Agri dept, min & actor come forward to help Latur farmer
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Ambadas Pawar , the 65-year-old farmer from Latur whose act of pulling a plough went viral, has started to receive significant assistance. Following the widespread attention, the agriculture department and local NCP MLA and cooperation minister Babasaheb Patil have stepped in to help. Despite his long career in farming, Pawar notably lacked a Kisan credit card. However, agricultural authorities have now fast-tracked his enrollment for one. "Pawar is likely to get the Kisan credit card in a day or two and could avail affordable credit from the government among other benefits. We also offered him fertilisers and humic acid for the Kharif season," Shivsamb Lakde, Latur district superintendent of agriculture, told TOI on Thursday. Patil has pledged to clear Pawar's outstanding loan of Rs40,000 and provide additional assistance. "I contacted the family and have assured them of all possible help in my capacity and through the govt," Pawar said. Actor Sonu Sood, in a post on X, said he is ready to provide oxen to Pawar. The actor, who runs the Sood Charity Foundation, said Pawar would be unable to drive a tractor and therefore providing oxen is a better proposition. Speaking with the reporters, Pawar said nobody approached him for actual help except the agriculture department. "I haven't received any money to clear my debt. I got a call from Sood and he promised to come to my village by Saturday," he said. Pawar expressed concern about the upbringing of his two grandchildren and mentioned that he needs help with their education as well.

'It was more than affair...', This actress made shocking revelations while talking about Shammi Kapoor's wife, her name is...
Veteran actress Mumtaz has once again spoken about Late Shammi Kapoor. However, this time she refrained from talking about their relationship, citing the late actor's wife Neela Devi. The actress said that her comments about Kapoor were not liked by his wife. Mumtaz On Relationship With Shammi Kapoor In a recent conversation with the Times of India, Mumtaz explained her reasons for staying silent on the topic. The actress said, 'Everyone keeps asking me the same old things. My sister got some calls from people who told her, 'Mumtaz should not answer those questions.' But how many times can I say 'no comments'? My sister told me, 'You are hurting people in the industry.' I don't want to hurt anyone. They are my family.' 'I Had No Regrets' The actress further said that even the children of the people she has spoken about feel uncomfortable. She said, 'I have no regrets about speaking the truth but it gets boring. Everyone only wants to ask about Rajesh Khanna and Shammi Kapoor. It gets very repetitive. His (Shammi's) wife feels bad, she asks, 'Why is she talking about my husband?' So, I have decided not to hurt anyone.' 'It Wasn't Just An Affair' Shammi Kapoor lost his first wife Geeta Bali in 1965. He later met Mumtaz on the sets of 'Brahmachari' and the two grew close. However, their relationship did not progress to marriage. According to her, Kapoor asked her to quit the film industry – something she was not ready to do at that time. 'He wanted me to give up my career when I was just 17. I don't think anyone could love me the way he did. I have never forgotten him. Even today when someone mentions his name, I get teary-eyed. It wasn't just an affair. It was much more than that. We loved each other very much. But at that time, women in the Kapoor family didn't work. They had to respect their family's wishes and I had to respect my career.' For the unversed, Shammi Kapoor married Neela Devi in 1969. Shammi and Neela parted ways in 2011 with the death of the legendary actor.

Simran Singh To Join Advocate Anjali Awasthi's Cast As Show Takes 20-Year Leap
Last Updated: Simran Singh's entry in Advocate Anjali Awasthi will reportedly bring an intriguing twist to the current track of the show. Star Plus' popular show Advocate Anjali Awasthi is all set to take a dramatic 20-year leap, ushering in an emotional new chapter for fans. Post-leap, Shritama Mitra will continue in the lead, taking on a challenging double role as both Anjali Awasthi and her daughter Aarti Awasthi. Joining the cast as a parallel lead is Simran Singh, known for her role in Qayamat Se Qayamat. As reported by Telly Chakkar, Simran Singh has been roped in to play a key role Advocate Anjali Awasthi after the much anticipated leap. A source told the portal that Simran's entry in the show will bring an exciting factor, adding an intriguing twist to the current track of the show. Ever since its premiere last year, Advocate Anjali Awasthi has been one of the fans' favourite shows, thanks to its compelling narrative. Alongside Shritama Mitra, Ankit Raizada also played the lead role in the show and won hearts with his compelling and bold performance. While Shritama has been retained to play the lead in the show even after the leap, Ankit has reportedly decided to quit for his personal growth and aim to explore new roles. Meanwhile, Anshul Bammi, who portrays the role of Yuvraj Thakur, has also decided to exit the show. While talking to Times Of India, the actor revealed the reason behind his decision, saying, 'I would like to clarify that my decision to step away from the show is not related to the age of the character. I have no hesitation in portraying a character older than my actual age. However, with the recent leap in the storyline, I believe the focus of the show will now shift more towards the new cast." It needs to be noted that Advocate Anjali Awasthi is inspired by the Bengali hit Geeta LLB. The Hindi adaptation of the show has garnered impressive TRP ratings, even securing its place in the top 5 spots in the charts. The show, produced by Blues Productions, follows a fearless and resolute woman who fights against all odds and powerful foes in her relentless pursuit of justice. First Published:
