“Change is inevitable. Nothing is permanent but change’’. Some welcome the challenge with a smile while others reject it.
This will come alive in the life of Shikha aka Aiswariya Sakuja from Sony Entertainment Television’s popular thriller Main Naa Bhoolungi. Life will throw a series of challenges at Shikha and she will try to overcome them one at a time. Now, she is faced with a new test of confidence! Shikha will be transformed from an ordinary, simple looking girl to a beautiful and desirable young woman and she has to face this major change head-on.
Life will come full circle for the timid Shikha, who was duped and mislead by rosy dreams of a marital life only to realise that she was merely a pawn in a cruel game plan of her beloved husband.
While most may break due to the grief of betrayal, a few fight back with rejuvenated energy to face the world yet again! Amidst her agony, Shikha will arise like a phoenix from the ashes, donning a completely glamorous look and with a new determination to extract her revenge.
Shikha will be seen in an ultra-modern avatar while she plans her revenge on her ex-husband Sameer (Vikas Manaktala) who had tried to kill her for his selfish motives.
Transforming Shikha to achieve this and help her re-claim her lost confidence will be creative designer Swapnil Shinde, whose vision and support allows Shikha to discover her core of confidence.
. Talking about the transformation Swapnil Shinde says, “It gives me immense pleasure to get associated with Sony Entertainment Television and its extremely popular show Mein Na Bhoolungi. SONY has always lived up to its mantra of offering unique and exceptional entertainment to its viewers. It was great fun to work on a new appearance for Aishwariya. The ‘revelation’ gown for Aishwarya exemplifies glamour, sex appeal and ethereal beauty… The bustier of the gown is made in metallic golden sheeted fabric, whereas the skirt is made of fluid chiffon inspired by the Greek goddesses. The idea was to make Aishwarya look like she has been moulded in gold to give her a strong and confident appeal.”
Tune in to Main Naa Bhoolungi on 25th February 2014, at 8 pm only on Sony Entertainment Television

Socially Responsible- Celebrities who choose to make a difference
Bollywood is undoubtedly one of the most powerful mediums to communicate strong and sincere messages. The celebrities, with their fan following, create a difference by voicing their opinions on social causes. They have moved beyond Box Office triumphs. Apart from being actors, these individuals are aware of their social responsibilities and use their star quotient as a tool to meet a bigger and larger cause, for the good of the people.
Many Bollywood celebrities have been sincerely working on issues they care passionately about and their association doesn’t end with their film projects. Here we present some Bollywood actors, who understand their larger purpose in the transformation and betterment of the society.
Salman Khan has bettered lives, saved many and given them hope, all thanks to the charity work of Being Human. Proceeds from his initiatives like Being Human Merchandise and Being Human Art, go towards healthcare and education for the underprivileged.
Actor Arjun Rampal, known to be closely associated with PETA, along with representatives from the organization, recently met Maharashtra State Forest Minister to hand-deliver a letter. The letter urged the minister to take immediate action in order to ensure that 14-year-old abused elephant Sunder was transferred to a sanctuary from the temple in Kolhapur. Madhuri Dixit, Amitabh Bachchan, Raveena Tandon, R Madhavan, and many other celebrities took to Twitter to support his case to #FreeSunder.
Dia Mirza has been supporting various social organizations, ever since she was crowned the Miss India Asia- Pacific in 2000. Working closely with ‘ADAPT’ (Able Disable All People Together), Dia has been deeply empathetic about the cause. She had also participated in a rally organized by the society to push for building ramps, elevators and adjusted toilets in public places. She has been closely associated with Cancer Patients Aid Association, and has worked with the Government of Andhra Pradesh to spread HIV awareness and prevent female foeticide. John Abraham, a firm believer in social work thanks to his mother, is closely associated with PETA. Last year, he sent a letter to Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), urging them to put a ban on the use of elephants in circuses. He was also seen supporting Make A Wish foundation, where he made dreams of many terminally ill children come true.
Deepika Padukone is a sports enthusiast and has been a national-level badminton player. Her passion for sports drives her to work for Olympic Gold Quest, a support group for athletes and sportspersons, started by her father, legendary Badminton player Prakash Padukone. Olympic Gold Quest scouts for potential medal talent, helps identify areas of support, and works with all stakeholders to aid deserving talent. Amit Sadh, too, does his bit frequently, by promoting cycling, the environment-friendly commute. The actor recently participated in Tour De India’s Green Cyclothon, in Mumbai and at the Buddh International Circuit (BIC) in Greater Noida. Apart from this, the ‘Kai Po Che’ actor also played at a charity match, with the All Stars football Club.
It’s wonderful to know, that these actors, in their own way are trying to contribute to the society. Being socially aware is one thing, and being socially responsible is another. Every effort taken to help never goes unnoticed. Kudos to these actors and we hope they continue to make a difference and lead such exemplary lives.

