The theme of the fashion show was 'Healthy is Hot, Zero is Not' and 'Curvy is In, Skinny is Out'.

Anu informed "Walking the ramp were eminent personalities from the Entertainment & Fashion industry. This time along with awareness of female foeticide, we also wanted to send the message across to young impressionable girls to eat healthy.

It is alarming that many young girls are now falling prey to eating disorders with disastrous consequences. Instances of anorexia, anaemia and osteoporosis are high in young girls and the message to eat healthy and eat right should be sent across to girls."

Press Conference & Interaction for the film "Chhodo Kal Ki Baatein"

Anupam Kher walked as a blind man!! He was fully in his character

Anupam Kher and Director Pramod Joshi interacted with media and share their

wonderful moments and experiences while making the film .

And they share the story of Anupam Kher’s strong blind characterization that is very interesting.

Pramod Joshi Says," Anupam Kher first time doing a role of visually impaired man and he is only the person who convinced me for this role.And no doubt as always he did his job perfectly.In fact Anupam was so involved in his character and he truly believed that this change will definitely work.And I'm happy he convinced me about it

Press Release

Sai Prasad Media Pvt Ltd' Bilingual Film Chhodo Kal Ki Baatien Releasing 12th April,2012 All Over India.

Veteran actor Anupam Kher will make his Bilingual film in a role in the Chhodo kal Ki Baatien (Hindi) and Kashaala Udyachi Baat’ (Marathi) – by the Sai Prasad Group, a conglomerate which is into foods, properties, finance, infrastructure, construction, energy, media and entertainment. Producer By Balasaheb Bhapkar and Shanshank Bhapkar.

The story of Anupam Kher’s strong blind characterisation is very interesting! During the first day of shoot, Director Pramod Gajanan Joshi didn't know what came to his mind ,when just 15 minutes before the first day of shooting Anupam Kher announced to the director that he wanted his character of a social commentator to be blind! “When Anupam ji told me about this thought, it’s true that I was completely taken aback. He then understood my side and asked to hold the shoot for an hour just to think about it. Still I was not getting convinced since we have been working on the script from 4 months. My query was simple: How can u make such a vital change? Then we sat and had discussion and during which he actually in acted the scene in our room, which was ready for the shoot outside. This exercise was encouraging enough to make me understand what he was trying to convey. And the line thought occurred in my mind - a blind person giving vision to normal person,” said Pramod Gajanan Joshi.

Pramod Joshi added, “Luckily for next 7 days we were supposed to shoot a song sequence and after which the next schedule was planned with a gap of one month. So I had time to make necessary changes in the script. We did this and they worked wonderfully. In fact Anupam was so involved in the character and he truly believed that this change will definitely work. And I’m happy he convinced me about it.”

Anupam doesn't deny the last-minute change in the script saying, "I did ask for my character to be turned blind. The idea came to me as I was going up in the lift to the location of the shooting. My character is supposed to be a social commentator. How much more effective his comments on the world around us would be if he was blind. I was actually inspired by a line from Swami Vivekananda who said, 'If there's anything worse than a man who cannot see, it's a man without vision.' My character's comments on the world all around him are so much sharper because he can't see."
