Sonu Sood gets critically-ill Covid patient airlifted from Jhansi to Hyderabad

Actor Sonu Sood arranged for a critically ill Covid patient to be airlifted from Jhansi to Hyderabad after doctors at the local hospital said the treatment wouldn’t be possible in Jhansi any longer.

The patient, Kailash Agarwal’s CT score was just a point below the highest permissible limit, and the family, while searching for a hospital with better infrastructure, put in a request to Sonu.

The actor and his team got into action, which led to the availability of an ICU bed with a ventilator facility in Hyderabad.

“Doctors had asked the patient to be shifted to a bigger hospital, and the challenge was to get the necessary permissions from the District Magistrates in order to get the air ambulance and get the transfer done. As there are no airports at Jhansi, the air ambulance had to pick up the patient from Gwalior, and it was another major challenge to bring the patient from Jhansi to Gwalior. But the team came through and got everything set up so that no time was wasted. The treatment is going on well at Apollo Hospital, Hyderabad, and we hope for the best,” Sonu told IANS.

As per the latest reports, the patient is stable and is responding to treatment.

Shilpa Shetty’s note to encourage fans: Believe it will get better from here

Actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra took to Instagram on Monday to share a motivating message for her fans.

She posted a picture that shows her meditating in the mountains, with the text: “Overthinking will destroy your happiness and your mood. It’ll make everything worse than it actually is. Take a deep breath, exhale and have faith. What’s meant to be, will be.”

In the caption, she wrote about how we must try to help those who we can. She also spoke about the importance of believing that the situation will get better with time.

“We’re all reading about the actual situation around us and it is absolutely devastating. This news plays on the mind all the time and leads the mind to very dark places. But then, there are posts and news about complete strangers helping people desperately in need of help. People who are cooking meals for COVID patients living alone, volunteers driving down to people needing medical assistance, and doctors providing information and guidance via online sessions. So reassuring! If we can do something for someone, we definitely must! But if not, don’t panic excessively. Tune out for a little while, inhale deeply, and believe that it will get better from here. Live in the NOW. Together, we WILL overcome this. We will walk through this time towards a better tomorrow. Faith and hope are what we need right now,” she wrote.

The actress will be seen in “Hungama 2”, the sequel to the 2003 film “Hungama”. The film also stars Paresh Rawal, Meezaan Jaaferi, and Pranitha Subhas. Shilpa will also be seen in the film “Nikamma”, starring Abhimanyu Dassani and Shirley Setia.

Soundarya Sharma: Challenging to play de-glam role at start of career

Actress Soundarya Sharma plays a girl next door on season two of the web series “Raktanchal”, and says it is a challenge to essay such a de-glamorized role at the start of her career.

Based on true events, the story casts her as a simple homemaker who weaves her way into the world of politics because of the circumstances she had to face to protect her family.

“I play the character of Rolly Rai. This is a simple girl next door. It’s set in the 1980s. Season one was an introduction and in season two, I take over. I play the female protagonist,” she declares.

“This is about how this simple girl weaves her path into the world of politics to save her family and loved ones from getting completely destroyed. This is her journey and how she powers herself and her loved ones. She has to step into dirty politics to protect her family,” Soundarya added.

About the show, she added: “It has an old charm and it takes a hard line. It’s very challenging to play de-glamorous at the beginning of my career. I sat with the makers to design this look so that it looks very unconventional and not how we have seen this young 22-23-year-old girl. It’s inspired by true events so we can’t play around too much with the character,” she said.

“Since it’s set in purvanchal so it has got that UP touch to it,” she summed up.

Kangana: People using oxygen should pledge to work on improving air quality

Actress Kangana Ranaut on Monday urged people to plant more trees even as the demand for oxygen goes up in the country with rising Covid-19 cases. She says people using oxygen should pledge to work on improving air quality.

“Everybody is building more and more oxygen plants, getting tons and tons of oxygen cylinders, how are we compensating for all the oxygen that we are forcefully drawing from the environment? It seems we learned nothing from our mistakes and catastrophes they cause #PlantTrees’,” Kangana wrote on Twitter.

She added: “Along with announcing more and more oxygen for humans, governments must announce relief for nature also, people who are using this oxygen should also pledge to work on improving the air quality, for how long we are going to be miserable pests only taking never giving back to nature?”

She said that if life forms start disappearing from the earth’s surface it would affect the fertility of the soil.

“Remember any other life if it disappears from earth even microbes or insects it will affect the fertility of the soil and Mother Earth’s health, she will miss them but if humans disappear Earth will only and only flourish, if you aren’t her lover or child, you are just unnecessary #PlantTrees,” Kangana said.

Shweta Tripathi: I’m an advocate of sustainable fashion

Actress Shweta Tripathi encourages sustainable fashion for the sake of the environment.

“I am a big advocate of sustainable fashion and I think if one is conscious of the environment, they’d always choose ethical clothing over anything else. Right from thrift stores to second-hand shopping, I’d like to encourage people to indulge in these practices and make a difference,” Shweta said.

The actress treats her clothes with a lot of love and cares to ensure they are not torn or damaged.

“The problem is that everyone thinks someone else will save the world. It’s time to be that someone. If we all do our little bit, the world will be in a better place. I’d also like to tell people that even when it comes to sourcing for shoots, we try our best to cut down on new things,” she added.

In the upcoming web series, the thriller “Escaype Live”, Shweta wears her own footwear.

“For my character in Escape Live, I’m wearing my own footwear as opposed to buying new ones because if there’s something that already fits, I think it’s really unnecessary to purchase new ones,” she said.

Salman Khan announces advance booking of ‘Radhe’ in UAE

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan announced on Sunday that advance booking for his upcoming film “Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai” has started in the United Arab Emirates. The film is scheduled to release globally on the occasion of Eid, on May 13.

“#Radhe ki advance bookings ho gayi hain shuru for the UAE. Milte hain theatres mein (advance bookings for Radhe have started for the UAE. See you in theatres). Stay safe!” the actor wrote addressing his UAE fans on his verified Twitter account, @BeingSalmanKhan.

Salman shared his note on the microblogging site along with a poster of the film featuring him with actress Disha Patani. Salman hits action hero mode in the photo, wearing cool shades and brandishing a gun.

Although the Prabhu Deva-directed action drama will release on the big screen in many countries abroad, it is unlikely to keep its date with a theatrical release in India given the current Covid situation, which has forced closure of cinema halls. With less than a fortnight to go for the film’s release, Salman fans in India will have to watch the film digitally. The film will simultaneously release on May 13 on the pay-per-view platform Zeeplex.

Shibani Bedi: Everyone has a social responsibility

Social media content creator and actress Shibani Bedi, who was recently seen in the film “Flight”, says every public figure has a certain responsibility when it comes to young fans.

“I understand that people who are famous, everyone has a social responsibility because if you are popular, there are people looking up to you. So, you either help them recondition and rewire their outlook towards world or you fuel it and make it worse. So, you make it imperative for people to choose wisely as to what to put out in the world for their,” Shibani said.

On social media, too, the actress says that she doesn’t engage in topics that can have an adverse effect on young minds.

“I have realised through the course of being online, I am not a very problematic person. May be because of the exposure I have had growing up or the careers I have juggled before I came down to doing this (being a content creator on social media), I am not irresponsible as a human being,” she declared.

“That makes it easier for me as a person to not be very polarised or critical of certain things or go out of my way to lambast something I don’t agree with or trivialise or be insensitive towards people whose lives I don’t understand,” she added.