Brief: -
In the months of February to April every year, the Andaman Islands become a popular yachting destination for worldwide enthusiasts. During this time, a number of yachts sail to the Andaman Islands – most of them from Thailand or other Asian countries. February & March are considered the best months for cruising in the Andaman Islands when the sea is calm and the weather is gorgeous. The islands have a unique appeal for being exclusive, remote & of course stunningly beautiful.
The Andaman Islands in the warm, tropical waters of the Indian Ocean are one of the world’s newest yachting destinations. These islands in the Bay of Bengal of the Andaman sea are territorially a part of India, but geographically closer to Myanmar or Thailand. After a 50-year period of virtual isolation from the outside world, the Indian government has made a decision to allow limited, environmentally conscious tourism development in the islands. Visiting the Andaman Islands really is a special adventure. Only 26 of these 576 islands are inhabited. Beneath the waves lie reefs barely touched and hardly seen by other divers.
Yachts & other vessels with foreign flags are permitted to come into the Andaman Islands for up to one month at a time. Sailing yachts, high end yachts, motor yachts & live-aboards all make their way here during the season months. The yachts offer activities such as cruising, game fishing, angling, scuba diving, or surfing.
For further details, please refer the attached press note.

Narendra Chanchal will be honoured in Mumbai on
March 2, 2014
When one thinks about Jagran or Mata Ki Chowki, then the one name that comes to mind is Narendra Chanchal. For 45 years, he has kept the flame lit up with his bhajans for Durga Maa. On 2nd March 2014, he will be honoured at BEC Ground (Bombay Exhibition Center), Highway Goregoan(East), Mumbai by Radhe Maa Charitable Trust during Bhagwati Jagran.
Narendra Chanchal will sing on the occasion of Radhe Maa’s birthday. “I am coming to Mumbai without any commercial interest and I have faith in Radhe Maa.I feel blessed by Radhe Maa.Whenever I get an opportunity, I go and meet her.,” he says.
As a kid, Narendra Chanchal learnt about bhakti watching his mother praying. He too became a devotee of Durga Maa. Every year he conducts Jagran or Mata Ki Chowki for Durga Maa and releases 2 or 3 bhakti albums every year. The world famous singer Narendra Chanchal has always enthrall people with his melodious voice even in different countries like U.S. , Canada , Europe , Australia etc.
Disapproving Bhajan’s in Bollywood tunes he says “It does not suit our culture and civilization. Folk songs and music of Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, etc. are quite nice and cozy, bhajans or devotional songs should be made on these tunes rather than using Western tunes. Guys do this for cheap popularity, which is wrong. ”

SUNNY LEONE SHOOTS IN A SNAKE-FILLED LAKE FOR RAGINI MMS-2
Ragini MMS – 2, the forthcoming horror-erotica film, contains a horror-packed scene shot inside a lake. In fact, there is even a fleeting shot of the said scene in the film’s trailer.
It appears at the point when Sunny’s co-star follows her to a lake hoping to make love to her.
The lake was in Vasai on the outskirts of Mumbai, in a scary and quiet location. The said scene had to be shot at midnight when the water was cold, so as to get the desired effect. Sunny had to dip into the water to give her best shot but was petrified because the lake was quite a walk from her vanity van. There was also talk of water snakes.
The scene took an entire night to shoot and Sunny fell ill the following day and developed a minor skin allergy.
“I saw dead fish. The water was dirty,” said Sunny. “I was scared as hell,” she added.

