The Covid-19 lockdown phase is proving to be the most challenging time for our country. The greatest battle we face in this #WarAgainstCovid19 is to adequately arm our frontline medical staff. Effectively they are our soldiers in this fight and to protect them with Personal Protective Equipment (Ppe) is the need of the hour.
Understanding the critical shortage of Ppe kits for the medical staff across India, Bollywood actress Vidya Balan pledged to individually donate 1000 Ppe kits to the frontline healthcare staff. The actress also collaborated with India’s largest celebrity shout-out platform Tring (www.tring.co.in) to raise donations to provide additional 1000 Ppe kits, in association with Manish Mundra of Drishyam Films and photographer/producer Atul Kasbekar. For donations made through Tring, Vidya Balan is recognising the support of every donor by sending the donor a personal thank you video message, and a chance for 2-minute video call with her.

Author, filmmaker and cancer survivor Tahira Kashyap Khurrana, the wife of actor Ayushmann Khurrana, says that as a budding filmmaker she does not feel the pressure of achieving something to match the success level of her National Award-winning husband.
Tahira has made a short film titled "Toffee" in the past, and now she is gearing up for a couple of new film projects. Being the wife of one of Bollywood's brightest young talents, though, she has seen success and failure very closely and she doesn't feel the pressure.
"His (Ayushmann) journey is really inspirational for anyone and especially for me, who has seen everything from a close counter. After his first superhit film ("Vicky Donor"), when he was going through a dull phase in his career, he did not give up and pack his bags for Chandigarh. Anyone who is struggling in life to make a successful career would find his journey inspirational.

Here’s some cool music news for the upcoming film Tumhari Sulu, starring Vidya Balan.
You probably know, singing sensation Guru Randhawa from his mammoth chartbuster, ‘Suit Suit’ when it was recreated for the film Hindi Medium. In fact, the song became an even bigger hit than before. Now the boy from Gurdaspur is set to see his other hit, ‘Ban Ja Tu Meri Rani’, which boasts of more than 25 million online views, make its way into T-Series and Ellipsis Entertainment’s forthcoming family comedy-drama, Tumhari Sulu.
Apparently Arjun Kapoor recommended the track to producer Bhushan Kumar. Says Arjun, ”I came across the track online because I love Guru Randhawa’s voice and music. I suggested it to Bhushan sir for Mubarakan. Unfortunately it didn’t fit into our film’s narrative but finally it made its way into my friends’ (Tanuj Garg, Atul Kasbekar) movie, Tumhari Sulu, so I am happy.

One of the film’s we have our eye on is the Vidya Balan starred Tumhari Sulu. In the contemporary dra-medy Vidya Balan will play the lead, Sulochana, fondly known as Sulu. Sulu lands herself an unexpected job of a beautiful, fun and feisty Rj who anchors a late-night show, known for its voyeuristic quality and semi-adult shenanigans.
Talking about her role Vidya told us, “I play a late night radio jockey. I think that is going to be fun. It is going to see the naughty side of me in that. I can’t wait for that because I think it has been a while since smiled or laughed in a film. I’ve been doing intense stuff for a while.”
The film also stars theatre ace Manav Kaul who will play Sulu’s husband, Neha Dhupia who will essay the role of a radio boss,and Rj Malishka who will make her Bollywood debut with the film as a radio jockey. The quirky slice-of-life comedy, is directed by noted ad filmmaker Suresh Triveni.
After 2 months, the film has wrapped and it seems the cast and crew had an amazing time on set during the shoot of the film. In fact Vidya posted to the director, “Thank you for the most unique, exceptional, blessed, love-filled experience called Tumhari Sulu.”
