests, such as swimming, boxing, martial arts or quizzes and parents can help them continue with those interests. _“Kisi ko swimming ka shauk hai, kisi ko boxing ka shauk hai, kisi ko martial arts ka shauk hai, kisi ko quiz ka shauk hai. Us shauk ko hamesha maa-baap hi poora kar sakte hain.”_
The conversation highlighted how support from parents can help children follow what they enjoy.

Nawaz Modi Singhania & IAS Nidhi Choudhari Inaugurate Nandita Desai’s show The Painted Window
Mumbai witnessed a memorable evening as multi-award-winning contemporary artist Nandita Desai inaugurated her fifth solo exhibition, The Painted Window, at Kamalnayan Bajaj Art Gallery, Nariman Point. Curated by Praful Satokar, the exhibition opened to an enthusiastic gathering of art lovers, eminent guests, and close friends of the artist.
The inauguration was graced by fitness expert Nawaz Modi Singhania and IAS Nidhi Choudhari, who formally opened the exhibition and shared heartfelt reflections on Desai’s journey and the emotional power of her work. The evening was made even more special by the presence of distinguished guests including noted theatre personality Raell Padamsee, philanthropist Dr. Aneel Kashi Murarka, art lover Shekhar Sawant, artists Satyendra Rane, Sangeeta Babani, art collector Mr. Ajoykant Ruia, lensman Himanshu Sheth, among others.
The Painted Window is a simple yet evocative idea: the window as a space of memory, reflection, and connection. Through nearly 50 artworks created on vintage and handcrafted windows, Desai transforms everyday architectural forms into poetic works of art that invite viewers to look both inward and outward. Sourced from abandoned or demolished homes and complemented by handcrafted pieces made with repurposed wood, these windows carry with them a quiet sense of history, intimacy, and renewal.
Speaking at the inauguration, Nawaz Modi Singhania fondly recalled knowing Nandita from her college days at St. Xavier’s College, where Desai was her Ancient Indian Culture professor. She remembered her as a young and engaging teacher who brought even the most complex subjects vividly to life, making them enjoyable and accessible for her students. She also expressed her admiration for Desai’s artistic practice, describing the works as beautiful, alluring, and a reflection of her remarkable talent, while wishing her every success for the exhibition.
Nidhi Choudhari reflected on the emotional and universal significance of windows, describing them as silent witnesses to life’s most personal and shared moments… from dreams and conversations to joy, longing, and memory. She noted that what makes Desai’s exhibition especially moving is its focus on windows from ordinary homes rather than ornate or grand structures, allowing the works to feel simple, familiar, and profoundly relatable. She observed that viewers may find echoes of their own lives in these pieces: a grandmother’s home, a childhood memory, or a quiet corner of their own past.
Drawing from her childhood memories of moving homes and finding solace beside windows, Desai approaches these forms as metaphors for balance between one’s inner life and the world beyond. Her use of glass colours, natural oxide polishes, stains, varnishes, wax crayons, shellac, oils, acrylics, pastels, jute, and hemp reflects her longstanding affinity for natural materials and textured surfaces. The result is a body of work that feels both nostalgic and fresh… grounded in material history, yet alive with contemporary expression.
Nandita Desai’s The Painted Window will be on view at Kamalnayan Bajaj Art Gallery, Bajaj Bhavan, Nariman Point, Mumbai, until 21 March 2026, daily from 11 am to 7 pm