India – Feb. 25, 2014 – Today McAfee announced a full-featured version of its award-winning McAfee Mobile Security is now available at no cost in 30 languages, as part of an Intel Corporation initiative to make security a more integrated part of the consumer experience. The free version of McAfee’s security app for Android includes enhanced protection features and, for the first time, unlocks security extensions for Intel-based mobile devices, making it the most comprehensive free mobile solution for consumers on the market. McAfee also recently launched McAfee Mobile Security for iOS, which is also available free of charge.
Earlier this year at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich announced plans to offer elements of McAfee’s award-winning security solutions for mobile devices for free, and today’s announcement is an important milestone in that plan.
“We live in an unprecedented era of always-connected devices, where security and privacy protection are fundamental,” said John Giamatteo, senior vice president and general manager, McAfee consumer business. “With free access to our award-winning mobile security product, consumers are free to experience everything this connected world has to offer, without fear of their personal information being compromised.”
McAfee Mobile Security Now Available Free for Consumers
McAfee Mobile Security, available for immediate download in the Google Play Store, now offers its comprehensive, award-winning protection against privacy and security threats at no cost to consumers. According to McAfee’s findings from the 2014 Love, Relationships & Technology survey, consumers are sharing and storing more information than ever, without taking the necessary steps to protect their mobile devices.
With privacy and identity in mind, McAfee Mobile Security for Android is designed to prevent privacy invasions, data loss, identity theft and device disappearances. It includes anti-theft, anti-virus, app protection, Web protection, call and SMS filtering. In AV-Test’s most recent effectiveness test for mobile security products, McAfee Mobile Security received a 100% detection score and was given a top ranking among the 30 vendors that participated in the independent test.
McAfee recently launched McAfee® Mobile Security for iOS devices, featuring a number of comprehensive protection options previously available only to Android users. Available for free, the software provides iPhone and iPad users with a secure vault for private content, secure camera, jailbreak detection, backup capabilities and more.
Enhanced McAfee Mobile Security
Android malware almost tripled from 2012 to 2013, according to McAfee’s third Consumer Mobile Security Report. The latest version of McAfee Mobile Security, including the free version, is now equipped with several new features that are designed to protect consumers against security vulnerabilities and address the problems created by lost or stolen devices. The new Wi-Fi Security feature allows users to connect to any Wi-Fi network with confidence, knowing that McAfee will alert them to any risky or non-password protected networks that they may be connecting to.
In 2012, 1.6 million Americans fell victim to smartphone theft, and stolen mobile phones cost consumers over $30 billion¹. To combat this, when there is suspicious activity such as multiple incorrect attempts to unlock the device, users can activate a new CaptureCam to snap a picture of the person holding the device. The picture, along with the location, is sent to the account owner, revealing who is in possession of the lost or stolen device. A new SOS feature will also save the last location of a device before the battery runs out.
McAfee Mobile Security now provides new kernel-level security extensions through integration with Intel Device Protection Technology. This technology helps to proactively block and secure devices from malware delivered through malicious applications and websites while minimizing impact to performance and conserving battery power, when paired with a security service such as McAfee Mobile Security.
Industry Leadership
McAfee is expanding its mobile footprint by continuing to partner with some of the industry’s top global brands. Verizon and LG have just been added to its list of over 110 partners. By partnering with these leading brands, both companies are coordinating and leveraging their strengths to help keep consumers safe while connecting with their mobile devices.
McAfee at Mobile World Congress
At Mobile World Congress, McAfee and Intel will be providing demos of McAfee Mobile Security at the Intel booth #3D30, Hall 3.