Sunil Pal, Producer Gaurav Mishra, Director Shripati Mishra, and Actors Ajit Pandit, Madhulagna Das, Attend "Love and Ghost" Trailer Launch
Mumbai: Amidst the prevailing trend of horror films in Bollywood, another romantic horror movie—titled "Love and Ghost"—is set to arrive soon. The powerful trailer for this film, directed by Shripati Mishra and produced by Gaurav Mishra, was grandly launched at the IMPPA Theatre in Mumbai, where comedian Sunil Pal was present as the chief guest. Also in attendance at the event were the film's lead actor, Ajeet Pandit, and actresses Madhulagna Das and Urmila Sharma.
Chief Guest Sunil Pal expressed his appreciation for the film's trailer and extended his best wishes to the entire team for the movie's success. He remarked that he shares a deep friendship with Director Shripati Mishra, noting that he is as fine a human being as he is a director.
Director Shripati Mishra stated, "We created this film inspired from various horror stories. The entire movie was shot in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. I place great emphasis on selecting excellent locations for my films; hence, we chose to film this project amidst the scenic valleys of Dehradun. I always strive to do something unique, and this film, too, stands apart from other horror movies. I have been associated with the industry for 25 to 30 years, and all that accumulated experience proved invaluable during this project. The biggest challenge in making a horror film is the significant amount of time required for VFX work."
Ehsan Khan plays a pivotal role in the film as a *Tantric* (occult practitioner). The movie features two songs, and all the cast members have acted with immense hard work and dedication. "The shooting continued until 3:00 AM."
The film's protagonist, Ajeet Pandit, stated that everyone involved worked extremely hard to create this movie. "My character is such that you will find yourself feeling both affection and anger towards him at different times. At moments, he will appear to be in the right, while at others, he will seem to be in the wrong. That is precisely the unique essence of this character. The film features suspense, thrills, and even a ghost; I am hopeful that, just as the trailer has been well-received, the film itself will be appreciated by audiences in theaters."
Madhulagna Das, an actress who has worked in numerous South Indian films, considers herself very fortunate to be a part of this Bollywood production. She expressed her gratitude to the producer and director for selecting her for this role. "We shot several scenes underwater, as well as some amidst mountains and rocky terrain—sequences that proved to be extremely challenging. I hope the audience enjoys the film."
Actress Urmila Sharma plays the role of the female lead's mother. She thoroughly enjoyed her time shooting in Dehradun.
Producer Gaurav Mishra presents *Love & Ghost* under the banner of Rudraksh Movies & Entertainment. He mentioned that he has harbored a keen interest in film production for quite some time. "When writer-director Shripathi Mishra narrated the concept to me, I was instantly captivated and immediately set about bringing it to life. I was introduced to the director through our lead actress, Madhulagna Das. We are also currently collaborating with him on another film titled *Asli Chehra*, which he is directing as well."
Produced under the banner of Ratna Shri Films in association with B.L. Films & TV Production, *Love & Ghost* is produced by Gaurav Mishra, Anant Singh, Kshatrapati Mishra, and Praddep Siingh. The film's crew includes Executive Producers Shiv Narayan Rawat and Chandra Mohan Pandey; Music Composer Keshav Anand; Lyricist Varsha Saxena; Line Producer Sanjay Maithani; DOP Umesh Chand Rai; and Action Director Irfan Khan. The cast features Ajeet Pandit, Madhulagna Das, Ehsan Khan, Urmila Sharma, Mohit Pandey, Kaushal Sharma, Shiv Narayan Rawat, and Kuldeep Aswal. The film is slated for release in theaters very soon.

Sony Entertainment Television’s ‘Vashikaranam – Kis Par Rakhein Vishwas’ to premiere today; Snehlata Vasaikar and Milind Dastane lead the cast
16th March 2026 Mumbai: Sony Entertainment Television’s latest offering, Vashikaranam – Kis Par Rakhein Vishwas, has already sparked intrigues among audiences. The recently released trailer has drawn attention with its eerie tone.
The show explores the story of Suman, a mysterious and commanding woman whose influence over an entire village sparks questions about belief, fear, and trust. Her presence is so powerful that people rarely dare to question her decisions, and the atmosphere around her is filled with an uneasy mix of reverence and apprehension.
At the centre of the narrative is Suman, portrayed by Snehlata Vasaikar, whose layered and enigmatic character drives the story forward. While some villagers see her as a figure of strength and guidance, others doubt the source of her power. Among those closely connected to this mysterious world is Tatya, played by Milind Dastane. A respected and ambitious man in the village who appears to value family and stability. However, beneath his composed exterior lies a web of secrets and inner conflicts that complicate his relationships and raise questions about what he truly knows about
Talking about portraying Tatya, Milind Dastane said, “Tatya is a very ambitious character. On the surface, he appears to be a respected man in the village and someone who wants a happy and stable family life. However, circumstances and his own decisions have complicated that dream. He carries many secrets and emotional conflicts within him. While the villagers see him as a good and responsible person, his personal life is far more complex, especially because he knows truths that even his own children are unaware of. This internal conflict makes Tatya a very intriguing character to portray.”
Produced by Yelkotti Productions OPC Pvt Ltd and directed by Avinash Waghmare, the show also features Deepak Simwal as Madhav, along with Ujjwal Tathe, Swati Bhingadive, Sharad Gurav, Chandan Jamdade, Sweta Naik, and Manoj Kolatkar, who each bring unique layers to the gripping narrative.
Vashikaranam airs from Monday to Friday at 10:15 PM on Sony Entertainment Television and will also stream on Sony LIV.

Akshay moves towards the director of the film Ankit Sakhiya to understand whether he holds the same views as his team members. Ankit expands the response by explaining that the drive to achieve something substantial is often a legacy passed down through generations. He states _“Sir, jaise inhone bola jigra bada hota hain, kuch bada karke dikhana hota hain, kyuki humare papa ya dada ne aisa hi mahol banake rakha hota hain ki kuch karke dikhana hain, sir mujhe lagata hain sab soch ka khel hain”._ Akshay positively accepts the views of Ankit regarding the business mindset of Gujarati culture.
Akshay, adding to the conversation, decides to come up with his known witty and interesting ideology and shares it with the team of “Laalo”. He adds _“Mujhe pata hain kya lagta hain?
